The Columbia Register has no
regrets to express over the coloted
exodus, but takes the following very
practical and sensible view Of the
subject. According to the Census
the excess Of the colored population
over the white in 1880 was 2l3,051.
Estimating the natural increase in
population OF whites and blacks, the
excess il 1890 would be 297, 553; in
1900, 3S9,141. With colored ex.
odus of 10000 a year the excess in
1900 would be only 114,l50.
So far from regretting the exodus
it should be a matter of concratu-
lation that the State may thereby
become less of o black republic.
The places of the colored emigrants
will be filed at no distant dav by
white immigration.

An Elephant Hunt In Ceylon.

The presence here of the two sons of
the Prince of Wales has been made the
occasion for some festivity and Oriental
display, and among the spectacles pro-
jected was an elephant hunt, called a
kraal in Ceylon and a kaddah in India,
and conducted as like 8 California
cattle rodea as is possible with such
large animals. The enclosure into
which they are finally driven and Sc
cured is an actual corral, composed of
palisades formed from the trunks of
jungle trees, from nine inches to q foot
in diameter, and eighteen to twenty feet
long, deeply embedded in the earth and
strengthened by transverse beams and
diagonal braces, strongly lashed to the
uprights with natural ropes of tough
jungle creepers. The last affair of this
kind held in Ceylon was during the
Duke of Edinburgh's visit, in 1870, and
the one now described took place in
nearly the same locality. Here, in a
broad, thickly-wooded ravine, bisected
by stream of clear-running water, the
kraal was located. 1t contained about
four acres of thick jungle, through
which paths were cut angularly to IA
cilitate locomotion. The main entrance
to this enclosure was at the lower end,
and consisted of broad aperture, cap
able of being securely closed at a mo-
ment's notice by enormous bars.
Branching off angularly from each side
were long lines of bsrricades extending
far into the outer jungle in the form of
q funnel, and constituting what
known as the drive, into which the
game is forced and from which 1t oan
not easily escape, being surrounded In

die, land you may have your baby
again"
The mother thought it over, and at
last said: "You will not give him
back"
." Is that the truth you mean to tellP"
asked the crocodile
EYES," replied the mother.
"Then by our agreement keep him, :"
added the crocodile; "for if you told
the truth, I am not going to give him
back, and if it is falsehood, then have
also won."
Said she: "No, you are wrong. If I
told the truth you are bound by your
promise; and if falsehood, it is not a
falsehood until you have given me my
child"
Now, the question is, who Won?

And have the birds for neighbors.
