An African Cattle Farm.

1t may be interesting to our live stock
readers TO know that there is u cattle
farm in Africa of huge proportions.
We allude to the Dunk, a cattle farm,
at Port REX, an island In Upper Nile.
This farm belongs to II huge, Cat, Afr.
lean woman called "Old Shol." Wheth-
er that Is her genuine name this de-.
ponen. saith not. But it might as well
be, for II she has any other name it is
probably AS hideous as "Old Shol.n
Well, h old wench owns tract of
land as big as several counties IN Illinois,
n N watermelon patch beside, and
has no less than 10000 head OF cattle.
The animals are cared for by the own
er's slaves, who call them ''lUly cattle"
Just why they should be called by that
name is not known to people who have
the misfortune to live anywhere outside
OF Africa. But probably they are more
heightened in their moral characters,
more spiritual minded, and less incliu-
ed TO switch their tails around pro.
miscuously, than are other cattle, Phy.
sically, however, ''Old Shol's" cattle are
poor specimens, especially as compared,
with the sleek, well.fed bouncing boy
ines raised in the United States. They
are long legged, thin, scrawny looking
creatures with horns resembling the
blade OF a scythe. The COWS are poor
'milkers," as their yield Of milk OIL an
average is only about equal 10 that of
goats. In quality, too, the milk is no.
thing to brag of, being not much better
than the average fluid peddled out by
Chicago milkmen when water is cheap
and abundant.
Let none of readers suppose from
these facts that the writer Of this article
is himself an African, for such is not
the case. Nor has he ever been in
Africa. Nor has he ever seen any of
the cattle mentioned above. But the
facts were obtained from a most reliable
source, and II any one who doubts them
will call 1T this office we will show him
the pencil with which this article was
written.

American Competition In Franc

American Competition In France
Lady voIney in the Contemporary Review
[ sat by an intelligent middle-class
Frenchman at the table d'hote who
knew the country we'll. He gave very
much such an account of their agri-
cultural difficulties as we should do in
England. The wheat, cheese and pork
are undersold by American produce,
the "displacements d'industrie ct de
commerce. occasioned by arrivals
from the New World, unhinge every
thing. | told how we had heard from
a German grand seigneur that his fine
Saxony woods were ruined by the pro-
duce of Australian sheep, which was
not nearly so good, but was preferred
by the manufacturers of cheap wares,
aud of the distress thus caused in
Germany. My neighbor said that the
| dislocation of trade was, he believed,
now universal; probably as population
increased in America, and the cost of
production with it, an equilibrium
would be found, but there will be
much distress in Europe first. There
are other very serious dangers in
France. The phylloxera is very bad
and widespread, and no cure has yet
been found against this almost micro
scopic insect but to plant the Ameri-
can vine, whose bark is tougher and
cannot be gnaRn away; but two or
three years must go by before the
plants will bear, and how can the
small cultivator wait so long2 Then
the silk industry has quite died out
with tho disease in the worms, and
Lyons is using Chinese and Japanese
silk as cheaper. Also in the south
whole districts had depended on the
cultivation Of the Garance, used among
other things as a dye for the red
trousers Of the French soldier. Now
gas tar dyes had taken its pla,e, and
the farmers growing madden were
ruined. France is so large and her
productions so various that no one
hears much a ~l'etranger of all this, but
the distress was very real.

look from the beginning. There was
but one way 70 save the prisoner.:.and
that was through President Lincoln.
Even that was doubtful, for it might
be impossible to reach the President
before the court martial had decided
the prisoners fate. The editor of the
Journal instantly ~telegraphed to his
old Wing friend and admirer and at
once set off for Washington. The tel.
egram was duly received, and Burnside
was telegraphed to put off the trial till
further orders. From some unex-
planned cause this dispatch failed to
reach Burnside's headquarters, and
the trial Of Major Prentice was going
on when his father reached Washing
ton. The delays of civil courts are
unknown to court martial. Judg-
ment follows quick on the heels Of
evidence, and sentence and execution
as rapidly follow Judgment. In the
case of Prentice an hour might de.
eide whether he should live or die.
The intelligence of the old journalist
had silently debated all these chances
while on the way TO meet Lincoln, and
though he believed in his heart that
his old friend would save his son, he
did not waste a minute in seeing him
and hearing the truth from the Presi-
dents own mouth. For years he had
not seen MIR. Lincoln, and he might
have grown cold or forgotten him.
Hastily entering the Presidents
office, there, seated alone, apparently
in deep thought, was the long, uneain-
ly figure of the mar whose word might
make him happy or send linn in sor-
row to the grave. The long. u~ngainly
figure raised its head, turned its face
toward the entrance, and with a beam
ing smile of brotherly tenderness said,
Prentice, did you think I'd let them
hang your boyY Sit down and tell me
a story" 1t was no time with the
anxious father for telling stories. He
hastily suggested hal probably the
telegram might have failed. II have
sent another, and here's the answer.
Your boy is safe." And then, with
the instincts OF a lawyer, he turned to
the cabinet, took up a pen and paper,
and wrote another dispatch to Burn
side, substantially as follows:
Ordered-tha the court martial
called for the trial of Major Clarence
Prentice be Immediately dissolved.
A. LINCOLN, President.
And then turning to Prentice, he
said: Let US 60 and see that this is
Immediately SEN to Burnside, and
wait for his reply" 1t was so
sent, and the receipt acknowledged by
General Burnside. And SO it was that
President Lincon prevented one Of
his strictest Generals from taking the
life of the gallant but misguided son
of an old friend. There was an out
cry against it at the time, but greater
events soon hushed it into oblivion,
And now, when charity and brotherly
affection upon both sides have taken
the place Ofanger and bitterness, this
incident ofthe war rises up to bless
the name Of Lincoln. All the parties
to it are dead and gone-Lincoln
Prentice, Clarence, the son, and last
Of all, Burnside, whose death should
have been easier for having been SC
graciously spared the pain Of executing
justice untenpered with mercy.

Exploits.
London Echo.l

London Echo.l
Not long ago it was announced that
the notorious Radazzo, after a trial of
America, had recrossed the Allan
tic, and returned to his old field Of
work, and now we hear Of a still more
famous criminal a%dventurer, the dred-
full Ceneri, who was reported to have
provided material for many romances,
has been expedited by the government
OF Chill to his native land. The first
exploit by which he made himself ia
nous isnow probably forgotten though
it made a stir at the time. In the
very Hoontide Of business in the city
of Geneoa, when the streets we're
thronged with people, Ceneri, at the
head of eight armed men, entered the
bank of Parodi, muzzled the manager
and clerks, and carried off In safety a
booty of one million lire. He was
condemned to twenty years penal ser
vitude but simply in contumacy, for
! all the police OF all the Italian States
could not get hold of the daring
bandit. He was traced to Paris,
then to London and lastly to Constan-
tinople, where he kept a mint for the
coinage of false moneys, which we're
scattered all over Europe and made
Ceneri a man Of wealth. In 1860 he
reappeared in Italy and founded a
network of bands of criminals, who
had their headquarters in Romagna.
In one year alone 480 robberies Of
banks, railways, palaces, shops and
private houses were traced by the
police, rightly or wrongly to Ceneri't
bands" After four years of immu.
nifty, in April, 1864, the police cap
tured Ceneri and nine Of his men, who
were brought into the court in iron
cages, as veritable Jail birds. He was
condemned to Imprisonment for life
But in 1867, while being transported
on shipboard from Genoa to Leghorn.
Ceneri jumped into the sea, managed
to escape safely to Rome and from
thence to America. He founded az
organized band Of Italian robbers in
the new world, with a central Office in
New York. This Transatlantic Cam.
ORA" or Malta" labored with sue.
cess in Peru, Chill, Mexico and else.
where until a few months ago, when
the Chill police got Ceneri into theil
hands and presented him tothe Italian
authorities.
