A BONANZA IN BLOOD.
PrOgency I'm whose Veins Flow the
Blood of the Five Races.
iSdn Francisco Chronicle.

san Francisco GhTOnicte.
"Now, if told you the cold fact that
] saw human beings in whose veins
flow the blood of all the five races into
which mankind is divided you couldn't
believe it, would you? And you would
say never carried little Ratchet, us
ing mild language, wouldn't you? sal a
well known histrionic gentleman, just
returned from the Sandwich Islands, to
a reporter of the Chronicle last even-
ing.
NO, would not believe it, was the
the frank reply.
"Well here is the case, and it is gen.
uine one: The present Mrs. Brown of
Honolulu was born in the Hawaiian
kingdSn. Her father was part negro
and part Amerscan Indian, and her
mother a native Hawaiin woman. In
Mrs. Browns veins, therefore flowed
the blood of three raceS-the negro, the
Indian and the Malay. So far so good,
Ell! Mr.. Browns first husband was
Chiuaman; and q daughter by that
marriage, now the wife of the Rev. DIR.
Lyman, a clergyman at HilO, united in
her veins the blood of four races, the
yellow, or Mongolian, being added to
her mothers mixed life blood. Now
Mrs. Lyman is the mother of children
by q Caucasian father and don't that
make those innocent little ones carry q
very mixed kind of blood, uniting, so to
speak, all the eolors-white, black, red,
and brown?n
"All except blue BLOOD remarked
the reporter, but the histrionic gentle
man did not hear the remark, but is
fortunate he did not, else he might
have added something which would
have thrown discredit on his entire
story.

Fell I'm the PIT He Had Dug.

An economical young man, says a
Paris paper, takes three ladies to dinner
at q restaurant, and before the repast is
brought in says eonfidentially to the
waiter:
Whenever l call for Chambertin
bring Us a good second-claSs Beaune; it
Is less heating to the blood, and the lit
tie dears II never know the difference
you understands
The waiter replies that he does; din
ner is served; Chambertin is demanded
and Beaune is brought in accordance to
agreement.
Presently the generous diner calls for
the bill and when he receives it his face
clouds visibly.
Here, waiter" he observes, discharg-
ing q whole broadside of mods and becks
and wreathed winks upon that funct-
lonary, There is some mistake here, in

"Oh, no, sir" says the waiter court

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Hunting a Wild Woman.

For some months past the people of Ca.
Darrus County, NC, have been excited by the
VISITS OF weird negress, with long hair and
gieamlng eyes.SsShe asks in hardly distin-
guishable gibbefIsh for a baby to eat. and
makes efforts to get hold of the children. The
men, getting tiredefashe fears of their wives
determined to try to caSeNthe creature. and
forthe last week crowds q fknners have been
daily aud nightly chasin her without suc-
cess. The first effort to catoh her was made
by John Roberts, blacksmith The
wild creature had appeared several
tines at fire which 1t was the
habit of Carey Moore, colored, of the
neighborhood, to light after dark in the yard
OF his house for the preparation of his meals
Roberts was put there to watch for her, and
she appeared even before the flames were
well kindled. She presented such wild look
In the half light and asked for food in such
wild fashion that Roberts was demoralized
He recovered, however, made an outcry and
attempted to seize the woman but she Slip
ped through his hands and disappeared in
the dark shadows of the woods. Major Steven
COwell caught sight of the creature on the
following morning and chased her across an
open field He was badly hurt in his efforts
to keep up with her, and reported that she
outran buck and cleared four corn rows at
a leap. That night she was again en-
ticed from the gloom of the woods by
the kindling of a fire, and was chased
by thirty men without success. Capt. Marsh
Allen later on met her in the neighborhood d
her face torn and bleeding and long, bloody
knife in her hand. The creature was naked,
and so unearthly and terrible looking to him
that he says he is not sure it is human be-
ing. Her hair reached almost to her feet, but
was kinly like that of the African. 1t is not
mere fright which has caused the country
people to organize in their attempts to catch
the creature, who has been living in the forest
and swamp fastnesses for year or more.
Some months ago it is reported that an in
tant was spirited away from its parents
yard while they were in the corn field, and
was never heard from, and the disappearance
was from that section Of the country in which
the wild woman has been seen, and mothers,
white and black, are in terror for fear their
little ones may also become food for the can
nibal negress. The excitement among the
