Sitting Bull replied that he did not

The conversation extended much
further than this, but the facts which
had been drawn out seemed to have
established certain important facts, and
the reporter withdrew. The commonly
accepted account OF Clusters death, in
which Rain-in- the Face is represented a,
his slayer, will have to yield before this
version, confirmed as Sitting Bulls story
is by Sergeant Ryan's account of the

AN ARMY IN AFRICA.
Tho Remark able March of 100, 900
MOhammedanst 10 the West Coast.

Secretary of State Bayard is in receipt of a
dispatch from Sierra Leone giving accounts
OF the movements of an army Of 100, 900 men
in the interior OF Africa The dispatch was
sent by United States Consul Lewis who
says:
II have the honor to bring to the notice Of
the department of state the fact of an extra
ordinary movement among the Mohamme-
dams OF the Nigrtian regions, extending from
Timbuctoo to the west coast 1t appears that
i'll 1850 "a Mandingo named Samudu of ex-
traOrdlnary intelligence and energy con-
ceiyed the idea that he was called OF God to
wage war for the suppression of pagan
ism and the opening of the roads to
the coast, which in certain districts have been
for generations sub lected to excessive black
mail and to the plundering OF vagabond
tribes During the last five years he has col
lected an army, consisting OF foot and horse
OF about 10 900 men. Moaammodan youths,
wherever he goes flock to his standard, anX-
ious not only to secure the reward in the
hereafter promised to those who fight for
their religion, but to carry oil the rich
spells of time which these expeditions
that battle for the faith are sure
to win. 1t is said that Samuiu's army is
divided into three portions; one is operating
near the headwaters of the Niger This por-
ton recently drove certain French troops
from the gold regions of Boure, of which they
had taken possession, and are now besegug

Another portion Of the army is operating in the
regions east Of Liberia, and by supp essing

and introducing knowledge Of religion and
letters is III one sense opening the way for
negro emigrants of intelligence and energy
from America to push out from the Africa
American republic 10 the healthy and fertile
regions Of the interior. In another sense it
is forestalling the whole region for Mo-
hammelanlsm and making it difficult,
if not impossible, i, indeed, it is de-
sirable, to convert that country TO the
faith imported from America by the emf
grants. The third portion of the army is ap
preaching the coast few miles northwest OF
Sierra Leone. 1t has secured the submission
by force or voluntary surrender of all tina
tribes on the way for 500 miles back"

1t is the universal practice to recog-
nize birds and beasts as dumb animals.
And yet they all utter or speak Ian
guage as distinct, and as well understood
To each other and by mankind, as any
branch of the baboling race. 1t is use
less, almost, to select any one branch of
the animal kingdom to illustrate the
fact that they are not dumb, either in
making a noise, uttering an intelligent
language, understood by each other, in
each class, and understood by man when
he thoroughly studies each animal Ian
guage. Take the common domestic
fowl, by its familiarity best known. The
ciuclling of hen to her brood is plainly
to keep them from strayipg too far, and
to enable them to lind her in the dark or
in the grass The hen, her chicks and
man understand it. She has another
note when she discovers worm or bug
for her brood, and they run to receive it.
The peculiar cry or scream of the cock
when hawk is lowering over to spy a
chick is unlike any other cry, and cannot
be mistaken by any one. And to show
that it Is not the universal language of
danger, when another enemy Is discov-
cred by him approaching through weeds
or grass, there is different note Of
warning, and is understood by the hen
and her brood, as ia this case she docs
not look to the sky for the enemy. And
there are several other peculiar notes
we'll known to those familiar with hens
and ROSTERS, showing that they have a
varied and universal language. The
hog, too, can talk to its owner and to
each other, uttering as distinct notes for
each wish or desire as can a Cheyenne
Indian, or Hottentot at :he Cape Of
Good Hope. So there are virtually no
dumb brutes. .-Ioca State Register.

foreigner, who was an eye witness OF the
scenes of the devastation, reports that one
night the boat he occupied anchored near a
bamboo grove. BY morning the water had
risen to the tops of the bamboos, At other
points it rose as high as forty feet during the
night The inhabitants fed from the villages
and camped on the hillsidcs. At Kun In, a

A Quail With Human Instincts.

Mr.. John II. Osborn, of Bellevillc, n.
j., in December, 1899, obtained seventy
five quail from Tennessee for the pur-
pose of stocking the farm ADJACENT to
his home, Mr.. Frank Champion, a
neighbor of Mr.. Osborn's, agreed to take
care of the birds until the following
spring. When the time came for dis
tributing the birds Champion expressed
a wish to try the experiment of breeding
them while in confinement, and built in
his yard, near his house, large wire
cage, leaving the ground bare. lie Sc
lcctcd two pairs, and they mated. That
spring one of the birds built nest and
laid thirteen eggs, and was about set
ting on them when, in consequence of
the breaking of a water leader, the nest
was destroyed. The eggs were then
taken and put under a bantam and
Matched out. That summer the hen
quail died. Last summer one of the cock
birds died.
This spring the remaining pair, being
a cross mated, and the hen bird built a
nest and laid thirteen eggs. During the
first week of her sitting upon them she
was taken sick, and after moping for
two or three days died. While she was
sick, and after her death, the cock bird
manifested some very remarkable charac-
teristics. He seemed greatly distressed.
The hen bird had died on her nest. The
cock bird would run to her and caress
her and then turn away and call her.
lie made queer chirpings and sounds
such as he had never been heard to utter
before. At last he seemed to realize
that his mate was dead lie then went
and pulled her off the nest and dragged
her body over to the corner of the cage
with backward movements of his feet.
There he dug hole and covered her
up with earth, leaving only the long
wing feathers on one wing exposed.
This done. without uttering any
further sounds, he returned to the nest
and sat on the eggs, and he eventually
succeeded in bringing out brood OF
ten young quail The young birds are
now alive.
The story of the burial is vouched for
by large number of witnesses.

A Man Drawn About by Two Sheep

Almost every one who has ridden out
toward the Bots, saysa Paris letter to the
New Orleans PicaYune, has seen the old
man in the little carriage drawn by sheep
pattering along in the Avenue de Bots
de Boulogne. These sheep are two as
fine fat Southdowns as you ever saw, but
the occupant is a cripple by the name of
De Keroy. He has been in turn a soldier,
traveller, politician, a journalist, and
a man of letters. A nephew of the Able
LammenaiS, he was for while private
secretary to Lamartine, also an intimate
friend of the marquis of Hereford, at
whose place in the Bots he frequently
met Louis Napoleon During the war
he volunteered to carry important dis,
patches out of Paris for the government
of the Defense Rationale. He started
alone in balloon, which was caught in
a hurricane, carried into Switzerland,
and came down in the midst of the Mer
de Glace Glacier where his legs were so
badly frost bitten that they both had to
be amputated. Beside his legs he lost
his fortune by the war, and it is his poy.
erty that compels him to make use of a
sheep instead of a pony cart. Before
the sheep were presented to him by a
friend he used to go about in little
wagon propelled by a machine worked
by hand. Babylas and Babette, as they
are called, now draw their master as
swiftly as Il pony could. The SOLITAIRE

and Victor Hugo were fast friends; the
latter often walking alongside the
mutton coach" talking with its occu-
pant and caressng the sheep.

between the East Fork Of the Salmon
and Big creek, which flows into the

The lodges are wide, the groupings
being massive, 10 or II feet thick,
and standing out boldly. The veins
carry free milling or teaching chloride
and sulphuret ores, which assay from
5000 to $4,000 per ton, of which about
ten per cent. is gold, the balance being
silver. Timber and water abound.
