board and all hands on deck. In short
space of time the ship cleared the berg
and "hove to" for the night. The ice, it
is said, as it foated away with its three
tall pinnacles distinctly visible against
the night sky, presented the appearance
of a phantom three-masied ship as 1t
faded into the gloom. The passengers,
grateful for their deliverance from an
appalling death, assembled in the saloon,
aud, when they learned that the good
ship was still water tight, they fell upon
their knees and feelingly offered up their
thanks to the throne on high for the
mercy So graciously shown them. Then
the hymn: "Praise God from Whom all
Blessings Flow" was sung. Never,
possibly, was it rendered with more i'm
pres>ive earnestness Sobs mingled
with the chant, and tears filled the eyes
of strong men.
A careful inspection of the fore-hold
showed that the water-tight bulkhead

Bull Against PythOns.

Bull Against PythOns.
Last Sunday week one of the most re-
markablc scenes on record is reported as
having been witnessed in the vicinity of
Table Mountain. A troop of cattle, con-
sisting of twelve COWS and a patriarchal
old bull, were grazing on one of the
pIateau-like spurs OF the mountain, which
is surrounded on three SIDES by precipi-
tiOus ravineS, and on the fourth side,
that nearest the emountain, by dense bush.
Some natives higher up the mountain
were attracted by the sudden believing
of the cattle, and saw two enormous
pythons coming out of the bush and
making for the cattle, which had drawn
themselves up in impact group with
the bull at its head. AS the pythons
drew near the animals gradually backed
till they stood on a small space that
jutted out over tremendous precipice.
At this stage sudden rush was made,
but only one heifer succeeded in escap-
ing. The other cattle, believing most
piteously, gradually backed, and one by
one fell over the precipice till finally the
bull only was left. lie suddenly charged
at the Dig python, transfixing the reptile
on his horns, but the second snake seized
the bull in his folds and, having its tail
around huge boulder, commenced to
crush the bull, which, moaning piteously,
struggled frantically to escape The
tail of the python lost its hold of the
rock, but the larger snake which had
slipped off the horn, tapping its tail
around smaller boulder opposite the
one the other suake had Just released,
seized the bull and compressed the ami
nal in its scaly fold. The other python
succeeded in regaining its former posi-
tion, and the bull was literally suspended
in mid air by the snakes. The whole
scene looked like some ghastly triumphal
march. The snakes were evidently get.
ting the best of the poor brute, which
was bleeding prosusely, when, by sud-
den effort, his struggles forced both rep
tiles to loose their hold of the rocks and
the whole three were hurled into the
ravine beneath.
The cattle were found on the first
ledge of the precipice, all being dead,
but the bull and the pythons had bounded
from ledge to ledge, and were found 400
feet below the scene of the fight. The
bull was merely mangled mass and the
snakes were greatly mutilated, the larger
one having the vertebrae broken in niue
places. The pythons, which were of the
rock species, male and female, measured
respectively 10 feet , inches and 36
ct Il inches.-Aa'I (South Africa

A Plain-spoken Man.

His style
I'm plain, uncultivated man not
much inclined to Cabling though
| speak my mind where'er l am, an
ginerally not very low.
His caution

before venture in a boat l try to
understand the drift of politics be-
fore vote.
His struggles
For pears I've toiled and struggled
hard to keep a roof above my head ;
I've never drank or played a card,
and yet haven't got red.
Ills daily task
From rising of the sun l strive
with all my might each blessed day
to keep my family alive and drive
the hungry wolf away.
HIS thanks
I've no complaint to make of toll
I'm thankful I've got the health to
dig a living from the soil prize
that more than worldly wealth.
His disgust
Though troubles come to me
enoug seldom grumble, never balk ;
but am disguised with the stuff
that certain politicians talk.
His opinion
From morn till night they work
their jaws, which seems to be in
good repair, to back their protection
cause with cant and lies fill the air.
His argument
They tell me l must surely vote
for tariff high while I've chance I;
| show to them my ragged coat, like
wise the patches on my pants.
His question
They tell me how protection shields
the farmer and improves his lands; /
ask them why it takes whole fields
of wheat TO meet our months de-
mands.
His points
They tell me there is no distress
in farm ihomes drought this nation ;
l point them to my poor wife's dress
and asked them for an explanation.

Whose Horse is This3


William Ezell, an extensive tobac-
CO planter and highly respected cit
izen of Stewart County met with a
singular experience here last Satur-
day. He came to the city on business
riding fine horse belonging to his
daughter, and when ready to start
home became suddenly sick. He
went TO the stable, ordered the horse
started on his journey, and after a
short time became unconscious. While
in this condition he met Joe Jackson,
respectable colored man of South
GAINESVILLE, and the two traded horses,
Jackson proceeded home congrstu-
lating himself over his part of the
trade, and some hours later Mr.. Ezell
recovered his senses, and, finding
himself in possession of an unknown
horse, proceeded to find out how he
got the animal, and succeeded in do
ing so. The case is to he litigated
before Squire Caldwell this week.

A Wonderful Steamer.

The new British Iteamship City OF
Nav York Is a marvel of marine ar
chitecture. The cost TO build over
f350,000, or about $l,750,000 Her
length is $50 feet, and breadth of beam
63 feet, while her engines are of the
triple expansion style and are over
10000 horse power. A manufactur-
ing plant requiring 1000 horse power
is considered a great enterprise, but
this steamers engines are nearly
twenty times that. The consumption
of fuel to. furnish this vast power av-
erages about $50 tons a day. She
has crew of 80 men and ample ac-
comodations for l,450 passengers.
One thousand electric lamps are re-
quired to furnish light. Her owners
receive a subsidy from the British
Government of fl0,000(or $4,000
year for the privilege of being able to
take the vessel in the event of war
Beside this, the revenue from the
English mails amount to ElS,0OO

South Kentucky College,
The next Session will begin
TUESDAY, SEPT, 4,

This school has an enviable record for the
thorough methods Of teaching pursued.
Old fossilized ideas OF training and decipline
find no place in its management.
The Crsmming process in Education ia
studiously avoided, as well as the machine
methods of many, SO called, grad. schools.
To know from memory is good, but to he
able to know by thought is better. Pupils are
encouraged to the exercise OF all their better
powers.
The faculty will remain, as it has been for
year past except the place Of Prof. Dabney
will be supplemented by PROF. FLEMING.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the faculty
consists OF the same number OF professors and
teachers ana that all the advantages usually
offered are still to be obtained as any former
session.
