THOSE who find fault with General

THOSE who find fault with General
Bragg's appointment as Minister to Mex
leo, base their complaint on the fact that
he is fighter. Thus it would seem that
courage and depth of conviction are
qualities which unfit man for this posi-
ton. But is it indeed essential that dis
semblinS be feature of diplomacy
Candor should disqualify no man for any
public position, and courage TO speak
ones convictions should hardly be deem
ed disqualification. There needs to be
a departure from the old idea of what
constitutes fitness for diplomatic mis-
sion. Finesse should not be a desirable
trait in any calling.

Painters are very abundant on the Nc
Cloud river, and very destructive to
stock, especially to pigs; and from the
experience we have had with them here,
| should say that in this region at least
they very seldom climb trees. They are
perfectly well able 10, but they can jump
into "A tree 80 much quicker aud easier
than they can climb into it, that they
very seldom if ever resort TO climbing. /
think they would consider it slow work.
The hunters here assert very positively,
and stick to it, that panthers can jump
TO the limb Of II tree twenty or thirty
feet from the ground, and as all the trees
about here have limbs nearer the ground
than that, it is obvious that our painters
would have very little occasion to resort
TO the slow process of climbing. But in
other parts of the country, where the
trees grow to a greater height without
branches, there is hardly a doubt, l
think, that panthers climb up the trunks
Of the trees when necessity for it occurs.
But even then l fancy that they jump
the first twenty feet or more up the trees.
They must certainly be able TO climb
trees whenever they want to, for their
claws and limbs are much stronger COM
pared with the weight of their bodies
than is the case with common house
cat, which climbs trees easily enough

bore on their heads, they took hold of

party. "You and l are one, he and the
other two, and 50 on" said they, but no
II could enumerate more than eleven
this way. Thinking that one of their
party had dropped out and would join
them later they crossed the sea of linen
and again proceeded to the enumeration.
They were still unable to find more than
eleven, though each one tried, You and
l are one, - etc. Finally one of them
said, brothers, 1 have it. We will take
twelve clods of dirt, and each one stick
his nose in his own clod. If there are
twelve noses zach clod will be used"
This plan succeeded, and they found
