about five miles from wahallak and re

about five miles from Wahallak and re-
ports are hard to get. Late reports are
to the effect that the whites and blacks
are now about equal in numbers, and the
were about to advance to the swamps.
This, of course. increases the excitement
here. and reports of an encounter are
hourly expected. That it will be fearful
in its results no one for a moment doubts.
Judging from the past, the situation is
anything but reassuring. Those who re-
member the riots of 1875 shudder as they
contemplate all the horrors Of a race war.
The affair is greatly regretted by all
good citizens who forsee that much blood
shed NAV be the result and while there is
no doubt as to who will be the 1ictors
when the crisis comes, still it is a most
deplorable affair and one that will have a
baneful influence on the South.

PARIS, Dec. l7.-Gen. Boulanger. in
an interview to day, condemned the gov
eminent for allowing honest people to
think the Panama canal project was sure
of official patronage and now turning its
back on it. He said that when he was in
America in 1881 he was told that when
the Panama canal was finished that coun-
try would place a fort at each end: that
no treaty in the world would prevent
them from closing the canal in time OF
war, and that Columbia would not hinder
this action. He added hat he had sent
home a secret report on the subject which
was probably lying unread on the shelves
of the minister of wars office.

Composition on the Cow.

A COW has four legs. This is wise
provision of nature, because for a
respectable COW to have only three
legs would seriously affect her stand
ing.
Young male cows are called steers.
They yield no milk, but it would be
false logic to conclude that the female
COW steers with her udder. The COW
has sometimes peculiar way-curds
and whey. This is only when she's
sojourned long enough in one place
to leave her nothing but her milk.
Eight cows have been known to
feed in one shed, while one COW has
been known to ruminate. This is not
on account of their signs. They do
not have loud voices, but rather low.
There have been several famous
cows in antiquity; for instance, the
Minotaur. There is no mention of
what it tore. This, however may be
considered bull.
There was also 10. She was q wo-
man converted into female bull.
Since then papal bulls have converted
many women.
Ills suggests tlat ulIlerenC natlOnS
have different kinds of COW. Thus
we have seen that Rome has her bull
while Carthage had Hamilcar cher
milker), Though a live COW is neces-
sarily a calf kin, she is not deemed
leather until she is dead,
There is an absence of cow from the
sky, but there is bull there. This
is because there are so many other
stars in the milky sky. TO compen-
safe, in the ocean there are no sea-
bulls, but there are sea-cows, which
is proper, for if one thing is needed in
the water it's smimmin'. Cows are
useful animals. They can sew, they
can hook, and can gore and run by us,
and do many other things, which are
in the "nature of the baste." Unfor-
tunately they are not always SO gen.
tie as they seam.
Cows rarely change color, yet while
being MIXED they have been seen to
turn little pail.
Altogether, cows are valuable
friends, and while plucking the flow
ers On the road of life, however we
may let the primrose 60, we should
not let the cowslip.

red birds, what is known here as the
