pets Of the farm. 1t is from a
painting by a celebrated artist and
is a gem. Another premium will
be "Buds and Blossoms" a volume
of original and selected poems,
handsomely bound and profusely
illustrated with beautiful steel and
wood engravings. 1t is decidedly
the most perfect gift-book ever Of
fered by any magazine. Another
premium is years subscription

newspapers pronounce "Peterson"
equal in literary point of view to
the highest priced periodicals, and
as fashion guide far ahead of any
of the lady's books. IL has some of
Americas most popular authors
among its contributors. 1t has
numerous excellent wood-illustra-
tions, and its fancy and household

There was an object Of curiosity on the
market the other morning which quickly col
lected a crowd. 1t was a farmers dog of
medium size, and he had on a collar studded
with enormous tacks, leather bands around
his body ornamented the same way, and
fastened to his forelegs jusS above the feet
were the same gaffs as are used on fighting
cocks
"You see," explained the farmer, 'every
time Belshazzar comes to town with me he is
tackled and chawed up by some Of your
smart Alecks. I've got tired Of it, and I've
fitted him out to defend himself As I've
brought him all the way In wagon, and as
I'd kinder like to know how the old thing
will work, some Of you may bring up your
best stock"
A man went across the street and got a
Newfoundland about as big as yearling
calf, and he had no sooner caught sight of
the country chicken under the wagon than
he went for him There was roar, a howl
and a yelp, and then the big dog broke for
the woods with the little dog close behind
One mouthful of tacks was plenty for the big
un, and his yelps Of pain and terror could be
heard three blocks
Come, Belshazzar, git back under the
wagon" said the farmer. We've struck it
plumb center, and the medal Is ours Jist
let 'em come up and pitch in as fast as they
want to- We hain't no wings, but we git

sIave Traffic On africa.

The latest accounts from the east coast Of
Africa leave no room for doubt that large
numbers of slaves drawn from the Lake Ny
ASA district are now regularly exported to
Madagascar. A recent eye witness Of some
OF the atrocities committed by the Arabs
states that they have no regard Tor human
life or suffering. Large numbers Of Kid
naped villagers who are taken to the ports
on the coast are conveyed In dhows to Mad
agascar. Mojanga is the headquarters of
this nefarious traffic, and there Is too much
reason to believe that few Europeans as
well as large number of British Indians are
concerned in these ventures. Being we'll
acquainted with the movements Of the ships
of war, the foreigners at Mojanga are always
able to warn their Sakalva or Arab accom-
plices of impending danger The Hovs
authorities are bound by treaty to prevent
the landing OF slaves, and it would be intor-
esting to know what reasons they give for
relaxing their vigilance There is general
opinion that things will not improve until o
greater amount of consular supervision Is
exercised on the west coast of Madagascar
