L is hoped the different towns in the

favorable TO The denomination Of Hon.
Geo II Carter for County Judge. The
citizens Of this county can hardly do

1t is his first appearance to ask the

ton of the office Governor Rusk APP

There is a peculiar influence in the
air during campaign times, whether it
is for president or town clerk, that

q golden opportunity TO malign and

SAVED A HYsNA.s LEE.

The Worlds Philadelphia Special says
Probably for the first time on record 2
man is 10 be rewarded for saving the
life of a hyena. Al the annual session
of the ladies branch of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Keeper Shannon. of the Zoo, was awarded
a gold medal for his bravery in enter.
ing cage containing two hyenas and
preventing one of them from choking
to death on chunk of meat. On No
vember "A, while the carnivora house
was filled with visitors watching the
feeding of the animals, the byenas,
which are young and unusually fierce,
began TO fight over The share thrown
to them. Suddenly one of the brutes
began to choke, and it was found that
he had crunched his teeth into a bone
and that the meat attached to 1t had
partially slipped down his throat and
he was strangling himself.
If the animal was to be saved some
thing would have to be done quickly.
Shannon grasped scraper, and with
out hesitation opened the iron door and
sprang into the cage. The hyeuas
made dash at the daring keeper. but
he beat them back, while Head Keeper
Byrne dubbed them with broom
handle. Both animals frothed at the
fangs and acted as though they We're
rabid. Watching his opportunity,
Keeper Shannon finally succeeded in
striking the choking animal on the jaw
and loosenng the bone, anG it fell out
upon the floor of the cage with the meat
still attached. The plucky keeper
managed to get out Of the cage without
being injured. snd his act of kindness
in saving the life of the animal is con-
s;dered worthy of the socicty's gold
medal.

teers. They make excellent soldiers
and arc utterly fearless in battle. They
-wilifollow an English officer anywhere
and have won confidence by their cour-
age and endurance.
The Egyptians make poor soldiers,
are conscripts, and are cringing and
cowardly at the side of the blacks.
An illustration was given of their
cowardice on the 4th of March last
before Suakim. Colonel Tahh, an
uncommonly promising officer OF
twenty-nine years, was leading u
regiment of Egyptians. To con-
firm the courage of his troops he
jumped from his horse and cried out:
STAND, men, stand" but they fed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY and left him to find soli-
tary and untimely death. The Sou
danese is not careful to disguise his
contempt for his Egyptian fellow-sol-
der, and expresses his self-esteem in
the stock phrase, II am like the En-
glish.n The government is anxious TO
get his service, and gives him three
times the allowance of the Egyptian
private, or five dollars a month, is
careful of his prejudices and stipu-
lates to carry his wife and children
from one permanent camping-place TO
another.
The dervishcs are in control of the
Soudan. They are the Arab and Sou
danese followers of the Mahdi, who
are inspired with his Mohammedan
fanaticism and have survived him.
They call the blacks in the service Of
the Egyptian Government little inf
dels,n TO distinguish them from the
Christians, who are the "big infidels. !"
The leaders feed the zeal of their troops
by the promise of five white women
each if they reach the Lower Egypt
alive, and eighty wives in case they
are killed in battle. They dress, as far
as there is material enough to go
around, in white shirts, decorated with
rough patches of colOred stuffs. The
defeat OF Hicks Pasha and the sur
render of Khartoum furnishes them
with an excellent supply of arms and
ammunition. Upper Egypt is safe,
simply because there is English pro-
lection of the land and English skill
and firmness direct the movement Of
the Egyptian troops. Egyptian Letter.

about three hundred. and the virus
proved so strong that nearly all the

and at last accounts hog cholera was

seems to us, should serve as an i'm
