A Festival az Samoa.

4 naval officer stationed at Samoa
writes IN recent private letter:
The long-waited- tolota, which
YOU may not know is a native festival
at which presents Of food etc., are
given by the people to the King, ac-
companied with promises Of allegiance,
came off to-day, and saw the people
gather, all in best bib and tucker, in
some cases a marvel of rich color.
Here is a tiputa in the most dazzling
copbination of crimson and green
satin, and there is a village maiden
abom;nably ugly, but with such
head-dress, a mass of bleached hair
standing on end, at least six inches
high, looking like the puffy structure
of the dandelion flower, and decorated
with shells; in front are two hornlike
protuberances adorned with pink and
white feathers.
''The crowd is like one of our own
on show days-uuiversal; every man,
woman, and child ia the place and
surrounding country is tlocking to the
spot The fathers and mothers are
gliStening with coeoanut oil; their hair
is firmly brushed on end and scented
with sandal nut, aud they wear stiff
lara-laras, or skirts, which bunch out,
and give them a culiously awkward
appearance. A woman lust in front
of us stopped to arrange her drapery,
all uumiudful Of the eyes behind her,
and as the lower edge Of her lara-lara
crept up some fine tattoo with which
she was decorated were displayed. An
infant rides astride the mothers hip,
imbibing health and happiness as it
goes, the mother apparently not no.
ticing the child or its occupation.
II don't know what you may hear of
Samoa now, but certainly Mantaata
and the Admiral are ON excellent
terms. Uusually the common people
dance before the King, but an especial
honor was paid to the Admiral by
the chiefs dancing, something so
unusual here that many people had
never seen it before. A grave, digni-
hed-looking man this chief, with r
grand face and eyes that speak pleas
antly when he looks at you. The gale
has destroyed much fruit and other
products, and natives viii have a hard
time of it making both ends meet for
the coming season.

Begun in Nero's Time.

A work of engineering begun by the
Romans under Nero, in the second
century. will be finished this year;
that is, it has been in process Of con-
struction for over seventeen hundred
years, says the St. Louis G'o5e-Dem9-
crut. The work to which we refer is
the cutting Of canal through the
Isthmus of Corinth. The canal when
done, will be only four miles long, and
will have a depth of eight meters,
which will allow the passage Of the
largest vessel used in Greek traffic.
1t is NOT 50 great q matter from an
international view as the Suez and

to further the rapid progress made by
modern Greece in the arts of ciyi.ila-

The thought has struck US since
The destruction Of our friend DR..

crosby Of our people to rebuild it,
why not form a mutual fire assurance
society for each town? For instance,
let all the householders of Abbeville
mite 10 ar organization in which
they oblisate themselves to make
good the loss of any member from
FIRE. Officers could be elected and
a small monthly fee be paid to cover
expenses, and when a fire occurs
levy an assessment sufficient to cover
che loss. In this way the burden
would fall on all; and who knows
when he will see his all disappear
