might interest you, may state that yes
terday on my tour of enumeration |
found at La Puebla (precinct No. Is, San
ia Fe county,, Pedro Antonio Lopez, who
stated his aye to me as ia. Upon my
questioning him whether he remembered
the total eclipse of the sun (lS06) he said
he did, that he was then young man OF
20. That in that year great many peo-
pie died on account of the black pox
(viruela negra u brava,) and that on the
day of the eclipse he was helping to dig
graves in Santa Cruz; that the darkness
lasted about half an hour, and that he
and his companion grave diggers thought
the day OF judgment had come, and
they all fell to the ground and prayed.
He also stated that he had served one
year as soldier under King Ferdinand,
of Spain. He thinks it was Ferdinand
Septimo, but is not quite sure about that.
He is totally blind and unable to move
on account of weakness, but his mental
faculties seem to be unimpaired. found
him crouched upon mattress on the
floor, with his face to the wall, but upon
my speaking to him he would tuN his
head and promptly answer my questions.
He is attended to by daughter and a
grandson, who are in poor circumstances.
He says that his total blindness dates
back only about ten years, when he was
l04 years old. | have no doubt that his
statement regarding his age is correct,
it being corroboratcd by several other
very old persons. Francisco Martinez
and Simon Martinez (brothers) both OF
them totally blind, the former SO, the
latter 81 years of age, who live few
miles distant, related to me that they had
known Pedro Antonio Lopez ever since
they were little boys, and that he was
then a grown man. Very respectfully

African English.

English as she is wrote by native
potentates on the west coast of Africa
is Ineligible, if not elegant. A private
letter received here from the French
Congo says that his majesty King Moni
Machindu had been stealing the wives
of employees at the white trading posts,
and otherwise cutting up in an unseen
ly manner. The French administrator
sent him a stern and dictatorial mes
sage ordering him to transfer his royal
person to the French post for palaver
and accounting. Thereupon the king
took his pen in hand and produced the
following forcible and defiant answer:
II save English, me save Portuguese,
me save German, me no save French.
Dem Frenchmen be king for Coango,
me be king: for Mayumba. Suppose
them Frenchman get palaver for me,
he better him come for my town"
The Frenchman came for his town
with a gunboat and squad Of soldiers,
and the king suddenly took to the
woods, with all his people, looking
back now and then to see the smoke
rising from his burning village. At
last accounts Moni Machindu had quit
letter-writing, and was sadly rebuild
ing his village, convinced that his liter.
airy attachments in this instance had
been positive detriment to him. ~,

the sOre-backed mule, till a trade is
started.

Freaks of the st. Lawrence River.

''The St. Lawrence river" said a
Clayton member of the Cogburn club
last evening, sis most erratic as
well as beautiful body of water. You
have probably noticed several items in
the newspapers of vessels sailing on it
running aground because of lowWater.
Just think of it--low water with the
almost continuous rains we have had
the last spring, summer, and falll But
such is the fact And in some other
generally dry seasons the st. Lawrence
has been unusually high. 1t is said
that the grand old river has one of
those low spellssiaking fits, so to
speak-ever seven years, but I can't
youch for the truth Of that. The fact
remains, however hat it is unlike any
other body of water / know of, and
when other streams and neighboring
lakes are high the St. Lawrence is apt
to make contrary showing - Uties
Observer.
