THAT Is What Distinguishes tho white

The grass barriers through which
DIR. Junker passed measured from ono
hundred feet TO mile and quarter in
width. and frequently delayed him for
hours on stretches that he might other
wise have put behind him In few
minutes. DR. Jun<er directs atten-
ton 10 the fact. however. that even
grass barriers are not an unmixed
evil since at high water their thick
ly matted substance serves the pur-
pose OF a filter in clarifying the
stream. So II happens that the White
Nile is 'thc clear" while the Blue

come welded by nets of innumerable
roots and smaller water plants till a

Junker says, were firm against such

made fast TO each of these massive bar
riers near It's edge and ut the same
time to the prov OF the Ismailia. The
steamship then backed water with all
her power and thus tore loose and set
adr lit down stream great chunks OF
the barrier. To thus clear river OF
a large barrier Is huge undertaking.

An AnglO-SaxOn Holiday.

The English speaking peoples may.
We think, properly claim Christmas as
peculiarly an Anglo-Saxon holiday. 1t
is true that it is also festival of the
Christian church, but it is easily demon
strated that is similar festival-without
the religious element-was observed by
the Germanic tribes long before the
Roman legions crossed the Alps, In
fact. it would seem that Christmas was
not originated by the church, but that
the priesthood adopted the feast.day, re-
modelling it to serve as vehicle for re
hgious ideas, and turning it's generous
and social spirit to account in the ser.
vice of the church. Did yon ever think
that day English is spoken by one
hundred and ten millions of people,
more than speak any other language on
earth? China has two hundred and fifty
millions of people and India one hun
dred and ninety eight. lut there are moi

St. Paul's Lawyer Abroad.

The fame of Lawyer McGhee having
gone forth as being second to none in
bis profession. Frank Murray, charged
with an indecent assault on young lady
with a term of not less than three nor
more than seven years in state prison.
staring him in the face, and the evidence
against him strong, and feeling that it
he is convicted his sentence will be the
highest penalty, he concluded that his
only hope lay in retaining the best legal
counsel to be had. Accordingly be and
his brother-in-law came to the city and
consulted McGhee and returned to their
home to determine upon retaining him,
the day of trial being near. at hand.
They dispensed with the service of the
home attorney and returned to the city
and retained McGhee who was then at
home confined to his bed. Once re-
tanned he Quilted bis bed the next day
and arranged Lis affairs for a hasty de-.
parture and that evening found him on
the way to Breckenridge
On the opening of court the next
morning, he found the prosecution rep.
resented by the County Attorney and
Messrs. E. G. Valentine and 6. l..
Mosbey of counsel, specially retained
for this was the biggest criminal case the
county has had for many a year, and the
injured girl was a relative of the towns
foremost citizen. The Indictment was
read and defendant given one hour in
which to plead. Then began the tug of
war. The prosecution had already in
sisted on immediate trial. Our lawyer
set himself to the closest inspection of
the Indictment. It took but single
reading to discover technical objection
and the closer he inspected it the more
patent became its errors, but he had no
authorities with him and of the attor.
neys present no one had the necessary
reports. What now, can he win by
force of argument educted from well
settled principles? It must be tried.
When court is raped to order, the news
having gone forth that an Afro-A merican
LAWYER was In town and was to defend
the great case. Standing room was at a
premium. McGhee arose amid the
silence, and summoning all his courage,
knowledge Of law and force of eloquence
to his command against fearful odds, he
entered demurrer, for half an hour he
argued his point with such earnestness
one would have thought life hung
upon the question involved Hon.
Judge Brown interrupted and: informed
him that he fully comprehended bis po.
sition aud asked the gentlemen of the
prosecution to state theirs, but alas they
had succumbed and confirmed their in.
ability to answer. Then the court en-.
tered an oader setting aside the indict-
ment, and the great case is won by
McGhee.
