The man eating tiger Il q creaturo
both cunning and audacious. One de-
scribed by Sir Samuel Baker, which be-
came the victim Of practical Joke, was
not the typical old and NANCY animal,
but powerful beast Of almost unexa1n-
pied ferocity. It was merciless high
wayman, which infested portion Of the
road, and frequently carried off the driv-
ers of bullock carts to feast upon them
in the jungle.
The natives feared to travel with sim
gle cart, and it became the custom to
pass the dreaded spot with several teams
together. This, however, proved o vain
precaution, for the tiger seized the driver
Of the hindmost cart and made away
with him in spite of the cries Of those
left behind.
At length Mr.. Duff, the superintend-
emit of police, provided two covered carts,
each drawn as usual by two bullocks.
The leading one was fitted with strong
bars of bamboo. which formed an inn
penetrable cage. In this the driver was
seated, and Mr.. Duff himself sat with his
face toward the rear, prepared to fire
| through the bars at the moment OF at
| tack.
Thiswould have been an exciting time
for the driver, but that individual was
personated by dummy stuffed with
straw, which might prove tempting to
the tigers eye but would hardly satisfy
his palate.
Slowly the carts moved along the
dreaded path. Suddenly there was a
roar and crash in the jungle. A large
tiger bounded forth, seized the dummy
driver and dragged him away. Nothing
could have been better planned, but one
chance, necessary to success, had been
forgotten. No sooner had the tiger
roared and bounded upon the cart than
the bullocks, terrified beyond control,
went full gallop across the country, fol-
lowed by the other team, all in the wild
est panic.
1t was impossible to fire, and after a
few seconds of desperate chariot racing
both carts capsized, and lay, with the
animals, in heap ON the ground. The
victorious man eater, victim of what he
must nave considered a practical joke,
was left to dry meal of straw stuffed
carter, instead OF the juicy native he
had expected to get

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE.

Gods of the DESERT Ye are they
We shun from childhoodis earliest breath;
Our passing joys are but your prey;
Yewait the hours from birth to death.
Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep,
Under warm trees where love was born,
see your naughty shadows creep,
And wait to mecx We there, forlorn.
Affair on ancient sands ye rest,
Carven in stone. where ancient thought
Wrapt ye in terrors-shapes unblest,
Dreadful, by might of ages wrought.
But not alone on Egypts shore
Sleeps the great desert: everywhere
Where gladness lived and lives no more,
There is desert of despair
Strange messengersl Your brows Of gloom
Haunt every creature born of earth;
Ye follow to the darkened room;
We watch the awful hour of birth.
Ye show the lovely wayside rose,
Whose antique grace Is born anew,
To eyes of grief. Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue.
Gods of the DESERT By your hand
Through the sad waters are we brought
Into a high and peaceful land
TO drink of fountains else unsought.

For he was having his hair cut on

NEW NAME FOR THE CIVIL VAR.

The Southern newspapers are just now con-
dieting an interesting warm-weather agitation
As TO the necessity for the adoption of new
name for the Civil War This agitation indi-
Gates a curious sensitiveness as to issues now
dead and buried, though its motive is quite
worthy and natural. There never was time
when better feeling existed between North ana
South. No Northerner can travel extensively on
the other side of Mason and Dixon's line with
out maryelling at the forbealance and good tenn
per of those to whom the great conflict brought
complete and immediate ruin. AS clear
headed speaker limited the other day IN the
Kentucky Constitutional Convention, the South
has arisen and brushed off its cobwebs. Slavery
as an institution has departed forever, ana the
very men who fought 50 strenuouSly Tor Its con-
tinuance twenty-five years ago would to-day
eagerly join hands with their whllom opponents
tn preyent its restoration. 10 is perhaps pre-
cisely for this reason that the Southern people
are inclined to resent epithets that are supposed
to carry an imputaton of dishonor on them
selves or their fathers.
No sane man nowadays dreams OF impugnlng
the good faith Of those who fought Ill defence
of slavery Their sacrifices could have been
inspired only by the deepest convicuon' ana
they are entitled to all the consideration that
implies. Tie contention that the term e" War
of the Rebellion" much used by Northern writ
ers and speakers, is mlsnomer, Is supported
by some reasonable arguments. The term it is
urged, does not convey a clear idea Of the prin-
ciples for which the Southern people fought.
Moreover il contains the same latent reproach
recognized in the general substitution Of the
word Confederate for " Rebel in all thought
full writings and addresses. The term war
of Secession" is rejected for the valid reason
that "none of the Southern people went into
the war merely to contend for the constitution
atty of secession "The Charleston News and
Courier" which leads in the agitation is welded
TO the term {" War for southern Independence"
and fails to see how this can properly be OBJ
jected to by Northern critics
We surmise that Northern critics will be con-
tent enough to accept any definition that salts

and then shot them under the walls OF the
cathedral. is not one which haS'ever been strong
! " favored by the United States Government
The practice of converting foreign legations
and consulates into asylums for political offend
ers has been discountenmced by the State De-
partment on the broad ground that it tends to
promote and encourage revolutionary move
ments and political intrgueS. In the Southern
republics this privilege Of asylum has been
grossly abused on many occasions and has rem
dered government unstable and insecure While
the State Department has uniformly taken this
view Of the question and diSclaimed willingness
to sanction the principle, it has not felt called
upon to instruct it's representatives, abroad to
deny temporary shelter TO victims of tyrannical
rule and mob violence. In Hayt the custom
of xtra-territorial asylum under foreign flags
has prevailed for many years, and has been
explicitly recognized by nearly every native
Government Under the standing instructions
of the Department American representatives
would not be encouraged TO offer protection to
political refugees, if they could avoid doing so
with dignity and propriety; but at the same
time under exceptional circumstances, the es-
tablished usage Of the other foreign Powers
would be considered a sufficient reason for har-
boring fugitives whose lives might be in danger.
In his assault upon the Mexican Consulate
IIyppolite wantonly disregarded the custom
which has prevailed in lIayti, and thereby af-
fronted the entire body of diplomatic repre-
sentatives. There was no attempt on his part
10 comply with any of the requirements of
Diplomatic intercourse with a friendly Power.

the refugees and killed them in tho plaza.
