BERLIN, Dec. 20.-News is received
from Uganda that the Mahomedans
have been expelled by Christians. Se-
we're fighting is now inevitable between
the Christians and Mahomedans, and
the encounter will probably take place
at Myoro. 1t is believed there will be
renewed conflicts between the Protest
ants and Catholics. owing to the fact
that the former have broken the agree
ment with the Catholics and depopu-
lated the provinces of Kama and Biven-
kula, large portion of whose popula-
tions were Catholic. The Protestants
are also said to have declared vengeance
on the native converts to Catholicism,
and it is believed peace can only be se-
cured by the permanent expulsion of
Mahomedan Bagandas and the separa-
tion of the Catholic aud Protestant
spheres by Nile tributaries.

A DREAM.

Idrealnt that over the winter world
The winter winds were signing,
And intfthe orioles empty nest
The fakes of snow were flying.
The viFes along the garden wall
WITH crystal ice were cleaning,
And In the garden, dull and bare,
The summer flowers were dreaming.
The snow lay deep over withered grass,
The skies were cold and gray,
And slowly the dreary night came On
To end the weary day.
Invoke. High up In the orchard boughs
A hundred birds were singing,
And in the birch-trees' pleasant shade
The orioles nests were swinging.
Along the river, tall and green
Isaw the rushes growing,
And daisy petals white as snow
Among the grasses showing.
The flowers held the sunshine bright,
The breezes were at play,
And swiftly the dreamy night came on
To end the happy day.

A warrant was sworn out, but the Off.
Ger failed to find Mr.. Reski. Vago in.
formed Judge Coleman that Reski was

himself. Vago went out with him and
pointed out the man wanted and then
skipped out.
The Judge called Reski outside and
told him he had warrant for his arrest.
In response the Hungarian pulled out a
pistol, but before he could use it he re-
ceived a "habeas corpus" under the ear,
was disarmed and marched up to court
in d~ouble-quick time. AS they were
going up the stairs which led to the
court Reski pulled another pistol, a

knocking him down, took the second
gun away from him, and besides Civ
ing him a good humping, read him a
lecture on the evils of attempting to
obstruct the scourse of justice, after
which he was escorted to the court
room, his case set for trial and then
marched down to the city jail. Upon
being searched @ belt of cartridges and
an eight-inch dirk were taken from
him, in addition to the two pistols
secured by the judge.
