shot taking effect in his head and
shoulder.
Captain Iylps was true and gal.
liant Confederate soldier, and since
the war has been one of Boosters
most prominent merchants and pro-
gressive farmers. He is leading,
popular, liberal and very useful Cit

out this parish sincerely regret this
dastardly attempt to take his life.
Capt. Lyles' wounds, though very
painful, are not considered danger

recover.

AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
A Ten-Year-Old Boys Description o
What He Saw.

The following is an extract from a
letter written to Miss Burbank, the
librarian of the Honolulu Library, by
her nephew, Holmes, who is ten years
old, the letter itself being both neatly
written and well spelt.
The first place that we went into
was the Washington State Building,
and saw the model of Washington
farm, in which was house, barn, a
pig pen, little brock which ran under
little bridge. A horses head was
sticking out IF barn window and a
man was standing in front of the barn
wiping his forehead with handker-
chief There were some pigs in the
| pg-pen, COW drinking out of little
trough into which the water kept run
ming. Behind the house two women
were washing clothes, a thrashing
machine, a Cook -house, on which Was
printed 'cook-house,' and other farm
machines. These were all models; it
cost $500.
Then we saw the skeleton of an
elephant, kind that used to inhabit
America. Then we saw a large stur-
geon, a bear, a mountain lion, deer and
several other Washington animals.
Then we saw single piece Of coal
which weighed 5o,a5o pounds and is
the largest piece of coal ever mined.
Then we went to the Wisconsin
building in which there were two statues
but no other exhibits Then we went
to the Art gallery and saw several fine
pictures. In Hollands exhibit there
was a picture called "Alone in the
World" worth $1,000, painted by Joseph
Israels. There were several pictures VI
cats and kittens, all painted by the
same woman, one of them, which was
two kittens playing, sold for $3.50. In
the Japanese exhibit in the Art gallery
there are several pictures of fishes, etc,
in silk. One of these is worth $40, 900
and model Of Japanese church
which is six or seven stories high, and
at every story wide caves project.
In the German exhibit is model Of
the Parliament house in Berlin, Q
model of a church made in wood, and
two very large pictures about ten feel
long and over five feet high. Other
pictures are; A picture of "rhe Battle
Of Orleans" "An October Festival ir
Munich" sour Saviour at the SICK
Bed" san Old Fisherman" "Pope
Leo" parade in the German Army
emperor Wilhelm H." "Prince BIS
marck," very large picture of Emperor

The first place we went into in thu
Midway Plaisance was a street il
Cairo; there are donkeys and camel
there, and | had a ride on both. Their,
was Soudanese and Nubian dane,
which was very good. Your lovinl
