HUMAN AMPHlBIANS.

| Natives of Honduras Who are at Eome
on Land or in the Water.
1.-THE Caribs of British Honduras, %
said Frank Fisher, ARE peculiar peO-
pie, and, unlike other natives Of the
tropics, do not mingle with the whites,
holding aloof, for that matter, from
the other natives.
Originally from Africa, they still
maintain their tribal relations and sim
gular customs. Physically they are a
tine race, being coal-black and very
muscular. Their language is harsh and
buttural, its vocabulary consisting Of
only about seven hundred words. They
can count up to three in their own
tongue, and above that number count
in French 1t is almost impossible to
learn their language. They are no.
madic and go from place to place along
the coast Some families have half d
dozen homes in as many villages. Some
Of the young women are comparatively
good looking, and all have most
graceful and erect carriage They car
ry water pitchers on their heads very
skilfully.
1.-The women do all the work and
carry burdens on their backs that
would crack the vertebrae of strong
white man. The men are idlers. The
women have no standing in the family
relations, and the wife does not eat
with her husband, nor do any Of the
females with the men. They are as
much at home in the water as on land,
and the women paddle the dugout Ca
noes. The babies learn to swim al
most before they can walk. AS race
they are wonderfully cleanly, bathing
several times day, and when the
mornings work is over they are very
neat in their scant attire.
"They are very filial, however, and
when one goes fishing the first fish
caught is for the grandfather, the next
for the father and so on down until
the fisherman comes to himself. They
will not sell their fish to the whites or
other natives until their own families
are supplied. In brief, they are one of
the few races in the world who have
refused to intermingle with other peo-
pie.
British Honduras is crown colony,
and of it's 10000 population there are
about 800 whites, mainly English.

are mainly from Kentucky, and it is a
prosperous colony. The colony is
healthful for a tropical country, and
there has not been q case of yellow
fever in several years. The principal
product is mahogany, and it will be
years before the forests are exhausted.
Great quantities Of logwood are also
shipped to Europe. We ship only
bananas and plaintains to the United
States, shipping last year 72S,OO0
punches of bananas to New Orleans.
The great problem with us is labor,
and we import natives from the West
Indies. We need immigration, and Sir
Arthur Maloney, the Governor, is a
very progressive man, and is doing
much to bring us to the notice of the
world. We have no railroads beyond
tramway drawn by mules, penetrat-
ing the plantations for about six miles.
There is not a telegraph instrument or
line in the province, and only short
telephone line between Government
buildings. We have no money Of our
own, but use the silver Of surrounding
republics, which is so deprecated that
SIS in American money is equal to $3.50
of the money in USE"

AN EXTRA SESSION.


President Cleveland Summons Congress
Co Meet on August 4. 4sR
Washington, ID. c., July LAS,
evening, before taking his departure
for Buzzard's Bay Mass, where, he
will spend three weeks at his summer
residence, President Cleveland issued
the following proclamation:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, ID. c., June 80, 1893.
Whereas, The distrust and apprehen.
sion concerning the financial situation
which prevaded all business circles
have already caused great loss and
damage to our people and threaten to
cripple our merchants, stop the wheels
of manufacture, bring distress and pri-
vation to our farmers and withhold
from our workingmen the wage OF
labor; and,
Whereas, The present perilous con-
dition LIS largely the result Of fnan-
cial policy which the executive branch
Of the Government finds embodied In
unwise laws which must be executed
until repealed by Congress;
Now, therefore, /, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, In per-
formance of q constitutional duty, do
by this proclamation declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the
convening Of both houses Of Congress
of the United States at the Capitol, In
the city Of Washington, on the 7th day
of August next, at IL o'clock noon, to
the end that the people may be relieV-
ed through legislation from present
and impending danger and distress.
ALI those entitled to act as members
OF the Fifty third Congress are requir-
ed to take notice of this proclamation
and attend at the time and place above
stated.
Given under my hand and the seal
OF the United States, at the city
of Washington, on the thirtieth
day Of June, In the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-three, AID Of the indie
pendence of the United States the
one hundredth and seventeenth.
Grover Cleveland.
The announcement was an entire
surprise, as the general belief was that
Congress would not be assembled be-
fore the first or middle Of September.
Nearly all of the Congressman In town
approve of the Presidents action.
They say that the duty Of restoring
financial confidence devolyes upon
Congress, and that the sooner 1t sets
about the work the better

NEW YORK AT GETTYSBURG.
Dedication of the Empire States Monu

Dedication of the Empire States Monu-
b ment to Its Heroes.
The splendid monument erected by
the State Of New York in honor OF
those of its sons who were slain in the
battle of Gettysburg was dedicated

was rendered on Culp's Hill by his
brigade to Major-Gen. George 5.

platform were Governor Flower, or
New York, and staff; Gen. Daniel %.
Sickles, Gen. Henry w. Slocum, Col:

not fifty yards from where he sat, ana
others. After prayer by Rev. y. w:
Severson, Of the One Hundred ana
Thirty-seventh New York volunteers,
the veterans, Of whom there were
more than a thousand standing ABOUT,
sang America" Then Gen. Avery IN
troduced Gen. Slocum, who made
lengthy speech, in which he gave an
account of the battle. Gen. Slocum
paid particular attention to the proml-
nent and honorable part taken by the
soldiers of the Empire State. In this
connection he said: New York's part
on the field Of Gettysburg Is known to
all. Of the Union army on this field
about 80 per cent were New York
men; of the killed and wounded more
than 80 per cent were New Workers" J"
When Gen. Slocum finished the veter-
ans gave him three cheers. Then Gen.
Greene arose to reply. Many OF the
veterans had not seen him since the
close of the war, and the hero OF
Culp's Hill was cheered again and
again. After Gen. Greene had finished
speaking Governor Flower was intro
duced by Gen. Sickles, who said:
There has been q discussion for
long time as to what should be the
national flower. We have settled that
In New York State. Our Flower is
daisy and here he is" Governor Flow
er was greeted with laughter and
cheers. He spoke at considerable
length, and, in part, said: "This i'm
pressive scene is the homage which a
great State renders to it's martyr sons.
The bidding of 100000 people has
sent us here to dedicate their token
Of love to the memory of their soldier
dead. You, comrades, of all the iv-
ing, are most deserving to be here to-
day. The great State which I have
the honor to represent on this oeca-
sion, and which we are both proud to
call our home, delights to pay this
mark of respect and appreciation to
your services. To you, equally with
those who sleep around us, belongs
the praise and gratitude Of your State
and nation"

A pretty little French woman went
into one Of the newspaper offices last
Tuesday and, with positive air, passed
an advertisement through the window.
The clerk looked at it moment,
smiled and then said:
'The English is little bit awkward,
miss. Would you like to make any
changes?".
The pretty little woman tossed her
head. mo, m'sieur, link I knows

The clerk smiled again "All right"

Guards for Gov. Tillman.

The operation of the new liquor law
in South Carolina, which makes the
State the dispenser of drinking fluids,
was begun in the midst of some trepi-
dation on the part of the Governor,
his feeling in this respect being due
to certain threats which came to him
relative to bis own safety. In view Of
these circumstances Governor Tillman
had the Executive Mansion guarded
Friday night by number of guards
from the penitentiary. There were no
developments and the rumors could
not be traced to any authentic source.
AS result Of the law there has been
sudden movement In the jug busi-
ness, these articles being seen at many
railroad stations bearing all sorts Of
labels from cologne to vinegar and
cholera mixture.

TRUTH AND BEAUTY,

Who sought it east who sought it west,
In city streets and lonely haunts,
And died unprospered In the quest.
Another, who for Beauty lived,
For Beauty bartered all beside,
And In the evening of bis days
For Beauty, as was ut, he died.
And many a time between them both
Contention on the point was long;
One Truths brave knight in veal and woe,
The other Beauty's champion strong.
But when they crossed the flood Of death,
The eternal, all-revealing flame
Flashed on their souls, and then knew they
That Truth and Beauty are the same.

Steamer Corsica ColIides With .
Schooner ON Lake Michigan.
ALPENA, Mich, June 5.-The steel
steamer Corsica collided with an un-
known schooner Is miles from Thunder
Bay island at daybreak in a fog. The
schooner was cut in two and went to
the bottom instantly. Her entire crew
were lost. The Corsica had no time to
wait for the rescue of any survivors
who might be floating around in the
mass Of wreckage, as her bow was stove
in and the water was pouring in faster
than her pumps could throw it ont.
The Corsica was run on the beach in
Thunder bay just below Osinikes Her
bows are all crushed in for a consider
able distance. @
The mate of the cruiser, who was in
charge ut the time OF the collision, says
that the Corsica did not run into the
schooner, but that the schooner ran
into the Corsica. The moment they
struck be says that the engines were re-
versed and that the schooner disap-
peared in an instant. Her disappear
ance was so sudden that not even her
name, color or size could be made out
by those on the steamer.
