NATIVES DEFIANT.


Some Samoans Again Assume "a Warlike
Attitude.
During the last week, says the
Apia paper Of Ist inst, rumors
have been ahoat as to the proposed
warlike intentions of the rebels of
Aana and Atua, who have
lately sent letter to Apia announc-
ing their intention of once more
starting the war, and Of re-occupy
ing the forts at Luatuanuu, lately
destroyed by the warships. This
information is by no means unex-
pected, and the action has, no doubt,
been fastened by the faSto in con-
nection with the visit of the Land
Commission to Lufilufi. When
the natives Of that district saw that
their resistance to the Commission
was allowed to pass, comparatively
without notice they, Of course, con-
cluded either that fear prevailed, or
that the guns of the warships would
not be turned against the present
defiant action.

AN EXTRAORDINARY PASTIME.
An Alphabet That They Considered
Pleasure to Learn.

W
A general arrived from st. Petersburg
in a garrison town i'll the interior of
Russia to hold an inspection of the
troops. After the review he stepped into
the officers messroom, where he noticed
on the counter row of bottles, to
which, instead of the usual labels, white
tickets, with single letter of the al
phabet on each, were affixed. The bottle
stood in rank and file, and in alphabet
ical order.
What does this mean?" the general
asked the. lieutenant who was showing
him round.
THAT is an officers charade, your
excellency, replied the officer, rather
embarrassed.
The general continued his inquiries
and elected the following information:
Each bottle contains a different kind
of liquor AT the meeting of the officers

| rieties i'll glass so that the initials
spell a name, and the older and more

VERY original idea, remarked the
general. "And are you able to make a
guess of that kind?'
IF it is your excellency's pleasure,
l will try" the lieutenant replied.
The general went to the counter and
mixed a glass, while the officer stood at
the other end of the room with his face
to the wall
"Now, guess what this means, said
the general as he handed the glass to
the officer.
The latter drank it at one gulp,
smacked his tongue and replied:
"That was Anna, yeur excellency. 1"
"Bravo' exclaimed the general. 1T
requires n lot of practice, eh?"
