The rapidity with which the dif.
ferent zebras have been extermina'
ted, owing to the advance of civiliza'
tion in South Africa, is shown by
reference to such works as that Of
Sir CORVALLIS Harris, written in
1S4), in which the author tells us
that the quagga was at the time
found in ''interminable herds, bands
OF many hundreds being frequently
seen, while he describe Burchell's
&c bra as congregating in herds OF
eighty or one hundred, and abound
ing to great extent; but now. after
the expiration of about fifty years,
the one species is extinct or practical
ly So while the other has been driven
much farther afeld and it's numbers
are yearly being reduced.
This authors description of the
common zebra is we'll worth repeat
ing, says the Saturday Review. He
says: Seeking the widest and most
sequestered spots, naughty troops
are exceedingly difficult to approach,
as we'll on account of their extreme
agility and heetness of loot as from
the abrupt and inaccessible nature
of their highland abode. Under the
special charge of q sentinel. so
posted OF some ad AGENT crag as to
command view of every avenue of
approach, the checkered herd who N
painted skins adorn' is to be view ID
peramb lating some rocky ledge, ON
which The rifle ball alone can reach
them. No sooner has the note Of
alarm been sounded by the vidette,
than, pricking their long ears, the
whole flock hurry forward to esce r
tain the nature of the approaching
danger, and, having gazed a moment
at the advancing hunter. whisking
their brindled tails aloft. helter-skel-
ter away they thunder. down craggy
precipices and over yawning rayines,
where no less agile foot could follow
them"
OF Burchell's zebra he says:
Fierce. strong, feet and surprising
ly beautiful, there is, perhaps, no
quadruped in the creation, not even
excepting the mountain zebra. more
splendidly attired or presenting
picture of more singularly attractive
beauty" Zeb as are by no means
amie bio animals. and, though many
of the stories told of their ferocity
are doubtless much exaggerated.
they have so far not proved them
selves anlenabie to domestication.

The wisdom and righteousness
OF putting army officers in charge
of ths Indians is demonstrated at
Darlington, where the Cheyennes
have notified the Government
that they will trust Captain Wood
son to nam4 terms for them.
An Indian trusts an army off
Ger because it is part of his creed
that brave man is honorable.
He trusts an officer because the
army has dealt squarely with him
in peace and war.
If the Indian Burea had been
administered by the army, fewer
fortunes would have been made
out of contracts, but we would have
had no Indian problem.-Republic

Omaha, Neb, March 2S.--In the hearing
of the Union Pacific and Gulf case before
Judges Caldwell and sanbo,n today. At
to.ney Hobson started to show that the
Union Pacific was not bankrupt road
but that on January l of the present year
it was in a nourishing condition. when
he began to quote figures to sustain his
contention, Judge Caldwell interrupted
and inquired why, If the facts were as
stated. Mr.. Hohson did not bring pro-
ceedings to have the receivership set
aside. The attorney replied that he was
not attacking the roceivershlp, but he
wished to show that the road was perfect
ly solvent, and therefore able to carry
out the contracts entered into with the
Gulf company. He asserted that there
had been no failure on the part OF the
Union Pacific to pay interest obligations
on the main Dne when due. He alleged
that when such default was imminent.
George Gould and russell Sage went
down into fund set aside for such pur-
poses and brought out enough to meet the
requirements OF the case. He asserted
that 1t was necessary Tor them to dig up
$4,000 from this fund January 10, to meet
the obligations due. He challenged the
receivers to show that they made a sim
gle report since their appointments as to
the condition of the trust imposed on
them.

General Passenger Agents Discuss the

The general passenger agents OF the
Texas lines met in Dallas yesterday for
the purpose of discussing the rates
granted for the meeting OF the united
Confederate veterans at Birmingham,
Ala, on the 95th and 18th of April.
The Texas passenger men conferred in
cidentally upon this matter some weeks
since and at that time made one fare
rate for the round "Trip TO Birmingham.
1t seems, however that this was not at
all satisfactory TO the old Confederate
soldiers, who wanted n rate OF ] cent a
