how many Zulus would be killed before

At first I took no notice OF him beyond
scowling, but presently, goaded into an

Hc only laughed aloud. "Oh! white

So that treachcrous villain lncaba-

chief OF the Impi, gray-haircd man
named Sususa. held up his assegal, and
instantly there was silence. Then he
spoke TO some indunas who stood near
him. Instantly they ran to the right
and left down the first line, saying
word to the captain of each company as
they passed him. Presently they were
at the respective ends of the line, and
simultaneously held up their spears. AS
they did so, with an awful roar Of 'Bu-

entire line, numbering nearly a thousand
men, bounded forward like buck startled

While angling in secluded glen the
writer some days ago witnessed a Curl

of foxes, took IL into his head TO rear
one as pet. He did SO, and the ami

TO a miracle. They work very much in
the same way as two lurchers. The
collie goes out and hunts the rabbits
among the fern and heather of the
braes, or the rushes and long grasses
of the stacks, while Reynard all the
time sneal<s about the holes and picks
them up as they come in. They under
stand their respective parts perfectly.

his business to kill, and the fox Is

Sir Frederick Pollock, chief baron of
the English court OF the exchequer,
like a once renowned justice of the
supreme court, took a nap pretty regu-
larly about midday. His waking was
comical. For when his forty winlxs"
ended he would start to seize pen,
and with fmpertnrbable gravity say
TO the arguing counsel: what page
was your last citation?' The harmless
deceit was humored by the bar, and
only once did IL provoke tartncss.
This came when an old sergeant re-
torted: "Did your lordship refer to the
last citation made before your lord
ship gave Somnns new trial. or the
citation l made when your lordship
produced a gap in my argument?"
Nothing net.led. Baron Pollock i'm
perturbably answered; ''The one inn

have future fully as picturesque as its
past. IL is no secret that the reform
element, always in dread of the tiger,
views the asccndancy of Smyth and his
policy with more alarm than any deyel-
opmcnt has yet occaBioncd.
"Tammany, at least" said the new
grand sachem, in reply to questions as
to the future OF the great organization,
"can now offer practical test of the
truth of the chief charge brought
against it. You know the organization
has been pronounced n mere combine
ton of otiiceholders and patronage
seekers, the strength OF which was
wholly due to control over the public
treasury. Well, Tammany is out of
Office, and certainly owes nothing to
the powers that be. If the organiza-
tion holds its own, our friends, the enc.
my, must find new reason for the ex-
istence of Tammany strength"
DO You expect Tammany to return
to power very soon?n
Really. predictions are SO easy to
make and are nothing but ones opin-
ions stated us facts. Tammany's OBJ
ject is to be as much in touch with the
people as possible-thc popular mouth
piece. If Tammany has made mis-
takes, let it take the consequences. If.
on the contrary, the organization
makes itself recognized as an instru-
ment OF popular government, If it gives
welcome to all worthy clements and
comes to be recognized as power for
good, l do not see how it is possible
for Tammany to fail to return to
power"
What do Tammany men think Of

come, and visitors, as rule, pet her to
her hearts satisfaction. Still she
shows her loyalty to her mistress by
many fcllne felicities. One day n
young man came for short visit He
was nm inveterate tease. As there was
no one else for victim, he took Bios
som il hand, in spite Of pleadings and
protcstauons. Her cars were greeted
with the strange terms: "Old Rascal"
"Scapegrace. Tramp" and hundred
names, till the sstonished cat did not
know what had come to her. Her
pretty ways disappeared, she fled from
his approach and hid whenever she
could till he was out of the house. One
morning She was missing for some
hours, and was not to be found in any
OF her hiding places. A loud cry from,
the chambormnid revealed her whero-
abouts. Blossom had revenged herself
on the visitors nightshlrt, which Law
iii tattsrs on the 1oor Pussy was
scolded and every one was cautioned
to keep tho door shut. In vain! The
cat would find her way in and hide till
the chambermaid was through for the
day, and then the claws went to work,
irst on the visitors own clothes if any
could be found and then on the pillow

her feelings, but she would have none
of him, and he was glad to cut short
his visit Blossom quickly recovered
