Italy Is not so certain about
pushing her arms in the face of
Menelik as she was. The other
parties to tnat dreibund agreement
arc not willing to see that country
overrun by force of arms without
their consent, as it is opposed to
the convention signed between
them. Humbert Is urged to take
measures to meet the king of that
country in spirit Of Cancellation
and conclude a peace.

WED'SDAY, MARCH Is, 1896

There is no reason, not the slight
est, from the declarations Of Hon.
Jack Elgin, to conclude that he
will decline the nomination of the
populists of his congre ssional dis
trict if it is rendered him. In fact
his declaration is bid for the
nomination on the old ground that
it is always in order to decline an
honor that has not yet been ten
dered. Terrell knows better than
to accept just now, but Elgin says
his duty to the party debars him
from declining any position that
may be offered him. See!

There is an ancient and some
what fishy smell about that declar-
alton that a populist cannot seek
an office and when one is rendered
him cannot decline. There is a
string to the first declaration.
Spain is Of the opinion that the
United States has seen the error OF
her ways and will not take any
steps for Cuban recognition. Spain
has the faith that removes noun
tains and has it bad.
There has been no damage done
by the frost as yet below the
Austin line. Southwest Texas has
had narrow call, however, and
would like to see old winter shaken
out OF the lap offspring.
There is more moisture in the
soil OF Southwest Texas this st.
Patrick's season than has been
seen for many years. There are
water and grass, and moisture for
the roots OF the springing grain.
Good roads are means of saw
ing grace, and year or two since
the papers were full of the gospel
of that grace. OF late they are
dumb, politics and pie taking the
place Of good highways.

Next week the ball will open at
Austin, and there Is no reason to
conclude that there will be har-
monious convention. The ele-
ments are all there for a shindy of
the largest kind, with the colored
brother in the ascendant. The
tactics by which this condition OF
affairs has been brought about in
Texas is not creditable to the
party managers who have engin.
eered it. If this is the inevitable
when pie hunting is the principle
Of political action, the sooner the
pie plate is smashed the better.

The exposure to all sorts ant

The exposure to all sorts and
conditions of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in
the camps often produces severe
colds, which, II not promptly
checked, result in congestion or
pneumonia. Mr.. j. o. Davenport,
ex-manager Of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution
at Fort Bragg, Cal, says they sell
large quantities of Chsmberlain's
Cough Remedy, at the company's
store and that he has himself used
this remedy for a severe cold and
obtained immediate relief. This
medicine prevents any tendency Of
q cold toward pneumonia and in
sures a prompt recovery. For sale

1t is expected that the demo.
cratic journals will assaiI the Ohio

not good form for republican jour-
nails to assail it.

ing over the latter, with a fire partly lighting up the figures, until 8 couple more donkeys broke loose. They rush. ed into a mealie field and there the party heard the lion chasing first one donkey and then another, as excited and as little afraid as dog chasing rabbits in a field of barley. At every bound the lion emitted a subdued boo uff' as his forelegs struck the ground but the two did not go far. There was presently a loud scuffle. crack, and the sound of a heavy body falling; then all was still" The lion chased the third round the camp, killed and ate it, and was next day shot by an ingenious trap, made by tying rifle to posts, and fas- tening a string to the trigger, which the lion struck when revisiting its kill. ," The unsportsmanlike method of conn passing its death is excused by Captain Millais on the ground of necessity. This lion was ten feet long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail was in perfece health and immensely formid- able. But besides the wagon and kraal business" which occupied it at the time Of it's last attack, it had taken to kill ing women when game and native goats were scarce, and travelling teams had not yet come up country. Six women had been killed by it from one village.
 These South Africam lions have not the fine mane which they show in cap tivity and in pictures drawn by English artists to illustrate books on African sport. Dr. Livingstone noted the odd resemblance of the lions roar to that of the ostrich. Mir. Millais says that though the roar of the latter is not so loud, it has exactly the same tone. as that of the lion. But the ostrich always roars his best, the lion very seldom. This is partly because a "good" roar needs a great physical effort. The whole interior and muscles of mouth, throat, stomach and abdomen are, for the moment, converted into an organ of terrific sound, and the sound does make the earth tremble-or appear to do so But the attitude is not that usually drawn. Unless he roars lying down, when he puts his head up, like a dog barking, the lion "emits his first moan in any position, then draws in his neck and lowers his head with extend ed jaws, right down to his forepaws, as if about to be violently sick; while at the same time the back is arched, and the whole animal bears an appearance of concentrated strain This is Cap tain ,Millaiss' phonetic rendering of the sound, taken when listening to three lions roaring their best: "Moan--roar-- r-o-aed-roar--ro roar-Toa oar--gTunt-gru -grunt- -grunt (dying way)."-London Spectator
