Not much stock is taken hereabouts
in the much. talked-of war with Great
Britain over the Venezuelan dispute. A
few days since a party of Confederate
veterans were discussing the subject,
one OF whom illustrated his position
by relating the following true story.
In one of the fights in which Stewart's e
cavalry was engaged piece of artillery
was about to fall in tho hands of the
enemy because the horses from some
cause could not bring it off the field.
detail was made from the Fifth Regi-
ment to bring off the piece by hand.
Among the party was Jim Rowe of
King and Queen, who, it seems, was
not particularly fond OF the music of
the minies, and who was a great STAN
merer. The enemy was advancing
rapidly and pouring "a steady fire,
which momentarily grew hotter and
hotter, into the party with the niece
of artillery,as they slowly dragged it
from the field. Jim Rowe became very
impatient, and stammered out: "P-y,
ply q d, boy, boys, less, loss,
let's tat k-e up sub i.p-t,
e-c-r-i p, an Inscription, pa pa,
pay for the damn thing, an,
an, and l.e-t, Let her go. y
The whole party of veterans agreed
that they would cheerfuly subscribe
and pay either England or Venezuela
for the territory in dispute and make
it a present to the other sooner than
have another war.

United States, Prof. Cook says, have
not, In the past, been properly selected,
and their descendants shirk work, as
a principle. The social distinctions
between Liberians and Afro Americans
are sharply drawn, and the two classes
are not on an equality. Education
OF the natives is difficult, but earnest
teachers are working arduously to over
come the natives aversion to advance
ment physical and mental. The
colonization of American negroes in
Liberia, Prof Cook finds, has been
impeded by other than natural difficult
tleH. loo many emigrants, he SAYS.
were seeking land where work would
be unknown, while the settling of Lii
beria requires the severest pioneer
work. Emigrants, the professor saws,
ought not to be sent out 10 Liberia
under misapprehension of the char
acter of the country and the work re-
quired for its development. They
should be carefully selected ana cared
for for six months after their arrival,
during which time they can become ac-
climatized and learn the country and
their work
In conclusion, Prof. Cook saws
"Could there he reasonable hope of
renewed activity in colonization and
consequent progress in Liberia, there
would be justification for the initiation
of many philanthropic and financial
undertakings which would greatly ac.
celerate advance, but unless there can
be practical success in the fundamental
business of colonization there is little
encouragement for other ventures. "

A Home-Niade Basket.

An exquisite bureau basket can be
created from the most unpromising
material. Take common chip basket
round and deep. If there be none in
the house few cents will procure one
at the shops. The handle should be at
least an inch broad and very high.
Such a basket often comes with fruit.
Cover it with howered silk. White
silk with pink blossoms is pretty
idea. Gather the silk softly around
the sides of the basket and puff it
daintily around the rim. Line the
basket with pink silk or silkoeen not
too bright shade. Cover the handle
with the tiowered material and buy a
small spray of artificial ample blossoms
to twine around the handle. 1t would
be hard to find prettier thing for
holiday fancy work or bureau odds and
ends.
Hope itself is happiness, and its
Illustrations, however frequent, are yet
less dreadful than its extinction. =
