TRIED THE COON AND THE NEGRO


Distinction in the Race Made by a Col
ored Man.
Many OF the sayings and doings Of the
Southern negro, that find their way into
print, may be apocryphal. but enough are
known to be true to make good his claim
to humor A gentleman discussing coon
hunting relates an incident In Forest and
Stream that illustrates this characteristic
drollery.
The party, consisting OF hunters. dogs.
axes and torches galore. had been hunting
for good part of the night without any
luck whatever. Finally the dogs freed a
coon. 1t would take some time to fell so
large a tree. and one of the negroes volun-
teered to climb it and ascertain the where
abouts of the coon.
All agreed to this, and sat around to
await developments. Soon after the negro
had disappeared among the branches, pc
culiar sound was heard from the top of the
tree 1t was kind of mixture OF negro
and coon dialect Some one ventured the
remark:
bill. have you got that coon?"
Eyes, sah," was the reply. Use got dis
here coon; but I wish you'd send some o.
dem darkies up here TO help me turn him
loose"

THE TERRoR's GUNS
Throw a Whole Foundry at Single
Discharge

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. j.,
Nov. 20.-The monitor Terror of the
United States navy did yesterday what
no ship in the United States navy ever
did. She fired solid shot at sea from her
four 10-inch guns in one volley. All the
guns went off as one piece. They were
fired by electricity from the bridge.
Nearly 1000 pounds of powder was
burned in doing it and a ton of metal
was hurled into the deep. That volley
represented $500 worth Of material de-
stroyed. The recoil of the four guns
represented no less than $4,000 foot tons.
and yet the Terror showed scarcely
tremor as the guns plunged back from
the discharge and then slid into their
places. That same energy would have
lifted one ton $4,000 feet into the air.
THAT reveals the possibility of such
craft as the Terror, whose largest guns
are of the 10-inch size 1t is because of
the fact that the Terror may mark an
other distinct advance in naval affairs
by Americans that this trial trip was
of unusual significance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-L. J.
Reinhart a carpenter of this city, II
tired of carrying on hand to mouth ex-
isterce in America, and is trying to raise
a body of men to undertake a novel COL
onization scheme. His plan is to buy
vessel, equip it and sail to the st. John
or Hermit islands in the South Pacific
ocean. where no inhabitants are left but
dusky bellies, whose husbands and
brothers have been killed by cannibal
wars or taken away by conscienceless
blackbirders.
CaptBergman of the American steam
er Bonanza recently sent the news to
this city of the peculiar state Of affairs
on the Hermit islands He said thai his
ship was blown out if it's course and he
anchored one day close to one Of tho
islands. He was astonished to see none
but women on the coral reef, for 1t was
hardly more than that. The women
swan like mermaids to the ship. They
told of the condition of affairs on the
island. and wanted the captain.to leave
some of the sailors. They said they
would heap upon them all the llonors Of
darky royalty If they would but take
their residence among them.
The natives of the island have alwayp
been known as cannibals, but sailors
mentioned this as a reason why the Of
fer was reluctantly declined But the
visitors assured them that their day. of
human flesh eating were over. Men
were too scarce to be sacrificed in any
such vulgar way
Reinhart declares that 1t is not the
report of the husbandless women that
has moved him to project this enter
prise. He says it is dissatisfaction with
the condition Of the labor world and the
desire to lead peaceful existence VITA
out having to struggle. day and night for
bread and butter. He wants to form a
republic on cooperative lines. He says
as it is in the South seas, the islands sup
port the natives with very little work.
BY combining forces and pooling inter-
ests he believes this proposed band can
have all the comforts of life with but lit
tie labor.
The scheme is for fifty men to put up
$25 each. With this money he expects
TO buy a schooner and provision her
Tor the voyage and at least years stay
on whatever island it may be decided to
settle upon. On first landing they will
pulld fort and take possession of the
tillable ground. With them they will
take seeds and fruit trees, and Reinhart
says in few years they ought to be ex-
porting great quantities of South sea
island products.
