One of the Igrealest curlosltics
among the domcSticatcd ANIMALS Of
Ccylon is n breed Of cattle known to
the zooogiSt as the "sacrcd running
oxen" They are the dwarrs Of the
whole OK family, the largest specimen
of the species never exceeding thirty

1891, which is still living and is be,

miles in a day and night without

anything concerning the origin OF
this peculiar breed Of cattle, ThcY
havo been known ON the island OF
Ccylon aud other Boddhislic coun'
tries for more than thousand years,
One story told to account Tor their

EditOpjOl C0ndOr,

1t is 50 seldom we discover such
pleasing candor as the following
editorial squb from western pa
per contains, that we cannot res
fran from giving it space in our
columns;
awe wish TO rctract the charge
made last week in this paper, that
Major Starkwrisht was never known
to Keep promise. The statement
reminded the gcntlcmln that in Il
speech during the last campaign he
promised to kick IT, down starr, and,
coming up to our Office, he redeem
ed his promise. In fact, he not
only kicked us down stairs, bat
h'lstcd us half way back as well; and
we verify believe, had he not run
uut Of breath, that hc would have
kicked us over the roof. We regret
having done Majr s., an Injustice,
aud chccrruIIy PRINT this acknowl~
cdgcmcnt The major is man Of

AN can kick like a brindtcd o."

1Ijgration to the South.
New and Important Movement oil
American Population.

| Jhe next great HoNChen |
of population that the world
is TO witness will be South
ward. The conditions are
nov all favorable. 1t has
required a quarter OF a cen
turv since the war to bring
about the changes that were
necessary to make the South
a thoroughly attractive
country for northern and
western farmers. All the
questions relating to possl-
bic race troubles had to be
settled; the predjudiccs en-
gendered on both sides by
the war had to die out, and
the fact that the south could
produce other things than
cotton had to be demonstra-
ted. The construction, after
the war, of railroads through
the west and northwest, by
the aid of enormous land
grants mace if absolutely
necessary that these roads
controlled as they were. by
the leading financial powers
of Europe and America,
should bend their energies
and unite the influences OF all
the financial forces concen-
trated in them to turn popu-
lation westward, The south
was in no condition to invite
immigration, even if it had
been in it's power to accom-
plish anything against such a
combination of forces as
were at work in behalf of
the west.
But a great change has
come and all the disadvanta-
ges under which the South
has labored are being re-
moved, During the last five
or ten years there have set
tied here and there all over
the south a few northern
and western farmers, whose
great success is now being
made known to all their
friends intheir former homes.
This is awakening a direct
interest in the south in all
parts of the West-an inter-
est such as could be aroused
in no other way.
From every section Of the
north, the west, and north
west, and even from Califor.
MIA, requests for information
about the south and its ad-
vantages for settlers are be-
ing received. Items of news
from several thousand south.
ern towns and villages from
Maryland to Texas pass be-
fore the writer every day,
The most striking feature in
this mass Of news--so pro.
nounced that it would i'm
press itself on the most casu-
al reader-is the number of
settlers reported from day
to day as locating in the
south.
This is entirely a new
thing, A year ago items of

neighbor?' Then came the
effective reply, contained III
the story of the man who
went down to Jericho and
fell among thieves.
That same question, WHO
is my neighbour is a very
puzzling one, even at the
present time, and the inter
pretatio1s put upon it are
almost as many as the sands
of the ocean, most of them
being made so as to conform
to our own personal conven-
fence or inclination.
But the Interpretation
placed upon it by Christ is
the only true one. and If we
walk in that path we cannot
fail to arrive at the prom
ised shelter. Our neighbor
is not necessarily the man
who lives in ease and luxury,
whose house is a palace and
whose garments are OF pur-
pie and fine linen; who has
everything that money can
buy, and who never knows
what it is to be cold or hun
CRY or cold or in distress;
who has many servants to
wait upon him, to anticipate
his slightest wish and to run
here and there at his nod or
bidding.
Our neighbor is not al
ways the man who has a big
bank account. ships on every
sea, cattle on a thousand hills
and stocks and bonds and
mortgages without a limit;
who basks in 4 scented sum-
mer; upon whose head no
winds blow harshly, and who
has no wounds that tester
with the craving years.
Our neighbor is not the
woman whose life is free
from every shade of care,
who dwells in the roseate
bowers Of love, and to whom
all the dainty and luxurious
ministers Of life are proud to
bow in homage; whose cheeks
are always radiant with
health and whose eyes never
dimmed with the tear Of des-
pair,
But our neighbor is the
man who, weak and worn,
tolls on from morn to night
for a bare pittance; who,
wan and feeble, goes stun
bling along through life;
who is often under the heel
of oppression, often half
starved; hollow-eved and
hollow checked; friendlcss,
often homeless, sick, and in
dire extremity Of grief; who
lies prone upon the rugged
ways Of life in dread agony
of soul and fearful pain of
body, and who is left to per
ish in his loneliness and grief
seemingly deserted by God
and man.
Our neighbor is the man
who is begging for a morsel
of bread to keep him alive;
who is shivering in his rags
and wretchedness; who is in
some hospital racked with
pain and PRAYING mutely
Tor death; who looks ont up
on the world through prison
bars, victim, perhaps, to the
crimes and sins and indifGer-
ence to the community, or to
the relentless absurdity of
the law that makes criminals
by the thousand and then
Furnishes them.
