To the regular troops of any civilized

armed with antiquated. ilint-lock, smooth
bore muskets, G or feet slong, pistols Of
equally ancient pattern and sabers. One
cowboy, with Winchester, n pair of
good revolvefs and a horse fleet enough
to keep him from being overwhelmed by
numbers, would be more than a match
for dozen of them They are brave
enough In their ferocious, brutal way,
but the worthlesshess of their weapons
renders them sceff to any organized
body Of troops. During the war of 1876,
one regiment of Russian foot drove before

fighting purposes, they are valuable only
when murder and pillage are to be done.

small consequence.
In actual warfare, therefore, with any
civilized power, Turkey must rely on tho
infantry md artillery, tho effective force
of these two arms being less than 400,-
600 men, Such force as this could offer
a strong protest to the partition Of tho
Turkish empire, but even after It's re-

not be at an end, for boforo the division

pretty story of affection between
a cat and a rat comes from the shores
of Lake Ontario by way of the New
York World. A farmer. who is also n
shopkeeper found n nest of rats in
pulling down an old shed, and one of
two baby rats stole into pocket of his
coat 1t seemed so helpless and trust
full that he could not bear to kill if.
and kept it as pet, feeding it with
meat and cheese, which it took from
his hand.
Its life was in constant danger from
the cat, and to save it he put it into "A
large wire cage. BY and by the cat
grew accustomed to it's presence, and
finally the farmer one day put the eat
also into the cage. 1t made one or
two half-heartcd attempts to catch the
rat, and then lay down and went to
sleep.
The upshot of the matter was that the
two animals became fast friends. Now
they fairly live together. BY day they
wander in company about the house
ana shop, or lie side by side in the show
window, where the strange sight at
tracts much attention.
They are very jealous of each other.
If any one pets the cat, the rat runs
about squeaking with anger. If the
rat is the favored one, the cat in its
turn bristles and complains. If they
get separated for any great length of
time they are sure to be soon looking
for each other, and sometimes when
they meet they fairly dance for Joy.

He chung to the timber for two days
and two nights, and his breast is COW
cred with scars, caused by constant
friction against the wood. He re-
ports that the Dervishes are building
small defenses at Kerma, and that the
steamer from which he escaped, is in
so dilapidated a condition that she
can only move at half speed. He
further states that no achievements
have arrived at Dongola, from On
durham, but that the Dervishes have
collected a considerable number of the
native population, who will probably
desert whenever they get a chance.
At any rate they are all full of disaf-

Savannah, Ca, Aug. 27.-Willis w.
Billiard was shot at Pembroke, a
small station about fifty mile from
Savannah, Saturday night, by e. v.
Harvey, both prominent young men
of that community. Billiard threat
ened to kill Tom Fair, a negro in Har-
vey's employ. He had drawn his pis-
tol on Fair, and was cursing him in a
loud excited manner. Harvey came
into the crowd and Ballard turned his
wrath on him, asking him what he had
to do with it.
Harvey told Billiard he had nothing
to do it with except that the negro
was one of his hands, and he started
to go. Billiard called him back, pre-
senting his pistol. Harvey walked
rapidly on, Billiard following him,
cursing and threatening him, and
finally got in front of him, presenting
his pistol and taking hold of him.
Billiard attempted to shoot, but Har-
vey caught the pistol, the hammer
MASKING his thumb.
Harvey called for help and Glenn
Hall, another young man, caught Bull
lard. The pistol was discharged in
the scuffie and Hall was wounded in
the hand. Harvey called again for
help, when Billiards. brother-in-law
named Brown, ran up and on order of
Bulard tried to cut Harvey. Harvey
then drew his own pistol and fired, the
ball taking effect just below Bull
lard'S left eye killing him instantly.
The coroner held an inquest immedi-
diately and exonerated Harvey. Bull
lard was regarded as dangerous
character. He went to Pembroke
several years ago from South Caro-
lima. He leaves wife and two
small children.
