Lettering on a Sign Board Supposed to Be Transferred on a Calf's Liver. Kenney, Ala, Dec. 14.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-Quite a freak" is on ex- hibition at the drug store of Dr. J. G. Col lins, namely, a calf's liver, covered with letters, words and figures.
 The calf belonged to A. M. Foster, a farmer living several miles from town and when he killed it for beef a few days since he at once discovered that the liver was something remarkable. The words and figures are well made, and seem to be under the skin, nor will water or alcohol remove them. These are the marks:

 One gentleman has advanced the theory that it was caused by lightning, saying that the calf was in all probability stand ing not far from a tree having a sign board of some description fastened to it, and that when the lightning struck the sign 1t also shocked the calf and left the impress on the liver. We cannot give a solution to the mystery, but do know that it is marked g here described. Rev Mir. Andrews, of New Market, Ala, has been conducting a very sue cessful meeting at the M. F. church for the past ten days, and notwithstanding the busy season, the attendance has been large.

PEACEFUL BY NATURE.

The Egyptian Abhors Warfare. ~ Did
HIS Fathers Before Him.
The ordinary Egyptian is by instinct
utterly opposed to military life. The
last thing he wants to do in the world is
to fight. He hates the pomp and cir
cumstance of glorious war, and nothing
in his nature is appealed to by the idea
of strife and combat.
He is q good-tempered, pleasure-lov-
ing man, and for 5000 years his ances-
tors before him have loathed the clash
of steel. Go back as far as you like in
Egyptian history and you will never
find trace of the Viking spirit in the
inhabitants of the Nile valley. The sue
cessful wars of the Pharaohs were
,waged by mercenaries, and the papyri
show that the military calling was
always described as pure evil. The rec
ords show little delights in battle, but
plenty Of picturesque contrasts between
the horrible miseries endured by the
soldier in the field and the pleasant,
snug life of the civilian tribe.
The spirit Of the old Dane who when
he felt death approaching put on his
.armor, because he would not die like a
COW in his house, has no echo in the
past OF in the present OF the true
Egyptian.

WHALE ON a CABLE.
The Insulation Damaged by tho Floundss.
ing Of the Big Fish.

ing Of the Big Fish.
Submarine cables are usually i'm
bedded in the Shiny bottom of the
ocean, but at certain points they hang
like wire bridges over deep submarine
valleys, so that whales and other large
inhabitants of the deep may become
dangerous to the cable. Once in awhile
it is the cable that becomes dangerous
to the whales, as recently shown in an
accident to the western Brazilian
cable. There was some trouble with
the wire, and after many futile efforts
the seat of the trouble was discovered
&c miles north of Santa Catharina. The
repair ship Viking was sent to repair
the damage, and began to take up the
cable near where the seat of trouble
had been located. After the cable
proper had been grappled and was
taken up on the large drums provided
for the purpose it was found that it
f]oated very much easier and was moro
buoyant than was ordinarily the case.
The reason was discovered when in q
loop of the cable the carcass of a whale
Of more than go feet in length came up
with it. It appears that the whale
had become caught under the cable,
and, not being able to lift it nor to 60
forward or back, it suffocated, since
It could no more rise to the surface. BY
its last spasms or attempts to free it,
self the whale had damaged the cable
30 that the insulation was rubbed of
and the wire became useless. This is
the third case Of the kind, since q SIM
liar case once happened in the Persian
gulf and another on the Peruvian coast.
