New York, March l4th.-The London
''Daily ChrouicIe'', in an editorial on the Blue
Book regarding the Venezuela question, ex-
presses the opinion that it is a good
enough defence to Euglishmen of Lord Sails
bury's refusal to arbitrate, but that as a final
statement of England's case it is utterly
unworthy of the subject or OCCASION
The 'DailyNews', 'MorningPost' and the
est. James Gazette condemn the extremity
of the remarks made by the Chronicle,
although agreeing that some minor errors
should be explained, for example, the dis
crepancy between the documents cited aud
the argument based upon them.
In the House of Commons the Under Sc
cretary Of State for Foreign Affairs Stated that
Her Majesty's Government were ignorant
regarding a Washington telegram asserting
that President Cleveland and Sir Julian
Pauneefote had settled the British Guiana
boundary dispute, but, nevertheless, ministe-
rial circles credit the report that Lord Sails
bury has agreed upon an AngIo-American
commission being appointed.
The First Lord of the Treasury stated, in
reply to a question, that Spain has the right
to commission privateers against the United
States, but at same time thought they would
not do SO.
The Under Secretary of State for War, also
replying to a question, announced that any
British officers attached to the militia vol
unteering assistance to Spain against the
United States were liable to prosecution.
Continental news reports that as "a sequel
to the news published last Saturday, the
Berlin correspondent Of the Daily News now
telegraphs that the continuity of the Triple
Alliance is assured.
The Vienna correspondent of the Standard
states that the errand of Count Goluchowski
is to secure England's adhesion to the Triple
Alliance. also that the Emperor Francis will
endeavour to reconcile England and Germany
when the meeting between Queen Victoria
and the Kaiser takes place.
The Times reports that China has signed
an Auglo-German contract for the loan of
sixteen million pounds sterling.
The same paper publishes a despatch from
Cairo stating that it is reported Egyptian
troops will occupy Dongola, and in an edito-
rial on the subject favours this step as it will
help Italy.

A CLEVER HAWK.

A description of n most remark
able hawk has been sent frem Ireland.
A farmer in the south Of the country
has herd of seventy-five cows, which
have to be sent daily to some outlying
common land at some distance from
the farmhouse. His son, lad of
about sixteen, n year or two since
took hawks nest with young ones
in it, killing the parent birds, who
had been flying off with his fathers
reared, making a great pet of it as it
grew up, and every day for n con.
siderable time he took it with him
when he went to fetch the cows.
A short time since the boy injured
his foot so that he could not walk.
His father was absent, and so it came
about that no one was able to go for
the herd. What was the surprise OF
the boy and his mother to see the
cows come into the yard not much
after the usual time. The fact was
that the hawk had gone alone, and
had succeeded in bringing up the
whole herd unaided.
The next night Mr. Hawks methods
we're observed. He first of all gath.
cred his herd together in the most
skilful way and then started them of
for the farm. When COW loitered
he flew at it fiercely, and if it refused
to quicken its steps he struck it with
his great wings. When his herd was
in good order he perched himself with
great assurance on the horn OF the
last COW.
Since then the hawk has always
been sent for the. cows at 8 o'clock,
and he is seldom behind time in bring
ing them up. His fame has spread
abroad, and many people have visited
the farm to see him perform his clever
task.

A STRANGE RABBIT FREAK.

Miss Bertrand, young Indy living
in Tocaloma, CAL, is the owner of a
rabbit that differs from any other rab-
bit mentioned in zoology. This par
ticular bunnie has but one ear, and
that one is located directly on the top
of its head and is about twice as large
as it ought to be.
Miss Bertrand's father is hotel
proprietor, and the odd-looking rab.
bit is great pet around the hostelry.
According to the San Francisco Call,
the rabbit must have known that he
was different from other rabbits and
therefore entitled to some considera.
tion, for he approached the hotel as il
desirous Of being captured.
When chased he did not run away,
but hid in clump of bushes and re.
mained there until his captor picked
him up. Since then he has become
very tame, but at no time did the lit
tie fellow evince any great amount Of
fear.
The body of the rabbit is Just like
that of any other cotton.tail, and SO
is his head. The fur is the same, and
the animal seems to be about the size
OF other members OF the same species.
But he has only one ear. and this
gives him an uncanny appearance.
He has been dubbed the "Unicorn
Rabbit" and the solitary ear gives
him ferocious aspect.
While bunnie has but one outer ear
there seem to be two orifices. The
openings are at the sides of the ear
aud not far from the usual places.
From around them the skin grows
towards the centre of the head, where
it unites and forms the single large
ear. The opening or hollow part OF
this ear is turned backward instead of
to the sides, as is usual with rabbits
ears.
The rabbit does not seem to be an
noyed by having but one ear. He hops
about the hotel as contented ar any
rabbit could be. and when picked up
and petted seems to bo delighted st
receiving tho attention.

all our theory of donkey riding to be
incorrect, and IL is significant that,
though the donkey could kick of the
riding master, boots and breeches and
all, it entirely failed to shake Joe
from his seat by any of its antics.
But then Joe's method was entirely
different from that of the riding
masters. 1t was, indeed, 30 simple
as scarcely to deserve the name OF
method, being contained in the single
precept that you should sit MS near the
tail of the animal ns possible. That
was the sum total OF his theory OF
donkey riding, and IL worked to per-
fcction in practice. Our uncle, who
was in the navy, explained the me-
chanics of Joe's style of riding nauti-
cally. ''It's as plain ns pikestaiI,"
said he, "that when you've got all the
weight in the stern the craft isn't
likely to go down by the head."--

A DOG WHO RINGS A FOG BELL.

DOG WHO RINGS A FOG BELL.
There may be and doubtless are
many dogs that board at the various
light stations and do good work in
helping the keepers to while away the
long hours of the night, but this dog
earns his salary by ringing the fog
bell whenever occasion requires such
a thing. The dog belongs at Wood
Island, off Biddcford Pool, and is the
constant companion of the keepers.
He has been there for long time,
and is we'll acquainted with the ways
OF that small part of the world. The
keeper is modest man, aud does not
do a great deal of boasting of the
prowess of his dog because it would
be sort of reflection on his own skill
as trainer. The dogs capabilities
in his peculiar line we're discovered
one day last September when on m
excursion. Captain Oliver and 200
passengers on the steamer Forest
Queen witnessed the following: AS the
island was approached three blasts in
salute were given by the steamer. In
reply the keeper OF the light took the
bell rope, which was kept hung up out
Of the reach of the dog, aud handed
it to the waiting animal. The dog
seized the end of the rope and pulled
away at it and the bell sounded its
salute. Portland (Me. ARGUS.
