JUDGED people, Ho has overdone the

Ever since the defeat of Gen. Bsr&

the 1000 prisoners that were quartereC
i'll the different towns of Abyssnia
Now that the treaty of peace has been

informed that they are soon to be
transported to Italy, many are said to
have signified their desire of remain

Italian Minister of War, according TO
the Don Mario, Of Naples, Italy,
has received petitions from over one
hundred soldiers in AbyssInia re-
questlng that they be permitted 10 re-

guilty of desortion from the army.
They assert that they have neither
family nor home in Italy, nor any pros
pect OF betterlng their fortunes if they

minister Is disposed to grant their re-
quest, but, for fear of popular feeling
in Italy, he has not yet done SO.

Call Him by His Right Name.


President Cleveland, whatever else
he may have accomplished, has failed
to please our esteemed friends of thC
Sea Coast Echo and the Biloxi Review
The former paper has printed screed
against the President which we quote
below, and which Is reproduced with
cordial appreciation by the Review:
"Grover Cleveland has proven himself to be
the most cOwRrdly treaCherous and I'M Amer
lean president yet chosen by the people of this
great country. But Cuba and those patriots
who have so nObly stood by il will get that
comfort wished them by the people OF this gov
eminent from the incoming administration.
Grover Cleveland's action about that has dis
graced American manhood and made his name
an gnominiOus thing
Good friends, gentle comrades III
arms, that will hardly pass muster
among the American people. Call
Grover Cleveland treacherous, uu.
American and a scouudrcl. Charge
that he served term in the New York
penitentlary for robbiug hOg-pens and
chicken.houses Of the farmers, and
thereby put down tho price of wheat
and cotton, Nay, charge that he muir
dcred his grandmother. But IN the
name of truth and justice and all fair
ness in even blackguard controversy,
do not call him coward, for no sem
sible man IN the broad limits of the
civilized world will believe you.

Pursuant to a resolution of the last
congress, the Philadelphia mint is TO
begin to make experiments with new
metals and combinations of metals to
determine whether any improvement
can be made in our present copper
and nickel coinage. 1t may give US
aluminum cents in place of the copper
pieces now in use, and possibly new
species of 5-cent pieces, made entirely
of nickel, oil perhaps half of nickel
and half of copper. There Is 80 slight
a suggestion of copper in the present
scent piece that 1t is surprise to read
that rs per cent of it is copper and
only rs per cent nickel. The present
cent contains So per cent of copper, 2
per cent of tin. and 3 per cent of zinc.
The objection is made to it that it 10
hard to distinguish by feeling between
a cent and silver 10-cent piece.

Women who Hunt.

A newspaper said the other day
that as rifle ehootng required steady
nerve and good eye few women
were capable of using the most deli
cate Of firearms. As a matter Of fact
when woman has had III equal
chance with men at rifle practice she
has more than demonstrated her ability
TO equal man with the weapon.
Every year women go to Maine TO
Canada, TO the Rockies, to Africa, TO
India, and shoot deer from runswsys,
moose from booths and tigers from
the back OF elephants. They also take
alpon.stock and strap crampons on
their feet, to seek the channels of the
bleak Alps, aud 1t lie pleasing to note
that the difllcultIes of the precipices
and the shyness of much-hunted game
are not too much for the huntress,
with checks made rosy by the thin,
cold air of high attitudes, since she
fetches her game down man fashion.
SO far as is known no woman has ever
Killed an elephant; but lions, tigers,
grizzly, Russian and black bears, pan
theirs, leopards, deer of most II not all
kinds, aud the uplands, longshore and
sea birds have fallen when women
have pressed the triggers of their
weapons.
So important has woman become in
the hunting field that the manufac-
turers have had TO pay special atten-
ton to weapons for her use. The guns
must not be 80 heavy as those for men.
The coming of smokeIess powders
aud long, slender bullets fired from
six or seven pound rifles has put
women on a footing beside men, for
the new rifles will Kill anything.

The treatment accorded the ex-
Queen of Hawaii by the press of the
United States is simply disgraceful.
From the time she set foot on these
shores she has been the victim Of pry-
Ing intrusion, Misrepresentation, sour
rllous paragraphs, and insulting with
cisms which should cause the check Of
generous manhood to burn when it is
remembered that the victim is lonely
aud defsnselsss woman, whose misfort-
unes alone should make her sacred
from such attacks. Liliuokalani is q
woman of education, refinement and
delicacy, quite as capable Of feeling
the insults and ridicule heaped upon
her as would be any lady of the Anglo
Saxon race. Her anomalous and hu-
initiating position should awaken only
sympathy and consideration and even
If she possessed no other claim, she ia

William Waldorf Aston has decided
to swear allegiance to Queen Victoria
and reuOuuce the land of his birth
forever. This action is not very sur
priung, and it is remarkable that the
papers should give so much space to
the actions of a man who is surely
amenable to nobody but himself for
his conduct, aud has a perfect right to
do what be chooses with himself aud
his money. Mr.. Aston has said that
America was no fit place for n gentle
man to 1--we Now, every man to bis
taste. An old recipe for the making
of gentleman says that the work
must commence two hundred years
before he is born. The Astors have
alresdy gotten almost entirely rid OF
the smell of hides and taloW, and
perhaps a century Of English air will
etfectually purge away the ettluVium.
England is probably more delightful
dwelling place for very wealthy man
than America. 1t is beautiful land ::
the home of culture, elegance and the
social graces The art of living has
been carried to a higher degree Of
perfection than could be attained in
America. Mr.. Aston shows great
deal of good sense, and if he is willing
to pay d good price to be made gen.
tleman, who shall say him nay
