This newspaper is indeed somewhat
proud of its record as n training school
In its own short career The News has
graduated a very unusual number of
young men all or part OF whose train

city contemporaries IL has called for
talent which Il was able to discern and
has proved a stepping stone for these
fortunate boys TO something stir hieh-
er. In other cases IL has taken sbso-
lutely raw material and 80 trained II

for II new openings in establishments
where opportunity beyond certain

advantage 10 them and The News has
never failed TO encourage such upon

TIE VAMPIRE VINE.-The octo-
pus has hitherto been regarded as
the most hateful and horrible Of
all created things. There has,
however, been discovered in Mica.
ragua plant which is as fearsome
as the devil fish. 1t is vine called
by natives "the devil snare, andit
seems literally to drain the blood
Of any living thing that comes
within its death dealing touch. A
naturalist, who has recently re-
turned from Central America, re-
lates the finding of this singular
growth in one OF the swamps which
surround the great lakes oi Mica
ragua. He was engaged in hunt
ing tor botanical and entomology
cal specimens, when he heard his
dog cry out. as il in agony, from a
distance. Running to the spot, he
found the dog enveloped in a net
work of W at seemed to be a fine
rope like tissue Of roots and hbres.
The vine seemed to be composed
Of bare interlacing stems and re-
sembling the branches Of the weep
ing willow denuded OF leaves, Of a
dark hue, and covered with a thick
vascid gum that exuded from the
pores. Drawing his knife he en-
deavored to cut the animal free,
but il was only with the greatest
difficulty he succeeded in severing
the heshy, muscular 6bres. 10
his horror and amazement the nat
uralist then saw that the dogs
body was blood stained, while the
skin appeared to have been actu-
ally sucked or puckered in spots.
and the animal staggered as ifirom
exhaustion. In cutting the vine
the twIgs turned like living. sinu-
Gus fingers, and it required no
slight force to free the hand from
its clinging grasp, which left the
flesh red and blistered. The gum
exuding from the vine was OF a
graYish dark tinge, remarkably
adhesive, and OF disagreeable ami
NAL odor, powerful and nauseat-
ing to inhale. The native serva nts
manifested the greatest horror OF
the vine, which they called "the
DEVILS snare," and were full Of
stories of ITS death dealing powers.
Its voracIty is almost beyond be-
lief, its power oi suction being con-
tanned in a number of in6nitesimal
mouths. If the substance it seizes

spears. whose blades were nearly
a yard long, the pacific pastoral
lists melted away like fields OF snow
before the warm west winds. The
old people were slaughtered, and
the Younger ones forcibly incor
porated with Tchaka's motley
hordes of mixed races, which he
had subdued one alter the other,
and which were afterwards desig-
mated by ignorant people who did
not know their history as the Zulu
nation, and blubbered over by silly
sentimentalists as a noble and OPP
pressed race whose traditions OF
military renown and barbaric
splendor under a long line Of illus
trious hereditary princes came
down from the dim shadows OF
ages. And vet the last king OF
the Zulus," otherwise the last
bloo,lthirsty savage, who domi-
mated the southeast OF Africa, was
nephew OF the hrstl
And so Farewell found but a
miserable remnant Of the aborigi-
nal population, living in hiding
upon the fruits Of the forest, and
the harvest Of the hunt, where they
had but a few years before owned
smiling crops and scented herds OF
dainty cattle. And but a couple
OF days Journey off upon the banks
OF the Umvoti, dwelt the monster,
'Tchaka, now in the plenitude OF
his power, and consoling the last
years oi his ill-spent lite with daily
spectacles OF torture and dismem-
berment. Farewell made friends
with this remnant, and collected
all the fugitives around him, And
with their aid he made war upon
the countless swarms OF elephants
to which the neighborhood Of the
bay was a favorite resort. The
courage and prowess displayed by
the white men in these expeditions
and the strange weapons Of ottense
possessed by them, so impressed
the unsophisticated savages that
they hailed them as chiefs worthy
Of ruling over them. So the four
men became petty Kahr chiefs, with
at hrst but few score of fugitive,
timorous outcasts under them, but

A PLAGUE OF FLIES. An extra
ordinary incident occurred at Or
lestone, Kent, England, recently,
the place being visited by plague
OF flies, which came from the south
with the wind. The insects, which
were black with almost almost
white wings much larger than their
bodies, came in myriads, and quite
darkened the sky, almost totally
excluding the light OF day. They
caused great inconvenience and
irritation to pedestrians by settling
in vast numbers on the faces and
clothing, whilst they also invaded
houses. Eventually thev settled
on the ground, and had to be
washed down the drains with water
to prevent their making their way
into residences. Such a remark
able sight has never before been
witnessed in thesdistrict.

At last the story is told, and by the only
person competent to tell it fearlessly and
truthfully. The actual scenes of all the wars
of all nations, including our Spanish affair,
from the time of the formation of the Red
Cross Society by national treaty, are now
officially described and pictured by its presi-
dent, Clara Barton, name that will live
as long as civilization lasts as the
synonym of all that is humane. Our
former townsman, Thomas c. Waters, is

Records of the Red Cross Society, written up

brother is with him and is the special rep

territory assigned to Mr.. Waters being his
residence for life time, we hope our people
will show their fraternal feeling by helping
him in his new labor, being assured that the
story of the Red Cross for the irst time
truthfully told, will be ample recompense for
the small outlay desired He will call on his
many friends as rapidly as possible.
