shrewd Negro and the Eclipse

Sunday night, while negroes from
several large plantations in the eastern
part OF Tyler county were at church a
strange negro appeared and told them
that he had been told in a dream that
early the next morning q small black
spot would appear on the sun. which
would grow larger and larger until fin
ally the sun would become almost OBJ
seure. This. he explained, would be a
sign of Gods displeasure at their sinful
ways and of their miserly gifts TO the
church and the poor. and that in case
liberal donations were not made to ap-
pease Gods wrath awful things would
happen. He furnished member of
each family with q darkened glass,
with instructions how 10 use it. and

and TO come prepared to make liberal
gifts and TO pray.
The game, il is said, worked like =
charm, and as soon as the spot on the
sun H,cs observed tie negroes FASTENED
to chu- h with whatever small change
they had. whicn was tgrned over to the
strange negro. Shortly after the eclipse
the negro left on his errand to distrih-
ute the gifts to the needy and has not
been seen in that section since.-Gal-

AN ITALIAN ON THE ENGLISH.
Too Calm for Anything to Arouse Any
Interest.

Too Calm for Anything to Arouse Any
Interest.
Il think that the English calmness,"
SO writes Pietro Verri in one of his
letters Of 1880, published in the Hu-
manitarian, docs not depend so much
on the climate as on the fact that here
many truths have already become trite
and commonplace. In Paris there is an
extraordinary enthusiasm for philoso-
ply because philosophy and its truths
are diversified and contrasted, and
from this is produced a shock and a
ferment which throw all minds into
revolt; but in London no one gets ex-
cited about anything. II you wish to
believe in nothing, you are at liberty
to do 80. II you want to believe only
a little. you can do SO. II you wish to
believe this way, or that way, you are
always free to do as you like Should
you want to found new sect, you can
found 1t. Do you wish to say that the
king is fool? You can say It as often
as you please-my servant says it
hundred times day. To sum up, here
liberty, not being bound by any lin
itation, is altogether peaceful. The
most wretched beggar Is free to publish
his opinion about anybody and every
body, and group Of Scottish Journal
lists do nothing every day but derido
the government and the court. But,
after all. what pleasure does an emo
tional man derive from this? l, who
when in Milan had such a great desire
to laugh at our senate and our magis-
trates, do not even think of such a
thing here. It would be Just the same
thing as to speak Of the weather.
Nitimur in vetitum. Some truths have
become SO common here that they no
longer form the subject of surprise or
enthusiasm"

Beasts That Are Confined In Gaze"
Fight In Sheer Devilmsnt.


Fight In Sheer Devilm.nt.
Fights in sheer devilment sometimes
take place between animals in confne
ment. says Cassells Magazine. A
short, sharp battle took place in Ed
monds' menagerie between lion and
a tiger Just forty years ago. The lion
was the same which had escaped from
Jamrach's yard, in what was then Rat
GIN highway, and bitten a boy Mr.
Edmonds bought 1t, and is said to have
billed 1t as "the tiger that swallowed
the child" OF course the beast was
great draw. but after few days In its
new quarters the tiger managed to
draw forward the sliding shutter and
squeeze itself into the adjoining den,
where lion was confined. The lion
resented the intrusion, but was imme-
diately seized by the throat and,
though there were tremendous strug-
gies' the fight was practically over as
soon as 1t commenced. The tiger
never loosed its hold and in few min
utes the lion was dead. About twenty

and, in sparring with her mate. drove

began the fray. The tiger threw her
