\ Pecu1Isr Accident.

One Of the most peculiar accidents ever heard Of happened to colored man near Red Deer, Va, a few days ago. Ed Jones took his gun and set out for day of sport He was not looking for large game, but he had not been in the woods long before he saw an immense deer coming at a tre- mendous rate of speed immediately to- ward him. He at once fell upon his knees, preparatory to a shot, and when the deer was within twenty feet of him fired and missed his aim. The deer had acquired such tremendous mo- mentum that it could not check itself and with the next leap landed upon the hunter. It knocked him down and bruised him badly upon the breast with one hind foot, the other going into the negro's mouth, knocking oui a number of his teeth, tearing a part of his gums away, and passing dowr his throat. The whole thing was oyer in an instant, but when the darkey came to the deer was gone.

 "Only in name does republicanism exist in the countries of South Am erfca,o says a southern business man who recently returned from tour of the Latin-American countries. "The Latin republics are the worst apologies for republics in the entire calendar of free states Affairs in these republics are becoming better of late, but it is the simplest thing in the world to pro- yoke a revolution. We are all familiar with the changes of government that have taken place within the last de cade, but few understand how easy 1t has been, and still is in some of these republics, to precipitate rebellion, turn ruler out of office, upset gov ernment, and create general anarchy, l was in one of these republics some years ago, when a revolution, or rather an attempt at revolution, occurred, for 1t was not a genuine success. was, with friend, about to go to breakfast RilG4 pal U OA clh0hl ShSAIJ Ai1S1A S~P peared in the street along which we were passing.

Every man had cloak over his sheul- ders, though the weather was oppres- sively warm, ana when they sighted each other the eleaks were thrown aside and more brass medals, rainbow tinted ribbons, red sashes and other gorgeous insignia of something or oth- CT I never saw. They began firing at each other, and soon the street was filled with a multitude of troops and about an equal number of revolution ists. The government troops dispersed the rebels on this occasion, and when we left in the afternoon for our respee. tive locations, the same national flags that were flying at sunrise were st!!; hanging at their s.affs. It was on this occasion a bloodless and futile revolu' tion, and people went about their bust, ness on the next day with the same eomposure and contempt for one party or. the other as they had on the day before the opera bouffe rebellion"
