the Potomac Navigation Company, with
Gen. George Washington as chief pro-
moter, that owned and exercised the right
of way. Untold struggles were expert
enced before the canal was finished as 1t

rocks, tunnels and massive walls next the
river are all monuments to the skin of

Guatemala's Big Coffee Crop.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
When the volcanic eruptions in Guate-
mala last year covered the coffee f1ncas 1t
was believed that the industry was ruined
and that Guatemala had received a blow
from which recovery would be slow. Many
planters abandoned their ash-covered plan
tations and believed themselves ruined.
But the activity Of the volcanoes was fol-
lowed by heavy and long-continued rains,
which washed away q great deal Of the
ashes and incorporated more Of them with
the soil. The rain also seemed to bleach
the ashes and extract from them LIQUID
fertilizer which proved Of great benefit to
the coffee trees The result is a crop near
ly as large again as last years Hereafter
when the volcanoes of Guatemala erupt
and spout ashes the only unfortunate cof-
fee planters will be those whose fincas are
outside of the showers.

Irresistible Appeal.

As a matter of fact, the outside-the-gate
discourse of the rough rider with the cane
has been and still is one of the magnets
drawing us so frequently to that lalr II
is so frankly winsomely expressive OF
ferocity unspeakable, a chained human
bestiality so incarnate, that we simply can
not resist the appeal. And all for the price
of bad lemon phosphate, too-it sets one
back but half a dime to peer down into the
den of Hike Kiko.
Again, the dark, daring solemn1ty, so to
speak, of the sailor who guards Hike kiko
in his den. Sailor? Absolutely! He Is the
sailor who, on Hickey Hackey Hockey Is
land captured Hike kiko. He doesn't tell
you that himself, being person of satur-
nine humor but the rough rider out In
front tells you, and If you do not bring all
of your credulty with you to Atlantic City
you miss more than seven-eighths Of the
fun.
Well, there sits the sailor, in white blue
Jackets clothes, with bo suns mates rat
ing badge on his starboard arm. He sits
on a barrel, with a most cious-looking
rifle resting upon his knees. He keeps
wary and a steady eye upon Hlko klko.
He never laughs. For half an hour some
times, one watches him, waiting to catch a
furtive grin at least on one side of his face
But he is trained sailor, this fellow from
Hickey Hackey Hockey Island, and be
knows his job. He never larfs and he
never smiles With such marvellous control
over himself in the supreme righteousness
of his situation he is far more wonderful
than Hike kiko himself.

Strange Incident.

On the 9th of April, Mr.. Jesse
Lee about / miles north west of
Lexie, was blowing near his house
and his little four year old boy
was playing not far from him.
Mr.. Lees horse became frighten-
ed and ran waay. Mr.. Lee told
his little boy to get out of the way.
The little fellow ran and succeed
ed in getting out of the enclosure,
at place where the fence was
down; but the horse went over
the fence where the child was,
carrying the pillow by one trace,
entangled the little fellow in the
gear, took him and the pillow some
fifty yards when the pillow beam
struck a stump and came loose
from the horse. The little boy
during the whole time did not give
any sign Of fear or pain. Mr.. Lee
went to his little boy expecting to
find him dead or seriously ininr-
ed, but Providence dealt kindly
with the child, and while it re-
ceiVed some scratches and bruises,
it was not dangerously hurt, and

Wants Pores Influence.

The Clarion Ledger says that q
Kansas negro has applied to the
Pope of Rome urging his influence
and good Office for the better
treatment of the nergo in this
country. The reply of the Pope,
sent through the papal secretary
of state, Cardinal Merry Mel De
Vail, is as follows:
Il have much pleasure in assur-
ing you that his holiness has read
the resolution with interest and
sympathy, and ] am commission
ed to thank you and all your asso-
ciates very cordially in his name.
The sovereign pontiff is well
aware that there are many Catho-
lies among the negroes of the
United States, and this knowledge
increases his interest in the well
fare of your race. His holiness,
as the vicar of Christ, extends his
loving care to every race without
exception, and he must necessarily
use his good offices to urge all
Catholics to be friendly to ne
gloes, who are called, no less than
other men, to share in all the
great benefits of the redemption.
