He Renorfed.

For three months during the last
year OF the war;" said an ex-Confed-
crate captain Of artillery, II had
charge of a two gun battery on q bluff
on the lower Mississippi river We
used to bang at the federal gunboats
ana transports passing up and down.
and now and then we did some dam
age. Now and then, also. a federal
BunDoat would stop and bang away at
us for an hour but we had such per
feet protection that it was a mere
waste of ammunition.
After while, however. there
came q day when five federal gun
poaLs rounded to in the bend to chas-
tise cur impudence. They meant 10
knock that bluff into the river aud
have us out. There was q. regiment of
our infantry two miles inland, and I
was instructed to report to the colonel
at frequent intervals by courier. When
the fight opened we took it coollv and
ran no risk. When we could get in q
shot without exposing ourselves we
did so. The federals fired solid shot
ana shell by the cart load, but not a
man or ours was hit Half an hour
after the fight opened / got a note
from the colonel asking me why I
1ldn report returned word that
there was nothing to report.
dalI an hour later I got the same
sort OF a message, and again returned
tne same answer / got a third and a
fourth, and then, at the end of two
hours, when the federaIs ceased their
ufe ana Withdrew under the impress
sion that they had knocked US into
spiinters. the colonel himself came
galloping up.
Why don't you report, sir-whv

BRINGS BACK SIX PIeauEs.
African Explorer Describes Peculiar
Tribe in the Congo.

Colonel J. J. Harrison, who has Just
returned to London after tour-
months expedition to the Congo Tor
est, has received permission from the
British foreign Office to ship for Eng
land six OF the pigmy denizens Of the
forest who have accompanied him OF
their own free Will and with the per-
mission Of the Congo government as
1ar as Cairo. Naturally the adVenIur-
Gus explorer did not get into touch
with this curious tribe without some
interesting experiences which he has
related as follows;
when once I had gained their con-
0dence they were quite friendly, and
eventually six OF theml-four men and
two Women-voluuteere to come with
me to England They freely conducted
me to their villages and at night time
erected leafy structures under which
I slept. They are Of an extremely low
order OF intelligence, and know moth
ing absolutely of what goes on around
them. They seem to have no religious
instincts and possess no idea of a SUI
preme being.
Their average height is feet to 4
feet 3 = inches and, curiously enough.
az a rule the women are taller than
the men. The women have also bet
ter physical development The men
seemed TO me to be starved. A note
worthy fact was the prevalence of a
terrible cough, due, perhaps to the
dampness of the atmosphere. All the
pigmies alike suffered from this to
such a degree that it was difficult to
sleep at night. I had quite expected
to find that serious lung trouble was
prevalent, but was surprised to dis
cover, as a result Of medical examina-
ton of the pigmies who accompanied
me back to Egypt that the lungs were
quite healthy
a striking characteristic OF the peo-
pie is their extraordinary silence; they
viii sit for hours Witho uttering a
word. They are nomadic and their
only wealth is in spears. The num-
Der Of spears determines the number
Of wives these people can afford. They
are practically nude. The Women's
the mems attire consists of a scrap of
skin around the waist Their whole
personal belongings consist of a pois-
Oned spear or two and an old clay
cooking pot. The women carry their
infants slung across their sides.
They are fearless hunters and will
boldly attack an elephant by rushing
up to 1T and planting a poisoned spear
ia the brute. They are also q very
warlilIe little people and only a short
while before my arrival in the forest
they had sailed out, attacked and
looted Belgian caravan and killed
seventeen porters- There were no
white men with the caravan and the
native soldiers bolted. They eat like
animals, even gnawing the bones of
their prey. When an animal is caught
they cut it W, skin and all, and put
1t IN the cooking pot Life in the for
est is dreary in the extreme. It is al
ways twilight, the sun never penetrat-
ing through the dense foliage. and for
nine months of the year it pours with
rain.''-From Africa.
