W. C. C. claiborne. Louisiana were pc
culiar. The territory had been French,
then Spanish, then French. There
had been British settlers. Some Of the
Indian tribes, hostile to the Americans
particularly, remained. Sedition was
rife. There was no connection of in
terests. Every little community was
seeking for its own aggrandizement.
The man who could unite these inter-
ests, quell rebellion, and resist attack
must be one not only of undoubted
ability, but also Of unquestionable pa
triotism.
This man was William Charles G.
Claiborne He had been appointed
governor of Mississippi in 1902, and in
1903 had been commissioned to take
charge Of the province when it was
purchased from France. This conf
mand he shared with Gen. James
Wilkinson. After the establishment of
the new government in 1904 he was
made the governor, an Office that he
| filled with such success that when the
province became a, State Claiborne
was made its governor, elected by the
people

In British Central Africa. The length
of Africa from north to south along
the line Of the road is about 1000
miles. The portion of the road now
in actual operation is 2,016 miles long.
but the distance remaining to be coy
cred is even less than these figures
seem to indicate, for railroad construc-
ton is going on southwardly from
Egypt, and when the line from South
Africa penetrates the Soudan it will
make connections forming continuous
rail route across the continent. 1t is
not many years since Africa was
known as the dark continent. The re-
glon in which railroad construction Is
going on is that in which Livingstone
labored and In which he died in 1873.
At that time the idea that the next
generation would see the locomotive in
the heart Of Africa would have been
regarded as the dream Of madman.

President Castro of Venezuela has an
original way Of doing things. He left
the capital In the spring, and an.
nounced that he had retired from the
presidency for while. The vice pres
ident one Of his partisans, performed
some Of the functions of the presl-
dency. In the middle Of June Castro
let 1t be known that he would resume
his Office on July 9th. 1t would be
difficult to imagine the American Presi.
dent taking vacation and leaving the
Vice President to exercise his powers
even II the Constitution permitted such
a surrender OF duties.

1t Is said that some of the club
women Of New York complain Of the
way In which the parks of that city
are Uttered up by parties Of children.
No doubt such complaints have been
made, for there are finicky women ev-
erywhere, but We doubt II the whole
burden Of the attempt to block the
childish fun should be laid at the door
Of the clubwomen, who are often the
objects Of unjust criticism. We should
rather suspect that the idea originated
with those denatured women, whether
members Of clubs or not, who sport
dogs instead of children.

Lieut-Col. Joseph. Selden, brought up
the rear. These two regiments went
forward in column of companies on the
main road, but as the Confederates i'm
mediately opened heavy artillery fire
upon the head of the column, they had
to be deployed. However, the ground,
becoming rapidly narrower, did not
long permit Of an advance in this Or
der, SO that 1t soon became necessary
to ploy once more into column. About
$50 yards from the outer works the
Mount Pleasant road enters and crosses
deep ravine by a. bridge. then de-
stroyed. The hollow was completely
chOked with felled timber, through
which, under the heavy fire of mus
kerry and artillery, 1t was impossible to
pass; SO here the brigade stayed till
night enabled it to retire. Nickerson's
Brigade supported the movement of
Clark's, but without becoming seriously
engaged. Thus ended Dwight's move
ment. 1t can hardly be described as an
assault, as an attack or even as a seri-
Gus attempt to accomplish any valu-
able result; yet Indirectly it was the
| means Of gaining, and at small cost,
| the greatest, IL not the only real, advan-
| tage achieved that day, for 1t gave

of the line was made briskly and in
good order at the appointed time, with
out great loss.
The Nineteenth COrps's Darkest Hour.
| 1.-THE result of the day may be sum-
med up as a bloody repulse; beholding
the death and manning of SO many OF
the bravest and best Of the officers and
men, the repulse may be even termed
a disaster. In the whole service of the
Nineteenth Army Corps darkness never
shut in upon gloomier field. Men
went about their work in silence
stronger than words.
ION this day Fl officers and 1872 men
were killed, 70 officers and 1,245 men
were wounded, six officers and $50 men
missing; besides these, Is were reported
as killed, "a as wounded, and two as
missing without distinguishing between
officers and men, thus making a total
of 216 killed, 1.401 wounded, 1873 miss
ing-in all, 1905. Among the wounded
many had received mortal hurts, while
of the missing, as In the first assault
many must now be set down as killed.
