Nogalense Generosity.

Last month the Los Angeles EX- aminer had d pathetic account of the way in which small orphan boy in that city, living upon the charity of others almost, was en- gagged in selling newspapers to raise money to pay the license tax on pet dog It attracted the at tention of several Nogales gentle men, chief among whom was Billy Colburn, of the Montezuma Bar. Mir. Colburn felt that he would like to do something for the sturdy little fellow described by the Ex- aminer, and he suggested to some of his many friends that they "chip in" bit to help out, Mir. Colburn starting the list himself with contribution of five dollars. The response was all that could he asked, and very shortly d check for twenty dollars was sent the Ex aminer with instructions to devote the money to the benefit of he boy. shortly after Mir. Colburn received from the Examiner the following letter, of which he feels proud, and justly so:

The Way II Was Described by an
Educated Native.
C. j. Phillips. business agent in
Uganda of the Church Missionary So
ciety, throws light upon the workings
of the native mind by quoting a re-
markable letter 10 which a native
member of the katikiro's (prime minis
ter'sl party gives description Of the
Uganda railway.
my friend, ! can tell you the Euro
peans have done marvellous thing to
make the railway and the trains. They
fasten ten or fifteen houses together
and attach them to a fireplace which
Is as big as an elephant, and the road
It goes on is as smooth as the stem Of
a plantain. 1t goes as fast as a swal-
low flying. and everything you see out
side fits past you like a spark from
fire. IL It were to drop or one OF the
bridges not one In it would be saved.
for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills
it passes are as high as those of Koki.
and they have bridged over great val
legs which are as deep as that you see
gOh tOOh AIOui NnC Top VI sNuAil-
rembo. so deep that you cannot see the
bottom when you are going over them"
Later there follows description of
ship: 1T is as deep as our two sto
ried house and as wide as the kings
road in Mengo, and it is as long as
from the katikiros fence to the gate
of the kings Enclosure. 1t has three
tall poles in it and big throat, out of
which smoke comes, which is as wide
as the new drum in the church at Ma
mirembo. The rooms in it go down
three stories, and the boards of these
/ cannot describe to you, for such have
not been seen before. There is a lot
of metal work about them, too, but
these also l cannot describe. for 1t is
so fine. There are children on board
aud a fOck Of sheep and places to
wash in attached to every place where
chief sleeps. such as even our king
has never possessed. "-London Strand
