FROM the New York Sun.
We see that the Galveston people
who proposed in the first place to
erect a monument to the old colored
nanny have been prevailed upon to
transfer the location to Washington,
making it a national affair and invit-
ing all parts of the country to con-
tribute. It is a good and pleasant op-
portunity, in our opinion and we
should like to see the whole nation
take part in it. Stored urns and sac
red edifces have been placed in all
parts of our land, dedicated to mem
ories good, bad and Indifferent and to
achievements noble, benefcent or
otherwise. We see heroes, some of
them too cheap to quote, careering
Oil stationary but foaming horses, and
mark the attitudes of sculptured pa
triots and statesmen, most of whom
are planted in our private pantheons
and immoftalized in grateful mem
ory. But we encounter also the eff
hgies of Mud-stained publicists and
f1tile warriors and questionable
benefactors. Nothing more or less
could be expected. We let it go at
that All of us, however, can unite
upon the old black nanny, the mil
lions who have enjoyed her kindly
ministrations and the other and more
numerous millions who have only
heard of them.

said that he bears much resemblance
to the American bison. His body and
legs suggest both the antelope and the
goat. his back is Ike that of yak and
his head, which is surrounded by curv-

suggests that of the moose. The takin

Rockies. He is strong and able

account of himself.
The hide of the takin which was
sent here was dry and as hard as a
board, and Mr.. Higgins, chief taxider-
mist Of the museum, had a long strug-
gle with 1t IN getting 1t into proper
form, but by following the hair pat
terms he has been enabled to present
the skin with all the distinction which
an animal Of such complicated ana
tony deserves.
The hOofs Of the creature are very
hard and have grooves and scratches
In them, which indicate that he was
well accustomed to making his agile
way over the sharp rocks in his native

NOW READY

Col. Lewis Jefferson the most sue
cessful steamboat operator in the
country announces that he is now
ready to receive dates for the excur-
sion season for his two boats, the
River Queen and the Jane Mosley.
these are two of the best boats that
run upon the Potomas waters. Col.
Jefferson has agar renovated his
boats at a cost of several thousands
dollars and at the beginning of the
excursion season, the several excur-
sions that are under the control Of
Col. Jefferson will be frst-class.
The Bee states now as it has al
ways stated that these two boats
shoald be encouraged for the reason
that Col. Jefferson has made it pos
sible for colored Americans to enjoy
themselves, when all other enter
prises of a similar character have
barred them. The coming season
will be the largest and the best in the
history. Secure your dates at once
because there will be no other boat
running this season for colored Ameri-
cans.

In the original belief, it is said, that it
was here that the Mississippi river
emptied its broad waters. He spent
some time exploring the coast in this
section and then went up the Navidad
river some ten miles and there built
his little fort. The site of this first
settlement is full Of beauty. The

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
