Vicksburg, Aug Sd. H. Shepherd,
of Eagle Lake, in order to prove some
of his facts and theories about fish
and such things, has forwarded to
Vicksburg a handsome young alligator
2h feet long. Mr.. Shepherd sent the
saurian down by the steamer Senator
Cordill.
The accompanying tag on the box
in which the alligator was Grated
stated that the pet had been able to
dance all the latest steps, which is
proof incontrovertible that an alliga-
tor has much more sense than the
average human.
/ Whether or not Mr.. Shepherd has
ever attempted to teach his alliga
torship how to sing. Is not known, bu
it is very sure that the pet could
leasily be taught this accomplishment
The proposition that is confronting
the Vicksburgians today is What ar

Bouncer Hardaway, colored pol

alligator something to eat.
