also find your Brazilian forest, and have no doubt
you will catch and train your monkey, and teach
him to gather and bring to you the wild fruits OF
the forest. But mark my words. No sooner will
you have brought your monkey into good training,
and be living in peace, quiet and happiness on
your cocoa,nuts and other fruits, than the ID
Yankees will come along, emancipate your mon
key and leave you to starve."


The diabocal threat thus made by the young
rebel to enslaye this intelligent being " OF African
descent" which was only thwarted temporarily by
the superior caution of his willy companion, is, we
learn, already being carried into practical effect
by some of the rebels who have escaped into
Mexico. With an ingenuity worthy of better
cause" rebel surveyors on the railroad route from
Vera Cruz to Orizava, have praotsed the most
alluring arts upon the monkeys of that region,
until they have been actually induced to initiate
all the actions of the surveyors SO closely that an
apprehension exists in the minds of loyal" men
that even the political principles of the monkey
will, ere long, be corrupted by associations With
these unpardoned rebels, and his loyal" status
endangered. An intelligent traveller Just returned
from Mexico, assures US that squad of monkeys,

camp, and build their fires with the chunks left
by the surveyors, and would doubtless practice
the culinary art but for the lack of vessels to fulfill
the purpose. well-grounded fear prevails in
loyal minds, that as soon as the monkeyshave been
sufficiently trained to perfect themselves in the
science to which their attention has been directed
by the insidious arts Of these rebel" surveyors
the white men will impress their services. without
compensation, and reduce these intelligent Afri
