A convention of colored religious as
sociations, lately in session at Indianapo
lis, Ind., demanded of the next Congress
an appropriation of SIOO,OOO to promote
i project for the permanent colonization
of the colored people in the West.
Professor Thompson, of the geological
survey, who has been at work near Reno,
Nev., making surveys and maps for the
purpose of establishing reservoir sites for
the purposes of irrigation, is very en
thusiastic regarding the work, and says
the result will exceed his most sanguine
expectations. He is confident that
through irrigation millions of acres of
arid lands on the Pacific coast, can be re
claimed and made productive.
London is really going to imitate Paris
and become an intrenched city. Military
storehouses have already been built for
the troops, whieli might be used on its
southern line of defense; intrenched
camps are to be created, and one of them
is actually to bo near the town of Dork
ing, the scene of the mythical battle.
The volunteer artillery is to be equipped
at. once with more suitable guns. It

Three expeditions to the South Pole
are under discussion, and have been more
or less determined upon. England has
one under consideration, the French sci
entists are urging their Government to
take up the matter, and the Germans of
Hamburg, with Villard as their Ameri
can agent, have been seriously contem
plating sending down a body of explorers
to the mysterious regions of the Antarc
tic. A general revival of interest in this
comparatively neglected portion of the
globe seems to be promised, and the San
Francisco Chronicle thinks the time is at
hand when the existence of a great An
tarctic continent, the magnetic conditions
of the South, and the relative flatness of
the earth at that point will be definitely
settled.
The carelessness of the Mexican Gov
ernment in regard to money matters, the
New York tin it declares to be most rep
rehensible. "Our neighbor has permitted
herself to be robbed of $1,200,000 in
bonds. It appears that the robbery oc
curred in the fifth section of the Treasury
Department, at the head of which is Mr.
Enrique Abogodo. The stolen bonds
were in two books, and it is stated they
were placed on the market in London,
where 9>5)20,000 were realized by their
sale. There is some question as to
whether the bonds were signed, scaled,
dated and marked with the private mark
of the Treasury Department; but this
matters little, inasmuch as the robbers are
apparently capable of signing the name
of Secretary Dublau."
During the Russian Czar's recent visit
to Germany, extraordinary measures foi
his safety were taken. No precautions
seemed to satisfy the Russian officials.
Count Schouvaloff fortified the Russian
Embassy at Berlin. Six Russian artizans.
especially attached to the Czar's retinue,
examined the walls, flooring and furniture
of the embassy and inserted grating bar
ring at the tops and bottoms of the chim
neys. Sentries were also stationed upon
the roof, apparently to prevent explosives
being thrown down the flues. The Ber
lin secret police assisted the Russian de
tectives as far as the frontier. In ac
cordance with the Czar's desire the rail
way bridges at Neustadt, Dirschau and
Marienburg and all the streets of Dantzic
were guarded by troops. Until the mo
ment the Czar left Dantzic even the of
ficials were not allowed to know whethet
he would board the imperial yacht Der
java or make the journey by railroad.
When the train started for the frontier,
orders were telegraphed to put 50,00(1
Russian troops in motion to protect the
line.
A small herd of young buffaloes which
reached the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington recently is regarded by the
Government naturalists as a most precious
acquisition. The buffalo has had his day,
and, unless a few specimens are hereaftei
bred by persons interested in his preset
vatiou as the noblest specimen of our na
tive fauna, the race will soon become as
extinct as the American mastodon. Not
many years ago, however, the noble ani
mal roamed the plains in countless num
bers, and a frequent and picturesque sight
in the far West was an euormous caval
cade of buffaloes charging over the
prairies at the heels.of their shaggy leader.
Civilization is even more fatal to the buf
falo than to the Indian. With the open
ing of the West by the railroads their
destruction began. Thousands of hunt
ers for whom the buffalo country was now
accessible began to kill them off by
droves. So wanton was the carriage that
the species has well-nigh disappeared,
and a buffalo is now an unusual sia:ht on
any of the Western plains. Even the
specimens received at Washington were
not captured in their wild state,
bred at an army post from animals caught
by Indians in 1883.

Tlie native races along the southern
coast of South America are described as
professional wreckers and thieves. Tlieii
practices arc told by the author of"The
Cruise of the Falcon," not. for conimen

who may be cast away on those shores.
One sailor is sitting half asleep on his
sea chest. A gaucho conies up and taps
him on his back.
"Bueno, Johnny; buono, Johnny."
"If you urc not oIT, I will send a bul
letinto you," says Jack.
"Bueno, Johnny: bueno; till to-mor
row," and off skulks the g&ucho to his
horse, which he mounts. With a sar
donic smile he takes off his hat to Jack,
bids him farewell, and digging his spurs
into the flanks of his wiry little horse,
leans over his neck and is off at full gal
lop over the short grass of the sandy
plains.
At the first stride of the horse, to
Jack's intense surprise, his box is
wrenched violently from under him. lie
jumps up, rubs his eyes, and before he
can recover his senses he sees his prop
erty rolling and bumping away over the
sand liills at the heels of the gaucho's
steed; for this clever gentleman had man
aged to make one end of his lasso fast to

A Great IHlsfortnnr.
Heavy rains of ten produce disease among
farm animals. Almost every day eases of
roup, swelled head and a distemper very dis
astrous among poultry are reported. A part
of this is also due to improper feeding. You
cannot make a hen lay when everything you
give her is being transformed into fat, and
laying the foundat ion of disease, same as with
an overfed child or person. Alfred T. John
son, Hampton, N. H., says: "Last fall I had
80 fine looking hens, which began to droop
and die; I changed their food and began us
ing Sheridan's Powder; in throe weeks they
were nearly well, and had increased the eggs
sixteen a day. I have just bought six cans of
it. as a preventive of disease the coming win

Tile wonderful growth of this New Eng
land city in the South has been such as to
occasion exclamations of surpriso from all
visitors. Surely, say many, the magician's
art alone could have produced this great
transformation in a few short months. To
those who have studied the situation the
growth seems the most natural thing imag
inable and >ot at all to be wondered at,
though phenomenal.
Of all the flourishing towns and cities of
the South this one has attracted most atten
tion, perhaps, for here alone is to be worked
out the result of the first organized move
ment of the capital and brains from the
North and East in the development of the
vast resources of this region of country.
Hero tho iron ore of the best quality is
within a quarter of a mile of the furnace.
Limestone for fluxing is yet nearer, on the
opposite side, and the coke ovens are building
on the lot adjoining the furnace. A like
condition of fortuitous circumstances do not
exist elsewhere in this or any other country
to insure a cheap production of pig iron.
Besides, this country abounds in clays that
makes the finest quality of flre bricks, sewer
pipe, terra cotta, etc.; in kaolin and haloy
site, from which is made tho finest crockery
and pottery; in sand for moulding and for
glass making; in building stone of beautiful
colors and shades; in forests of timber, both
hard and soft woods; in a productive soil; in
beautiful scenery; an abundance of pure
spring water, and in healthful surroundings.
Its location is in the Wills Valley, between
Lookout and Sand Mountains, on the Queen

The Fort Payne Coal & Iron Company,
having 1800 stockholders, nearly all from
New England, with Col. J. W. Spauld
ing, as President, and C. O. Godfrey
(Mayor of the city), as General Manager,
located here in February last and purchased
many thousand acres of laud. At that time
the population numbered 631; now it is a
city of over 3000 population, with electric
lights, water works, and rapidly growing.
In that time there has been erected
and in process of erection over five hundred
dwellings, two large hotels, furnace, rolling
mill, lime kiln, nsphaltuui block pavement
factory, ice factory, stove works, very ex
tensive lire clay works, five brick yards,
carriage factory, two saw mills, planing
mill, two banks, many stores, school houses,
churches, opera house, etc. The officers of
the company are busy day ami night ar
ranging for new industries, answering scores
of letters daily received, entertaining visit
ors and pushing the building operations of
the new industries under way. The Fort
Payne Herald, of August 'JSth, issued a six
teen page illustrated paper which gives a
complete resume of the wonderful growth of
tho city up to that date.
