The news comes from Dutch Guiana
that two large trilase of the bushne-
groes are engaged' in a fierce war
growing out of a quarrel over a fish-
ing stream to which both claimed ex
elusive rights. One of the tribes.
flrraliy scattered so ninth poison in, the
tetrcaw that a large part of the fish.
died, and the result was a resort to
arms and at last accounts the fighting
VMS still going on. These blacks, who
.arescattered all through the bush in
Dutch Guiana, have a unique and re-
markable history. The white mens in
the colony, long ago, decided to let
them alone and would doubtless look
.on with satisfaction if the n.egroes
,would exterminate one. another,. They
•are known as the Negroes of the
Woods and have reproduced in the
Western Hemisphere the customs and
•charaeteristios of .savage Africa.
The ancestors of these negroes were
brought to Amerioa over two centuries
.ago in slave ships to work on the coast
,plantations of their Dutch masters:.
Terribly maltreated in the early, days
of the oolong, 'many; of them took re-
fuge In the forest depths and in time
they tempted hundreds of.,other : slaves
to rem ,away and,•enjoy with thexi the
freedom of the • 'bush. Early in the
last century the slaves played a sorry
trick .en their masters. It was the
time when Adealral Cassgrel attacked
the Dutch settlement and nearly'^all
the slaves were hurried into the in-
terior fore concealunent. • They never
came back, for they preferred the
wild life of the '.woods with , their
frienls, near-:. the head -waters of the
river, to drudging their lives away on
the coffee and tobacco. plantations.
There their descendants have lived
,ever since, as distinct from the Indians:
around them as from the whites on
Ehe coast. They seem not • to, have
grown in numbers for many years, and
there are believed to be only
ABOUT 8,000 Ole THEM.
Though savage as they are, they fight
one another en the slightest provoca-
tion, and have been involved in a great
deal of trouble with the Indians and
whites. As°a great many of them die
with their war paint on, they increase
eln numbers very slowly if at all.
'P.he. Moravian Brethren have labor-
ed for years among these negroes with
little apparent result, They are Iow
in the social ,scale, and have shown
little' aptitude for improvement. They,
a have only faintly -preserved : the mem.
ory of their fatherland, but they know
their ancestors came from across the
sea., and through the, customs handed
down to them they haveturned a bit
of tropical America, into a semblance
of the negro's native home. bike the
equatorlas'African, they tettoo' them-
selves without the' adjunet of color,
twist' their wool into many little
braids, wear arm and leg ornaments
of copper, brass and iron; and adorn
thgee necks with strings of beads or
the* geth of wild animals. ;They' live
.Cages, .legltycin vegeta'bl'e food and fish,
and t bio no tnorei'than their necessi-
ties . require..
It is an interesting fact that these
ti savages are more muscular and vigor-
ous,; being better formed, and :more
buoyant in spirit than 'their kindred
who for -generations have continued to
eetoil on the coast plantations. They
'µare Mentally brighter, too, than those.
near therm, who for generations have
1 been the descendants of slaves. Thus
they seem to afford a striking proof
of the fact that man can far better
perpetuate his best physical `and men -
al qualities in a state of savagism
than under conditions where he is
ti simply condemned to a hopeless life of
unrequited drudgery,
THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
The llianner In Which It :Is Being Dealt
With In trance.
The number of 'tramps in France is
not proportionately so large as in Am-
erica, abut T. --t is large enough to`attraet
the attention of legislators.
The. ;frequency of crimes recently
committed by tramps showed the
necessity of preparing a law concern-
ing beggars and tramps of more prao-
tical benefit than the municipal ordin-
a,noes posted at the limits of every
commune or township.
It imposes; severe penalties , on pro-
fessional beggars or tramps ,who re-
fuse to work without proper reason.
Unlike the existing laws, the new bill
deals mildly with the tramps and un
fortunntes who are able and willing to
work, but cannot find any employ-
meant;. These are to be t tkeu" before
-tk Justice of the Peace,' who is to send
thereto the 'house of labor" which
every department in France is to be
e spelled to open, where they - will be
upied at smile m

eThe trials of beggars and tramps
ve clmounted on an average, to'35,

condition of the temporary refuges,

HOW THE FIRST OFFICER RECEIVED
HIS TERRIBLE WOUND.
Steady -and Silent Pursuit or the Dispatch
$carers --An Ineesitive to Speed Bunt
Behind -The Town et Last.
It was the evening( of the first day
out. ,Behind us the sun had dropped
down below the sea, and the stream-
ship was plowing on steadily, into the
east, where the darkness was gather-
ing fast. The first officer stood with
his back against the rail, lazily watch-
ing the throng of passengers on .t
promenade .deck. The whole net
started with a commonplace "Go
evening." It ended with the folio
ing story:
"Yes, that was rathor a nasty cut at
thetine," he began. "I came by it
during the last hour of the ride, soon
after we hed sighted the town lights,
and, strange enough, it wasn't from
a bullet at all—not one of them had
touched me all night—but it came from
the ibrol>en lantern of the last man
that fell, As the fellow pitched from
the saddle he swung his lantern, across
him, and the glass of it struck me in
the face and 'burst to pieces.
"That was bank in -no, it wasn't
either. Let's see, now, it was some
years after we stole that gunboat I
told you of, but I've forgotten'.. when
that was, too. Well, it isn't of much
consequence, anyway.. ' I was one of
the intelligouoe ,officers in the service
of. the Indkin government, and just be-
far'e;sundown that evening' the colonel
cane up to me
SORT OF LANGUID -LIKE,
a, way he had; when he didn't want to
let on he was excited.. 1 never knew
a man .that tried ao hard to be digni-
fied.,
"'We've got important dispatches to
carry down to headquarters to -night,'
said he. 'See that the horses' ironshoes
are replaced by the leathers, and be
on band yourself" at 9 o'clock. The
orders are that we've got to get the
papers through by day light.'
listened to the bard. breath of the
horses and the singing slugs; There
wasn't any talking. We were star-
ing before us, straight in front, try-
ing to raise the town, beyond the sky, -
line, and waiting always for to see
who'd catch it nest.
"Thee we ' began to feel . that the
horses • were playing out beneath us,
and with the breathing spells growing
longer and more often, the niggers
gained. ' The next man was shot dead:,
and we didn't have to shut our teeth_
for him, But over and aver again it
happened just the same ; the soft
grunting, the swaying in the saddle,
that horrible choking thud as he
struck the ground, and the rest of us
jabbing our horses like wild men to
get as far away from him as we could.
he We had set out, you see, to carry the
air papers through—we had to do it—and
od by the time we lifted the town lights
over the horizon there were three of
w- us, riding abreast. Then the last
man dropped. 'Twas his lantern that.
caught me in the face. • Things got
funny after that, The colonel said 1
was talking silly, when we got in.
Well, I scarcely think the company is
paying me to stand round here idling
and spinning yarns like this. I'll see
you again sometime."
And the officer passed forward along
the deck to disappear in the thick
darkness, that had; settled down ober
the ship. ,
"We had other orders besides these,
sort of special orders that weren't
written down anywhere, but none of
us were likely to forget them, or we
didn't speak about' them much among
ourselves. You see, the government,
wanted those dispatches to go through,
.and. if . a man. dropped .out. of the run-
ning—well, it was exceedingly bad luck
for him,.„ that's ' a :ll ,.t1ie . •rest of us

"There. wasn't -any moon that night,
but the sky was clear, which was
good -thing you see, . for we only had
stars to go lay„ and if we once got off
the track' we'd go wandering round
the, desert till we died.. Prompt at
o'clo_k we "started. Thera were twely
of us. The colonel took. the lead.—he
was an old hand at the game --and I
took up the rear guard, behind. ..-Be-
tween us rode the; sergeant and nine
troopers. We passed the sentry just
as taps was' sounded In the "stillness.
Then we lit the lanterns, which we
carried on the end of lances;' swinging
out over the horses' heads, and jogged
out slowly into the desert.

light draught of wind blowing in from
somewhere, and all around the desert

angling of the bits made it worse, The
nterns, too, they ,made us all look
unny, swinging gently at the end of

olonei had a ;lotion about; those lea-
rns.. He said the niggers 'could see.

ABOUT KISSES.
In France there are thousands of
opportunities for plentiful kissing.
Brothers kiss sisters, 'husbands. kiss
wives, friends each other. It would,
even. be thought prudish should a
young lady refuse to offer her cheek
for kiss to a friead of the family
opt tris departure or return after a
Jong absence.
In. England kissing among members
oi+, a 'family is less common. Men nev-
er "kiss One another. Still more re-
trained are they in Scotland, where.
a woman would consider it beneath) d
leer dignity i,f she kissed her-ggrown-
up, sons, and mothers are sparing of J
caresses even for their little boys. t•
Int noi,bhern lands the- kiss is, re d
served exclusively for love, (probably $
liar the reason that people there al- 11 f
al -
this expression of affection the char-
acter of great intimacy. It is oompre-
fairly d
h,ensible, under such circumstances;
that young girls should bravely de -
tend their rosy lips against the at-
tacks of bold cousins, and t'he'steal
iavg of a kiss iliauld be looked upon
by ibe law as a -punishable .offence;' 1•

The definition ,of a kiss by a Chinese
is interesting. A mandarin, who tra-

of learning the European customs, was
greatly 'pierplexed':in trying to explain
a kiss—a thing unknown to.his noun-
tee'.

try P
'',The.•kiss," .he w -rites; 'es an act
of courtesy, consisting of°bringing the
lips of one person into contact with
the chis of another;_ whereby a sound
is •produced."
Kissing,. however, is not a privilege
reserved exclusively to love. There are.
occasions when it is prescribed.by•
court etiquette. On the -occasion of
9, the Crown. Prince of Greece's wedding d
e the bride,' Princess Sophie of Prussia,
the Kaiser's sister, was obliged to be
show, nu' leas than 150 kisses.. '
'ilhe King of Greece required three
kisses; so did .his, Queen; so did the
Empress Frederick and the ging and
Queen of Denmark and Kaiser Wil -
'helm and the Princess; while all the
Princes and Princesses present receiv-
ed one kiss apiece. The poor Crown
Princess,. on leaving the church, must
have had all the. kissing she wanted,'
and probably, had but few kisses left
for the weddiing journey.

recovered quickly, however, and in the
course of a few days was as well ae he
had ever been.
To no one was the immediate effect
of the operation more apparent than
to Judge Prendergast• himself. For
months he had been sinking gradually
and had almost came to giving up all
hope. The diminution of his blood
laid left him with little or no strength,
veli and just before the. transfusion he was
the so feeble t was with difficulty that he
could even raise his head from the

to he realized fully what a sacrifice his
7 s- protege had made. lie alone could
appreciaj;e how . clese he had been to

re- had pomp to him he once more had
ea hope of 'being well again, But it' all
ended in•. disappointment. The opera -
°n ion itself was singularly sueoessful,
of but it had' come too late, The dis-
ease had gone toe far; and through
r, the lack of blood the Judge's whole
system -had been wasted to such a
is degree, the restoration of the Jost tie-

sad transfusion was a prolongation^ of the

a man like Morrissey,but all he un

one thing that had. been denied to the
Judge. The . strength of mind, which

BROUGHT HER A FORTUNE.
A short time ago° a man died in
Brussels leaving dearly, hia entire for-
tune to a young woman w/ao was un-
tirely unacquainted with him. 'This
is how it came to pass. He was a very
eccentric man, and set out,. like
Diogenes, in search: oft an honesg man.
His tub was an omnibus ' and his
lantern a small c.oin.
In the omnibus, he teok his seat'
every day near the comeuctor and, ale
wayg, showed himself very obliging
in passing no the money of passeng-
ers and returning the, change; but to
the latter he always managed' to add
a, franc or a half franc. Then he
wouid watch those to whom it dame.
They would count it carefully, notice
the extra coin and invariably slip it
into their pockets. No one thought
of the poor conductor, whose meager
salary of only three francs a day could
ill support such a loss.
But at last a young woman passed
hers back, with: "Conductor, you
have given me half a franc too much. '
Diogenes, delighted, followed her home,
made inquiries, made his will in her
favor ; though he never gave her warn-
ing that her half franc wag going to

THE OPERATION.
The ttansfusion of the blood from
the arm of Morrissey to that of his
friend and benefattor was acconiplish-
ed 'under the personal direction of Dr.
Andrew 5, Cooey, chief surgeon of the
Chicago Hospital, and one of the most
promitent practitioners in the West.
An incision was made in the right arm
of the young man and a tube insert-
ed in the large artery. The other •end
of the tube yeas inserted in a similar
incision in judge Prendergast's arm,
and the blood, was gently pumped
through from the one to the other.
