TonnrLMliM Adorned With UtIbj jewels—Table and Ball Boom Etiquette—A Very Queer Custom in Regard to Donicotic Affairs.

The government at Bogota extends inducement* to citizens of the United States to niako the country their home. Grants of good land are offered for their acceptance, provided there is an intention to settle permanently. But for climatic influences New ^jfrenada would be one of the most desirable 'Tplqcea for an emigrant in the westworld. But the people are withit energy, enterprise or public spirit, because nature provides bountifully for almost every want. Everything is manana {to morrow). Their indebtedness to England jnc is more than $40,000,000. and there is it the least prospect of its payment. Since tie emancipation of their slaves, in 1852, labor cannot bo controlled. The form of government is nearly like that of the United -States, only more democratic. The church has lost its old time power. A three months' stay at Carthagena, awaiting an opportunity to obtain a native boat of about fifty tons, with sufficient crew, gave one time to study the language, manners and customs. The Spanish language and Roman Catholic religion are universal. Among the better class were some accomplished pianists and singers.

The troubadours, with their mandolins, could be heard every evening, and during the later liours of the night the

uAve

Maria" of some

belated lover would sound out of tho quietness. The people are not rich, and some are •obliged to resort to expedients to keep up appearances.

LLVIJFO JEWELS.

All the old families have more or leas servants, their former slaves or their descendants, to whom no wages are paid and who Jive in the lowest story of tho house and provide for themselves in same mysterious way. The young ladies make up dulccs or sweet meats, which are taken out on trays by the servants and sold. The money obtained in this way is faithfully banded to the senorita of the bouse, who purchases the delicate fabric and pretty ribbons 'or the new dress, as she dare not make her appearance in tho one previously worn. How lovely these dresses are ornamented at night with the cacullos (koo-koo-yas), the largo and brilliant firefly of the jungles of the interior. When the cacullo is lively it is the most beautiful of jewels in effect. These fire beetles are about the size of the large "Goidstnith" beetle of the eastern states, but should not be confounded with the Brazilian beetle, that is frequently seen incased in gold. In the evening, Just before dark, thero is a very short twi ^/light in the tropics. A coal of flre is waved

At the edge of the jungle where tho cacullo lives. The loetles flock to the light and arc easily knocked down into tho grasB, from whence they are pickod up and put into a joint of sugar cane, where they get fat and lively and are ready for use when wanted. The effect produced by trimming a mull dress with cacullos, which emit a strong and uniform light of an eridnscent greenish character, is very striking. Young ladies also attach two or more oacullos to tho knot of haty at the back of the head. After the ball these jowels are carefully reimprisonod in the sugar cane until wanted again.

TAT1L.K AND BAM. ETIQintTTK. At the commencement of tho dessert the ladies rise and retii-e, but just before doing so a coal of fire is placed on the table and tho young lady opposite the male guest deftly rolls up a cigarette and lights it, given two or throo whiffs, and then with grace removes it from hor lips to those of her male vis-a-vin. I attended many balls without introduction, and approached any lady who struck my fanoy and solicited her band for wait*. They seemed to think it all right, it gives tlu'in an opportunity to flirt. One van sny a great many fluttering things with tint offending. Warmth of expression is looked upon as a compliment to the beauty of your partner, who is never displeased—at loast she never shows it. Singular to say, tho samo young lady may be met, liall after bull, and rocreivo your advances with approval. but she will not recognizo you on tlu» strcot. I never could induce any one of tho ladies of tho house where I lodged to walk out on the walls (the promenade). I was told it was contrary to the custom of the country and would compromise the lady, and yot, I felt sure, the lady would have given the world to marry an American.

QUKEK CUSTOM.

After many vexatious delays I was informed that my boat would be ready manana. The cargo wns all on board, consisting principally of cocoanuts and whisky and #75,000 in coin, intended for the purchase of gold dust and platina. The coin consisted of five frano pieces furnished by tho bank of France. Tho rrew was all complete but one man, who would bo on hand in time. Manana came, but not the man, and so it was for several days. I then began to scold, but wrath was of no use. I said: "Patron, what is the mattert" "Well, sir," he replied, "the man has not yet completed his domestic arrangements." At tho same time bo looked at me very significantly. I did not understand. "Havo all the others made satisfactory domestic arrangements!" 1 asked, fie saw that I did not catch on. He then informed me that it wns customary for the sailor husbands to arrange with somo other man to live with and comfort their wivea while tuey wona awny on a voyage of perhaps two months, for a consideration of perhaps two dimes a day), to bo paid by the husbands. In the caso of iuy lost man his substitute wanted three dimes a day. taking advantage of tho •carcity of men at the time, but eventually this delicate matter was arbitrated satisfactorily and all became serene.—Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

Advice to Yankee Toarlata. In view of tho.fact that there will be an even greater influx of Americans into England this yvar than for many years, by reason of the jubUco and the American exhibition, a word of advice to some of the intending tourists may not be amiss. If you follow it you will have a better time yourself and you will help to make our people popular. Don't come to England prepared to find faulfr with everything you see or that people hero da It is just as well to stop and think how you would like it yourself if every Englishman that came to America told you how much better, in his opinkm at hast, tbey do things hero. Don't tell every Englishman you meet that our railway carriages are better, that our food is better, that our houses are warmer, etc. It may be true, but it don't make your •ociety the more pleasant to people who have hospitable intention* toward you. A man may have a wart on his nose, but it doesn't improve his temper to have bis attention called to the fact daily. Remember, ynu come of your own free will, and if you don't like it you can go borne, and you needn't oome again, but you'll have a better time here, and like it better, if you follow this hint.—London Letter.

The Most Favorable Time for the Chaee. Preparation of the Horses—TUe Guns In Tie

The time most favorable for ostrich hunting is when there is the greatest heat. The higher the temperature the leas is the ostrich ablo to defend itself. The Arab says that when a man stands upright and his shadow is only the length of his foot is the exact time to hunt. Each horseman is accompanied by a servant, called "zemmal." He is mounted on a camol carrying four goat skins filled with water, and barley for the horse, wheat flour for the rider, some dates, a kettle in which to cook the foocty and everything which can possibly be required for the repairing of the harness. in- easfe of accident. The horseman wears a linen vest and trousers, and covers his neck and ears with alight material called "havuli," which is tied with a strip of camol'a hide. His feet are protected by sandals and his legs by light gaiters/called "trabag.' He has neither gun nor pistol, bis only weapon being a wild oltfe or tamarind stick,, five or six feet long, with .a heavy knob at onoend.

BEGINNING TIIE JOUI&KY.

Before starting off the hunters ascertain where a large number of ostriches are to be found. They are generally met with in places where there is a great deal of grass and rain has recently fallen. The hunters commence their journey early in the morning. After one or two days' traveling, when they have arrived near tho desired spot and they begin to see traces of their game, they halt and camp. After settling, two intelligent slaves aro sent out to reconnoiter. They carry a goat skin at their sido and a little bread. They walk on until they find the ostriches, which are genorally on elevated places. As soon as the game is in view one lies down to watch and the other returns to convey the information to the camp. Tho birds aro found in troops consisting often of as many as sixty. The horsemen, guided by the scout, travel cautiously toward tho game. The nearer they approach the spot the greater is their caution, and when they reach the last ridge which hides thorn from the ostriches they dismount and creep forward to ascertain whether the birds are still them If such is the case a moderate quantity of water is given to the horses and each man mounts again and proceeds. The servants and camels follow a little distance behind, carrying with them com and water.

The horsemen divide and form a circle around tho ostriches at Buch a distanco as not to be noticed by them. Tho servants halt when tho horsemen separate, and as soon as they see their masters in position they walk right before their prey. Tho ostriches flee, but aro met by tho hunters, who at first only drive them back into the circlo. They are mado to run around tho ring, and in this way their strength is exhausted. At tho first sign of fatigue in tho birds tho horsemen dash in and tho flock separates. Tho nfTri~bted birds open their wings, which is a sigr. of groat exhaustion, and tho hunter, now feeling sure of his prey, selocts his bird and runs it down nd finishes it with a blow on the head with tho olive stick.

THE CAPTL'RED GAME.

Tho moment the bird falls the man quicfcly dismounts and cuts its throat, taking care to hold the head n» somo distance from the body so as not to soil the plumage. It is said the male bird uttci's loiul moans while dying, but lb» female dios in silence. When tho ostrich is on tho )xint of bci:i~ taken by the hunter, if he does not wish to Jail it bo can cosily drive it with the stick to where the camel is, it is in such an exhausted condition. After tho birds are bled to death they are carefully skinned, so that the feathers may not become injured, and the skin is stretched upon a treo or a horse and salt is well rubbed into it Then a Ore is built and the fat of the bird is boiled for along time. When it is very liquid it is (mured into bottles made of the skin of the thigh and leg and strongly fastened at the bottom. Tho fat of one bird is generally sufficient to fill two of these cases, and it is said the fat would spoil in any other vessel After the trying out proems the flesh is prepared luid eaten by the hunters, who dress it well with pepper and flour. W bile all this is going on the horses are carefully tended, watered and fed with corn, and the party remains quiet for forty-eight hours to rest the animals. After that they return to the camp or seek more game.

To the Arab the chase of tho ostrich has a double attraction—that of pleasure and of profit. The price obtained for tho skins well compensates for the expense. Not only do tho rich enjoy the pursuit, but the poor, who know how to arrange for it, as well The usual plan is for a poor Arab to bargain with some one who is well to do for the use of his horse, camel, harness ami two-thirds of the necessary provisions. The borrower furnishes the remaining third, and the result of Ih* chase is divided in the same proportion.— Boston Herald.

The Capture.

With the Arabs of the dwelt the cboso and capture of the ostrich is the most attractive and aristocratic of the many diversions in which they indulge. The first thing attended to when a hunt is contemplated is the preparation of the horses: They are entirely deprived of grass and fed on barley for seven or eight days before the intended hunt. They are allowed to drink only once a day, and that at sunset at that timo they are also washed. They take long exercises, and great attention is paid to the arrangement of the harness. The Arab says that after seven or eight days the stomach of the horse disappears, while the chest, the breast and croup remain in flesh. The animal is then in condition to endure fatigue. This training is called "teehaha." The harness used in this hunting is much lighter than that in ordinary use, especially the saddle and the stirrups, and tho martingale is dispensed with. The bridle also undergoes many changes, the mounting and ear laps being taken away, as they are considered too heavy. The bit and frontlet are made of rope, without throatband, and the reins, though very strong, are extremely light.

HUNTING OSTRICHES. THE FIELD TELEGRAPH. PASSING AN OUTPOST.

CAPTURES BIG GAME. WERE EXPOSED DURING THE WAR. THE CONFEDERATES.

A Warning Jut la he Nick of Time. Fart Flayed by a Planter's Private Wire—Tapping the Enemy's Wires.

Balding. The Union armies in the west, in advancing, left behind them a vast stretch of country infested by guerrillas and exposed to formidable raids by the cavalry of Wheeler and Forrest.

The operators in Tennessee and Kentucky were always in danger of surprise and capture. Although they were non-combatants, the Confederates would not consent to treat them as civilians. Hence it happened that over seven per cent, of the operators in the service were carried off at one time or another to Libby prison or Anderson ville. Sometimes, however, the warning would como from the next station just in the nick of time. "Guerrillas are coming." Sometimes the cutting of the wires would advise the man at the key that some* thine was wrong. In such cases the only thing for the operator to do was to smash the battery, disengage the instrument, take it under his arm, jump out the window and start for the woods.

In 1864, just about the time of the fall of Atlanta, Gen. Hood sent Wheeler with a large body of cavalry into Tennessee to destroy the depots of supplies along the railroad from Louisville to Nashville and Chattanooga. To mislead the Union forces it was given out that the expedition was bound for eastern Kentucky. This was, in fact, the course for a time but once across the border of Tennessee, Wheeler turned sharply to the left and headed for Murfreesboro, where there was a Union garrison. Two telegraph operators, James Jones and James Palmer, stationed at Jacksboro, took turns at the instrument^ and in the Interval scouted the country in search of Wheeler. Palmer fell in with him, and being in civilian's dress passed himself off for a farmer. He was compelled to ride with the cavalry for some hours and then allowed to go. Cantering slowly until out of sight of the moving column, Palmer headed for the office at a breakneck pace. "Jim," said he, as soon as he could dismount, "I fell in with Wheeler's cavalry and managed to get a clew. They are not bound for Kentucky at all, but for Murfreesboro, Tenn. Call up the operator at once." -jvA"Click! Click!" No answer.

Those fellows must have cut the line on the other side of Winters' Gap. Try the Louisville circuit." This proved to be all right, and Wheeler found Gen. Rousseau waiting anxiously for him on his arrival, and his forces—thanks to the boys at Jacksboro— were dispersed and driven into Alabama.

Thero was an instance on the other side of the same kind. About 100 miles above Vicksburg lived a planter, who was a noted poker player. He bad for his convenience a private telegraphic line running down the bank of the river to the city below. One night while he was having a little quiet game with a friend be thought he heard a steamboat. Rushing to the door he was astounded to see the river for miles and miles alive with gunboats and transports. He rushed to the instrument at once: "Vicksburg! Vickburgl for God's sake get ready! Millions of 'Yanks' are floating by my plantation." This was Sherman's expedition from Memphis on the way to the fruitless assault upon the Chickasaw bluffs, near the Yazoo river. The Union forces had hoped to surprise the garrison, but the planter's (private wire had let the eat out of the bog. When the newB arrived at Vicksburg most of the officers were at a party. In the midst of a quadrille came the growling undertone of the long roll from the batteries on the heights.

Tho tapping of the wires was resorted to by both sides during the war. This was an extremely hazardous proceeding. Any one caught in the act would, of course, be executed at once as a spy. Ellsworth, a noted opemtor attached to the command of John Morgan, was very expert at this business. He always carried a pocket instrument which he could attach to the main line. By the aid of this he could be put in circuit without opening or breaking the current. During one of Morgan's raids the operator at Gallatin, Tenn., was captured before he could give a danger signal by wire. Ellsworth took his place, and for several hours deceived the other offices. Ho reported the track clear from guerrillas, in order that trains might be sent along, which would, of course, have been captured. Fortunately an old operator, who knew Ellsworth's touch well, happened tc take bis seat at the key board and instantly recogniaed him. Ellsworth was so accomplished an operator that he was able to cutfa wire, place the two ends against his tongue, and by the vibrations read all messages coming over the lines.

It is said that when Hooker was preparing to cross the Rappahannock on the eve of Chancellorsville there was reason to suspect that Gen. Lee was getting too much news. Investigation discovered a cable resting upon the bed of the river, crossing it and connected with an underground insulated wire on shore. This was traced to a small house opposite Fredericksburg. The operator at the Federal end of the line was discovered and arrested, and has not been seen since.

When Stoneman, Sheridan, WQsou, Rousseau and other cavalry leaders were raiding in the enemy's country it was tho custom to cut down telegraph poles, chop them into stove lengths, and twist the wires into Gordion knots. An operator named O'Reilly, attached to Gen. GriersonV command during the Mississippi raid, hit upon a very simple plan which rendered the telegraph lines useless and at the samo time left them standing. This puzzled the Confederates for a long time. O'Reilly now and then cut the wires, inserted between the ends a non-conducting substance, and then welded the ds together. Apparently the wires were good as new. but they couldn't be made to work.—Chicago Herald.

FEDERAL SCOUT CAUGHT BY

Making Slow Progress on Hands and Kneee—Attacked by an Enraged Mother. In a Scrape—Caught by the Enemy,

IJbby Prison.'.

While Sheridan and Early faced each other in the neighborhood of Winchester there were times when the respective pickets traded tobacco and newspapers, and other times when they shot to kill each other. I was on picket duty up to twenty-four hours before the battle opened, and the reason I did not assist in driving Early beyond Winchester was due to a singular cause. Tho wily Confederate chieftain knew that we contemplated some movement, and there was an aggressive spirit all around the front His scouts were pushing up to our lines after information, and it was plain that he did not intend to be caught napping.

Two days before the battle, I being then with the reserve picket at the'front, three of us were detailed or ordered to push forward beyond the outposts in the direction of where the Confederates were supposed to be throwing up earthworks. We took different directions from the start, but all had the cover of the woods. The Confederate outpost was not more than musket shot from my point of departure, and the hour was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I was to go as near as possible— pass the outpost if I could. It was probable that Confederate scouts were. thick enough along the front, and I figured that my chances for securing information were not half as good as my chances for being knocked over

01*

made prisoner.

Before I was a stone's throw from the Union outpost I was on my hands and knees and carefully making my way forward. I did not care so much for the outpost, for he would have a permanent place, but the Confederate scouts would be moving here and there, and they were as crafty as Indians. I got along much better tban I anticipated, however. I crept within sixty feet of the outpost, who was leaning on^his-gen an*smoking his pipe, and I had passed him by 200 feet, and was flanking an old log, when, as I turned the end of it, I came full upon a sow with five or six pigs., All were lying down and seemingly asleep except one little pig. They were between the two armies, and probably belonged to some farmer who had a guard about his premises. The guard had probably been withdrawn that day, or had become negligent aad allowed the pigs to wander away. Tho old one had rooted over a large space of ground before she lay down, and the little ones were covered with mud from snout to tail.

The instant I turned the log the single wakeful pig saw me and raised a clatter which started the rest up, and then I was in a scrape. The little ones would have run away, but the old one didnt propose to put up with the intrusion. She bristled up and rushed around and made such a noise that I know the attention of the Confederate outpost would be attracted. I drew back behind the log, but my apparent cowardice enraged the hog, and I had to leap to my feet and seize a club to prevent her attacking me. Had she left me then I might have got out of the trouble, but she would not go. She kept menacing me so vigorously that I had to stand on the defensive, and I was on the log and waving the club at her when half a dozen Confederates came running up through the woods and I was made prisoner. It was bad enough to be captured, but they guyed me unmeroi/ully about the way of it, and I was only too glad when I was sent back to their main line to be packed oft to Libby prison.— Detroit Free Press.

A Mistaken Chicken.

"Speaking of chickens," remarked a gentleman, "I used to have a cream colored ban tam that was gamer than any of your game chickens. He would fight anything op earth I have seen him stampede a drove of cattle going along the road by flying in a cow's fade. I have seen him tackle a horse. He never was whipped. Bigger chickens always flew over him, but he never failed to hit. He's dead now. He killed himself." "How was that?" some one asked. "Well, you know when Barnunirs show came through here it bad wagons with large minors on their sides. One of these wagons pasftvi my house and the little bantam was sitting on the fence. Ho saw his reflection in the wagon and flew at it, striking the glass tike a bullet He must have broken every bone in his game little body."—Atlanta Constitution.
