From the administrative report of th'3 Andaman Islands for the past official year, which has recently been issued in Calcutta, it appears mat tne aoongmes of the archipelago are disappearing so rapidly that Mr. Portman states the present generation may be considered as the last of tne great Anuaman tnoe. aji the people of Rutland Island and Port Campbell are now dead and very few remain in the South Andamans. Apart from the mortality from infections diseases, it is said that the few children who are now lxrn do not survive. Mr. Portman is endeavoring to keep the tribe alive as long as possible, and he is collecting all the children at his house, where they are well fed and cared for; but thi3 can onlj' postpone for a short time the extinction of the race. For many centuries the people lived comjdetely isolated from the rest of the world, but, like the Pacific islanders, th&v seem unable to withstand contact with external civilization. Galignani'3 Messenger. Kept General Grant's Horses. Sixtv Ions vears, with their sunshine and shadow, have passed since Mr. John T. Price, the well known livery man, first saw the light of day, and all day Mondav he was kept busy receiving congratulations on his golden jubilee. Mr. Price was born in Alexandria on April 11, 1S32. Having been in business at his present stand for twenty-seven years he is tull of reminiscence s f great Americans who patronized his fiiors. Among these was General Grant, who came in one, davand said: Price. I want to take a spin over thy road today. Let me have ono of your fastest trotters." When the general returned lie was profuse in his praise of the horse he had driven, and said: "Price, that fellow was chain light ning itself." General Grant's Arabian steeds, pre sented to him by the sultan of Turkey, were placed in Mr. Price s care when they first came here. Washington Post. Outer Earthquake Efleets. An old sheep herder who dwells in a secluded f.;.t in the Sutter county buttea made his annual visit to this city Wednesday, iind from him we learn of sorjo phenomenal and interesting cir cumstances as a result of the earthquake of Tuesday morning. The lonely camp of the old bhepherd is far up iu 'ii.ebnttes.and is surrounded with cliffs densely covered with massive rocks and lnwlders, which have with stood the storms of ages and furnished mills for tin- aborigines to grind their !corns iind manr. inita berries into Hour from li e remotest antiquity. TP.;-' Id h rder had just emerged from his cabin on this memorable morn, and was gathering kindling with which to prepare his morning meal before turning hi.-. Hock o::l the range for their day's forage, and th" wonderful sight he wit nessed will never bu forgotten. When the trembling bcran numerous sparks of a bright blue r began issuing from the rocks, rinsed by the friction as they were to.-se.l t ami fro by the surging ! earth. As th tremors increased the i number of sparks did likewise, until at 'one time the hillsides appeared as one ! sheet of fire with millions of sparks dart- ing here and there as if dancing for joy. ; As the trembling subsided the? sparks ! gradually disappeared, and in a moment I all was total darkness. Shortly after the sun had started on its journey in the eastern horizon the attention of the old shepherd was at tracted by the great branches of trees which had fallen to the ground, and those which remained intact seemed to horrify the wild birds, as they would attempt to alight, and then, with a frightened scream, would pass rapidly on, only to repeat the caper at the next tree. An investigation proved that mil lions of lizards and snakes had taken refuge in the trees during their fright and had become so numerous on the projecting branches that they were forced to succumb to the immense weight and fell to the ground. This is the onlv instance of damage reported in Yuba or Sutter county.-KMarysviiie (Cal.) Democrat. HOW THEY CARRY THEIR MONEY. Unarilng Character r Pefl In Hie j rtirkrtlMtukft Tliey l'e.

An eminent "menagerist" lives in a suburb where forty trains pass his garden every hour. The weather was cold, coals were ex pensive, for the recent strike was just then at its height. The "menagerist," however, was a man of resource; he conceived a plan for utilizing the forty trains an hour. From his menatrerie in town he bronsrht a largo Barbary ape, which un fortunate animal was chained to the top of a pole at the end of the garden. The result was as pleasant as owning a col liery, without any wages to pay or fear of floods and explosions. Every stoker and occasionally a driver on every train that passed had a shot with a lump of coal at the Barbary ape. The B. A. was never hit, but the garden was littered with coal, which the "menager ist" triumphantly conveyed to his cel lars.

An old member of a well known Bres lau institution sent on the 13th of May, 1891, a post card from Cassel, addressed to "Dr. Emin Pacha, in German East Africa." The card contained a poetical allusion to the great traveler, and was signed hy a number of other members of the institute. It arrived at Zanzibar on the 14th of June, 1891, and at Baga- moyo on the lGth of that month. The post cartf was then sent back to Dar-es-Salaain, where it arrived on the 12th of March of this year, and received the fol lowing official comment: "Ans dem In nem zuruck. Emin nicht erreichbar." (Returned from the interior. Emin not attainable.) On the 5th of May this same iost card found its way back to Cassel and is now in the hands of the sender.

His roll is never large. but ho has enough on hand to meet any emergency. "The clubmen invariably carry a rod if clean five dollar bills in their vest pocket, where they can be easily reached. Some carry only gold. James Crown Potter favors gold, and usually carries a few quarter eagles m a small silver case, into which the coins tit without rattling. Lispenard Stewart usually has a roll of new bills in his vest pocket.

"The farmer on an excursion to 'Bos- ting' counts up the price of a ticket in quarters and halves from a tan colored leather pouch tliat is tied up wun a string run through small slits near the top. The seafaring man on his way to his home on the Maine coast carries the proceeds of his last trip in a calfskin wallet. It has been handed down from his father, or perhaps his grandfather. for it is black and shiny with age. It j has a long strap passed through a num ber of cross 6traps. The cross sections seldom have more in them than tobacco dust or a frayed tax receipt that shows that he owns a house. But in the cen ter of the wallet is a place where bills may be laid out straight and covered with a calfskin flap from either Bide. "The man who carries change in hid coat pockets has been a car conductor at some time or other. The fellow who draws ten cent pieces from every pocket in his clothes is a peanut man or vender of small wares. "The women, too, have a variety of ways to carry their money, though their lack of pockets limits their vagaries in that direction. The young woman with fluffy hair, who has the price of her ticket rolled tightly in her palm, has a mvsterious storage place for money somewhere. When she is not spending it she puts it where no man will ever go after it, but the place is accessible to her slim fingers in a second." Ne w York Press. uil tf.MiK...vJ tr-. a:r.

She harvested the crop with a pair of shears and sowed the amount received the next year, again har vesting it with her shears.

"Joe" Jones, one of Sam's numerous 1 brothers, has enlisted in the ministry. His first sermon was preached in a coun try church at Pine Log before a large congregation of farmers, backwoodsmen and crackers. Sam's methods were fol Imvpd with considerable success, but when Joe branched off on his own hook he struck a snag. He caused his hearers to wince when, slapping the Bible nearly off the pulpit, ho exclaimed: "A man what will cuss a oath'll steal!" There was a lively shifting among the pews and much cautious looking around and head shaking. Joe saw, and deter mined to push his point. "Brethren and sisters," he repeated, '1 want to say to you that a man what will cuss a oath'll steal! What have you got to say to that." An aged cracker arose at the back of the church and, fastening his glittering gray eye on Joe, drawled through his nose: "All 1 got ter say is it's er gol dern lie!" Joe was so discouraged that he rested on his oars two weeks before making any more bold assertions. New York Tribune. Registration In Germany.
