The Eight Rev, H. M. Turner, colored bishop of Georgia, has written a letter to the American Government advocating the adoption of Senator Butler's Bill for colonizing Africa with American negroes. He says a million blacks have discovered to their cost that, as far as they are con cerned, the American nation ia a failure. He adds : " Either this nation cannot or -will not protect a man who is not a white. No court in. America has given a decision in favonr.-of a .negvo in 12 years. The Supreme Court is an organised mob i against him- Senator Butler's Bill will enable 1,000,000 negroes to go where they can work out their own destiny. Africa is the future home of the elevated and cultivated negro. It is a giant continent, and an Eden on earth, and it will become the sanitary, commercial, and evancelioal heart.of the globe." ' Animals are as sneceptible of joy or of terror as Jmen. What ia very strangely ! and newly tremendous is therefore quite apt to upset their nervous systems. Thus, when a horse, the property of Messrs Winter and Co., of Gravesend, quietly engaged in doing its duty by dragging a load of coal at Swanscombe, met Messrs Wombell's procession of elephants it was naturally alarmed. One of the big beasts, however, flourished its trunk, and the horse upon observing this— to it appalling phenomenon, fell down {dead. As every one knows, a kind or unkind word affects seriously tbe heart's action of a dog or, a/ horse- There is nothing astonishing, therefore, in a strange sight having fatal cardiac influence; and we learn that other horses, besides that of Messrs Winter and Co., wereupset through seeing the elep hanta. Wombell's men agerie was sued for £50 at Dartford' County Court and Messrs Winter obtained £25 and coats.
