Venezuela first made declaration of its independence in 1810. The present republic was formed in 1830, in the same year that Belgium be came an independent monarchy. The rival political parties in Veneo zuela are the Unionist and the Fed eralists. Tho former favor a cen tralized government; the latter are for hom9 rule. Both are opposed to foreign invioti, encroachment, or confiscition. . The army of Venezuela, on a pece footing, consists of l,0o0 horsemen, 4,000 infantry soldiers, and 1,000 artillerymen, exclusive of the local' militia and irregular troops.

There is also a Federal district, corr esponding to ithe District of Go lumbia, and there are several outly ing Territories.

To the west of it ia the republic of Colom bia, to the south is Brazil, to the east are tbe' territorial possessions of thrAe European Governments combined under tbe geographical name of Guiana, The furthest away from Venezuela is French Guiana, a territory of 146,000 square miles and 25,000 population, the chief city of which is Cayenne, whence comes the pepper, and to which French criminals convicted of serious ofxences are transrjorted. Next nearest to Venezuela, but not touching it at any point, is Dutch Guiana, a territory of almost exactly the same size as the French colony, but haying a population twice as large. Paramaribo is the chief town. Next, and adjacent to Venezuela, is Britibh Guiasa, the size of which is in dispute. Annual Meeting.

A searching party was formed at once. The negro was found near the spot v here the crime occurred. He confessed his guilt, and begged the child's father to "l3t him off." The negro was carried to Mr. Wooley's house. Mr. Wooley took his shot gun, and started to blew the rapist's brains out. But his wife stayed his hand. He put up the gun and let the law take its course All that night Baldwin wag kept in Mr, Wooley'n own house, guarded from those who threatened to hang mm to the nearest tree.

A glancs and my eyes fell upon so nething human minus the form leclining on a couch enjoying a siesta. This thing or being is a puzzle to scientists as well aj a wobder to all other less informed peopk. When the requisite number of fpec ators had assembled the enchanting strains of the organ faded away so suddenly there was a vacant hole in tha air. Then this monarch cf wonders turned hie attention to hia anditors and in a low sepulcher tone of voice in effect said : "I was born in old Virginny, I am 48 years of age and haye been laying as you Bee me for 38 years." Having said this he waived his tongue towards a pile of 5 cent booi8 and again lapeed, into a state of "inocuous disuetude."

Every one has an explanation but after having read through the sec ond and eleventh -oIumns of the Britanica I am satisfied tbat this phenomenon can be explained on no other hypothesis than that in early youth he too frequently bathed in the limped waters of a certain branch in Sampson county. The properties of these waters are such that any substance remaining in it a certain time will petrify" or turi to stone.
