One of the largest real estate opera tions of modern times was concluded last Monday by the transfer of a mil lion square miles of African territory to Great Britain. This tract equal to a thousand miles square was acquired by what is called a purchase, the seller being the British East Africa Com pany. England has been the greatest land-grabber of all the ages, and has also been the most skillful colonizer. The student of history, centuries hence, will find few things more re markable than the territorial acquisi sition of that V'snug little island.' They embrace vast areas in Asia, Af rica, North and South America and Australasia, not to mention smaller holdings all round the globe and each constituting, by a carefully arranged plan of defence or offence, a 'part of one stupendous whole." Although the folly of George III rim his govern ment and the patriotism of our Revo lutionary fathers caused England to part with hiueh of her North American dofiiain, she still holds a larger section of this continent than that which is under the Stars and Stripes. The Bos ton Post, noticing the East African transfer, says: "It is a characteristic transaction. The British trader, colonist, speculator, pushes out ahead and occupies land to which he has no right. The Brit ish government follows to "protect' its citizens first, then to absorb the terri tory which they have occupied. In this case it pays its own citizens for the land they have appropriated, from the African tribes. Sometimes it takes the land from its original owners for its own citizens. "This is the way Groat Britain ac quired India. Tlie East Africa Com pany is only a feeble imitation ot the East -India Company. 'This is the way Great Britain acquired the South Af- rican possessions. 1 ne green o: ter ritory which characterizes the British race i-s ts most persistent and jower ful trait. Undoubtedly3 this has done much toward spreading civi ligation through the world. But the secondary benefits cannot excuse the original act."

Washington Post. N TME president's FAHILY made BY THE ARRIVAL OF A GIRL BABY. Ruth Is Now Four Year Old and Esther Tw An Open Secret That a Boy Baby Would Not Have Been Unwelcome. Buzzards Bay., July 7. Just before five o'clock this evening news reached the village that a girl baby had been born Kt Gray Gables.

Mrs. Cleveland's mother is ex pected to arrive from Buffalo next week. - Bull Fights at Atlanta. It has .been definitely" decided to have a bull fight at the Cotton States and International Exposition. It will be given in the Mexican Village on the grounds. A letter from the concessionaire just received gives the followingdescription which indicates that this feature xvill rival the Wild West show as a drawing card: The arena will be arranged in the regular way and a lull troupof the best bull-lighters in Mexico, with a supply of trained horses and of the finest bulls will be brought to Atlanta It will be an exact reproduction of the famous bull fights of Spain with one exception the bull's horns will be padded, so that he can do no damage. The horses will likewise be protected b embossed leather shields, so that the whole fight may be carried out without the slightest cruelty or a bit more bloodshed than is seen at a Wild West show. The troup will all be dressed in the most picturesque and beautiful costumes. After the bull is let into the arena, the picadors, on horseback, will enter and display all the scientific bravery that makes bull fighting such interesting sport. All the interesting and beautiful moves with the capes, in fact, all the skill that can be shown in the cape-play will be exhibited. So well trained are the horses that they elude the most furious charges of the infuriated bull. When the bugle sounds again, the picadors retire and the bauderillas come in. It is their task to stick fiags on the bull ami decorate him for his funeral. The sticks used, instead of being barbed as they are in the leal light, will have bird lime or some similar -substance on them to make them stick. Alter six ot these have been placed skillfully on rfiTerent parrs ot th - ball's anaioaiy. the bugle again oiuds and the matador, tie ?:-- b: ' ring.

"The greatest native Jurist of North Carolina in the last sixty years was probably, the late Justice earson. One of the most elegant writers, and ablest lawyers and most accomplished gentlemen of our State was certainly the late Judge Archibald D. Murphey. 1 Both of these able men knew the lae Peter S. Ney personally, and both said he was Marshal Ney. We refer to them to introduce the following which,' we suppose, first appeared in a North Carolina paper, but we don't know the one. We find the statement in the Atlanta Constitution of Monday last: 'The author of the recent book en titled 'Historic Doubts as to the Execu tion of Marshal Ney,' has submitted his work to four judges of the Super ior Court of North Carolina and to an ex-judge who is now a member of Con gress. They have united in the follow' ing statement: 'We have read your book with a great deal of care, and our verdict as impartial judges is this: j You have proved beyond reasonable j doubt that Peter S. Ney was Marshal Ney.' . "After we had read the book "with j so much pleasure and satisfaction our iiiind :.as made up for all time unless Marsh vd Ney's son.
