HUN SAVAGERY IN AFRICA.

A correspondent sends to an English paper a story which came to him direct from a British officer who had taken part in excelling the Germans from the Cameroons. One of the German commissioners was sitting on his verandah watching his dog feeding from a bowl. When the dog’s needs were, satisfied, a hungry village dog crept on the verandah and ate what the other dog had left. The German picned up his revolver and shot it. A native woman, owner of the dead dog, came up to the man and angrily remonstrated with him for his inhuman conduct. After a short parley he shot the woman. Then the husband came, and the German shot him also. “These are the people, ” remarked the officer, “who want a place in the sun, and who havn’t the capacity or intelligence to govern a few natives except by methods like these. ”
