HUNTING REIN DEER.

HUN lNG klein DEER.
The following account OF the mode of
hunting rein deer among the Copper
and Dog-ribbed Indians, is from captain
Franklin's Narrative of his journey to
the shore of the Polar sea, 1929
The Copper Indians find by experience
that white dress attracts them most
| readily, and they often succeed in bring.
ing them within shot, by kneeling and
vibrating the gun from side, in imitation
| of the motion Of deer's horn when he is
in the act of rubbing his head against
stone.
The Dog Rib Indians have mode OF
killing these animals. which, though sim.
pie, is very successful. 1t was thus dc.
scribed by MIR. Wen,zel, who resided
long among that people. The hunter.
go in pairs, the foremost man carrying
in one hand the horns and part OF
the skin of the head of deer, and in the
other small bundle of twgs, against
which he, from time to times rubs the
horns, initiating the gestures peculiar to
the animal. His comrade follows, tread
ing exactly in his foot steps, and holding
the guns of both, in horizontal position:
so that the muzzles project under the
arms OF him who carries the head.
Both hunters have fillet of white skin
round their foreheads, and the foremost
has strip of the same kind round his
wrists. They approach the herd by de.
srees, raising their legs very slowly, but
sittlng them down somewhat suddenly.
after the manner Of q deer, and ALWAYS
taking care to lift the right or left foot ST.
multaneousiy. If any of the herd leave
oft feeding to gaze on this extraordinary
phenomenon, it Instantly stops and the
head begins to play its part by licking
the shoulders and performing other ne
cessary movements.
In this way the hunters attain the very
| centre Of the herd without exciting sus.
PicIon, and have leisure to single out the
latest. The hindmost man then bushes
forward his comrades gun, the head is
droPt, and they both FIRE nearly at the
same instant. The herd scampers off +;
the hunters trot after them 10 a short
time the poor animals halt to ascertain
the cause OF their terror, their foes stop
al the same instant, and having loaded as
they ran, greet the grazers with second
fatal discharge. The CONSERVATION of
the deer increases: they run to ard fro
in the utmost confusion, and sometimes
great part ofthe herd is destroyed withA
in the space ola few hundred yards,

WAsHlNGFoN's DIGNITY.

MIR. Niles, in late number of his Reg
ter, gives the following anecdote, illuslra.
tive Of the dignity and manner which so
emiEnnily characterized the illustrious
Washington -
"The gentleman with whom I served
my apprenticeship, in Philadelphia, kept
book store, ao well as printing Office,
in his house on Market street. He would
not have more than 9 or 5 lads in the
Office, and literally allowed us free access
to the store for the use of his books. As
| had regular weekly task that always
performed, it was my practice to rise
early In the summer and seat myself al
the front door, where enjoyed the fresh
air, and generally read about an hour,
before the rest of the family were stirring
and when but few persons were 20 be seen
in the streets. While thus occupied
Washington often passed me in his MORN
ing walk, and, from repeatedly seeing me
at the same place and the same employ
ment, frequently seeming to give me an
encouraging loos,if our eyes happened to
meet; towhich he would sometimes add
kind nod ofrecognition. One fine morning,
and Just before the door was sitting at,
he was met by two apparently respectable
gentlemen, who at the Rrst glance l put
down for foreigners, just arrived in PhiIa-
delphia. They stared at him with re
maTkable eagerDess, making a full halt
to examine bin, spontaneously, as it
seemed TO me, raising their hats. The
general made slight bow, as he passed;
they then rushed eagerly up TO me, and
asked, "what gentleman is that p | sim
ply replied Washington. One Of
them then said, "By - IL is The most
majestic man That ever 6eheid :" and
they both rushed through the market
house, Fetracing their steps, that they
might meet and look at him again. BY
their dress,mapners and dialect, thought
that they were recently from London"
