tween hch and the roof of the cave was
the entrance to the chamber where the
animal laid. He felt satisfied that the ami
NAL could not spring suddenly out, as
there was not room for him TO do so. and
to that be attributed the safety Of the dogs
and that upon that rock the animal with
out doubt struck that blow, which had
been heard when the dog. first entcred.--
He was also assured that enc man could
not shoot him, as from the position he must
necessarily occupy in the hole, he could
not get the muzzle Of the piece over the
ledge of rock al the entrance.
The plan being formed il was as speed
y carried out. They both stripped of all
unnecessary clothing. and Rudolph enter
ed FIRST. firmly clutc hing the rifle near the
muzzle. which he brought over the rock.
The nephew followed and brought the
gun TO his shoulder. though not without
great difficulty. as the position they were
in was exceedingly awkward, beisg near
ly on their backs and their heads lower
than their feet. "Do your work clear"
said Adam, shoot at his eye and don't let

find the end ofthc riGc--raise little high
era little to the left--a little 10 the right
there, sieady--a little higher" in low
whisper, when instantly the piece was dis
charged. with a most terrific report in that
confined place. and, as they afterwards,
said. they thought the rocks would have
surely tumbled in on them.
Ina moment the young man was drawn
out by his brother. and together they pull
ed away at the old man, whose shirt be
coming entangleJ in projecting angle Of
the rock, he cried out he was fast, they
supposing the animal had hold OF him,
p.Iled the harder. and after some bruises
and commissions got bim out. Listening
quietly. low deep groans, like the sobs Of
human being in distress were heard issu-
ing from the cave. One ofihe dogs was
now sent into the cave, and all within be-
ing quiet, they knew the animal was dead

Singular IIislOricnl Enci.

The New lork Express brings 10 light
IA singular historical fact which is not gene
rally known. 1t says that in 1917 a Rus
-ian Of cminence, NJ. Pozzo dc Borgo. be-
ing then in Paris. proposed in a memoir
addressed to bis Court on the importance
Of replacing South America under the do.
minlon Of Spain, that the United States
should be suljugated. He said that,
"Foundcd onthe sovereignty ofthe people,
the Republic oflhe u. States Of America
was fire, Of which the daily contact with
Europe threatened the latter with conila-
gration that as an asylum for all innova-
tors, it gave them the means OF dIssernna-
ting at a distance, by iheIr writings and by
the authority Of their example, pdlson o.
which the communication could not be
questioned, as it was well known that the
French revolution had IT'S origin IN the u.
States, that already troublesome effects
were felt from the presence Of the French
refugees in the q. States"
The Russian Ambassador went on TO
state and argue that the conquest Of the T..
States was an easy enterprise; that the de-
gree Of power TO which the Americans had
risen, made them objects Of fear TO the Eu-
ropean Monarchical Governments, &c.
The editor Of the Express came in CON
tact with this curious paper ~ the State
Library at Albany, IN an old file OF the
Missouri Republican, printed more than
thirty years ago.
