SEAL HUNTING.

SEAL HUNTING.
The pursuit of the great Spitzbergcn seal
(PhooaJGrJata), although it lacks the wild
excitement OF the chase of the sea-horsc, is
a very delightful amusement. The great
seal will never allow himself to be caught

ing seal which did not. about once in every
three or four minutes, raise his head from
the ice and look uneasily around; so that
he cannot be harpooucd in his sleep, like his
more lethgaric congener, the walrus. l
imagine this greater wltchiulness on the
part Of the seals to arise from the greater
cause they have to apprehend being 'stalked
by the bears whilc taking their siesta; how
ever this may be, recourse must be had to
the rifle before the harpoOn comes in play in
the case Of PhOea bdrbdia, and to make good
work with them requires the perfection OF
riae-practice, for il seal be not shot stone
dead on the ice he is almost certain to roll
or jerk himself into the water, and sink or
escape; and as a seal never lies more than
twelve inches from the edge Of the ice, the
most triliug spark of life is enough.
The only part of the huge carcass IN which
bullet will cause the requisite amount Of
"sudden DEATH is the brain, and this, in the
biggest seal, is not larger than an Orange
A seal will seldom allow the boat TO ap-
proach nearer than fifty ar sixty yards, and
u large proportion take the alarm much
sooner. Every rifle volunteer and every gun
makers apprentice who reads this will prob
ably exclaim. Z" oh, there is no difficulty in
that; can hit an orange every shot at 100
yards" This may be true, my gallant vol.

Save Your Seeds.

The Country Gentleman says;-"There are
many kinds of garden seeds, wanted in small
quantities, that may be more cheaply pur-
chased at seed stores than raised at home
There are Others which every farmer and gar
dener may raise and save for himself. Pro
yided the work ia well done, the more that
each one saves for himself the better; for he
may not only secure any eIcellant or favorite
variety, and be sure of having the genuine
sort, but he may also be sure that his seeds
are frcsh, and not apOrticn of old mixed
with nsw, as often happens when he obtains
them from irresponsible sources.
Always select tho best seed where the sup

the variety, take thOso which ripen frst.--
This will be necessary in order to maintain
the character for earlineSs. The tendency is
to run back, and this will be the result un-

lection will also afford chance Of not only
maintaining, but improving the quality
The same care must be taken 70 secure any

ductiyenes~, &c. Always take the best.
There are some seeds which farmers pay
considerable sums for, which they might ~

The seed OF all crops, when ripe, and be-
fore they begin to scatter, should be cut, tied
in neat bundles, distinctly marked. the name

When quite dry they should be thrcshod oi

Biography of Con. Mcclellan.

George b. Mcclellan, the son of DIR. George
Mcclellan, an eminent surgeon late Of
Philadelphia, was born in that city, Dec. 3,
1896, At the age Of sixteen, or in lSi2, he
entered the West Point Academy, aud grad
uated in lsl7, at the age of twenty, at the
head Of his class. On the first Of July of
this year his title was Brevet Second Lieut..
of Engineers.
This was the period Of the Mexican war.
and Mcclellan was called into active service.
Congress (Niay 10, lSi6) had passed an act
adding company of sapper, miners, and
pontoniers to the corps Of engineers, and
Mcclellan was made Second Lieutenant in
this company. Col. Totten names with
warm appreciation his great exertions, with
two Others. in organizing and drilling this
corps. AS the recruits assembled at West
Point, they were at once put in course oi
active drill as infantry, and OF practical in
struction in making the different materials
used in seiges. running saps and forming
ponton bridges ;and through the exertions OF
three officers only, when they sailed from
West point (Sept. o. scvcnty-onc strong,
the Colonel says that they were in admirable
discipline This company was FIRST ordered
to repor, to Gen. Taylor, and went to Cam.
argo but were then ordered to counter
march to Matamoris, and move with the
column Of Patterson. Here Capt. Swift and
nineteen men were left in the hospital, and
from that time until few days before the
landing at Vera Cruz the company was under
Lieut.. Smith, who had but one other officer,
Lieut.. Mcclellan. During the march,
Col. Totten says, 'to Victoria from Mata-
moras, the company then reduced to forty
five electives, executed q great amount OF
work upon roads, fords, etc as 1t Gid in
proceeding thence to Tampico, when it formed
with one company Of the Third and one Of
the Seventh infantry, pioneer party, under
Capt. Henry. Of the Third infantry. The
detailed reports Of these labors exhibit the
greatest efficiency and excellent dicipline
under severe and trying circumstances, Lieut..
Smith having but one officer, Lieut.. MeClel-

CLovER.Scx L,SD.-It is well known that
in many instances. after clover has been grown
on land for long time, il will not flourish.
The term "clover-sick" is applied to land in
such cases. The question-"what ails the
land?" has been puruling one. One class
OF agricultural philosophers attributed the
failure to the exhaustion Of the mineral ele-
ments of tho soil but the application Of
potash and other mineral manures was not
found to be specific remedy. In practice it
was found tha, the land required rest from
clover. and that after an interval Of several
years it recovered the ability to produce this
crop. DR.. Yoelcker, chemist to the Royal
Agricultural Society Of England, made many
experiments in reference to this subject few
years ago, which formed the basis OF valu-
able paper in the Journal Of that Society
lie, however, did not arrive at any positive
conclusions in regard to the principles Of clo-
ver-sickness. Yet he suggests that the fall
ure Of clover in the cases alluded TO may be
owing to the want OF a sufficient supply OF
certain organic compounds in the soil. The
idea which has been widely entertained, the
organic matter in the soil is only valuable to
plants as n source of carbonic acid, he thinks
requires modification, as it is probable that
some plants derive considerable amount Of
their substance from carbon compounds 10th
er than carbonic acid" while Others depend
on that acid mainly Cor their supply Of car
bon.

is evidently fear OF the bear which makes
the seal 80 uneasy and restless when they are
on the ice, as very many Of these seals in all
probability never saw man or n beast in oil
their lives.
DISTINCTIONS BErwEEN THE SEAL AND TUE
wALRus.
The resemblance between the seal and the
walras is not in any respect 80 close, either
in their appearance or in their habits, as one
would be apt to suppose by looking at the
clumsily stuffed specimen Of walrus in the
British Museum or at the few absurd carica-
lures Of this animal which exist. The wal
rus in every way partakcs much more Of the
nature Of land animals than the seal, which
again seems more closely allied to the ceta-
ceans. For instance the walrus can double
his hind legs under him and walk upon them
like any other beast, while the seal always
keeps his hind extremities stretched back
ward like the tail of cetacean. The walrus
cannot remain under water for nearly 50
long Us the seal, neither can he sustain the
pressure of the water at anything like the
depth to which the great seal can descend
the walrus goes ashore on the beach or rocks,
and the Spitzborgcn seal, although he basks
on ice---both fixed and aoating-is never
known to go on land or even to lie on a half
tide rock; the walrns is gregarious and the
great seal solitary, even two seldom being
found together; the young walsus lives with
bis dam two seasons, while the young seals
are believed to leave the protection Of the old
ones at a few days old, and to SHIFT for them
selves like young fishes. believe young
seal is never found along with its dam. The
food of the walrus is generally obtained by
ploughing the submarine banks with his
tusks, and the seal catches his prey swim
ming in the water.
This evidence would seem to argue that
the seal is farther intermediate between the
walrus and the whale, but cannot presume
to hazard any opinion on that.point he may
have diverScd from the walrus, or he may
baycsprung more directly from some other
race of animals living or extinct, without
the Intervention of the walrus.
But,in whatsoeyr way the numerous tribes
of seals may have originated, think that
we have strong evidence before us, in the ap-
pearance and habits Of the great seal and the
walrus, to induce us to entertain the belief that
Oncor the other of them or some allied animal
now extinct, has been the progcnitor of the
whales and other cetaceans.
1t is useless to rccapitulatc the description
Of the manner in which Ihumbly conceive it
possible that these mighty animals might
have been developed, as the cases bypocriti-
cally put before must have explained my
meaning sufficiently and my utmost hope is
that the suggestions and remarks that have
thrown out about the appearance and habits
of animals so little known may assist in
enabling other better qualified advocates Of
the graet theory of progressive Development
by means OF natural selections to work it out
to demonstration.
