that the fifth edition appeared three years
after, in 1888. Though protesting to have
a German origin, it was not till 1877 that
they came out in that language, under the
auspices of the poet, Burger, who has, in
consequence, often been taken for their
author. 1t is now known that the real
writer was Professor r. Z. Raspe, Ger

Bear Fight.

TThe following is an authentic account of
a Vermont bear fight, of olden time furnish
ed for the Record by an elderly gentle
man of Brandon formerly residing near the
vicinity WHARF the event occurred and who
is perfectly conversant with the facts in the
case. t. tl ~.
Among the early settlers of the town Of
Sherburne, W.T., was one man by the name
of Avery, who commenced an improvement
on piece of land near the Queechee river.
A short time after, his son, Parsons Avery.
made pitch on the next lot down the river,
built log house, cleared few acres and
got some of it seeded down to grass. Early
one morning he discovered huge bear
making an attack upon young calf then in
a small pasture near the house. Avery at
once seizing his gun and fired upon the
bear, wounding him. Bruin Immediately
left the pasture and made up stream ];
whereupon young Avery informed his
father what had happened. The old man
at once seized his gun and made for the
river. The bear soon appeared and re-
ceived another shot, from the old man. AT
this the bear became enraged and made
furiously for the old man, who attempted TO
escape from him by springing up steep
bank, when his foot slipped and he caught
hold of small tree with one hand, the other
being thrown back /; at the same time the
bear coming up, seized his hand in his
mouth and held it fast, pulling and scraping
his arm with his huge paws. During this
time Young Avery was following up the
track of bruin until he herd the report of
his fathers gun when be fastened to the
spot WHARF he found his father, as above
described. The young mans gun was
empty-the old man bleeding and faint
the skin and flesh ofthe arm being severely
lacerated-there was no time to be lost
and young Avery at once began strikin the
bear over the back with the breech of his
gun, the third blow left nothing but the
barrel, with this he continued to pelt him
until he found it made no impression, he
then turned and struck under, so as to come
| in contact with his vitals, at which bruin
quit his hold upon the old man and turned
upon the young man, who would, as oppor-
tunity presented, give him blow with the
! gun barrel, while a small dog would snap
him in the rear at every turn. So the game
went on striking, jumping and swapping
alternately, until lucky blow hit his bear
ship on the nose, which made him yield
| the blood flowing in streams therefrom
| when his adversary sprang upon him and
with his pocket knife severed the veins o.
his neck. The weight of the bear was over
400 pounds. After awhile the old gentle.
mans wounds healed up, leaving upon his
arm, however, ample evidence of the fearful
encounter Vermont Record

HoW ObR oOLDiEho LlN II AND DIE.
In late number of the Boston Common
aoealM we find the following sketch of
scene in one of the army hospitals at Wash
ington from the pen of Louisa M. Aleott, of
Boston, who performs the duties of nurse:
DAVID AND JONATHAN.
One evening l found lately empded bed

face and the sternest eyes | ever met. One
of the earlier comers had often spoken of

apparently worse wounded than himself
might reach shelter first 1t seemed

man fretted for his mate, and was never
tired of praising John, his courage, sobriety,
self-denial and unfailing kindness of heart,

complaint, asked no sympathy, but tranquil

lay high upon his pillows. No picture of
dying statesman or warrior was ever fuller
of real dignity than this Virginia blacksmith
| NO HOPE.
A most attractive face he had; framed
| in brown hair and beard, comely featured
and full of vigor as yet unsubdued by pain,
thoughtful and beautifully mild while watch
| irg the affections of others, as if entirely
forgetful Of his own. His mouth was grave
and frm, with plenty of will and courage in
its lines, but smile could make it sweet as
any woman's; and his eyes looking one fair
| ly in the face, with straightforward glance,
which promised well for such as placed their
faith in him. He seemed to cling to life as
if it were rich in duties and delights, and
he had learned the secret of content. The
only time ! saw his composure disturbed
was when my surgeon brought another 10

with an anxious look, asking of the elder,

passed on, Johns eye followed them with
an intentness which would have won clear
er answer from them had they seen il. A
momentary shadow fitted over his face, then
came the usual serenity, as if in that brief
eclipse he had acknowledged the existence
of some hard possibility, and asking moth
ing, yet hoping all things, left the issue in
Gods hand, with that submission which is
true piety.
The next night, as went my rounds with
DR.. P, happened to ask which man
in the room probably suffered most, and to
my great surprise lie glanced at John.

STANDING ON ETIQUETTE.--Ihosew who

curiously innocent mode OF expression oc-

times, as to render its simplicity doubtful.
We heard of young married couple
from the country of course-who recently at
tended an exhibition of "Dissolving Views" "
The bride being pretty attracted the atten-
tion of a stylish looking city gent, who hap
pened to occupy the same seat with the
twain. During the exhibition the audience

Sc me accident the light was entirely ex-

Source of the Nile Discovered.

No question of geography has longer and
more obstjnately resisted the Investigations ot
explorers, than that of the source OF the river
White Nile OF Africa. During the thousanda
OF years that continent has been known to The
civilized world, the most constant anxiety has
been excited In regard to that subject, and
many expeditions directed toward the develop
ment Of the great secret. But Il seems that
success has ct last crowned these persevering
efforts.
Captain Speke, an English explorer, Ia the
lucky man who made the revelation. In let.
ter to Sir Roderick Murchison, printed In Eng
lish journals just received, the fortunate dis
c0verer writes:
said would do It, and have done It. The Victoria
NyanSa Is the great reservoir Of the sacred Bshr ell
Ablad white Ne).
Sir Roderjok Murchiaon adds:
This discovery of speke and Grant, by which the
souhernmost limit Of the basin Of the Nile Is deter.
mined to be four degrees south Of the equator the
most remarkable geographical feat OF age, and s
indeed, an achievement Of which all our countrymen
may we'll be proud.
The lake Victoria Nyanzl, which these two
Englishmen have thus sscertained to be the
true source or headwaters OF tho White Nile,
was discovered by Captain Speke on the 81 OF
August, 1858. He a0b out with Captain Bur.
ton, but left the latter at the Lake Tangany-
ika, and pushed on alone till he reached the
Victoria. He rep0,tsd this water to be extern
sive, the southern extremity lying about one
hundred aud fifty miles south of the equator,
and the Northern reaching at least degree
Dorth OF the equator, in longitude 81 OF 30 deg
Capt. Spoke returned to England convinced
that this lake no had discovered was the true
eouroe of the White Nile. Captain Burton
ridculed the suppostion, and IL was received
with DOUBT by the geographical public. Per-
suaded that he was right, and determined to
prove It, Spoke returned to the African coast,
organized new expedition, and left Zanzibar
with II September 25th, 1860. About year
ago, on the llth of April, 1862, they we're re-
ported in latitude deg. 80 min eonth, having

the hfst Ger tain branch of the Nile. About
tho end of March last, he aud the small rem
nant of his party arrived at Khartum, having
followed the stream from the lake Victoria ".

retinue on leaving ZIUzibar, only seventeen re-
malned with him.
Thus, geographical problem ss interesting
as that OF the northwest passage, and longer
than that the subject Of intelligent specustions
and res earch, is at last solved. The stubborn
earth has given up another OF its secrets, and
there remains now no great prize for geogre-
pherB and explorers to strive for. BayaFd Tay.
lors wrote, come years ago, "Since Columbus
fra looked upon San Salvador, the earth has
but one emotion OF triumph in her besto val,
and that she reserved for him who shall drink
from the fountains of the White Nile"
