Buffalo Hunting,

& correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
naercial writes from the plains:
Yesterday we had another handsome
run with the buffalo, starting two large
bulls quite close to.the road. To look at
them running you would suppose their
speed was contemplate. Their gait is
ungainly, resembling more nearly the
lope of pig than that of any animal /
can recall With their nose close to the
ground they keep steadily on, and only
begin to run their best when you expect
them to tire out. You change your mind
as to their speed when you try one with
your horse at his best speed. The en-
barrassments of an amateur buffalo hunt
er are varied, and not limited in number
As general thing, his horse objects to
the buffalo-dislikes him, in short, and is
with difficulty persuaded to face him, al
though he may follow well enough, the
moment the buffalo turns, your horsais
off, and it may be well for you to 15Sk
that you are not off too. Indeed, with
halfa dozen bullets in him, his awful dra-
perry of shaggy hair, eyes glaring, blood
dripping from his jaws, the buffalo bull is
net a pleasant object for horse to look
upon, much less to get near. He is full
of fight, and shows it while he has power
left to move muscle. Well our two
bulls were run down and killed by four
of our party in about forty minutes.
One of them was noble speeiman,
some twelve years old, very large, meas
uring nine feet in length and six in
height. When he turned at bay, he was
"a truly grand spectacle. With such
horses as the indians have the sport is
much finer The horse knows the buffalo
nearly as well as his rider, and will dash
up at full speed close % his side, giving
the hunter all the time needed to put his
shot in the desired place-just behind the
shoulder. 1t certainly is as glorious and
exhilirating sport as anything in hunt
ing can be, for even the fresh, unframed
horses, when recovered from their first
terror, enter into the sport, and fairly
tremble with the excitement. To-day we
had another buffalo hunt of a singular de-
scription. Our camp is situated on the
declivity of a hill looking south towards
the Arkansas. About half an hour be-
fore sunset, come one near me cried out
buffalo" and although supposed it to
be joke, l looked up, and sure enough
there was buffalo just below the crest
of the hill, coming towards us. 1t stop
ped, turned, looked bewildered for mo-
ment and began to turn back. Mean
while half a dozen rifles and reyolvers
were grasped, and, by dint of hesding of
and wounding it, the animal was actually
run down and shot by half dozen men
on. foot. 1t was a young buffalo cow
Poor, misguided, giddy thing. Strayed
from It's herd, it was doubtless, endeavor.
ing to make its way across the river, to
which its instinct was unerringly guiding
it.n

Cable dispatches state the Porte has
resolved to make concessions to the Gre
tans, and'will appoint a Christian Gov
ernor for the Island of Gambia. If it has
been extorted from the weakness of Tur-
key, the Cretans will not be content with
anything less than the recognition of
their independence of the Porte, and it
should certainly not relax the efforts in
America for their relief Parisgossips re-
gard the proposed mission of the Greek
General Kalergis to the United States as
a s.Russian intrigue" It is not improba-
bic that this represents the view of the
French Government, which, while appar-
emily urging at present the claims of the
Turkish Christians to political reforms, is
still as ready as ever to decry every real
effort to awaken sympathy for the suffer
ers in Crete The Emperor seeing that
his sympathy with Turkey will not be of
much avail to his ally, is now framing
reforms in favor ofthe Christian subjects
OF the Porte, which he will, as usual, pre-
sent officially and urge as the selfconsti-
tuted spokesman of the great European
Powers.

WHERE OUR v VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
COME FRoM.-Garlic came from Sicily,
where for my part wish it had stayed.
Beans blossomed first within sight Of EN-
brYo mumnies, in the land of the Sphynx;
and the eggplant first laid its glossy
treasures under an African sun, and south
ern Europe gave as the artichoke and
the beet. To Persia we stand indebted
for peaches, walnuts, mulberries, and
score of every day luxuries and necessities
to Arabia we owe the cultivation of spin
ach /; and to southern Europe we must
bow in fearful gratitude for the horse rad
ish. At Siberia the victims of modern
intemperance may shake their CORY locks
forever-for from that cold, unsocial land
came rye, the father of the great 6re-wa-
ter river which has foated SO many jolly
souls on its treacherous tides, and en-
quilted so much of humanity's treasure
The chestnut, dear to squirrels and young
America, first droppeG its burrs on ltal-
ian SOIL Whoever dreams while enjoy
ing his "Bergamotte," ," bis "Flemish beau

pear blossoms opened within sight Of the
pyramids and what fair school girl Of
the pickle eating tribe dreams of thank
ing the East Indies for her cucumberse
Parsley, that preteiest of al pretty greens
taking so naturally to our American soil
that it seems quite to the manor born, is
only sojourner among us. Its native
home is Siberia, or rather there it first Sc
cured an acquaintanceship with civilized
man. Onions, too, are only naturalized
foreigners in America. / had hoped that
in poetic justice research would prove
this pathetic bulb to have sprung from
the land of Niobe; but no-Egypt

Der of professed prostitutes, by actual

Pleasing Miscellany.


The Buffalo Express says: A very funny in
cident occurred at one of the Express offices
in this city recently. Amessenger had brought
among his other freight, box containing a
corpse, sent for interment. This messenger
manifested decided antipathy for corpses
and expressed his reluctance to taking them
in charge. Among the clerks in the office at
the time was one who is well known in the
city, and who is possessed of unusual powers
of yentriloquism. He approached the box in
which the body was placed, and knocking on
the cover said a . ..a
"Hilo therew
"Hilloe' was the response, apparently from
the inside.
"What are you doing in Thereof
"Why, Pm deadr'
"What's YOUR name?' ~ --- ID
"Jethro Pendergrass."
GLOW long have you been dead ?'
"Four days." -1 1850 3
"What did you die Off"
"Delirium tremens"
A roar of laughter, which they were unable
longer to control, here burst from the parties
present, who understood the joke and the
messenger, whose hair is said to have assumed
the attitude ofquils on the fretful porcupine
during the seeming colloquy between the liv-
ing and the dead. realized the full extent of
the sell. Muttering something about the i'm
propriety of such demonstrations, he made a
speedy exit from the place.

aOnIy IN Year"
BY MRS. H. b. STOWE. 4s
One year ago-a ringing voice,
A clear blueeye,
And clustering curls OF SUNNY n"ii'
Too fair to die.
ONLY vear-no voice, no smile,
No glance of eye,
No clustering curls OF golden hair,
Fair but to die!
One year ago-what loves, what schemes
Far into life!
What joyous hopes, with high resolves,
What generous strife!
The silent picture on the wall,
The Nurial stone,
OF all that beauty, life and JOY
Remain alone!
One year--one year-ohe hS'-
Ant so much gone! nc,
And vet the even flow Of iii0
Moves calmly on
The grass grows green' 'n0 --
Above that head;
No sorrowine tint OF leaf OF spray
Says he is deau'
No ,,ause or hush of merry birds,
That sing above,
Tell us how coldly sleeps below
The form we love.
Where hast thou been this year, beloved2
What hast thou seen?
What visions fair, what glorious life,
Where thou hast been?
The veil! the veil! SO thin, so strongs
'Twixt us and thee;
The mystic veil, when shall it fall,
That we may see?
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone'
But present STILL
And waiting for the coming hour
Of Gods sweet will.
Lord of the living and the dead,
Our Saviour dear! Sd 90 q.
We lay in silence at thy feet
This sad, sad year!

NECK-TwIsTING IN CHURCH-A good sto-
ry is told of an eccentric old parson, who was
sorely annoyed by habit his people had ac-
quired land which prevails by-the-way, in all
other churches. even now. and hereabouts to
some extent to twisting their neck around
every time anybody entered the door, and
passed up the aisle of the meeting house to
see what manner of person it might be.
Wearied with the annoyance, the old man
exclaimed one Sunday:
Brethren, if you will only cease turning
your heads round, whenever the door opens
and will keep your attention on me, will
promise to tell you as I preach, who it is that
comes in"
Accordingly he went on with the services
and presently made a stop as one of the dea-
cons entered, saving
THAT is Deacon who keeps the gro
Gerry opposite"
And then he announced, in turn, the adj
vent of each individual, proceeding the while
with bis sermon as composedly as the circum-
stances would admit, when at last stranger
came in, when he cried out ~
"a little old man in green spectacles, and a
drab overcoat-don't know him-you can all
turn round and look for yourself this time"
1t is hardly necessary to add that the good
man carried his point, and there was but little
neck-twisting seen in his congregation after
that day.

Madame Recamier retained her beauty
much longer than is usual even with French
women. "She did not struggle" said Sainte
Beuve. "She resigned herself gracefully to
the first touch of time. She understood, that
for one who had enjoyed such success as a
beauty, in order to seem yet beautiful, she
must make no pretensions. A friend, who
had not seen her for many years, compliment
ed her upon her looks. "Ah my dear friend, .
she replied, sit is useless for me to deceive
myself From the moment noticed that the
little Savoyards in the street no longer turned
to look at me, knew that all was over"
