A Hunter freed.

The Southern hunters tell won
derfnl stories Of their adventures
in tho forest. We would not care
to vouch for them all, nor, indeed,
for all of any one ofthcm; but 1t is
proper to remember that what
appears Incredible TO the man of
civilization, seems to be quito pro-
babic, and even common place, in
the western wilts. Lot rs tell Il
single story, TO illustrate some Of
their cNagcrations, which was re-
lated to a circle OF Southern men
in Mississippi steamer, and did
not seem TO he doubted as an
authentic incident hy any one Of
them.
The peccary is creature Of the
hog species, and is utterly fearless.

less they hitit, andncvcr hesitatcs
Ito attack any one and every one,
whether man or beast, that comes
across its path. 4 relentless war
is wagcd against it by the south
crn hunters, as much for their own
safety rs from any love Of the
sport. 1T has won the reputation
of being the only wild game the
experienced hunter always runs
from instead Of stopping to fight.
a Texan said that once when he
was shooting in swamp he killed

Moral Courage.


We received II communication
recently prcfaccd by this slightly
astounding question: 'Iavc you
tho moral courage to publish the
following
Wo answer that wo havo the
moral courage to publish any
thing whatcvor--if wo choose to
do it.
Moral courage is usually one Of
an editors weaknesses.
He generally has So much NOR
al courage that he is constantly
getting into trouble.
IF IN editor can euro hinself Of
moral courage ho may congratu-
late himself.
Horace Greeley never cured
himself of it--hc had even more
than tho average to begin with,
pcrhap9'-and SO he is always call
ing some one q GlocEhcnd or n
ialsifier llc can't suppress his
moral couragc-it is one too many
for him, and always has been.
Moral courage is an epidemic
among editors.
Every young editor has his
first attack just as he had the
measles and'whooping.congh when
ne was II boy-but he never gots
1t entirely out Of his system. 1t
breaks out. every now and thcn-
even whom he gets as old as tho
editors Of the Post have been for
many years.
An editor has moral courage if
ho hasn't got anything else.
Our greatest difficulty is to find
ono that.hnsn't gol too much.
Whenever we get II young one,
he always has it badly.
lc is anxious to attack every
lhin'r within his reach. and nnloSS
we watch him he does it.
Moral courage is an cdiloria
nuisance.
We've got more than we have
any use for ourselves.
It's lying all around our Office
We have plenty to spare if any
body wants any.
AS to our correspondents oucs,
ton, We have. simply to say tha,
we should publish his articIc-i
we choose to. .-'
We don't choose to.
We, ourselves, have learned to
suppress our moral couragc-cx.
