The HEIREss FOUND. Every day
brings additional proof that the Pilot is the
best advertising medium in this portion OF
Wisconsin. Scarcely had last week issue
gone forth through the mails, containing
an advertisement enquiring for Miss ELIz
ABFTH WALSH, to whom eighteen thousand
dollars had been bequeathed on Long Is
land, and whose residence was unknown,
than the lady appeared in our Office and
proved herself the Identical Miss WALSH.
She is a school teacher in Cooperstown,
and is good looking, intelligent, and pre-
possessing young lady, and evidently has
the good sense to make good use of her un-
expected wealth. Like a girl of wisdom,
she has placed the matter in our hands, and
we have already commenced negotiating
for the possession of the property for her.

The Steadmans took their defeat very
gracefully, the Hittemhards wore their lau-
rels very modestly, and the utmost good
feeling prevailed between the members of
the two clubs. At the close of the game
both clubs adjourned to the Windate
House for dinner, and the balance of the
day was pleasantly spent in visiting around
town, and in social enjoyment. The court
eous and gentlemanly bearing of the Stead
mans won them many friends here, and all
though, of course, the sympatbics of the
spectators were with the Manitowoc boys,
the feeling Of regret was general that our
visitors were so badly beaten. Mr.. WHIT
COMB, the umpire, discharched his duty,
which is not pleasant one At best, fairly
and impartialy, and to the satisfaction OF
everybody. The Steadmans left for home
on Sunday morning, expressing themselves
we'll pleased with the treatment they had
received here. They intimated that, after
the harvest is over, they would send an in
vltation to our Manitowoc club to visit
Sheboygan Falls for return match, and
seemed confident that they would not be
again so casily defeated.

Lion Hunting.

Every day, from sunrise to sunset, l
was either on foot or in the saddle, without
rest except Sundays, which | generally
passed at home, with the relaxation OF
fishing in the beautiful river Settle. There
was an immense quantity of large game
and l had made a mixed bag of elephants,
hippopotami, buhaloes, rhinoceros, giraffes
and great numbers of the large antelopes
Lions, although numerous, were exceed
ingly difficult to bag; there was no chance
but IN the extreme risk of creeping through
the thickest jungle. Upon two or three
occasions | had shot them by crawling
into their very dens, where they had
dragged their prey; and | must acknowl-
edge that they were much more frightened
at me, than | was at them. | had gen.
orally obtained most difficult and unsa t.
isfactory shot at close quarters sometimes
l rolled them over with mortal wound,
and they disappeared to die in impenetra-
BILE jungle; but at all times fortune was
on my side. On moonlight nights l gen.
orally lay in wait for these animals with
great patience sometimes | shot hippop-
otami and used hindquarter as a bait
for lions, while [ watched in ambush at
about twenty yards distance; but the hy-
@nas generally appeared like evil spirits,
and dragged away the bait before the
lions had chance. I never fired at these
scavengers, as they are most useful
creatures, and are contemplate as game.
My Arabs had made their fortune, as |
had given them all the meat of the vari.
Gus animals, which they dried and trans
ported to Geera, together with fat, hides,
&c. 1t would be wearying to enumerate
the happy hunting-days passed throughout
this country. We were never i'll for mo-
ment; although the thermometer was seldom
below os degrees during the day, the coun.
try was healthy, as it was intensely dry,
and therefore free from malaria at night
the thermometer averaged 20 degrees, which
was delightful temperature for those who
exist in the open air.
As our camp was full of meat, either
dried or in the process of drying in festoon.

The following little anoodoto which 90
ours in Volunteers Story of his expert
ence of the war, is we believe, new:
"During the battle Port Gibson), Gen
eral Grant was everywhere in the thickest
of the fight, directing movements, regard
less of his own personal safety. At one
time, when a six-pounder which was she'll
ing the rebels had been just charged, he
rode up, and, springing from his horse,
said, Let me take that moment He
Immediately pointed the gun at large
tree, and fixing his aim, said: Now fire. >
The shot struck in the crotch of the tree,
the branches parted and fell, and out
tumbled pair of rebel sharp-shooters who
had been picking off our men. 'Hurrah |"
said the General, and swinging his hat and
mounting his horse he was out of sight in
a moment"
The two rebel sharp-shooters, Seymour
and Blair, will come down much in the
same way, in November.

SAFE WAGER.-A number of New Ad-
ventists were lately aboard tn Utica and
New York train, returning from one of
their religious demonstrations. at which
the doctrine that this world would wind up
its affairs about the first of the new year
had been extensively held up. Two of
them opened a conversation on the cleo
tion prospects, when one remarked:
Il haven't the slightest doubt that the
Democrats will elect Seymour and Blair
this fall, and l believe it ought to be done
too"
Il don't see how you figure in that
way" remarked the other Grant and
Colfax will be elected as sure as Novem-
Der comes, and if were betting man I'd
put up some money on it,
At this another n. A, with long, fu-
neral countenance, very owl of transcen-
dent wisdom, drawled solemnly:
i" You are both mistaken my friends !;
the Lord Jesus Christ will be President
of the United States in 1869"
Hardly had this sage prediction been
uttered when big Kentuckian, on the
other side of the aisle, who had heard the
last Speaker rather indistinctly, jumped
to his feet and bringing down his fist.
shouted, " I'll bet you twenty-five dollars
he don't carry Kentucky"
The whole car was in a roar, and the
discussion was abruptly wound up, leav-
ing the enthusiastic Corncracker very
much astonished and puzzled at the result
of his share in it.

A private letter received in Cincinnati,
from a prominent business man who has
resided forty years in Alabama, says:
Mark what / now say to you: If
Grant is defeated our country is gone. The
rebels intend to ruin the Government cur
rency and credit, so that we will have no
Government with credit, or the ability to
raise means to put down rebellion, which
is now being inaugurated. They intend
to bring this rebellion about to get control
of the negroes again. If Grant is defeat
ed, and I can get North a0ith my family,
