Catching Alligat0rs.

ALLIGAToRs are huge reptiles, but not
very bright or shrewd, and are taken easi-
ly by men cunning enough to lay snare
for them. The Siamese natives take them
after the following fashion,: s
They take live duck, and under it
they attach a piece of wood about six
inches long, proportionately thick, and
pointed at both ends. To this piece of
wood they tie a fine but very strong cord,
to which are attached pieces of bamboo,
which serve for floats. They then put
the duck in the middle of the river, and
the bird, finding itself embarrassed by the
piece OF wood, struggles to get rid of it.
9 The crocodile, seeingit, dives into the
water, attempts to take it from below, and
seizes, instead, the piece of wood, which
sticks crosswise in its throat. As soon as
they perceive that he is taken, which is
seen by the shaking of the cord and the
agitation of the bamboo, the signal is
given, and the animal is drawn to the top
of the water in spite of the efforts he
makes to get free. When he appears,
the fishermen dart their harpoons into
him. 9g34 a tHA s
These are kind of dart, the iron point
of which is shaped like an arrow, attach
. ed to a handle about five feet long. To
the iron point, which is pierced in the
socket, is attached very fine cord, twist
ed around the stick, which detaches itself
from the iron, and which floating on the
water indicates the spotwhere the animal
is. When they have planted sufficient
number of harpoons in his body, they
drag him ashore and dispatch him with
I their hatchets.

ingiy His own Daughter.


1t would seem, from the frequent oc-
currence of remarkable incidents, that
there is certainly nothing of an improba-
BILE nature, judging from the following
wonderfully strange and hardly credible
story which came to our ears few days
since:
~ Insthe spring Of 1s49, when the gold
fever was at its highest possible state of
excitement in California, there lived in
the State Of Virginia, on the banks Of the
York river, q few miles below Yorktown,
gentleman Of culture, whose parents
were in moderate circumstances. 1t was
during the gold excitement he left the
comforts of home, his friends, relatives,
a loving wife, whom he had led to the
altar but year since, and an only child
daughter of two months-and took up
mis- lonely journey to seek his fortune in
. > the wild, distant West, over and beyond
the Rocky Mountains, where the bright
and golden sun sinks down to rest amid
the blue waves of the grand Pacific
After years of toll, drudgery, and re-
verses of fortune in the mines he came
to this city and engaged in business. He
being successful, soon amassed an i'm
mense fortune. His beloved wife had
f died during prevailing epidemic while
on visit to some relatives during the
yellow fever season at New Orleans, as at
eHe same tlme ulu little girl OF another
family, OF the same name and age as his
little daughter He visited the States, but
could find no clue to his deceased wife's
sister; he thought, naturally, she, too,
had died. He returned to the Golden
State, and time and the whirl,ng excite
ment OF business soon healed his sorrows
-t and effaced apparently, all recollection of
his old home on the banks of the placid
York
Shortly after the completion of the
Pacific railroad there arrived at this city
gentleman, his wife, and a beautiful,
well educated, and graceful young lady,
just blooming into maidenhood, apparent
s. ly and really about eighteen summers. 1t
was by chance the young lady and aged
widower met-and to meet was to love-
They were duly married after short &C.
quaintance; The ceremony being celebrat-
ed with great eclot, and creating no little
f1utter in the fashionable and wealthy cir
cles of our city. The fact that both
parties bore the same Christian name ex-
cited no comment or inquiry, as it was
one almost quite as common as that of
Smith or Brown.
2 A few weeks after the marriage, rs the
husband and wife naturally inquired into
each others past history and antecedents,
and We're gradually becoming better ac-
qua1nted with each other the denouement
came-they were father and daughter

A DRY genius, recently passed farm
house near which the occupant had been
butchering something less than dozen
very small pigs, the result of the days Ia
Dor being hung up on long pole facing
the street. Our genius deliberately stop
ped his team and asked the farmer what
he was doing. "Butchering," was the
quick reply. "Oh," says the driver, & /
thought you were dipping candlesr' and
. he fastened his horse into trot-to make
up for lost time. SO Ea
