BURIED BY A BEAR.

A gentleman from the lower country,
says the Alta California, where grizzly
bears help the herders to take care of
the sheep, relates curious adventure
which occurred to an Indian herdsman
in his employ. He sent the man to a
distant portion of large rancho to look
after herd of sheep short time since.
The Indian at nightfall got under a
shed with roof Of branches, but open
on all sides, and lay down in his blank
cts. After few hours sleep, he was
awakened by feeling the hot breath of
some animal on his face. He moved
his arms, and at once understood the
situation. A huge bear was snuffng
him. The man, with great presence of
mind. determined to keep perfectly still,
for he knew if he moved or cried out,
one blow of those huge paws would
break his skull like a walnut. Bruin
scratched off the blankets, and seized
the Indian by the leg. Though suffer
ing terribly, the brave fellow did not al
low groan or cry to escape him. The
bear dragged him from the hut for some
distance, and then commenced to dig
hole to lay the Indian in and cover him
up from the coyotes. After the grave
had been dug deep enough, the bear
(contenting himself with about pound
of flesh from his victims thigh moved
the body to the hole and covered it up.
The Indian managed to keep the earth
over his face loose enough to allow him
to breathe, and when the bear retired,
he crawled out toward the mustang,
which was picketed some yards outside
the hut. With great difficulty he mount
ed, and then rode toward the rancho
house. A doctor was then sent for, and
pronounced the wounds, though severe
and painful, not likely to prove fatal.
The next day hunt was organized, and
the grizzly was killed in the neighbor-
hood of the spot where he had slowed
away his intended meal
Besides the gold snuff boxes and 9TH
er gifts which Stanley has brought home,
/
he exhibits the bright little negro boy
kalula, who has followed Stanley's for
tunes to the country where the African
race lave a home and vote. This lit
tie chap, with whose portrait, in state
of semi-nudity, New York is familiar
through the illustrated press, is now
clothed after the manner of an English
page of the nineteenth century, whose
status is better expressed in the ''but-
TONS" He is a little shy on being first
introduced When, however, he is ad-
dressed in Kisawihli, the language Of
his tribe, which is located in Cazembe's
county, south of Tanganyika, he talks
with considerable fuency. He is SAID
to possess considerable musical talent
and sings with great gusto the following
refrain from the ancient scriptures o.

ELEPHANTS IN A QUICKSAND.

On the banks of the river Ganges, says
military journalist, there are many
quicksands; and during our expedition
a somewhat distressing scene happened.
An elephant incautiously came within
the vortex of one; first one foot sank,
then another, and endeavoring to extri-
cate himself, matters became worse; no
portion of either of his legs was at last
visible, and the bystanders had given up
the poor animal as lost. Being, fortu-
nately, unusually powerful, he three
several times, with what appeared to be
supernatural strength, drew root from
the closely clinging earth, placing it
where, by sounding it with his trunk,
he found most solid not until the third
time did the ground bear his pressure
when he gradually released himself
During the whole period of his troubles,
his cries were exceedingly dolorous, and
might have been heard couple of miles
his grunt, when they are at an end, was
equally indicative of satisfaction. The
internal application of bottle of strong
spirits soon dissipated his trembling,
and restored his equanimity. Many un-
fortunate elephants are lost in these
treacherous sands, when large quantities
of grass or branches of trees are not at
hand to form an available support for
them. After certain time the poor
beast becomes powerless /; and the owner
can only look with sorrow at the gradual
disappearance Of his noble animal, and
lament the pecuniary loss be hereby suf.
fers, for all human aid is futile. They
have been known to be twelve hours be-
fore entirely sinking.

CoNsIDERATE,-Iti is very seldom that
physicians will encourage their patients
to swallow medicine by taking it them
selves to show how harmless and nice
it is but there was one in Kansas who
lately took dose of chloral to prove to
patient that it would not hurt her,
The patient has every reason to place
the fullest confidence in his word. 1t
did not hurt her, but that was because
the doctor took it, 1t killed him. We
hope this practice will not prevail to any
great extent, or we shall soon be left
without physicians whose mission is not
to kill themselves but their patients

THE LOAF OF BREAD.

In time of famine a rich man allowed
twenty of the poorest children in the
town to come to his house, and said to
them, 'In this basket there is loaf of
bread for each of you; take it, and come
at the same hour every day till God
sends better times
The children pounced upon the basket,
struggled and fought over the bread, be-
cause each wished to have the largest and
best loaf, and then they went away with
out word of thanks to their friends.
But Francesca, a little girl meanly
though neatly dressed, stood at distance,
and gratefully took the loaf that was
left in the basket, which was the small
est, then she kissed the good mans hand
and went quietly home.
The next day the children were just as
naughty and ill-behaved, and this time
there was left for poor Francesca loaf
that was hardly half as large as the 9TH
ers. But when she reached home and
her mother cut the bread, there fell out
a number of new pieces of silver. The
mother was frightened and said, "Take
back the money this moment, for it is
certainly in the bread by mistake
Francesca took it back
But the kind man said, lit is no mis-.
take, my good child l had the money
baked in the smallest loaf in order to re.
ward you Be always as contented and
yielding as you now are. He who is
contented with the smallest loaf, rather
than quarrel for the largest, will receive
abundant blessings Children S Hour,

Bridgeport tells curious story of an
unclaimed trunk. Fourteen years ago
a regularly checked trunk arrived by
one of the trains, and no one calling for
it, it was placed in the baggage-room,
where it lay for eleven years. at the
expiration of that time a gentleman ap-
peared with the duplicate check and ar
ranged to pay 50 for storage, promising
to call for his trunk the following day.
Three years have since passed, but the
trunk still awaits his return,

Mr.. EDITOR: On the night of the 10Th.
some of the young citizens were rather
jubilant from having partaken too freely
Of refreshments at the Republican eau
ous. Being somewhat noisy and demon
strative on the street. they were accosted
by a policeman. iHenry Goodwin,) who
ordered them to appear at the Mayors
Court the next morning. As this was
their first offence. his Honor discharged
them, after hearing the case. On the
same night, (the 19th.) this policeman
was found by some of these young men
asleep on his post. They took from him
his hat, belt, club. badge and handker-
chief, without awakening him. Perhaps
he. too, had attended that caucus. For
this, he was arraigned before the Mayor,
and fined $3.50. Policemen should be
cautious how they rudely accost citizens
for the same offence of which they them
selves are guilty. CITIZEN.

Action OF tho Democratic state Exeeu.
tive Committee,


The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, after full and free conference,
yesterday, adopted the following resolu-
tions as embodying the policy, in their
opinion, proper to be pursued by the
Democracy of the State in the present
canvass:
Resolced, That in the present state OF
parties in South Carolina, We deem it
unwise to nominate Democratic State
ticket, and decline, therefore, to call q
convention of the people for that pur-
pose.
Resoloed. That having adopted the
policy thus indicated, we demand of the
Republican party that they fulfill, in
good faith, their public pledges. and give
to the State an able. honest and eoono-
mical government, under which e1trava-
gance and fraud shall cease, and all
classes of citizens shall be faithfully and
intelligently represented.
Resoloed, That we now place on record
our unqualified condemnation of the cor
ruption and robbery which. as the Re-
publicans themselves confess, pervade
the executive and Legislative depart
ments of the State Government; for
which corruption and robbery the Re-
publican party OF this State, rs sustained
by the Federal Government, is alone re-
sponsible.
Resolred, That we deem it of the first
Importance that the Democratic party be
organized in the several Countiee, for
the purpose Of obtaining, by such means
as may seem best. the largest measure of
local and Legislative reform.
ResolOed, That the Chairman of this
Committee appoint, at his leisure, q
Chairman for each County in the State,
who shall carry out in the respective
Counties the objects of the preceding
resolutions.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resoloed, That the members of this
Committee from the different Congress
sional Districts have authority to make
arrangements for the nomination OF
members to Congress for their respective
Districts. NJ. G. BUTLER,

A FEATURE OF CRY L1FE.-A profess
sional gentleman, we'll known III this
city, had not seen his son for long
period of time, owing to the fact that
the latter retired to bed ere the former
returned home, and in the morning the
father always left home before the son
got out Of bed. One morning the lady
OF the house managed to get the father
and son together at the breakfast table,
and by way of joke remarked: "Sop,
let me introduce you to your father. "
"How do you do, father?" said the hope
ful. II don't remember ever having met
you before, but have heard ma speak
of you."

cessful men OF this world are not those

OF others, exhibit greater amount OF
mind, and tougher staying power. and

WHAT TO Do IN EMERaENcIEs.--If.a per-
son falls in fit, and begins to snore loudly,
with very red face, tits apoplexy. Let him be
seated so as to favor the blood going down,
wards, away from the head; apply cold cloths
to the head or cushions Of equal quantities of
snow, or pounded ice and common salt If the
person is perfectly still, face pale, and there is
no perceptible breathing, it is aft of fainting.
Dotnot touch him, except to loosen the cloth
ing; then keep off five or ten feet distant, 80
az to allow the air to come in (; make no noise,
and there will very soon be calm, quiet re-
turn to consciousness and life, for it is only a
momentary cessation of the circulation of the
blood to the head. But suppose there isa very
violent motion of the hands and feet, and all
sorts Of bodily contortions, it is epilepsy. Let
the man comfort until he is tired; you can't
hold him still; all your efforts tend to aggra-
yate the trouble and to exhaust the strength /;
all that ought to be done is to keep the unfor-
tunate from hurting himself There is no felt
suffering, for as soon as he comes to he will
tell YOU that he remembers nothing whatever
of what has passed, appears to be the only
calm and self-possessed person in the crowd,
and is apparently as perfectly we'll as before the
occurrence. Dizziness often comes instantane-
ously, and we begin to reel before we know 1T.
Shut the eyes, whether you are walking along
the street, looking over precipice, ascending
a ladder, or climbing to ships masthead the
fear or dizziness disappears instantly If you
look upward.-Halps journal Of Heath.
