Saved by Salt.

The Plattsburg (Mo) Register gives
the following:
A few days ago VIM. Hamilton, resid-
ing near the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
went into the timber about mile off to
shoot squirrels. Nothing being heard of
him all night, several neighbors the next
morning went iu search of him. About
three o'clock in the afternoon they found
him up leaning tree, thirty feet from
the ground, fast and unable to extricate
himself. After some trouble he was taken
down, and it was seen that one foot and
ankle were badly torn ond bleeding.
He said that about three o'clock the
previous day he came across large black
bear, and shot at but missed him. The
bear made for him with all his mi ght.-
He ran, and 6dding the bear gaining on
him, threw away his rifle, and partly
climbed and partly ran up a leaning
sycamore tree, with the bear following
right at his heels. The top of this tree
had been broken off and was hollow
He thrust one of his legs into the hole
to keep himself from falling, but soon
found that his leg was fast. He tried to
extricate himself but could not The
bear in the meantime had torn his boot
off. and was gnawing and eating the flesh
from the foot aud ankle. Mr.. Hamilton
took his pocket knife out aud cut at
bruins eyes but with one sweep of his
paw the bear stauck the knife from his
hand, with part or two of his fingers.
Mr.. Hamilton could now see no help,
and gave up to die, expecting to be eaten
up alive by the bear. But soon happy
thought struck him. That morning he
had put some salt in his pocket to salt
some cattle he had running in the timber.
He took small handful and sprinkled it
in the bears eyes. 1t had the desired
effect. The bear shook his head, growl-
ed, and went down. He soon returned
however, but little more salt drove him
away the second time, and to MIR. Hamil-
tons inexpressible delight he trotted of
into the forest.

Compulsory Education.

The fact presented in the late message
of Governor Geary that there are in
Pennsylvania more than seventy FIVE
thousand children receiving no educa-
tion other than that derived on the streets,
while the public schools afford ample
facilities for their admittance and train
ing, starts again the important question
whether system of compulsory educa-
tion should not be adopted In review
ing the able report of Professor Wicker
sham, the Philadelphia North american
comments as follows:
The annual report of the State
Superintendent of Common Schools of
Pennsylvania has just been made public,
and contains many facts truly gratifying.
There is an increase over the previous
year of l ,4S0 schools, 400 teachers, 5,723
pupils, and $500, l57 in the expenditures.
BY some strange arrangement the city of
Philadelphi was a long time excluded
from these reports, and never appeared
in the annual statements of the depart
ment, so that when the reports were
quoted in distant States they invariably
did injustice to the State by giving figures
that were far below the real ones. But
this is rectifed now, and looking at the
progress of the State at large, the present
report is worthy of attention. 1t gives
the entire expenditure upon schools, in-
cluding orphans school, at 50, 100 ,92S.33
The Superintendent calls attention to
the fact that the increase in the expendi
lures on schools in the past seven years
has been more than equal to the entire
outlay seven years ago, from which our
readers may draw their own conclusions
as to the shocking neglect of education
in the interior Of the State prior to the
adoption of the new school law, which
established the Office of County Superin-
tedent 1t may be safely assumed,
however, that even in the present improv-
cd condition, the public school system OF
the Commonwealth is far below the re
quirements of the times, and that S34 ,6li
pupils are too few for population of
three and a half millions. Long ex-
perience has convinced all connected with
education in Pennsylvania that nothing
but sheer compulsion can be depended
upon to drive the school system ahead pro-
perly. While the origional school law
left it optional with school districts to act
or not, large number refused to do any
thing at all They were known as non
accepting districts, aud ignorance became
so dense and deplorable that at length the
Legislature, after sharp struggle, made
the school laws obligatory upon all
districts, and compelled all to act.

ReYerdY Johnson on the Kurlux: ::

There is now one Democrat. at least.
who has been converted 10 belief in the
existence Of the Kuklux as described by
Republicans-who believe that the stories
told by the carpet baggers are not exag
gerated. We allude to the Hon. Reverdy
johnson. 1t will be remembered that
upon the passage of the Kulkux Bill,
Mr. johnson condemned it in unmeasur-
ed terms, denouncing it as "a gross out
rage upon the southern people," and ''an
unnecessary and outrageous piece of legis
lation to oppress peaceable and law abid,
ing people During the late trials in
South Carolina, Mr.. johnson was retained
as counsel for the accused. His present
views on the subject may be inferred from
the following language employed by him
in addressing the jury:
IL have listened with unmixed horror
to some of the testimony which has been
brought before you. The outrages prov
ed are shocking to humanity F.; they admit
of neither excuse nor justification they
violate every obligation which nature and
law imposes upon men they show that
the parties engaged were brutes, insensi,
BILE alike to the obligations of humanity
and religion. But, if justice shall not
overtake them, there is tribunal from
which they may not hope to escape it is
their own judgment; that tribunal which
sits in the heart of every living man that
still, small voice which strikes through
every heart-the voice of conscience
the voice of God. If it has not already
startled them to the enormity of their
conduct, | trust in the mercy of Heaven,
that voice will speak before they shall be
called upon to account for the transac.
tons of this world /; that it will so speak
as to make them penitent and that, trust
ing to the dispensation of Heaven, whose
justice is dispensed with mercy, when
they shall be brought before the bar of that
great tribunal, there will be found in the
fact of their previous lives some small
grounds upon which God may say-Par-
don ~
Our Democratic cotemporartes are gen
orally ready to quote from Reverdy John
son. We hope they will publish the
foregoing extract.

with all his strength and cunning, the
walrus IS no match for the polar bear
In August the walrus makes his way to
the shore, draws his huge body upon the
rocks and there basks in the sunshine
Ever watching for his prey, the bear
mounts the overhanging cliffs, and lifting
large rock with his forepaws, and cal
culatlng the distance and the curvature
with the accuracy of a mathematician, he
hurls the rock on the animals head, crush,
ing in the ponderous skull then, like an
arrow, the bear rushes down the cliff, and
If the walrus still lives, he hammers away
with the same rock till the beast is dead.
Bear-hunting is one the most exciting
scenes of the polar regions. A large She
beer, with four months old cub, was at
tackled first by the dogs, which she caught
up and flung, first one and then another
to great distance. During the strug-
gle, the cub was wounded with pistol
ball. At once the mother placed the
cub between her hind legs, and showing
1T along sought fight but, wounded her
self, she faced about, rose upon her mind
quarters, placed the cub between her hind
legs and bade defiance to her pursuers-
Wounded again, she fell dead, and the
cub mounted the dead body of its mother,
and continued the fight till captured.
Since the days of Job, there has been
no such patience as is now displayed by
the Esquimau, when in winter he is hunt
ing the seal. Having ascertaned where
the seal is gnawing beneath the ice for
breathing hole, the hunter perlorates the
spot with a slender bone rod, with point
at one end and knob at the other, which
is moved By the seal in coming to the sur
face. This many occupy twenty four
hours. The hunter then builds wall of
snow, four feet high, to shelter him from
the wind. Seating himself behind it, he
places by his side his spear aud lines
He must preserve the utmost silence, that
he may hear the seal at work and not
cause fright to the animal. He even binds
his knees together with a thong to pre-,
vent the rustling of his clothes. And
there he sits for twenty four hours wait
ing the coming of the seal to the surface,
when he cautiously rises with spear in
hand, and the long sought for seal is his.

Down the Hill.

The evening of every mans life is COM
ing on apacc. The day of life will soon
be spent. The sun, though it may be up
in the mid heaven, will pass swiftly down
the western sky aud disappear. What
shall light up mans path when the sun
of life has gone down; He must travel on
to the next world but what shall illume
his footsteps after the Gishtfall of death,
amid the darkness of his journey? What
question Is more important, more practi-
cal, more solemn for each reader of our
journal to ask himself? That is long
journey to travel without friend. Yet
every man must perform it. The time is
not far distant when all men will begin
the journey. There is an evening star
in the natural world. Its radiance is
bright and beautiful, and cheering to the
benighted traveller. But life's star is iu
good hope of heaven. Its beauty and
brillianey are reflected from the Sun of
Righteousness, whose bright rays light
up the evening Of life, aud throw their
radiance quite across the darkness of the
grave into Immanuel's laud. 1t has IL
Illuminated the footsteps of many traveller
into eternity. 1t is of priceless value
A thousand worlds cannot purchase it !;
yet it is offered without money and with
out price to him who will penitently and
thankfully receive it. Reader, will you
take it?

hour with bottle of strong sage tea,

day give that horse feed of rough rice,
and the dead bots will be elected with the
rice. My theory is, that the milk and
molasses being sweeter than blood, the
bots turn loose to eat it. The sage tea
will kill them, and it is the only thing |
ever heard of that will do it without in.
jury to the horse The rice will dislodge
the dead bots better than salts; in fact, if
you will give horses a feed of rough rice
every two weeks, | do not think there is
the least danger from bots F.; at least such
is my experience. As a proof of what |
have written, get two sage leaves, dip
them in hot water. lay one down and put
lively bot on it, then cover him with
the other, and he will die instantly =
Sage tea have also found very beneficial
in collie !; it is perfectly harnless, if it does
no good.

NO. 80.

The Russian Government has recent
ly been engaged in reconstructing its
army on the principle of general con-
scription. The period of liability to SER
vice is to commence at twenty one, and to
last for fifteen years Graduates of the
higher schools and universities, however,
are not required to enter the army until
the age Of twenty seven, aud pupils of
the middle schools are not drafted until
the age of twenty two. The period of
active service varies according to the de-
gree of education. University graduates
are only required to remain in the army
for six months graduates of gymnasiums,
and lyceums for year, and so on down
to the illiteaate, who are obliged to serve
for six years. The causes of exemptions
are very numerous mo military service is
required from only sons, artisans elA-
ploying five journeymen, foremen of
manufacturing establishments, clergymen
of all denominations, choristers in the
Russian churches, teachers, physicians,
apothecaries, and veterinary surgeons.
Notwithstanding these aud other special
exemptions, the Russian army in time Of
war, it is calculated, will consist of ,653,-
393 men and 500 officers of all ranks.
Of these, 32,S17 officers and 1882, ,543
soldiers are to be stationed in European
Russia, and 4,07l officers and 163 ,2lI
men in the Caucasus. The above force
will be distributed into 1898 battallions
of infantry and 280 squadrons of cavalry.
The artillery will be armed with 2,574
guns. In time of peace the number of
troops under arms will amount to 34,40T
officers and 10000 men.

The Fisk inquest is concluded and the
coroner's jury found that the deceased
had come to his death from the wounds
of a pistol ball, discharged at him in a
deliberate manner" by Edward S. Stokes.
Stokes declined to say anything relative
to the charge against him, and his coun-
sci, in a lengthy address, then asked the
coroner not to return the proceedings,
which should be reduced to writing, un-
til the next Criminal Court. His reason
for this request was that the public ex
citement might have some time to wear
away. He again referred to the McFar
land trial and said:
Had Mcfarland been tried within thir-
ty days after the Coroner's verdict he
must have been convicted. But when
sober second thought came upon the pub
lie mind, always sure to follow in case
of that kind, he was not only acquainted,
by the public so incensed against him,
but almost received the thanks of the
jury for the act originally committed.
We imagine that it will be some time
before Stokes "receves the thanks Of
any jury for numbering Fisk
1t is stated that, when all debts become
settled, the estate of the late James Fisk,
will not realize over 100000. His life
was insured for $40, 900 in the Equitable
Insurance Company. His acquisitions
were large, but his extravagances were
great. He sunk about $3.50 600 while run
ming the several companies of the grand
opera house. John II. Corner, lately Fisk S
private secretary, will be his administra-
tor. 1t is reported that the Grand Cen
tral hotel sent Corner bill for $500 for
the use of a couple of rooms occupied by
the dying Fisk and friends from Satur
day evening till Sunday afternoon. A
certain amount of damage to carpets may
have occurred to the hotel through the
large crowd assembling there to view his
body, but nothing to warrant the exorbit,
ant charge made Coroner Young took
from the person of Fisk diamond studs, a
very expensive gold watch and chain and
jeweled sleeve buttons, valued at 50 800
In addition to these he had 1900 in
money in his pockets. Fisk is said to
have given $4,000 for the diamond stud
he habitually wore. The coroner holds
them at the disposal of Mrs. Fisk.-Ec.
