An Old-FashiOned Bear Story.
from the Poughkeepsie Eagle,

lIAVh thO AoushnCOPoiO I4dSiotJ
Last Friday, Matthew Woodwork, H. De
Wall, an old hunter, and German known as
'Dutch Fred,', started on bear hunt from
Chesterville. They traversed the mountains
three bears, when immediate preparations
were made to hunt the game down. For
hours they followed the animals over noun
tain raviues and precipices and by the sides
of the streams, but at last they holed them at
point about quarter of mile from Ph9-
nicia, ON the Rondout and Oswego railroad,
hamlet containing six or eight buildings.
They vainly endeavored to get the CRITTERS
out of their hiding place, when III. d." as
he is familiarly known, exclaimed, ''Wall, l
guess we've got to smoke the hairy cusses."
Dry brush aud twigs were gathered in large
quantities, and a tinder-box was impressed
into service. In few moments dense vol
umes of smoke were rolling about the hole
and penetrating far into the interior. The
hunters crouched about the entrance and
awaited the result. Suddenly ''Dutch Fred''
exclaimed, "Gone away! Gone away! Dere
were at onco centered upon the mouth of the
hole, and, sure enough, the black nose of a
cub made its appearance, quickly followed by
another. Both were the noses of young
bears. Begin thoroughly uneducated in the
escape business they were easily caught
and at once dispatched. But the hardest
fight was to come. Old bruin, deserted by
his offspring, would not be smoked out. A
council of war was held, when it was decided
that one of the party should 60 in after him,
so that he could be dragged out. 1t was
risky work, and the lot fell on ''Dutch Fred"
He was fully equal to the task. He procured
a rope, and getting down on his stomach,
crawled in, leaving nothing outside but his feet
and kick from him was to be the signal for
dragging him out. He hadn't been gone
more than half a minute before his feet mov-
ed vigorously and it was evident that severe
tussle was going on inside. Woodwork and
''H. D." gave him terrible "yank" and
brought him out as III. D." said ''fukin. -
His hands and face were covered with blood,
and his clothes were badly torn, but he had
one end of the rope in his hand, having Sc.
curely and successfully fastened the other end
around the bears body, though in the tussle
he got badly "chawed." With hard pull
and strong pull and pull altogether they
brought his bearship to daylight, and though
he made desperate resistance they nnaly
cmbbed him to death. When dressed he
weighed nearly four hundred pounds. Dutch
Fred'' is having an overcoat made of his skin
which is black and glossy.

RAILROAD BUILDING IN THE CARoLINAs.

The Statesville IN. C.) american says:
Since the war, there was built and rebuilt
nearly 200 miles of railroads in North and
South Carolina, without any State aid from
either, among poor, destitute people-much
of the country along the line having been laid
in utter ruin by Sherman's army, and almost
in state of revolution, without confidence,
pecuniary means, or credit in it. To rebuild
about fifty miles of the Charlotte and South
Carolina Railroad, its shops and bridges, with
all its war debts hanging upon him, we learn
that Colonel Johnston only had about seven
ty-three bales of cotton. When the war
closed, $4,000 worth of grading only had
been done on the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad-the company saving out of the
wreck about 1000 bales of cotton. In the
fall of 1856, the stockholders requested him
to go on and build the road. In 1870, the
road was finished, and is eighty-fiye miles
long. The Congress and Savannah bridges
alone cost 100000 in the aggregate-more
than the proceeds of the sales of the cotton
and all other means of the company in hand
when he began the work; while the road cost
over 50 000,0 900.

PROGRESS OF A MARYLAND TOwN.-A
Frederick, Nd, correspondent of the Balti-
more American says: ''During che war,
owing to the presence of large armies and the
influx of many citizens, strangers in our
midst, the business of Frederick increased in
comparison with what it had been at least
tour fold. Some of our merchants grew sud-
denly wealthy, and this was an incentive for
others who had money to embark in the same
line Of business The result is that Freder-
ick is crowded with stores, it being within the
bounds OF truth to say that there are now at
least two stores for one before the war. A
fact well worthy of mention in this connec-
tion is that very few failures occur among
our business men, and have heard it said
that the character and ability OF our Freder-
ick merchants have maintained for them
credit which in the main has been and still is
unquestionable."

Mr.. SUMNER proposes an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
that no citizen shall hold the office of
President more than once. He does not
however, propose that the amendment
shall prevent the re election of any one
to that office next fall, who once before
had been President The amendment
shall only affect Presidential elections
that are to follow that of 1872.
1t will be seen and understood at a
glance, that Mr. Sumner is not aiming at
President Grant He does not frame his
general law for special case. If the
Senator had shown disposition to affect
the impending election, he certainly
would find few to advocate the amend
ment As the proposal stands to-day, it
is honorable if it should, in its legislative
course, assume any other form, it should
be defeated.

Woman Suffrage In Wyoming.

1t is known that woman has the right
to vote and hold Office in Wyoming. Re-
Gently the Legislature passed bill re-
pealinS those rights conferred upon the
ladies. Governor Campbell promptly
vetoes the bill. An effort was made to
pass it over the Governors veto, but it
did not succeed, and the ladies there still
enjoy the right. The following is por-
ton of the Governor veto message:
ain this Territory women have mani
tested for its highest interests in devotion,
strong. ardent and intelligent. They
have brought to public affairs clearness
of understanding and soundness of
Judgment which, considering their exclu-
sion hitherto from practical participation
in political agitation and movements, are
worthy of the greatest admiration, and
above all praise. The conscience of wo-
man in all things i. more discriminating
and sensitive than that of men; their
sense of justice not compromising or
time.serving. but pure and exacting /;
their love of order not spasmodic or SEN
timental merely, but springing from the
heart. All these the better conscience,
the exalted sense of Justice and the abid-
ing love of order have been made by the
of women to contribute
to the good government and we'll being
of our Territory. To the plain teachings
of these two years cannot close my
eyes,"

The President on Civil Service Reform.

The President, in his message. accom-
panied by the report Of the civil service
commission, TO the Hosse just before the
holiday recess, impresees the reader with
the belief that he ishedrtily in favor of
civil service reform. He accepts and
adopts all of the rules framed and report
ed by the commissioners. 1t will be
amusing to see the gentlemen in Congress
who berated the President for not doing
something for civil service reform. "rise
to explain" how it comes that he is, after
all that has been said, still the foremost
man in the civil service reform move
ment ..-
By the adoption of the rules of the
commission the disgraceful scrambles at
the White House for the appointment to
office is almost entirely removed. In each
of the departments of the Government a
commission will be appointed. whose duty
it will be to examine into the character,
health, and age of the applicant for Of
fee in the civil service, and also as to his
qualification in speaking, reading and
writing the English language; excepting
the following officers. who will be ap-
pointed, without an examination, by the
President the heads of departments, as
sistant secretaries of departments. assist
ant attorney-gencral and assistant post
master general. solicitor general. solicitor
of the treasury, naval solicitor, solicitor
of internal revenue, examiner of claims
in the State Department. treasurer of the
United States, register of the Treasury,
first and second controllers of the Trea-
sury. judges of the United States courts, ,
district attorneys, private secretary of
the President, ambassadors and other
public ministers, superintendent of the |
coast survey, director of the mint, gov,
ernors of Territories, special commission
ers, special counsel of visiting and exam
lining boards, persons appointed to posi-
tions without compensation for their ser
vices, despatch agents and bearers of
dispatches, and postmaster whose annual
salary is less than two hundred dollars.
The heads OF departments at Wash
ington commenced the adoption of the
rules on the first of the new year.
