THE TARANTULA.

Horrible and loathsome as the rat
tlesnake is, and though, on the whole,
he is of course, more feared than any
other creature in America, yet, on the
western frontier, he is not dreaded so
much as the tarantula spider. This is
an enemy against whom none can guard,
and for whose bite no remedy has been
found. Such alarm do they inspire, that
l have known large party of men, who
had ''camped OUT all through snake
country, and through the midst of hos
tile Indians, driven from desirable po-
sition by discovering that tarantulas in
tested the spot. The tarantula spider
commonly grows to the size of half a
large walnut, being thick and rounded
something like the half-shell, and has
eight long legs, two at each corner. 1t
is covered with long hair, and is, indeed,
as ugly and disgusting a reptile or In
sect, or whatever it is, as can easily be
seen. The people who dwell where
these spiders most abound, declare most
stoutly that they attain size equal to
the clinched fist of man, but [ think
that this is great exaggeration at any
rate, | have never seen any approach
this size. | do not know but there are
several varieties of the tarantula, but
some are said to haunt the marshy bor-
ders of streams, while others are found
in dry, rocky places. Last summer a
woman was bitten near this district by
one, Just above her ankle; the poison
acted quite as quickly as serpent poison,
and she was carried to the nearest town
for surgical advice. have not heard
whether she lived or died, but her leg
was one uniform size from the instep to
above the knee-I should think eight
cen or twenty fnches-and shockingly
discolored and infamed. [ knew one
of two men who were sleeping in a tent
when tarantula found its way in
They were both bitten by the same spi-
der; one died, the other was SCARED for
life. The tarantula is more dangerous
than other venomous creatures, because
light attracts it, and it will always
crawl into a tent, if possible, where a
light is burning.

THE LAST HOURS OF MR.. AND
MRS. FISHER.

MRS. FISHER.
The Rutland Herald says: The prob
abilities are that the bodies of Cyrus NJ.
Fisher and his wife, Mrs. Mary J. rip
ley) Fisher, will never be recovered
We CLEAN from the statements of surviv-
ors who have reached Boston and New
York, the following particulars. The
Steward said: ''As [ left the compan-
ionway, Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher and Miss
Merritt were standing there Il suppose
they never got out" S. W. Wick, cab
in passenger. says: "After [ had reach
ed the deck and was endeavoring to
make the best effort to save my life, as
I looked down the cabin stairway, l saw
Mr.. Fisher and his wife making for the
upper deck the water was then filling
up the state rooms on both sides, and it
seemed impossible for any human being
below to escape death. Mrs. Fisher
called upon her husband to save himself
but he refused unless she was also saved ;
and thus both of them lost precious time
she paralyzed with fear and almost
frozen, he, too faithful to leave her to
perish and satisfied to die with her; a
moment ended that, for an immense wave
dashed over the bulwarks and the two
disappeared from sight forever; this
wave, too, ended the suffering of those
below, for when it had passed away
scarcely sound could be heard either
in the cabin or steerage."
Another cabin passenger, whose name
is not given, said: "Mr. and Mrs. Cy.
rus nj. Fisher, of Vergennes, Vt, who
were among the lost, were general fa.
vorites with the passengers. They es
: capped from their state room to the decl
and thence to the rigging, the husband
bravely protecting his wife as best h
could. AS the excitement increased
and the vessel was going down, the boat
were upset and untitled for use, and tn
chances Of escape grew less and les
hopeful with every passing moment
Mrs. Fisher besought her husband t
leave her and save himself; with tear
in her eyes she begged him to get int
one of the boats, but he would not. Th
!, crowding of men and women into tn
rigging, the numbing of their limbs b
the cold, and exhaustion consequent UP
on the frequent sweeping over them c
the waves, proved too much for bot
husband and wife. The latter was th
first to give up, and despite her husband
> exertions, she was swept into the sea-
Powerless in limb and despairing /
heart the husband retained his place
few moments only, yielding to the fore
: of a huge wave that came crushing alon
with resistless force, and falling I'M
:, the water within few feet of the plat
where his wife disappeared"

Buffalo Bill was at Hartford, the 9TH
er day, and while visiting Colts armo-
ry. the large number of spectators who
had assembled to see the famous scout
desired to see the famous exhibition of
his skill as marksman. Bill gave the
chew of tobacco in his mouth to small
boy to keep warm, small piece of white
paper was put up on a barn door fifty
rods distant, B. William seized q fine
new rife, spit on his hands, and, in the
manner so often described by Ned Bunt-
line, raised the rifle until his nose rest
ed on the stock, fired, and a picket was
knocked off from fence ten feet to the
left of the barn. This rifle barrel is
crooked" said Bill, and thereupon he
hit it over stone to straighted it, then
shot again, this time barking the shin
of an old pie woman on the right flank.
A third trial and he hit the barn fair in
the center, and the shout that arose from
the assemblage attested the joy of the
spectators at his success. Bill is just
as good an actor as he is marksman,
which is very remarkable in these days
of corruption and bribery.-Daabu7y

The INDIAN Policy ENDoRsED.-A New
York despatch says that the Board of Indian
Commissioners unanimously adopted report
approving the Presidents Indian policy After
speaking of the causes which lead to the revolt
of the Modocs, and often previously puDhsned,
the commissioners in alluding ito the assassina-
ton of Gen. Candy and Peace Commissioner
Thomas, say treachery so base admits OF no
no,,;ot;on nor can any punishment meted
p~t tha narnetrators of the crime be too severe,
The Madoc war 1t is held, however, cannot be
ohoroed AGAINST the Presidents policy, and it
;s a1so affirmed that the misdeedS of individual
TnJ;ans or bands should not be charged against
tbe innocent, or upon the race. The red man
has no friends to take his side of the story, and
no degree of exaggeration or falsehood is too
gross to be unhesitatingly accepted by the pub-
lie mind against him. The report saws II has
never been the expectation of the friends of
the Indian policy that it would in the short No.
riod of few years civilize the savage tribes
nor could it be expected to bring the red man i,
three years to become as free from crime ac th a
whites 1t is the opponents of the policv who
expect the Indian to be more free from Grim.
inallty than the people of our most civilized
communities. -Four years of trial has proved tha
peace policy to be a success, and with the excen-
ton OF a contest with few bands of Apaches and
sne present unhappy struggle with handful of
Hiodoc braves, the country has been saved from
Indian wars. Christian denominations are in
yited to cooperate. Then the most inveterate
1ndian haters will hardly venture to complain

THE Grand Trunk Arrangements Act,
which was approved by the Governor Gener-
er last Saturday, authorizes an increase of
capital sufficient to change the gauge from
from Stratford to this city and procure steel
rails for the entire line. Mr.. Bridges in
formed the Parliamentary Committee that
the whole would be done as soon as the ma
terial and men men could be obtained to dc
the work. The chief point which the Rail.
way Committee had to consider was how such
an augmentation of capital would affect par
ties already intereated. 1t was shown, how
ever, that all parties concerned would have
their positions greatly improved and that
there were no remonstrants whose represen-
tations were entitled to weight.

BREATHING FREER-The stock speculators,

the changeable atmosphere Of the stock and

Just at present, however, is favorable. Tmpor-

these, with other causes, in addition to the ease
which the government payment of the May in
