LIVE NAMMoTHs DISCOVERED
Anybody tired of fox-hunting might,
according to a Russian. Cheriton,
find some sport in Siberia. In his
accounts of his exploits he says that
one day he found the wide and lofty
entrance to a cave. He entered with
some precautions, for the rocky
pavement was worn as If by use, and
within he heard a slow measured
movement, as of an animal gently ru-
minating, and heavily breathing, with
great, calm inspirations and expira-
tons, like the sigh of a smiths bel
lows. One turn, and then another,
he heard a heavy, startling snort,
and there, in the half light of the
cave, standing still before him, alive,
chewing the cud, and waving its pro-
boscis to and fro with q slow, gentle,
majestic motion, he saw-a man.
moth! Il did not know then," said
Cheriton, "what l have since been
told, that Siberia was an old habi-
tation of these animals, and that
some of the best scientific judges
are uncertain whether to look upon
the remains found upon the shores
of the Arctic Ocean as fossil animals,
or as the remnant of wandering
herds caught and persisted in storms,
individuals of which may still exist
under favorable circumstances. With
out intending it, l have solved that
doubt" Cheriton describes the
mammoth as being a very imposing
looking animal, covered with reddish
brown wool and long black hair.
During his stay in the valley he was
close to five of them, oil of which
we're nearly of a size, being about
twelve feet high, eighteen feet long,
with tusks projecting about four feet,
and being about eight to ten feet
counting the curve. The skin, which
was bare on the upper surface of the
ears, on the knees and rump, was a
mouse color, and seemed very thick.
The animal was nocturnal in its hab
its, %freqnenting of forest
depths by day, and feeding at night
or early morning. Cheriton thinks
there might be some fifteen o rtwenty
of these monsters together.

How a Woman Corners a Hen.

When a woman has a hen to drive
into a coop she takes hold of her hoops
with both hands, shakes them quiet
ly toward the delinquent, and says,
"SheW! there" The hen takes one
look at the object to convince herself
it's a woman, and then stalks majesti-
cally into the coop, in perfect disgust
of the sex. A man don't do that way.
He goes out doors and says, cit is sin
gular nobody in this house can drive
a hen but myself, aiand picking up
stick Of wood hurls it at the offending
biped, and observes "get in there, you
thief" The hen Immediately looses
her reason and dashes to the opposite
end of the yard. The man straight
way dashes after her. She comes back
again with her head down, her wings
out, and followed by an assortment of
stove-wood, fruit-cans and coal-clink-
ers, with a much-puffing and very mad
man in the rear. Then she skins ND
on the stoop and under the barn, and
over fence or two and around the
house, and back again to the coop, all
the while talking as only an excited
hen can talk, and all the while follow
ed by things convenient for handling,
and by a man whose coat is on the
ground, and whose perspiration and
profanity appear to have no limit. By
this time the other hens have come out
to take hand in the debate, and help
dodge the missles-and then the man
says every hen on the place shall be
sold in the morning, and puts on his
things and goes down street, and the
woman dons her hoops and has every
one of those hens housed and contented
in two minutes, and the only sound
heard on the premises is the hammer
ing by the Oldest boy as he mends tie
broken pickets. -Dan6ury Neavs. ..'

THE. BEAR CHASE.
FROM THE FRENCH.

One evening, a short time after the
battle of Fontenot, (1745,) a group
of the kings body-guard was congre-
gated near the Matona basin, at Yer
sailles, listening to two Of their num-
Der discussing a subject which at that
period was rarely matter of contro-
versy in military circles.
'Refuse duel after public afrontp'
exclaimed the tallest of the speakers,
whose bronzed features were rendered
almost ferocious by thick red mus
tache; cit is a stain that all the waters
Of the deluge would not wash away
81 repeat, Monsieur de Malatour,"
replied the other in a calm, polite tone,
"that there is more true courage in re-
fusing than in accepting a duel
What is more common than to yield
to passion, envy, or vengeance; and
what more rare than to resist them?
Therefore it is virtue when exhibited
at the price Of public opinion for what
costs nothing, is esteemed as worth
nothing"
GA marvel! Monsieur d'Argentre,
I would advise, if ever the king gives
you the command of company, to
have engraven on the sabres of the
soldiers the COMMUNICATIONS

"And wherefore not? His majesty
would have better servants, and the
country fewer plunderers, if we had in
our regiments more soldiers and few
er DULLES. Take, as an example, him
with whom you seem SO much incens-
ed; has he not nobly avenged what
you call an afront by taking, with his
own hands, an enemy's colors, while
your knaves most likely formed pru-
dent reserve behind the baggage ?"
"Cowards themselves have their mo-
ments of courage"
"And the brave also their moments
Of fear.''
"The expression is not that Of a gen
tleman."
''It is that Of Monsieur de Turenne,
whose family equalled either of ours,

empt from such moments. Everybody

docio, who boosted in his presence that
he had never known fear. He sudden

To the Queen.

O loyal to the royal in myself
And loyal to thy land as this to thee
Bear Witness that rememberable day
When, pale as yet, and fever-worn, the Prince,
Who scarce had pluck d his Pickering lifeagain
From halfway down the shadow of the grave,
Past with thee thro' thy people and their love,
And London roll'd one tide Of joy thro' all
Her trebled millions and long leagues of man
And welcome. Witness, too, the silent cry,
The prayer of many race and creed and cline
Thunderless lightnings striking under sea
From sunset and sunrise of all thy realm.
And that true North, whereof we lately heard
A strain to shame us-''Keep you to yourselves:
So loyal is too costly!" Friends-your love
Is. but a burden: loose the bond, and go.
Is this the tone of Empire? Here the faith
That made US rulers? This, indeed, her voice
And meaning, whom the roar of Hougoumont
Left mightiest of all peoples under Heaven?
What shock has fool'd her since, that eshould
speak
So feebly g? Wealthier-wealthier- by
hour
The voice of Britain, or a sinking land
Some third-rate isle half-lost among her seas -!
There rang her voice when the full city pealed
Thee and thy Prince! The loyal to their Crown
Are loyal to their own far sons, who love
Our Ocean Empire with her boundless homes
For ever-broadening England, and her throne
In our vast Orient, and one isle, one isle,
That knows not her own greatness. If she
knows
And breads it we are fall 'n-but thou, my Queen,
Nor for itself, but thro' thy living love
For one to whom l made it o er his grave
Sacred, accept this old imperfect tale.
New-old, and the shadowing Sense at war with
Soul,
Rather than that gay King, whose name, a ghost,
Streams Ikea cloud, man-shaped from mountain
peak
And cleaves to Cairn and Cromlech still or him
Of Geofrey's book or him of Malleor's one
Touch'd by the adulterous finger of time
That lowered between war and wantonness,
And crownings and achievements take withal
Thy poets blessing, and his trust that heaven
Will blow the tempest in the distance back
From thine and ours. For some are scared who
mark
Or wisely or unwisely, sign of storm,
Wayerings of every vane with every wind,
And wordy trucklings to the transient hour,
And fierce or careless looseners of the faith,
And softness breeding scorn of simple life,
Or cowardice, the child of lust for gold,
Or labor, with groan and not voice,
a ala t H Aa RfSS5 Bot cafed FOR ITSELF
And that which knows not, ruling that which
knows,
To it's own harm. The goal of this great world
Lies hey ond sight yet-if our slowly grown
And crown'd republics crowning common
sense,
That saved her many times, not fail-their fears
Are morning shadows huger than the shapes
That cast them, not those gloomier which torego
The darkness Of that battle in the west,
Where all thigh and holy dies away.

Alexander q. Stephens.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says: re-.
Alexander H. Stephens emerged from
the Kimball House, wrapped up in
three oyercoats and horse blanket.
The bundle with white head sticking
out was put in a carriage right end up,
and propped in position by two crutch-
les. The bundle then coughed, and
said it was all right, and away the car
riage rolled to the Capitol. The bun
die was then taken out, unrolled, till
stephens was found. Leaning on two
stout men, with two more carrying
each crutch, the procession entered
the House of Representatives. The
building was packed as full as ever I
saw it packed before. Ladies, politi-
clans, members of the Legislature, citi-
zens, niggers and children had all
turned out.
When Stephensappeared, there went
up shout. 1t was long and loud,
and was followed by another louder

An Old Newspaper.

We clip the following interesting
account of an old newspaper, from the
columns of the Democratic Messenger,
published at Snow Hill, Nd, which
was recently exhibited in that office:
We have received recently from Mr..
Irving Spence newspaper, dated De-
cember 31st, 1899, and called the East
ern Shore Herald and Zntezzigeecer.-
The paper was published at Easton,
and is in mourning for the death Of
General Washington. Mr.. Spence
found it among some old papers at
home, where it has been lying, we sup
pose, for the last seventy-one years.
There is some curious and interesting
reading in this old paper. Among
other things is a letter from Patrick
Henry, dated April 16, 1899, to the
Hon. I. Pickering, Esq, Secretary of
State, declining the mission to France
to which he had just been appointed.
He declined on account Of his advanced
age and increasing debility. The most
interesting of all, however, is letter
written from Georgetown, and dated
December 20, giving an account of the
funeral of General Washington. It
says:
Con Wednesday last the mortal part Of
Washington, the Great, the Father Of his
Country, and the Friend of Man, was con-
signed to the tomb, with solemn honors
and funeral pomp. A multitude of per-
sons assembled from many miles around,
at Mount Vernon, the choice abode and
last residence of the illustrious chief
There were the groves, the spacious aven-
ues, the beautiful and sublime scenes, the
noble mansion-but alas! the august in
habitant was no more. The great soul
was gone. = y In the long
and lofty portico where oft the hero walk
ed in all his glory, now lay the shrouded
corpse. The countenance, still composed
and serene, seemed to express the dignity
of the spirit which lately dwelt in that
llifeless form. + y 4 On the
ornament at the head of the coffin was in
scribed, Surge ad Judiciuno; about the mid
die of the coffin, Gloria dec. = x
Between three and four o'clock, the sound
Of artillery from vessel in the river, firing
minute guns, aWoke afresh our solemn sor-
row-the corpse was moved-a band of
music with mournful melody melted the
soul into all the tenderness of Woe"
Here is given the order in which the
procession was formed and moved,
giving the name and position of each
pail bearer. Then is given an account
of the ceremonies at the vault, which
consisted Of the marching of infantry
and cavalry, the firing Of artillery and
the reading of the funeral service of
the church. The letter concludes with
a glowing tribute to the virtues and
worth of the departed hero, and truly
says that s'the unclouded brightness
of his glory will illuminate future
ages"

and resolution had obtained firm and
habitual ascendency over it. If ever,
however, it broke its bonds, he was
most tremendous in wrath. In his
Expenses he was honorable, but exact;
liberal in contributions to whatever
promised utility; but frowning and
unyielding on all visionary projects,
and all unworthy calls on his charity.
His heart was not warm in its afec-
tons; but he exactly calculated every
mans value, and gave him solid es-
TEEN proportional to it. His person,
you know, was fine, his stature exactly
what one would wish, his department
easy, erect and noble; the best horse
man of his age, and the most graceful
figure that could be seen on horseback.
Although in the circle of his friends,
where he might be unreserved with
safety, he took a free share in CONVEX
sation, his colloquial talents were not
above mediocrity, possessing neither
|copiousness of ideas, nor fuency of
words. In public, when called on for
a sudden opinion, he was unready,
short and embarrassed. Yet he wrote
readily, rather diffusely, in an easy and
correct style. This he had acquired
by conversation with the world, for his
Education was merely reading, writing
and common arithmetic, to which he
added surveying at later day. His
time was employed in action chiefly
reading little, and that only in agri-
culture and English history. His cor
Irespondence became necessarily extern
sive, and, with journalizing his agri-
cultural proceedings, occupied most of
his leisure hours within doors. On
the whole, his character was, in it's
mass, perfect, in nothing bad, in few
points Indifferent; and it may truly be
said, that never did nature and fortune
combine more perfectly to make man
great, and to place him in the same
constellation with whatever worthless
have merited from man an everlasting
remembrance. For his was the .singu-
lar destiny and merit, of leading the
armies of his country successfully
through an arduous war, for the es-
Establishment of it's independence; of
conducting its councils through the
birth of government, new in its forms
and principles, until it had settled
down into quiet and orderly train;
and of scrupulously obeying the laws
through the whole of his career. civil
anu n1fITGary, or WHICH the history or
the world furnishes no other example.
