to the last The grizzly has lordly. in
dependent bearing, and on his native
mo ,ntain sides or in the forests, will hardly
deign to make room for man himself. If
you meet one in the road, the chances are
that he will not budge an inch, unless he
happens to be in an accommodating mood.
and then he will trot out one side IA few
yards, rear himself upon his enormous
launches. and graciously wait for you to
pass. No matter whether you are armed
with a breach-loading Ballard, needie-gun.
Winchester, or sharpe. never attack
grizzly alone. or out in the open country.
The only safe position is on the back of
a good horse, or in the limbs Of cotton
wood tree. Many persons, disregarding
this advice. have paid for their temerity
with their lives; for no matter where you
shoot a grizzly, whether through the heart
or brain box, he never gives up the ghost
without a struggle, and will fight as long
rs he can lift a paw. Practical illustra-
tions of the fighting powers Of the grizzly
are to be seen in these mountain regions
nearly every day. The other morning
your correspondent encountered a miner
from Fairplay, who had come down to the
valley region for supplies. His personal
appearance was, to say the least, peculiar.
He carried his right arm in a sling; one
eye was twisted upwards; his face was
scratched and torn, and indented with
ridges; while his head was as guiltless
of hair us billiard ball. At first /
supposed he had been invited by some of
the friendly Indians to Il scalping picnic
as Il chief performer; but, in conversation,
it turned out that he had received each
and all these grievous wounds from the
claws of a grizzly.
The grizzly bear attains his full growth
in four years. At six he is in his prime
and able to cope with any animal in ex-
istence. The majestic lion may be con-
sidered the king of beasts, so far us looks
are concerned, but he would stand Il very
poor show in the hug of grizzly. The
average weight ofa grizzly is 800 pounds
but quite a number have been killed in
this locality who kicked the beam at 1,S00
Old man Griffin, of Cannon, one of the
early settlers, and reputed to be the sharp
est and most courageous bear hunter il
these parts, knocked over a grizzly last fal
that weighed 10000 pounds after being
, dressed. The claws of this fellow wer,

Social Qualities of the Bear.

The mountain ranges of Colorado are
well supplied with bears and during the
fall of the year, when the plums and
grapes are ripe, it is nothing unusual to
stumble upon a dozen or so of the brutes
in half an hours walk There are three
distinct species; the common brown or
black bear, which still maintains a pre-
carious foothold in many of the Eastern
States, and is hunted with much ceremony; i;
the cinnamon, and the genuine grizzly.
The cinnamon chap is about the color of
brick dust and his fighting weight ranges
all the way from 800 to 1000 pounds. He
is n supple, active brute, and inclined to
be genuine coward. Meet him in a Sc
cluded place and he will skulk off with his
tail between his legs, like coyote; but
he is apt to prove a dangerous customer
when wounded and brought to bay. Then
he assumes the offensive, and Il true rifle
and steady nerve are required on the part
of the sportsman, or his bearship will pro-
ceed to form an acquaintance more close
than agreeable. If a good tree is at hand,
and the hunter can scale it, so much the
better, as the cinnamons do not climb
and knowledge of this fact tends to re-
store confidence The majority of men l
conversed with prefer to hunt them in this
way In some instances the cinnamon
after being badly hit, rushes at the tree up
which his antagonist has climbed for deal
| life, seizes it in his teeth, and claws and
attempts to tear it down. At this critical
Ejuncture it is best for the hunter to pre-
serve his composure and not fly off the
handle. The bear may keep him impris
oned an hour or so, but Bruin has n small
stock of patience, and when he ascertain
that the position is impregnable, he give
up the job in disgust, and retires in goot
order.
The grizzly, however, stands at tn
head of the bear family. and is more feare'
and respected than all others. He is
treacherous. sullen, malicious, desperate
ill-pannered, uncouth. shaggy brute-on
which stubbornly resists all advances to
ward friendship, and is. ready at any tim
to die in the last ditch. Like the immor
tai . Old Guard " of Napoleon, your gen
luine grizzly never surrenders, but is gam

Aunarent Death-..SOme Strange Stories,

In the islands of the Greek archipelago.
where the business of gathering sponges
from the bottom Of the sea is pursued,
children are not allowed to drink wine un-
til, by practice, they have grown accus-
toned to remain Il certain time under wa
ter. Old divers of the archipelago say
that the time to return and take breath at
the surface is indicated to them by painful
convulsions of the limbs, and very severe
contractions in the region of the heart
The power OF enduring asphyxia for some
time, and resisting by force of will the
movements of perspiration. has been re-
marked under other circumstances. The
case of Hindoo is mentioned, who used
to creep into the palisaded enclosures used
for bathing, in the Ganges, by the ladies
of Calcutta, seize one of them by the legs,
drown her. and rob her of her rings. One
of his intended victims succeeded in escap-
ing; the murderer was seized and execut-
ed in 1917 He confessed that he /, had
practiced the horrid business for sever
years.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARDs.-Mr. Hea
X. CITY Solicitor of Boston, is not turning
out such a great authority on Massachu-
satts Constitutional Law after all. He is
the man on whose opinion the majority of
the Boston School Committee acted when
they refused to allow the ladies elected
last November TO take their places in that
Committee There does not appear to
have been any question made upon wheth
ct the Statute law forbade them to act, but
the adverse opinion rested upon an inter
pretation of the Constitution alone. The
House of Representatives asked the opinion
of the Supreme Court judges on the effect
of the constitution and the following opin-
ion was received Friday by the House, and
read amid great applause:
The justices of the supreme judicial
court respectfully submit the following
answer to the question upon which their
opinion was required by the order of the
honorable House of Representatives of the
10th day of the present month. The ques-
ton is stated in these words: 4" Under the
constitution of this commonwealth can IA
woman be member of a school commit
tee?"
The question is limited to the effect of
the constitution upon the capacity of a
woman to hold this office, and involves no
Interpretation of statutes. If the consti-
tuition prevents a woman from being a
member of school committee. it must, by
force OF some express provision thereof
or else by necessary implication arising
either from the nature of the office itself
or from the law of Massachusetts as exist
ing when the constitution was adopted
and in the light of which it must be read
But the constitution contains nothing re
lating to school committees; the office il
created and regulated by statute; and tn,
constitution confers upon the Genera
Court full power and authority to mann
and settle annually, or provide by fixe,
laws for naming and settling all civil off
GERS within the commonwealth, the elec
ton and constitution of whom are not il
the constitution otherwise provided for.
The common law of England whicl
was our law upon the subject, permitted
woman to fill any local Office of an admin
trative character the duties attached t
which We're such that Il woman was com
petent to perform them. The duties of
school committee relate exclusively to tn
education of children and youth in tn
town or city for which it is elected; the

THE LITERAL Boy IN THE BLUE-CoAT
SCHooI..-Among the scholars when Lamb
and Coleridge attended was poor clergy
mans son bv the name of Simon Jennings
On account of his dismal and gloomy
nature his playmates had nicknamed HIM
Pontius Plate One morning, he went up
to the master. DIR. Boyer, and said, in his
usual whimpering manner. Z" Please, DR.
Bower. the bows call me Pontius PLATE"
IF there was one thing which old Boyer
hated more than a false quantity in Greek
and Latin, it WAS the practice of nicknam-
inc. Rushing down among the scholars
from his pedestal of state, with cane In
hand, he cried, with his usual voice OF
thunder: " Listen, boys; the next time |
hear any of you say Pontius PLATE I'll
cane you as long as this cane Will last
You are to say Simon Jennings and not
Pontius Plate Remember that. If you
value YOUR hides" Having said this,
Jupiter Tonans remounted Olympus, the
clouds still hanging on his brow. Next
day. when the same class were reciting
the Catechism, a boy of remarkably dull
and literal turn of mind had t, repeat the
creed. He had got as far rs " suffered
under" and was about popping out the
next word, when Boyer's prohibition un-
luckily flashed upon his obtuse mind.
After a moments hesitation, he blurted
out, Suffered under Simon Jennings,
cruel The rest of the word was never
uttered, for Boyer had already sprung
like tiger upon him, and the cane was
descending upon his unfortunate shoulders
like a Norwegian hail-storm or an Alpine
avalanche When the irate doctor had
discharged his cane-storm upon him, he
cried, .'What do you mean, you BOBBY,
by such blasphemy?" Il only did as
YOU told me-" replied the supplemented
IChrist-churchian. Did as / told you? !"
roared old Boyer, now wound up to some
thing above the boiling point. What do
YOU mean?" As he said this. he again in
stinctively grasped his cane more furiously.
" Yes doctor, you said we were always to
call Pontius plate Simon Jennings
} Didn't he. Sam." appealed the unfortunate
culprit to Coleridge. who was next to him.
Sam said naught; but old Boyer. who saw
what Ounce he had to deal with. cried.
; d" Bow, YOU are fool. Where are your
: brains?" Poor DIR. Boyer for a second
5 time was hoored; for the scholar said
with an earnestness which proved its truth,
? .but to the intense horror of the learned
J potentate, In my stomach. SIR" The
doctor always respected that boys stupid
r ity ever after, as though half afraid that a
STRAY blow might be unpleasant.

The importance of" minding your stops"
is illustrated in the little transaction which
results in the Government refunding 81
OOO, 900 collected in duties on fruits. The
law was supposed to be that {" fruit-plants,
tropical and otherwise,'' shall be exempt
from duty, but investigation proves that
it stands on the official enrolled copy at
the State Department, fruits, plants,
tropical and otherwise" etc. "S'' and
comma where hyphen ought TO be has
cost the Government $4,000, ,00O.-a pretty
severe penalty for not efficiently minding
the stops.

CHARLES KINGSLEY AND Mr.. BEECHER.
Canon Kingsley went over to hear
Beecher, Sunday morning, and sat few
seats from the platform and quite in front
of the preacher, and during the sermon
was noticed to be wholly unable to restrain
the tears which followed each other quick
lv down his face At the close of the ser
mon he came forward to speak with Mr..
Beecher. with whom he appeared to be
acquainted, but we noticed, when he took
his hand, he could not control his feelings
sufficiently to utter a word; but letting go
of Mr.. Beecher's hand, he turned from
him to tarry at one of the two baskets OF
flowers which adorned the platform, until
he could get control of himself He said
to Rev. Mr. Halliday, Mr.. Beecher's as
sistant: with all have heard and read
of Mr.. Beecher, did not read of anything
like this; | never listened to such elo-
quence, | never heard such Christian
sermon! 1t is so far beyond our best Eng
lish preachers-he takes so vast range.

Abraham Linc0ln's Dream, as Told by
Dickens.

dined with Charles Sumner. last Sun
day. against my rule; and, as had stipu-
lated for no party, Mr. Secretary Stanton
was the only other guest besides his own
secretary. Stanton is man with a very
remarkable memory. and extraordinarily
familiar with my books. He and Summer
having been the first two public men at
the dying presidents bedside. and having
remained with him until he breathed his
last. we fell into very interesting conver-
sation after dinner, when, each of them
giving his own narrative separately. the
usual discrepancies about details of time
were observable. Then Mr.. Stanton told
me curious little story, which will form
the remainder of this short letter. On the
afternoon of the day on which the presi-
dent was shot, there was a cabinet council,
at which he presided. Mr.. Stanton, being
at the time commander-in-chief of the
northern troops that were concentrated
about here. arrived rather late, indeed, they
were waiting for him. and. on his entering
the room, the president broke off in some
thing he was saying, and remarked: - Let
us proceed to business, gentlemen" Mr..
Stanton then noticed, with great surprise.
that the president sat with an air of dignity
in his chair, instead of rolling about in the
custom WAS, and that instead of telling IL
relevant or questionable stories he was
grave and calm, and quite different man.
Mr.. Stanton, on leaving the council with
the Encouragement, said to him: That
is the most satisfactory cabinet meeting |

the attorneys general had observed, - Some

president; but l have had dream, and
have now had the same dream three
times-once on the night preceding the
battle of Bull Run; once on the night pre-
ceding such another (naming battle also
not favorable to the North). His chin
sunk on his breast again, and he sat re-
tiecting. Might one ask the nature of
this dream, sir?" said the encouragement.

evening he was entertained by Secretary

has mouse-colored horse and IL yellow
sleigh, he can only skirmish on the out
skirts of good society. In Boston man
cannot drive in good society with a mouse

THE RIGHT MUST WIN.


oh it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battlefield of earth,
And not sometimes lose hearth
He hides himself so wondrously,
AS though there were no God;
He leas' seen when all the powers
Of i'll are most abroad.
Or he deserts us at the hour
The fight is all but lost;
And seems to leave us to ourselves
just when we need him most.
Yes there is less to try our faith,
In our mysterious creed.
Than in the goddess look of earth
In these our hours of need.
Ill masters good, good seems to change
To Ill with greatest ease;
And worst of all, the good with good
Is at cross purposes.
The Church, the sacramen's, the Faith,
Their uphill journey take
Lose here what there they gain, and, if
We lean upon tnem, break
1t is not so, but so it looks;
And we lose courage then;
And doubts will come if God hath kept
His promises to me-.
Ali God is other than we think:
His ways are far above,
Far beyond reasons height, and reached
Only by child like love.
The look, the fashion, of Coils ways
Loves lifelong study are;
She can be bold AMI guess, and act
When reason would not dare.
She has a prudence of her own;
Her step is firm and free;
Yet there is cautious science too
In her simplicity.
Workman of God oh lose not heart,
But learn what God Is like,
And in the darkest battle field
Thou shalt know where to strike.
Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, when lie
L most invisible.
Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to mans blIndtold eye.
Then scorn the praise ofme
And learn to love with Cod
For Jesus won the world through shame
And beckons thee His road.
Gods glory is wonderous thing.
Most strange in all it's ways,
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise.
AS lie can endless glory weave
From what men reckon shame,
In His own world lie is content
To play a losing game.
Muse on His justice, downcast soul;
Muse, and take better heart;
Back with thine angel to the field,
And bravely do thy part.
Gods justice is a bed where we
Our anxious hearts may lay,
And, weary with ourselves, may sleep
Our discomfort away.
For right is right since God is God;
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To ialter would be sin.

BISMARCK AND THE HEBREW SABBATH.
The great German statesman proves to be
as willy a theologian as he is diplomatist,
and has astonished the Jews by his Ialmu-
dical knowledge. The recent elections In
the Empire having been ordered for Satur-
dav. the Jews felt that practically their
franchise was cut off, rs they could not
conscientiously take part in secular busi-
ness on their Sabbath. Accordingly a
Rabbi, Bamberger by name, telegraphed
to the Prince, asking what was to be done
in the emergency. An immediate reply
was received, rs follows: :" Tickets may
be inscribed on Friday; besides, while the
Sabbath ends at four o'clock and fifty min
utes, the election does not close until SIX
O'Clock. so that there remain an hour and
ten minutes in which to vote" The mat
ter was thus effectually put right, and 1t Is
to be presumed that many of the consclen-
tious Hebrews made the act of voting the
first secular duty to be performed when
the sacred hours of the Sabbath had explr'
ed. Prince Bismarck would undoubtedly
make good Rabbi, and possibly as gooc
a Cardinal rs any who wear the coveted
| hat and stand in tie scarlet stockings.
