THIS MUsr BE "SARKAsN."-People In
and about Washington familiar with the
facts in the case will read with a smile the
following sober statement, clipped from the
editorial columns Of the Chicago Tribune OF
the 10Th inst:
1.-THE advantage to the government of hay-
ing secured Mr.. Elmer Washburn as CT ief of
the secret service is again aptly illustrated
by the discovery of the thief who stole the
so 600 from the United States Treasury the
loss OF which has so seriously disturbed Gen.
Spinner IN his retirement. The complete
ness OF the expose and the apprehension of all
the parties implicated show Mr.. Washburn's
handiwork. The JOB has been carefully
quietly and unostentatiously worked up; the
public had almost forgotten about the rob
berry, so little was said about IL. Mr.. Wash
burn showed no anxiety for notoriety; but
when the announcement or arrest was finally
made he had the thief and all his confeder-
ates-a Treasury clerk, a saloon keeper and
a gambler He had quietly tracked the con-
federates from city TO city, and decoyed them
into trap for capturing the entire party.
70 was handsome piece Of work, and il fur
nishes a notable contrast 10 the manner in
which offenders against national laws were
treated under former regimes"

and actor, Dion Boucicau1t, for libel con-
tanned in letter written by the former to
the New York Herald, to the effect that Nc
Wade was dramatic pirate" 1t is said
this action grows out OF the litigation in re-
gard TO the Play Of the "Shaugraun," Bouci-
cault's latest dramatic production. 1t is
probable that McWade's assumption OF the
character Of rip Van Winkle'' in his own

so far as the incidents OF the play are con-
cerned. Nevertheless IL is somewhat anus
ing 10 hear Boucicault denounce any one as
dramatic pirate, when dramatic authors
generally agree that that epithet truthfully
applies to him. Still ii must be admitted
that Dion exercises taste and judgment in
his appropriations, as bis three or four hun
dred plays, many OF them "hits," attest.

Bananas, the Lazy Mans Crop.

1t is the ease with which bananas are
grown that is the great obstacle to civ.
ilizatiOn in some tropical countries. II

that no effort will evcrbe made. and the
men become lazy and intolerably shift
less. All that is needed is to stick Il
cutting into the ground. 1t will ripen
its fruit in II to Is months, without
further care, each plant having 75 to
125 bananas, and when that dies down
after fruiting, new shoots spring up to
take its place. In regions where no
frost ever reaches, bananas are found
in all stages of growth, ripening their
fruit every month and every day in the
year. Col. Whitner, near Silver Lake,
Florida, has probably the largest ban
ana plantation in the United States,
containing fully 10000 plants in bear
ing. Some of these are large trees,
which do not die after bearing their
fruit, but the majority are of the dwarf
species, which are renewed every year.
Slips are planted about eight feet apart
and rapidly push up leaves, disclosing
six or eight small bananas behind this
protection. Some plants will have I6
or 20 leaves and lunches of fruit, bend

turiSt states that the aforementioned
plantation is Il failure, not from any

called on Perry to help in making the

just rs he had got a good hold the beast

Woman in Shakespeare.

Shakespeare has reached the heart OF
womanhood, which in all eras and re-
@ions is so essentially the same. If in
nothing else he would in this alone Sc
cure an immortal sympathy. Shake
speare's women are in the highest degree
poetical. yet in the deepest sense true.
The fidelity to the innermost feelings of
woman is one of the wonders of his
genius to women themselves. Mrs.
Siddons marveled at it. Feminine Sc
crecies, which she thought no mascu-
line imagination could divine, she found
that Shakespeare had discovered; and
this not alone in the maternal anguish
of Constance, or the queenly grief of
Katherine, but even in the stony dun
geon of Lady Macbeth's bosom.

ed illusions-mixture Of sunshine and

An Exciting Panther Hunt in Vermont,

Wardsboro, and Mr.. S. Perry, were 90
ing to their work, blasting lime rock
from ledge situated in the edge of
StrattOn, they noticed the tracks of a
wild animal. SuppOsing they belonged
to bear, they concluded to follow
them for a short distance to satisfy
their curiosity. These soon led into Il
piece of woods, about mile southwest
Of the villagcof West Wardsboro. Here
Mr.. Fits and his companion abandoned
the search, intending to secure help and
follow it up the next morning. Satur-
day morning the hunters, about sixteen
in all, armed with rifles, shotgunS and
revolvers, and accompanied by several
dogs. started for the animal. They first
passed around the woods to make sure
that the supposed bear had not left his
lair. and then the whole place was sur
rounded by Il chain Of armed men to
prevent his escape if he should make a
break for the mountains. Twelve of the
hunters were thus arranged, while
Messrs. Fits, Perry and II. 4. johnson.

the woods to stir up the beast. The
dogs were kept back by ropes until the
proper time and place should be reach

Hunting Wild Hogs In California.

There is Il district of country living
west of Bakersfield, and about twenty
five miles distant, which is the source
OF much exciting sport. 1t is low tule
land stretching across the country =
distance Of fifty miles, and averaging
from four to seven miles i'm width. As
far back as fifteen years ago the hogs Of
settlers began to stray away into these
tules and grow wild. This has been
going on ever since, and they have bred
until they are now found to be very
numerous, and in perfectly wild state.
They are Of all ages, from sucking pigs
to venerable old patriarchs If perhaps
Il dozen years, and weighing from few
pounds to 600 and 700 weight. OF late
years people began to hunt them, and

wagons, on which are covered pens,
and stay two or three days. They car
ry their guns and six-shoOters, and some
use lassoes. The hunting is done with
dogs. Having struck a trail, the dogs
follow ii up until they bring the game
to bay. when the old males frequently
assume the offensive, and fight with
desperate and sometimes with terrific
effect. The huntsmen are always ON
horseback and, the game being flushed,
generally use their revolvers to bring it
down. Some they capture with dogs
and bring away alive, and sometimes
they are lasSOed and thus secured.
With the large hogs which the dogs
cannot manage, harsher means are
used, and they are shot down with six
shooters. Some parties have, in this
way, sometimes secured as HIGH as
twenty-five hogs in one day. and dozen

The business is found to be quite
profitable. The hogs are usually found

hog is found the flesh of which tastes a
little fishy. They subsist almost entire
