A THRILLING STORY.
Pursuit and Capture Of a Panther in
the Cedar Brakes Of Wilson.
The FurOre in the NeighbOThOOd Over
Romantic Adventure,

To the Union and American
SILVER SPRINGS, WILSON COUNTY,
Tenn May Is, 1ST5.-Our qu.et COM
munity has been thrown i'm considerable
excitement over the discovery Of an animal,
closely resembling the panther, which has
made this neighbOrhOOd the scene Of his
depredatiOns until its very name has be-
come the terror to all who have TO traverse
the lonely forest after da-k. Several Of the
neighbOrs having missed a number Of sheep
were at a loss To solve the mystery rs 10
their disappearance, when Mr.. John NeyeT-
cit, while out on a fox hunt, came upon
this animal and Immediately gave chase.
His dogs becoming well heated brought the
animal to bay and a furious combat was
the result. Eight hounds were not enough
to tackle the brute, and every time he
opened those mOnstrOus jaws il was terri
bic for the poor CANNES. He killed two Of
Nj. Veverelt best hounds and crippled one.
Thinking the odds were against him
Veverett called of his dogs.
The next evening party was made up
to sCOur the woods, consisting OF eight
men, and three full packs. They were all
to meet at a given point on the river. They
had scarcely got divided before the leading
pack struck trail, and the excitement ran
high. They pursued him several miles,
when he made a circuit, and by stratagem,
eluded the dogs until near daylight, when
the trail was again found. They holly
gained on him until the peculiar, far of
howl told the hunters they had bayed him
in a cave in TaylOr's Bluff, situated close 90
the rivers edge, five miles northwest Of
Silver Springs. This bluff can be seen az
a great distance from TaSsing steamboats,,
and is much admired for its surprising
beauty, and its wild and picturesque aspect,
located, as it, where one seldom ever peue-
trates its solitude lit place for the prOwl-
ing monarch of the forest 10 make bis
abode.
After taking in the situation the ques-
ton was who was bold enough 10 venture
into the den. At this iuncture Mr. Ander-
son consented to be tine leader, and all az
ranged their arms for aUy emergency. They
filed in and had got some thirty yards from
the mouth, when low sUllen grOwl greeted
the terrOr-stricken party making their anat-
Omies SILVER with fear. Two balls Of fire
looked defiance at them and quicker than
can be told, six shOt-guns, loaded with
buck-shOt, were emptied in the direction Of
them.
When brought to the light the animal
measured from the nose to the tip Of its
tail eight feet and one inch. l. was of
dark gray color, with several sears ON its
shoulders. Altogether DC was q wonderful
curiosity. The skin can be seen 1t any
time al Mt. Juliet. M. Crudups being

HOW JErrIEs ARE MADE.
New orleans Times

The work Of constructing Jettles Is
much simpler than most people sup
pose. The general idea was that 1t
would take a very long time to improve
the mouth Of the Mississippi by this
means. but the contractors are conf
dent that it viii require bat few
months to demonstrate the practical
biIitv Of the work. and to obtain de-
cided results in the way Of deeper
channel. Parts Of the work, such as
terminal piers, etc, may require some
time for completion, but it is an en-
cOuraging feature Of the plan that the
main object, a reliable outlet, VIII be
achieved, If at all, IN a much shorter
time than by any ether system. That
being secured, so that vessels can pass
IN and out. the finishing touches may
be mt on at leisure and without OBJ
structing commerce.
The manner Of constructing Jettles
IS among the simplest Of all engineer
=ug works. The materials and plan at
5he South Pass viii be very nearly the
same As those used IN the river Mas,
IN Holland. The materials viii be
willows and stone, with scarcely any
thing else. The willows are bound IN
long bundles, nine to twelve inches IN
diameter. and those are called tascIncs.
Other material than willows could be
used. proved the branches are long,
slender and tough, with few leaves and
no lateral branches They must pack
close together and yet not be llgId.
OF these fascines, large RATS or mat
Eresaes are constructed at the place
where the twigs are cut, and Heated
down to the mouth. After beng
flowed to the spot where they are to be
used. they are loaded with broken
STONE and sunk. The lDwer raft or
mattress must Of course be tie widest,
Zach succeeding layer narrowing to-
ward the top. The work viii thus be
rsomDosed Of alternate strata Of taClnes
and stone. The sides Of the work thus
formed would be a series Of steps, but
these viii be cJgsIed md the incline
made uniform by broken stone or rip
ran dumped in. To be short, iet.ies
are nothing more nor less than ievses
raised to confine the channel: the only
difference Is that beng UGdgr water
they must be of such materials as will
withstand tue wash OF the water. The
work VIII nearly all be III very shallow
water. and ont Of the channel. and the
sinking Of a mattress Of fascines in
such a place Is a very simple affair.

The adoption of the anti-third term resO-

was received by the Administration clique
here with some surprise. 1t was a blow
from the shoulder. They rallied, eventual
~. however, to respond that the convention
had resolved, in the clearest possible terms,
that Grant is the best and most available
man for the place after all. One OrstwO
more decisive declarations Of this sort, from
State Conventions, win 60 far towards con
vincing Southern Republicans that the
North will not support them, and then the
third term will indeed become a spOOk OF

GRANTS friends claim that his
lengthy speech to the Sioux, Wednes-
day, settles the third term question,
their argument being that his indirect
auusion TO his successor indicates
that he does not expect to be his own
successor. The language Of the Pres
ident was: i want to see the
provisions made in such a way that
they will have to be res ected by
my successor and other Administrations
in the future" A King for life by
divine right, could say the same. In
stead Of proving that Grant does not
wish to be President for life, these
words indicate merely that he does not
expect to live forever The utterance
made at Lancaster, Pa, on the same
day. Is much more decisive.
