SMART BEAR HUNTERS.
One takes the Dog for the Bear, and the Other
Takes the Bear for the Dog.
FLORIDA letter.I

Florida letter.
"Two young fellows" said Powell,
"English tourists, were out here few
years ago, and wanted to hunt bear. The
Florida bear is very little fellow, not
as large as the black bear or cinnamon
bear, by any means. However they
wanted to hunt him and shoot alligators,
which is to the Egyption crocodile about
like cat to a tiger. However, they got
very glorious over killing one or two of
them and wanted a bear and we went
with them. The amount Of lies pumped
into these Englishmen about Seminoles,
pirates, ETC., would set up the New York
Ledger.
"The bear is easy to find. He always
goes one route; if he puts his foot on a
log crossing to day, he will cross the
same place tomorrow, and put his foot
on the same place. We found bee
gum where he had been, and put one
Britisher there, another in the hamak
above, and Joe and and the dog wen +
tolook up the bear. We got OH his trail
pretty soon, and then we lost him; lost
the dog too, a half terrier and cur, black,
Ecurly and red-nosed, about as big as a
halt-grown sheep. Joe and L came down
to the hamak and met the Englisher. He
He had been keeping out the damp air.
We asked ii he had seen the bearl
"'AveRt been by this; gone cross

"'YoWve seen the dog then,' said Joe,
''the bear can't be far off' Just then
we heard the other Britsher's gun, and
dozen or so yells. We,ran down, he
was dancing, snapping his fingers. Il

stopped by monkey while IN rapid mo-

ing along at the rate of twenty five miles
an hour, when suddenly "down breaks"
was sounded, the engine bell ringing
vigorously at the same time, and the
locomotive came TO stop as the brake
men sprang to their posts. The conduc-
tor was rather mystified, and at once
proceeded to investigate the matter. 1t
was discoveredth that monkey, Which was
confined in the baggage car, had broken
loose and was amusing himself swinging
on the bell-rope, and the engineer was
thus signaled to stop.-Charleston

THE ELECTION "LEss oxs."

In looking over our exchanges, it
strikes US as absolutely marvellous how
many sslessons" we find recorded as
being derivable from the Ohio election.
And, to mingle matters more strangely,
we ind that the lessons inculcated by
that event are no. two Of them alike.
Mr.. Pendleton says the lesson is most
encouraging one for "greenback Demo-
crats," and exhorts all to take heart OF
hope from the teachings that 1t incul-
Gates. MIR. Hendricks finds lesson In
the Ohio election also; but it seems to
preach to him. different doctrine from
that accepted by Mr.. Pendleton: for, on
being asked what he thought would be
the effect of the Ohio election, he is re-
ported as replying-"Efect! Why, IL
wipes out the d. crowd of shinplaster
Ohio Democracy as completely as II they
lived in the swamps of Canaan, ON pau
terms with Noah, at the Time of the Dig
shower"
Independent of the slight geographical
mistake made by the distinguished Inoi-
ana Governor abou. Commodore Noans
port of departure, it is manifest tnaG
these disciples of common talth 90 not
Interpret the lesson in the same way.
And again, the Republican expounder
of this sslesson for the day" assures MS
followers that the currency question Is
finally. and forever settled by the ONO
election. MIR. Senator Sherman, with
the wisdom peculiar to "Sir Oracle :,
thinks the lesson is in support a,.d con.
firmation of his pet scheme, ,f specie re.
sumption at a given hor',r on a given day
in given year.
Governor F1.en holds that the lesson
taught that election is, how corrupt
the people are, by being bought with he
publican money to vote against the
Democratic ticket. And Gov. hayes
holds that majority Of only 5,549, out o.
near 100000 votes, is q lesson in hign
ethics on the uncertainty of human al
fairs.
Pennsylvanians think the lesson
teaches the doctrine of imitation. New
Workers. think the same lesson teaches
the doctrine of contraction. And thus
the "Ohio lesson" is everywhere quoted
as exceedingly Instructive, and yet ev
cry man gets different view Of the doc
trine it teaches.
To cool-minded men, not warped iron
their moorings by the prejudice OF party
it seems to occur that "a lesson capable
of such universal and diverse appllea
bility would scarcely be accepted al
teaching anything in particular; that
text, capable of such latitudinarian III
terpretation as to everything, could be
definitive of nothing. And such Il
seems to our comprehension. 1t is like
gambling bet, that may be fairly won
and yet proves nothing.

THE disastrous fire that devasted Vir-
ginia City,. and rendered thousands of
people homeless, was destructive of prop
srty to the extent of over sepep millions
Of dollars, as reported by telegraphic
dis patches.
But we presume that this estimate,
made in the moment Of the first excite
ment, will be found to be in excess OF
the actual loss. The latest reports say
that miners have been through all the
mines, and have found no damage to
any, except to the 0phir mine, and that
not seriously injured. Neighboring
cities are sending in provisions by the
car load, and money is being supple d
to prevent real suffering.
The mines, however, are found to be
filed with gases, which the miners are
striving to expel by raising water from
the bottom and dashing it back again
II Il said that no ore will be raised for
some months,probably not before spring
This will leave $500 persons out Of EN-
pioyment during the winter. Ii Is to p'
hoped, however, that the delay In recon
mepcing the work Of mining may not D.
SO long postponed, as the only damag
done TO the mines is superficial. Tn

A very interesting fact in connection
with the loss and destruction Of frac-
tional currency is ascertained from the
Treasury Department. 1t Is very we'll
known that the Government is yearly
the gamer by large amount by the dis-
appearance OF small notes and currency.
But the figures regarding the three and
tiye.cept issues Of fractional currency,
when it is remembered how many oil
them are required to make a dollar, are
particularly interesting. The issue OF
these notes ceased in April, 1859. at
which time there had been issued S602,
900 OF the denomination of three cents
and $5,70O,00O of the tve-eent series.
Although over six years have elapsed,
there are still outstanding $92 900 in
three-cent notes and over $3.50. 700 of the
tye-cent issue.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

The dispatches of this morning, in re-
lation to Cuban affairs, ARE of unusual ill.,
terest, and 90 to confirm the views ex-
pressed in our columns a few days
since, concerning our relations with
Cuba.
The President has evidently made up
his mind to a decided stand upon the
question; and his views will no doubt
be submitted in full to Congress, by his
annual message, month hence. Wheth-
er the immediate recognition of the inde-
pendence OF Cuba, or the recognition OF
belligerent rights merely to the Cubans,
will be the course decided upon, remains
as yet in allegiance. But the recognition
Of belligerent rights only would no doubt
eyentuate in the other, and Cuba be de-
clared sovereign State, independent oil
Spain.
This would be no unimportant event.
What would be the form Of government
adopted by the Commonwealth Of Cuba
Is doubtless we'll understood. 1t would
be, of course, Republican in form; and
we would hope that it would be Repub.
lican in. substance. The abolition OF
slavery would certainly ensue. OuI
Government, after what we have gone
through, would not be quite
willing to recognize a neigh.
