A BEAUTIFUL HUNTREss.

Miss Clara Hale, of Harrisburg, Pa. j.,
has been on cunning expedition down
the peninsula, and met with consider
able success. Early on Tuesday morn
ing of last week she went out, and In a
short time succeeded in bagging sixteen
patridges and three quirrels. The
night of the same day she shot eight
muskrats, two os which, however, she
failed to get. On Wednesday afternoon
she gave a few invited friends an ex-
hibition of her skill in handling the
revolver. An o1d-fashioned copper cent
was fastened to fence post, and she
hit it eight times out of ten. Several
pigeons were let out of q trap, every
one of which she brought down. Miss
Hale is beautiful brunette, about IT
years old, and her form is perfect. She
is intelligent, fluent speaker, and de-
lights in recounting her hunting ad-
ventures in the mountain ousregions of
Pennsylvania. Her uniform consists o
a tight-ftting light corduroy jacket,
a short skirt of the Same material, with
the inevitable hustle, which she utilizes
for the purpose of carrying her ammu-
milton, etc., several pockets being neatly
arranged in it. Her cap is also of light
corduroy, with an oiI-cloth reversible
cover. and her feet and ankles are
tightly encased in pair of india rubber
boots. She carries one of Remington's s
handsome fowling- pieces, and seems
greatly attached to her two canine COM
panions, who answer to the names of
Eloise and Skippo. The Seaford Citi-
zen says she is now visiting few friends
in Sussex county, and will soon return
home

SPANS NEW RULER.

Don Alfonso is youth of seventeen
wears, not strong either in body or
mind. He is universally regarded in
Spain as illegitimate. He has no claim
whatever upon the throne except that
he is the son of his mother, who.was. ass
bad q woman as queen. Her mother
was like herself, and her fathers II pos
sible, worse. For four generations the
line is utterly corrupt and worthless.
Since Charles Iii. no one can point to
a good reign, we may almost say to
good action, of Spanish sovereign of
course we except the unfortunate ex-
pertinent of Amadeus of Savoy, who
was gentleman at least. But Charles
Nv. and his son Ferdinand were not
gentlemen in any sense of the word.
They were cowardly, treacherous, un-
truthful, weak, and personally dishon-
est. Queen Christine and Queen Isabel
were got ladies'; it is not possible to
cali them so without casting derision
upon the name. They were unfaithfu1
rulers, unfaithful wives, not honest even
in money matters. Both the Kings and
both the Queens we have mentioned
broke their word SO frequently that no
one could trust them. Their public
character was as bad as their private.
We do not accuse them of being the
cause of all the misery of which Spain
has suffered for the last century. Even
the best of Kings, like Charles III. for
instance, could not make Spain happy.
But it is as clear as day that these
sovereigns, while doing no good have
done infinite harm to their unhappy
kingdom. Their incapacity as rulers
was as evident as their immortality as
individuals. Their acts were as noxious
as their example.-Nea0 York Tribune.

ANIMAL PETS.

It is, perhaps, too much to say that
go hand in hand !; yet it is suggestive g
fact which Mr.. Bergh records in his
paper, the animal Kingdom, that of
two Thousand convicts of whom inquiry
was made, only twelve admitted they
left pets at home and this is in accord
ance with the experience of all visitors
among the poor, who tell us that the pet
squirrel, the canary hung in sunshine,
the cat purring on the hearth, are sure
indications of quiet and content within.
Who has not often passed humble
dwelling and, catching sight of flower
pots in the window, has not felt that re-
fnement had it's abode there ? Leigh
Hunt pleads for geranium in the
window; we plead for other flowers as
well and for pets, too. Give your
children all the means you can for asso-
citation with life, vegetable and animal,
and you will hunanize them, while you
save them from the vicious thoughts of
idle hours, and give them a pleasure
which they will cultivate and perpetuate
through life. Cowper. who would "not
needlessly set foot upon a worm" ac-
quired his love for pets when child !;
and some of our greatest men-notably
Clay, Webster, Agassiz. and Marcy
were as fond of pets in later years as in
early manhood.

THE LADIES' cocKED TAT.

The following opinion of the Hart
style of ladies' hats is not compliment
tary, but, perhaps, just Believers in
the intellectual equality of the sexes are
puzzled to account for the sheep-like
manner, in which the entire female sex
will rush into dress absurdity at the
dictation of some dressmaker or mil
liner, who possibly draws her inspira-
tion fro n the Partisan demi-monde.
As an instance take the last agony in
hats. Some unknown woman satir1st
weakness of the sex by means of the
ordinary felt hat, cooked on one side.
A year ago the average fashionable
woman would as soon have worn cavalry
boots and spurs. But to-day you may
count them as they go by on the street
blue blooded or shoddy, strong minded
or weak, intellectual or frivolous-nine
out of every ten will have the same
style hat, cooked as to one side, and
we suppose they speak of them with the
same tender and gushing admiration as
of the Gloves of bonnets which few
years since ornamented the wonderful
superstructure which adorned the female
head. We admit that this is danger
GUS subject. We may be told that the
cooked hat is no more absurd thar most
of the other styles of head-gear which
have been invented, and that the Great
ures who consent to wear stove pipes
are not competent to judge what is
absurd in the other sex. And we must
admit that there is just the least shadow
of foundation for the retort. The silk
hat is not exactly an article of beauty,
and the felt hat is better than the aver
age, but let us suppose that some am
bilious halter should attempt to intro
duce tile with no brim on one side or
shaped like funnel, how many of
his fellow-citizens would adopt the abb
surdity?

CORPORAL JOIN SMITHS TACTICS.
Corporal john Smith with four men
was employed lately on detail duty
few miles from Font Sill, fndian Terri
tory. It should be m ntiol ed that the
party was accompanied by = small and
unprepossessing dog of the famous
mongrel variety. Corporal John Smith
and party, in the pursuit of short
journey across the prairie, we're SO un-
fortunate as to suddenly find them
selves most uncomfortably situated.
Their discontinue arose solely from the
fact that they were surprised and sur
rounded by about hundred hostile
Indians. The demeanor of the savages
indicated at once their bloodthirstiness
and the confidence that they were soon
to call the scalps of five United States
soldiers all fonGly their own. The red
skins underestimated the character of
Corporal John Smith. He directed his
men to avail themselves of the only
available retreat-an old buffalo wallow,
and there, most uncomfortablyc cramped,
they managed to keep the Indians at
bay for the day and night. Want of
food and water began then to tell on
the little band, and Corporal John
Smith played his last card. He tore off
comparatively unimportant piece of
his shirt and upon it penciled an earn
est appeal for assistance. This he tied
about the neck of the disreputable
mongrel then battering up canteen,
he attached it securely to the tail of the
animal, and with vigorous kick sent
the cur off yelping painfully. 1t is a
fact with which most people are familiar
that a dog With a tin can tied to his tail
makes good time, and the mongre1 was
no exception. The corporal, describing
the occurrence afterward, said the deg
"just bumped himself" The Indians.
thinking the whole scene merely an act
of useless bravado, paid no attention to
the dog, and within two hours he ar
rived at the fort with the canteen at one
end of him and the message at the
other. The message was read and Cor
poral John Smith and party speedily
relieved by company of soldiers, at
whose approach the Indians fed. Such
is the brief record of Western advent
ure, and if Corporal John Smith does
not receive promotion, then republics
are ungrateful and no mistake. With
West Point education the corporal
would be invincible.

The Hon. Alvah Crocker, Represen-
tative in Congress from the Tenth Dis
trict of Massachusetts,, died at his home
in Fitchburg few days ago. Mr..
Croker, was, we believe. the Oldest
member (in years. in the lower house
of Congress, being in his 18th year.
He was eminently self-made man, and
had acquired vast fortune. He be-
came factory operative at Syears of
age, but in the intervals of his work
managed to secure an academic educa-
tion, by means of which he obtained
employment in confidential relations
with the proprietors of paper mills, and
became himself an owner of mills. His
political life began in the lower house
of the Massachusetts Legislature in
1886, 1842, and 1S43. He was mem
ber of the State Senate two terms, was
elected to the Forty-second Congress
Jan. 2, 1872, to fill the vacancy occa.
stoned by the resignation of William B.
Washburn, and was reelected to the
Forty third Congress. He was not
candidate for reelection last fall, being
too infrm for further service, and Prof.
Seelye, of Amherst College, was elected
to succeed him.

YIsIToRs TO EDIrORIAL ROOMS.

- -1A(A =
This brings us to another point. and
one upon which we have often felt like
saying something. The Springfield in
terviewer, when he visited the Gazette
Office, thought he had reason to feel he
was not treated politely. He found
several persons in the Office, all at work,
who did not drop their pens and rise to
their feet when he approached. They
answered his questions in as few words
as possible, and without looking up,
perhaps. That was not polite, but it is
a species of impoliteness that has be-
come necessity in the editorial rooms
of newspapers and people who visit
such places on their own business must
calculate upon apparently cool recep-
tlons. Not all who visit editorial rooms
are intruders or bores. but great many
are, and these are so numerous that all
visitors are looked upon with some de-
gree of suspicion until their business
becomes known. It is never pleasant to
be interrupted in editorial work. It has
tendency to make men cross. There
is pressure upon editors. They work
nearly all the time under a pressure.
Often their ideas do not flow freely, and
when they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in mood to spend much
time upon those who interrupt them.
We suppose it is safe to say that
three-fourths of those who call to see
''the editor" have no business properly
with that individual. Often they do
not know him personally, and in order
to find him they interrupt half a dozen
or dozen men, who have important
work to do, and only limited time to
DO it in. Then, if they receive short
answers, they feel aggrieved and talk
about impolite treatment.
The editorial rooms of a newspaper
establishment are private, and are only
to be visited, except as matter of
favor, by those who have business that
concerns the editor. The best way, if
people have something to say to an ed
itor, is to write it down and send it to
him. This would save time on bot
sides, and answer better purpose, nine
times out of ten, than personal inter
view.-C Cincinnati Gazette.
