RHEUMATISM is more common and
distressing, especially in this country,
than almost any other disease; and, at
the same time, it may be asserted that
it is as little understood and as unsuc-
cessfully treated. Physicians, in many
cases, are unable to cure it, even in their
own person; yet such are the unparal-

Hunting the RhinOccras.

Louisville Home and SCHOOL,
The native method of hunting these
animals is something as follows: Armed
with javelins, bows, and arrows, the hun
tiers seek the animal and force him from
cover, the better to cope with their
formidable game. The hunters, all on
the feetest horses and with as little cloth
ing as actually necessary, having started
their prey, keep it moving until an OPP
portunity offers TOR one who is armed with
keen-edged sword TO slip from the sad
die to the ground in the track of the COM
ing beast, when, as the monster passes, a
well.directed and powerful blow of the
sword sewers the tendons of the hind legs,
and the "ham. strung" animal falls and
is now easily dispatched by the arrows OF
javelins of his captors. Sometimes the
opportunity to thus wound the animal is
forced upon it by the maneuvers of the
riders, at Others by the animal itseli
changing its tactics, and assuming the
role of pursuer. The chase is wild and
exciting in the extreme, and the haz
ardous nature of the spart places it on q
par with the old time boar-hunting Of
middle Europe. The exploit considered
excellent above all others for daring
skill, and agility is accomplished where
only two men and single horse partakt
in the chase. One of these men, entirely
naked, rides behind, carrying nothing
but the sword, and when the rhinocera
gives chase watches his opportunity ant
slips from the horse into the grass, falling
nearly fiat, the body of the horse screen
ing him from the Infatuated beast which
only an instant afterward comes rushing
forward in the trail of the horse, and i
felled at a blow. The direct line move
ments of these monsters alone permit TIT
success Of this peculiar strategy, and ri
instant of lost time or an unskillful blow
largely increases the danger of the sport
for to be confronted by one of thes
huge, angry animals with no tree at han'
to climb is nearly equivalent to physica
humiliation.

and Downs substituted. The blanks for
returns sent by the Secretary of State to the
town officers of election, contained Miners
name instead of Downs. Upon learning
this the Chairman of the Republican State

erase Miners name aud insert Downs. In

done, and the votes are returned as If they

Gen. Merritt has succeeded in head
ing off party OF 800 Cheyennes who had lett
joining the hostile forces OF Sitting Bull. In
formation having been received OF the pro-
iected movement, Gen. Merritt, after a march
of nearly a hundred miles in thirty-sx hours,
was successful in intercerting the Cheyennes
and in driving them back to the agency. The
Indians were warned of the approach of the
troops, and managed to sneak off in small
parties without receiving the chastisement
hey deserved, the faded condition Of Gen.
Merritt's command preventing a successful
pursuit. II rs believed that the Cheyennes
have been thoroughly frightened by this
demonstration, and that they will conclude
to stay at their agency.
