Novel Way of Catching a Grizzly:

On last Monday afternoon about
four O'Clock, as Joseph and New
ton Brown were hunting cattle on
the Mojsve, below H0ltOn's ranch,
the latter came suddenly on a
large grizzly, travelling leiSurely
down the river bed He turned
his horse aud rode short distance
from his bear5hip and called To
Joe, who Immediately rode up
and, ascertaining the difficulty,
started in pursuit Of bruin with
his lassO. The ground being
sparsely covered with vegetation
gave him an opportunity to follow
his game, and d few turns Of the
lasso and a skiilful throw of the
same brought the bear to sud-
den Standstill. The bear then
started to run and Joe followed
him until coming to tree he
turned his horse on one side while
the bear run on the other. giving
purchase by which to hold him
fast. Newton now came up and
the two taking turn around the
tree started their horses to pulling
and in short time the bear was
"black in the face" First making
sure that there was no danger, Joe
dismOunted, cut bruins throat,
and taking one of his paws as a
mementO, rode to HoltOn's to tell
his adventure. Mr.. HOltOn sent
out a team and took the dead bear
to his ranch, while Joe retired up
on his laurels with huge paw,
which can be seen by the curious

A Practical Witness in Court.

In COX's court there Was charge
of assault against that offender and
police favOrite, John Doe" and
Nj Dickson, the attorney, was
examining a witness:
Dickson-HOW hard did he
shake the man when he grabbed
him?
Witness-I don't know. Pretty
hard.
What do you call
"pretty hard -
Witness-Well it Was pretty
hard-that's all | can say.
Dickson-COme. now. you sure
ly have sense enough to let the
Court know what you call pretty
hard"
Witness-I guess I can show the
Court. 1t WAS like this:
Here the witness rose from his
seat, and, springing upon the as
tOnished attorney, grabbed him
by the collar, and, with a strong,
impulsive jerk landed him on the
floor Then he gathered him up
and topped him across a chair;
then he began to bang him over
the floor, jam him up against the
wall, and slamhim over the bench
eS.
"Hold on-Iunderstand?" shOu-
ted the lawyer.
"This is how he fetched him."
retorted the witness, giving him
another lift.
won't the Court rule out his
answer? 1 object" said Mr.. Dick
son, catching his breath.
"If you with draw the question,
all right" said the Judge; aud,
springing down from his seat, he
colIared the witness and took him
OFF. When he again mounted the
bench, he remarked: +: "The wit
ness appears to have introduced
his testimony, but [ can rule that
the jury ignore his answer
BY tn is time the specta tors were
in a convulsiOn of laughter, and
the attorney retired to brush his
clothes The case was dismissed.

CONTENTS OF A LADY's POCK-
EFT They came walking down
the centre passage of the main
building at the Centennial to-day
two beautiful young ladies. ov-
er whose beads probably nineteen
or twenty summers had passed
They chatted pleasantly as they
passed along, aud turned into one
Of the less frequented passages
and sat down on a bench to rest,
when one remarked to the other,
"Minne, where is-stOpping"
She said she had forgotten, but
would look, as she had the ad-
dress on slip of paper in pocket.
When the search commenced for
that slip of paper, as it was some
wher in the big pocket attached
TO her dress, out came a small lace
handkerchief. then a large linen
one. broken bracelet, a spool of
thread, pocket book, two false
teeth (her mothers, probably,
which she was taking to the den
tist's to get fiXed). a piece of white
flannel, small box of face powder,
two crooked hair-pins which
looked as though they had done
service as buttOn-hoOks, a thiInble,
one garter about Is inches in
length, paper of pins, a fan
broken comb, ivory end of parasol,
knife, bottle Of smelling salts. two
pieces of ribbon. three No. 2 soil
ed gloves Ofdifferent cOlOrs, paper
of bonhons, ,cigars-holder, two but
tons, and at last the slip of paper
she had been looking for. We
didn't see anything more taken
out of that pocket, so can't say
whether it Was empty or not; but
we began to think it was a magi-

A chicago man was reading a
story to his wife the other night,
and came to piece of fine writ
ing,' in which the ear OF the heO
rine Was compared to. ''some
cream white, pink tinted she'll of
ocean," "By the way" said the
husband, cutting short his read
ing, 'that description of the ear
reminds me of your ear; you have
an ear like a she'll" 1t Was the
frs compliment she had received
from him since the early days of
their marriage. and a blush of
pride suffused her face as she ask
ed, "What kind of a shell, darl-
ing?" IAN abalone SHE'LL" he re-
piled. She had never before
heard of or seen an abalOne shell,
but she did not want TO display
her ignorance, 80 she made up
her mind to hunt it up in the
Condensed Conchology' that Or
namented the centre table Next
morning, the first thing she did,
after her husband had left the
house, was to hunt up the dis
cription of an abalOne shell. She
found it. 1t was described as a
shell about the size of wagon
wheel. She nursed her wrath
during the day, and when her
husband came home that night
she met him at the door with q
towel roller, and now his ear is as
big as an abalone shell, but it looks
like piece of psunded beef

REMEDY FOR Poison, If a per-
son swallows any poison whatever,
or has fallen into commissions from
having overloaded the stomach,
an instantaneous and very effici-
ent remedy is heaping teaspoon
full of common salt, and as much
ground mustard, stirred rapidly
in a tea-cup of water, warm or
cold, and swallowed instantly. 1t

spOonfuls-be swallowed imme-
diately after vomiting; because

1t is gratifying TO learn that harmon
izing conferences are taking place in
many wards looking to the selection oi
good men for delegates to the Baton
Rouge Convention, the idea being to
have only one ticket in the field.
A man on one of the pleasure boats Mt
the lake yesterday was asked where
sail boats carried their milk. He re
piled in their tr) udder.
1t was delightfully."- hot Yesterday
The temperature rose to "a degrees.
The Pontchartrain Railroad trains
should have some means of communica
ton between its conductors and engi-
neers. Had Mr. Morse been simply
wounded, he might have bed to death
before assistance could have reached
him, owing to the absence of u conduct
or's string on the train.
IT is said that Warmoth does not in
tend to run for Congress-. but will put
up somebody in his place. Warmoth
will probably remove to Plaquemines
or st. Bernard, and get nomination
for the Lower House.
The Pontchartrais Railroad Company
ran their trains yesterday to the end OF
the Milneburg wharf. to the great de-
light aud comfort of the passengers.

pated, and the time and place was fixed
at thoir suggestion to- suit the eonve-
nience Of their constituents. There was
no question OF German or any other

was merely u preference for persons.

Political Assassination.
[Raton Rouge Advocated

On the Sd inst, dastardly attempt
was made to assassinate the editor OF
the Morehouse Clarion by leading Radi-
cal politicians, because be had the man
hood TO use his best efforts to protect
Democratic colored men from insults
and bodily violence by these Radical
political leaders. Mr.. Norwood was
shot twice by one Of them but fortu-
nately escaped death. His wounds are
painful but not dangerous. The short
haired Radical desperate who did it,
though fast runner, was overtaken by
six or eight we'll directed bullets. This
should be warning to Radicals that
they cannot ride rough shod over colored
men simply because they desire to be
Democrats. Some Of this sort of busi-
ness has been threatened here but our
sincere advice to Radical is to keep
hands of.
