A RANDOM SHoT.-lt was not many
years ago, in 1913. There were not
many white men around Green Bay at
that time. Five was a crowd and doz-
en- a convention. There were several at
Kaukauio (now called Kaukauna) one
day that year. 4 bluebird was observed
in the dim distance to fly and alight.
Colonel Tuljar, of Green Bay, expressed
the opinion that he could shoot it. The
idea seemed ridiculous, but the colonel
picked up a Kentucky rife about six
feet long and blazed away and the bird
fell. An investigation proved that the
bird was shot in the head, and the dis
tance was about mile and quarter.
The colonel was no shot, but this tri-
umph was a mere accident. George W.
Lave kept a house at that point, and it
was here that the feat had been per
formed. An Indian chief stood there,
and when the result was made known
the Indian paivatcly inquired of the col
onel how he had aimed. He answered,
"Right between the eyes The Indian
stepped up, took off his sole article OF
dress and laid it on the counter, ex-

TENACTrY OF A SHARKS BITE. "A cor
respondent of the Tyrone Greland) Con-
stitution states that a young white shark
was captured some days since by the
crew Of post boat between Bufin island
and the main land Notwithstanding its
small size -four feet it proved on the mar
row space astern to be most unmanage-
able and dangerously active. In drop
ping upon The stern sheets it seized a
female passenger by the leg, inficting
bad wound. Fortunately the grip had
not been fairly taken, and the woman in
her fright freed The limb. Il was eyi-
dent there could be no truce now, and
the boatman, planting both feet upon the
shark back, held the gaff firmly in the
left hand, and, plying his knife with a
will, severed the head and body. Du-
ring this operation, with native fierceness
the shark held Oh by the woman, retain
ing a mouthfnl of her pesstiooats, and on
ly after the body had been tossed over
board were the jaws pried open to free
her from the savage death grip.

LOSING A BUTTON. Scott tells
a story OF a boy who was with him in
school, who always stood at the head OF
his class. Tt was the custom Of the
scholars to change places in their classes
according to failure or success in recita-
ton ; but, although Walter was number
two, he could not get to the head, be-
cause this boy never missed. But Wal
ter noticed that he had habit, when
puzzled by q hard question, of twitch-
ing button on his jacket, and this seem
ed to help him think out right answer.
Walter, more through mischief than
any worse motive, cut off the button
slyly one day, to see if it would make
any difference. The lesson was a spell
ing lesson, and several boys at the foot
missed hard word. It came around to
the head. The boy instinctively put his
looked down to find it, grew confused,
missed the word and Walter went above
him. The boy never got to the head
again, seemed to have lost his ambition,
settled down into a second rate scholar,
and never accomplished much in life.
Walter Scott declared that he often slf-
fered sharp remorse at the thought that
he possibly spoiled the boy for school
and for life by cutting off the button
that had done such good service.

TRAINING COLTS.

A writer gives the following sensible
suggestion about training colts. A cool
head, and calm and steady nerves, with
even the most irritating animals. More
over, never forget that the law Of kind
ness is stronger in it's influence on the
animal creation than the law of force.
Remember this also: Do not make
much noise when having a conflict with
a colt. Say little to him, and nothing to
any one else. Do not be shouting s'Get
up !' "Whoa !" ''Look out there - and
the like. Silence is great virtue in a
horse trainer. A low-voiced groom is
worth his weight in gold about the sta
bles.
A horse cannot understand sounds
like human being, and the less said to
him, for the most part, the better. A
few sounds, of course, are necessary; the
word "Whoa," being one of these.
This word should mean stop; it should
never mean any thing else iii the colt s
ears. 1t should be pronounced in quick,
sharp, imperative tone. 1t should never
be drawled out or prolonged, as if there
were a dozen as, instead of one, after
the o, as Is often the case. Whoa means
stop, and when colt hears it, he should
stop, and stop in his tracks, too.
The method is simple: Put your bri-
die on your colt, buckle in pair of long
lines, and, taking position in the rear,
start him again. After he has taken a
few steps say, "Whoa !'' At the same
time give him slight twitch on the bit
sufficient to cause him to stop. Do not
be rude or harsh, but gentle and firm.
Start him again now, and repeat the
sound and the movement of the hand.
The colt will soon catch the idea, and
learn what the sound means. Then you
can go on, and teach him that it not on
ly means stop but that it means stop
instantly. a few days of simple treat
ment will suffice to teach him thorough
ly the lesson, which, when we'll learned,
he never forgets, and the real value of
which can scarcely be over-estimated.
IF the colt is worth $500 when broken IN
the ordinary way, he is certainly worth
5000 when instructed fully in the man
ner here set forth. Any sensible man,
IN purchasing horse for family service
or for fast driving on the road, willglad
" pay 500 extra if the breeder can show
to him that the colt viii stop short In his
tracks, at the word; for he sees that,
amid even the average risks and haz-
ards of driving, such power over the
animal may prove of supreme 1mpor-
tanca

TILDEN'S BOURBONIsM.
A te-Right" Democrat of the John
@. Calhoun Stripe.

The correspondent of the Waukesha
Democrat vouches for Tilden's Demo
cracy in a letter dated Washington, Oct.
2, 1876, as follows:
Next week Will tell the story. On
Tuesday the 10th inst, Ohio, Indiana ard
West Virginia will vote the Democratic
ticket by majorities so large chat the rad
ical hosts will be demoralized, and un-
able to rally in sufficient force to make
even the show of a decent fight in No
vember. Every device to defeat the Dem
ocracy has been exhausted by the IN
crupulous enemy. Bat reliable advices
from the three States above named as
sure us complete triumph in each OF
them. Mr.. Tilden's opposition to cile
var has been made the most of by our
antagonists. But it avails them nothing
The war is over And it is remembered
that some of tho best and purest men in
the United States opposed the war. Pres
ident Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, Frank
lin Pierce, Stonewall Jackson, Robert e.
Lee, John G. Breckenridge, HoraJio
Seymour, George B. Mcclellan andhun-
dreds of others were averse to the war,
and especially to the employment of col
ored troops and to the emancipation of
the slaves. 4 majority of the leading
statesmen Of Great Britain, and many on
the continent of Europe, sided with the
South. There was clean cut and honest
difference of opinion, all over Christ
endom, as to the right or wrong of the
late rebellion. Mr.. Tilden, with many
other distinguished men of our own and
other countries, leaned toward the South
an American. And now that section
naturally gives him its united support.
It goes solid for him. There has been a
disposition among the timid friends of
Mr.. Tilden to deny that he was opposed
to the war. But Mr.. Tilden himself has
never sanctioned such a denial. He
1865, opposed to the aOa,' for coercis,y
the dissatisfied States Of the Union to
remain in 1T. Mr.. ISlc1eaa IS still q good
ol0fashaoned, ,Stdte-1'ight Democrat OF
the John c. Calhoun stripe; and the
Presidency can not tempt him to for
swear his faith. And that is why the
people like him. That is why they will
vote for him. He refuses all importu-
mites to make him say that the invasion
of the South was justifable; because he
believes it was not justifable And that
is why Indiana and Ohio are going to
vote the Democratic ticket in October,
and the people of the United States are
going to elect him President in Novem-
Der. They like his pluck.

A DAYS PLowING.-This is question
upon which there seems to be no def
mite, settled opinion. Some will say
that an acre is days work for a man
and team. This must evidently vary
just as the sort Of plow, the quality Of
plowing, the character of the soil and the
kind of team vary Hence the estimate
for days plowing can only be made
with approximating defniteness. Take a
man who makes furrows as crooked al
most as q fence worm, and from to 3
inches deep, and some foot and half
wide, leaving unturned ground between
the furrows, and no fair man will say
that such work should be compared
with plowing done up in first-rate order,
with good plow, straight furrows,
turning and tapping well, of proper
depth, and all with a good team. The
usual days plowing for this kind of work
may be set down at about an acre as an
average, and such man and team as
worth about S3 so, which is the estimate
for blowing an acre OF ground. .-Rural

BREAKFAST.
An Anecdote Of the Way President
Hayes Paid for His.

[From the Monongahela Goa.) Republican,
'sIn the winter OF 1854" said Adam
Wickerham to some of the boys the 9TH
er evening, "the old Twenty-Second Ca
valry was guarding Mil Bridge below
Martinsburg. Some six or eight of our
mess had built cabin at the bridge,
and were doing guard duty there. The
February storm washed the bridge away
and high water made the forling too
deep to pass. One evening a cavalry
man rode up to our cabin and seemed
very much disappointed at not being
| able to pass. We invited him to stay all
night and bunk with us. f said he
belonged TO an Ohio regiment, and was
very anxious to get over to Trolson's
house, some half a mile beyond. Think
ing that morning might find the creek
low enough to cross, he picketed his
horse in our pine shanty stable, and af-
ter a frugal supper from our mess board
passed round his pouch of kilikinnic,
and then smoking awhile and asking
number of questions, wrapped himself
in his overcoat and went to sleep. In
the morning some OF the boys went out
to feed, others to go on duty, while Jim
White set about the breakfast. Giving
the stranger look, ''Dixie" said in his
usual blunt way, clock here, stranger,
suppose you go and get some wood ev-
cry man has to work his way on this
steamer" The graYe-looking man smil-
ed but said nothing, lighted his pipe,
and started Out. Something in hisman-
ner caused some one to remark, ''better
look out, Diyie, that may be an officer"
and elected the reply, cit don't matter
a d-n, he must either work or go hun
cry. [ don't care a continental if he he
the President When the good-natrlr-
ed stranger returned with an arm load
of wood, we asked him his regiment and
name. "Oh," said he, sit makes no dif-
ference, boys, [ am Obliged to you for
your hospitality; my name is Hayes, and

sion which was yesterday moved over to
Trolson's, and which [ hoped to join by

Creek, the previous October, had made
Col. Hayes Gen. Hayes-the same fight
which made Sheridan lieutenant general,
and which made Gen. Hayes Governor
of Ohio.

OUR TIMBER SUPPLY.-James Little,
of Montreal, has published pamphlet
on the probable duration of the timber
supply OF Canada and the United States,
if the destruction of forests goes ON at
the present rate. Beginning with Maine,
he limits her forest resources to period
from five to ten years. Her principal
pineries are nearly all gone, and many
of the mills erected for the white pine
trade are now running on spruce of small
dimensions. The Eastern and all the
Middle States, except New York and
Pennsylvania, are just as badly off. The
Adirondacks still have a large quantity
of spruce left, and the SusquehannaVal-
ley in Pennsylvania, is still rich in pine;
but it is estimated that few years more
will clear the good timber from both.
A large number of the Southern States
abound in pitch pine and cypress, but
have no white pine, which is the wood
most in demand for general use. To
the vast stretches of white pine in Mich
igan he allows life only of six years /;
and he takes the same view of W1scon-
sin and Minnesota. Ohio, Indiana, Iii
nois and the prarie States and Territor-
les generally have but little forest land,
and are largely dependent on Michigan
and Wisconsin. Washington and Ore
gon have timber to spare, and distribute
it along the whole western coast of North
and South America In conclusion, he
advises more liberal encouragement
of the cultivation of new forests, if only
to avert in part the serious consequen-
ces of the elimination of rainfall which
follows these unsparing raids on the
timber lands.

MUMMIES IN PFaU.-Several months
ago, while making excavations for a new
railroad running out of Lima, Peru, the
workmen unearthed near Ancona, inter
esting relics which are on exhibition in
Clinton Hall. They comprise mummies,
both of men and brutes, together with
pottery, cloth, netting, needle work, and
various other things buried in the Peru
Wan tonbs, perhaps 5000 years. On one
table is collection OF more than fifty
heads, all well preserved. Some are
bare skulls hleaohed to snowy whiteness
but by far the greater number are al
mirably preserved, with hair perfect,
and teeth generally in good condition.
Among the mummies is that OF 6 full
grown man covered with bandages, over
which is tied netting. Another is Ell
closed in a sack fastened with twine tied
in just such bow knots as our bellies use
III confning their necks with ribbons.
There are several babies, too. One
wears necklace, and another holds rude
toys in his hands. Wool IS shown, such
as was used to staff the mouths, ears
and noses of the dead. The coverings
Of the bodies were made of it, and the
ornaments were covered with it.

CAMEL RIDING.

My camel was tied down in the sand
patiently awaiting his burden. You tie
a camel to hin1self-that is when he has
shut up his legs under him like knife
blades you slip leathern bracelet over
his knees and there you have him, for it
is impossible for him to open his legs so
long as this bracelet is around it, bind
ing the leg above the knees and the
shin-bone together like pair OF tongs
OF course it is not easy to find anything
in the desert to which you may tie your
camel with security benefcent Prov
idence has therefore made every camel
his own hitching-post likewise his own
cistern and vegetable market and step
ladder-in fact the camel is the most
complete machine on four legs that we
have a knowledge Of. His machinery is
clumsy and needs oiling. His great
joints show shrough his hides, and his
tail is the barest apology and unworthy
of notice. You would think your camel
went on stills if you were to start off
suddenly, sitting in a nest of luggage on
/ that high back Of his. You would think
he had his feet in poultices. if you were
to look at the soft, spongy things as they
fail noiselessly on the earth and spread
under his tottering weight. and that
fearful face of his, with its liquid and
pathetic eyes, and those deep cavities
| above them, big enough to hold hens
egg ; his sacquiline nose, with its narrow,
slanting nostrils, that shut tight against
the sand storms and the whitening kahn
sin, and give very scornful expression
to the face the whole face looks as if it
were just going to cry. The absurd
under lip is puckering and pouting to
the most charming extent, and you are
not at all surprised when the beast
finally bursts into tears and cries long
and loud like great overgrown baby.
This is the pudding-footed pride of the
ment, and whose milk is meat and drink.
While my camel was still kneeling with
his strap over his leg, I stepped into the
curve of the neck and went up the front
stairs to the top of his hump. His sad
die was tree Of wood with thick rugs
lashed over it. It was little like
swinging i'll sawbuck, riding that camel
to Sakkarah. He edged his way over
the desert, putting the two legs Oh one
side of him forward at the same time,
and then kneeling over and pushing the
other side ahead. [ was continually
rocked back and forth until my head
swung loosely on my shoulders, my sides
ached and all my spine was sore. Many
people are seasick when they mount the
camel for the first time The motion is
not unlike that of small boat in the
chop sea. There is certainly DO pleasure
and very little elegance in your rest as
you toss to and fro on the summit Of
that animated mountain of India rubber.
