successful hunt after cattle; he had come
across herd, buttin the excitement of
stalking them his rife went of, and so
did the beasts.
Having rested and refreshed ourselves,
E. and.I, after taking turn round
to see how the men were getting on with
the carcasses, and giving directions for
preserving the heads, struck into thick
wood, on the chance OF getting a shot at
bull. We had not gone far before a
red bull, which had been lying down,
sprang up within twenty-five yards of
us, and, after running short distance,
turned and stood at bay, as though con-
templating charge, and giving E. q
point-blank shot at his head.
No result followed the shot, beyond
the speedy retreat of the bull; perhaps
it was just as well he did so, for had he
charged us in such place, surrounded
as We were by dense jungle, which would
have retarded our escape, though it
would have offered no obstacle to aheavy
beast, we must have either killed him or
he one of us.
On our return to the hut we sent the
meat down to the ship, and returned on
board, and the ship was soon speeding
away again before the fresh trade wind.

AFTER VACATION TIME.

lFor the benefit of those who have not read The
Forester's Offering. by Spencer T. Hall, man o.
and by trade printer, We will trans
fer to our pages the following lines which were ad
dressed by him to the sons Of Mr.. Halls friends on
their return to school after vacation time.l
Once more in yigor turn, dear boys,
To your scholastic duties;
From knowledge spring LIES noblest joys,
Its comforts and its beauties.
Away, then, for the days Of youth
Ye cannot spend more cheeriy,
Or nobly than in wooing truth,
Which, winning, plize most dearly.
For though youths budding hopes may bloom
In manhood but to vanish,
Time cannot learnings stores consume,
Nor care its pleasures Danish.
Oh, mol it's Joys still round US glow,
When we thrcegh life have striyen;
Since only blossoming below,
They ripen but in heaven.
Then onward press with purpose true,
With ardor never falling,
Since slighted chances late to rue
Is surely unavailing.
Your means of learning, strength and skill,
And wit, do not doubt them;
But having these, and NOT the will,
You'd better be without them.
Away, away | and ever may
Your tasks be light and pleasant,
As are your unchecked sports to-day,
While with your parents present.
And when ye to their arms return,
Fresh flowers of promise bringing,
No weed of vice be theirs to mourn
Among your virtues springing.

AN Indian vessel was sunk in smooth
water near Sidney, G. B., by fouling an
anchor and staving hole in her bottom.
She was Immediately condemned and
sold for six hundred dollars. The day
afterward she was righted, hoated, and
by the aid of ten dollars worth of wood
and copper was put in good order and re-
leased for four years. She had been in
sured for forty-fiye thousand dollars in
Lloyd's, and the mail which carried to
them the intelligence of her loss carried
also the new classification. Ii was a
piece of quick work and shrewd enter
prise, which the insurance companies
fail to appreciate.

SOME interesting experiments have
lately been made in Cork harbor with

distinctly heard at the surface by means

GENERAL KAUTz has accomplished
the removal of the Chiracabua Indians
to the San Carlos Agency, Arizona,
without bloodshed. The village con-
sisted of three hundred and twenty
men, women and chilnrens who, in the
transfer, were escorted by three COM
panies of cavalry.

Truth is quite as strange as fiction.
A New York uncle bequeathed his

novelist could have conjured upa neater

TIE Emperor of Brazil has entered
very earnestly into the project of induc-
ing the large Russian emigration to trans
fer its objective point from the United
States to Brazil. He has offered, it is
said, one hundred and sixty acres to each
emigrant and the certainty of one years
substance. The prospect is SO tempting
that it is but as natural sequence that
we learn that a considerable number of
the Mennonite colonies who had deter
mined to locate in the United States
have delayed their departure from home
until an official delegation sent out by
them to examine the two sections
critically shall report whether it would
be equally advantageous to settle in
Brazil.

roPIcs OF THE TIME.

THE largest negative ever produced by
means of photography was recently ex-
hibited in San Francisco. 1t was about
three feet long and two feet wide, and
the perfected apparatus is said to have
cost the inventor over S12, 900.

In 1872, the year before our panic, the,
British steel workers at Sheffield sent
their products to this country to the
amount of sS,67S, ,130 by their invoice
price in England. In 1875, the products
shipped from Sheffield to this country
amounted to only ss26,O This shows
astartling decline in the British trade in
iron and steel With the United States.

AMONG the guests of one of the largest
hotels at Rye Beach, N. H., an epidemic
broke out, which for some time baffled
the skill of the local physicians. Venti-
lation, drainage, water, milk and every
description of food were foupd unexcep-
tionable, till the last suspicion became
directed to the supply of ice furnished to
the hotel, and which had, during period
of six weeks been consumed in variable
quantities by five hundred persons. A
visit made to the pond whence the ice
supply had been taken in winter at once
revealed the cause of the blood poison
ing. A space at its lower end, about FIVE
hundred feet long and one hundred and
fifty wide, directly in front of the mouth
of the brook that fed the pond was a
homogeneous mass of putrescent matter,
composed of marsh mud and decompos-
ing sawdust. The water in the vicinity
was black, and when stirred emitted an
intolerable stencil. The notion that ice
purifes itself by freezing is fallacious
and contrary to experience.

JOHN 81. ALLEN, of Troy N. Y, is
the fortunate possessor of one hundred
and twenty-five acres of land a short
distance from Thurman Station on the
Adirondack Railroad, and about sixty
miles from Troy, upon which is said to
exist mine of pure emery. Specimens
of the deposit have been submitted to
the Messrs. Gurley and other eminent
machinists, and have been pronounced
the nufe article. A geologist has ex-
amined the land upon which the deposit
was found, and, it is said, declares that a
hill, where that which has been tested
was found, is full of the precious stuff.
The deposit is now being worked by a
large force of professional miners under
the direction of Mr.. Allen, and further
tests by competent experts are to be soon
made. Several emery wheels have been
made from the material already mined
and have stood satisfactory tests. If the
discovery meets the expectations of Mr.,
Allen, there will be g millions in it." as
there is not another emery mine in
America.

THE present is the fourth invasion of
the Big Horn country by United States
troops. General Conner went there in
1866, and destroyed village of hostile
Cheyennes and Arapahoes. In 1866
General CaEington entered the field, and
left it with the Indians in charge and
in March last General Crook led an ex-
psdition thither, which did not yield
practical fruit.
