A Dynamite Hoax.

A young man from South Carolina,
who has recently been travelling In Eu-
rope with his tutor, was at Willard s
Hotel, in Washington, ID. O. Having
on their arrival in New York left in the
custom house there box containing q
number of articles, they concluded to
draw up an affidavit to meet the re-
quirements of the law in withdrawing
the box. In this they had proceeded
so far as to write Washington, May
%, 1875. 1 (name of afliant) hereby
swear that the box containing - Then,
being unable to remember the articles,
they concluded to postpone making it,
and the paper was left carelessly at the
hotel, and they proceeded to Baltimore.
A newspaper man afterward picked up
the paper and continued the writing,
adding "the dynamite fixtures ar
ranged for the purpose of blowing up
the present administration was carefully
deposited under the White House on
Sunday night, the wenty-eighth. 1t is
so arranged that it will explode on the
thirtieth of May, at 11;30 o'clock.
Hoping that it will perform its work
successfully, l am yours, " etc. He gave
the paper to friend who sent it to the
Presidents house, where an Intellectual
search for the box was made. Some OF
the detectives then took the matter in
hand aud traced the South Carolinians
to Baltimore. Explanations followed;
the discrepancy between the handwrit
ing of the tutor and the subsequent adj
dition to it was pointed out, and the de-
tectives left,

forward. They leap on everything

Is it the Time !

See, isn't this about the season of the
year, asks an exchange, to start the
original and veracious item about the
woman whose child fell into the well,
and while she was fishing it out the
screams of her baby called her to the
house, where she found it had pulled a
tub of water over itself, which was with
ing in the agony of death (the child was,
not the tub, and then when she ran to
call her husband from the field, met the
hired man bringing in all they could
find of him after a short but vigorous
Greco-Roman wrestle with q reaping
machine, and then rs she turned in
despair to run into the house again,
stepped on the teeth of hay rake,
causing the handle to fly up and hit her
in the back of the head with such vio-
lence that it broke bran new comb
that she gave three dollars for only the
week before9 1t appears to us that this
is about the right time.

An Immense Hog,

A hog raised in Monroe, Mo to be
exhibited at the Centennial, is described
as being of black and white color, and
is q cross of the China and Poland. II
is five years old; was born in Missouri,
on the farm of Mr.. Joseph Pond. II
measures seven feet four inches in
length, three fest four inches in height,
is fully thirty inches across the back,
girths nine feet, and weighs 1,54C
pounds. 1t has been fed principally
upon milk, with small quantities of corn
occasionally to give solidity to the flesh,
and shows that no particular pains have
been taken to give it an artificial ap.
pearance. Its hair is rough, its skin and
flesh is rough and thick with dandruff,
and it is by no means thing of beauty.
Still it is claimed that it is the largest
and heaviest hog on the globe.

Fully Satisfied.

A pleasant little anecdote is told of a
six-year-old son of one of the most sue
cessful concert managers of New York.
He had been invited to several children's
parties, and thought he must give par
ty also. So he asked friend of the
family if he could have the seats taken
Jut of the music hall and have the
party there. The gentleman humorously
sent word to him that he would "take
the matter into consideration " and let
him know. This reply the boy con
side, ed very favorable, and so thought it
time to make other arrangements. He
soon buttonholed his father and said:
81 feel sure of the hall, and now want
Won Bulow to play tine piano." .+a.
"But," said the astonished parent,
"Von Bulow's lowest price is seven
hundred dollars" ;"
"Well, replied the boy, very earn
estly. 81 think I should be willing to
pay that" wtr

Our Grain Exports,

While the foreign demand for bread
stuffs was less active in 1875 than in
1874, the present year opened with
marked activity in the movement of
cereals to the seaboard cities. Since
January l, 1876, there has been exported
from New York, of wheat alone, 10,-
900, 900 bushels against less than 6, 6,400,-
900 bushels during the corresponding
period last year. An active export de-
mand has induced lively business in
the way of ocean freights, at generally
advancing prices. On the last Saturday
in May the grain .chartering movement
was the most extensive reported in any
single day for long time past, amount
ing in the aggregate to 1,021, 900
bushels, divided as follows: From New
York, 100000 bushels; from Philadel-
phia, 10000; from Baltimore, 1000
bushels. The increased grain move
ment is still further shown by the ship
ments from lake ports during the two
weeks ending May 7, 1876-8,445,311
bushels against 4,217,378 bushels for
the corresponding two weeks in 1875.
Since the Central railways withdrawal
from the compact by which the rates on
east bound freight were fixed on mile
age basis, there has been sharp compe-
tition between rival carrying interests,
causing lower transportation charges be-
tween the interior and the seaboard
cities than have ever before prevailed.
The United States is the granary
of the world, and the principal custom
ers are Great Britain, Germany, France,
Spain, and Portugal. None of the
European grain centers can at all ap-
proach Chicago, Buffalo, and New York
in the magnitude of their grain opera
tions. The largest annual receipts of
flour and prain ever known at one point,
107, ,273, 1853 kbushels, were received in
New York in 1874 the receipts at Buf-
falo in 1873 run up to 106, ,49l ,223 bush
els; in the same year (1873) Chicago at
tanned its highest figure, 100,189, 10l
bushels. The receipts at Philadelphia
in 1874 were "a, ,625, ,591 bushels /; at Bal
timore, "a, 936, 208 bushels. The deliveries
of flour and grain at the seven chief At
lantic seaboard cities, New York, Bos-
ton, Portland, Montreal, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and New Orleans, during the
year 1874, amounted to 206, ,497, 486
bushels, of which New York received
107, ,273, 1853 bushels, OR more than one
half.

A Bad Son.

John Farrell, a young profigate of
Milwaukee, closed his life by his own
hand. He was seen prowlipg about the
home of his wife, who had discarded
him on account of his evil habits, and
espying his mother in. law in the wood
shed, shot at her. Her screams that she
was shot led bin to believe that he had
killed her, and in an instant he had sent
ball through his own head. Farrell
was the only son of wealthy parents, had
sent his father to an early grave with a
broken heart, and had spent thousands
of his patrimony in debauchery. He
was going from bad to worse when he
SO suddenly and tragically ended his ex-
istence.

ChamOis Hunting.

1t is not so very long since we had the
pleasure of conversing with one of the
best Scotch deer stalkers and most sue
cessful of chamois hunters, says trav-
eler. According to this gentleman's ex
perience, getting a shot at red deer
is mere child's play compared to getting
within range of the lynx eyed and keen
scented chamois. No one need to sleep
out all night upon an icy mountain ledge
to kill red deer; but in order to cir
cumvent chamois the sportsman is
compelled to adopt this course for many
nights at time before he even sees his
quarry. Then, again, deer stalkers
draw up the mountain as rule, while
the chamois hunters object is to attain
q high altitude first and creep down to-
ward the object he wishes to "draw a
bead" upon. At gray dawn the chamois
hunter is on the alert, and by the aid
of his clear eyed Swiss guide and one
of the best deer stalker's glasses he
sweeps the rocky peak and ledge within
his ken. If he is lucky enough to spot
the sentinel chamois perched on some
pinnacle of rugged granite, they partly
separate in order to circumvent the
flock, proceeding which in nine cases
out of ten end, in miserable discontinue.
Sometimes, however, the party above
the chamois get a crack, at others those
below. Even should the bullet take
effect, not bone of the quarry may be
even picked at the camp fire. Some
times the death-struck chamois topples
off the giddy ledge, and bounding from
projecting crag to crag as he falls down
ward, eventually lodges in some mac
cessible crevice, mere pommeled mass
of shapeless skin and bone. At other
times the hunters find it impossible to
get at the ridge upon which the chamois
has fallen. Should the party, however,
succeed in catching the old goat great
rejoicing and horn blowing isindulgedin in.
The flesh of the chamois eats more
like goats than deer meat, and from
the gourmand's point of view is o dead
failure. The wild, sterile and romantic
scenery, the dead silence of the Alpine
heights where the dangerous sport is
pursued and the extreme arduousness oi
the pursuit-all have charms for The
true sportsman and lover of nature.
Sportsmen love sport for sports sake,
and it is not the prize they value sc
much as the winning of it. The Swiss
mountaineers are ardent chamois hun.
ters, and many of the goiter affected in.
habitants lose their lives yearly in hunt
ing the wild goat.

A Young Emperor.

The little emperor of China is about
to commence his education-accordin
to report. He is only six years old.
The fourteenth of May was chosen as
the propitious day for him to begin his
systematic studies, the astrologists hav-
ing ascertained this important point.
His little majesty will study in what is
called the Jou-King Room" of the
imperial palace. Hong -Toung- Hoet
and Hia- Toung- Schian will be his tu-
tors. He will learn the Mantchoo and
Mongol languages and literatures at the
same time, with riding, archery, swim
ming, blowing, and other bodily exer-
cises. A young companion will be ap-
pointed to receive all the foggings in
Cured by the imperial boy--an arrange
ment which would suit many another
schoolboy.

The Man o. Airlie,


Oh, there above, yon heather hill,
Where footfS comes but rarely,
There is house they point out still,
Where dwelt the man O. Airlie.
He wore coat o. holden gray,
His hand was hard wi labor;
But still he had namely way
o. standin' by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made men rejoice,
His words the neighbors guided
But little bairnies loved his voice
And in his smile confded;
The word, to-day, that left his lip,
Became deed tomorrow.
Hout man, the friendship O. his grip
Would lift the heart O. sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in learnin' sairly.
And yet ye'd pick him frse crowd,
The honest man O. Airlie.
His wealth, it was ma in his land,
IL WAS La III Uue Guy
A mint o honor was his hand,
His heart q mine O. pity.
He's dead and game, this prince O. Fife,
Mute is his burly laughter
But ah the music o. his life
That bides wi us lang after.
His memory lives, the man may die,
That fingers bright and lovin',
Just like star lost frae the sky
Whose ray survives his ruin.
CHORUS.
Oh, up and down an roun an roun,
And or the hale world fairly,
Ye might hae searched, but never foun

WHY IT Is.-The editor of the Pail
Mall Budget says one of the chief rea-
sons why dueling has become less
fashionable is because so little satisfac'
tion is obtained from it. A man feels
aggrieved at some slight to his honor,
and demands satisfaction, but he cannot
get it. He dare not kill his adversary
and his adversary dare not kill him, for
fear of the gallows.

K. e. JOHNSON, who arrived at Camp Ba-

ates the statements previously made in re-
gard to the uneasiness felt there for the
safety. OF their transportation. He states
that the quarters being erected there are of
a very temporary nature, as the buildings
are formed of logs set on end in the ground,
with roof slanting one way. The hay and
wood contractors are from Minnesota and
are busily at work. Cottonwood is plenty,
but hay is scarce. The hay contractors have,
not unpacked their machines, but are at
work among the timber with scythes. and
the probability is that they will not be able
to cut but a very small portion of the guam
tity needed.
