sNever Seen a Woman. !,

The following is Il part of the expert
ence of Mrs. Helen Hunt in Colorado
LAS we hai ted, three dogs came bound
ing toward us, barking most turiously.
One ol them stopped suddenly, gave one
searching look at me, put her tail be-
tween her legs, and with a pItitul yelp
OF terror turned and fed. / walked
slowly alUer her; she would look back
over her shoulder, turn, make one or
two unges ut me, barking shrilly, then
With the same yelp of terror run swiftly
away. AT last she grew brave enough 10
Keep her face Toward me, but eonLinu-
ally backed away, alternating her bark
o. defiance with ner yelp Of terror in a
way which WAS nresistibiy ludicrous.
We were utterly perplexed by her be-
havi0r until her master, as soun as he
could speak ior laughing, explained it..
Yer see, Lnat 'ere dogs never seen Il
woman atore! She was reared in the
woods, an hain't never look her ne
where's, an, JhaCs jest the TACT ONT; she
dunno Wnat TO make OF II woman IL
grew droller and droilef. The otnet dogs
we're our good friends at once, leaped
about uS.snutfed Us, and licked our hauds
as we spoke W them. Poor BoHser
hung back and barked iuriously with
warning and mauance Whenever |
patted one OF the other dogs, but il |
took step nearer her she howied and
fed in the most ahieet way"

Blunders in the British Navv,

The Saturday Review observes that
the fact that the series OF DIunders of
mishaps which has lately been occur
ring IN the British navy is due, not to
mere casual or isolated causes. but to an
Inherent, pervading, ami deeply-.ooted
weakness in the present system OF ad-
ministratiOn, is nmistakab v proved
by the chronic continuance OF the same
dismal symptoms from week to week.
After referring to the cases Of the
rhunderer, the Alexandra, the Dlvasta
ton. and other ships, the Saturday Re
view adds that they illustrate in Il very
alarming way the degree of confidence
which may be placed in the superyis on
OF the chef Admiralty officials; and it
is impossible TO say Whe her the results
of their Carelessness ana stupidity have
as yet been in all cases discovered.
IL was not for some time that the mad
pranKs which were played in the way Of
cutting ventilatng apertures below the
watel-line i'll the water-3ight bulkheads
Of her Majesty's ships without any pre-
vision fof closing them from above, was
discovered, and the explanation OF the
chief engineer and his subordInates was
simply that they knew nothing about it,.
They mad mad tracings sent for their in
spection, but had misunderstood them,
and had applied this dangerous system
OF ventilation TO the Vanguard, the
Achilles, the uimalaya and some dozen
other ships.
1T is perhaps some ground for hope
that the Admiralty has at last been
Wrung into an expression OF Every great
dissaJls action" at this method OF doing
things. Yet it was not worse than the
seDdlrg out OF the Iron Duke with valves
which, when open TO sea, were marked
shut, ior which nobody was punished or
even rebuked. There is no reason to
tear that IT will turn out, though the
evidence is as vet not Sutfi-
gently complete to warrant positive
judgment, That the lifting out of the Arc
tic Expedition was no exception to the
general rule of careless bungllng which
Is spreading like a dry roL through the
service. It's, at least, clear that the
outbreak Of scurvy crippled the eXpedi-
tion, and prevented it from having a fair
chance; and 1T wou seem that this un-
fortunate event was due 10 an lnsutfi-
ciunt supply OF limp-iuice.

WIDELY DISTRIBUTED ANIMALs.-The
family vi rats Is found in nearly every
quarter, and bats in every part of the
globe. None of the larger land animals
are so widely distributed. Among birds,
the most extensively found are swal-
lows, kingtishers, pigeons, falcons, owls,
rails, snipes, ploVers, nerons, ducks,
guils, petrels, pelicans and grebes.
Crows and swifts are universal ex-
cept i'll New Zealand, and cuckoos ex-
cept i'll the north of North America.
Among reptiles, snakes may be men,
toned as nearly cosmopolites, being
found everywhere except in New Z4a-
land and the tropical islands OF the
Pacific, while geckoes, or wall-llzards,
are absent only rom the north OF North
America. Toads are dispersed over the
whole world except Madagascar, New
Zealand aud the Pacific islands, and
frogs have the same area with the ad-
uitIon OF Madagascar.

ment since j eter the Greats appearance
among them. The present Car, Mr..
Carlyle thinks, is strictly honest
and just man. The Turk, on the other
hand, has been Tor years q cham
pion of bad government and
tyranny of every description. Since
the CrimeAn war, AT the conclusion OF
which he promised 10 reform every
thing, he has relormed nothing and at
tempted to reform nothing; by bankrupt
finance he has swallowed disastrous
tribue of many new millions from the
widows and orphans OF England; as tinis
TO all, he has accomplished the horrors
OF Bulgaria and such savageries as are
without parallel. Mr.. Carlyle believes
that it is the duty OF the powers TO turn
the governing Turk with all his Pashas
and Bashi Bazouks out of Europe for
ever. The result is in the long run in
evltable, and it were better to set about
il now than TO temporize ana haggle III

French juries often astonish the world
by the curious way in which they dis
cover "eXtenuating circum stances" in

Hayes to day received dispatch from
Senator Sherman advising him to at once
