Hunting the Sea otter in Alaska.

The Saanack islets and reefs constitute
the great sea-otter ground of Alaska, and
hither come native hunting parties from
Oonalaska on the west, and Belcovskie
to the north, where they camp on the
main island, and venture out in their
bidarkies fifteen and twenty miles i'll
every direction to sea. Fires are never
built here unless the wind is from the
south, and food refuse is never scattered
on the beaches. The sufferings to which
the native hunters subject themselves
every winter on this island, going for
many weeks without fires, even for cook
ing, with the thermometer down to zero
in northerly gale of wind, are better
imagined than described; while the va
rious shrewd and skillful articles by
which they outwit the otter in capturing
it would make a long chapter, If fully
enumerated, for this animal, of all wild
animals, seems to be possessed of the
greatest aversion to or dread of the pres
ence, or even proximity, of man. The
natives, when they go from OOnalaska
to Saanak on hunting trip of this char
acter, usually make up party of from
forty to fifty men. They travel in their
light skin bidarkies, two men in each,
and are gone usually three to four
months at time before returning to
their families; they haul their kyacks
out from the water every night as they
bivouac along the coast, and sleep in
gales of wind, which are always loaded
with rain, sleet and fog, without the
least covering, and almost invariably
without fire. All ! rude indeed is the
country of the Aleut, but he is as rugged.
and the bleak, precipitous islands
stamped with his name are all the world
to him. He wants no other, and he is
happy where we would be supremely
miserable. -Harper's Magazine for
November.

A wild steer created an extraordinary
sensation this morning, and ran race
OF some three miles through the busy
thoroughfares before he could be killed.
The beast escaped from q slaughter
house at Forty-fourth street and First
avenue, and ran up that street to Third
avenue, pursued by large crows Of
men and boys. At Third avenue he was
headed of by passing car and turned
up the avenue. At the corner OF Forty
sixth street he attacked an old man,
knocking him down and cutting his head
severely by the fall on the curbstone.
The steer continued his race to Lexing-
ton avenue and turned down that thor
oughfare,. followed by bowling crowd
of pursuers. At Forty-second street he
was again headed off, and, turning up
Forty. second street, made dash for a
crowd of people gathered in front Of
the Grand Central depot. The crowd
scattered, but Richard Flynn was caught
and thrown into the air, receiving Sc
we're scalp wound. A lady next was
overtaken, knocked down, and trampled
upon. She received severe lacerated
wound on the forehead. and waSXbadly
Drulseu on the DOuy. 1ne animal, dlter
his exploit at the depot, ran across to
Broadway and down 70 Thirty-sixth
street, where he encountered Mrs. Agnes
Bradley, aged rs, and repeated the
trampling process, seriously injuring
the old lady, who was taken to Bellevue.
The steer then ran on Thirty sixth street
toward the North river, and, at Eighth
avenue, turned down and continued
along that thoroughfare to Thirty-fourth
street. Here several pistol-shots were
fired at him, but they did not appear to
interfere with him in the least. One of
the bullets struck Anthony Schmidt,
aged 10, in the chin, inficting a severe
wound. The stee continued down
Thirty-fourth street to Eleventh avenue,
evidently making for the water, but was
shot and killed before he reached the
wharf. The carcass of the animal was
then carried to the offal-dock, as 10 per-
son could be found to claim it. The
race was one of the most exciting on
record. The police showed their ability

Wholesale Destruction of Squirrels.

The irrepressible squirrel has at last
met conquerer in the person of Mr..
Brayant, who, if report be true, kills
them by the score. 1t seems that this
squirrel destroyer was for q long time
an invalid. He captured lot of squir-
rels, and day and night, to while away
the tedium of disease, he studied their
habits and discovered their special weak
ness. He then compounded pellet,
the base of which was deadly drug,
and sugar coated it with something es-
pecially attractive to the squirrel tribe.
His success surpassed expectation, and
he is now travelling over the country
taking contracts to kill all the squirrels
on farm for 80 much an acres cents
in the mountains and cents in the val
leys. He passes by their burrows, drops
few grains of his exterminator, and in
few moments the squirrels lie dead in
all directions. 1t is said that one will
eat a grain containing the poison, pick
up another and die with it in his paws.
Green Valley (Solano county, farmers
tell us that heaps of squirrels lie piled
up in that valley, attesting the skill Of
the greatest squirrel-killer of this or
any other country. The farmers of San
Joaquin county will be happy to make
the acquaintance of this individual, with
his little pills.-Stockton (Cdt) hide

Catching Sharks in Florida.

A correspondent sends us the follow
ing novel and effective method of cap
turing sharks, as practiced succe ssfully
at Mayport, watering place at the
mouth of the ST. Johns: 81 procured
tight half-barrel, around which was
lashed strong rope, to which was at
tached three feet of chain and shark
hook, baited with fat mullet. Secur-
ing my line to the apparatus, moored
it just outside of the breakers, and re-
turned in my boat to the shore. Sharks
are numerous and hungry in this section,
and l did not have to wait long for q
customer. 1t would done your heart
good, Col. Thompson, to have witnessed
the extraordinary gambols performed by
that barrel. 1t appeared to have been
imbued with life, and rolled, tossed and
pitched in the most fantastic manner.
Anon the blade-hke dorsal fin of the
monster would cleave the surface, while
his muscular tail would lash the water
into foam. L awaited the result with
composure, feeling assured that the vio-
lent efforts of my captive would soon ex-
haust his powers. Finally his strength
succumbcd, and L drew him on to the
shore with scarcely any exertion. The
specimen was a fine one, and weighed
between 200 and 800 pounds. 1 caught
a smaller one six feet long the same af-
ternoon, and hooked tarpon, which
escaped by leaping clear out of the water,
thereby detaching the hook. My method
has stood the test of experiment, and j
hereby give notice that shall apply for

Ben Butler.

Mr.. Butler was the star performer in
to-day's debate. His physical grotesque-
ness is constant source of fascina-
ton to members. Whenever he begins
to talk, everyone wheels about and gives
the most marked attention. Mr.. But
ler's talk indicates that he is rapidly
growing old. He is now very fat, and
his movements are waddling and clumsy.
His voice comes thick and choked. He
labors in speech like locomotive go
ing up steep grade. He puffs and
belchen out his words in muffled way
that requires the closest attention to de-
termine what he is saying. He gesticu-
lates vigorously, but clumsily. The eli
max of grotesqueness was reached when
he placed his two fat hands together
directly on level with his breast and
swung his powerful head back, as he
apparently pumped, with triple horse
power, logic from the bottom of his
boots. Never did he address the
Speaker, and occasionally he turned his
back square upon him and faced the
crowd as he would have done petit
jury. He shows his age in his slowness
in answering questions, but all of his
old adroitness in pretending to answer
them when he really evades them under
a cloud of Butlerian fog Washington

Safety OF Ocean Travel.

The truth is, there is no trip so safe
as that from New York to Liverpool. Il
has its dangers, of course, but there are
dangers in crossing the Brooklyn ferry
and in walking down Broadway. The
chances of danger are less On the ocean
than in any other form of travel. We
have to thank the bold and skillful men
who make the steamers and sail them
for having achieved this complete COM
forting measure. of safety, and, as Chris
tian people, we have also to thank Di-
vine Providence that the season now
ending has been one of unvarying sue
cess, leaving no tale of disaster to m &C

Some Account OF a Tornado.

A natural scientist and amateur sig
nal-service observer went down to Mount
Carmel the other day, armed with por-
tentous list of questions concerning the
natural history and habits of tornadoes.
Accosting a prominent citizen, whose
property had been dispersed over sew
eral Congressional districts, he asked
him, in the high and holy name of sci
ence, from what direction the tornado
approached, its rate of velocity, its
shape, whether the current of cloud re-
volved in the same direction as the hands
of watch, and several other questions
of a similar nature. The citizen of
Mount Carmel gazed upon him for a
few moments, spat reflectively upon his
hands, pulled off his coat, and replied /:
"Stranger, if you had been sitting on
your front stoop and suddenly seen a
brazen, fiery whirlwind scooting along
like a fast mail train which was year
behind time, and the next thing you
knew your wife was sailing over the
Third Presbyterian Church, and your
house had taken to itself wings and flown
into the uttermost parts of the earth,
you wouldn't be such an irretrievable
by-and-large idiot as to go and ask
whether things flew around from left to
right, or vice versa"
So saying he fell upon the scientist,
and when that scientist got home and
his wife opened the door for him, she
exclaimed
"Oh, Eliakim, there has been another
tornado, and you got caught in it p

May We still on our journey be able TO view

Through country and town,
As pass up and down,

And the hand OF a female divinity sue?

Although It should cost you dollar or two.

And affection is gained by dollar or two.

What time the violets bloom, my dear,
In ways that you and regret,
I saw your gray eyes first grow clear
With love cannot fathom yet,
But never may forget, my dear

What time the winds blows fresh, my dear
A fragrant balm was blown to me;

My blood, like sap in flower or tree.
Swelled for the fruit to be- my dear
The hope of fruit to be!
What time the violets fade, my dear,
What time the winds blow chill and wet,

Though moons may wane and suns may set,

She came and stood In tho Old South Church,
A wonder and sign.
With the look the old-tims sibyis wore,
Half crazed and half divine.
Save the mournful ssckcloth about her wound,
Unclothed ~ the primal mother,
With limbs that trembled and eyes that burned
With fire she dared not smother.
Loose on her shoulders fell her hair
She stood In the broad aisle, strange and weird
As q soul ut the Judgment day!
And the minister paused In bis sermons midst
And the people held their breath;
For these were the words the maiden spoke
Through lips a. pale as death;
"Repent, repent ere the Lord shall speak
In thunder and breaking seals
Let all men worship Him in the way
That his Light within reveals.
"Thus saith the Lord! With equal feet
All men my courts shall tread
And priest and ruler no more shall eat
My people up like bread ]"
She shook the dust from her naked feet,
And her sackcloth closer drew;
And into the porch of the awe-hushed church
She passed ike ghost from view.
They whipped her away at the tail o. the cart
(Sman blame to the angry town y,
But the words she uttered that day nor IRE

And the bell that swings in its belfry rings

And now, whenever a wrong Is done,

The stone from the basement cries aloud,
And the beam from the timber calls.
There are steeple-houses on every hand,
And pulpits that bless and ban;
And the Lord will not grudge the single church
That is set apart for man.
For in two commandments are all the law
And the prophets under the sun,
And the first is last, and the last Is first,
And the twain are verify one.
