A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, who is now vending his
way homeward, after tour Of the
South, writing from South western
Georgia, represents the condition Of
the negro in that State as much bet
ter than that of the colored people
in South Carolina, and attributes i.
to the fact that Georgia has been
longer under the dominance of the
intelligence of the State. In bis
opinion twice as many negroes own
real estate in Georgia as they do in
South Carolina, and all this is owing
to their having, as rule, dropped
politics and gone to work in dead
earneLt.

A GOOD BEAR STORY.

For many years there lived 10 the
town Of Brighton, VI, a man by the
name Of Seneca Foster. Although 8
man Of no more than medium size,
he possessed the most wonderful
physical vigor and endurance. No
exertion or exposure seemed to inn
pair his health. Mr.. Fosters son
Jack inherited much of his fathers
strong constitution and elastic frame.
One summer day Jack was out hunt
ing ia the vicinity Of Island Pond.
He tramped long and far, but with
out success. The woods seemed
destitute Of game. Finally be be.
came discouraged aud started home
ward. On his way, as he was pass-
ing dense shicket, he saw two bear
cubs asleep. They lay partially on
their sides with nose to nose. From
one direction 1t was easy 20 reach
them. He knew he could kill them
with his gun, but he woull like to
capture them alive. The cubs were
large enough to show fight, and per.
haps their dam was within call ready
to interfere. Jack peered cautious
II about, and not seeing the mother
bear, decided TO risk the attempt.
Placing the gun 10 position where
be could swing It under his arm af-
ter be had secured his prey, he crept
softly to the sleeping animals, and
suddenly grasped each BY the nose.
He expected in this manner to hold
them so tight that they could not
saueal. One of them he succeeded
in holding in that manner, but the
other slipped from his grasp. Noth>
ing daunted, Jack caught him by
the bind leg, secured his gun, and
started on the run for home. And
the end was not yet.
The cub not liking to be carried
by the hind leg, set up loud COM
plant, and the old bear Immediately
replied -she was close at hand
Jack heard her crushing through the
brush after him, and he knew now
tina, success depended on his speed
and muscle. 1t was fifty rods to the
clearing, and he had not more than
ten rods the start. 1t was case OF
life or death, unless he relinquished
the cubs, and he was not the man to
do that. Encumbered as he was he
ran like hound; butthe bear gain>
ed on him, and when he approached
the edge of the woods Mrs Bruin was
lust at his heels. Jack understood
his peril. There was high log
fence just at the edge Of the clearing;
fortunately large log lay aside the
fence. With one tremendous bound
Jack leaped ] on 7 the log another
muscular bound carried him over the
fence into the field. The bear was
on the fedce as soon as Jack struck
the ground. But she hesitated a mo-
ment about following him in the open
field, and he sped away so fast that
she finally turned back into the
woods, and Jack escaped to relate
his exploit and verify it by the ex>
hibition of his captive cubs.

j. H. Whitson, Of New York, re-
covered a verdict of 81, 497 against
Henry J. David, lawyer, whom he
sued in the Brooklyn city court for
that amount for professional negli>
gence, in failing to bring suit
promptly on four promissory notes
made by Charles Lent. Jr., & Co.
Mr. Whitson put the notes in the
hands of Dir. David for collection in
1867, and did not get them back
until 1876. In the meantime death
and insolvency overlook the persons
who were responsible for the debts,
and the notes became valueless.
