NFw ORLEANS, April 81.
The Picayune, referring to the Com
mission, says: The labors of the Com
mission are virtually at an end. The re
sult of their mission is subject of con-
gratulations to them and to the public.
We congratulate these gentlemen as
well as the President and the people of
louisiana, upon the successful termina-
ton of their difficult and Geiieete mis-.
sion; although the result is that
which We claim Ue had q right to ex-
pect, the public will appreciate the fact
that it has been reached after a fair
patient and non partisan Investigation
of the case. The members of the Com
mission will carry away with them the
hearty good will and high respect of
the people of Louisiana.
The Commission COmplimented.
The Democrat says: The gratiica-
ton on the part of the gentlemen of the
Commission when they are able to an
nounce the end Of their labors can be
appreciated by those who have
witnessed their close application since
their visit here. The members of the
Commission feel that. in a great
measure, their labOrs are ended, and
the drawing up of their final report is
all that is left to do.
Accepting the Situation How

New YoRK, April 81
Nearly all the journals accept the
Louisiana situation. The Times, how
ever, says: There is JOY among the
Nichols party in Louisiana, because
both Houses of their Legislature have
now not aequorum of Returning Board
members" Thoughtful patriots at
Washington and elsewhere are reported
assaying that that settles the matter.
though other thoughtful persons see ia
this mighty pathOs over Returning
Board quorum totally different kind
of settlement from that desired by
Nichols sympathizers. for if the action
of the Returning Board is to settle the
question as to which ia the legally con-
situted Legislature. has not that action
already settled the question that Pack.

TIGER HUNTING.
adventure

The duties of the Bengal police include
the pursuit and apprehension, not only of
thieves and murderers, but also the de-
struction of wild animals. In June, 1876,
an enormous tigress became terror to the
dwellers in the village of Russelpore, and
the deputy magistrate ordered the head
constable and five other constables Of the
Satkira Reserve, to hunt the beast where
she lay concealed, within mile of the sub
division office. Proceeding in a body, they
poured volleys into the jungle, from which
she suddenly sprang on constable named
Madhurum, and lacerated him severely; but
he clasped her firmly till she was bayoneted
by his comrades and was found to measure
five cubits in length. In fact the
whole of Central India is infested by wild
animals of many kinds-hy@nas, leopard',
BEARS wild boars, jackals, and tigers, which,
of course, are the most formidable and de-
structive. The men, the women, the chill
dren, and the cattle are alike all liable to be
carried away, torn, mangled, and devoured.
There are three ways of tiger shooting;
from the howdah of an elephant, from
scaffolding, and on foot. In the second
mode, where the sportsman seats himself
on lofty frame, carcase is laid below to
lure the man-eater within easy rife-shot-a
method, though exciting, so little accom-
panied by danger, that ladies frequently
accompany gentlemen, and take their work
or book with them. But on foot the
sport is full of peril, requiring nerves of
iron and an unerring aim with the most
perfect of rifles. Brought face to face with |
The spotted monarch of the jungle, the ball
that only wounds and fails to slay ensures
generally the death of him who fires it.

creantS avtenuon was partlauy wltnurawn
from me, and I managed to possess myself
of my pistol. Now, under pretence Of
making motion as if in compliance with
his requirements, seized the opportunity
to dash aside the weapon held at my head,
and freeing my throat from his grasp,
sprang to my feet, at the same time flashing
my pistol directly in his face.
Without stopping to see the result of my
shot, I darted upon my other foe, who had
relinquished the bride of my horse at the
report of my weapon, and who stood for
the moment completely astounded at my
sudden movement. Before he could re-
cover or offer any resistance, with one blow
from the butt of my discharged pisto
I stretched him bleeding and lifeless at my
feet.
To spring upon my horse-who, through.
out the encounter had stood quietly by
and dig the spurs into his sides was the
work of a moment. Though driving through
rain, darkness-over countless distractions,
we flew like the wind Every moment l
fancied could hear sounds of pursuit.
behind me; for so thoroughly was imbued
with the ideas of almost fabulous prowess
and marvellous escapes with which popular
credence invested the character and career
of Blake, that I could not at the time be-
leve had killed him; and had not the
hardihood to expose myself to the risk Of
again falling into his clutches merely tx
make this point certain.
In all incredibly short time I arrived al
what seemed to be the place where the
trail branched and turning into the righ'
path this time proceeded along it for q
mile or more. Suddenly peal of thunder
reverberated through the Forest instantane-
ously succeeded by vivid flash of light
ming, which, Illuminating my surroundings
displayed the termination of the path, and
a cluster of settlers cabins directly before
me.
A moment later / dismonnted at tho door
of the nearest cabin, and knocked. My
summons was quickly answered by the
proprietor, who proved to be the maa
was in search Of. He gave me hospitable |
welcome, and after my physical wants had
been attended to, related my adventure.
The knowledge Of Blake's plopinquity |
gave my host considerable alarm; and he at |
once communicated tho intelligence to
number Of his nearest neighbors, who,
completely armed, assembled at his house
to be prepared in case the desperate, or
any of his band, should attempt all attack
upon the settlement.
The night passed without any disturbance;
and early in the morning I accompanied
the backwoodsmen to the spot where l had
been assailed We found the body of the
man with the bushy eyebrows, which was
1t once identified as that of Blake. My
shot had been well sped, and I received the
hearty congratulations of the settlers on my
Blakes confederate had
made good his escape. evidently having only
oeen stunned by my blow.
Not long after the occurrence I was made
he recipient of a considerable reward which
lad been offered by the Government for the
,ody of Blake, "dead or alive" and under
he circumstances I hardly regretted my
dventure.

Ono Su MINER Eve.


Down the green sH ,pes OF Amble slide
Flushed with = ne sunsets gold,
My wayward sv .,eetheart led me-,
One SUNNI .r eve of old,
pretty ~ nee she led me,
Along nose flowery braes,
AS ne lay ind who follows
Aw .llful womans waysl
-H@ 4 bright hair was unbraided-
Her face was like the dawn;
To follow wheresoe'er she led
My foolish heart was drawnl
Light as the bird she fitted on
Free as the wind Of heaven;
But then, my love was seventeen,
And Twas forsy-sevenl
Now here, now thereon, everywhere
She seemed to float and gltdel
Her long locks dancing in the wind
Her mantle streaming wide,
And every parthian glance she barbed
With merry scorn and Jest,
TIL heart and hope, alike, lay cold
And dead within my breastl
Atlast, beside the turn-stile,
We paused In errant flight;
Beyond the hills the FIRST faint stars
We're beckoning up the night;
And suddenly-I knew not how
The earth grew all divinel
Her bright face to my shoulder crept-
Her soft hand clung to mine!
To-day beside my hearth stone
She sits my bonny one,
A-slnging at her dainty tasks,
In shadow or in sun,
Notall the wiles or Fashion,
No ease, nor wealth untold,
Can spoil the Joyous, winsome elf
Who won my heart Of old!

Blake, of whom p'raps you've heard
before"
The announcement that had fallen into
the hands of this desperado-formerly one
of General Taylor's most efficient scouts,
subsequently leader of half the unquiet
spirits that ranged the Texan border to the
terror of the peacefully disposed-tilled me
with unspeakable alarm. Whoever at that
time lived in the clone star" State was well
acquainted with Blakes merciless charac-
ter; for his Infamous deeds had been
blazoned over the length and breadth of the
land, and in no instance were they known
to have been characterized by the least
spark of humanity. His band had lately
been broken up, and the majority captured
and disposed of by that potent Nemesis of
the backwoods - Judge Lynch. Blake,
however, had made his escape, and for some
time was not heard of.

lievng that could hope for no mercy from
Blake, even in case of complying with his
