Hunting Beasts in Africa.

In getting wild animals the rule is to
kill the old ones and secure the young;
for after any of the beasts have grown
old enough to become accustomed to the
free life of the woods, and to hunt their
own food, they are treacherous, and
worth little for purposes of exhibition.
Paul Luhn, one of the Reiche Broth
ers' men, who has lately returned from
Africa with rare birds and animals, tells
interesting stories of the perils of the
hunt. He says: "The lion is a fierce
creature, and the honess, when protect
ing her young, very much worse; but
from long practice we know just how to
go after them. A good rifle, firm hands,
and steady eyes, and we can soon tOpple
the old fellow over. The old lady may
take little longer, but in the end we
are sure TO kill her, and then it is no
trouble to pick up and secure the cub

was in command. The sailor, not sa-

particular, addressed the sailor;

The Czarowitchs army in Bulgaria

The Ottoman army of Shumla can

Some months ago forged letter,
purporting to be the resignation of Chief
Justice Lewis of Washington Territory,
was received by President Hayes, who,
supposing it to be genuine, accepted the
resignation and filled the vacancy by ap-
pointment. The telegraphic announce.
ment of the appointment led to an ex-
posure of the fraud, and the appointment
was revoked, leaving the Chief Justice
in his place. The letter was sent to the
Territory and submitted to the Grand
Jury there, which failed to indict the
author though it is stated that the hand
writing is unmistab ably recognized as
that of a well.known citizen of Seattle.
There was no attempt to disguise the

"A story is told of an occasion twenty

addressed literary society during COM

he had ended the president called upon
a clergyman to conclude the service with

into the pulpit Mr.. Emerson had just
left and uttered remarkable prayer, of
which this was one sentence: " We be-
seech Thee, o Lord, to deliver us from
ever hearing any more such transcen,

Skaters and Bulls commands have
returned to the American side of the
river without loss. The expedition was
unsuccessful, owing to the fact that the
Indians had been warned of Bulls pur-
suit and escaped. Twelve horses and
two mules which had been stolen from
the American side of the river were re-
captured. A small body of Mexican
cavalry kept upon the trail and in sight
of the command during their march from
