The Wolves and the Hunter,

A modern Munchausen writes as fol-
lows: Yes, Lwas a trapper and scout
for thirty years, and during that time I
tramped nearly every part of the great
Northwest. At the time I was Just
speaking of was guiding a captain of
the army to st. Louis from Fort Laramie
N the dead nf winter The cnntain afto-.
ward became a great general, and is
known all over the Union, they say. We
had got short of meat, and 1 was led
several miles out of the way to geta deer
that day; so came night, we were
obliged to camp out for the first time on
our journey. We selected spot shell
tered by huge rock that had shallow
cave at its base. We collected big pile
of brush and built line of camp fires in
front of the cave to scare away the
wolves, who were already beginning to
howl about us. The captain watched
the first part of the night to keep the
fires bright. I was fearfully sleepy and
cold when the captain woke me and took
my place in the blankets.
From the heat of the fire or my
fatigue, or some other cause, I grew
sleepy. struggled against the feeling,
but must finally have fallen asleep, for I
awoke near morning terribly cold, with
the line of fire broken in front of me and
two eyes of fire glaring into mine 1t
was wolf. I grasped my knife and
prepared for his assault. 1t came. I
succeeded in killing him, and lifting the
carcass high in the air threw it out into
the darkness. A terrible growing, and
I knew that he was being eaten by his
family and friends. Before I had time
to turn around another of the pack came
creeping in to my broken line. I served
him as I had the first, and with the same
result Fourteen times did I kill q wolf
and throw him out to be eaten by his
hungry chums. Then there was a respite
of fifteen to twenty minutes, during
which the dawn came on, and I saw
through the twilight hungry wolf stink
away into the farther wilds. He had
eaten the whole pack

The Coal SunnlY.

In O volume on the coal mines of the
western coast of the United States, Mr..
w. A. Goodyear, mining engineer,
makes some remarkable statements.
None of the coal fields Of California,
Oregon and Washington Territory are
in strata lower than the cretaceous, and
this fact lends plausibility to the belief
that the supply of coal from that region
is not likely to be large. But Mr.. Good
years conclusions go much further. He
thinks that the mines of California can
not be relied upon for much more coal.
A similar view is expressed with regard
to the only mines that are worked in
Oregon. Hereafter, it is believed, the
Pacific coast will only be able to obtain
home supply of coal in Washington
Territory and British Columbia. Con
sidering how short has been the period
in which the States of California and
Oregon have been at all occupied by
American settlers, this early exhaustion
of coal is a singular event. 1t may fur
nish new text for the gloomy prophets
who calculate that before A. ID. 5000,
mankind will have to withdraw from the
temperate zones, and crowd around the
equator TO keep warm

A Virginia soldier, shot squarely

Lieutenant Governor Brockmeyer, of
Missouri, says that when he came to this

Thirty years ago he worked in foundry

he had enough to buy a piece of land,
and then he was independent.

LiQuOr Clubs.
cal works,

A result of the enforcement of prohi-
bition in the extensive shoe manufactur-
ing town of Brockton, Mass, has been
the development of a large number Of
clubs, where young and old can meet in
secret and drink intoxicating beverages.
The manner of evading the law is this {:
Several persons sign what purports to
be the constitution and bylaws Of club
organized for social enjoyment Each
member is provided with a ticket, on
which there are numbers ranging from
one to twenty, and also with key, on
the payment of $1.15. The fractional
amount represents what was paid to have
the key made, and the dollar is the in
tiation fee. A ianitor is hired. Mem
bers are allowed to take in friend, and
when drinks are called for the member
has to present his ticket to the janitor,
who punches as many holes in it as will
correspond with the punches consumed.
It might be thought the ianitor was a
barkeeper, but that is not his title in the
club. All the tickets are called in once
a week. and then there is a general set
tlement. Each member is assessed in
proportion to what he gets. 1t is virtu-
ally means by which bar can be kept
and barkeeper paid for his services.
Some of the club rooms have been
fitted up very handsomely. Many young
men have been induced to join these
clubs, and consequently to drink liquor,
who would probably never have done the
latter under other circumstances.

An Aneedote of Mehemet Ali.

A former companion of Mehemet Ali,
he Turkish commander in Bulgaria, re-
lates an amusing anecdote OF him during
his schooldays. In the German lesson
each pupil had to recite poem, which
was left to the pupils own choice. Karl
Detroit (the Russian name of Mehemet)
chose the well-known verses "God greet
thee, ancient man, thine ancient pipe in
hand" in which an old soldier tells how
he got his costly meerschaum during the
siege of Belgrade, where he took it from
a Turkish Pasha whom he had killed, and
since then had carried it in his boot in
all his campaigns. And when he was
wounded in the foot, the veteran contin-
ues, "I first felt for my trusty pipe be-
fore / felt my FOOT At this passage,
Karl Detroit, suiting the gesture to the
words, stopped down and drew short
pipe out of his boot, to the great hilarity

THE NATTER OF HIS BANK ACCOUNT.
New YORK, Feb. 2l.-Goy. Tilden has
sent the following communication to
Senator Kernal:
NEW YORK, Feb. 81.
To Hon FrancisEernan, Washington
A telegram ID the associated press pub
lished this mrning states that har-
mOnious agreement has been brought
about between the senate committee OF
which you are member and the commit
tee OF the hous, by which 1t has been
decided not to go into an examination OF
my bank account on one hand or the
accounts OF the chairman OF the Republic
can committee On the other. repudiate
any such agreement, and disclam any
such Immunity protection or benefit
from it. | reject utterly the false imputa-
ton that my private bank account con-
tains anything whatever that needs
to be concealed. Under the pretense
of looking tor payment in December, a
demand was made for all payments after
May and all deposits during nine months.
| The bank was repeatedly menaced with
the removal of it, officers and books TO
Washington. a transcript OF the entries
of private business, trusts. charities, con-
tainin" everything but what the commit
tee was commissioned to investigate, but
nothing which il was commissioned to
investigate, because nothing OF that sort
existed, has been taken with my knowl-
edge TO Washington. OF course there is
no item in it relating to anything in
oregon, for 1 never made q purchase or
knew Of an expenditure in relation to the
election in that state or resulting in
controversies or any promise or obliga-
ton or negotiation on the subject.
MIR. Ellis. acting president of the bank,
himself Republican, some time ago
told the chairman of the committee and
several OF its members that there is moth.
ing in the account capable of furthering
any just object of investigation. am
also informed that resolution was
passed to summon me as witness. but
have received no subpoena. l had writ
ten, before this telegram appeared. re-
questing you to say to the committee
that it would be more agreeable to me
not to visit Washington if the committee
would send subcommittee, or hold a
session here, but that otherwise | should
attend under the subpoena.
AS to this arrangement now reported
have only to say that / can accept de-
corum and decency, but not a fictitious
equivalent for a mantle of secrecy tC
any body else. S. j. TILDEN.
