A DANGER threatens the American
meat transportation. Charles Brabin, a
Liverpool butcher, has been arrested and
fined ten dollars and costs for having on
his premises four hundred weight Of
American beef unfit for human food.
The meat was part Of a consignment by
the steamer Germanie. Brabin bad been
fined twice before, and was this time
warned that for another effense he would
probably be sent 70 prison. This shows
shat great care should be made in ship
ment, otherwise a lasting injury will be
inflicted on what promises 10 be peFma-
nent and ever increasing trade between
this country and England.

How the GaIlas Kill the Black Panther.

now JIo OtillaS hIlI GIle Dlhck ran IueGs
Wonderful stories are told of how the
Gala hunters capture it, for they dare
not meet it face to face with their spears,
and therefore resort to strategy. It Is
said that, when the Gala hunter has dis
covered the haunt of black panther, he
digs a round hole in the ground some
six feet deep, and just large enough for
him to stand upright in. He then gets
into his hole, and, placing his round buf
falO-hide shield on the top of it, so as to
cover him entirely, calls to the panther
in mOcking voice, daring it to come
out of the Jungle where it is concealed.
The panther, who is naturally a very.
passionate beast, on hearing this defiance,
Immediately Tushes out snd tries to get
at the hunter by gnawing at his shield,
which covers the top of the hole where
he is enscOnced; but the Gala holds
tight, and tnen ensues a dialogue, or
rather a mOnOlOgue, for, though the
panther is supposed to understand Gala,
he only answers by grOwls. The hunter
first abuses the panther, and then ridi-
cules it, calling it all sorts of names,
until the unfortunate panther gradually
works itself into such frenzy that it at
last fairly dies with rage, and the hunter,
6UlSIRlu0 lIOIt Ills uOtG3 S6CuI6S It's skill.
In confirmation of this story, the Abys-
sinians declare that when the black pan
ther skins are brought to market they
never have any mark of lance-thrusts
or swerd-cuts upon them, as have the
SKINS of other animals which are killed
in the chase. fancy the truth is that
the panthers are shared by a device
which they often use in Abyssinia for
catching the spotted leopard. A run
ning-noOse is firmly tied to the branch of
a tree, and the branch is then bent down
and attached to a stake in the ground in
such a way that anything moving the
moose will set it free; a kid or piece of
meat is then placed behind the moose,
which is carefully concealed among the
leaves and placed in such way that the
leopard, in springing at its prey, viii
pass through the moose; of course, he
becomes entangled in it; the movement
sets free the branch, which flies up, and
the leopard, instead of eating the poor
little kid (whOse feelings must be sny-
thing but pleasantly, suddenly finds him
self suspended in the air, where his strug-
giles soon cause the Tunning-noose to
tighten round him, and he is easily killed
by the hunters.

LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
Within the Arctic Observation-Disclosures OF
The Norwegian Coast and OF the
People.

The Rochester Union makes the follow
ing extracts from a private letter dated
J at Iromsoe, Norway, July 8:
We steamed into this pretty Arctic
town night before last, and shall make
our home here week longer while a por-
ton OF the party finish their northern
trip around North Cape to Vadsoe. We
crossed the mountains by means of horses
and carriages, using l20 for our ride of 200
miles. The law requires every station
from six to ten miles apart to furnish
travellers with fresh horses within half an
hour of their arrival, We are now two
days into TIE Arctic Circle, and where
we now live the sun shines brightly at
midnight from May 20 to July %.
Even two days before reaching this point
the sun was so sl--L-, II midnight that
the ladies wanted shades. This coast is
perfectly beautiful, OF, should have
said, grand, as well as wonderful. For
nearly 1000 miles the islands are so
thick---sO close tOgether--that it is like
sailing up a river which expands into
lakes. The whole distance is over
shadowed with snow-capped mountains
from 5000 to 5000 feet in height, rising
abruptly from the water, while in the
distance are to be seen those which are
much higher. We were. exposed only
once or twice to the open sea, and then
only two or three hours at a time
The air here is very exhilarating
Yesterday the children picked wild
flowers as we were walking, and within
a few feet made snowballs. It is a
wonder that in so short a season anything
can be grown in this latitude, and yet
grass springs up rapidly, often growing
an inch in "a hours They have but
two seasons really---ten months of winter
and two of summer. Although the
season is so long yet the fords never
freeze, and [ think we often have as
cold weather in New York. The occu-
patton of the place is fishing, mostly
herring and Goldfish All are well TO do;
no rich and no poor. The people are
intelligent, the masses receiving a fair
education. But what a queer place and
what queer customs! From the belfry
of the church between the hours of eight |
at night and six a. NJ man shouts the |
time of night through large tin horn |
at intervals of every half hour. The |
clergymen wear large wide ruffs. We |
have just been to see the Laps, some |
three or four miles from town. They |
were notified the day before, and for a |
small sum spent the whole day among |
the mountains gathering their reindeer,
which they drove down for us to see
some 400 Of them in number. 1t was
such a novel sight to see them coming
down the steep mountains. They will
not live low down, as they eat only rein
deer moss which grows where it is very
cold. Cows will not eat where they have
been as the scent of the little hair they
shed is very offensive to them. We 90

the belief that more independent peo-
pie cannot be found anywhere than in that
State. We hUve travelled great deSi in
what are considered the best portions Of
our country, passing over the famous pra.
ries and residing in the land OF gold, but
we are constrained to pronounce the hills
and wales Of our rough mountain State
as surprising all, in its resources OF COM

visit a little among her fertile hills filled
with the finest coal, and rich valleys to
be convinced that the people OF West
Virginia are the most extravagant livers
to be found in the whole country. Call
Mt the humblest hut and remain 10 the
family meal and you will be absolutely
astonished TO witness the abundance Of
everything placed before you. You are
