PEAT MEN AND WOMEN.

The lives OF these peat men and
women in Shetland, are simple and un-
eventful enough. The chain is a
very short one and the links are not
scattered. They 60 forth to their daily
work and return to their daily rest. and
have no thoughts or ambitions beyond.
Their aspect is picturesque. They are of
oil ages, Rome young, others bending
under the weight Of years. There they
90, one after another. with their baskets,
or kishies, as they are called. fastened
upon the back by means of a strap over
each shoulder, rising above their heads.
and piled up with squares of black peat.
This naturally gives them q STOPPING
position, suggestive of hard work and
feminine weakness, that quickly appeals
to the sympathies. Many of them wear
shoes made OF cowhide, strong and cheap,
perhaps, but without form, and with
small pretentions 10 neatnass and clean
liness. And these they often "savs" by
carrying them in their hands.
Many, too, are without stockings, and
they trudge along bare-footed and bare
legged, and only look in consequence the
more poverty y-stricken. Their petticoats
are short. and generally Of some dark,
coarse material. with the color of which
the peat getting sufficiently harmonizes.
Upon their heads they wear the inevita-
bic kerchief of thick Shetland wool, gen.
orally gray, but sometimes red. Their
faces are sunburned and weather beaten.
Those Of the old women are often
strangely and wonderfully wrinkled,
which, with their bent attitude, gives
them look of extreme age, and almost
decrepitude. The youpg.r women are
many OF them handsome: saw q few
really beautiful faces. As they go along

acteristic style of hugging. the desperate
Indian struggling to draw his knife from
bis belt. Meshoo laughingly said to the
reporter, II tell you, my son, the hug
that bear gave me was the worst ever
had in my life. At first l thought my
very ribs we're broken. and l felt as II
my entire body was mashed to a COM
plete jelly. My breath was entirely
taken away. and for moment I was en-
tirely exhausted, but realizing the dss-
pefate nature of my situation, I made q
struggle to free my right arm, and sue
ceeded in drawing my knife. Before
could use it the bear Rugged me again.
but I managed to get small cut in upon
his foreshoulder. The animal released
me and began to snap at me with his
teeth, and he struck me with his fore
paw. One blow feled me to the ground
and almost stunned me into insensibility.
By the time / rose, the bear was upon
me; but l had my knife in time to give
him thrust that made him growl with
anger and howl with pain."
The old man then proceeded to relate
to the reporter the several details of the
fight and its result. The contest lasted
ten minutes, the bear getting in and
knocking his antagonist down, but never
succeeded in getting in hug upon him.
In the meantime, Msehoo used his knife
in savage desperation, though for long
time unable to touch vital part OF the
monster. Finally he managed to stab
the bear in the heart and kill him.
Meehoo now owns forty acres of land,
and lives with his squaw in very prim-
tive cabin. He is an inoffensive old
man now. and continues his daily avo'
cations, molesting no one.

SAN Francisco, June 22.-About S
o'clock last evening horrible tragedy
was enacted at the residence of Edward
Hanrahan, No. 262 Clara street. About
two months ago Hsnrahan, who was in
the wood and coal business with Michael
Sheehan, d ssolved partnership, and the
partners, who had been occupying the
same residence, sought separate estab-
lishm nts. Sueehan then commenced
coming to his late partners house, so
frequently as to arouse the ] alousy OF
Haurahan. Yesterday about 8 o'olook
Hanrahan discovered his wife aud Shee.
han in bed together in his own house.
He ord, rid Sheehan out, but the latter
refused to go. HanrHhan sought the aid
Of an officer, but on his return Sheehan
had left. Last evening on going home
he again found the guilty parties in
hagrante delictu. Going into the yard
he procured an ak and re.ent-ring he
assaulted them savagely. He beat his
wife's head to a jelly with the pole of the
Ak, split Sheehan's skull, broke both
his legs and inflicted three fearful cuts
on bis thigh. Both we're killed on the
spot. The room in which the tragedy
occurred was despatched with blood and
brains, and locked more like shambles
than q human residence. Hanrahan was
arrested shortly after the homicide and
locked up. Sheehan was bricklayor,
aged forty years, and Mrs. Hanrahan
was his cousin, and about forty-five
years old.
