HUNTING GEuIAFFES.

Girsdfes, il not hard pressed do not go
at any very great pace, so that before long
we we're within 100 yards of them. Even
in the ardor of the chase, it struck me as
glorious sight to see these huge beasts DASH
ing along in 'front.' Gathering over the
stones or bursting passage through oppos-
ing bushes, their long graceful necks
stretched forward, sometimes bent almost
to the ground to avoid horizontal branches
and their bushy black tails twisted up.
And how easily and with how little exertion
they seemed to get over the ground with
that long sweeping stride of theirs. Yet
they we're going at great rate, for I felt
that my old nag was doing his best and I
.-ould not now lessen the distance be-
tive "a nSb by an inch. I now saw that D.
was Lout to make push, and, as the horse
he was riss ling was pretty FAST I knew that
be would pr rs them into much quicker
pace and leave NE behind altogether; SO,

flogging, would allow, fred at large
dark-colored COW that lookt d, to me, in good
condition. The bullet clappeI loudly, and
I saw her stagger, but, recovering imme-
diately. she went on, though slightlST IN Inc
rear Of the troop. At this moment my
friend jumped off close behind them, aiNl
gave another COW q shot. l was now
long way behind, but my horse, though
slow, possessed good staying powers; so
that, BY dint of keeping on at hard gal
lcp and cutting angles when could,
again crept up and gave my COW another
shot, quickly followed by third, which
broughtsh her to the ground with crash.
She was not yet dead, however, for as !
approached, she reared her lofty head once
more, ana gazed reproachfully at me with
ber large, soft, dark eyes. A pang of
rsn,oxse went through me, and for an in
Hlant wished the shots unfred that had

lasaras, following like famished wolves no

LAPL AND.

A French traveller, M. Vandal, who re-
emily visited Northern Sweden to see the
Midnight sun" as it appears on the Gath
a June, gives the following account Of the
oopntry and its people:- a
tIf the Lapps deserve the palm Of ugli-
ness among all the inhabitants of old
Europe, their country is assuredly the
most frightful of our continent. Hororis it's
special characteristic; stony plains succeed
dried up marshes, the soil only shows at
long intervals, covered with blackish
moss, Yet we are crossing forests, but the
firs composing them do not pass three feet
Ia Night The zone of dwarf trees sue
coed that of gigantic frs, like Lapps beside
Soandinavians. Now and then a strip of
cultivated land brings rest to the eye; rye
wheat, ripen in forty days, and beneath an
npsetting sun acquire strange and rapid
development in the north; cornstalks are
often taller than trees. Sometimes few
iowly flowers tinge the hill sides with their
slckly greenery, scarcely tall as grass which
has bust begun to grow. But these fugi.
tive appearances do not last--the desert
begins again. Tumblc-down cabins, in
which the cattle are shut up in winter, oc-
cur here and there on the plains, and only
nd through their ruinous appearance to
the gloomy desolateness of the landscape.
The country, nevertheless, is not without
inhabitants; there are neither towns nor
Xillages, but miserable buildings scattered
along the river side 0he Tornea-elf) appear
~ 8hort intervals. Perched on blocks of
tone, which in winter defend them against
th8 assaults of the snow, they look rather
ike huts affording shelter to a nomad
pQpulation than permanent shelters for the
rtotection of families undera climate the
nost rigid in the world. Broad skates
sfand up against the walls, their purpose
Is tp bear the sledges which were used yes
fafday and will be used again tomorrow.
On the threshold half-naked children gaze
at.us as we pass; their yellow halo throws
IikeBa golden nimbus round their heads.
Sonletimes tall men smoke their pipes
gruyely before their door, all wearing red
hannel Shirts scarlet caps and kind OF
sleeveless vest in coarse woollen stuff,
black or green. Under q sky without light,
ina colorless country, the Firms have a
passion for those bright tints and high
tones of color which nature denies them.
The women wear gowns striped blue and
red and part-colored bodices."
The night of June 9th is celebrated in
Northern Sweden by festival which had
perpetuated itself from pagan times. In
Finland it is preceded by universal open
Dir BATH, taken by persons of both sexes
and all ages, in paradisaic costume. The
day Of the 24th is chosen by young folks
for heir betrothal on Mount Avasaxa, On
the first rising of the sun, hymn is sung
BY women. AS soon as its full disk appears
thereis an explosion of joy, choruses are
sung, long strings of dancers stream along
the sides of the rounded plateau of the
the mountain, and bonfres mix their pale
fires with the suns rays.
