Capture og an EOgIe.

Reported by Mr.. Moulton, of Clarion, Ill.
On Friday a very large eagle,
measuring seven feet three inches
from tip to tip, came down on the
farm of John Billhorn, Esq, and
seized one Of his dogs. His little
girl ran out to rescue her pet, where
upon the eagle released the dog and
pursued and attacked the girl, who
ran screaming from the monster, as
sne well might, for the house. Her
mother, hearing the daughters
frantic cries, ran out, and, Selling
pitchfOrk, gave the eagle battle,
and finally, with a welI-directed
blow on his head, brought him to
the ground, and, quickly placing q
cOrn-haSket over him well weighted
with rock, secured him alive. Mr..
Billhorn kindly presented him to
me, and / have him now in nay
grain-house, chained by the leg. He
is truly formidable-looking bird.
His royal ribs consumed for his
breakfast this morning four robins,
one blue-bird and one chicken-iust
taking the bird under one foot and
stripping off all its feathers as clean
as a cook would do for the table, and
then consuming it, bones and all.

The rnevitabIe Tramps

Tramps have begun their
"hegira" South, and it becomes a
serious question "what we are
going to do about it," Must we
feed every rough, hurley fellow who
presents himself at our back doors
and demands his breakfast OF din
ncr. Some of our people, moved
by generous impulse, turn no
hungry man away, worthy or I'M
worthy. Some are imposed on by
specious and plausible tales these
fellows are So ready to relate, and
willingly feed them. Others again
recognize them as professional
scoundrels, communists, barn-burn-
ers and thieves generally, and
drive them away.
The fact is we ought to act in con-
cert about this matter. If they
must be fed the burden must be
more generally distributed. 1t is
too heavy for a few to carry. The
whole tribe, by some mystic sign,
seem to know where they can pro-
cure food, and Invariably resort to
those houses. The question is a
serious one, what must we do with
it? What is our religious duty in
the premises? VIII our Pastors
speak out and give us an expression
Of opinion from Il religious stand
point. This question stands related
to our own worthy poor, whom the
Lord said. "ye have always with
YOU VIII our excellent Mayor
speak from a municipal standpoint
and tell us what to do? VIII any
one give us such an expression OF
opinion as will lead us to concert
of action, and to an intelligent dis
charge of our duty. What dispo-
. sitiOn are we to make Of the inevi-
table tramp? The question is open
for discussion. MEMO.

Z Looking in, he was surprised to
see the tablecloth spread all over the
floor, never having before seen a
carpet, except the one of bearskin
which he had used on his cabin
floor in the woods. Not knowing
what the carpet was, and seeing no
way to get to the fireplace except
by crossing what he believed to be
the tablecl0th, Col. Crockett, in full
view of the other guests, cautiously
looked this way and that to see if
there was any chance except by
crossing.
At last he muttered to himself,
"WhO in the deuce is afraid ?" He
crept around the carpet till the fire.
place was reached.
Before supper was announced Col.
Irwin and the "boys" had a high
old time listening to Davy's bar
stories. Now, he had never been at
a banquet before, and after the
guests were seated ut the table, a
negro waiting boy came up to the
back of his chair, and asked if he
would have tea or coffee. Crockett
replied, "COffee, though | have
plenty of sasparilla at home" Up
stepped the boy with the coffee on a
waiter. Crockett insisted not only
on taking the coffee but the waiter
also, and so he and the boy had it
lively for a while.
Crockett was an Old Line Wing,
and in his first race for Congress
from Tennessee, clicked" Colonel
Hunt, Democrat, awfully, beating
him by a tremendous majority.
While a member of that body,
and to his daughter, who wrote,
asking his advice about accepting
the hand of young man in mar
Eiage, he addressed the famous eX-
preston "First be sure you're
right, then go ahead" And she
did, to her satisfaction.
Years rolled on, and Crockett,
Isingularly enough, came to Texas,
as Gen. Houston did, in time to
| take part in the great struggle of
! 1886 against Santa Anna and the
Mexican power.
! While Houston was appointed to
command the Texan army, Crockett
went to Antonio, and offered his
services to Col. Travis, command
ing the Inflated garrison of the cele-
brated Alamo fortress. Heperished
with its defenders, all of whom
were put to the sword by the Mexi-
cans. CrOckett's body was found in
a corner of the fortress surrounded
/ by number of the enemy. His
name is embalmed in Texas history
as one of Travis's immortal band.

DAVN CROCKETT.
Some Anecdotes of that Historical
Parsonage.

Mr.. Asa Jarman, of Houston,
Texas, has been interviewed respect
ing DaVy Crockett, with whom he
was acquainted in bOyhOOd, having
known him in Tennessee, of which
State both were natives.
Up to the age OF eighteen (said
Mr.. Jarman) Crockett was unable
to read or write, and his bOyhOOd
was passed in the solitude of the
wilderness, hunting bears and rae
COINS, which was his sole Occupa-
ton and delight. Removing into
/ West Tennessee at time when 1t
was a wilderness, untenanted ave
by Bruin and the wild beast, the
young David found an ample field
( for the pursuit of a NimrOd-like lite.
Locating on a small river, The
/ forest along whose banks had never
known an axe. he built a lOg-cabin,
and carpeted his floor with bear
skins. He was now happy, with
none to modest him, as with gun
4 the old-Gshioned tiint-lOck-and
( dogs-Daniel Boone like-he sailed
/ forth to catch or kill his tavOritt
! coon or savage bear.
The youthful pioneer was not
/ long to remain undisturbed, for the
/ country soon settled up, the wilder
( ness was taken possession of by the
emigrant and the adventurer, the
country was laid off into counties
and DaVy Crockett's occupation
was partly gone.
+ In course of time Crockett was
/ elected by his fellOw-citiZens to the
Legislature at Nashville. 70 such
! a man as he, who had spent his life
among the wild scenes of the Dor
! der, beyond the pale of civilization
] getting into the Legislature was {
I considerable event, and many anec'
dotes are related by Mr.. Jarman OF
Crockett during his first entrance or
j public life.
1t was during his first session as &
Legislator" that Davy met Will
Sames X. Polk, afterward President
of the United States, but then only
an unnoticed young lawyer. Boil
happened one day to be standing il
crowd of members. Polk re
marked that bill would be imme
diatply introduced to alter the judi
ciary. Crockett, who did not know
what the deuce the word Judiciary
meant, briefly replied, II s'pose SO,
and to cover up his Ignorance hasti
ly slipped away from the crowd.
Some time after he got to Nash
vile, never having been in a tOWT
before, Colonel Crockett became The
hero of another experience, which
afterward, when a member of Con
greSS, he was fond of relating to hi
friends. He was invited to pay ;
visit to a billiard saloon, the best il
Nashville. He had never hearC
much of billiards, and had neve
( seen them played. Arriving at thu
saloon, his curiosity was greatly eX
cited at seeing some men with Ions
sticks showing and punching a
pretty red and white balls. Thu
backwoodsman keenly watched thu
men as they pOked and hit the balls
which would roll off into thei
proper receptacles. He left highly
pleased.

that Crockett was invited to q splen

In the fishing hamlet of Amagan-
Sctt, near MOntank point, Long

sharp lookout is kept tor whales and
menhaden. Menhuden are used by
the farmers for manure on their
land, while whales, which appear
only about once a year, make money
