BEAR SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.

The Trinity (Cal.) journal relates that
a party of four men recently went on a
bear hunt. Approaching forest the dogs
got scent of Il bear, and were sent into the
forest to drive him out. DR.. Stanley, one
of the party. became impatient, however,
and entered the thicket himself The
heavy underground made progress slow,
but he fought his way ahead until he came
to fallen tree lying in a little gulch.
Helping himself along by the limbs he
arrived at the upper end just in time to be
confronted by huge grizzly bear. Re-
treat was impossible, as it had been with
the utmost difficulty that the doctor had
advanced so far; there was no tree in
convenient distance, and as the grizzly
showed fight, there was nothing left for
him to do but shoot. Taking deliberate
aim with his Henry rifle, the doctor fired.
and the bear fell mortally wounded.
Another load was sprung from the maya
zine into the rifle, and the doctor, looking
toward his prey, was surprised to see a
second bear in the same spot. This he
shot also, and quickly reloading, was yet
more astonished to see third bear in the
same place where he had shot the other
two. Again the lever moved and fresh
charge went into position, and again the
doctor looked up and discovered a fourth
grizzly coming toward him from the same
opening in the brush. Whang went the
gun again, and down went bear No. 4.
TO make sure of his game, the doctor
poured sixteen shots into their carcasses
His companions, hearing the firing, came
TO his assistance. and found him on top of
the largest bear swinging his hat and
shouting Justify. One of the bears was
an immense grizzly, large that the hunt
ers could not handle him, and the other
three were good-sized grizzlies, probably
about two years old. The shooting of
four bears by one man, without ever
changing his position, is something ghither-
to unheard of even in the most highly col
orcd annals of the western wilds.

THE MATCH LINCOLN MADE.

Ii was about wear before the fall of
Richmond. when both North and South
seemed to tering to ruin. and Young lady
who had known Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln for
years, visited Washington. She was an
exceptionally sensible, warm-hearted, re-
fined woman gifted with a marvellous
voice and graceful figure, but she was
very homely. She called at the White
House, and when she had gone with his
wife into private room. Mr.. Lincoln eX-
pressed his surprise TO a friend that some
good man had not been lucky enough to
marry her" Adding:
"L-herself would be much happier
if she were wife and MOTHER
A few moments later Mai. c.. vol
unteer officer, thoroughly respected by the
President, and bachelor, came into the
study. Mr.. Lincoln looked at him thought
fully.
What are you going to do when the
war is over. CO" he asked suddenly.
''Seek my fortune, suppose, was the
startled reply.
There it is in that room" A frank,
girlish laugh was heard at the moment.
mo, you can't go TO seek it now; busi-
ness first. But there it is

of the crowd, was singing, in Il voice of
great beauty and sweetness, some gay
song. The major would have moved for

eyes twinkling with shrewd fun.
wait bit, he said. Don't look at
her face yet .a
Presently she sang ballad with such
pathos that the majors eyes grew dim.
''Now go. She's as good and true as
her song"
The good word of Mr.. Lincoln probably
influenced both parties, In few months
they were married. and the union has
proved most happy one.
II did one wise thing in ''64,' Mr.. Lin
coin said, rubbing his chin, as was his
wont when pleased; II made that match"
