We learn from our Pensacola "a.

duck hunting near Pensacola a few
days ago, in skiff, when they were a..

rose to the surface of the water and at,

in time to save himself from the jaws Il
the monster.
A slug was hastily rammed into H
gun barrel, and then fired into the hea1
of the vicious animal, which so crippled
him that he was afterwards easily man
aged. He was then taken to shore and
killed, and found to measure II feet h
length, 5 feet round, and weighed 2l6
pounds. The paper states that this is thp
largest killed in that neighborhood since
the war, and the circumstance is othsz.

in this manner.

The Emperor and the Veteran.
London Telegraph


As the Emperor William, during the
late corps maneuvres in Alsace, was rid
ing through the village of Wolfsheim,
within the new lines of Strasburg for
tress, he noticed an exceptionally fine
looking peasant, with wooden leg, wear
ing upon the breast of his blue linen
blouse the cross of the Legion and sew
eral war medals. The Emperor rode up
to him, and, addressing him in French,
said: "Where did you serve, my friend,
and where did you lose your leg? Draw
ing himself up, and looking the venerable
monarch straight in the face, the peasant
came to the salute, and replied: 'fserved
thirty-four years in the Second Regiment
of Zouaves-fourteen campaigns in AL
giers, the Crimea, Italy, and Mexico lost
my leg at Sedan" "You have, indeed,
seen some service, my fine fellow" re-
joined the Emperor. "So-so, Sire. There
is good soldiers blood in my family. My
father served thirty years under Napoleon
the Great, Il served Napoleon III for
nineteen years, and my eldest boy, who is
now in the Guard Rifles at Berlin, will,
please God, serve the Emperor William
for many years to come" His Majesty,
visibly delighted by the frank and bold
demeanor Of the man, straightway in
quired, "Well, now, can do anything
for you?' Thanks, Sire" replied
the sturdy veteran, ~ get a
liberal invalid pension from Paris,
and earn good deal of money be-
sides by weaving baskets and cutting out
wooden shoes. 1 have got little house
and garden Of my own, and that is quite
enough for me and my old woman as
long as we shall live. We want nothing
more" "You are a rare good fellow"
said the Emperor, saluting his interlocu-
tor as he gathered up his reins, "and it
has been a great pleasure to me to make
your acquaintance" "Many thanks,
Sire; the honor is altogether mine," re-
Joined the gallant Alsatian, still stand
ing rigidly at the salute as the Emperor
rode off with farewell wave of the hand.
His Majesty, it is stated, subsequently
spoke of his conversation with this
valiant and stoutly Independent veteran
as the "pleasantest episode of his visit to
the Reichslaender, although that visit
had been positively replete with agreea-
BILE surprises"

BETTING ON A SURE THING.
A Little Practical Joke That Did N OF
Prove Successful.
[San Francisco Stock Report.1


One Of the frequenters of a brokers' Office
in this city is man who will bet on any
kind of proposition. When he enters
the Office in the morning he meets the
gentlemen present by saying: "Mornin',
boys! Is there anything any of ye want
to bet on this mornin'T' And he hangs
around all day watching for chances to
bet and, if a man ventures an opinion
about the stock market, hints that per-
haps Sierra Nevada may sell for 40 next
week, hewill pounce on him like hawk
on June bug, and offer to bet him a
hundred that it don't sell for hundred
in six years. The other day the boys put
up job on him. They gotta fly, dipped
it's feet in mucilage, and stuck it on
sash-frame in the office.
Of course there's not much for fly to
eat in brokers' Office; but, between ink
and mucilage and the breath of the
clerks, they manage to exc out subsist-
ence. Pretty soon another fly sailed in
through the front door from a restaurant
around the corner and settled down on
the sash near the fly that the boys had
fixed, and in a few minutes the betting
man dropped in, with his usual saluta-
ton about betting After some prelimi-
nary skirmishing about not being on the
gamble, being busted in stocks, and other
little by-plays to make the betting man
think they were not anxious for wager,
one of the boys spoke up and said:
"Pard, I'll tell you what l will do; I'll
bet you that that fly in the corner of that
sash moves before that other fly about six
inches from him does"
The fly in the corner was the fly from
the restaurant, and the other was the fy
with the muciIage on its feet.
otis a whackl' said the betting man.
"Bet you hundred my fly moves first" "
The money was put up, and all eyes
were intently bent on the window.
Pretty soon the mucilage fly made a
struggle to free itself, and succeeded in
dragging itself about half it's length on
the sash-frame.
"My money!" exclaimed the betting
man.
The others did not want to give it up,
as the movement had only been barely
perceptible.
"Do you want to keep me here all day
betting against dead fy!" said the
betting man.
The boys rushed to the window to ex
anime their fly.

An Aunt Sues for Breach -

Among the cases coming up in Part I
of the United States Circuit Court, be.
fore Judge Wallace, this morning, wn
that of Nancy V. Campbell. The plain
tiff demands $40, 900 for her blighted A.
fections, and the singularity of the cass
lies in the fact that she is the aunt of Tho
defendant. She resides in Lockport; tho
nephew and defendant lives in MobiA
Ala, where he has wife and child. Th6
case came up on motion to put over thp
term by plaintiffs counsel, on the ground
that the bail furnished by the defendanA
on being arrested was insufficient. Ths
defense offered to provide bail, and tn
case was ordered to stand over untfl
Thursday to enable them to do SO, whsn
the trial will probably proceed. Ths
facts are said to be very interesting.
