DANCE or REATM.
A Human Skull Fitting IIither and
Thffher Along the Prairie
Lcbeyenne Leader.

The readers of the Leader will re-
member that some time ago the skull
of road agent, brought to this city
by Boone May, was carried to the out
skirts Of the town and buried. The
grinning features Of the outlaw hare
rested in peace since then, aid the
transaction had passed from the mems
Dry Of the people to give place to 9th
er and more pleasing scenes and inci-
tents peculiar to western life The
matter has again been revived in a
Still more gnastly and hideons man
ner. Like the ghost Of Banqno, that
skull will not down at the bidding of
the grave digger's spade The partic-
ulars are as follows: 4 gentleman
by the name of Clark, an employee at
g. p. Goldacker's establishment, while
out taking walk on Sunday morn
ing last, happened to be travelling in
the vicinity where the skull was bur
led Although no coward, it is ad-
mitted by Mr. CLARK that when he
saw the skull Of that road agent
dancing along and bobbing up and
down amoag the cactus bushes on the
prairie, his hair stood on end, like the
quilts Of a fretful porcupiEe. Cold
|ehills coursed their way from the
crown of his head to the soIes Of his
feet, but he didn't bulge an inch. He
stood statue-like and gazei with
amazement upon the ghastly scene.
Like Artenus Ward, he was not
frightened, but-simply embarrassed
little The skull danced around and
gradually approached him nearer,
nearer, nearer, until the spectre was
almost within his reash-"c close by bis
side, plain and palpabIen This was
too much, and Mr. Clark retreated
about twenty steps. The skull con-
tinued its dance of death, Mr.. Clark
looking on with deep interest and in
tense anazement. Presently the mys-
terry was unraveled As the skull
danced along it nearcd small town
Of prairie dogs, and suddenly stopped.
Then emerged apparently from the
skull huge prairie dog, which set up
a loud chatterine. and fifteen or TWEEN
ty lively little companions joined him
in his noisy demonstrations And
then the miachevous little fellows
proceeded to roll aad tumble the skull
about and jowl it to the ground as if
it were the skull Of Cain, and did the
first murder. The mystery was ex
planned, The skull danced over the
prairie simply because an Innocent
and unsuspecting prairie dog had in
serted his head in an apertnre OF the
skull, was unable to extricate himself,
aud was jumping around, endeavor-
ing 20 free himself from his unfortu-
nate predicament. What the next
chapter will be in the history Of that
road agents skull is difficult even to
imagine.

The Hood Family. New Orieaus Democrat

MT. Theodore Lilienthal, the photog- rapher No. 121 Canal street, has sent off to the north and west large number of his pictures of the Hood family, to be sold for the benefit of the orphans. Many of those who have seen and ad- mired this really artistic picture have expressed desire to know the names of the children, and we have taken the trouble to ascertain them, both for the benefit of those who now own or may hereafter purchase copies of picture which possesses so much interest, not alone for the people of the South, for whom Hood fought with dashing gal lantry and horoic devotion, but for all those whose hearts have been touched by the double and awful calamity which befell these little children when their parents were both suddenly taken away from them. The two little grls on the left are Odile Musson and Ida Richard son, twins, three years old. Odile is on the extreme left in the act of trundling a dolls carriage, while Ida is seated near with the doll in her arms. Little Ida looks pale and like an invalid, having only recently recovered from the fever when her picture was taken. The third from the left is Duncan Norbert, seven years old. and next him stands with one hand on Duncan's shoulder, John Bell, Jr., eight years old. Both of these boys have bright, beautiful faces. the latterre- sembling his father. Next to John Belt sits cunning little Oswald, thirteen months old, whose chubby bare legs and arms many childless mother wifi long to dimple with kisses. Next, and in the order in which they are named, are Ethel Genevieve and Annabel, twins, nine years old, in whose sweet faces the features of the mother are plainly dis cerned.
 Next, and in the order of naming, are Lillian Maria and Marian Maud, twins, six years old.
 In front of the group, and reclining on miniature sofa, is the little baby, fast asleep, Anna Gertrude, only two months old. A vacant chair on the ex- treme right speaks eloquently but sadly of the missing Lydia, the sweet girl, the eldest of all the children, who, taken sick just before her father, died few hours after he had ceased to be-

Starvation in the Artic Seas.

A letter from F.. F. Nye, bark Mount Wollaston, off Cape Lisburne, Artic ocean, written to the New Bedfore Sand ard, and dated August ?, says:
 This season, up to the present time, has been q successful one. Fifty-one whales have been taken by the fleet, against thirty-two at the same time last year, and the whales have run large, av araging ebout 100 barrels of oil, and say S0,000 pounds of whalebone in all; also about II ,000 walruses, against 12,000 last year, the walrlIses making less oil than usual, as fewer females were killed, and larger proportion of male walruses than in years past. Not a whale has been taken in the strait or the Artic ocean, and only one whale has been seen, and that by the Helen Mar. Four ships and several brigs and schooners got to the east ward and missed the chance. A great many whales were seen, and more than usual were struck and lost. The Mar struck fifteen and lost seven; the Progress five and saved two. Not a whale has been taken by the natives of the whole coast, and the whaling party, with their rocketgun which wintered in Plover bay, got nothing. The natives on Diomede islands report seeing large num- bers of whales going north in May and early in June last, east of the islands, and they struck over to Cape Thompson and and Point Hope, where the natives took five lone 100-barrel whale. one of about forty barrels and three small ones, with out whalebonel There is more ice, and further south, this year than usual Ships have been in 69.40 deg; yester- day four or five ships were thirty-tive miles east of Cape Lisburne, stopped by the ice. Capt. Tom Williams started four days ago with his little steamer, the Bouquet, to reach Wainwright Inlet, Point Belcher, or Point Barrow, if possi- ble; he will trace the shore around; his steamer draws only three and half feet of water, and can steam 100 miles q day. The trading vessels have about G. GOO pounds of whalebone and small quantity of ivory, compared with former years; about half the fleet are in this vicinity, the other half are all over to Cape Seege and the western shore, wal rusing, destroying them by the thousand; about II 900 have been taken and 30O00 or 10000 destroyed this year. Another year, or perhaps two years will finish them; there will hardly be one left, and advise all natural history societies and museums to get a speciman while they can. Fully one-third of the population south of St. Lawrence bay perished the past winter for want of food, and half the natives of St. Lawrence island died; in one village of 200 inhabitants all died excepting one man. Moteers took their children to the burying grounds stripped the clothing from their emaciated bodies and then strangled them or let the in- tense cold end their misery. It is heart rending to hear them tell how they suf- fered. Capt. Cogan has taken very few walruscs; he says that for every hundred walruses taken family is starved, and concur in his opinion.

The Old French Pear Trees.
nonntru Gentleman.


 There are few readers who have not heard of the old French pear trees in Yincennes in Indiana, and Cahokia and Kaskaskia in Illinois-those three old French settlements containing aged pear trees supposed to have been planted by the inhabitants more than century and q half ago. It now appears from invesu- gation that most of the original trees are gone, but it appears also. on further ln- auiry, that there are many trees of the second generation scattered along the Wabash and Mississippi river towns, which, from the evidence presented, must have sprung from the originals at Vincennes. kaskaskia or Cahokia. Cas- ually learning that there were some very large pear trees at and in the neighbor- hood of Equality, in Gallatin county, H. linois. I addressed note to Joseph J. Castles of that town, and not only oD- tained an immediate and interesting letter from him, but package of pears by express, a portion of which forward you this day. Mir. Castles letter IS, m substance, that the crop of pears for this vearis nearly exhausted, but that he succeeded in finding the few which he forwarded to me by express. lie says: "I have measured two of these trees and find one 20 inches in diameter, one foot from the ground, with height or fifty feet. The other is g inches in al. ameter at the same place, and is 40 feet high. The spread of limb in both is from 23 to 30 feet; the growth rather upright, perhaps starting away , al the main stemat an angle of 30 deg The lower limbs have more horizontal pc sition. These trees have never been pruned or in any manner cared for, ac- cording to my knowledge and recollec- lion. They have been in this town hity years. Their early history was gwen us many wears ago by several old citizens now dead. Their account was that they were old French pear trees brought rom Vincennes, between which place and the salt works of Equality there was re quent communication fifty years ago.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-11-13

All the trees l have knowledge of grow on the high lands-what you call second bottom-or on ridges Very few have been set out. lately, and they are only found on old l6taand farms. But since all other kinds blight badly in this re- zion, it is probable, if we arc to have pears at all, we shall have to go back to this original stock.'..
 The pears sent were of the same sort, apparently. as those of the old trees along the Detroit river and in few lo- calities along the lower end of Lake Erie and the Niagara river. Some trees bear ing fruit in every respect like this French pear of Illinois, are growing in Chautauqua county, New York, near Lake Erie, and have been, some of them, bearing at least fifty years. They are hardy, never blight. and bear regularly every other year. The fruit is in fair local demand for canning, as the crop can be depended upon. It is not used as a table fruit The tree is invariably prop agated by transplanting suckers, which spring up freely from the roots, the tree resembling plum tree in this respect They have never been pruned.
