Young calf The alligator was between
the COW and the calf and the river.
The alligator made Dart toward the
calf, when the COW pushed between
them and fearful fight snsned. While
this was raging the calf ran into the
woods and faced abont, bleating plant
lively. The alligator was not more than
seven feet lenr. and struck at the COW
furiously with It's tail. The COW AVOID
ed as many Of the blows as possible,
but received number, enc OF which
knocked her rolling over about ten
feet. The alligator rushed upon her
with open mouth and tried to seize her
by the nose, bat she was up IN time to
horn the alligator under the throat, and
threw it over backwards, aud before it
could strike another blow or defend it.

saurian high in the air, and il fell into

The Aurora BOrealiS.

Herr Esmark, who has spent many
wears in surveying the northern lights,
saws: "The aurora is never seen dur
ing extreme cold or northerly winds,
but appears when an ordinary Arctic
temperature is raised by southerly and
westerly winds, and is generally fol-
lowed by snow. In the southeastern
part of Norway it seems to be especially
caused by southeasterly winds, which
are there very moist and rather warm.
It's appearance is always accompanied
by falling barometer. In my opinion
the phenomenon is due to the following
causes: When q wind laden with
warmth, moisture and electricity comes
in contact with body of cold air, the
moisture is converted into snow, the
warmth and electricity are thereby re.
leased, and the aurora is the result OF
the disturbances. The northern lights
cannot occur in very high ATTITUDES, be-
cause the warm, moist air is cooled long
before it reaches them" In this way
Herr Esmark would account for the
splendid appearance of the aurora in
Northern Norway, where the sea winds,
bringing warmth, moisture and cleo
tricitv from the ocean, are met by cold
land winds from the interior. Messrs.
Lottin, Bravais and Siljerstrom, who
spent a winter at Bosekop, in Asten
latitude 70 degrees north, saw the
northern lights 100 times in 2lO nights

A Bear Fight.

A lively bear fight in the Adirondacks
is described in a letter from Indian
river to the New York Sa, atogian. 1t
occurred at about six miles from that
place, at shanty which is owned by a
number of gentlemen who visit that
region about twice year for the pur-
pose of hunting and fishing. The
party consisted of Mr.. Parker, OF New
York, Mr.. Pulver, two gentlemen from
Conklingville, n. j., and guide named
Bonnie. Returning from their day s
hunt, the two Conkhngville hunters
went back with stretcher for the pur-
pose of fetching deer that had been
killed. Bonnie started from the shanty
to get pail of water, some little dis
tence away. Parker, who is in poor
health, and Pulver were left in charge
of the cabin, and the latter was engaged
in making hot sling for his invalid
friend. All at once Pulver heard his
friend give a fearful scream, and, upon
looking up, found a huge black bear
growing and snarling in the most saw
age manner. The bear advanced toward
Pulver as though to take him in its en-
brace. Pulver, acting upon the impulse
of the moment, dashed the now-boiling
water full in the animals face, at the
same time endeavoring to make his es-
cape to the loft overhead. He had
barely time to reach the top round of
the short ladder when the exasperated
bear caught him 10y the leg and held
him as in wise, decorating his limb
Pulver cried Justify for help. Parker,
nearly frightened to death, caught the
bear by the short tail, and prevented
him from making further advance on
his friend. They now both cried pite

Bob Ingersoll,s War Record.

Col. Ingersoll raised regiment of
cavalry and commanded it, and was as
signed to the Western Department. He
was in the battle of Shiloh, and several
other engagements. On one occasion
he was ordered to guard a ford, with
instructions to delay an advancing army
of the rebels just as long as possible IN
order that our army might make certain
counter-movements. He held his posi-
ton as long as he could do it, but the
enemy came mp in such overwhelming
force that he had no course left but 10
give the order to retreat--every man as
best he could to save himself. 1t was
devil take the hindmost. AS Col. In
gersoll was galloping away with his men
as fast as their horses could get over
the ground, his horse stumbled in a
lane and threw him. Just as he fell
several balls struck the logs near him,
and, on looking up, he saw TWO or three
rebels raising their carbines at him.
With characteristic quickness and pres
ence of mind he shouted at the top of
his voice: Hold on therel Don't
make - fools of yourselvesl I've
been doing nothing else for the last
five minutes but wishing for good
chance to recognize your - -

A Southern officer ordelel the men
to stop, and they all laughed at the un-
known Yankees impudence, and then
they took him prisoner.

The Elective Franchise In Ireland.

In order to enable a few wealthy
Tories to exercise an undue political in
fuence in Ireland, the qualification for
the elective franchise is fixed so high
that not more than one man in eight to
ten is voter; whereas in England, in
the cities and towns, four out OF five
men are allowed to vote. This unjust
discrimination is pointed out by
writer in the London Spectator, from
whose letter we make the following ex-
tract:
When the numbers of electors in
places of equal population in the two
countries are compared, the effect of
the restricted Irish franchise is imme-
diatelY anparent. Thus:

About Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers
has led to an extent Of aduteration and cheap
ening Of material never before known in the
business. Crude rubber has the quality OF alb
sorbiDg or of becoming Incorporated with
very large quantity of cheap and bulky sub
stances like lampblack chalk, ETC., which can
not be detected by the uninitiated, and which
impair the durability of the goods. People
call for low-priced goods, not rejecting that
low prices always mean low quality. The re-
