PERILS OF THE CHASE.

A Serious Encounter with large Deer---HOw
the Animal was Finally Dispatched.
Todd county Argus.
About two weeks ago Sherman Sergeant,
of Round Prairie, had very serious en-
counter with large deer. While out hunt
ing he saw large buck and fired at it,
breaking one of its fore legs. He gave
chase, getting an occasional shot until he
had expended the last one of his cartridges,
but failed to hit the deer. When he had
run.the deer about eight miles, and shortly
after he had fired his last shot, he came up
on the animal which was so exhausted that
it lay and looked at him instead of bound
ing away at his approach Mr.. Sergeant
did not know Just what was best to do, but
walked around the deer thinking how nice
~ he could lay it out if he but had another
charge, when all of a sudden it jumped up
and rushed at him with lowered head which
bristled with dangerous horns. Before the
hunter had time to think which way to
dodge the deer struck him about the knees,
and knocked him fiat on the ground and
hurting his gun some distance and burying
it in the snow. In some way he managed
to seize the angry brute and trip it up, when
he held on to the horns like grim death.
He drew his jack knife as soon as he could
and made thrust but the tough hide
caused the rivet to break and the large blade
flew beyond his reach. and the small blade
also came out of the handle. Mr. Sergeant
had considerable trouble to keep the deer
down, which he did by keeping control OF
the uniniured fore leg. Finding that some
thing must be done he seized the little blade
of the knife and industriously bored away
at the tough hide on the old bucks throat
avoiding the thrusts of the hind feet, the
force of which all old hunters know After
considerable boring and some fierce strug
Cling he managed to cut the large vein wher
the deer soon died, but the hunter kept hi
hold till the deer was stone dead. Mr.. Sar
geant showed us an ugly wound in his hanG
where one of the deer's sharp prongs hai
torn great gap in the flesh, buthe suffered
no other injury

COurtship and Medicine.

Miss Mary Flynn was studying medicine
and being caurted at the same time. Mr..
William Budd was attending to the latter
part of the business. One evening while
they were sitting together in the parlor, Mr..
Budd was thinking how he should manage
to propose. Miss Flynn was explaining
certain physiological facts to him.

of people are actually ignorant that they

"And Aunt Mary wouldn't believe when

Then he tried it, and while he held her
hand she explained to him about the mus

SIT is remarkable how much you know
about those things" said Mr.. Budd-"real-
| ly wonderful. Now, for example, what is
the back of the head calledp"
''Why, the occipital bone of course"
And what are the names of the mucles
Of the arm?"
"The spiralis and the intra- spiralis among
| others"
"Wel now, let me show you what I
mean. When putmy intra- spiralis around
your waist, SO, is it your occipital bone that
rests upon my shoulder blade in this way?"
''My back hair, primarily, but the occipi-
tai bone of course, afterward. But o, Mr..
Budd, suppose pa should come in and see

"Let him come! Who cares?" said Mr..
Budd, boldly. Think I II exercise spihnc-

Mr. Budd, how can your" said Miss
Flynn, after he had performed the feat.

he said, drawing her closer. ''You accept

family.
"What, darling?"

LONGING.

Of all myriad moods of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was e'er 50 dear 80 kind,
So beautiful as longing?
The thing we long for, that we are
For one transcendant moment,
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment
Still through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal
And longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real
To let the new life in, we know
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be 80
Helps make the soul immortal
Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will;
With our poor earthward striving,
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living
But would we learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronglng,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing.
All let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread his ways,
But when the spirit beckons.
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond satisfaction.
When we are simply good in thought,
How e'er we fail in action.

Gen. Grants Financial Condition.
From the Phil. Times.

from the KILL 1lules.
The wagon load of rich men are getting
together again to raise quarter million Of
dollars for General Grant. They have an
undoubted right to do this, and it speaks
well for Vanderbilt, Childs, Drexel, the
bonanza people and others that they are
willing to do it. But they have no right to
give tie impression to the country that
Grant is in needy circumstances, for he is
not He has only himself and his wife to
look after. His eldest son is a colonel in
the army, with rich wife. His only
daughter has more than competence with
her english husband. His two younger
sons are married to wives whose fathers are
worth millions Of dollars. General Grants
own fortune cannot be much less than two
hundred thousand dollars. This ought to
be enough to keep him becomingly for the
rest of his days. Still the rich men have a
right to increase his fortune if they desire;
only let them not give out the report that
GIANT is poor for the purpose of exalting
themselves.

guidance of it, or insult him by takingit in
to our own hands; and what is true of the
Deity is equally true ofhis revelation. We
use it most reverently when most habitually;
our insolence is in ever acting without rev.
erence to it; our honoring of it is in its uni
versal application. God appoints to every
one of His creatures separate mission;
and if they discharge it honorably, if they
aquit themselves like men and faithfully
follow the light which is in them, Withdraw
ing from it all cold and quenchless inau-
ence, there will assuredly come of it such
burning as, according to disappointed mode
and measure, shall shine before men, and
be of service constant and holy. Degrees
of infinite lustre there must always be, but
the weakest among us has gift, however
seemingly trivial, which is peculiar
to him, and which worthily used, will be a
gift also to his race forever. Says George
Herbert;
For all may have,
If they choose, glorious life or grave.

The Nobility OF Life.

There is no action so slight nor so mean
but it may be done to great purpose, and
ennobled therefore; nor is any purpose SO
great but that slight actions may help it,
and may be so done as to help itmuch, most
especially that chief of all purposes-the
pleasing of God. We treat God with irrev-
erence by banishing him from our hearts,
not by referring to His viii upon small &C.
casions. His is not the finite authority Of
intelligence which cannot be troubled with
small things, There is nothing SO small
but that we may honor God by asking His

A Person Who Swallows Coin
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

Saturday evening five men met in an
oyster saloon, corner Suffer and Dupont
streets. One of them named Alberge pro-
posed an oyster supper for the five and laid
q ten dollar gold piece on the counter, say
ing that this would be enough for the five
to eat upon. Francois, Frenchman, who
was standing back of Alberge, reached ovel
his shoulder, took the ten dollar piece and
swallowed it, remarking that it was barely
enough for one to eat. All five turned
around and believing it a slight Of hand

to go through his pockets if he did not re-
turn the gold piece. FRANCHISE objected
that it was impossible for him to return it
as he had swallowed it and, to convince
them of the feasibility of the thing, he bel

cent piece, and SO he did, to the grea'

Rock-a-by baby upon the tree top
When the wind blows-confound it do stop.
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,

When the bow brakes the cradle will fall,
By thunder you young 'un do nothing but squall'
Now baby go-by, go hush-i-ty--hush;

GRANT F4IRLY IN TIE FIELD.

The Chicago Tribune and one or two other
papers have, for long time, been endeavor-
ing to start an excitement in favor of the
claims of Elihu B. Washburne for Presi-
dent. A few prominent politicians at first
espoused his cause, but they have nearly all
deserted his standard already, and the Tri-
bnue is obliged to confess that he can at best
be considered only dark horse in the race.
with positive declaration that under no cir
cumstances can he accept the nomination,
but will use all his influence in favor of
Gen. Grant, whom he regards as the best
and strongest candidate of the party, and
who, if renominated, he thinks will without
doubt be elected.
Coming from such source-the most in
innate friend and in fact the creator of
Grant-the information implied in this de-
claration ought to be conclusive. 1t indi-
Gates positively that Grant will not only &C
cept the nomination, but that he will leave
nothing undone which may lead to his Sc
curing it. MIR. Washburne no doubt speaks
knowingly on the subject, for he above all
others in the country has enjoyed his conf
dence and is converssnt with his plans and
his ambitions. He expects to carry az the
Northern States and few at the South, in
Guiding South Carolina, North Carolina and
Florida, and thus walk once more into the
White House, there to remain till his dying
day. But it is possible he may be reckoning
without his host, for there are great many
men who will hesitate long before setting at
defiance the unwritten law of the land by
voting for third Presidential term. The
candidacy of Conkling and Blaine, too, is
becoming formidable, and both of them are
likely to interfere somewhat with the carry
ing out of the plans of the GRANTEES.

day afternoon and evening. In spite of the
snow storm there were quite number of
ladies present, but the gentlemen did not
respond as usual to the invitation extended
for tea, which they may regret, for the
hostess transgressed the rules made by the
society to have 80 much and no more, and
had considerable more. The ladies had
some very pretty articles of fancy work and
other articles of more useful character on
exhibition as specimens of their handiwork.

listening to vocal and instrumental music,
and enjoying social time generally.
