bird. with its strong beak and talons
and propelled by its powerful wings,
made a sudden sweep at him, when he
discharged his gun, portion of the
shot taking effect in one of the wings,
causing it to sheer from its course and
fall to the ground. The taxidormist
ran and seized it, when a desperate
struggle ensued, lasting some little
time. as he was desirous of securing the
bird alive. Finally the eagle was wor-
ried out and he succeeded in fastening
its legs together and then turned his at
tention to the first bird, which was dis
patched. With his gun and the live
and dead eagles, all making a heavy
weight, Mr.. Wright started home. and
had the trophies of his exciting days
sport safely cared for. He is not de-
sirous of repeating the experience, as
the capture Of a slightly wounded eagle
is no pleasant task and attended with
some danger. The live eagle measures
seven feet six inches from tip to tip of
the wings and the dead bird seven feet
five inches. They are about as large
specimens of their species as have ever
been seen in this part of the country

The Men Who We're Not Hanged.

The following story is told in Waite's
Life of Wellington" :" &c got famously
taken in on that OCCASION" said the
duke. "The troops had taken to plum
dering good deal. 1t was necessary
to stop it, and l issued an order an
nouncing that the first man taken in the
act should be hanged upon the spot. One
day jusJ as we were sitting down to din

of the tent by the prevot. The case
against them was clear, and had moth

that occasion, and among the rest, |
think, Lord Nugent. They seemed
dreadtully shocked, and could not eat
their dinner. / didn't like it much my
self, but, rs told them, | had no time
to indulge my feelings; | must do my
duty. Well, the dinner went off rather
grave'y; and next morning, sure
enough, three men in uniform were
seen hanging from the branches of a
tree close to the high road. 1t was
! terrible example, and produced the de-
| sired effect; there was no more plunder-
ing; when, some months afterward, /
learned that one of nay staff took coun-
sci with DR.. Hume, and as three men
had just died in the hospital they hung
them up, and let the three culprits re-
turn to their regiments" " "W eren't you
very angry, dukep" Well, suppose
l was at first, but as l had no wish to
take the poor fellows lives, and as the
example had the desired effect, my
anger soon died out, and l confess to
you that am very glad now that the

A Eight With an Eagle

T. w. Wright, the well-known tax
idermist, had quite a novel experience
on Tuesday, which was not altogether
without danger, but he was so FORUM
ate as to escape injury, and has two
trophies of his skill and prowess as me-
mentoe of the event. Mr.. Wright is q
skillful hunter, and on Tuesday was
seven miles east OF the city, and near
the bank of the Missouri river, on the
lookout for game suitable for preserva-
ton. While thus engaged, partly hidden
from view, large eagle came lowering
in range of his trusty double barrel shot
gun, and he discharged one round,
which brought the noble bird to the
ground. Not wishing to risk breaking
its wings or legs by another shot, or
otherwise disfiguring it for the taxider-
mist's use, he refrained from shooting it
a second time. Throwing his gun down
he ran to the wounded bird, seized it
and was in the act of Sitting its throat
when it gave a scream and Immediately
he felt something strike him quite for
chilly and be fell to the ground. Great
was his surprise when he found that
another eagle, companion bird, at
tracted by the fall and cries of its mate,
had made an attack on him. The eagle
remained ON the ground for few mo-
ments, iuttering around. He struck at
it with stick, when it flew upward.
Mr.. Wright felt assured from its
movements that it was preparing for a
second assault and seized his gun, but
not a moment too soon, for the infuriated

Fish Killed by lightning.

A correspondent of Land and Water
says: A curious incident of the whole
of the occupants of n small fish pond
being destroyed by flash of lightning,
is reported from Seek, grand duchy of
Nassau. The MtsSduer Bote states that
during a very heavy thunder and bail
storm at night time, a flash of lightning
struck n small pond we'll stocked with
various kinds Of tish, the property of the
pastor of the parish, The following
morning the whole of the fish were
discovered dead upon the surface of the
water. They had all the appearance OF
having been half boiled, and crumbled
to pieces at the least touch just as is the
case with fish after being boiled. Neither
any external nor internal injury could
be observed, the scales being intact and
the swimming bladder filled and well
preserved. The water in the pond was
still muddy and dull the morning after
the storm, as if the lightning had only
then struck it.

Bridal Costumes OF Fernando Po.

As with us, the Fernando Po bride is
clad in white-not the gauEy, flowing
robe, However, but a pastering of earthly
paste resembling plaster of paris. She
wears bridal veil, too, composed of
tiny white shells, strung together, and
which covers the face from forehead to
chin, while her plentifully pomatumed
tresses are surmounted with an enor-
nous helmet made of cowhide. The
Fernando Po bridegroom is even more
elaborately decorated. 1t is work of
time as we'll as of art 10 make the young
gentleman ready to take the necessary
VOWS before the two mothers-his own
and his intended's-who act the part OF
priests. Like his bride, he is thickly
plastered over with the white tOlG paste,
and he wears on his head an enormous
disc of fine bamboo plait skewered to
his hair with long pins with blue and
red beads for heads. His marriage
raiment is of strung shells, and 1T being
notorious that the instant young man
commences to make himself ready for
marriage malicious evil spirits are In
close attendance, and on the alert to
baulk his laudable intent, as an antidote
against their malevolence he carries in
his hand the whole time, and never
takes his eyes off, piece of a, yam
shaped like q heart, and in which the
red feather of a parrot is stuck. The
marriage ceremony is the essence OF slih-
