A Fight With a Grizzly.

An adventure, in which Mr.. Jameson,
young Irish baron, and bear were
the sole participants, is worth relating.
One night, while bivouaeked on Cas-
cade creek, east of the Muscleshell,
well-defined tracks were left about the
camp, indicating that while the party
peacefully slept the premises had been
invaded by huge grizzly. The follow
ing morning, while breakfast was pre-
pairing, the young Irishman, armed with
his trusty rifle. started down the creek,
trailing the beast half mile to a point
leading into a thicket of underbrush
skirting to considerable width the
stream on both sides. Making slight
detour, Jameson pushed his way cauti-
ously into the thicket, the slight noise
of his carefully picked footsteps being
muff1ed by the rollicking waters leaping
and tumbling over successive falls.
Hating suddenly and parting the
bushes, the intrepid hunter espied his
game leisurely at rest, scarcely thirty
yards away. He concluded the bear
was his, and with steady aim at vital
parts, sent two bullets in rapid success
sion into the broadly presented side of
the beast. There was fierce growl,
and the wounded animal. parting the
Dt uo1 elAo CdPlAASc AAAO bln Sbtlihos
pushed vigorously toward his assailant.
Unable to get another unobstructed
shot, and understanding his peril,
Jameson, with great presence of mind,
quickly retreated toward the creek, the
bear pursuing and close at his heels
There was no time to halt or turn
aside, and reaching the bank the hustled
sportsman, holding aloft his rifle, leaped
for the water, landing in a pool to the
depth of his armpits- A moment later
and the enraged brute, bursting through
the willows and saplings, confronted
him on the margin of the brook.
Jameson, prepared for his enemy, with
promptness and precision put two more
shots into the great beast, who, in the
very act OF taking to the water after
his prey, tumbled to the ground, dead.
Jameson, scrambling out Of his unpre-
meditated bath, returned to camp, in
tercepting on the way two of his COM
rades summoned by the report of his
rifle, and Fastening to his aid. After
breakfast, team was hiJched up. and
strapped to poles, the huge carcass of
bruin was hauled up to the camp and
| skinned. The heft OF this monster was
placed at 1000 pounds, and the pelt, ex-
| hibited to number of men esteemed to
be good judges in such matters, more
than sustained the estimated weight of
| the beast. Helena (Mo7stana) Herald.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ouray.

The Washington Post thus describes
the famous Ute chief Ouray and his
wife Chipepa, or Mrs. Ouray: She is a
large, squatty woman, about forty-fVe
years old, with broad, fiat features, a
large round head and long black hair
parted in the center and thrown care
lessly at either side, almost concealing
her features. Her form was enveloped
in the folds of large black and gray
woolen shawl, concealing her attire, the
only part of which visible was a pair of
handsomely worked buckskin leggings.
Arctic rubbers covered her feet, which
were cased in buckskin moccasins
Ouray, who is fifty years old, is in ap-
pearance very much like his squaw, ex-
cept that his hair was plated and rested
on his shoulders. He had adark blanket
thrown around him, concealing white
calico shirt with red figures, and black
cloth vest, and wore overshoes and dec
GRATED blue flannel leggings. His head
was covered with large broad brim
light slouch hat. He carried bundle
of wrappings strapped together, and
took his place beside Chipens, at the
head of the ten other Utes.a The latter,
with one exception, were wrapped in
blankets, but their costumes could be
seen as half civilized. All wore calico
or vari-colored flannel shirts. in which
were worked beads, quills and other or
naments. Some were shod in army
brogans, and with one or two exceptions
had on slouch hats. Shells, buttons and
other bright ornaments were studd ed in
their hair

Rio de Janeiro Railways.

The street railways of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, the government tax upon which
caused violent outbreak in that city,
have had a somewhat curious history.
Established by an American company
about fifteen years ago, during the Para
guayan war, their first appearance hap
pened to coincide with that of the treas
ury bonds with which the government
attempted to relieve its financial em-
barrassmen ents; and from this circum-
stance the cars took the name Of
bonds" by which they are universally
known. The company gradually ex-
tended its operations till in 1879 its cars
made $50 round trips daily. with a
radius of five or six miles beyond the
town. From Rio de Janeiro they spread
to Bahia, Pernambuco and other great
seaports, their tickets actually passing
current as money. and being used as
such by all the stores and public offices.
The cars are ac-simile of the ordinary
American street car, and are drawn by
mules. Most of the conductors are men
of color.

A RIacier in Colorado.

A gentleman who has duriRg the past
two years traversed the mount aims in
the vicinity of Leadville, and pene-
trated almost every one of the secret
recesscs, informed a Herald reporter
that there is within twenty-five miles
of this city one of the most interesting
curiosities of nature-a veritable gla-
cier, presenting all the characteristics
of the glaciers of Switzerland, both in
magnitude and motion, its progress be-
ing gradually down the gulch- The
scene of this curiosity is located III the
Mosquito range. about fifteen miles
north of the pass. Our informant states
that he first discovered it about three
years ago, while out on a prospecting
tour. 1t was then nearly q mile in
length, and at the bottom of the guich
presented sheer precipice of ice not
less than $50 feet in height. Later in
the season the place was visited again,
when it was found that the great mass
of ice had melted until at its face it was
not more than 100 feet high, the loss
from the surface reducing its length to
about halt mile. Again. early the iel-
lowing year, the place was visited, and
the glacier was found to have regained
its bulk, showing that the accumulation
of ice and snow during the winter was
about one-third its gross bulk. The
rocks on the sides of this immense mass
of ice show the marks Of attritien,
proving beyond all controversy that
the glacier is in motion. Indeed. the
earth at the foot OF the glacier, heaved
up in great masses, shows that it is
gradually moving down into the valley.
During the summer large stream of
water flows from the face of the icy
cliff. Our informant is of the opinion
that the glacier as it progressed out of
the deep gorge in which it was first
formed viii slowly melt away, and that
it willnot last many years. 1t is out Of
the way Of ordinary travel, and the
route to the scene is exceedingly diff
cult, so that it is not likely to be visited
except by prospectors and hunters

One of the most remarkable eases Of

ness for dogs He had frequently been
bitten, but had never experienced any
nervousness as to the consequences.
About six months ago he was playing
with neighbor's dog, and the latter
in sport made snap at Dunne's leg, in
flicting slight wound. No attention
was paid to the injury. The wound
healed quickly, and the whole affair was
soon forgotten.
Dunno retired to rest as usual on a
recent Wednesday evening, aPparently

two O'Clock. when he was awakened BY
a burning sensation and general feel

finally compelled to 60 into the room Of
his cousin, DIR. Dunno. the city physician
of Chicago, who resided in the same

of getting dose of medicine to relievs

Press Censorship in Russia.

Again the Tifis journal, O6zOr, has
leone to grief" For five years the edit
or, nj. Nicholadze, has waged warfare with
the censor, and three parts of that time
his journal has been in a suppressed con-
dition. In 1875 Nicoladze, who had
made a mark as contributor to the GOlOs,
went to Tiflis with the express purpose
of fighting there the battle of the Rus
sian provincial press. Between the lat
ter and the newspapers of the two caDi-
tails a marked difference exists. The
GOtOs, Moscow Gazette, and other large
newspapers of st. Petersburg and Mos
COW are allowed to publish their news
and articles without previously submit
ting them to the censor, while the
provincial sheets cannot print advertise
ments, let alone paragraphs, without OBJ
tanning first the sanction of the local
press authorities BY law, the proof of
a leading article, after being corrected in
red ink by the censor, has to be submit
ted again to that functionary before it
can be published, and, as Russian CEN
sors are usually as deficient of energy
as Government officials in our own
country, an article sent in on Monday
and corrected on Wednesday can hardly
be issued, if it contains alterations, be-
fore the following week. If town has
no censor, the police master or some
official supervises the local press, read
ing carefully everything, from the puff
of somebody's pills to the official an
nouncements copied from the Govern
ment gazettes. Nicoladze made it his
practice to publish the shreds of the ar
ticles expurgated by the censor, without
taking the trouble TO fill in the gap with
fresh words. When he had sufficiently
stimulated public opinion against the
censor by this practice he openly dis
credited him 10y inserting the articles
with the expurgations, which showed
how ridiculous the provincial censors act
in erasing words and sentences having
nothing illegal or obnoxious in them.
This led to repeated suppressions, and
at last to trial, which lasted two years,
and resulted in the Supreme Court at
Tiflis finding verdict in Nicoladze's fa-
vor. Since then he has been elected
municipal councillor, and was one of the
members who recently lmpeached the
Governor of Tifis of malpractices.

THE QUAKER LADY's DREAM.
BY EDNA.

III tell you a story which is nothing more,
dare to presume, than you've heard before;
But II you have heard IL tits no matter, then
Twill not take you long to hear 1t again;
good Quaker lady, of heavenly mind,
Was, nevertheless, TO smoking inclined;
And, AZ she grew older, and every day better,
This troublesome practice did her more enfetter.
This lady was thoughtful and very discreet,
And her meditation of heaven was sweet
But, strange, as she grew more happy In grace,
The pipe grew more firmly attached TO her face.
One night being weary, not able to sleep,
Her meditation grew solemn and deep.
She says: Sim not well a solace need;
I'll sit up in bed and puff at the weed"
With smoke curling gracefully Dove her nightcap
Soon the old lady fell into nap.
She dreamed she had trod the road narrow ano
strait,
And now she beheld the heavenly gate
She thought that she said to the angel In white
" Please, sir, let me in you'll find II all right
Yes, said the angel, with the ktndest OF !ook,
L will, when find your name In the book"
The angel came back with sorrowful face;
Your name IL not there; I've looked III Will
place."
She says sLook again, am sure II is there;
Ny life has been one of faith, hope and prayer"
Again, with much patience, the angel did look;
Again could not find her name in the book.
The lady grew frantic, sob, am deceived1
DO look once again tbs there believe"
Again came the angel, and smiled as he spoke:
"pve found IL at last, all covered with SMOKE
The good lady awoke, and I've heard IL SAID,
She ever after quit smoking in bed.
And better 'twould be for each slave OF the weed,
If, like the lady, in time they'd take heed.

There is nothing like presence OF mind

gentleman entered fashionable New
York club, bearing splendid ivory

man, who was mourning the abstraction
of just such an article, jumped up.
"Will you allow me to look at that ?"
he said, sternly. Certainly" re-
