Bacon and Bears.


A farmers wife, says the Virginia
Enterprise, was preparing dinner, in
the absence Of her husband, when the
savory odor Of the bacon was scented
by a couple Of young bears, and enticed
them TO follow the direction from which
it came. They kept the scent until it
drew them even into the house.
The lady of the house secured the
cubs, and her knowledge Of bears led
her to think that these young ones had
strayed from their maternal parent,
which would soon follow the trail and
hunt them up. 1t was but few mo-
ments before the old shc-bear came in
sight, an enormous black brun. The
woman drew down from its rack the
old true, tried and trusty mountain
rifle, that had perhaps served on SINH
lar missions many times before, and
fastening the door, she made a loop
hole of the window and waited the APP
proach of her bearship. She did not
wait long, and fired, the ball taking If
feet, but not proving fatal.
The report OF the rifle drew her labor
ing husband from his work. who, COM
ing near the house, was chased several
hundred yards by the bear. which then
gave up pursuit and returned in quest
Of heryoung. The plucky back-wools-
mans wife had in the meantime re-
loaded the rifle, and with the second
shot the old she.bear was killed. The
cubs, We are told, sold at Independence
for twenty-six dollars, and the skin of
the bear, which was very large, brought
the sum of eight dollars at the same
place.

A Wonderful Cup.

Baron Charles de Rothschild of Frank
fort recently purchased for the enormous
sum of 800, 600 francs (Sl60, 00O) a silver
gilt cup by the celebrated Jamitzer,
which is said to be marvellous work Of
art. This sum, according to the
"Chronique des Arts" is, as far as it
knows, The largest price ever paid in
modern times for a single object Of art.
Tue work is the center piece of a table
service. The foot is composed OF q rock
entirely covered with glasses and field
flowers, on which disport them
selves beetles, little lizards locusts
and snails. From this rises the figure of
q woman. emblematizing the earth and
bending in eloquent pose as the sup
ports on her head, and her hands a tall
chalice, decorated by grotesques and top
ped by a cover, which terminates in a
vase in the form of q baluster, from
which springs a bunch CT leaves and
flowers. The silver gilt Ct which the
cup is made has ornaments in Opaque
and translucent enamels. The god
smithery of the sixteenth century is said
to offer nothing more finished in execu-
ton. and which though open to criti-
cism possibly from the standpoints both

A Ren0rter's Rich Strikes

Says the Philadelphia Rscord: Two
years ago the Western fever took posses
sion of the soul OF William E. Jones, Il
Philadelphia newspaper reporter.
While his mind seemed filled with the
idea of starting out for a wilderness
where he could pitch his lodge and
grow up with the country, his fellow
scribes, KIN wing that his bank account
was not as big as Jay Gould's, and that
the walking was bad and the Indians
at that time were searching for the top
knots of dove-eyed young men, took
turns at him to dissuade him from his
purpose. But their eloquence was
wasted. Jones had broken out bad
with the fever, and 60 he would if his
shoes held together. Finding him fixed
in his purpose, he was referred to Lou
Donnelly, then a Fifth ward statesman
in common councillor Donnelly had
been West looking after his silver mine,
and was regarded as just the right sort
of person to advise a tender young mar
as to how he should conduct himself in
Western society. Donnelly looked at
Jones and saw a good bead OF hair, a
pale face over which a fragile whisker
was struggling, and g form that indlca-
ted he was in no manne related to the
Cardiff giant. =,
eff you will 90 West, Jones, and
want to make your mark, YOU will have
to have your scratch and lick your
nan. AS long as you are in it lick him
good, and your fortune is made" He
didn't look it, butthere was not aequare
itch Of cowardite insthe whole anatomy
of Jones. who. thanking Donnelly for
his consideration. seized his grip-sack
and struck for the railroad depot and
let out. The next time Mr.. Jones was
heard from he was doing service as city
editor Of the Denver Tribune.
Time passed on and nothing further
was learned Of the adventurous and am
bilious reporter until yesterday, when
Mr.. Donnelly returned from the land OF
silver mines and bowie knives. When
questioned about Jones the miner smiled
all over, and remarked: He struck q
bic deal in that advice / gave him, sure.
He had heen in Denver but a short time
when a long-haired knife-swallower
tackled him. 1t was the talk Of the town.
Jones went for that chunk Of humanity
and chawed him right up. The next
day he was made managing editor OF a
Leadville paper. He's a popular man
out that way. Now lie owns a paper OF
his own. And what does he do but
marry q Miss O'Brien, of Lead7ille, o
daughter of one of the wealthiest and
most prominent men of the place."
Indications point to a hegira of Phila-
delphia reporters to the enterprising
West.
