We are not at liberty to mention

occurrence which took place not q

Two young men went hunting Ihe
one had an old-fashioned long -parrel
shot gun, the other new double par
relied breech loader. While enroute Tor
the land of game, the one with the new

quality of his armament and finally
said he would not be afraid to stoop
down with bis back toward him ~ q
distance of fifty yards and let him hre
at him If he would be willing to allow
him to do the same thing. The propo-
s,tion was at once accepted by the man
with the old long gun, and sure epoug6
his bantering companion stepped OH
the distance from where Shey were
standing, placed his hands on his Knees
and called TO his friend to chang away"
The friend followed instructions
promptly, and the way he mutllated
the corduroy limiting trowsers OF that
daring companion with the shot that
were sent from his old gun beats de-
scription. The man with the new gun
occnnied the next ten minutes in per

looked up q farmer with an easy

A,...n. - - Tndlan Tribo.


sAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA des-
patch from Victoria, b. o., says: The
United States revenue cutter Thomas
Corwin, which has arrived from the
north, brings particulars OF the recent
fiQht with Indians and the destruction
OF q village. The village destroyed
was located at Hochinoo, on the Alaskan
coast. The tribe had seized and held two
whits men and steam launch, which
had been sent out with Q tug for whales.
The launch was provided with bomb,
which was being fired, when an ex'
plosion occurred, and On Indian chief,
who was on board was killed.
The tribe surrounded and captured
the launch, with CwO white men, and
nearly succeeded In getting possession
Of the tug. The latter, however gov
away and steamed to Sitka. The Corwin
with her captain and sixty sailors and
marines was dispatched to Hochlnoo.
Captain Merriam demanded the sur
render Of the launch and prisoners,
| which was refused. The next morning
a Gatling gun was placed on the beach
and q force landed and destroyed all
the canoes.
Tho Indians hed to the woods and
the village was shelled, the huts that
remained standing after the shelling be-
ing looted and burned. Several warriors
who ventured out of shelter were killed
This severe lesson WAS necessary, ,as the
tribe has been guilty Of many acts OF
cruelty to the whites.
Hearing, while in Alaska that Indians
had taken possession OF one OF the
American Fur Trading Company
stations and held all the employees
prisoners, Comm ander Healy vent to
their relief, and found the Indians very
hostile. He shelled their village and
released all the prisoners. The village
was totally destroyed and two chiefs
were mado prisoners.

ATOuxh Bear Story.

The Chatham World says On Tues
day evening George Trevors, while go
ing through the woods 10 his home in
Douglasfeld, N, B., was attacked by
a very large bear. Having no other
weapon than bottle of paraEne oil, +,
he struck the bear and broke the bottle
of oil over him. The bear then sprang
on him and commenced hugging him,
when George had the presence of mind
to light match and set Rre to him.
In an instant old Bruin was all IN
blaze and let go of him, and In less
than five minutes was all consumed
but the head and shoulders. George
then commenced to carry water in his
hat to Quench the fire to save the snout,
80 as to get the bounty. If Mr.. Trevors
had never before any notable adven'
lures with bears, his friends might feel
inclined to donbt the accuracy OF this
recital but " hen they remember that
1t was he who recently rode home with
two dead cubs and live bear, q paw
clasped in each hand, they will see
that there is nothing to be surprised at
in this his lateLt achievement.

RHaeDanE Oar Ventilation.

A winter in the Laramie Boomerang
saws: One more sleeping car episode
and l will close. A fat man from New
York engaged a lower berth last even,
ing, and, after he had retired he raised
the curtain Of his window and gloateo
in the cool moonlight, and the fresh,
nure air that came in at the partially
opened easement. He was q great
stickler for ventilation, and the though
that he was gettinga q glorious draught
of heavens pure air made him happy.
Finally bathed in the magnificent moon
light, he sank to sleep. In the morn
IND he woke to find that the window
was double and that only one OF them
was open. Aside from the man who
cot up in the dark and kicked four
Danes Of glass out Of a bookcase in or;

He was walking last evening on Merton

like these plants that you call weeds
Sedge, bareback, mullen, yarrsW-
That knit their roots and Eft their seeds
Where any grassy wheel.traok leads
Through country by.wsyS narrow.
They fringe the rugged hillside farms,
Grown old with cultivation,
With such wild wealth Of rustic charms
AS bloomed in Natures matron arms
The frat days OF creation.
They show how Mother Earth loves best
To deck her tlred-out places;
BY fowery lius, In hours Of rest;
Against hard work she win protest
With homely airs and gracSs.
You pIow the arbutus from her hills:
HeW down her mountain laurel
Their place as best she can, she nils
With humbler blossoms; so she wills
To close with you her quarrel.
She yielded to your axe, with pain,
Her free primeval glory;
She brought you crops Of golden grain,
You say, "How dull she grows how plain!
The old mean Beltish story
Her wildwood soil you may subdue,
Tortured by hoe and harrow;
But leave her for o year or two,
Apd see | she stands and laughs at You
With hardhack, MULLEN, ,ysrroW
Dear Earth, the world is hard TO please
Yet heavens breath gently passes
Into the life Of flowers like these;
And lie down ct blessed ease
Among thy weed and grasses.
