An Encounter With a Bear in a Cave,
[From the Augusta (Me.) Jourual.1

Henry A. Hall, one of our most pop
ular letter-carriers, is in New Bruins
WICK, enjoying a short vacation. Mr..
Hall is quite Nimrod, and with rifle
aud fishing tackle is making havoc
among the denizens of the forests and
lakes of New Brunswick. From nri-
vate letter we are permitted to make the
following extracts: cannot close
this letter without telling of little close
rub [ have had since here, though you
may think [ am exercising a Yankee
privilege of Dragging. Last Monday,
when out in the forest about 20 miles
from town, / came across a camp of
Frenchmen, where [ hired young boz
to guide me into the woods. About two
hours after we started we came to cave
and [ sent the boy in out of curiosity.
He called out there were some bear cubs
inside. just as he did so heard crash
ing and growing beside me and had just
time to bring my trusty rife to my shout
der and fire at a black mass that tum-
bled past me, and as It plunged into the
mouth of the cave I realized bruin had
come back. / don't know how I ever
did it, but I have an indistinct recollec-
ton of dropping my gun, drawing my
bowie-knife and jumping into the dense
darkness of the cave. 1t is as dream
-horrible-and like a nightmare in
which everything is mixed. [ remember
plunging my knife again and again into
the body, the warm jet of blood, the
tearing of claws across my body, the hot
breath in my face, close embrace then
darkness When I revived I was lying
outside the cave and the Frenchmen
were cutting up the monster, which
weighed when dressed, $50 pounds.
Petit Pierre, my boy guide, had been in
the cave during my combat, and, when
the bear fell on me IN his death struggle,
he crawled out of the cave and ran back
to camp. 1 am all right or shall be when
the marks of the brutes claws are
healed. shall bring his skin back with
me and I wish could give you piece

and will incur no special risk of loss of
life. He proposes to keep near shore.
He would make two depots for supplies
In case of retreat, one on the western
coast of Greenland and another further
north, at Lady Franklin Bay. He would
then keep up the Greenland coast until
he struck the northern limit of nav

base of supplies. He would then send
out parties on the land, and if the end of
the land was reached OH the ice pack.

numbered by stores. He has the opinion
of various Arctic travellers that his plan
is the most feasible devised SO far for
the successful penetration of the polar
regions. He expects to find more
moderate climate at the pole than for
some distance south of it.

Keeping Furs.

THE MEANING OF AN OPAL.
BY HENRI DAUGE.


ssSee with what vivid and what varied flame
love you, Agile, said my love to me-
Always so tenderly he breathes my name,
The little name seems caress TO De.
Ciasped in an endless circlet of fair gold,
An opal-less jewel than fire
Burned with bright hues whose symbols sweetiy
Of deathless love, of truth, and pure desire.
We studied this keen opal, he and 1,
Cheek warm on cheek, hand safe in sheltering
hand:
Here burned the blue of fair fidelity,
There shot the gold of wisdom and command;
Here vivid violet, in which red and blue
Bent cunninglv to tell the truth of love;
And then all suddenly loves crimson hue
Triumphanty all colors spread above.
Next sprang to light the emerald's fairy sheen,
Whereat looked TO him; he, whisperingly:
tsOf old, Hopes sacred symbol was this green;
Profaned it MEANS loves tender Jealousy"
Then glowed an orange light, where red and gold
Met in an Or7fdnenle: and softly he
Spoke vet again: g This union, sweet doth hold
Sign of eternal wedock that shall be.
ssFire-like, this trembling and most vivid light
Speaks deepest passion-hear you me, my life
Yet purely above fame reigns virgin white,
So dares this opal speak of you, my wife ]"

SPRING CARROTS WITH CREAM.
How They Suffered.

Herbert W. Leach, of Penobscot, Me.
one of the Jeannette's crew, who escaped
with Lieutenant Melville, sent a letter
to his mother from Irkutsk on Febru-
airy "a, of which the following is part:
"About eight days before we reached
the coast we encountered heavy gale,
which nearly put an end to our suffer
ings. When it commenced to blow the
lieutenant put me at the helm. It was
very cold and the boat was nearly full of
water all the time, in spite of the mems
bailing for dear life. I sat at the helm
about IA hours before the wind abated
enough for me to be relieved. When
the time came [ rose and fell flat into
the bottom of the boat. Ny feet were
frozen stiff and my legs were chilled up
to nay body so badly that think they
could have been taken off without my
feeling it. When we got ashore [ was
in tight fix. I could not walk and
was in much pain, and my feet had be-
gun to putrefy. Bartlett, one Of the
men, took knife and cut out the cor
rupt places, and cut about half of one of
my great toes off, leaving about half an
inch of the bone sticking ont of the end.
About month ago [ found doctor who

A $4,000 Check on a ShinoIe.
lFrom the San Francisco Bulletin NAV !

lIIoI4I euO Cau nTduClSCO bulletin, May Z.J
Joseph G. Palmer, a California pio-
neer, and at one time banker and poll
tician, died yesterday in Oakland, at the
age of 63. Mr.. Palmer, in the early
days of California, was a member of the
firm of Palmer, Cook & Co., a bank
which did an immense business, and
whose influence was felt throughout the
state. To show his readiness to adopt
original methods in an emergency, it is
related that once depositor called to
draw large sum of money (S28, OOO)
from the bank. Mr.. Palmer's consent
was necessary, but he had been called
away to attend to some duty at lumber
yard a mile or more from the bank.
Thither the depositor FASTENED and
made known his wants and the necessity
of having them attended to at once. Mr..
Palmer could find neither pen, ink, pen
Gil or paper. But without moments
hesitation he picked up a Single, bor-
rowed a piece of red chalk, and with it
wrote a check On the single in large and
distinct letters for $4,000. This was
good when presented for all the money
the depositor had in the bank, and it
proved an exceedingly good advertise
ment for Palmer. It gained confidence
for the original genius of our first great
banker, whom everybody admired and
trusted.

A Useful Army Handkerchief.

A military Observation-Disclosures, de-
vlsed by Swiss manufacturer last year,
found its way to the French war office,
where 1t was SO highly approved that
the military authorities have introduced
a similar article into the French army.
The center of the handkerchief is occu-
pied by the cross of the Legion OF Honor
upon red background, with the in
scription HonneUr ct Patrie beneath 1t.
Around this central point is grouped q
circle OF medalllons containing represen-
tations of officers of all grades. The
different uniforms are pictured so dis
tinctly that the French private can tell
at glance to what grade any officer
whom he may see has attained. The
Observation-Disclosures prepared for
the infantry soldier has exact drawings
OF the arms used by him, with explana-
tions of their mechanism. The borders
of the handkerchiefs are hemmed in with
a framework of national colors, and
within this framework are printed a
number OF sanitary precepts to be OBJ
served on march and during a campaign.
Here are some Of the marching adyices:
'' Wear the cravat loose. A strip of
flannel day and night around the body
day and night in order to keep off diar-
rhea. Quench thirst with very small
doses of wine, coffee, vinegar and water,
or brandy and water. Take a piece of
bread and little coffee before the
march. Spirituous drinks do more harm
than good. Drink water neither hastily
nor too cold. In quarters wash face and
hands, and, when possible, the whole
body. Wash the feet and rub in little
fat or brandy; next, cook the soup, and
do it at once, even though feeling quite
tired out"

SACRIFICE.

Nay, for his sake is anything too hard %
SO, almost eager for the sacrifice,
With the brave smile bright in the swimming eyes
Speaks love; impetuous, seeking no reward,
Breaking the thorny path by custom barred
Needless of bitter winds, and cloudy skies,
Feeling the full heart to the call arise.
Glad in his offering, full, ungrudged unshared
All this at first; all this so easy seemsl
But, when the warm impusive glow is past
When the chill morning stares upon our dreams
And every step draws heavier than the last,
Take heed, lest as hope dims, and labors irk,
Love, fainting, shun completion of his work.

DON'T SPILL ANY Blood.

dispatch from Tombstone, Arizona, dated
September 10, gives the following account of
an alleged duel between two editors. It's about
as amusing and ridiculous us an account of a
Virginia duel-no more and no less:
"The correspondent who accompanied the
duclists Samuel Purdy, 1r., editor OF the
EpitdEh, and Patrick Hamilton, editor OF the
Mdependent to Sonora & sends the following % &c

for their wounded honors had rendezvous

rived about an hour previous. The party en-
camped and slept few hours. The Hamilton
party rose at daybreak, and Just at sunrise
started for tho boundary line. Purdy and
his party, somewhat dilatory In their
movements, followed about half an hour later.
Tho road was kept for distance OF about four
miles south of ochoville, and near the road
side spot was selected for the encounter.
When the second party arrived they found
the Hamilton hostiles already on the ground,
eagerly awaiting their coming. Tho prlnci.
pals and seconds, tho attending physicians
and the reporters alighted, and the ten PAGES
were measured on by William Milliken, ono
Of Hamiltons seconds, the operation being
closely scrutinized by the ever-vigllant Judge
McGowan. An effort was at this luncture
made to compromise the difficulty, but
without avail, and the hostile demonstrations
fixed and the choice OF positions tossed
for, Milliken being the winner. His principal
was accordingly, placed with his back TO the
face. The seconds OF both the parties pro.
v1ded weapons, which, according 10 tho torms
OF the combat, were Colts pistols OF i5 callbre.
Those In possession OF the Hamilton party
were new, and they claimed the right, as the
challenged party, to furnish the weapons
Judge MCGOWAN was asked to select one OF the
weapons, which he did, but soon after re
turned IL and requested leave TO try the other
The request being granted, Purdy's seconds
refused to use the weapon offored by the op
posite party, giving as their reason that they
were new and worked 80 hard that their
principal would be placed at disad-
vantage II forced to choose either o
them. The weapons In possession OF Purdy'i
seconds were then produced, and Hamiltoni
seconds were offered their choice, which wa!
promptly refused, and Mr.. Hamilton asserted

offered on behalf OF his principal TO toss up Il
