Mr., Sheldon's Good Shot,


H. j. Sheldon left his camp at Coop
err City, on the Pecos, in search of game.
About o'clock in the afternoon the.
burro, which had wandered ahead, came
running back, apparently in great ter
ror, ears and tail erect, eyes glaring,
making that peculiar mOurnful sound
for which its species is noted, and refus-
ing to be caught orcomforted. Not be-
ing able to make out from the report of
the confused burro just what had hap
pencd, Mr.. Sheldon cooked his gun,
and advanced slowly and cautiously on
the unknown enemy. Crawling along
on his hands and knees for about =
quarter of mile, he at length doubled
a bend in the river, and there, standing
in full view in the meadow, and not
more than $50 yards away, he saw a
huge grizzly bear with three cubs, and
just beyond the bear, and in direct
range with her, an animal that he at
once recognized as the long-sought-for
elk. Neither of the beasts was aware
of his approach, SO, quietly rising upon
one knee, and resting his rifle across the
other, which is Mr.. SIS favorite posi-
ton in shooting, he took deliberate aim.
Bang! went the gun, away sped the
bullet, and down fell two animals-in
fact, three-the bear, the elk, and Mr..
S. himself. The bullet had cut the back
bone of the bear completely in two, and,
passing on through, had lodged in the
heart Of the elk; and the extraordinary
task to which the rifle had been subject
ed produced such violent recoil that
the hunter himself was stretched flat up
on the ground. Recovering himself
speedily Mr.. Sheldon advanced upon
the prey, hunting-knife in hand, but life
was extinct in both animals. The little
cubs, on hearing the report of the gun,
fled; but, being only few weeks old,
were speedily captured, tied in bags,
and fastened on the back of the horse

He Jumped Of.

People who jump off the cars while
they are in motion usually have leisure
enough to repent of it by-and-by-un-
less their jump kills them outright. The
Newark CuN paints here with no SPAR
ing of colors the appearance of the man
who wanted to "save time:''
Last Wednesday,, a man on the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western road met
an acquaintance, who may be called
Higgins, on the train which left New
York at six o'clock. Higgins carried
his left arm in a sling, and walked with
limp. His face was scanned with ugly
scars, and ornamented on the chin with
a rosette of crossing strips of court plas-
ter. Dark blood had settled in pool
under each eye, His nose. besides
being in an attitude of ungraceful fat
ness, had much of the appearance of
raw beef, and one earhad lost it's shape.
lin the name of goodness, Higgins,
what has happened to you?" asked his
friend. .Been ground up in stone
crusher?''
NO" was the reply, sadly spoken.
''What is it then? Have you had q
tumble through \ hatchway?''
"No,"
''Did your ceiling come down on you
in your sleep?''
20 no, nothing of that kind.''
''You had no unpleasantness with one
OF the wildcats when over at Barnum's,
I hope"
Higgins did not seem to enjoy this
jocose questioning. Finally he asked
':Do you still jump off the train going
up the hill? If so, I must warn you
against it."
''Well," said the other.
Il thought" went on Higgins, .'you

What an Old Nan Missed.

A man about 80 years old, having his
pantaloons tucked into his boot-legs and
his hat balanced on his left ear, got out
of q farmers wagon on Michigan ave-

'By George! And wasn't here!'
''And tho police went around knock
ing folks down, and five saloon-keepers
got cleaned out, and three lame women
got run over, and over twelve boys had
their eyes put out!'
''Sakes alive! And never saw itr'
"And man he shot off 100 punches
of fire crackers to once, and two boys
fell off the wharf, and three buildings
took fire, and man tried to cut his
throat, and there was six pickpockets
walking up and down all the time"
''And wasn't within seven miles of
Detroit all day! What a fool l VAST
''That's SO; and a baby he swallowed

FREDERICK DoUGLAss.-W would
invite attention to the advertisement
OF the Park Publishing Co., of Hart
ford, Conn, who have recently issued
the Autobiography of Frederick
Douglass. Our readers are all more
or less acquainted with the history of
Mr.. Douglass and should make them
selves familiar with his book.
The Cleveland Leader (Ohio) says:
This book will gain instant recog-
milton as one of the healthiest and
most important works ever contributed
to American literature. 1t will take
its place as a volume indispensable in
the complete records of our national
history. The life struggle it portrays
will be erected as standard of emu
lation to the youth and manhood of
America, who, without such exam
pies, might well doubt the possibility
of climbing SO high from a condition
so low. And scarcely less important
to the work and the lesson it has to
teach, it possesses advantages quite
unparalleled for holding interest, and
stamping upon all classes of minds it's
inherent principles of freedom and
manhood. The narrative of Doug
lass's days of slavery and escape from
bondage is hardly less interesting
than Uncle Toms Cabin, % while
the truth lose nothing in comparison
with the ideality of that work, and it
carries it's subject through a wider
range of accomplishment to rank
sufficiently exalted to win all admira-
ton. 1t is needless to speak of the
literary style of the book the accom-
plishments of the writer are known to
all who read Americans will be
proud Of this donation to their litera-
ture, and thankful to Mr.. Douglass
that he has made it himself

INCREASED I losT OFFICE FACILITIES.
The amount Pf mail matter now re-
celved and delivered at the Trenton
Post Office is just twice as great
as when Postmaster Howell first took
charge of the Office The number of
clerks and carriers remains the same.
postmaster Howell has repeatedly en-
deavored to secure additional help,
but without success. This condition
Of affairs, however, has existed so
long that it is beginning to seriously
impair the efficiency of the service.
Inc carriers have more matter to de-
nVer than they can possibly handle.
Postmaster Howell has at last inter
eSted Congressman Brewer in the
matter, anol there now appears a
probability Iof obtaining relief. APP
phcatlon haas been made for two more
carriers an4 an additional clerk.
