morning at daybreak l was under way,
with our black interpreter, and armed
with my Martini rifle. We arrived at
! a village, and some natives immediate
ly volunteered to guide me, and come
and see the fun. They hate hippOs,
which do great mischief to their little
crops, sugaT-canes, etc, besides fright
ening them out of their wits at night,
and often knocking down their houses.
When we reached the lake there lay
the unconscious hippOs as before, in
about six feet of water, their heads
just above the surface. The blacks
guided me round to the other side of
the lake, where, 10y wading out through
the thick, high sedge, | got within
about 10 yards of my quarry, one of
the blacks acting as a rest for my rifle,
and very steady he was. selected the
biggest head as my target, and sent my

body was hurled out of the water fleet

the first one. The natives were as
founded, and looked on the rifle and
me as objects of the greatest interest.
| then shot two more, and by this time
the bodies of the two first were being
dragged ashore. Next morning | was
up early to cut off their heads, as |
knew they would be all floating by
that time, and about 10 blacks accom-
panied me, one of them making fast Il
rope to the leg. On the first being
landed the blacks gave hearty cheer,
something like an Irish "Ullagone,"

proceeded to make Il speech duly rem

That day | spent five hours up to my

blacks cut OFF all the flesh, and bore
away the skulls to the boat. | have

lower jaw of another; my big head and
tuSks are the largest ever seen by any
one on board, the tuskS of the lower
jaw being about nine inches long. The

for the panthers by moonlight, and, on
seeing three come out of the Jungle,
jumped, gun in hand, out of the stern

which opened an old wound, and cut

Hunting the HippOpOtamus.
From the London Field.

Here, on my first day, lost my way
in the jungle, about four miles inland,
and for a long time was in a great
fright, climbing trees to try and get a
view. | fortunately met some natives,
who climbed a cOcOanut tree and got
me some milk, and on my trying to
describe the sea, at once made signs of
intelligence. Thinking | wanted to
get to a lake to shoot hippotami, they
took me two more miles inland, and
on reaching some swampy ground
made signs of caution. At last, part
ing the foliage, they showed me a
small lagoon, and for the first time
beheld the mighty hippopOtamus in his
native lair, never disturbed by a white
man before. My disgust may be i'm
agined as l had only my smOOth-bore,
and on the opposite side of the lake
lay some ls hippos basking in the sun,
and now and then giving a below that

The Southern Braggart.

In the South one soon meets the
young man, a lawyer, or editor, or
physician, who will talk for hours to
any one who will listen of the superb
ority of the South, it's people and civili-
zatiOn, over the North and everything
northern. He always talks well and is
usually a very good fellow, but he
proceeds entirely upon the a priOri
method and his conclusions have little
relation to the facts of life. He knows
little of his own region of the country,
and nothing whatever of any other.
Young men of this type always dwell
with proud and endless iteration on
''the superior purity of southern wO-
men," Their persistence always brings
the mere fact of chastity more nakedly
and definitely before the mind than
seems wholesome or desirable to per
sons who have seen more of life and of
the world. These youthful eulOgists
appear to think that it is a virtue
which is almost unknown except in the
southern states. They do not recog-
nize the fact, which is of great import
ance i'll any real discussion of this feat
ure of our civilization, that the woman
vi dhotlICl IdeC, IolilCIll htlpltSS anu
now degraded, have always formed a
protecting barrier between the icen-
tiOus passions of southern white men
and the women of their own race. |
do not suppose the best women of the
South have any superiOrs on earth, but
their immunity from temptation and
wrong has cost other women dear.
What young men of this class most
need is a wider observation and larger
knowledge of the world, or especially,
of their own country. They would
thus, in time, understand how much
better it is for our young men to be
penetrated and inspired by the idea of
being Americans than to be always
dwelling upon the fact that they are
natives of Virginia, or Massachusetts,
or Arkansas, or New Jersey. There is
really no harm in these young gentle
men, although their vehement utter
ances regarding subjects with which
they have but slight acquaintance have
sometimes furnished convenient ma
terial for the use of northern politicians
who were hostile to the South Janu-
ary Atlantic.

Work on the Washington Mon
uInent.

went to the top of the Washington
monument to-day, which is now about
800 feet high, or 20 feet higher than
when congress resumed the work last
year. A splendid elevator, which cost
about $4,000, and is the highest in the
world, carried us up. This elevator at
the top supports on its four corner
tubes the four cranes which lay the
stone, if necessary, on the four sides
at once. A little railroad brings in
the great blocks of stone, weighing
from two to six tons apiece, and places
them on the elevator, with a low ear
beneath the stone. The elevator is
open, and | had to sit down and hug
the stone to avoid dizziness and the
horrible tumble down the stone shaft.
The elevator ascends very deliberately
and smoothly, and will carry ten tons.
AS the monument is built upward, the
elevator is mOrtised into it, and con
tinues to rise 20 feet at time. The
blocks of marble, seven feet long and
two feet square, are set as easily as
bricks in French lime and Portland ce
ment. The block we went up with
was III its place in 10 minutes. The
walls at the bottom are ID feet thick.
and at that point, if there were no cav
ity, would make a solid shaft of stone
30 feet thick. At the point where they
are now setting stone the walls are
only seven feet thick, and at the top,
800 feet above the ground, will be only
a foot and half thick. The exterior,
or facing of marble, is only four
sevenths of the present thickness. The
lining, of Cape Ann granite, is ,jointed
through at certain spots with the mar
bic to unite the two sorts of stone more
thoroughly. No iron is used for bolts
or rivets anywhere. Each marble stone,
as described, when put into place has
cost S75. The marble is quarried
about 60 miles from the monument.
The 80 feet of the shaft finished near
ly thirty years ago is miserable work
compared to the present, and the lrreg-
ular stones of that period are the only
suggestions of weakness about the edi-
fee. The monument can he finished
in three years. 1t will have a lantern
or cupola on the top, of iron, 30 feet
higher than the masonry, making 800
feet in all. Every foot of the shaft has
been underpinned with a solid apron
or platform of stone, 100 feet square.
Az Ine Top 10 men MoIh constantly +,
quiet as pigeons i'll barn-cOte. The
immense fort of stone at that great
height is beautiful in its symmetry and
as large as comfortable dwelling.
The view is already grand, comprising
| the whole District of Columbia and
many miles of Virginia. The city
looks like mass of loose stones care
lessly cast over the plain, with some
toy public buildings lying between.
| The monument is now fully twO-thirds
done, III labor and stone. When it
shall he 262 feet above the ground, the
present builders upon it will have done
half of the work since they resumed its
construction. 1t il not safe for weak
