There are various notions current
among men of many minds in regard to
what constitutes the highest ideal of
personal enjoyment. There are those,
indeed, who look upon coon hunting rs
sport, and about this time of the year
sally out into the country to indulge in
this inspiring recreation. Coon-hunting
takes place at night, and requires for its
proper prosecution a number of cur dogs
of uncertain parentage, which are sup
posed to be liberally educated if they
can tell coon from a polecat. At times
a company of nocturnal hunters have
been made a Kissing and reproach to the
entire community by the misplaced zeal
of their dogs in following the trail of the
latter animal. When game is discov-
cred by these dogs the entire company
goes crashing and stumbling through
the woods for several miles, falling over
logs and into brooks, and getting
scratched by brambles and whipped in
the face with twigs, until the coon is
treed. Then the beast is shot or shaken
out of the tree, aud worried to death by
the dogs, and the hunters, covered with
glory and mud, take the quarry home
and make a noxious stew of it, of which
they partake with assumed enjoyment.
1t is curious fact that men who are ter
ribly particular about civilized food, and
ind all sorts of fault with the manner of
its preparation, will eat any manner of
wild abomination and affect to be
pleased with it if only the sacred name
of game is attached thereto.-Boston

Troubles in South America.

PANAMA, December 26.-Serious
diplomatic trouble appears likely to
occur between Columbia and Cena-
dor, owing to citizens of the former
republic being fogged and impris-
oned in the latter. This punishment
was inflicted because of the sympa>
thy exhibited by the Columbians
with the revolution headed by Eloy
Alfaro. Ecquaderion, dictator, has
few friends among right thinking
men, so that in the districts where
he exercises military despotism he
endeavors to suppress any express
sion of feeling.
Senior Damoso Cervera, President
of Panama, having sent in his resig-
nation as Senator, the State Legis-
lature has unanimously elected DIR.
Rafal Nunsee to fill the vacancy, SO
that it appears probable that this
man will represent this State in the
next Congress at Bagota, and will
not come here to occupy the Presi-
dency.@
At the time of the death of Taenor
w. Hork he was on his way to
Panama to take part in the final
transfer of the Panama Railroad to
the canal company.

Enormous Sales Of Cotton Futures.

New YORK, December 26.-The
Senate committee on corners and
dealings in futures resumed its sese
sion again to-day. Geo. FL. Moore,
Secretary of the New York Cotton
ExchaD ge, testified that the amount
of cotton actually handled in this
city, last year, was about 100000
bales-of which amount he thought
that about one-half had been ex-
ported. The amount of future sales,
from May 81, 1881, to May
81, 1882, was 32,700,00O bales.
In the purchase of deposit
of margin is a question within the
discretion of the broker when the
purchaser is a member of the ex>
change. When the purchaser is not
member he must deposit mar
gin in the trust company, and keep
it up to ruling the market alone.
A large portion of the business in
futures is done by persons not mem
members of the exchange and by
residents of all parts of the world.
Witness had known orders to come
from India. Many of the sales of
futures in the New York exchange
are actually carried out as to deliv-
cry of cotton in other places.
The corner committee witness ex>
planned that the discrepancy between
the transactions in futures and the
number of bales actually handled in
this city, was caused by what might
be called hedging. The business of
dealing in futures in cotton in this
city began in 1868 or 1869, and has
grown from very small annual sales
to its present large proportions.
There had been about five so.called
corners in cotton since that time,
but none to which witness would
give that name There had been
no close corner. Witness did not
know who was concerned in effecting
corners. The price had not been
advanced by them more than cent
or cent and half per pound at
any one time. 3ss5.s

There appears to be general de-
sire among the Republicans of Penn
sylvania for harmony in the party.
The residuum of bitterness from the
late campaign is much smaller than
expected and the path to union is
consequently much easier. Express
sions of opinion from all parts of the
State, as given in the Times, of
Philadelphia, agree as to the desira-
bility and practicability of reunion
of the factions. One point is evi-
dent, that paper says, in all the
views published, and that is this:
"There must be no more machine
management; party bosses must not
assume to dictate party nominations
and party action; the rank and file,
which is the whole party, should be
given the largest freedom of prefer
ence in the management of prima.
ries and conventions and the naming
of candidates. So much is very
generally agreed upon and the Stall l.,
warts almost lead the Independents
in taking such position. A harmo>
NOUS Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania is greatly to be desired.

Col. John H. Savage and others.

March and April, 1866, after Bro own-

Murder Ca


The trial of Mat Presnell for the muir
der of Chas. Carthy, Monday, was resumed
yesterday morning before Squire King
A large number of witnesses were exam
ined, greater part of them being for the
defense. The entire morning was occupied
in the examination. About the only materi-
al difference brought out in the testimony
from what has already been reported in the
case was that, perhaps, it was not 50 strong
as was first thought. 1t was proven that
the dead man said he was going
home and get his gun to kill
Presnell, the prisoner, because he had
drawn his pistol on him.
Squire King said that as there were
strong witnesses for the prisoner he would
allow bail, which was fixed at $4,000 for
the shooting and $3.50 for carrying con-
cealed weapons, Messrs. Steve. and Mike
Condor signing the bond for his appear =
