Hunting ADigatOrs in Florida.

Parties are hunting the gators way
down on the Caloosahatchie and Kis-
simmee Rivers, and upon the numerous
lakes in that region. Nothing is used
except the skins upon the belly and
legs the rough, scaly plates upon the
back of the animal being rejected. Tho
heads are cut off and buried for few
days when the tusks can be detached.
1t was announced some DAYS since that
one person had collected allipators'
teeth to the amount of three hundred
and fifty pounds This fact alone will
give some idea of the destruction now
going on among these creatures. On
the st. Johns River q new method has
been devised for the successful pursuit
of this game. A dark lantern with a
powerful reflector is used on suitable
nights, and no difficulty is experienced
in approaching the quarry. The ani-i
mails appear to be perfectly bewildered
by the strong glare, and make no effort
to escape. The gun is held within q
few feet of the head, touch to the
trigger, and there is gator less in
Florida. This new process is very eff
fective, as the hunters are enabled not
only to kill, but to secure the prev It
is sad to reflect that the race of the sau-
rians is in danger of being extirpated. .
Thousands are slain annually by tour
lists and others for amusement merely,
in addition to those slaughtered for
profit. Thousands of baby gators are
stuffed or sent Off alive as curiosities,
while myriads of eggs are blown and
disposed of by dealers. Amid all these
causes combined the brute seems in a
good way to become extinct. This is
somewhat unfortunate, as the beast is
a constant source of interest to our
Northern brethren, and every hunter
from that section eagerly Graves the
distinction of adding an alligator scalp
to his list of trophies. If their whole-
sale destruction continues it will be
necessary to call on the Fish Commis-
siOners to restOck our lakes and rivers
with these valuable animals -JGc6SO7s-

The study of the Greenland glaciers
takes US a step further toward the un-
derstanding of the American ice-sheet.
We have hardly appreciated the size of
this island--it being larger than the AL,
pine glaciated tract. II is over twelve
hundred miles long, and four hundred
broad, or as far as from Boston to the
Missouri River. The interior is cov-
cred by field of ice never crossed in
direct line by any civilized being.
From three points attempts have been
made to learn something of it nature.
In 1880 Keilsen went eighty miles in
land from HOlsteinberg latitude sixty
seven degrees reaching the edge of
the ice-sheet, which could not be
climbed. In 1870 NOrdenskiold went
in a distance of thirty miles, reaching
the altitude of twenty-five hundred
feet. He observed that the ice rose
gradually toward the interior. The
outer edge is a high, precipitous wall.
Once entered upon the broad surface of
the ice, tits like travelling upon the sea,
away from all sight of land. From
North Greenland, DR.. Hayes pene-
trated to distance of seventy miles 1t
was day journey from the sea to the
wall of ice. The second dav was spent
in climbing to the table-land; the third
day allowed progress of thirty miles,
the angle of ascent falling from six to
two degrees. On the fourth day an al-
titude of five thousand feet was at
tanned, and the ice still continued TO
rise, but, because of inclement wealth
er, no further progress was practical
Bile. The view was that of a frozen
Sahara, immeasurable to the human
eye.
1t is probable that Greenland slopes
westerly in general, having its main
axis OF elevation near the eastern bOr-
der 1t may be compared to a broad
platter inclined westerly, with occa-
siOnal chinks in the sides through which
the ice discharges itself as If it were a
ViscOus body. The principal discharge
OF icebergs is upon the western side into
Batin's Bav. Not less than thirteen
glaciers are found upon the western
side to the south of Upernavik, about
seventy-three degrees north latitude,
and the largest ones occur further
north. Some of the bergs are three
thousand feet thick The Humboldt
glacier empties into Smiths Sound with
a width of sixty miles, and showing ice
cliffs from fifty to three hundred feet
high above the water. The rock-cliis
are from five hundred to one
thousand feet high. At Polaris Bay
nOrthward transportation is indicated,
where Dr. Bessel found numerous gran
itic blocks containing peculiar garnets,
such as abound in South Greenland,
resting upon silurian limestones. Other
glaciers have been mentioned farther
north some have suggested that 3
series of islands will be found under
meath the ice. Little is known of the
eastern side, because it is practically
inaccessible. Prof @. h. Hitchcock, ia

and their one song seemed to be 81
Maggie"
He md sent the girl few lines ON
the previous evening, saving that his
mother, Lady Carew, would be at Ar
mytage on the morrow and that he
should bring her to the cottage for 8n
hour orso
"LOok your best and sweetest" he
added and the girls heart beat fast as
she read the words. She could imagine
what would follow If he brought his
mother there. For some reasons, it
was not wise Of HIM to have writtcn.
Had she been taken by surprise, Maggie
would have been ten times more at her
case and more graceful As it was.
the idea that Lady Carew was coming
made her feel nervous.
The cool muslins and pretty prints
were discarded as not being rood
enough for the occasion; they were all
very well for a lover who had no ewes
for anything but her face; but, thanks
to the notions ofgentility that had been
impressed upon her, she knew better
than to receive a visit from Lady Carew
in pink print dress. She had a hideoug
crimson m6rinO elabOrately trimmed
with shining black beads. which had
been purchased by her aunt a year be-
fore for tea-party, a dress that would
have made any lover of good taste
shudder. This was her state-dress. So
far as it could, it robbed her beautiful
figure Of its grace--it changed herfro1n
a lovely girl to a vulgar but beautiful
woman.
Not cOntentwith this, and to do honor
to her illustrious visitor, Maggie put ON
a gaudy necklace of coral beads. Sho
also wore a few common rings, which
made her hands look redder and coarser
than they otherw Sc would. So far rs
it lay in the power Of dress, she made
herself look vulgar and gaudy; but she
could not spoil the peerless beauty OF
her face.

The Match.Making Napoleon.

Napoleon could be liberal for his own
sake to those who could help him. al
ways on the condition of their absolute
subserviency. But he appars to have
| been almost destitute of real generosity
Of SOUL he took positive pleasure in
wounding sensitive natures. and he was
given to indulging in Outbursts of bru-
tality which sometimes passed from
rough language into actual violence.
As for that matchmaking mania of his,
there are two instances among many
which are strikingly suggestive. One
was his actually proposing, after the di-
vOrce from Josephine, that she should
bestow her hand on the Prince of Wur-
temburg, who, having come to Paris on
political business, had been greatly taken
by the fascinating Empress. Though
the proposal was certainly made, it
could scarcely have been serious; at all
events, the Prince would have had rea-
son to repent the match, for Napoleon
was in love with Josephine to the last,
and proved his capriciOus love by his
irritable jealousy.
In the second instance to which we
refer, marriage was really brought off,
in style that reminds us of the Eastern
seraglio or the guard-rOOm, and one of
the victims was no less a person than
DavOust. Napoleon suddenly announced
to his brOther-in-law, General Leclerc,
that he (Leclerc) was appointed to the
command of the st. Domingo expedi-
ton, and must sail Immediately. Le-
clerc demonstrated against the hastv
departure. A sacred tie bound him to
France. He had a sister who would be
left alone in the world.
" We must have her married directly
tomorrow, for example"
But / have no fortune to give her"
Am l not here? Tomorrow your
sister shall be married. 1 don't know
exactly to whom
Shortly afterward DavOust entered to
inform Napoleon that he was about to
be married.
To Mile. Leclerc! find the match
very suitable -
"NO, General; with Mime. -"
"TO Mile Leclerc." "
And DavOust was sent off to Nine.
Campain in search of his future BRIDE
London Times.
