Battle With q Bear.

Montreal has a noted character called
Joe Beef, who keeps saloon and eat
ing-house for sailors and longshOrs-
men. He has a bear pit under his
canteen on Common street. 1t extends
all along under the house, and is
reigned over by big black bear, weigh
ing over four hundred pounds. There
are also a she bear and two compare
tive young cubs, which Joe reckons
among his domestic pets. One after
noon recently, while colored preacher
was holding services in the singing
room," three American strangers came
to visit the place, and the trap door
was thrown open to show the bears.
While Joe went into the barroom, his
little boy, six years old, went too near
the edge and fell into the den. The old
bears were in dark corner, but one Of
the cubs at once ran toward the child,
who had uttered afrightful scream. The
cook laid down on the floor, and, reach
ing down, caught hold Of the little fell
low and raised him up. The she bear
had heard the child's cries, and, with
growl, rushed toward the trap door
and seized the child just as he was
being lifted up. The little fellow was
in an instant dragged into the den, en-
circled by the claws of the she bear.
Joe, hearing the noise, came to the
door, and seeing his child as it werei in
the jaws of death, did net hesitate for
amoment to think, but leaped from the
floor to the pit, lighting on the head Of
one of the bears. He managed by a
frantic effort to tear his child from the
savage monster and threw him behind.
In another instant he handed
the little fellow up among the almost
paralyzed spectators. The mo-
ment the child was out of the pit the
she bear growled fiercely and sprang
on Joe, who had no arms to defend
himself. The savage brute seized him
by the right knee, throwing him on his
back. Her teeth were driven fully
half an inch into his flesh. He was
then completely at the mercy of the
animal, whose tameness had disap-
peared, it being enraged at having the
child taken away. Joe did not lose
presence of mind, but seized brick
which lay near him and struck the
bear on the nose with all his might.
The brute let go her hold and Joe
quickly got on his feet. Joe was then
rescued from the pit, his legs being
covered with blood. The trousers
which he had on were torn to shreds
and his stockings were saturated with
blood. The child had not been in
jur,d at all beyond a slight scratch on
the head.

BLACK BIEcH.-Black birch is one of
the woods which is providing into the
shoes Of walnut, which are sure to be
vacated before many years of consump-
ton. It is coming rapidly into favor,
and il an excellent substitute for wal
nut. 1t is clear grained and handsome,
and can readily be given An exact wal
nut stain. 1t is easily worked and suit
able to nearly all the purposes to which
black walnut is at present applied.
Birch Is about the same color as cherry,
but is immensely cheaper and far more
plenty. Beside the fact of its staining
50 al to resemble walnut, it il susoepti-
BILE to q beautiful polish, equal to any
wood now used in the manufacture Of
furniture. In the forests throughout
Ontario birch grows in abundance, es-
pecially ii the soil is not too Doggy.
There is a great difference in the wood

The Canadian Pacific Railroad, from
all accounts, is making wonderful pro-
gress across the continent, and as an j.
lustration we offer the following from a
report of a recsnt interview with a con-
tractor, Published in the st. Paul Pho
neer-Press:
We contracted, said Mr.. Shepard, in
February last to construct 500 miles of
road for the Canadian Pacific, and to
complete the work daring 1882 OF
that number Of miles about fifty were
partially graded and nearly completed.
Work began in March, but owing to the
snow and water Of the. late spring and
the freight blockade, operations were
greatly retarded until June lst. The
initial point was Flat Greek, thirty
three miles west of Brandon. have
Just returned from the line, end the
grading is all under way. The end of
track WAS I27 miles west Of Flat Creek,
Thursday, July q. and tine grading was
completed fifty miles further. In fact,
the grading ID all we'll under way to
Moose jaw Creek, midway between the
l05th and l06th msridians. The grading
IS progressing at the rate of six miles
per day, and the iron is being placed at
the rate of three miles per day.
We have 4, 200 men at work, including
Transfers, and 1,GO teams. The pres
en-. rate of tracklaying, however, will
soon be incre ,sed to four miles per day.
as we shall put on two gangs of men, in
reIiefs, and work fifteen hours out Of
the twenty four, instead of eleven hours
as at present. We show a record at
trackiaying whick has never been sur
passed on this continent. In fast, the
iron now is going down rs fast as it can
be pulled from the cars. NOtwithstand-
ing ths adverse influences encountered
early in the spring, we expect to m
plete five hundped miles of grading be-
fore it freezes, and perhaps fifty miles
more. We shall increase our force as
rapidly as possible. The tracklayin2
will go on all winter, and we will haze
the grade all ironed by spring dis
tance of Gs3 miles west of Winnipeg.
Not only that, but We hope to carry 1t
fifty miles further, beyond the CROSSING
of the Saskatchewan river.

LONELY DRATH.-The Oregonian Of
Sunday last tells the pathetic story fol
lowinS:-C. J. Weissmon9er. draughts-
man, died of consumption in a little
house on Grant street, between Fourth
and Fifth. Saturday afternoon. His
sufferings few hours before his death
must have been terrible, for.h his gr0ans
could be heard more than a block away.
NeiQhbors came to the house to learn
the cause, but found the door locked and
Uere 10th to break in. Chief of Police
Lappeus was informed of the state of
affairs and lost no time in going to the
place and forcing an entrance through
= window. As he entered, a ghas.ly
sight met his eve. In the middle of the
room lay a man with sunken features
and inotionleSS form, and III one corner
was basin filled with blood, while CORY
cloths were scattered over tie floor. APP
pro lching the man. the chief found him
still breathing and evidently conscious,
bat unable to speak. There was No bed
III the house. and not even chair, 50
the chief raised the man and propped
him up in the corner. He than started
to get y hack to take the man to the hos
pi.ai, but had gone only two or three
blocks when he WAS called back by one
Of tho Eeighbors. who told him the man
was dead. 1t was true, and Coroner
Cooke WAS then notified. No Que knew
the dead man, and his name was learned
by examinat on of his papers. Inquiry
since the death revealed that WeissmOn-
ger has been in the city about three
months, and had been a long sufferer
from the terrible disease when he came.
A physician advised him to so to a hos
pital and be taken care Of; but he de-
clined, and about eight days ago he rent
ed the little house where he died, pay ing
for it a month in advance. Since then
he has scarcely been away from the
place, and for two days past has not
been out Of the house. He must have
been in very needy circumstances, for
there was nothing in the house except
drauehtlng, q table. a valise, small
gas stove, a tin pail, teapot and
cracked cup and saucer. With these
last named articles he prepared his
meals. His bed was the floor, without
blanket to cover him. There was no
clothing in the house save what he had
hs had on his person. In the valise we're
some articles of food and papers, and
several unfinished draughts lay upon
the table. This was all. He had strug-
gled vainly with the fell destroyer while
his own strength lasted, and pride had
kept him from asking aid. The remains
were removed to the corOner's Office, but
1t Is not thought necessary to hold an
inquest.
