Whom Meesrs. England & Deerina
opened their butcher shop ON Tuesday
morning the sidewalk in front of their
door presented the appearance of having
been used as . slaughter house. Atrail,
made BY some bleeding body being
dragged over the ground, was diS-
covered leading from the shop across
the street to the high bank in the rear of
the Retreat saloon, where the body had
been dumped into the river. The mys
stsry was soon explained by 6nooks, q
SnOhomish Indian. A large crowd Of
siwashes had conRreQated in town the
day before, having been invited to At
tend grand "potlach to b given by
Old Doctor, the boss "tamanamus'' man
of this section, in honor Of tho marriage
Of that distinguished buck to Mrs. Katy,
the captivating widow of Ono Eyed
Charley. Among the guests was ono
posed to have cent One Eyed Charley to
the happy hunting grounds about two
years ago. Charley's friends had sworn
revenge. Snooks and Jimmy, q son of
Charley. after getting pretty we'll filed
with bad whiskey, invited Pat and an
other siwash to take = walk. for their
AAooss0 W0 ouRkSO0Os Wu0U IN IIOUS Oh
tho butcher show, Snooks and Jimmy
drew their knives and forthwith COM
menced to carve Pat in such . manner
that he was soon layed out for dead, and
dumped into the river by Snooks. The
cold water revived him and he swan
down tho river about two hundred yards,
when his cries attracted the attention Of
the siwashes oamped there, and he was
pulled out. He was taken up river yes
terday, and ere this has jeined his fore
fathers. Shocks and jimmy have not
yet boon arrested. This il tho second
cutting scrape that has occurred among
the abofigines within two weeks, both
caused by whiskey, and it ID getting old,
Il IL about time the proper authorities
were putting stop 10 this business. If
the parties who furnish them whisky
ahau.d happen to get . few air holes cut
in their worthless hides by drunken
siWash. there would b the worst kind
Of kicking in this. vicinity.

Hunting Alligators In Florida.

Parties are hunting the gators way down
on the CalOOsahatchic and kissimmec 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. The
heads are cut off and buried for "a few days,
when the tusks can be detached. 1t was an
nouuced some days since that one person hall
collected alligators' teeth to the amount o;
three hundred and fifty pounds. This TACT
alone Will give some idea of the destruction
now gong on among these creatures. On the
| ST Johns River a new method has been de
vIsed for the successful pursuit of this game
A dark lantern with powerful reflector Is
used on suitable nights, and no difficulty is
experienced IN approaching the quarry. The
ANIMALS appear to be perfectly bewildered by
the strong glare, and make no effort to esdape
The gun Is held within a few feet of the head,
u touch to the trigger and there is a gator
ess III Florida.
This new process is very effective, as the
hunters are enabled uot only to Kill, buuto
secure the prey. 1t Is sad to reflect that the
race of sauIians is in danger of being extlr-
pated Thousands are slain annually by tour
isis aud others Tor amusement merely, in ad
dition to those slaughtered for profit. Thou
sands of baby gators are stuffed or sent OIL
alive as curioslties, while myriads of eggs are
blown and disposed of by dealers. Amid all
these causes comblded the brute seems in good
way to become extinct. THIS is somewhat un,
fortunate, as the beast is 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 the wholesale destruction
continues 1t will be necessary to call on the
Fish Commissioners to restock our lakes and
rivers with these valuable administrations

THE TALE OF THE CAT-TAIL.

Down In swamp where the alders bloom 2,
weary cat.tail hung Its head,
s'My heart is wrapped around with gloom;
would L would tina, were dead!
Life here Is n6ver hnarious
And always somewhat malarious
Said this disc ontented cattail. fras
"Wby am not fair moss.rose,
That a poets strain might tell OF me, 49,
Or a maiden press me to her nose,
And gently, tcnderly smell OF meY
on, now bemoan my humble walkV'
And a large tear trickled down the stalk
or the sorrowfub weeping cat-tail.
"But since my lot with grief is rife, t. @
Since fate, cruel fate so decrees,,, r- -.
I'll do my best.rand the orange OF HE
will most thoroughly squeeze;
And I'll lift my head-l will indeed
And put OIL for a period, going to seed tiH
Said this very virtuous cattaiL ..-t
So 1t pushed aside the green leaves that
Surrounded ii like a closet, ~
And the neighboring plants were astonished a
Its great adipose deposic.
ON other cat-tails 1t quite looked down.
For none grew so plethoric and brown
As this noble-hearted cattail.
Bigger and browner the cat tail grew,
Till at last, one summer day,
maiden fair, with eyes OF blue,
Came driving along that way.
She had studied artistic decoration,
And gave delighted exclamation
When she saw the noble cat-tail.
She spared it not in Its noble prime
She cut it short on the spot;
But II knew ii was near Its scedy tlme.
And would rather be cut than not.
And it almost crupted its sleek, fat side
With It's feryid JOY and honest pride,
This stout but modest cat-tail
The maiden showed it to all her friends
Her captured cattail, brown and tall;
She made it bow with loops and ends,
And hung it up against the wall.
The humble cat.tail was much elatcd,
In its position so elevated,
As a decorative cat-tail.
For by its side there hung in state
Some Kensington work on hannel,
While one-legged stork looked for It's mate
From f pleasing nelghborlng panel.
And these with a gorgeous peacock's feather
And a Japanese fan all hung together
With the new aesthetic cat,tail.

Gulteau says he is being vindicated by the
American people and that he expects to he
made President at an early date as proof ol
the tender regard of the nation. The first step
in this direction, however,. e., the transfer
OF the criminal to the prisoners dock--ls
rather disheartening, and the next step, the
probable verdict of guilty, will very likely
blight his hopes forever The truth is he is
altogether too much inspired. He has been
inspired never to pay board bill, never TO get
and honest living, and to borrow money from
every one who was foolish enough TO ienu
him, If these things constitute goodness ne
has certainly presented an instance OF good,
ness unparalled The unfortunate fact is that
the people don't agree with his theory, and his
"patriot,sm" IN removing the President is
wholly unappreciated. In the words of the
