ConnterfeItsrr Arrested.

NEW HAVEN, CosN., Dec. 1s.-Yesterday
the police captured three counterfeiters,
James Kelly of Boston, Joseph Dunn and
Patrick Doolan, who claimed TO have come
from New York. The coins passed were
dollars remarkably well executed and they
would hardly be detected, except that they
are lighter than the genuine. They are be-
lieved TO be the same parties who operated
here successfully several weeks ago.

The Head Hunters.

The London Telegraph describes the
murder of Mr.. Witt, the explorer,
by the head hunters of Borneo: Mr..
Witt had, it seems, been making his
way to the head of the Sibuco river.
This region may he considered at pres
ent quite beyond the active adminiStra-
ton of the British North Borneo COM
pany. The governor was not aware
that Mr.. Witt intended to make so
long and hazardous journey. Attic
same time, Mr.. Witt being an expert
enced traveller, brave man and on
good terms with the natives generally,
there was no reason to fear that he
might not go through the very heart of
the country without molestation. He
had made an important trip, and was,
it is believed, on his way to Kimanus
Near the head of the Sibuco river he
would be on the frontier of Dutch BOr-
neo, and in region where Mr.. Carl
Book found the natives unusually saw
age and unfriendly. Witt had party
of seventeen men. He divided them.
Some nine or ten We're told off to at
tend to the boats. They were naviga-
tlllS IL river dlu w lIlI udl DOuSuU
boats from the natives. The other men
remained to push on ahead in company
with the explorer. The natives had
shown no disposition to hostility. The
local chiefs (the tribes are, no doubt,
the Murats, though one account says
they are Tandioeing Dyaks) had hos
pitably entertained Witt, which is
generally Il guarantee of friendship.
While his little party was preparing to
move forward Witt sat down to make
some notes in his diary. Suddenly,
from an ambush in the river, some
three hundred natives, armed with
poisoned arrows and spears, rushed
upon Witt and his men. Three of the
latter fell almost Immediately. Witt
defended himself with his revolver and
killed two of his assailants. The rest
crowded upon him, however, and
| speared him to death. The others of
his party had already run away, one of
them, who was carrying Witti's Win
chester rifle, taking it off in his flight
From hiding-place they saw one of
the attacking party decapitate Witt
while Others cut off>tle lower limbs of
his dead attendants, flung them, with
the explorers head, into boat, and
made off with the bleeding trophies
down stream. They also carried of
Witti's papers and dispatch box.

How tie Lion Kills Ills Prey,

/ once had q rare chance of seeing
lion catch and kill his prey in the
open daylight. While on a short hunt
to the north of Waterherg, in the
TranSyaal, in the winter of 1874, with
a Dutch bOer, we saddled up one after
noon to shoot a couple of quaggas
(Burchelps zebra) for our followers,
quagga meat being preferred above al
others by the natives of that country.
We had ridden a considerable round
without falling in with any, but about
an hour before sundOWn we came across
a troop Of about fifty. Galloping up
within shot, we fired, when one mare
dropped. Reloading and mounting, we
started after the troop, which had now
disappeared over ridge. On gaining
the rise we saw the quaggas failing out
in the hollow and commencing to as
cend second slope, one or two stall
lions bringing up the rear, as is
usually the case. Cantering on, my
companion suddenly pulled up and
pointed out to me lion trotting swift
ly up across the quaggas' line of re-
treat behind a few scattered boulders
and low bushes dOtting the slope, evil
IDENTIFY with the intention of securing
the supper. We moved slowly forward,
when the hindmost stallion, thinking
we were getting too close, started after
his companions at a smart caDter. 1t
was now exciting. The quagga was
close to the line of the lions approach;
couple of seconds more and the dark
mass of the lions form shot out from
behind stone on his prey. In a mo-
ment the quagga was on the ground.
The lion left him instantly, moved a
few yards distant and lay down with
his head away from the quagga, twitch-
ing his tail nervously from side tC
side, as much as to say: 81 have done
that properly" The whole thing was
done so quickly and suddenly that it is
difficult to describe. The lion had not
yet seen us, but riding nearer he turned
and faced, looking rather put out al
our appearing on The scene. At first HI

1t may be set down as an axiom that

seemed inclined to bolt, but at last lay
down, facing us, evidently unTl,1ng
to give up his game. Being anxious
to examine the quagga, and knowing
my Boer friend to be reliable, we rode
up to about fifty yards and dismounted.
l held The horses, keeping my double
rifle in reserve in case of accident.
The lien, not liking the look of things,
got up and walked few steps toward
us, growing savagely. l told the Boer
to shoot straight, which he did, hitting
the lion with his old six to the pound
on the point of the shoulder; the bullet
passed out behind the other shoulder,
dropped the lion on the spot. On ex-
amining the quagga it would appear
from the claw mark that the lions left
forearm was thrown over the wither
and the claws fixed in the shoulder,
the right forearm's claws in the chest,
the left hind claw had been driven
into the flank a little below the
level of the hip-bone, the right hind
foot evidently on the ground, thus
holding the animal as in wise, while
the teeth had met in the neck about
three inches or four inches behind the
ears, smashing the bone as effectually
as a two-ounce bullet. My two front
fingers met in the bite-hole. Death
was instantaneous. The lion was q
full-grown male with perfect teeth.
On previous occasion u riding mare
belonging to friend of mine was
killed near Wonderfontein, Trans
vaal, one night close to the wagon,
while on a blesbok hunt. The mare
was hobbled when caught. The claw
marks and the bite that killed were
identical with those on the quagga.
From all testimony that l could
gather from old hunters during seven
teen years residence in the Transvaal,
and my own limited observation,
would say that the lion uses his claws
as holding power and kills by bite. =

Smokers of cigars in the cafes in
some parts of Germany make it rule
to cut off carefully the end Of the cigar
before proceeding to smoke it, and to
deposit the piece so severed in metal
box or tray placed to hold it in the CEN
ter of the room. The trays are placed
in the cafes by a benevolent society
which has numerous branches, and the
aim it has in view is to supply a GER
tain number Of poor children with a
new suit of clothes at Christmas each
year. The statistics furnished by nine
teen of the branches in the Rhenish
provinces show that in 1881 no less
than $500 pounds of tobacco were col
lected in this way. This was sold for
$1,000, sum which sufficed to pro-
vide an outfit for over 100 poor
children at an expense of about fifteen
shillings each. The branches of the
society are steadily increasing in num-
ber, and have doubled within the last
three years,

Wandering from Home to Home.

When swallows we're building in early spring
And the roses were red in June;
When the great white lilies were fair and
sweet,
In the heat of the August noon;
When the winds we're blowing the yellow
wheat,
And the song of the harvest nigh,
And the beautiful world lay calm and sweet,
In the Joy of cloudless sky
Then the swallows were full of glad content
In the hope of their Northern nest;
Were sure that the land they we're tarrying
Of all other lands was the best.
All! if they had heard in those blissful days
The Voice they must heed say, &C.,"
They had left their nests with keen regret,
And their fight had been sad and slow.
But when summer was gone and flowers
were dead,
And the brown leaves fell with sigh,
And they watched the sun setting every day
Further on in the northern sky.
Then the Voice was sweet when it bid them
60"
They were eager for southwark fight,
And they beat their wings to a newborn
hope
When they went at the morning light.
If the way was long, yet the way was glad,
And they brighter and brighter grew,
As they dipped their wings in the glowing
heat,
AS they still to the southwark flew;
Till they found the land of the summer sun,
The land where the nightingale sings,
And ioyfully rested mid rose and song
Their beautiful weary wings
Like swallows we wander from home to
home
We are birds of passage at best
In many spot we have dwelt awhile,
We have built us many a nest.
But the heart of the Father will touch our
hearts,
He will speak to us soft and low,
We shall follow the Voice to the better land,
And its bliss and its beauty know.

Salt lagoons are met with in several
places in Apache county, Arizona, the
principal one being near the line of
New Mexico. About ], 100000 pounds
are taken yearly from this lake, and
with proper facilities it could be made
to produce an almost unlimited sup
ply. The salt is precipitated to the
bottom of the lake, wagons are driven
into shallow water and the crystals
shoveled in. Thus the supply Tor cat
tie raisers in Apache and portions of
Yayapsi is obtained, In addition, to the
large quantities required for the work
