STORIES OF MAN AND BEAST


California Paper.
Last fall in the month of October, three
hunters from Lake City made pilgrimage
to Cooks lake, northeast OF this place, in
quest of deer They succeeded in killing
and capturing four fine ones, and one of the
party succeeded in wounding fifth, which
made for the lake. When the pursuing
hunter arrived at the shore the wounded deer
was about fifty yards from the bank, and
while Nimrod was in the act of aiming at
the fleeing buck it was suddenly seized from
below by huge monster This incident &C.
Cured in a twinkling of an eye and the
whole matter so surprised and astonished the
batfled hunter that the description given by
him to his two companions was necessarily
confused, and it was mutually agreed that
nothing should be said about the occurrence
on their return to Lake City. The incident
referred to had nearly passed from the
minds of the hunters until one of the
three was returning from Camp Bidwell, on
Thursday last Arriving at Goose creek his
attention was called to the lake by fearful
roaring, Kissing noise. and looking across in
the direction of Cooks lake he saw a fright
full monster cutting the placid bosom OF the
upper lake and vending its way like an ar
row toward the west shore. its dragOn-shaped
front ten or twelve feet out of water, bragg
ing Its ponderous body at a fearful rate
When within about hundred yards of lane
this strange monster turned suddenly ano
swan rapidly down the lake for quarter OF
a mile ana suddenly sank from view. The
narrator says that when the monster turned
he had a fair view of it, and pronounces it to
be at least fifty feet in length, the entire
body seemingly covered with large glisteniug
scales each particular one of which was as
large as the dollar of our dads" He thinks
that from the front twenty feet back it would
average six feet in diameter. About six feet
from its horse-shaped head it was armed with
lnya ahnnf aitrbt foot m lQnOfh A lt0-
gether, it looked q monster capable of great
destruction to man and beast.

General Sporting News.

Negotiations are now pending for match
between Bogardus and Erb to take place at
the tournament to be held at Ottawa, Kan,
the latter part of this month.
D. f. McCaffrey and Jimmy Ryan are in
strict training for their fight near Philadel-
phia on June g. for $500 a side. Ryan is
looked after by Sam Collyer, and ALI Hunt,
the man that trained Tug Wilson for his
glove-fght with Sullivan, is with Mccartney.
Mr.. T. W. Griffith, practcng with the
American Rifle Team at Creedmore on Fri
day last, made 1877 in possible 200 points
This is the largest score ever made at Creed
more. 1t is expected that he will be APP
pointed on the team in the place of J. +.
Rabbeth, Of Boston, who is unable to go to
England on account of sickness. He shot at
200, 500 800, 500 900 and l. 900 yards.
Boston special of the 9th says: "Charles
e. Davies, the 'Parson,' leaves for New
York tomorrow to arrange the details of a
glove match between John L. Sullivan and
Paddy Ryan. The 'Parson' had a meeting
with Sullivan this morning in reference to
the proposed glove contest. Sullivan re-
ferred Davies to AL Smith, who will act as
representative for him, while the Parson'
will manage Ryan's interests. Quite a sensa-
ton has been raised here over the con-
templated match"
Patrick O'Sullivan, the champion butcher,
died recently at Chicago, ILL., O'Sullivan is

two men who hold belts emblematic of the
championship for fast time in killing and

ago, at the Union Stockyards, New York. he
and John Heating reduced the record made
at Buffalo, of 4 minutes and 10 seconds, for
killing and dressing two bullocks, that had
stood tor years, to minutes and 55 seconds,
when the championship was awarded.
1t having been asserted by Mr.. Barrett
that Sullivan could have knocked Tom Hyer
and John Morrissey out, Joe Coburn writes
as follows to the New York Sun; Having

There lately died in Stuttgart goose whose
ma rtial fame has extended over all the Get

still a gosling, abandoned its flock, dismissed
all recolectioas of its infancy, repudiated the

William McGlory, proprietor of dance
house on Hester street, New York, and the
Hon. Richard Nicholson made rather ludi-
crous wager the other day, while driving on
the road. A dispute arose concerning the
merits of white and black horse. The
white horse was drawing load of clans, and
the black horse was dragging licensed ven
defs wagon. With the public spirit usually
characterizing his business enterprises, Mr.
McGlory wagered 5000 that the white horse
could outtrot the black horse, mile heats
best two out of three. Mr.. Nicholson ac-
cepteG the wager. The horses were hired
from their owners. and are now enjoying
square meals for the first time in their lives
at livery stable near Giobern's on Jerome
avenue The heats will be trotted on Satur-
day next and the winner is to give dinner
at Gibbern's. Efforts are being made to Sc
cure Rufus Hatch and William L. Travers
as judges.
A CORES pondent from Cleveland, speaking
OF the arrival of Jay Eye See at the driving
park i'll that city, says: Every one here has
been anxious to see the wonderful Jay Eye
See speed. So with watches in hand, sew
eral were waiting as he logged out, and
many who had never seen him before were
greatly surprised that he is so small a horse,
but more surprised to see him turn and go
jogging under the wire and up to the quar-
ter i'll 81 seconds, and on to the half mile IN
1:14K, to the three-quarter 14S and the
mile in 2;2115; the last half in seven. He did
this with the greatest ease. In a few mo-
ments Phallas and Bronze appeared. They
went a mile together in 236, third quarter
ia 34H seconds. Cliugstone stepped a mile
in 2:3218, William H. in 2:34, both going
beautifully. This is the fastest time they
have been driven this season. The horse or
horses that beat Clingstoue this season will
be ranked among the kings and queens OF

A Whistiing Robber.
Gentlemau's Magazine.


The Russians in Ukraine tell queer story
about whistling robber of olden times, who
evidently was a person of gigantic proper
tions, for he was in the habit of sitting on
nine oak trees at once. One of the nick
names given to him was Nightingale" on
account of his extraordinary whstling pow
ers, Should an unwary traveller come across
his path he would whistle SO meiodiously
that his victim would quickly faint away
whereupon he stepped forward and killed
him outright. At last, however, a we'll
known hero, by name lila Marometz, de-
termined to subdue the robber, and having
shot him with an arrow, took him prisoner
carrying him off to the court OF Grand Prince
Vladimir. Even there he proved dangerous,
for when the Grand Prince, merely from Gu
riosity, commanded him to whistle, the
Grand Princess and all the royal children
being present. the man commenced whistling
in such an overpowering manner that soon
Vladimir with his whole family would inev-
itably have been dead had not one of his
brave courtiers perceiving danger, get up
and shut the whistIer's mouth.

A Forty Fingered Monster.

lfsVAnt tteraiu
The newspaper of Diarbeker announces the
birth of n curious monster, and gives Il num-
Der of details respecting its most striking pc
cuIiarities, its parents and the locality where
it was born. The journal does not state
whether the monster is of the male or female
sex. or hermaphrodite, but says it was born
with beard and mustaches, a perfect set of
thirty-two teeth, and with no less than forty
distinctly formed fingers. The unfortunate
woman who gave birth to this monstrosity
displays an unusual degree of maternal af-
lection by nourishing it at her breast but
owing to the cruel bites which her strange
offspring inflicted upon her it was found
necessary to draw all its front teeth, an op-
Grafton which was not effected without con-
siderable difficulty. The creature is said to
excite the wonder and disgust of all who see
it, which is natural enough If the Turkish
Kurdstan is the scene of such freaks of ma
ture, the sooner Barnum appoints an agent
in that region the better.

Where Flower oaors Come From.

The odor of flowers sometimes comes from
the petals, as, for instance, from the petals of
the rose. The petals or floral leaves of the
rose give out an odor long after they have
been gathered. This is not the case with
most flowers. A recent writer has called
attention to the fact that the sweetest carna-
ton is odorless soon after it is cut, as are
most of the sweet flowers used it cut-flower
work. The mignonette and heliotrope were
supposed to be exceptions, but as these con-
tinue to open new flowers when cut and placed
in water, it is probable the odor comes only
from the opening blossoms.

Osculation Extraordinary.

Norwich Comm Bulletin.
A rather strange incident occurred in a
yard Norwich few days ago, The yard at
times appears the meeting-place for rodents
and on the day in question a steel trap, bait
ed with stale cheese, was set for their recep-
ton. Several persons were watching the
trap when large rat put in an appearance
and walked towards the trap. He was within
few feet of it when favorite cat clambered
over the fence into the yard, The rat stop
ped. So did the cat. They seemed to recog-
nize each other. After looking at one an
other a moment the distance between them
was lessened. Finally they were nose to nose
and actually kissed each other. They re-
NAMED together few minutes, when the IA t
took knowing glance at the trap and ran
away in the opposite direction The cat and
rat we're evidently old friends, and the house
pet probably notified the house pest of the
dangerous trap.
