Tom Clyma, Of North Butte, captured by
means Of steel trap few days ago an animal
supposed to be marten. In some respects the
animal resembles fox and is quite curiosity.
The most singular thing about the uuadruped
If report be true, is that the legs on one side of
Its body are several inches shorter than those on
the other side. Should such prove to be the
case. the creature Is undoubtedly a gyascutus
an animal always exceedingly rare, and which
has long been thought extinct. 1t is never
found In other than billy regions. its peculiar
structure uniting for country By reason
OF Its peculiar one-sided development the pyas-
eutus is, however. adapted for living on noun
tains aud hills. 1t can walk with ease on the
side OF steep slope. where even q goat would
have precarious foothold. The animals strange
structure, unfortunately is in one respect a
great disadvantage. While it can travel around
hill from right to left with the utmost ease. It
cannot retrace its steps. So long as its left side
Is toward the hill the creature stands as firmly
as tree. but If 1t is obliged to turn the other
way its footing Is lost Immediately and it rolls
helplessly to the bottom Of the slope
hunters Of the gyascutus, whose fur was held
in high esteem, used to avail themselves of this
fact to capture the animal. 1t was useless to
pursue gyascutus on its chosen path, as the
animals locomotive arrangements gave 1t ex-
ceptional speed. The hunters therefore. adopted
the artihce Of travelling around the hill in a
direction contrary to that pursued by the ami
NAL and meeting it face to face had no dif6cultv

and without regard to times and places Two
men VIII come into the spacious parlor of a
club; the air. though warm, is much purer and
cooler by five degrees, than the furnace-blast
of the streets that they have left. The incom-
ers are entirely comfortable until one of them
notices that the windows are shut Then they
remember the formula fresh air. the win
dows are ordered open; in comes the heated
gust from without laden with the animal refuse
that forms the chief ingredient of the dust in
our large cities. These Intelligent gentlemen
draw near the open window; they nhale the

their formula, "a little fresh air. they have
cleared their consciences and are happy And
In travelling, what do we not suffer from this
ignorant conception of fresh air." We have all

Dipping their sides within the liquid breast

NJ. Ehicrs AS n Duellist.
no 10,


We suspect that it will be news to most read
ers that even the solid and sober Theirs once
yielded to the temptation which lies in wait for
every French pnblicist and statesman, and
fought duel. The story is little known, but
its narrator In the columns of La France guar
antees its truth. When he was twenty years
old, and studying at AK, he was Hospitality re-
ceived by local family of some competence
and fell in love with the daughter of the house
He made her an offer of marriage and was ac-
cepted, and though his means were not so large
as the father thought such girl as his might
htly claim, the young student was at last
adopted as his son-in-law. The marriage was
delayed, however. until NJ. Theirs could show
that he was capable of securing an independent
position by his own eXertiOns. The future his
tOrian of the Consulate and Empire betook him
self to Paris. in order to attempt to solve the
fearful problem OF success or failure in public
life. The severity Of the struggle cooled his
passion for the beautiful SOutherner. At first
he wrote to her frequently, next at inter-
walls; finally, not at all. The father of
the maiden became indignant, and wrote to
the ambitious young man reminding him of his
betrotfal. Theirs made no reply. The young
lady of Provence had become of no Importance
to him. and he was quite cOntented that she
should take another man for her husband The
father, however was not satisfied with the
silence of his daughters betrothed and Jour
neyed to Paris In order to see whether he was
still alive, and If he was alive, to bring him to
a reckoning One fine day, having discovered
the lodging Of the young Theirs, the hOtheaded
man OF the South presented himself to the faith
less lover, and babe him choose between two
alternatives-his daughter or O pair Of pistols
Theirs was no fighter. but he thought it better
to ''spend five minutes with weapon which he
did not understand than to spend life with q wo-
man whom he understood only too we'll" So SAYS
the narrator, who does not conceal the extreme
selfishness Of the ambitious young man. The
duel took place. Theirs, who felt that he was
at heart the wronging party. shot purposely In
the air, and he hoped that the angry father after
the Gallo manner would be content with
similar pretense. But the father was not a
Partisan. He was determined to revenge his
child and himself. His bullet passed through
the hat Of the future President If NJ. Theirs
