BABY Bears That Scratched.

A. j. Wyland, of Clackamas county,
Ontario, writes as follows: A short
time since, while hunting in the woods,
/ came across she bear standing erect
on q log. She looked savage and had
her ears laid back on her neck. l put
q bullet in her skull, an inch above one
eye, and she rolled off like a bundle OF
chips. AS the gun cracked up young
cedar climbed couple of young cubs.
concluded that / wanted 'em for
pets. AS the climbing was easy, was
soon able to reach them. L grabbed
one by the back of the neck, when he
let go all holds and went to work at
scratching with vengeance. The blood
flew, and you bet l gave him a welt
that knocked him as timber as a mop
rag. / then stuffed him inside the bosom
of my shirt, as he was selseless, and
grabbed the other by the head, and he
set up yell that could be heard for a
mile. Iquickly knocked him senseless,
too, and put him on my shoulder and
commenced to descend.
Just Mt this point the one inside my
shirt crawled around on TO my back and
dug his hind claws into my back, just
above the belt, and put his arms around
my body, when both commenced to
fight me. You bet got to the ground
in hurry, threw the one on my shout
der to the ground, put my foot on his
neck, choked him senseless until L
could tie him, the other one all the
time trying to tear all the meat off my
back. 1 grabbed him by the fore foot
and pulled him, but he held on with
his hind feet. / then pulled him by
the hind legs, but he held on with his
front claws, and couldn't pull him off
either way. i then opened my collar
wide and laid down alongside the one
that was tied. Presently he came out
and made for q large tree near, but l
caught and securely tied him, too. His
long, silky hair felt nice to my pelt, but
his claws were about the size of a
raccoon, but could outscratch seven
wildcats. 1t was about two miles from
home, and after a while got tired of
carrying them, so put them down and
united them, and they followed me like
two little dogs. Oregon city Enter

Gov. Stephens DOgs.

The late Alexan der III. Stephens was
fond of young animals, and always had
several dogs about him, whom he treat
ed as If they were almost human. Mr..
Culver, his private secretary, thus
speaks of the great Georgian's love for
his pet dogs:
He treated them as almost human,
and L think he considered them nearly
so. He would talk to them and pet
them. They slept at night either in
his room or on the outside of the door.
At Liberty Hall the doors were never
closed at night, and any one might have
gone through the house were it not for
the dogs.
They slept in the library, and Alex
ander Stephens always occupied the
chamber which opened into this. A
step on the porch would raise terrible
! owing, and it would have been indeed
dangerous for any robber to have en-
tered over such guard.
There is one dog who deserves to be
known in history, and that is Mr..
Stephens old poodle. Rio.
He was for years Mr.. Stephens con-
slant companion. He loved him as an
| lnJlmtle Irlenu, ana wien lie uleu no
| shed tears over his grave.
Rio was n remarkable dog. He could
reason more than any animal / have
ever known. L remember at Liberty
Hall we would be talking about some
thing going wrong on the place, and Rio
would rise and go to the spot spoken of
by us.
He seemed to understand language,
and his face was very much like that of
human. He was big, fat poodle,
with wool rs white as snow, as heavy
as that of a sheep, and as soft as silk.
He had high forehead, and bright,
black eyes. He grew blind several
years before he died, and Mr.. Stephens
took us much care of him as he would
had he been his own flesh and blood.
When he died, he put him in wood
on coffin and buried him in the garden.
He had intended to have erected mar
bic slab over his grave, but this was put
of and finally neglected.
He never east off any of his dogs III
their old age, and Troup, Pluck, Frank
and half-a-doZen others of his pets were
cared for through their declining years
of senility and decrepitude.

The Emerald.

The Spaniards obtained large boards
of emeralds after the conquest of Peru,
for the priests of the goddess whom the
Spaniards call Esmera!da, and who was
supposed toreside in an enormous en-
erald of the shape and size of an ostrich
egg, gave out that she esteemed no of
fering so much as one of her own
daughters The King of Spain is said
to have received 100 cwt., but many
were destroyed on account of the Pc
ruvian priest who accompanied the
Spanish army persuading the soldiers
that the test of their genuineness was TO
smite them with a hammer on an anvil.
The emerald is # the same chemical
composition as the beryl, or aquama-
rine, which is of little value When
first Withdrawn from the mine il Is so
soft as to crumble by friction, bui 1T
hardens by exposure to air. 1t Is so
rarely perfect that Eau emerald with

The ancien1s dedicated the emerald to
Mercury, and supposed it to be good
for the eyes
The deep green emerald, in whose fresh regard
Weak sights their siollly radiance do amend.
The lapidaries who cut the stone
were thought to possess a good eye
sight. Nero observed the feats of
the gladiators through an eyeglass of
emerald, and the gem was, therefore,
sometimes called Neronianus-a name
conthued ss Latte as the close of the
fourth century. The huge emeralds
made into cups and dishes, that are
mentioned by the ancients, are sup
posed 10 have been green fuOr-spar, or
composed of kind of glass. The Gin
Calese snxiously seek after the thick
bottom Of wine-bottles, and cut out of
them apparently fine emeralds, which
they dispose of at high prices. The
Brighton emeral Is are of a like origin.
The broken bottles, thr own purposely
into the sea by the lapidaries of the
place, are by the attrition of the
single speedily converted into the
form of natural pebbles.

the open page that lay under the glass

Teach Children PsIiteness.

Teach children to be polite Teach
them there is nothing but goodness of
heart of so much durability as a pleas
ing department. They will lose the
idea after a while that it is smart to be
pert and boisterous, and take pride in
being little ladies and gentlemen
Teach them to say "How do you do?'
or "Good morning" to everybody with
whom you are acquainted; never to
contradict, whisper, hum, beat tattoo
with the fingers on the furniture, or
Toll around in lounging attitudes in
company; to say "Yes, ma'am," and
"No, sir, What, ma'am? ?" IF YOU
please" and Excuse me-" if il is nee
essary to pass before any one, or to leave
the table before the rest, and never to
do any of the things for which it is
necessary to ask to be excused unless it
is absolutely Unavoidable; not to toss
things instead of handing them; not to
listen to anything not intended for
their ears; not to refuse to give the
whole to visitor when half will not
do. A polite child is the best of COM
panions, but rude one is trouble
some nuisance, and will find himself
learning at 18 or 20 things which should
have been taught him when a child.

Speaking of the prosecutions Of act
ors reminds a writer in the New York
Star of very pretty story regarding
Edwin Booth. 1t was while he was
playing in the Winter Garden that a
young miss in her teens fell desperately
in love with him. She was the only
daughter of wealthy parents, and night
after night she would make some excuse
TO leave home and gQsto the theatre.
She deluged Booth with love letters,
and finally he wrote to her telling her
to meet him at the stage door at the
end of the performance On certain
evening. Sic was there according to
appointment Booth handed her into
his carriage aud gave some whisp-
cred instructions TO the driver. The
horses were driven rapidly, and in few
moments the girl found herself in front
of her own home The carriage stop
ped and Booth assisted her TO alght.
Taking her arm in his he walked with
her up the stoop and rang the bell 1t
was late and the girls father, who had
become very anxious about her where
abouts, opened the door.
MIR - said Booth, very quietly,
Il have brought your daughter home.
She has been very foolish, but she has
promised never to do SO again, and |
would advise you to take better care of
her" With these words he turned and
left. That young girl is a happy wife
and mother now, but she never tires OF
telling tae lesson she received from the
great actor.
