here. The old sinner, miserable opJects
though he is, has had six wives, some u
them Young and good-looking, anneNeu
to his harem. Soon the wind began 10
whistle through the trees, and there was
a general stampede. The grass was seV
on fire in many places and was soon
cracking, kissing and blazing away pc
fore the Wind. The air was 1ull Oh
sparks, and a dense cloud OF smoke rose
above. The natives shouted. the dogs
yelped, and poor, dazed walla6les rtlsll-
ed here and there, some escaping spears
and dogs but most of them falling. IL
requires good deal of practice to spear
a wallaby going.at full speed. Sometimes
one would rush past with two or three
spears hanging from him and a-beVy OF
dogs after him. There was a good deal
of slaughter and some scores OF wallaDy
carried in. One man was badly gored
by wild boar. 1t is only very plucky
men who will face these. They carry a
circle of stout cane, in which is lashed
some strong cord, so as to form several
large meshes. This is held so that the
pig rushes in and gets muzzled by it;
then man throws himself on the pig
and grips him tight until he is dis
patched. When they have tusks the
hunter often gets very ugly wounds. The
man we saw had nasty hole plowed in
his thigh by short tusk. The pig, how"
ever, was overpowered and killed.--Neac

A Hunt in New Guinea
HOW TIE NATIVES SECURE GAME--A LIE

HOW TIE NATIVES SECURE GAME--A LEP-
RQUs CHIEF.
Recently it was given out that large
tract of country, about six miles from
here, was to be hunted. About seven
O'Clock the natives began to move, the
men with nets first. These are coarse
meshed, strong nets, about four feet
deep, of various lengths. Far away to
the leeward of the grass to be burnt
these nets are stood up with short
stakes, each mans net joined to that of
his neighbours. The grass is pulled up
in front of the nets to prevent them from
catching fire. The owners of the nets
stand by with spears in silence awaiting
their prey. 1t is the fashion for all the
young men to wear their head-dresses
and finery to the hunt. They shave the
hair, their temples, every hair from
their eyebrows, and any other about
their face. All carry several spears
roughly made from hard white wood.
The points are sharpened, and everyone
has boar's tusk or piece of glass bot
tie to scrape them as often as they re-
quire it. Little boys of three and four
years old, with their ornaments on,
faces painted, and spears on their shout
ders, march along with the crowd. A
number of young girls go, too, to carry
water for the men. 1t being a grand
hunt, we foreigners joined the company
on horseback, Mrs. Lawes being one of
the party. The natives always walk in
single file, and the hunting procession
was very long one. The meet was at
creek half way to the Laroge river.
This was the rendezvous, where all
rested and waited for a strong, steady
wind. The nets had gone on and were
in position.
The master of ceremonies was Koi-
tapu chief named Sivari. When / first
knew Sivari, some years ago, he was a
fine-looking man, agile, and active; now
he is a pitiable object-his toes and
fingers eaten away by leprosy and his
arms and legs in a dreadful state. He
can hobble about on a stick, but he can
not walk far. Two of his wives carried
him by turn in a Melted hammock on
their backs, suspended by band across
the forehead. These are some of the
honors which fall to the share of the
wives of New Guinea. The right to car
ry their husbands to the hunting-field is

MR. BII.NkIG'S LETTER.

} We have given place to The commune
cation Of w. X. Blake, Esq, though we
think it ought TO have been sent to the
Press and Bonner as it pu:portS To be
in reply to that papers article Of last
week i'll regard to the subject matter Of
the present communication.
We think Mr.. Blake is laboring under
n mistake iii SuppoSing that the word
"immcdiatcly" in the section Of the
Statute which h" quotes, is intended to
be Of force in the face OF an appeal bv
one convicted. That mandate docs not
override the right OF appeal. 1t was the
opinion Of the c"art that the appeal stay
cd the execution Of the sentence and We
think this is right. For suppose Squire
Tarrant had been put out Of his Office
"immcdiatcly" and upon the hearing of
his appeal the verdict whereby he was
convicted had been set aside, what re-
dress would he then have for his di%po-
session ? We are sure that no one of
the officers Of the Court, or the Court
itself has any other interest in this mat
Ter than to carry out the law, and any
suspicion Of any other motive is inius-
ticc to worthy and efficient officers.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

County Chairman Bcnct has issued
an address TO the Democracy Of the
County, in which among other things he
advises our people to be magnanimons
in their hour Of victory. He says s:
"Lct us show tho negro ut oncc that the
Southern white man has no desire to
abuse the power which 4 Democratic
victory has given him." We are sure
these wise and kind words will be
needed. We do not think there is the
slightest disposition on the part Of our
people to impose upon the negro, or to
restrict him in the enjoyment Of any of
his rights hccaus. of the election of q
Democratic President. Indeed we have
seen no evidence ncr heard any intima-
ton Of alarm en- the part Of the negroes.
They are pursuing their various avoca-
tons with their usual ~contcntmcnt, and
enjoyment Of the happiness Of the hour.
and are giving themselves no trouble
over the solution Of political Problems.
Much Of this excitement prevailing on
this subject has been caused by design
ing politicians, and will wear away as
time demonstrates that these other words
Of Mr.. Benet's admirable address arc true
-"'That the election Of Cleveland means
political peace and perfect peace be-
tween the white man and the black.''
Mr.. Bcnct pays a deserved tribute to the
Democracy Of this county-And he
surely deserves at the hands of that par
ty the hearty and truthful plaudit !:
swell done thou good and faithful ser
want.

BIININE'S SPEECH.

Upon our first page will be found n
speech delivered by Mr. Blaine at his
home one night last week.
We have heard it said that Mr.. Blaine
is n man Of genial and warm and mag
nctic temperament, but wc fail to find
in the aforesaid haranguc. any evidence
of the qualities enumerated. 1t is the
outpouringo Of a heart sur-chargrd with
venom and modification and hatred.
Poor man! For wars his sole ambition
has been the Presidency. For this he
has plotted and schrmcil and toilcd and
.m]anouvcrcd and at last when his hand
was almost upon the coveted prize ii
eluded his grasp. And in his rage and
disappointment he INDUCES in abuse
and Islander, and vindictivcncSS.
The whole burden Of this remarkable
diatcibc is "Thc Solid South" 1t is as
gall and wormwood to Mr.. Elaine that
the Solid South has given 1873 Of the
Electoral votes that elected Cleveland.
1t is q hitter consciousness to him that
the Solid South has that number OF
votes because Of the negro population
in it's midst.
Is it not pertinent to enquire Of Mr..
Blaine who gave the franchise to the
negro. Verify this pct measure Of the
Republicans Of the reconstruction era
has proved to he boomerang that has
flown back to strike the head Of those
who threw it. The measure conceived
and adopted in order to give perpetual
control Of the South to the Republican
party, has hccn the means Of defeating
that party, and Mr.. Blaine is sn,arting
under this knowledge.
Altogether this speech is %undignificd,
humanity and untruthful. Az a defeated
candidate it would have become Dir.
Blaine to keep silence.

NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUITS.

There will come up before the present
session Of the General Assembly, in
some shape or other, Il bill to organize
tw" new judiciary Circuits in this
State. Fo: years there has been a con-
slant cry that the present arrangement
OF our judicial system is wholly made
Quate to the dcmunds Of the business.
This bill is intended to meet this de-
mnnd. In all probability it will pro-
vide for the formation Of two new Cir
cults. We do not doubt that the bla-
tant cry will be raised Of the creation of
new and unnecessary Offices. But any
lawyer who has any practice knows that
this is not true. Many a litigant in this
county has had the adj udication of his
rights so long postponed by the claws
slow delay" that when at length the re-
lici came, it Was more costly than it was
worth. There is a case now pending in
the Court Of Common Pleas for this
county, in which n cloud Of witnesses
on both sides have been kept in attend
ahcc on term after term of the court and
the case has not yet come to trial. At
the October term Of court for Abbcvillc
the Sessions business consumed more
than half the time of the court, leaving
scarcely three days for the hearing of
all the civil cases on the dockets.
We are of opinion that tho plan propos-
cd Will meet our wants better than any
other. II will not necessitatc a COM
pletr reformation of the judicial arrange
mcnts but leaving the Trial Justice
SYSTEM as it is, divide the labors Of the
higher courts among more Judges. All
are agreed upon the necessity of change
and the one proposed. We think will
commend itself to the country upon the
scores of efficiency and economy.
