A Night With Panthers.
Pail Mall Gazette .

PAU Mall Gazette.
We have received the following
from NJ. Bombonnel, the renowned
panther slayer, dated the fifteenth
inst, Bouira, Algeria: 'After the
departure of some guests, who had
killed three panthers during their
stay, I-found myself alone, and very
much fatigUed, when an Arab came
to me from the mountains near-this
was on the third-begging me to go
and look after a lion that had Just de-
voured one of his COWS. AS the moon
was not sufficiently advanced, I wait
ed few days, during which two other
animals, placed there expressly by
the Arabs, had been killed also. You
must bear in mind that in this case
one animal is sacrificed to save the
entire herd. On the fifth day, be-
tween 4 and o'clock in the after
noon, [ settled myself i'll my hiding

in my court of brushwood through
which my gun passed was stopped up
by the weight Of the rain bearing
down the branches. [ very gently

panther to lift up its head. I could
see its white throat, and took aim. It
fell down close by. [ recharged my
gun for could not see if my panther
was dead, the moon being hidden by
the clouds. Half an hour later heard
the noise of some large animal eating

Ancient and Modern Denmark.

The growth of population in Europe
in face of so large emigration is some
thing remarkable. During this CEN
tury the population of Denmark has
almost doubled-from about ]. 900, 900
to nearly 1000, OOO-although the in
crease for the past twenty years 1880
so has been smaller than in the
decade of $4,000, on account Of the
greater emigration. In the eight
zenith century the growth was very
small. It is supposed that in olden
times, the country was, at several
periods, relatively well peopled, and
authority states that in the tenth CEN
fury in contained as many people as
it does now.

Editorial Pay in England

Newspaper work, says the Wash
ington Capital is much better paid for
in England than in America. When
Mr.. Delane undertook the editorial
charge of the London Times he was
paid "a, 900, about 10000 of our dol
lars. Mr.. Buckle, the new editor Of
that journal, young man of thirty,
wlthoutany previous experience, com
mences his official term on an annual
stipend of $4,000, $25, 600 Mr.. Ed
ward Lowson, the editor of the Lon
don Telegraph, is its owner, and SO is
not on salary, but the two senior
editors of that journal. Mr.. Edwin
Arnold and Mr.. j. NJ. LIE Sage, receive
each a salary of $17, 500in our money.
The Standard, which is next in circu-
lation of the great London dailies to
the Telegraph, does not pay as well
as its mighty rival, for it's editor, Mr..
Medford, gets only SIS, 900 per annum.
The Daily News, the organ of English
Liberals and the third in circulation
OF the English metropolitan journals,
pays to It's editor the extremely com
Portable yearly salary of $1,000. The
editor of the Manchester Guardian,
easily the most powerful and inauen-
tial country newspaper (meaning out
side of London) in England, pays it's
chief editor SIS, 900 and two members
of it's staff, who each write only four
articles a week, 81, 500 Mr.. Stead,
the editor of the Pail Mall Gazette,
gets 1O,000, and the leading writer Of
that journal, Mr.. Miner, is paid at
the rate of $4,000 yearly. He is a
young man, and amuses himself with
literary work, which he need not do
if he does not care to, as he possesses
an Independent income from a very
large fortune. Some Of the weeklies
of London pay very handsomely. Mr..
Hutton, who is at the head of the
Spectator, gets $4,000. Mr.. Pollock,
of the Saturday Review, receives the
same sum as his confrere Of the Spec
tator, and Mr. Frederick Greenwood,
who steers the st. James Gazette
through the tortuous mazas of English
politics, gets for doing it Sc, 600, while
Mr.. T. G. Burnard, Who not only edits
Punch but writes it's sharp parliamen-
tary criticisms, receives SIS, ZOO a wear
for his double duty.

The Beaver in Michigan.

Popular Science Monthly for May.
The qulckness with which a colony
of beavers discover a wholesale at
tempt against their peace is astonish-
ing; yet, if their numbers are undis-
turbed, or diminished but gradually,
even the presence of civilization will
not drive them from their haunts.
To-day beavers are returning to
streams IN Michigan, long ago aban-
doned by their race, simply because
they find themselves unmolested, the
demand for beaver peltry being slight,
and the prices paid out of all proper
ton to the labor entailed in trapping.
It has been said that, if a dam or
house be once injured by the hand of
man, the colony at once disappears.
But that this is fallacious,is proved
by thefollowing: Twenty-Five miles
from Marquette, Mich, on the Carp
river, a beaver colony began the cree.
ton of a new dam. Though the en-
bankment of a railway ran nearly
parallel with the stream, and trans
passed backward and forward daily.
they seemed in no way disturbed, and
worked steadily on until the water

master, observing that this endanger-
ed the line-for the embankment lad
been utilized as wing of the dam
ordered the water drawn off. But
the following day the beavers had
repaired the damage done them, and
the water was at its former height.
Again and again was the dam cut
through, and as often would it be re-
paired. All Ia all it was cut and re-
paired some fifteen or twenty times
ere the beavers were sufficiently
discouraged to abandon their at
temDtS.
