for some time the old mans brawny hands
gripped its throat like wise. One fore paw
was fastened in the trap and Tom had his
knee in the other; but meanwhile the hind
feet were free and doing serious work. The
sharp hooked claws had torn the
mans leather leggins into pieces,
and were lacerating his limbs
terribly. If he could have used his hand,
the knife in his belt would have ended the
struggle; but to loosen his grip upon the
creatures throat, for an instant would have
been almost certain death for him.
He called for help, but none Of US, who
had tardily followed, were within hearing
Something he knew, must be done quickly,
for he was bleeding and began to lose
strength His grasp was siackening. A few
moments more and he would be at the mercy
Of those savage jaws. Not far ahead the
light was streaming into the end of the dark
"burrow," and he could plainly see the
rocky ledge beyond. A sudden thought oc-
CURED to him; if he could only drag the
panther outside the laurel, to the brink OF
the crag, there would be chance for him.
A dozen yards-could he do its
Summoning all his strength, the old man
pushed the beast few inches toward the OPP
ening. 1t struggled furiously; no one save
a mountain giant could have held it down.
Again and again the old hunter moved for
ward, and again would he have to pause and
tighten his grip about the powerful neck Of
the struggling beast.
He had almost reached the opening, when
he found that he was growing faint from loss
OF blood; objects began to grow bleared and
misty. But he drove back the faintness and
moved again. He was at the end of the
ssburrow.''
One more effort and be was out. His hands
were numb; the cliff and trees above seemed
like shadow, indistinct and tremulous. Could
he move agains The panther, nearly suffo-
Gated, had almost ceased its struggles but as
his grasp relaxed it began to writhe again.
This nerved him for one last final effort. He
moved little nearer the edge of the preci-
pice, then summoning all his remaining
strength he showed the panther, trap and
anchor" over the ledge, and sent them rat
ting, crashing, bounding down the cliff a
hundred feet into the gorge below.
And with that final effort the old man
dropped upon the rock and tainted dead
away. Yes, Big Tom actually fainted
! There we discovered their half an hour
| later, his clothes torn, his limbs gashed by
those terrible claws.
| Down below, half buried beneath loose
stones, the panther was afterwards found,
dead, with the broken trap still hanging to his
paw. Toms shot the night before had woun
ded 1t in the shoulder; and 1t was no doubt
owing to this wound that Tom was victorious
in the fight. We preserved the great beasts

THE PRoHIBETIOSEsTs.

The prohibitionists held a national
convention last week in Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, for the purpose of nom
mating candidate for president and
vice president. The convention was
largely attended, there Oeing o05 dele
gates present. Ex-G)v. ST. John of
Kansas was unanimously nominated fer
president, and William Daniel of Mary
land for vice president. The platform
declares strongly for prohibition, con-
demns the course of both Republicans
and Democrats on the subject of the
liquor traffic, and denounces Blaine and
Logan by name. The Republicans are
much alarmed at the proportions which
the prohibition party is assuming. As
evidences of which the dispatches in
form us that two Republican officials of
the national government, (Dudly, Com
missioner of Pensions, and Price, Com
missioner of Indian aff4irs,) went to
Pittsburg to induce the prohibitionists
not to nominate ticket, as it would
injure Blaine's chances. 1t is said
these gentlemen went back to Wash.
ington much disheartened and reported
that the convention could neither be
bribed nor hired to go home. It will
thus be seen that Republican agents
are thus early in the field with "soap"
to buy the presidential Office. Will the
honest, decent element of the Republi-
can party stand by and see the public
morals thus corrupted without a pro-
test There are evidences coming to
light every day, which show an exten-
ded revolt against the methods of the
managers of the Republican party.

We notice class of Republicans
who wilt, under no circumstances al
ow that Blaine can be beaten. There
are Democrats also who will not al
I ow that Cleveland can be beaten.
Now it would be veil to remember
that the election is yet months offand
that many changes might take place
during that period. Only two months
ago in the estimation of all Republi-
cans and most all Democrats, the
Democratic cause was almost hopeless,
but the nomination of so weak a can
didate as Blaine inspired Democrats
with abundant hope of victory. But
let Us watch the course o.. things dur
ing the campaign inteIligentIy and
without bias, and then on the eve OF
theielection we may form a toleraby
fair conclusion as to what the result
will be. Public sentiment has not
sufficiently crystalized yet to justify
the opinion that Blaine will have 50,-
600 or that Cleveland will ihave 49,
900 majority in New York, 80 let US
wait and we shall see what we shall

The uureliabiIity of the Ore Eo,.ian
may be clearly seen In paragraph
in last Mondays issue stating that the
Westliche POST paper of hitherto DEM
cratic proclivities, has come out for
Blaine. The cold facts are that the Post
sand has been since 1t was established
the leading German republican paper
fthe west. When Blaine was nomi-
mated it announced boldly that it
would oppose the election of any man
with bis record. But about two weeks
since without any apparent reason it
came out in support of Blaine. Many
intelligent Germans tell that sor-
did influences were brought to bear
to work this change. Will the Ore
gonian continue to attempt to deceive
its readers? We suppose SO.

The New York Independent Commit
tee says that some idea Of the extent of
the Republican revolt against Blaine
may be gathered from the fact that the
petition which the committee issued
three weeks ago, and which called upon
all the Republicans to vote against the
tattooed ticket, has already received
over $1,000 signatures. The commit
tee believes that the organized revolt
will not be much, if any short of 80. 900
votes.

that the strength Of the republic is

the people, etc. II thsrs hlI b, a
land grant given by congress to the
several corporations, covering nearly all
of our public lAuds, that Mr. Blaine has
not favored or voted for, We hope that
it may be pointed ou'. The fact ylll
be found to be that he voted sor every
one that ,me up during bis long con-
gressional career, and they were quite

what Mr.. Blaine means. And that il

statement that our country is prosper
Gus is not true And the tariff of il
has produced a result at all it is one
that threatens the nation with harder
times than il saw before. The facts
are. This tariff has been running for
thir'l of century, we will say. Be

men is known. By the aid of the very
legislation that Mr.. Blaine has favored
