Wild Sports in Fire-Land.

Beside the harmaur (guanaco) they
hunt the hiappo (sea- otter and. the coy
pou, or South American beaver, which is
also found in TERRA del Fuego. The
chase of the otter takes place out in the
open water, where the amphibious animal
is surrounded by the well-trained dogs,
in wide circle; they then close in upon
it, diving whenever it goes under, to pre-
vent its escape through the enfilading
ring.
In hunting the harmour, or, as they
call it, wan akaye evidently a corrup-
ton of "guaneo") one of their modes is
to lie in wait for it on the limb Of tree
which projects over the path taken by
these animals, the habit of which is to
follow one another in single file, and
along old, frequented tracks. Above
these, among the branches, the Tekenika
hunter builds sort of thatched staging
or nest Seating himself on this, he
awaits the coming of the unsuspicious
creature: and, when it is underneath,
plunges his spear down between its ribs; !;
the blade of the spear being bone taken
from some former victim of its own

the execution ground in baskets carried
between two coolies. Their limbs are
pinioned, and their arms tightly fastened
behind their backs, being tied with cord
to their ankles At the back of each
criminals neck is a stick, to which is at
tached a long strip of paper, inscribed
with the mans name, age, crime and fate
In some cases this paper is affixed to ar
rows which have been shot through the
poor fellows ears, but for the sake of
simplicity we will take the case Of those
who are granted the privilege of the most
honorable form of capital punishment. =:
Beside the coolies who are carrying the
candidates for decapitation, the process
ion is made up simply of two magis-
trates, who march at the head, and take
seats in front Of shop facing the execu-
foreground to witness the final tragedy.
The criminals are dumped out of the
baskets, placed upon the ground in a
kneeling attitude, and ranged in line;
or if there are good many of them, in
two or three lines. The ligatures Of the
arms and legs throw the head back into
an almost horizontal position. An as
sistant runs rapidly along the line snatch
ing away the tickets with which each man
is marked, and bringing the head into the
most effective position. In the great ma
jority Of cases the victims display the ut
most stolidity, it is said, which to my
mind only emphasizes the sadness of this
barbarous picture.
In less than minute, it may be, from
the time when the mournfuI band en-
tered the yard the magistrates ON their re-
served benches viii shout ssPanI'' (exe-
cute.) And with the rapidity of an echo
the dull, crashing blows of the heads
mans ak are heard falling along the line.
Practice makes perfect, and these Can
tonese executioners are experts in their
profession. 1t is rare, indeed, that it
takes a second stroke to send the head
rolling and tumbIing in the gore that sat
urates the ground. In quarter Of an
hour more the bodies have been dumped
into rude collins and carried to the crimi-
nal burying- ground just outside the east
gate. The heads are often suspended in
cages near where the crime was commit
ted for which the victim died, or placed
on the city walls over the various gates to
serve as general warnings.

Early Pinks.

The sort that we cultivate at Oak
Hall are well-dressed young men.
In pursuit Of our great mission OF
making young men as charming as
early pinks, we have arranged a set
ofsizes denominated Young Gents
which cover the larger youths and
smaller mems sizes. Special pat
terms were prepared for this class Of
stock, and into it we introduce all
possible style Of cut, material and
make. The prices range from s.. 50
to S25.oo. Elsewhere in our stock
are choice materials beautifully
made, but nowhere else in Oak
Hall is there such a concentration
of superiority. The generation Of
men for whom these goods were
made cannot recall the time when
there was no Oak Hall in Philadel-
phia. And'yet there is no proof of
the perennial youth Of Oak Hall
equal to that which is found in this
particular stock.

Bias in Walking.

A writer in Nature on the subject OF
unconscious bias in walking, shows that
it may in some cases be very marked.
He says: 4 began with walking myself,
and getting various friends to walk, with
eyes shut, in a grass field. We all walked
with amazing crookedness in paths which
were not far removed from circles.
myself and Mr.. Galton on the first trial
described circles of not more than fifty
yards in diameter, although we thought
we were going straight, and afterward !
was generally unable to impose sutfi-
GENTLY strong conscious bias in one direc
tion to annul the unconscious bias in the
other. | believe we all diverged to the
right, excepting one of us, who was
strongly left-handed"
A similar trial was made with eight
school-boys, when it was found that left
legged boys diverged to the right and
right-legged boys to the left. The step
of a right handed person is longer from
left to right than from right to left, and
vice versa. The writer believes that
nine out of ten strongly right-handed
persons are left-legged. Every active
effort of the right hand is almost neces-
sarily accompanied by an effort with the
left leg, and right handed man is
almost compelled to use his left leg more
than the other

A Spring Opening.

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
all at once, we should be foilcd, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations are just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. cit would be ungra-
cious to refuse; and SO, perforce, we
cannot have Spring Opening.
But we can open with a spring, and
as we write, while hardly a bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade is springing on US
with a refreshing rush. Times dull,
you say? Not to the bold dealer
that takes no counsel Of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells of abundant
sales Just ahead.

The Oil Of Courtesy.

Accurate fitting Of the parts of a ma
chine is not all needed. Oil is required.
Our life functions bring us together. our
movements and doings working together.
Something is needed to make all work
smoothly together. Good manners, courte-
sy, pleasant behavior is this oil which is
needed. Some say, what have we to do
with good manners between master and
workman2 Every creaking bearing in
the social machine means loss of power.
All heating and friction must be avoided.
Fair words butter no parsnips,n il an
Old adage. But they do much in a store
where the clerks are attentive and oblig-
ing. Customers will be more likely to
come. SO in all things The faculty Of
mastership is largely behavior. The man

/ A letter to the Inter Ocean says Down
toward the southeast corner of the city

ton short thoroughfare or lane, about
fifty yards in length and from four to
eight yards in breadth, into which Inever
dare to look when in that part of the

There is no street leading directly to
it, either from the city or from the river
It is touched on every side, by the shops
and houses of natives, for it is in the
heart of the southern suburb where the

so many tragedies have been enacted as

proach, and instances of heroic death
are the rule. rather than the ex-
ception. The national sensibilities
seem to have been almost destroyed.
Here in one year, during the ''Talping"
rebellion, | am told that $4,000 heads
were severed from as many bodies; and
for a number Of years thereafter the av-
erage annual decapitation rate was 1, 500
persons. Think of it, 1t seems as if
the ground must be crimson with the
perpetual sacrifice of guilty and innocent
BLOOD and half wonder that the stain
has not passed through this tiny earth to
redeem the soil of America on the other
side.
While from somewhat cursory ex-
animation of the penal code of China, /
am led to believe that it aims at as high
state of public virtue and justice as
that of most civilized countries, am
compelled daily to shudder at the in
human way in which the enforcement of
the laws is conducted. The torture sys-
tenn prevails, not only in connection with
the punishment of convicted criminals,
but also as means Of forcing an accused
man to confess, whether he is guilty or
not, and as means of forcing witness
to give the evidence that it is suspected
he has in his possession. If / were
writing for some publications instead of
a decent American newspaper / might
fill columns with revolving details such
as any traveller may witness here, which
would not only have the merit of truth.

A RURAL MAIDEN.

In cottage many -angled,
Ry a meado x-daisy tangled,
Dwells maiden.
Like bee dainty rover
Mid hesummer-scented clover,
Trilling joyous sonnets over,
Songs OF Aidenn.
The ch,rmed air that floats above her,
Bird and blossom-all things love her,
As she strays.
Innocence in every future,
Gathering sweets and growing sweeter,
AS the amorous sunheams greet her
With delays
From the flowers she beauty captures,
From the birds her song Of raptures,
Sweets from all.
Not an angel, yet angelic;
Fer to love Ter heart is tellic;
Edens brightest, parest relic
From the fall.
Rural maiden, may 1ife's beaining
Be tothee radiant dreaming,

Der thy way glow is sending,
Growing brighter til the ending

How to Compel Attention.

A correspondent Of the Buffalo Express
writes: "There is plenty Of careless
riches in New York-never more Lent
alters the gayety, but does not abate it.
There is daily succession of openings
in the great dry goods stores, and the
newspapers of large circulation are
crowded with the retail merchants
advertisements. There is not firm Of
any consequence in all New York who
attempts to get along without announcing
its wares in print, and the sums OF money
which they spend in that way strikes
novice as reckless. Not so. 1t is all the
result of close calculation and experience.
Il do not believe said the member
Of leading house who does the adver-
tising for his concern. shat we waste
one dollar in hundred Of the fifty
thousand that we spend every year il
the papers. We have experimcnted in
all sorts Of ways. and we know positively
that the cheapest way to compel atten-
tion is to buy space in good journals.

Judge Poland Retires.

The following letter was given to
the press on Tuesday:
To the people of the Second congress
sional district of Vermont: At the
expiration of this congress shall have
entered my 10th year. My friends
tlatter me by saying that my health
and strength and capacity for service
are not in the least impaired. If the
service of a representative was confined
to the legitimate work of legislation,
do not think should be at all over
taxed. But the course of events has
been such as to throw a vast amount of
outside work upon a member. The
principal source of this is in the pen
sion office. Since the commencement
of this congress | have looked after
nearly three hundred pension cases.
The labor and correspondence growing
out of this has been very burdensOme.
| do not speak of this to complain of
it. for it was the only effectual way my
constituents had to reach the depart
ment, and have performed the service
cheerfully and willingly and as faith
fully as | could. Some of yOu know
that my whole life has been one of in
cessent and industrious labor, and do
not feel that what of health and
strength have left ought to be ex
pended in such service, but that am
entitled to devote it to my own affairs
and the interest of those who may be
dependent upon me. | am quite aware
how seldom it is that old men who
have held much public office willingly
quit public life, and even when obliged
to give way to younger and more Wig
OrOus men, how apt they are to be
soured and to feel that the people are
ungrateful. | am troubled by none of
these feelings. | have had large
share of the hOnors and burdens of
official life. feel deeply grateful to
the people of my native state for the
trust they have shown and the many
honors they have conferred, and feel
that | have received all that have
merited. | know better than you do
how often have failed to accomplish
can truly say that | have faithfully
endeavOred to fulfil every duty and |
humbly trust that the work of my
public life has not been without benefit
to the state and country and good to
I my telloWmen. do not thlnk you VIII
| find IL successor who will be more
faithful and diligent or more watchtul
of your interests than | have been.
You will easily find one of greater
ability. The residue of my years,
whether few or many, | hope to spend
quietly among the people of the state
where ! was born and with whom my
life has so far been spent. l have de-
layed this announcement until the
holding of the republican national con-
ventiOn. If the results of that had
been exactly what was desired by the
republicans of Vermont, | might have
felt it my duty, subject to your APP
prOval, to have remained in congress
for another term.
