Otter Hunting on DartmOOr.

From the London Saturday Review
 Otter hunting can be seen in very good style on Dartmoor, on the river Dart The hounds are taken in the middle of the sum- mer to the 'FSaracen's Head, ;" at Two Bridges, on the West Dart, in the heart of Dartmoor. The old original FSaracen's Head" was brought by the Buffers from the Crusades, and this is only copy of it-a fastidious ar tist might say rough copy-swinging in an iron frame over the door of an inn, and creaking all night when the rains and the winds come to help on the rivers, a duty which they assiduously perform. For otter hunting time should be chosen when this duty has been somewhat neglected, and the rivers run light. The meet of the hounds should be early on a fine morning at Dart and the hounds should draw up the West Dart. The West Dart is much the finer river of the two; and, with its tributaries-the Cowsick, the ,Black-a-brook, the Cherry Brook, and the Swincombe-ist the perfection of Dartmoor river, flowing bright and rap i'd over 8 bed of granite bowlders richly GOV cred with moss and Echen, it's banks bedecked with the ferns and wild flowers of the moor, and fringed with the bog-1-yrtle and withy. Water holds scent well, as not only otter hunters, but stag hunters, know; and the whiff so fragrant to the nose of the hound rises to the surface and floats down stream, calling forth his musical chant of praise. For this reason otter hunters draw up stream, and before the lair of the otter is reached the welkin rings with the music of the pack.
 The otter has left his trail on the banks and on the stones where he has landed; when fishing, his spur can be seen freshly printed on 8 sandy nook, and he is very likely to be found in weIl-known and remarkably safe holt, as they call it in the West, about half mile above Dart Meet, which he shares at times with foxes, though his access to it is under water, a.4d theirs, of course; above. If he were but wise enough to stay here, he might defy his legitimate enemies to do their worst. But he knows not man and his little ways, and he has heard the unwonted melody of the hounds as they have been crying over his footsteps hard by. They mark him in his retreat, and the whole pack proclaim that he is in the otter's parlor, the strongest place on the river. It is in large rock hanging over deep, dark pool, in a corner made by a turn in the river, with old battered oak tree growing somehow from the midst, and backed by confused tumble of granite blocks. The artist and the fisherman both

Fight Between a Dog and a Fish.

The Northern Ensign Herring Circular tells curious story. Rover, known in Pull tensy as the E'pi1ots' dog,'' went to sea from Wick in the boat w K 954 While the boat was going out of the bay it was with the greatest difficulty that Rover could be re- strained from leaping overheard after the sea-gulls that were calmly resting on the wa ter On Tuesday morning, while one of the crew was engaged with the hand line, the dog took seat alongside, and with sparkling eye watched the fish as they were successful ly brought into the boat. All at once two large saithes or coal fish were hooked, but while the one was being taken in the other escaped. Rover, seeing this, immediately bounded over the bulwark, dived after the runaway, and, seizing it by one of the fins, brought it to the surface. Then most ex- citing fight took place. The fish was by no means willing to be caught in such 8 novel way and with one blow from it's tail com pelled the dog to relax his hold. No sooner did the fish find itself at liberty than it dived below, but only to appear again at a little distance. Rover second time renewed the attack, but the saithe used the same weapon to such advantage that his assailant was again forced to retreat. The dog, not will ling to return to the boat without the com pany of his opponent, although by this time somewhat exhausted with the struggle, a third time sprang at his victim, and gripped the back fin in such manner that the fish became completely powerless. Rover, now glorying in his we'll earned success, brought the fish to the boat.

Cheap Fuel for DaEota


The cheap fuel problem for South
Dakota seems to he eiIectlially solved
the finding Of rich coal beds on the

large share the road was destined to have
in the carrying trade through such associ-
ations. The SPECTATOR has previously
referred to the very full facilities afforded
the public in the many stations and ship

also eS pressed the sentiments of the PEG
pie interested in their appreciation of thei

The party Of white-cravated ministerial
Pecksniffs who SO officiously paid Their
court to Blaine, the personifcation of dis
honesty, have met with a righteous retri-
button. They disgraced their honorable
profession, and are how reaping their just
reward III the emphatic maledictions of the
Republican party leaders who attribute the
defeat of Blaine to these preachers, who
proved themselves to be 'sfools in politics,
as Ben Butler said of them, by alliterative-
ly characterizing the Democratic party as
the party Of "Rum, Romanism, and Re
bellion.'' The place for these political
preachers is cow at the mourners' bench,

FALSE STATEMENTS BY REPUBLICANS
A Fincastle correspondent, in speaking of
the canvass in Botetouit county, says
"Some of the Republicans circulated the
report at one of the remote precincts in
this county on election-day that the Dem
cratic Legislature last winter had passed a
law forbidding any person to send their
children to the public schools unless they
paid tax On $500 worth of property
This happened to be Democratic neigh
borhood, and this falsehood was at once re-
ported to the chairman of the Democratic
Committee here, who sent messenger to
deny the charge and give the facts. Had
this report not been corrected, many votes,
am told, would have been lost to the
Democrats. / do not know whether this
report was circulated at other precincts OF
not"
A similar false statement to this was
made by no less a person than Attorney
General Frank s. Blair, (and less one
than he in some respects it would be hard
to find) in speech he made in McGaheys
vile, Rockingham county, on the Friday
night preceding the election. His speech
was an insult to the intelligence of his au
dience. Blair, like Blaine, cannot tell a
