Six Grizzlies Slain.

[C f. Blackburn In the Sail Luke Tri5une1
Not long since was riding toward Cloud
Peak and had gone only three miles when
discovered two enormous grizzlies down in a
horseshoe canyon. / left my pony, went to
the canyon wall and opened fire on the enemy.
The bears were five hundred yards away. My
first shot wounded one of the monsters. and the
wounded one Immediately attacked the other
bear. They fought desperately for Is minutes.
1t was terrible encounter; the beasts would
strike, bite and roll around, giving frightful
growls enough to scare fellow even at the
top of the canyon The wounded bear was
beaten by its antagonist, after which / shot the
victor They were both ferocous looking ami
mails, and the two would weigh over 1900
pounds. Their tusks measured three inches
claws four inches, feet IA inches and the bears
were ~ feet long.
Leaving these two bears ] walked over a
ridge not more than mile away and came on
to four more, two black and two silver-tip
bears. They did not see me, and my position
was good one on the lee and near a nice
smooth crag of granite. Slipping on pair of
mocassins l was soon on the top of the granite
knob, $50 feet above ground. j opened fire
immediately, only 200 yards killed two the
first shot, and soon had them all rolling down
the mountain together. 1t was an exciting
time; the four bears made a terrible noise
Bawling and deep growls, mingled with keen
making sound rivaling the very hall of pan
demonium itself.
In a few minutes all was quiet save the pass
ing breezes through pine boughs and few
squalling ravens | listened closely for more
bears and could occasionally hear their peculiar
whistle across on the opposite mountain. But
none were in sight After seeing large eagle
swoop down among the pines, catching grouse,
/ descended from my rocky knob and ventured
up to the bears. There they all lay in heap,
all dead and in the gulch together. Those six
bears would weigh over 1000 pounds.

The Earthquake.

Very perceptible shocks of earthquake were
felt in various parts of this country on Sunday
afternoon last. In almost every part of the
New England States it was felt more or less
severely. In Pennsylvania and New York the
quiver was very distinctly felt, aud reached as
far south as Baltimore and Washington.
The earthquake though very unusual Wis
itaton for this section, was not the first of the
kind In November, 1755, there was shock
in Massachusetts, which overthrow walls and
chimncys. The rocking of the earth was very
marked, and was accompanied by a roaring
noise. The waters were conyulsed with such
force as 10 kill fish. In 1870, in the Eastern
and Middle States, very distinct shock was
felt. The disturbance was SO mild that thou
sands within the region Of the shock failed to
perceive it.

BREAK OF ENGLISH CHOLERA.
The area affected by the plague seems to be
widening, though the number of deaths at
Marseilles and Tonlon have very much di
minished. The intense heat of the past week
has been very unfavorabe, and caused large
mortality among those attacked by the disease
At Vogue, France, 30 per cent of its population
of 750 are under treatment, with All average
daily mortality of about four. Various towns in
Italy have been visited by the epidemic, but
only isolated deaths have occurred
Last week 5000 people who had fed from
Toulon returned TO their homes, and through
out the infected districts trade is reviying and
the outlook is much more encouraging. The
newspapers in France now speak of the cholera
as 4 thing OF the past.
The English cholera has appeared in several
districts of Lancashire and is making consider
able headway. The number of persons stricken
with ii exceeds 200, but few deaths occur. The
doctors attribute the outbreak TO the excessive
heat and the use of improper articles of food.
DIR. Koch, the great authority on cholera, is
of opinion that the delta of the Ganges is the
real home of the disease, and that the religious
pilgrimages in India greatly promote its
spread.

The hostilities which have been threatening
so long between France and China have at
length commenced, but so far the French have
not been very active in hostilities-a fact which
greatly emboldens the Chinese. Last week
they destroyed the forts at kelung and retired.

gated the trouble, as he has never had q
friendly feeling for Americans. He imposed
fines and sentences of imprisonment upon IL
men employed at the depot, including the train
dispatcher and telegraph operator, without al
lowing them a trial. As soon as the matter
was brought to the notice of Minister Pacheco,
Federal orders were sent for their release, but
instead of complying with these orders the
Mayor compelled the prisoners to clean the
streets. The Federal authorities, however, in
tend TO take prompt and just action to avoid
further trouble.

The crons.

The Department OF Agriculture reports the
condition Of the cotton crop improved in Yir-
ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. In
North Carolina and Georgia its average status is
unchanged since the July report. In South Caro-
lima, Florida and Alabama excessive rains have
caused weedy growth and shedding of forms,
and has prevented cultivation. In Texas the
drought causes serious apprehension for the
success of the crops. The tobacco crop through
out the country promises fine yield.
