Miguel and the Bear.


Miguel is the name Of tall. lank Indian who
is now the lion of the hour in the Pecos river
settlements. He Is an expert with almost any
weapon. and can handle bowie knife with q
rapdity akin to lightning and certainty that
is deadly. He has had some experience as a
bear hunter. Bears have been growing more
bold in their depredatiOns for some months, and
have made such havoc among the herds owned
by Mr. MCKAY, a leading ranchman Of that sec
ton, that he was forced to cast about for some
method Of retaliation. Knowing Miguel to be
a good hunter. he sent for him and EMPLOYED
him to put in his whole time hunting bears in
and about the grazing territory freQuented by
his stock. AS a result the Indian has already
killed FIVE bears this season. But Mguels en-
counter with the last two came very near putting
short stop to his ''regl lar bzness'' as bear
hunter He jumped up this pair while engaged
In playful wTestle In mountain canon on
Friday last, and his first shot sent the male bear
bowling to the earth then another shot, and
its companion rolled over. pierced right through
the heart.
But by this time the male animal had regained
his feet, and was making for the Indian with
blood in his eye and death in his paws Miguel
waited second thinking to make sure work of
a second shot when the bear got nearer but the
weapon failed him. 1t was a repeating rifle,
and the lever refused to work. The situation
lever but to no effect. and by this time the des-
perate brute rendered so by the bullet in his
side. was fairly upon him. He had nothing to
do but to club his gun and go at him. and this
he did with a vengeance. but the bear brushed
it from his grasp as if it had been handful OF
straw and his huge paw clutched the Indian by
the left arm. between the wrist and the elbow
Then Miguel remembered his trusty bowie knife
1t was unsheathed in Il jffy. and he thought to
catch his antagonist in the short rib with its
keen point. but the willy brute seemed to discern
this and the next moment had torn the flesh
from the arm that held the knife
By this time it was a clear case of hug be-
tween the man and beast. AS the Indian lodged
the bears desperate blows he caught the knife
in his left hand and then sprung forward and
clasped the animal tight around the body. This
lasted a second. but certainly not longer. for
the bear was then in good way to grind the
man into mince meat. when, with remarkably
cool move, Miguel reached around the bear with
his right hand, took from his left the knife, and
in the next instant plunged it through the ami
mails side into his heart. 1t will be some weeks
before Miguel will be able to do any more hunt
ing.

The Mosquitoes Machinery.
From the London Sportsman.


Under microscope the bill Of a mosquito

down to enlarge the hole, then the pump is
inserted, and the victims blood is siphoned up
to the reservoirs carried behind, and, finally to
complete the cruelty of the performance, the

gore. and makes tracks for fresh victim. or

Saved by a Load of Hay.

From the Bradford {Pa) Cor. Philadelphia Times
II tell you what, boys, I've railroaded it for
years and been mixed up in all kinds Of disas-
tiers, but hope to crOak right here if I want to
be the eyewitness again of such an awful sight
as saw a day or two ago."
The speaker was a brakeman on the Erie
"a day or so ago." he continued, "a tall and
handsome woman got into the ladies' car at
Dunkirk. With her was bright and interest
ing boy, possibly two years of age. The child
laughed and croaked and played with the pas
sengers. When the train left Cattaraugus the
woman, who seemed nervous, got out Of her
seat, picked up the baby and started for the
rear end Of the coach. A short distance east of
Cattaraugus is long, deep gulf, over which the
railroad has built high trestle. The distance
from the top Of the trestle to the wagon road be-
low is perhaps one hundred feet. sharp and
short curve leads to the trestle. As the train
rushed over the gulf wOmans piercing shrek
was heard. looked and saw an object leapfrom
the platform into the rocky gulf That object sir,
was the lady passenger, and IN her arms closely
clasped to her breast was her infant. Ipulled the
bell-cord and the train came to halt. How
it happened cannot say, but at the time the
of oxen, passed under the trestle. Mother and
child landed sQuarely in the center of the hav
and were thus saved from horrible DEATH The
farmer was so Mortified that he jumped from his
wagon and darted up the hill. The woman,
who was not hurt In the least, said her name
was Mrs. Adam Sell and herhome in Michigan.
She was on her way to visit friends in the oil
country. Hers was indeed miraculous
escape. Mrs. Scell said that she could not ex-
plain her action. When near the car door she
was seized with an insane desire to Jump from
the train. The farmer, as he drove along, was
thinking his dead wife and daughter. When
the visitors came through the clouds, as it were,
and landed on his hay he thought that the dear
departed had come back to earth to revisit him.

The girls of New York are divided into many

from Cleveland, where her family Is popular
and, though she is a girl Of singular beauty and

here. All Europe has raved about her beauty
for three years. and she is the most popular
girl in the Prince of Wales set in London, but
she is seldom spoken of by New Workers. Yet

The editor OF the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, the leading republican
paper of the west, was interviewed
just before the Chicago convention.
In answer to the question as to which
would be ;he stronger before the PEG
pie, Blaine or Arthur, he said:
There is just this difference-one
can he elected and the other cannot.
Blaine cannot carry the full strength
Of the republican party, his rotten rec
ord will repel the independent or de-
tached voters, He is an unclean
man, and the people will not have
him. TO nominate him would be to
court defeat. He stands self-convic-
ted of prostitutiug the high Offices he
has held to build up private fortune,
of cohablting with corruption for dis
honest money. Oh, no; his record
would damn him.

BLAINE'S LOAD.

A republican journal, of the dyed
in-in>the.woo stripes in opposing
Blaine's nomination, proceeds to give
long list of reasons why the nominas
ton would be fatal to success. The
array is strong one, and all in all
will be heavy load for candidate
to carry, who aspires to the high Of
fee of President.
Here is the record as summarized
by this high Republican authority;
"During the first session in congress
he proposed the great fraud by which
the first lien Of the government on
the Pacific roads, amounting to &c.,
600, 900, was surrendered and was
lost to the government. This great
fraud was exposed by Mr.. Washburne
of Illinois. What he received for his
efforts to defraud the government is
not known.
His dealings with Fisher concern
ing Northern Pacific stock, 10 which
by his own letters, it appears he de-
sired to transfer to him for $4,000 a
lot of fictitious stock of that road, is
another of those transactions which
Mr.. Phelps, in his frantic efforts to
clear Mr.. Blaine, could not explain.
His Little Rock and Fort Smith
scheme, in which he prostituted his
position as speaker to assist a corpora
ton, receiving $50, 1000 first mortgage
bonds and $4,000 in land grant
bonds, without paying anything him.
self, has never been honOreG with an
attempt at explanation.
His arrangement with Mr.. Scott,
by which that gentleman took from
Mr.. Blaine $4,000 worthless bonds,
and, to relieve him, put them off up
on the Union Pacific road for S64, 900
cash, has not been explained by any
officer of that road, nor has it ever
been denied.
His destroying of the evidences
against him, as they existed in the
Mulligan letters pending a congress-
ioDal investigation, was a virtual ad-
mission of the truth of the charges
against him, which, if proved, would
have resulted in his expulsion from
congress. r
His opposition in 1874 to the force
bill for the protection of the colored
voters of the South, the defeat of
which has rendered it impossible for
his party to carry in Southern states,
cannot endear him to any Southern
Republican. He was persistent in
his efforts to defeat the measure, and
succeeded.
He voted against the remonetiza.
ton of silver, and when Mr.. Hayes
vetoed the bill Mr.. Blaine was one of
the nineteen senators who voted
against passing the bill over his veto.
In 1878 he opposed the Thurman
bill, which was to compel the subsidiz.
ed Pacific railroads to provide for pay
ing their debts to the government, and
was the spokesman of the powerful
lobby to defeat the measure.
The same year he was the tool Of
the timber thieves and made his fu'
rious attack on Mr.. Schurz, who was
attempting to protect the timber
lands of the government from the
thieves who were despoiling the lane
of its wealth Of timber.
The same year he supported meas
ure for subsidizing certain steamship
lines, which Senator Edmunds de.
feated.

Blaine as a Statesman.

Mr.. Blaine is a great statesman.
There's no doubt about it. He once
called Mr.. Conkling a turkey cock.
He allowed the Fort Smith Railroad
Company to sneak its land-stealing
bill through Congress. He destroyed
the Mulligan letters, that would have
shown his connection with that job.
He "slashed around" quite fanatical.
ly in a good many bloody>shirt debates
with the Confederate Brigadiers in
Congress, whom he never interfered
with in the field. He wrote some
pretty savage letters to the British
Government about a canal that we
didn't have and are not likely to get.
He tried to push the swindling claims
ofsn adventurer against little Grip
pied South American republic. He
egged Garfield into row with Conk-
ling, and he has lately written an un.
reliable political history. Is anything
more needed to prove that Mr.. Blaine
is great statesman?-[ Chicago Times
