WILLIAM Fl. WHITNEY.

Mr. Whitney Is the son OF the late General
James S. Whitney, formerly a politician of
note in Massachusetts. He was born at Con-
way, Mass, in 1910, graduated at Yale Col
lege in 1868, at the Harvard Law School in
1854, and then went to New York, whore he
was admitted to the bar. Whitney devoted
himself without delay to getting into poll
tics, and thereby became the Corporal ion
Counsel-an appOintive office-on the down
fall of the Tweed ring In business he was
successful, and he made considerable
start toward fortune when he gained so
much more of it at the altar, by his mar
rage to a daughter of Senator Payne, of
Ohio, that his own accumulation at the
bar was insignificant by contrast. He was,
In sense, during his early political career
a protege of Samuel j. Tilden, for whom he
labored hard in 1876, and into whose Cabi-
net he would unquestionably have gone had
the Sage of Greystone been elected. His
prosperity in business sense has been so
good from the outset of his career that he
has had no temptation to seek public office
for the sake OF money. In politics he is
wonderfully clever at organizing and pro-
noting measures for definite objects. This
quality was shown pctently in the Chicago
Convention which IaboriOuslY nominated
Cleveland. Whitney was doubtless as in
fluential as Dan Manning in bringing the
Cleveland venture to a successful issue.
1t was he who nullified the Hendricks
BOOM and he who beat Villas with Hendricks
for the second place on the ticket.

Gen. 4. j. Smith Assaulted.

One day last week Gen. A. j. Smith, who is
Auditor of the city of st. Louis, was throttled
in ferocious manner by John c. Murphy, a
sewer contractor, who rammed his head through
a glass partition. The General sustained few
scratches on the head, which were the more
discernible from the paucity of his hair. 1t is
said that the row was started by Murphy, who
demanded that his bill for sewer work, to the
amount of 5000, should be audited Immediately.
Gen. Smith, from his private office, heard the
violent language and came out to learn the
cause, when he was met by volley of abuse
levelled at himself. Astonished, as well as
angered, at the insults, the old General, without
a moments hesitation, pluckily walked around
the counter to put the contentious contractor
out of the office. but was suddenly seized by
the throat A clerk jumped to his assistance
and tried to disengage the hold that Murphy
had on the General. Unable to do this he
struck out from the shoulder and closed
Murphy's left eye. Murphy was arrested.

enterprises in which he is interested. It has
been reported that he intended to resign his
position as Member of Congress, to which he

that he never had any idea of leaving Pittsburg
as his place of residence. Pittsburg was his
home, and the home of his ancestors and it
should continue to be his home. So far as the
political interests of his constituents were con-
cerned, he. as their duly-elected Representative
in Congress, had never forgotten them nor their
wants, and, indeed, he felt sure that after his
recent association with statesmen OF national
reputation in New York, he was far better fitted
to represent them than ever before. He had
studied their interests, and when Congress
met in December he would be found answer
ing to roll-call, and advocating all proper
measures for his district and the country at
large

Saved from Drowning by a Deer.

On Wednesday Of last week three men went
hunting TO Log Cabin Pond in Pike County, n
Y. On reaching the edge of the water they saw
a deer swimming around. A boat was imme-
diately launched, and the party started in pur-
suit The deer discovering that it was pursued
at once turned to the shore, but was rapidly
overtaken by the boat, one of the occupants of
which fired at the animal. The creature was
slightly wounded, and enraged with pain it
made plunge at the boat, the occupants of
which became so excited that they overturned
it. Two of them succeeded in holding on to the
boat, but the third grabbed the deer and was
carried safely to land. Just as the frightened
animal reached terra frma his rider drew a
hunting knife and cut the creatures throat.
The deer weighed 300 pounds.

Gen. William Cutting. of New York, who was
an Aid on Gen. Burnsides staff during the war,
is one of the heirs and has been for sometime
trustee and executor upon the large estate OF
the late Francis B. Cutting. Suit has been

rather slight build with gray hair and fierce
gray mustache. Always attired in the latest
fashion, he is typical representative of New

Whale Fishing or the Coast Of New England.

Whale fishing in small steamers off the coast
of New England is getting to be a business of
some Importance. four steamers formerly
catching menhaden) having been steadily en-
gagged during the past season. They cruise off
the Maine and Massachusetts shores as far south
as Cape Cod. A bomb lance, fired from gun
held at the shoulder, is the weapon employed
in killing the whales, about fifty of which have
been taken this year. They will average 60
feet in length and % tons in weight. Each one
yields about 90 barrels of oil, two barrels of
meat, five tons of dry chum, and two tons of
bone, the value of which amounts to about 800.
As the men become expert in the capture the
whales become shy and keep more in deep
water. This will be fatal 10 the business as at
present conducted, since dead whale usually
sinks, and can hardly be recovered from a
depth of more than 40 fathoms.

Panthers in PENNSYLVANIA.

On the 10th inst, as Philip Swartzwelder was
riding through the woods between Chaneys-
vile to Bedford Pa, a large panther sprang
into the road and attacked him. The ferocious
beast leaped upon the horse and clawed Swartz-
welder terribly, tearing his coat and pantaloons
from the shoulder down the side along the leg,
and lacerating his leg from the hip nearly to
the knee. The horse became frightened, and
in its frantic plunging the panther lost his grip
and fell off. The horse and rider then made
good their escape. This is the second expert
ence of this kind Swartzwelder has had within
short time. Panthers have lately been heard
crying in the woods by a large number of per-
sons in the neighborhood of Chaneysville, and
have been seen by several passers by.
