WOLVES IN FRANCE.
The Number Destroyed During the Year
1883.

1883.
France is still infested in some parts
with wolves, and although these formi-
dablc animals do not generally cause
much loss of human life, it only re-
quires really cold winter to render the
wolves dangerous and destructive to the
pocr husbandmen and villagers of the
Mouse and the Vosges Formerly,
many French departments We're pro-
vided with louvetters, gentlemen who,
in return for the title and privilege of
wearing a gallant and most piquant
uniform, undertook to keep the district
free from louvine incursions. A short
time back, however, these honorable
and venerable dignities were suppressed,
the Minister of Agriculture being con-
tent with setting aside annually sum
of money, out of which prizes are
awarded for each wolf killed. The
Minister of Agriculture has just issued
the official returns of the wolves de-
stroyed during the year 1888. No few
er than 1888 wolves were killed in one
way or another Of these, 81 were
with Young, and 493 were cubs; the re-
mainder being full-grown animals.
Nine well authenticated cases of per
sons being attacked by wolves were re-
ported, but it is not said whether any
lives were destroyed or not. One hum
dred and three thousand seven hundred
and twenty francs (f4,148 los. 8d.)
were distributed as rewards, which
varied according to the Importance of
the capture. But perhaps the most in
teresting part of the report is that which
tabulates the number of animals de-
stroyed in each department.. The Peri
cord and eastern counties suffer most
from the ravages of these animals. The
Dordogne heads the list with 131; the
Meuse, 122; Haute-Meuse, 80; Meurthe-
et-Moselle, 81; Vosges, II; Haute-
Vienne, II; Charente, 66; Correze, So;
Creuse, 43; Aube, 40: other counties
following with lesser totals During an
exceptionally severe winter exciting
sport may be enjoyed either in the
Vosges, the Dordogne or the Cote dor;
local guides and attendants are readily
obtained, and the poor peasantry are
ready thankfully to render any assist
ance to the hunters who help to rid
them of their treacherous and destruct-

Braun, ''or have you been drinking?n
And turning to Schmidt No. 2, he said:
''You are here already. You cans well

Schmidt No. did not know what to

The orderly drew up his shoulders
and cast look towards Heaven, as if
he was going to pray, and stumbling
over his own feet, he opened the door.
Lieutenant Schmidt No. entered.
The orderly sneaked in also. He
wanted to see how this thing was going

"Why, Heavens preserve us! You
are, also, Schmidt No. % said Braun.
s'How many of you are there?"
Captain, you will excuse me, but
I am Schmidt No. /. :"
Old Braun put both hands to his head
to steady his brain, then said: "But
that is not possible. If you were

father and the father of Schmidt No

could not be here. My poor brain

GENERAL MORROW
Being Pushed by His Friends for
Judge Advocated General.

General Henry A. Morrow, of Michl-
gan, now the colonel of the Twenty
first infantry, has been brought forward
by his friends as candidate for the po-
sitien of judge acknowledgement of the
army, the impression prevailing that
General Swain will soon be retired.
General Morrow's attainments as a
lawyer, and his distinguished record as
a soldier, make him eminently fitted for
such a position. General Morrow, as
colonel of the Twenty-fourth Michigan,
served in the same division, and some
times in the same brigade, with the
editor of the Sunday Herald, who can
testify to his conspicuous gallantry and
efficiency in the field. On the first day
at Gettysburg his regiment fought mag
nificently and lost heavily, having four
color-bearers killed and three wounded.
In the Wilderness, where he captured
stand of coiors, General Morrow was
severely wounded"
The above extract is from the Sunday
Herald, of Washington. D. O., and the
fattering notice of the distinguished
soldier who commands the United
States troops at Fort Sidney, is we'll
merited. The officers of the army in
this vicinity concur with the editor of
the Washington Herald in the opinion
that General Morrow's attachments fit
him admirably for the position of Judge
advocate-general. General Morrow was
wounded three times during the war of
the rebellion. Since that war he has

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Remarkable Cure Of a Horse.

Col. James L Fleming, a prominent
FRO cry merchant member of the firm of
Fleming Lotion, augusta. Ga, makes
the following statement of the treatment of
Il valuable horse with Swift's Specific:
In the fail of 1888 had a valuable colt
taken with severe case of Pinkeye, which
resulted in the most fearful case of blood
poisoning have ever seen. After eight o.
nine months of doctoring with every
remedy that C uld hear OF, despaired of
cure. At this time the horse was unable to
move. because of swollen limbs. His right
hind leg was as large as a mans body, and
had on 1t over forty running sores He had
also number of large sores on his
body and other limbs. He was a most
pitiable looking object, and Twas advised
to end his sufferings with the shot gun. He
was valuable animal, and did not want
To lose him. After racking my brain in search
for another remedy more eficacious, ]
thought of Swift's Specific. knew it was
purifier, and why should it not be for the
animal AS well? did not hesitate, but sent
last July, to Atlanta for a supply.
began the treatment with 4 OF of 8. 8. 9.
and OF. OF water three tim day This
continued for a week. Then I increased
a week. Then l increased to s OF. and run Ii
week when went back to OF. again. The
result was that at the end of the first week
the horse had fair appetite which he had
not had since his sickness. At the END ~
the second week even greater Improvement
was apparent. for many of the sores were
healing nicely, and the horse manifested a
desire to move about. At the end of the
third week he gan to show gain in flesh
and had full appetite. The swelling had about
disappeared. fused in all about 15 bottles
of Swift's Specific, and when quit its use
the horse had only four small sores left on
him. and they healed up Immediately.
In August last all symptoms of the disease
passed away, and up to date no signs of the
return of the trouble have made their APP
pearance, and the horse has done a mules
work on my farm.
l regard it one of the most remarkable
cures l have ever known. Thus this great
medicine has proven boon to the animal
as well as to the human race.

men on board, sailed out of Port
Philip Bay, Victoria, and was never
seen again. On the 26th, of Decem-
Der huge white shark was caught
at Frankston, small village near
Melborne. Some of the loungers
on the beach facetiously suggested
that relics of the missing crew might
be looked for inside the fish. The
shark was cut open and in its stom-
ach were actually found human
hand, a mass of sodden rags, brok-
en- wooden pipe and a gold watch
and chain. The watch was imme-
