ON A BEAR HUNT.
How Grizzlies Seize Each Other When
Struck by a Bullet.


Struck by Bullet.
Several days ago Hendrick, the
hunter, was camped on Bear river, in
Colorado. With him was young
tenderfoot just from the East. Trapping
was pretty good and the two men let
the meat supply of the camp run down
until there was nothing left but Gn
trappers' phrase coined for city society
''sow abdomen. SO one evening the
hunter and the tanderfoot started out
after fresh meat.
They soon found it, for scarcely a
mile from camp they ran on to a whole
family of grizzlies, half 4 dozen in all.
AS the bear family showed decided
inclination for closer acquaintance,
the Introduction at once took place. the
rifles of the hunters serving as masters
of ceremonies. Though the men fired
as fast as they could and bear after
bear was knocked down, the brutes
rose to their feet again, and the bruin
family still came on. The rifles kept
up their incessant crack, however, and
at distance of twenty yards the old
shc-bear, the leader of the family, fell
to rise no more. Forty shots had now
been fired, and with only three cart
ridges left between them the hunters
were glad indeed to see the remainder
of the savage family party turn tail and
disappear among the surrounding rocks
and bushes.
On examination eight bullet holes
were found in the old she-bear. five of
the eight having lodged in vital parts.
The next morning the hunters took the
bloody trails leading in various direc-
tons, and in an hours time all the re-
naming bears were found dead. making
six bears bagged in a bunch.
During the fight the wounded brutes
INDUCED frequently in, their singular
custom, called in hunter and trapper
parlance shaking up" Whenever
bear was struck by bullet it would ut
once seize one of its companions and
rough and tumble fight would ensue.
The old she-bear on several different
occasions grabbed her cubs and tossed
them high in the air, catching them as
they fell, and numerically ''chawing'
them. 1t was to this singular custom
that the hunters probably owed their
lives, rs it delayed the progress of the
ferociouS family until the deadly rifles
were able to check it entirely. Ciey

EMPRESS OF LOTA.
a Ricl Woman Who Is n Potentate in the
Heart of a Free Republic.

Heart OF Free Republic.
notice IN interesting paragraph in
an English journal which informs us
that Leith firm has just completed a
handsome screw steam launch, which,
has been built to the order of Mrs.
Couteno, a South American lady. who
is reported to be the richest woman in
the world. The launch, which is built
of steel, is twenty-five feet in length.
and is to be employed as tender to
her large yacht. (The large yacht is
engaged at present in the unpretend-
ing but profitable trade of carrying
coal from Lota to ValparaiSo.) 1t is
deliberately fitted up in polished ma
hogany and is to be dispatched forthwith
by one of the mail steamers from Liv-
erpool for conveyance to Chill.
Besides being the richest lady in the
world, she also enjoys the singular
privilege of being Empress over tract
Of territory called Lota. which lies
some two or three hundred miles south
of the port. 1t may appear strange to
speak of al Empress in the heart of a
free republic, but nevertheless the
fact exists, and so absolute are her
Majesty's powers that there are few
of her subjects who would be
resolute and courageous enough to
claim the possession of their own inn
mortal souls, or who would not be pre-
pared to deny that on the making of
the place a special arrangement was
made with reference to coal dpDOsitS
between the Divinity and the reigning
monarch.
During her absence the Government
is carried on. much as it is in Ireland,
by means of Ficeroy, with this eNcep-
ton, that while the Irish are not in
frequently gebellious and troublesome
and actually lay claim to the the right
of having slight say in their destinies
either in this world or in that which is
to come, such a supernatural effort
never enters the simple and uncOm-
planning minds of the population of
this remarkable portion OF Gods foot
stool. And why should it be other
wise? The Viceroy, or boss Pasha,
and his court have been so long accus-
toned to licking and cleaning the boots
of their sovereign mistress, and passing
along their own in return to their
subordinates. who perform similar
but humber task, and keep the ball
rolling always downward, that it would
be at once a dangerous and unkindly
action to persuade them that they are
featherlesS bipeds and not officiating
automatons.-PdnGma Star.
