HUNTING THE MANATEE.
Remote Haunts and Rare Appear
ances of the Great Sen Cow.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A hunter named Kelly, with two or three
companions, recently started out on a man
atee hunt. They had large marlin net and
a wooden tank for the purpose of keeping
the animal alive should one be caught. The
spot selected was a cove formed by bend
i'm the river where the water was twelve feet
deep. The net. which was 800 feet long,
was extended between stakes set
firmly in the bottom, and the hunt
erS retired to their hutS in the adj
jacent woods and patiently waited
results. Two or three times a day they
went down and inspected the net. but moth
ing was to be seen except an occasional
alligator, who beat hasty retreat through
the large meshes of the net as soon as he
perceived the danger he was in. A small
rOwboat was used in going to and from the
net, which was about a quarter of mile
from the shore. After about two weeks of
waiting they were rewarded by seeing the
floats bobbing about in a lively fashion.
Excitedly, but with sure movements. the
men took bundle of inch rope and set out
for the captured prize, who was creating
quite cOmmotion in the water and tang
ling himself up beautifully in the relentless
mesheS of the marlin net. The monster was
soon tugged into shallow water. A cOmbi-
nation of ropes and pulleys was arranged,
and he was dragged ashore. With his
twelve hundred pounds he was by no means
easily managed. He was then placed in a
tank, which was six by ten feet, and kept
until a sloOp arrived, which conveyed the
precious freight to Key West. This was a
male, and not long ago a female was
caught. Some years ago p. Il. Barnum
paid 81, 900 in gold for manatee of small
size, and their extreme rarity at the present
time would cause them to be valued at per-
haps three times as much. The animal was
kept for fully a week before the slOop
arrived, and 1 formed an intimate aequaint-
ance with the strange creature. For the
first day or two he was shy, but l COM
menced patting him on the head, and
when he saw that my intentions were
good, our acquaintance rpened into some
thing like friendship. He opened his mouth
and devoured bananas, cabbage leaves and
delicate pits of vegetables which / offered
him. During the week the water in the
tank was changed twice-once with fresh
and once with salt water; one is as good as
the other for the manatee. In days long
gone by the Seminole Indians living in
Whitewater Bay. near Cape Sable, killed
the manatee, jerked the flesh and sold it TO
the Spaniards at good price. Ten -~5
ago the meat could be bought at so cents
pound. There is no doubt that the man
atee is rapidly becoming an extinct animal.
Like the dodo bird, which flourished in the
East in the middle ages. but is now extinct,
the sea cow now passes out of existence
and will be looked upon a few centuries
hence as q monstrosity.

CHICAGO, Feb. l2.-There was an average
volume of routine business at the banks, but
no alterat ion in any department of finance,
the demand for discounts and renewals being
only fair and confined TO borrowers outside
of board of trade circles. Money was album
dant, and rates steady at sac per cent. for
collateral loans, and COZ for business names
The indications also point to an
increased ease in the loan market as
the season advances. The wholesale
houses report trade quiet, but not more so than
could be expected under the circumstances
Collections show slight gains. and are on the
whole fairly satisfactory. The clearings
were So. 100000. New York exchange was a
trife firm. Buyers were freely bidding 25
cents discount per 81, 900, and sellers asking
par. Foreign exchange was firm and steady.
Posted rates in New York were S4.SSa4 80 for
bankers sight sterling on London. Actual
rates here were at 81. SO for bankers sight
S4.S7 for long ditto and $4.S514@As554 for
sixty days documentary. The reported gold
engagements for to-morrow's steamer was
generally regarded as a bear story, as the
rate of exchange is not such as TO allow gold
TO be exported as profit.
