Driving a Herd of Seals.
woman's Maga zine.


 The driving of the fur seal inland is not uninteresting says Frederick Schwatka. A number of Aleuts hav- ing got between the animals on the shore-most of them probably asleep and the waters edge, the latter, awakening and finding their retreat to the surf cut off, scramble further up on the land. The Aleuts, proba- biy dozen in number, form 8 sort of funnel shaped skirmish line and ap- proach the animals, that keep retiring before them. To prevent their being overloaded by exertion, which might affect the skin if not immediately stripped from the slain animal, they are seldom driven much faster than half mile an hour, and often allowed to rest. As far as possible the selec- tion is made from male animals about three or four years old, when the fur is in the prime; but as the maximum of strength and belligerency is not reached tor few years after this, 1t is easy to see why the best animals for fur have not the best places on the rookeries, but are found skulking of by themselves. So numerous arc they, and so easy to drive to the kill ing grounds, that the Aleuts, have no trouble in securing the whole one- hundred thousand in a week or ten days over a months time. There is an object in hurrying the work, as the skins are better earlier in the season. but if there be too much warm weather during this time the driving is slower and all other work is corre- spondingly retarded.
 The seals having cooled of for two or three hours, they are killed in herds of about one hundred to one hundred and fifty strong, by striking them on the head with peculiarly shaped clubs made particularly for this purpose. If the day is warm they skin the animals rapidly, killing but few at time, but if cold they can kill even one thousand or so be- fore beginning work in taking the skins. It takes about five minutes to skin seal, a work that is very se- were, although in cases it has been done by very active men in a minute and half.

But, as she was not "bOrn," her Au. trian title did not meet with any but sullen recogni- tion at the Berlin court. The crown princess (now empress) was mistrust- ful of her cleverness. The Princess Noer's opportunity came after Prince William married the big Holstein princess, Augusta Victoria. The actual crown princess went to Berlin tall, finely built, country bred girl, lum- bering in mind and body, unattractive and incapable of improvement.
 The mental superiority of her mother-in-law and grandmother in- law humiliated her. She had no taste for studying, there being, since her first child was born, pretty nearly always baby in the cradle and an- other on the stocks. The Princess Noer undertook to form her, bought lovely frocks and charming toys for the babies, gave life to the dinners and teas of her late husbands great niece, and became indispensable to the imperial couple.

Despotic Power in Russia.
 NhIra ~n Na.

There was a theatre in St. Peters burg which was paying its proprietor a profit of 2,000 roubles a month. The inspectors decided that it was not safe from fire and directed some improve ments. The proprietor made them in slipshod sort of way, without re- gard to the directions of the officers, trusting to the popularity he enjoyed to carry him through. When the in- spectors saw how he had evaded their orders and tried to circumvent them, they simply closed up the establish ment and took the proprietor to prison, where he spent several months refiecting upon the danger of play ing with an autocrat.
 Neva is a summer garden with a cafe, an open-air theatre, and a fine collection of wild animals, mixture of restaurant, circus and park. It was fitted up at an enormous expense, was the most popular resort in Russia, and the owner was 8 prince, who was coiniDg money out of the enterprise, which he ran under the name of his active manager. A guest at the place was assaulted by waiter, and com- plained to the police. They investi- gated the case cr attempted to do ao, but found themselves thwarted at every turn by the manager, who thought a man with prince behind him could do what he pleased. The police directed that the man who committed the assault should report at their headquarters the next morn- ing. He did not come. An officer went to the garden and asked why. The manager told him he thought enough fu1 had been made about a little affair already. His opinions changed, however, for he was at once arrested, sent to prison, and the place was closed for the rest of the season, despite the efforts of the prince whose money was invested to have it re- opened. A little autocracy of this sort keeps high state of discipline in St Petersburg.

"Exsernal Use only."


 Among the twelve thousand Eng lishmen engaged in deep-sea fishing there are many cases of fracture and confusion. Formerly nothing could be done for poor fellow but to take him to London in the steamer which carried the fish from the smacks to the market. For two days or moro he had to be tossed about in agony be- fore he could reeeive medical aid. and many a life might have been saved could the injured man have been treated at once. An amusing story, told in an English book, illustrates the rough-and- ready doctoring prao- ticed by the fishermen:
 One rough morning Bill Jenks was passing up box of fish from the yawl boat to the steam carrier. Tho box slipped, fell. struck Bill on the thigh and disabled him. Bill was put on board the steamer, and in two days was under the care of London doc tor, who gave him large bottle, with red label on which was printed "For external use only"
 As Bill didn't know the meaning of external, the doctor explained that he must rub the contents of the bottle on the outside of his injured thigh. Bill rubbed forcibly and frequently, and in few days was ready to return to the fleet on the Dogger Bank.
 Before returning, he called on the doctor, and asked for two more bottles of "that ere physic."
 "You see, sir," said he, I thought 1t might be useful among our men. We're all of us a-gettin' bit of a rap now and ag'in in our rough life, and whether the hurt kills us outright or only James us like is all accordin' as low 1t 'appens."
 The doctor gave Bill two large bot ties of liniment, red label and all, thinking that it \ mistake should bc made turpentine wouldn't kill a hardy fisherman.
 On the day Bill joined his smack, a poor fellow was lying Ill in another vessel witlr'brownchitis." The skip per hearing that Bill Jenks had re- turned with two bottles of physic, sent crew to bortow one.
 What cheer, old Billw shouted the crew, as they came alongside of Bill's smack. "Ull yer let's have tho loan O a bottle O your physic2 Ned Price !s tnk awful had oi the hrownchitis p Bill passed over bottle of lini- ment, and in quarter of an hour the one large iron gravy spoon possessed by the smack was filled with the "physic," and, In spite of the red la- bel, poured down Ned's throat. He liked 1t; the dose was repeated and repeated until the big bottle was empty.
 "ile's finished that lot, skipper" said one of the crew. "Hadn't we better go and borrow that ere other bottle2"
 "Well, mo-" answered the skipper. "Let's EGG how this un works first"
 It worked A wonder, for before the day was over the sick man was sitting up, and the next day he was on deck. That ere physic" was afterward n part of the vessels stores, and was used for everything, external and in- ternal.

A Great Battle

Is continually going on in the human system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the consti- tuition, to ruin health, to drag victims to the grave. A good reliable medi- cine like Hcod's Sarsaparilla is the weapon with which to defend ones self, drive the desperate enemy from the field, and restore peace and bodily health for many years. Try this pe- culiar medicine.

The farmers of this section were greatly
encouraged to see another shower OF rain
last Sunday night. This section has been
rather dry for six or eight weeks. we
can't call it drouth, but our showers have
been very light. We cannot boast OF fine
cotton crops, but we can boast of fine bot
tom corn. So we would rather know the
future price of corn than cotton.
Gardens have been almost complete
failure here. If the candidates wish to be
fed on beans and cabbage, would advise
them to visit some other section of the
County, but if they are willing to take
roasting ears let them come. We will
accommodate them if it takes ten ears and
two bundles of fodder each feed.
There is plenty of fruit generally, in this
neighborhood, and the women folks have
been cutting and drying for the last few
days.
We attended Sunday School at Barker's
Creek Church last Sunday, and as usual,
met large crowd there. The people Of
that community should be, and are, proud
of their school. Mr.. NJ. s. Strickland,
their erintendent, understands exactly
what it requires to make fourishing
school, and each pupil seems to know how
to perform his or her duty. The church
has bought an excellent organ for the
choir, and we think they have as good, if
not the best, music in the County.
We know of a young man who recently
purchased rubber printing stamp, for the
purpose of stamping his name on such arti-
cles as came in Ills possession. His first. and
most valuable piece of property, was
handsome young lady, whom he calls
"his." She now bears his name in full
imprinted on her forehead. Who'll be the
next to help turn the wheel of progress? ?
We know of gentleman in the Barker's
Creek neighborhood, who is quite young,
and, perhaps, little backward, too, but
he is neither too young nor too backward
to show great interest in the welfare of
the ladies. He called on his "best girl"
one evening not long since and during the
pleasant hours, they marched to the
orchard While there, favorite and val
liable cat. which had been out in the jun
gle and succeeded in capturing young
rabbit, came by dragging its prey triumph
antly toward the house. The young man
took the rabbit, and finding it still alive,
concluded to have race. he turned the
rabbit loose in the direction of the jungle,
and seeing that disappointed puss was los.
ing ground, braced himself for chase. To
simply state that he run equal to horse
would not be e1agerating in the least.
Down across the cotton he few, with the
motion and rapidity of cyclone, and into
the jungle he plunged, but alas! He stuck
fast and immovable among the thorns.
After awhile the young lady's father came
with hoe and axe, and after much labor,
succeeded in bringing the young man back
into the. land of peace and contentment.
We can say that the young man is known
to be death OH rabbits. CRATE.

Survivors Reunion.

On Wednesday of last week the sur
yivors of Company "F," oath Regiment
of the South Carolina Volunteers, held
their annual reunion at Starr, on the Sa.
vannah Valley Railroad. The day was
beautiful, but very warm. There were
present at the reunion about fifteen hun
dred people. Capt. John B. Leverett was
commander, and presided over the meet
ing, introducing the speakers with ease
and credit to himself.
The Company was formed near the
Church and marched down to the stand.
The first speaker introduced was Colum-
bus Wardlaw, Esq, who spoke for about
twenty minutes. Then came Mr.. A. ].
Watt, who recounted several of the camp
scenes. The last speaker for the soldiers
was Col. w. E. Walters, who delivered
very touching speech. There was origi
nally 1852 names on the roll of Company
"F." There now survives about thirty
five. members of this gallant Company,
thirty of whom were present at the re-
union. Taken altogether the reunion was
huge success. Everybody seemed to be
in full sympathy with the old veterans.
After the reunion speakers were
through, Messrs. Child and Ansel spoke.
An elegant dinner was enjoyed, and there
was general shaking Of hands by the
candidates.
After dinner the candidates for the Leg
islature spoke, and the gathering was adj
journed.
The citizens of Starr and vicinity de.
serve great credit for their successful ef
fort. Many who were present. carried
away from Starr very pleasant and fond
recollections Of the day.
These reunions should be kept up, for
they have and WELD very wholesome
influence. Our young men should be
taught to respect and admire those who
left wives, children, homes and ali for the
