ESCAPING FROM A BEAR.

Tie Walla Walla Journal has the
following, which is better than politics
Son small farm few miles above
Dixie, black bear was seen to have
entered turnip patch, and at once
proceeded to help himself to as many
turuips as his appetite demanded. 1t
is said by one Of DR.. Bakers railroad
hands that colored man witnessed the
Unauthorized levity Of Mr.. Bruin, and
he determined no would enter the patch
and drive the invader out. Acting on
the impulse, he Immediately entered the
enclosure and started in bruins direction.
As soon as the mans presence became
known to the bear he disco ntinued his
vegetable repast with the evident inten-
ton Of embellishing it with meat and
with ears thrown back and head erect
he started towards the son Of Ham with
the apparent intention of testing the
! quality Of his make up. The darkey
saw him coming, aud at once decided
that he did not wish to drive his bear
ship from the field, and, rather th1t
attempt it, he would leave the field him.
self. So he graciously turned his face il
the opposite direction aud made for the
railroad. The bear appeared to be
socially inclined, and willingly followed
his visitor, accelerating his speed as he
travelled. Sambo initiated him aud
quickened his pace. And thus they had
it for sometime straight up the railroad
run bear, run man, and the devil take
the hindmost. Suddenly the colored
man heard rumbling noise down the
track, and knew at once that the whca,
train was coming. In short time i,
hove 10 sight, running at the rate Of
thirty Eve miles an hour. When the
train came in sight the colored mar
jumped from the track and continued
his wild flight on the side of it. The
bear also heard the noise, and looking
around, saw the iron horse, with its COW
catcher aud terrible. Wheeling and putting
rushing madly upon him. He seemed
to lose all thought Of the man, and
turned his attention to the new foe
which threatened him. Rearing defiant
ly upon his launches with bis fore feet
extended, he snarlingly awaited the
oncomiug train. He hadn't long te
wait, aud the ponderous engine, with its
long and heavy.laden train, struck bold
bruin amidships, aud in jifiy sent him
to the happy hunting grounds to join
the members Of his family who had
preceded him. He was skinned on the
spot, and the colored man who had been
racing with him enjoyed hapless bruin
for supper. So it happened, that instead
Of some Of the niger going into the bear
some of the bear went into the niger.
The darkey was elected in that race
by railroad influence and then icasted.

An idaho Mica Property !.

A mica mine, known as the Muscovite,
says the Oregonian, was discovered in
the hills Of Idaho, at an elevation of
5000 feet above sea level, in Latah
county. Its present owners are the
Peck Brothers Of Chicago, G. f. Gordon
of Milwaukee aud G.. B. Dennis Of
Spokane Falls, who is now rusticating
with his family at tho mines. r.
Shauks, gentleman Of sterling worth
and ability, and of experience in mica, is
the superintendent. About ia tons
are now ready for cutting. The ledge
is from five to eighteen feet wide, with
a3OO-foot drift and five slopes. About
two tons per day can be taken out, as the
drifts and slopes now are. From all
appearances the supply is inexhaustible.
The mining, comparatively speaking, is
not expensive. The ores are brought to
the surface by tram, no pumping, no
water in the drift or slopes, no expenses
on timber, as adjacent to the mine are
millions Of feet. Sheets l4x16 inches
have been mined, which is extra large.
The quality is superior to the North
Carolina or Black Hills mica, being
clearer and splitting finer. Shipments
are made to Chicago via Moscow, which
is the Muscovitte's supply and shipping
point. This mine is only ten miles from
the newly discovered Ruby creek mines,
which are exciting Latah county from
sAsd to end. S. S. Rogers of Lewiston
itsA6 foe mica prospect three quarters of
a mile from the Muscovite. At no dis
tant day this region will be all hustle
and activity. With the argentiferous
galena Of the Ruby, the enormous de-
posits Of mica, the fine agricultural
region closely adjacent, the vast forests
Of fne timber, all affords facilities for
the new county Of Latah to put her
foremost 10 the van.-.Sun.

DR.. Peter Hood, of London, in a communi-
cation to The Lancet, calls attention to an
article published by him in the same journal
some twenty years ago, on the value of cal
cium carbonate in the form of calcined oy-
ster shells, as the means of arresting the
growth of cancerous tumors. In the case
which he then reported, that of lady
nearly so years old, the growth sloughed
away and left healthy surface after a
course of the remedy in question, as much
as would lie on a shilling being taken once or
twice a day in a little warm water or tea
He now reports another case of schirrus of
the breast in the wife of a physician, in
which the treatment was followed by an ar
rest of the growth and a cessation of the
pain, the improvement having now lasted
for years, and no eXcrudescence having thus
far occurred DR.. Hood says that the rem
edy can do no harm, and that the prima
facie evidence in its favor is certainly
stronger than that on which rests the use Of
chian turpentine, SO eagerly resorted to by
the profession. He would restrict the trials
to well marked cases of schirrus, and no
benefit should be looked for in less than three
months. New York Tribune
