ERE SHOT gus NOT NEEDED.

Il SAO ~ NOA NEEDEzDs
A correspondent of the Boston Herald,
writing from Birmingham, Alabama, says
that the shotgun as dissuader of Republi
cans and especially negro Republicans from
voting has pretty much gone out of use, hav-
ing been superseded by easier and safer meth
DDS of diminishing the Republican vote with
the further advantage of increasing the DEM
ocratic vote at the same time. It is general
ly admitted, this correspondent says, that
nearly all the colored people are Republi-
cans, and would vote for Republican candi-
dates if they could vote freely, and that in
fact not all or nearly all of them do vote, be-
ing deferred by various diseouragements and
obstacles short of actual intimidation. The
customary way of perverting the negro vote
according to this authority is by bribery of
leading colored men who have the confidence
of their people.
In every ward in the towns cities, and
in every neighborhood in the country pre-
cincts, there can, the correspondent says, al
ways be found one negro who carries the col
ored vote in his pocket, go to speak. This
man agrees for certain sum of money, one
half to be paid in advance, the other half to
be paid when the work is performed, to vote
u certain number of men. When engaged by
the Democrats, this man is always known as
a Republican. He makes Republican speech
es, and is loud in his denunciation of the
ballot box stuffng Bourbon Democrats. This
is done to make him popular with his own
race. When the polls are opened, the ne
groes form in the line with the whites, and
vote when their turn comes. Along this line
the eolored ward boss and assistants work.
The ward boss is known to the negroes as a
good Republican, and they trust him impli-
city. He passes along the line to inspect
the tickets in the hands of the colorsd men,
fully one-half of whom cannot read. He
looks at The ticket, and tells them they have
been deceived, that the wrong ticket has
been given them. He changes their tickets.
giving them Democratic ballots folded, and
then he warns them, as they value their po-
litical liberty, not to let any one else touch
their ballots until they hand them to the
judges at the polls. In the majority of cases
these instructions are followed to the letter,
and the colored voter deposits a Democratic
ticket without knowing it.
OF course there is no need to shoot any
body when this scheme will work.

The bloodhound.

lGordon Stabels in Chambers Journal 9
AS rule the bloodhound is most docils
and winningly affectionate. He can be
trusted with children; so much so that boy
may safely do duty as ''the hunted man"
when the hound is being trained in hill or
forest. The animal is nevertheless suspi-
cious of the motions of strangers; he there
fore makes a most efficient guard either to
person or property; and his deep, ringing,
bell like voice, heard at night in his own
grounds, would be sufficient to keep at bay
the boldest burglar that ever went on prowl.
But instances of bloodhounds who, If not
actually savage, will, to use a trainers
words, "stand no nonsense, are by no means
rare. I had the pleasure of being hunted
once by one of these. 1t was in country
where there were plenty of hills and rocks
and running streams, but nothing worth the
name of q tree. We were training a pup,
and as he was already we'll up in his work I
had got quite long start, and had done my
very best to puzzle him by wading through
water, SC. When had reached a cozy nook
in far off glen ] sat down to rest q
stone; but whole hour passed and still no
appearance of my friend and his pupil was
put in. I was thinking had got well away
for once, when I was startled by the baying
of bloodhound, and the next moment
found myself a prisoner-made so, not by
the puppy, but by the puppy's father. The
dog, 1 afterward discovered, had escaped
from the stable and come to the hunt on his
own account, and here he was. I confess I
felt little uneasy. I knew the dog we'll

at man hunting. Unfortunately for my
peace of mind the bloodhound would not

HIT HIM ON THE NOSE.
If HfUnarmed You Meet n Tiger in q jun
gle That's the Thing TO DO.

From the San Francisco Chronlcle.l
It is marvellous how few white men lose
their lives from hunting, although their adj
ventures and narrow escapes, especially from
the tiger tribe are numerous. A sub-com-
missioner, who is magistrate for sub
district, went out in the jungle one day to
try and find a tiger which had been reported
to him as having been seen near the village,
where he resided. There being no white
man within many miles of him, his guard
being composed of Madrasse police under a
native sub-hadar or lieutenant. Hill went
to hunt the beast by himself, the Indian
servant he took with him to carry his rifle,
&C., not counting as an effective. He was
walking leisurely along path in the jungle,
with only his walking cane in his hand. 1t
happened to be fine specimen of the grape
vine cane, cut from variety of vine which
Hill had brought from the West Indies some
wears before. The cane had natural knot
or knob as a head, and was remarkably
strong and flexible.
AS he was looking about him from side to
side large tiger emerged from the thick un-
dergrowth only few yards in advance cf
him. Keeping his eyes fixed full on the
brute and staring into his eyes. Hill put his
left hand cautiously behind him, telling his
servant in low tone to give him his rife.
The Hindoy up to this had been following
closely in the footsteps of his master. Not
getting the rife handed to him, Hill repeated
the OrQ6f IN q 1OuQ0E GCQ0, Dut again W1tuOuG
any response. AS the situation was becom-
ing rather critical, and the tiger was evident
ly restless and anxious to get at him. Hill
unfortunately for himself, turned his head
to see where his servant was, but the coward
Iy fellow had evidently fed at the sight of
the dreaded beast The brute, who had
only been kept in check by the resolute
gaze of the white man, took instant ad-
vantage of Hills head being turned aside
and made spring, landing just in front of
him.
Hill had no time to lose in thinking what
was best to be done. He, however, with
rare presencesof mind, aimed blow at the
tigers nose-a most sensitive part of the
animals body-and, luckily for him, hit his
mark. This blow caused the tiger to swerve
somewhat in his attack, and he just struck
Hills arm with one of his powerful paws
and vanished in the jungle, whining as he
went. Hill could recollect no more, for he
fell down insensible, having tainted from
pain. The servant in the meantime having
thrown down the rife, which was afterward
found close to where Hill was lying, had run
back to the village half dead with fright and
apprised the head man of his masters dam
gerous position. The Burman villagers,
who are no towards, soon proceeded with
spears and other primitive. weapons, into the
jungle, and found Hill lying prostrate in the

QUEER CUSTOMS IN THzBEr.
Where one Woman Can Have Man
fnl Elm aEaamdas

Where one Woman Can Have Many
=Lawful Husbands.
PolyandIy is that species of polygamy in
which the wife has more husbands than one,
and it prevails wherever the Thibetan Ian
guage ia spoken, even in districts on the In
dian side of the mountains.
Polyandry is found in many other places,
such as the interior of Ceylon, among the
Todas and Nairs of Southern India, the Iro-
quois, and the aboriginal Tasmanians; but
Thibetan polyandry has the paculiarity that
the husbands are all brothers, ,or, at the least,
very nearly related, SO that the woman be-
comes the wife of whole family. It does
not appear to be any way connected with the
Thibetan religion, but to owe its existence to
the poverty of the country and the desire to
limit the population. 1t is practised by all
classes of the population, rich and poor, and
is only superseded by polygamy, or multi
plieity of wives, where the people have been
much in contact with Hindoos or Mohamme-
dams. Turner, the second of Warren Hast
ings envoys to Thibet, says that the
number of husbands is not restricted or
defined. At Peshu Limbo, the residence
of the Tesmu Lama, he has known family
of five brothers living happily with one wife,
and he thinks this probably the practical
limit.
The children are regarded as scions of the
house, rather than of any individual member
of it; all the husbands are treated as the
fathers of the children, and there is no notice.
able difference in the relations of child to
the different fathers. The surplus women
left by the system are provided for in the
Lama nunneries, where they learn to read
and copy the Thibetan scriptures and to en-
gage in religious services. The choice of a
wife for the family is the right of the elder
brother, and the contract he makes involves
marriage contracts with all the other broth
ers.
=,
Thibet since prehistoric times, SO that its
origin is lost in antiquity. 1t has been
suggested that it arose in state of society
where men were forded to be away from
home for long periods, and where the duty
of protecting the family would fall on the
brothers in turn. The notable end which it
serves is that it restricts population in regions
where emigration is difficult and where the
means of subsistence cannot be easily in
creased.
