Big Rifle.

Hunting Scaly Game on the With
lacoochie River-Sport With a
Big Rifle.
We spent the night at Mr.. Dawey's,
on Teula Apopka lake, and left this
morning in cracker wagon for Haw-
kins' landing, on the Withlacoochie
river, where we arrived at noon, says
the indianapolis Journal. We had din
ner, then embarked in Skiff with a
man to row, and in the stern, with the
thirty-eight Winchester rifle. We were
to be taken six miles up the
river. and alligatorS were to form
the sport. In les than a mile one
was sighted lying on the bank. He
turned his head down into the water,
showing his broad side, and aimed
just behind the shoulder. ''BangW
roared the gun, and that gator threw
his tail and legs and head in more ways
than you ever thought of. He pounded
the water, and made the lettuce beds
shake and wave to where we were.
The boatman was greatly excited,
although an old hunter, and
shouted, hurrying up to the spot
just as the gator was sinking. He
went to the bottom under some tree
tops. and, although we could feel him,
we could not get him out, and he was
really dangerous to our boat. We
marked the spot, so that in two days,
when he rises, the bOatman can get his
skin and teeth, worth from 81 to s.. We
went on and soon sighted another, but
it was Prof. RS turn to shoot, and
handed over the gun. The first shot en-
tered his spine, and he beat my gator
for tumbling around. 1t was as if
twenty big snakes were turning, twist
ing, and Topping. We hurried up to him,
and Prof. r. put three more balls into
him, as he was tangled in brush and
vines and could not sink. We finally
captured him after big fight, and were
fairly thrilled with excitement. We got
him out on the ground, measured him
fair and square, and found him just nine
feet long. We cut Off his head, one fore
paw and one hind paw, and much re-
GREETED that we could not stop to skin
him. So we started out again, and in
one looking round the roots of a big
live oak. He heard us, and turned
his head down in the water. | split
his back the first pop. Then the
music began to play. He waltzed around
among the cypress knees, but the rascal
got into the water and sunk to the bot
tom and nothing we had could reach
him. Now, l know it would sound
bigger if l would write that we got
them, but such is not the case. We
afterward shot and missed three or
four fine ones. You must remember,
however, that we were going up stream,
making noise and hurrying to reach
a steamboat landing. We had no outfit
but the gun. [ forgot to mention that
my first gator was about eight feet long,
and the last one an immense fellow
fully eleven feet in length.

Mr.. Stewart Explains.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In your issue of this morning, in
speaking of the answer of Mr.. Blethen,
in my action against him, you say: '.'It
shows that the plaintiff has acquired
about $50 pieces of property On tax titles
The answer referred to does not at
tempt, or pretend to say or claim that |
acquired single one of all the pieces
therein enumerated by tax title, but
only alleges that bid them off at sue
cesSive tax sales. And the time of re-
demption from general tax sales for the
last twenty years has been two years
and more. Consequently it is no proof
of acquiring tax title to lands that one
has bid them Off at tax sale, as every
man of average intelligence very
well knows. AS 1 explained in
communication to you last
year, at the time your Munchausen
made his previous statement, almost all,
or very large part. OF those pieces of
land bid off by me were my own lands
to which 1 owned the government title,
and which used to let go to tax sale
year after year for many years and bid
them in myself, because the extra ex-
pense by letting them go to tax sale was
only about three cents for each deScrip-
GlOIl IuOIG Illdll w pay lIlcm ScNcIdl
months earlier, and the use of the money
for that time was worth much more than
that extra cost. And the most of the
balance of the lands 1 bid off was as
mortgage, devisee or agent of the own
ers of the lands, and in regard to which
l never had any actual interest and
never received any benefit or return.
And all the pieces of land were sold
year after year, for nearly twenty years,
and were repeated the same number of
times in the defendants answer, in
order to make the sum told run up as it
does in the answer, but your enterpris-
ing and accurate reporter did not dis
cover that. l.. M. STEWART.

Brewers Talk of Striking.

CHICAGO, April Nearly thousand
men, employed in the breweries, met to-
night and discussed the question of a
general strike. The matter grows out
of a circular recently issued by
the employing brewers, in which
they stated they would not en-
ploy members of unions. At Ernst
Bros. brewery to-day the men objected
to the employment Of non-union man
and struck. They afterwards reconsid-
cred their action, and all were allowed
to go to work but the ringleader.
This offered the men a new griev-
vance and they struck for good. Other
union brewers are now taking hand in
the matter, and the meeting tonight
was the result; A general strike was
discussed and much bitter language
used, but other councils prevailed, and
Ernst Brothers will be visited by COM
mittee tomorrow.

WHAT is A FLIRT?
A French Paper Answers This
Question in a Unique Manner.

Toronto Mail.
Here is a new French version of the
word fiirt, which contrasts favorably
with our English Interpretation, accord
ing to which fiirt is "a girl who acts
with giddiness. or plays at courtship; a
coquette" This, then, is the French
portrait of the bon flirteur (or, of course.
the bonnie flirteuse). 1.-The fiirt is like an
ideal fruit or flower; or like Won
derful bird which can only live in the
soft atmosphere of elegant assemblies"
Besides admiring this novel version, it
is impossible to pass over without
pleasure the delightful ease with which
the Figaro uses the verb fiirter, to flirt,
through all the various lenses. 1t be-
longs to the regular verbs, and the pres
ent tense is thus conjugated:
Je fiirte. Nous flirtons
Iu HlrleS. .......... NOuS HlrleZ
Henceforth we shall know where to
look for well of French indebted.
