Gen. Crook and the Bear.
A. LINCOLN.
May IS, 1884.

General Crook has of late years lost
his interest in deer-huntine, says the
Omaha Bee, but it is said of him that
he will go IA thousand miles for the
chance of shot at a bear. and when
he goes he generally gets the bear.
Once, several years ago, he was on a
bear-hunt in the Big Horn country
with two or three gentlemen. They
had tracked the bear into a big tule
or cat-tail swamp, and had just en-
tered in pursuit when the tules part
ed and monstrous bear appeared
and charged for General Crook, who
was nearest to him. One of the
gentlemen, in describing the Incl.
dent, said: 1.-THE animal was not
more than twenty-five feet from
Crook, who stood still without NOV
ing a muscle. The outline of his
figure and face stood against the
background of the sky as clear as a
cameo. The bear came rushing with

opened there was but one boy, who.
after being admitted, picked up the
stick, and throwing it at the nail, hit
it every time. "HOw is this ?'' said
the overseer. "What have you been
doing ?" And the boy, looking up
with tears in mis- eyes, said "You
see, sir, [ have mother, and we are
very poor. I have no father, sir,and
| thought 1 would like to get the
place and so help all / can, and after
going home yesterday 1 drove nail
into the barn and have been trying
ever since, and have come down this
morning to try again." The boy
was admitted to the place. Many
Years have passed since then, and
this boy is now prosperous and
wealthy man, and at the mills he was
the first to step forward with a gift
of $500 to relieve the sufferers. His
success came by perseverance.

VOOdoOism in Georgia.

A strange case of VoodoOism was
reported at Atlanta, Ga, Wednesday.
In Sandersville about month ago
the wife of the Rev. Tom Thomas,
one of the most religious colored men
in the community. felt peculiar
pain in her limbs, which gradually
enveloped the entire body. Instead
of yielding to ordinary physic each
dose administered seemed to augment
her suffering, and finally it dawned
upon Tom that his wife was bewitch.

Cheevers, half. breed Indian, noted
for his knowledge of occult sciences.
preached told Tom that his wife had
been poisoned with rattlesnake
poison by neighbor, and that had
three days more delay been made
she would have been dead. He could
save her though, and for the sum of
S18 undertook to antidote the poison.
His medicine would. he said, at II
O'Clock on certain day make her
sick almost unto death, but after that
she would get well. The poison I'M

doctor went to Toms to find out the
poisoner. This he pretended to ac-
complish with talismanic bali pen
dent from a string. The neighbors
ssembled, and the ball was held up
in front of each as his name was
called, until Boston May was reached
when the ball few toward him, and
the man, though denying it, stood
accused. Old man Jerry's well, on a
lot adjoining Toms, began boiling
up last Monday, and whenever
bucket of water is drawn it begins to
foam and run over a la seidlitz pow
der, until the bucket is empty. The
wondrous little ball also lays this

doctor says the cause is little bottle

The Reward OF Perseverance.

At one of the mills IN the city Of
Boston boy was wanted and piece
of paper was tackled on one of the
posts, so that all the boys could see it
as they passed by. The paper read I:
"Boy wanted. Call at the Office to-
morrow morning." AT the time
named there was host of boys at
the gate. All were admitted but the
overseer was little perpiexed as to
the best way of choosing from so
many and said: "Now. boys, when
/ only want one of you how can l
choose from so many?" After think
ing moment he invited them all
into.the back yard, and driving a
nail into one of the large trees and
taking short stick, told them that
the hoy who could hit the nail with
a stick little distance from the tree
should have the place, The boys
all tried hard, and, after three trials,
each failed to hit the nail, The boys
were told to come again next moro

There is certainly some considera-
ton due compositors. They are not
overpaid and every piece of poor
manuscript makes a difference. An
article written so villainously as to
take twice as long to set it up as it
ought to take, just doubles the work
or divides the earnings. If this is
not stark robbery, it is form of i'm
position which touches it very close

Lincoln Thanked the Methodists.

The following is a copy of letter
from President Lincoln in his own
handwriting, written in response to
a resolution adopted by the West
Virginia Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference in 1861 in regard to the pros
ecution of the war. The letter is
now in the possession of Rev. H. d.
Stauffer, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, at Caldwell, O.:
GENTLEMEN In response to your
address, allow me to attest the accur-
acy of its historical statements, in
dOrse the sentiment it expresses, and
thank you in the nations name for
the sure promises it gives. Nobly
sustained as the Government has
been by all the churches, l would ut
ter nothing which might in the least
appear .invidiOus against any, yet
without this church, not less devoted
than the rest, is, by its greater num-
Ders, the most important of all. 1t
1t is no fault in others that the Meth
odist church sends more soldiers to
the field, more nurses to the hospitals
and more prayers to heaven than any
other.
God bless the Methodist church,
bless all the churches, and blessed be
God, who in this great trial giveth US
the churches.

at the right instant his rifle was
brought to his shoulder like flash
and a bullet sped straight into the
