TRAPPING A RHlNOCEROS.

Sport That Requires an Unlimited
Amount of Goodness and Courage.
A traveller with three Dutch hunters
had some exciting adventures in the
Transvaal country, a few months ago.
in attempting to capture rhinoceros.
They came upon big two-horned fell
low suddenly one morning. and had to
| ''climb tree" to escape his horns.
The animal made for the tent Of
the party, short distance away, but
a system of simple defense, of wire
brush. foiled him. and he made off. !.
A pit was dug in the swamp, and
nice, fat native, which is calculated to
make almost any rhinoceros hungry,
sent out to decoy the prey. Soon alter
they heard the shrill notes of the So
called rhinoceros bird. which is inva..
iiably found in the company OF the
beast. =
1t is asserted that the bird consti-
tutes himself the sentinel of the lum-
bering behemoth, and that its cries
are uttered to warn him that danger is
near.
The naive came through the clear
ing with the old fellow in tow. The
native had about thirty feet the start
and when they passed our mound he
had lost five feet of that, although run
ming like an express train.
The rhinoceros was big one, I'M
usually black. and he ran with his
snout down and his tail erect. We
cheered the native to encourage him,
and away the two went up the trail we
had tempered with.
Had the race been ten yards longer,
the native would have had to leave the
path to avoid death. As he neared the
pit, he ran along the right-hand edge
of it, while the rhinoceros Numbered
along the center.
He was within twelve feet of the
heels Of the runner, when his feet let
go of solid earth and plunged him
head-frst into the pit We heard him
grunt from where we stood, and it was
plain that his tumble had knocked the
breath out of him.
AS he struck he rolled over on his
right side, and when we reached the
pit he was helpless.
When he got it through his thick
head that he had been fooled, he was
the maddest beast in all Africa, but
it was too late for action.
We had come prepared for just such
job as we now had on hand. The
huge animal must be got aboard the
barge, but we were in no hurry to be-
gin.
We got our ropes and chains ashore.
drove stout stakes where they would
be wanted, and moved the barge to
the lower end of the bluff. By this
time it was dark, and we tied the old
fellows hind legs together and left
him.
After breakfast next morning we
first hobbled our prisoner, and then
hoisted him out of the pit The first
thing he did was to make rush. but
it was failure.
We got purchase tackles on him.
and led them away to trees and sta
piles. and by these means We checked
him up or warped him along as willed.
All we had to do was to keep clear OF
his wicked horns.
By noon we had him safe aboard the
barge, one-half Of which was given
him. We had managed his capture
without inficting an injury.
He was landed in Hamburg without
a piece Of skin rubbed of. and IL no
doubt alive at this writing. His age 4
was estimated at thirty years when
captured, and he was considered good
for fifty or sixty years moral Golden

HARRISON'S POLICY.
The Indiana Man brings Forth . Mouse
Instead of q Mountain.

the Indiana Man Brings Forth . Mouse
Instead of a Mountain.
One of the most offensive features
Of President Hayes administration
was the Indifference with which he
permitted his Secretary of the Treas
ury, Mr.. Sherman, to build up a
machine in the South. 1t was based
on the spoils system, and Government
patronage was distributed in so
shameless a way that the feeling of
Indignation then aroused did much to
keep the South solid. But the Sher-
man machine, in spite of all its de-
fects, was effective in securing dele
gates to the Republican National con-
vention of 1880.
The friends of President Harrison
seem to be most actively engaged just
at present in efforts to rehabilitate the
Sherman machine. They know that
it is gross misuse of power for the
President to appoint to Office dis
honest carpet-baggers who do not
represent in any sense the people in
the localities where they live; but such
a course, they think. looking back
at the result in 1880. may bring
their chief votes in the National con-
vention in 1892. So the offices are di-
vided up as they will do the most good.
This proceeding naturally results in
serious scandals in some places. as in
North Carolina but the Harrison
manages console themselves for the
present by dreaming of the future.
In view OF the rose-colored prophe-
cies that were made as to what Cen
eral Harrison proposed to do in the
South, the result is very disappointing.
He was to build up a great protective
party there and to break the solid
Democratic party. And now, instead
of any of these great things being &C
complished, we are simply to have the
old Sherman machine resuscitated. If
we had not been told to expect
mountain we would not be so grievous-
ly disappointed to find that = mouse
had been brought forth.-N. Y. Star.

Ventilation.

Good ventilation for houses, churches,
halls, ETC., is o matter which has re-
ceived much attention for many years
past, and many men have devoted
much time and money to the subject,
Nearly all the appliances heretofore
used for furnishing pure air have nearly
all drawn upon the atmosphere near
Ehe earth, where the air, MS n general
thing is more or less imperfect, and
the manner OF conveying it to the
houses has been equally us bad us the
air furnished, and rs II consequence,
most all these applicances have been
failures. 1t remained, therefore, for
Mr.. j. McCreery, of Toledo, to invent
method which would fill the bill in
every particular. He takes the air
from any distance above the top of the
building, by extending pipe above
the roof. In the building he has fans
attached in such manner as to draw
the air through the perpendicular pipe
and force it through the horizontal
pipes, keeping constant current oI
pure air in the room
Rooms which are full of bad orders
may be made perfectly pure and pleas
ant in Il very short time by this simple
and inexpensive process. The device
may be seen in operation at Bot
Wallace's place in Toledo, where il

there were not great many killed or

nearly all to escape without injury.

We were asked, a few days ago,
what trade Bob Parker worked at
before studying law. Why, he was
nothing more nor less than cigar
maker, but he didn't believe in stop
ping ut that, but pushed onward, and
to show that he is made of good
material, we print the following, taken
from the Sentinel:
The trials, adversities and tempta-
tions to which the young iourneyman
cigar maker, printer or mechanic of
those trades, the disciples of which are
prone to wander from town to town,
are subjected, can only be appreciated
by those who have had the experience.
The only wonder is that any of them
ever turned out well. During Mr.. Par
ker's seven years experience, he worked
at Lima, Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland,
Akron, Fostoria, and many other towns
in the State, and saw the usual rough
side of life incident to such shiftings of
location. Maintaining through it all,
however, the determination to turn his
native talent to a better account than
that of ''iour" cigar maker, he re-
turned to Findlay in 1874, and began
the study of law with A. b. and NJ. ID.
Shafer, with whom he remained for
one year, maintaining himself the
while by working four or five hours II
day at cigar making for man by the
name of Gordon, a very kind man,
whom Parker says he does not believe
needed his help at all, but only gave
him employment to help him along.
AT the end of the first year Rob found
that, owing to his fathers failing
health and financial condition, he
would be obliged to help him to the
necessaries of life. He therefore rented
some rooms and the two ''kept house, y
while Rob furnished the frugal lardel
by making cigars and jobbing them
out to the dealers in Findlay, who were
very kind to him at all times. While
! he worked mt the bench, his father
would sit by him and read from such
law books as would admit of absOrp.
tion by such means, and together they
would discuss the points laid down
therein, so as to impress them upon
the mind of the student.
In 1876, after passing Il satisfactory
examination, he was admitted to the
bar, and after hanging his banner OF
the outer wall in North Baltimore, he
afterward went to Bowling Green
where he has since lived, and where lie
has made for himself an enviable re-.
utation, both personally and profession
ally. The above facts are some of the
reasons why we think Parker is made
of the right kind of material, and has
the necessary sense and stamina tC
make good Judge.
