A GAME BEAR HUNTER.
Following Three Bears Four Days and
Bagging Them All.

Bagging Them All.
"Ad" Sobers, of this place, says a Will
ton pa letter to the New York Sun, is a
persistent and tireless bear hunter. Re-
Gently he got on the trail of three big
bears near the head of Baker run. He at
once prepared to run the game down. He
followed the trail in all its twistings and
turnings all day, and it led him nearly to
the place he had started from. He camped
where night overlook him, and at daylight
took up the chase again. The days hunt
took him nearly twenty miles from the
starting place, and he was forced to camp
in the woods again. He had seen nothing
OF the bears but their tracks as yet. Be-
fore the sun was up he started again after
the big game, and once more night over
took him in Baker run, not more than a
mile from where he started on the first
days hunt. However, he had been cheered
by the sight of three bears, but they got
away without giving him shot. Next
day he was ON their track bright and
early, and late in the afternoon he came
upon all three of the bears fifteen miles
from Baker run. He got shot at one,
and had the satisfaction of seeing blood
mingled with the snow as the trail led
back again toward the rum Night put
stop to the chase for fourth time, but at
daylight it began again, and by s o'clock
In the morning he had tracked the bears,
one of them still bleeding, to small
swamp not twenty rods from the spot
where he had first seen the tracks four
days before. The trail led no further.
AID beat about in the swamp and came
upon the wounded bear lying in the shelf
cred place behind clump of laurels He
put a ball through bruins head, and con-
tinued his hunt for the other two. He
found them both on the edge of the swamp
and making their way toward the open.
He knocked one of them over at the first
shot. The remaining bear gave him a
chase of mile, when he brought it down
as it was making for another swamp, and
killed 1t with second shot. He took the
three bears to Lock Haven and sold them
for S25 apiece. He travelled over eighty
miles in the four days he was following
their trail

4 well-known resident OF the little town
of Calera, thirty miles south of this city,
is Mrs. Priscilla Scroggins. Mrs. Seroggins
is 40 years old, having been born in Lam
caster, S. c., 10 1779. She married when
twenty years of age, and twelve children
were born to her. Her children are all
dead now, but her descendants number
hundreds, if not thousands. Mrs. Scrog-
gins learned to smoke a pipe when she was
only fifteen years of age, and has never
given up the habit. Nothing affords her
more enjoyment now than her pipe, and
she can smoke it for an hour at time,
using the strongest tobacco. She says she
has been Methodist ninety years, and
expects to die shouting. Mrs. Scroggins
has for many years enjoyed excellent
health, retaining all her faculties unim-
paired. Only few days ago she returned
from an extended visit to her grandchil-
dren at Gainesville, Ga, making the rail
way journey of $50 miles alone.-Neu

A Temperance Chair.

One of the chairs in the new Catholic
university at Washington, d. c., is to be
founded by the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of America. The temperance men
cali it the Father Mathew chair, and they
have begun the work of collecting the $780,
600. in dollar contributions, necessary to
endow it. A committee, which has been
appointed to devise ways and means of
raising the required sum, has issued an
address to the Catholic total abstainers OF
America. October 10, 1890, will be the
bundredtb anniversary of the birth Of
Father Mathew, and the address states
that it is desired to have the money by
that time. Contributions of 500 each
have already been received from Arch
bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, Mimi, who is
called the Father Mathew of the West /;

A VERY foolish college man, one of the
Faculty of the Queens University at
Kingston, Canada, has been guilty of a
bit of meanness that should earn him the
contempt of all decent men, and result in
his removal to lower position in life than
that of public educator. But there is
nothing in the incident to excite American
wrath, though the contempt of Americans
for the narrow mindedness of the "Pro-
fessor'' is pardonable. 1t appears that at a
public exhibition by pupils of the Univer-
sity, which has a number of American
patrons, and has received material aid from
American citizens, scene was arranged in
which the various nations of earth were
represented by pupils in dramatic charac
ter. The teacher had in his programme a
very sensational scheme for depicting the
relationship of Great Britain to the
United States, and he carried it out to the
letter. When the young woman came
upon the stage who had been chosen to
represent the Queen of England, she
walked upon the platform over a carpet
made of the Stars and Stripes. AS she
reached her mimic throne she was made to
deliver a set speech, and the Professor
thereupon referred to the flag beneath
the feet of thegirl, as typical in its ignoble
position, of the relation of this Govern
ment to that of England. When this bit
of folly hac been safely enacted, the PRO
fessor" pointed to the flag in its enforced
humility of position, and tn young
woman taking her cue, looked upon il
while her master exclaimed: "That is the
way Britons look at the American flag"
This must be understood, of course, to re-
fer to the particular expression of counte-
nance in which this Scottish "Squeers >
had instructed his pupil to indulge at that
moment-for, unfortunately, the nope
eyed pedagogue is recent importation
from Scotland, and should not, therefore
he charged to the account of our Canadian
nciS 10 d SOUu u6dl
of indignation along the border over this
display of lack of sense on the part of the
Kingston abecdarian, but those disposed
to let their passions rule in this case
should reflect that the people of Canada
are quite as indignant as their Yankee
brethren, and will very likely make the
Dominion too small and uncomfortable
for the further residence of professor
Marshall. We should reflect that there
are fools on this side of the line also, and
that on more than one occasion short
sighted and over-zealous Americans have
been quite as silly in caricature and car
toon of the British flag. The fact that
some people have not sufficient sense to
enable them to shape their conduct ac-
cording to the rules of common politeness
is not a matter of international concern,
as some hot-blooded people appear in
clined to believe it should be. The
country will not be upset or the people
lose any rest over such trivial affairs as
that OF the Kingston foolishness.n

UNDER law enacted by the late Legis-
lature, children who have not been sue.
cessfully vaccinated are to be excluded
from the public schools, unless it can be
shown that after reasonable attempts, sue.
cessful vaccination in any case cannot be
accomplished. We believe this was wise
action. 1t certainly has been demon.
strated that by vaccination the dreaded
disease can be stamped out, and it is
therefore only prudential regulation to

IT is very gratifying to learn that the
recent Congressional investigation into the
reasons for the torturing slowness with
which Federal public business is trans
acted in the Departments at Washington.
has resulted in finding in favor Of the
people, and against that never-removed
official, 'red tape" The slow coach has
ruled too long in the Departments, and
now that it is determined that business of
the Government can be done about as
promptly as similar business in private
establishment, we shall have all the coun-
try wondering why it has so long sub
mitted to the domination of red tape.
There never will be, however, any salts
factory reason given why the moss-backed
customs of delay have so long attached to
Government business, for the simple rea-
son that there is no reason for it worthy Of
the name.

IT appears, after all, that Prince Bis
marck was too hasty in declaring that in
the Samoan matter his policy was that of
England. According to the Royal Blue
Book, Great Britain is not in harmony
with the German policy in the South Seas.
Yet it is of record, and Lord Salisbury
cannot blot it out, that in the inception of
the Samoan difficulty, the English Consul
at Apia received orders to take no steps,
and assume no position in contravention
to the wishes of the representatives of
Germany in Samoa. 1t is evident that the
change of front on the part Of the English
Cabinet is due less to respect for the atti-
tude of the United States, than to fear of
the feeling of the people of the Austria
hasian colonies. The Grown has every

Southern people toward the blacks, and the
whites who are politically in disagreement
with them, the South, under the new APP
portionment, would have made gains-.hat
is, an immigration in the past eight years
would have gone into the South that
would have greatly more augmented her
population. increased her wealth and null
tiplied her industries.
The Solid South has been, in other
words and still is, a solid wall against the
incoming of what the South most needs,
new blood. Even the New York Herald,
which has been more than friendly to
Southern influences, is driven by the facts
to say:
Can Southern men wonder If year after year
certain deep irritation at tnat persistent
Northern minds, and that it finds expression at
Northern polls?
The Albany Journal takes occasion to
add, in this connection, that really the
South is solid now for nothing, but pre-
tends that the cause is fear of negro domi-
nation. But. as the Journal says-and we
have not anywhere seen it so well stated /:
1t is merely pretext because nc one objects
to the control of their local affairs by the States,
and so long as the Southern States have the
right of State control, negro domination is
utterly impossible. A solid south is not neces-
sary for the control of State affairs. solid
state should control its own affairs, and no one
proposes to interfere with a states right.
When the South solidifes itself for the simple
purpose of controlling and dominating national
politics, it solidifes the North against itself,
1t defies the Constitution for which 1t has al
ways declared its special veneration and regard,
and it thus challenges the North to battle for
sectional as well as political supremacy This
has always been suicidal policy for the Sonth.
1t is suicidal now.
But what is of more importance than
political supremacy TO the South, is indus
trial and commercial advancement, and he
is ignorant of the truths of history who
does not know that hostile political and
social policy is barrier to business pro-
erosion. The wealth, genius, vigor, and
skill of the North will not go freely into
and contribute to the development of the
South so long as there is solidity, political
and otherwise. against a class of people
who are enfranchised. and unreasoning
bitterness and prejudice against, and social
ostracism of newcomers who are not of the
political faith of the dominant party
People of tolerant sentiments will not go
into a State to raise up families. where
the injustice prevails manifest in
insistence upon representation on the
basis of all the voters in the State.
while majority, or at least very
large class, of that voting population is re-
fused voice at the polls. In brief politi-
cal intolerance and solidity are barriers to
industrial and commercial progress, and to
the general development of any section.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has again demon
strated the wisdom and impartiality of his
judgment. In the appointment of Gov
ernor for the Territory of Washington he
named first the man whom the majority of
the people desired There was no question
concerning the fitness of the candidate, but
as soon as the President learned that his
nominee, whose name had not yet been
sent to the Senate, was candidate also for
United States Senator on the coming of
the Territory into Statehood, he sent for
that gentleman and frankly told him that
he would not send in his name for confir-
nation because he could not permit even
the suspicion that the President of the
United States was taking part, in the re-
hottest way, in the political ambitions of
any candidate for an elective office-that,
in other words, the President would not
permit his appointment to be made a
stepping-stone. The wisdom of the deci-
sion was so indisputable that the candidate
was forced to admit it and gracefully
acceded to the withdrawal of his name 1t
is such action as this that wins for Presi-
dent Harrison the respect and admiration
of the American people.

reached the conclusion that any radical
reforms of public abuses must begin in the
moral sense of the people. Nevertheless,
it must not be lost sight of that society
will never reach that idealistic state-at
least SO far as human prescience enables US
in this age to Judge of the future-in which
laws of restraint will not be necessary.
There will exist, and our legislation must
recognize the fact, classes who will prey
upon the rights of others, and that these
may be restrained laws for the protection
of the voter must be enacted. 1t becomes,
therefore, question of the extent to which
we can wisely legislate, and how far the
moral sense of the people will fortify such
restraining enactments. If society waits
for the voluntary virtue" Of its members
to correct abuses, it viii suffer longer than
it needs to from the assaults of the vicious.
