4 hc opinions Of hunters have
f9r e f.lDc ffercd as to whc-
t.. tt we're really grizzly bears
in the usdaloupc Mountains, |
write this that all doubts may lie
ended.
For two years past the large
tracks Of Il bear were at different
times t. be seen in various parts
Of this section, and while bears
tracks are by no means rare, for
there are many bears in these
mountains, still the enormous size
Of these tracks excited the interest
Of the hunters. On two occasions
hunters have been "clcancd up
by large ursus, pronounced by
one party a grizzly, and by the
other cinnamaron. Thus the
matter was left in doubt until last
Sunday, when Mr.. Miles r. Stone
the Nimrod of this section, settled
ii. While out hunting he came
across the oft seen large tracks,
and having his faithful dogs imme-
diately started them in chase. A
race Of three miles over mountains
across canons and through thickets
followed before this monster WAS
brought to stand. knowing the
danger to his dogs from such an
animal as the bear must be. Stone
piled both whip and spur to keep
up. He was not moment too
soon. for as soon as Hector, the
lead dog. reached Bruin, he seized
him by the fore leg and would. in
Il few moments, have been victim
Of his imprudcncc. Store, how
ever, almost shirtless from his ride
through the brush, arrived with
his trusty Winchester, and riding
to within five feet Of the antagc-
nists, sent bullet into the bear.
Forgetting the dog the bear rushed
at Stone and would soon lave

but for the agility Of the latter's
horse.
By this time the other dogs ar
rived and the row became grand.

AN UNEXPECTED HIT.

A farmer once employed young
man to labor on his farm without in
quiring to his habits, and upon learn
ing that he was somewhat addicted
to drinking, the farmer offered him a
choice sheep ifhe would refrain from
drinking the season. A grown son
of the farmer said: "Pa, will you give
me sheep too if | will not drink
this season." eyes" replied the
father, ''you may have a Sheep"
Then the little boy spoke up and
said, ''Pa, will you give me a sheep
too, if I'll not drink" eyes, son
you shall have sheep also. After
a moments pause the little boy
turned to his father and said; Spa,
hadn't you better take sheep, too?''
The father must have felt sheepish.

UNKNOWN HEROES.

The world is full of hero worship
and many are the unfortunate oaes
We honor and revere. Some won by
knightly deeds on battle fields,
some by splendid proves in saving
life when periled by fire or food
by every form of daring bravery or
noble effort the list is swelled. And
quick and generous appreciation
is awarded all such deeds of excep-
tional heroism.
All heroic acts, however, do not
come to the light of public approval.
There are unknown and unnoticed
heroes and heroines in private life
whose names are not destined to be
"sung IN numbers" whose quiet
lives flow on in uneventful stiffness.
But the young man who voluntari
iy resigns the ambitious plans of
youth, with all their vaguely splen-
did possibilities, to care for his aged
parents, is an obligation, perhaps,
distasteful to him, seeing his more
fortunate brothers an comrades win
ming fortune and renown that might
be his, is hero of no humble type.
The girl who, putting aside her
own happy dreams Of the future,
dedicates her life TO the care of an
invalid mother or crippled sister,
making their lives bright with the
light she denies her own, is a he
rome, though not always recognized
as such.
In many an obscure home the
frail mother is the heroic spirit,
who meets the blows of adversely
with the shield of cheerful industry.
Brave and never despairing, thankful
and hopeful to others, she might
have poems written Of her heroism
if her station had been higher in
the eyes of the world.

SOUTHWARK THE STAR OF EMPIRE
TAKES ITS WAY.

For years the Manufacturers Re-
cord has been preaching that where
the cotton is grown there it must be
manufactured, and that the south is
destined to be the cotton manufac-
turing and iron making center of
the world. These truths are being
impressed upon the business world,
and the Philadelphia Times, of
which Col. A. K. Mcclure is editor.
following in this line, in its issue of
August 26 says:
"The place where the cotton is
grown is the place where it must
soon be chiefly manufactured. With
a genial climate that in itself lessons
the cost of labor very largely; with
water-power that never freezes i'll
most Of the cotton regions; with
facilities for reaching markets near
ly or quite equal to northern mills,
and with the economy Of free raw
material without cost of transporta-
ton or the injury Of severe COM
preston, cotton should be manufac-
tured in any of the cotton states
much cheaper than IN the north.
In these days of swift mutations in
business and trade those who disre-
gard the absolute laws which govern
all branches of enterprise will be
certain to founder in bankruptcy,
and only the stone blind fail to see
that cotton fabrics and large pro-
portion OF the iron supply of the
country must come from the south.
They have natural advantages for
cheapening those products which
cannot be longer defed, and, instead
of peIsisting in warning against fate
by putting northern ingenuity, en-.
ergy and capital against southern
advantages, our ingenuity, energy
and capital must largely 60 south,
and reap their richest harvests in
the cotton and iron centers OF that
region.
The Times but voices the now al
most universal sentiment of the
world. Ten years ago the Manufac-
turers' Record found but few be
levers in its teachings of southern
industrial supremacy, but it never
faltered in its work, and to-day
nearly the whole business world
freely admits that the south is enter
ing upon period Of prosperity and
development greater than has ever
before been known upon this ,conti-
nent.

SUNDAY TRAINS.

An exchange says: The railway
movement to as far as possible do
away with Sunday trains is com
mendable. 10 say nothing of the
moral side of the question, it is good
business policy to allow one day of
rest to railway employees. For six
days Of work, strain and worry, one
day OF rest and recuperation is need
ed to fit the human machine for
duty, and repair the waste, so that
it can discharge the duties incum-
bent upon it in the best possible
manner. There is limit to hu
man endurance which railways
should take proper cognizance of,
and in every way possible tighten
and make pleasant the labor of it's
armies. They owe this to them
selves, for, in order to get prompt
and efficient service, which the pub
lie always demands, and which tells
in the monthly statements, as well
as its future prospects, railways
must allow men to take proper rest
and recreation. Sunday, or one
day in each week, is necessary as
a day of diversion and amusement
for the whole family; it is bred in
the bone, SO to speak, and must be
as far as possible observed by the
race OF men. A man can do all he
is capable of doing each week in six
days. Let us rest on the Sabbath.
Let US house the engine, set the
brakes, close the Offices, and mingle
with the great world, at least one
day each week.

SMOKING PISTOLS.

LAGRANGE. GA, Sept. 8th, 1889.
DEAR Journal turn to you as
an old and trusted friend, to solve
difficulty that has weighed upon my
mind for weeks past.
Ever since reading the Constitu-
tons account of the williamson
Calhoun duel, l have searched the
records to learn why the pistols kept
smoking during the performance ?
1t appears that by far the greater
part of the bravery, chivalry and
glory, and in fact the magnifcence
of the spectacle and the eclat OF the
whole affair rest on the smoking pis-
tolls. But no one can tell US why
the pistols stopped to take a smoke
just at that supreme moment, when
Pat made his sublime address to
Bill, which is to 60 laundering
down the lesounding arches of time
vita the concentrated eloquence of
Patrick Henry and John Calhoun.
No one, however, tells US if the pis-
tol With which Jackson was going to
annihilate Seay and King took
hand in the smoke.
1t would have added much to the
grandeur OF the occasion, and been
one of the sweetest and cutest scenes
in the whole drama, if Jackson's
pistol had lit a weed and taken
smoke while he was searching the
code to learn if it was proper for the
ringmaster to allow second to ad-
minister Glove to his principal, or
pour handful of gravel into his
gizzard between the acts.
No one tells US if the pistols
smoked pipes or cigaretts. Or did
each pistol fire private brush pile
to make those majestic columns OF
smoke that so awed the spectators
Or did the attendant bards see the
locomotives which carried the re-
spectlve heroes to the scene of car
mage as the furnace doors were
opened for fresh coal, and mistake
them for said pistols? Or had the
pistols a patent smoking attach.
ment to make display of colored
smoke, like the japanese fireworks?
Or was the whole affair a matter of
smoke? Homer sang of the seige of
Troy. Cervantes tells of the ex-
PLOTS Of Don QuiXote, but to Bruf-
fy X Co., has been reserved the
GROWING glory of recording the per-
tormances Of the smoking pistols.

vantes. But sublime, yes u step

KNOWLEDGE.

Increase Of knowledge is increase
of power, to the evil as we'll as to
the good. Teach boy to read, and
you give him a key to the best books
in the woodland to its wickedest.
Teach him to write, and you give
him the power to throw his thoughts
across continent-or to blast his
name in fraud. Introduce him to
the science of medicine, and you
thereby enable him to alleviate
human suffering-or to poison his
enemies secretly. And so with
every other art and science. In
creased knowledge is increased
power of evil as well as of good. It's
not enough therefore to gather
knowledge alone; much more i'm
portant to the cultivation of the
moral character of which knowledge
is to be but the instrument. He
who fails to provide his son or his
scholar with the knowledge which is
essential to him, does him grave
injury but he does worse injury
who fails to teach him how to use
his knowledge for high and noble
ends, rather than for those that are
ignoble and base.

CARRIED OVER THE FALLS.
Tragic Death of a Young Man in the
Passaic River.

New YORK, May 2.-Owing to the recent rains
the Passaic river is unusually high, and large
body OF water pours over the falls at Paterson.
\. j. On Tuesday afternoon James and William
LeGg. who live in Harrison street. Totowa, to-
gcther with four girls, decided to go to Laura
Grover cemetery TO decorate the grave of a
brother OF the Legg boys. The cemetery is
about two miles up tie river, above Paterson
James LeGg rcld the rest of the party TO wait
while lie walked around over a bridge to the
other side Of the river to get boat large
enough 70 accommodate all hands. He got the
boat and attempted 10 cross the river in it.
When about half way over the boat was caught
IL the current and swept toward The first dam
above TIE falls. 1t was evident TO the hundreds
OF spectators on the river banks that he was
doomed. The spectators yelled for James TO
jump from the boat and swim to the shore but
the current was too strong, and after q noble
effort he was carried over the dam. He was
still alive, but al hope was passed. Nothing
could resist the seethIng current between the
dam and the great falls. The water poured over
the brink of the 70-foot precipice six feet thick
and as smooth as OIL to be dashed into foam on
the rocks in the chasm below. As Legg went
over be held up his arms either in PRAYER or as
an adieu to his friends. Had he remained il
the boat he would have been saved. for the big
sl,itf was caught iii an eddy. whirled around Il
minute or two. ana then struck against the
bank, where il was caught and made fast
