mired. These skunk skins are worth
from $3.50 TO IS each. They are made
into capes and muffs and are largely used
for trimmings. The skunk skin before
II is prepared has white line traversing
the side, but this is carefully cut out and
east away, and only the rich brown fur
is sold. If this white streak were al
lowed to remain it would be dead give
away on the so-called American marteu.
The real marten is light fur, not at all
pretty, and not used to any extent. The
marten Of the Hudson Bay country is,
on the contrary, very dark fur aud Is
priced at about $25 skin.
Coon skins bring from 80 cents to 50.
Lynx is valued at S. to 81. They are
large skins and in their natural state tine
best lynx skins are sent to Leipzig to be
dyed, and are imported at value Of $12
to $14 each.
The most durable fur and that which
gives the best return for the money in
vested in the cost of the seal. There is
not much difference between mink and
seal. A good sealskin will wear with
proper care fully fifteen years. But it
will be necessary to be careful of it il the
owner wishes it to last so long. Some
ladies will say that seal sacque will not
be presentable after two or three years.
use, but those who say that, said an ex-
pert in the fur business to the Saunterer,
do not know how to take care of a fur
garment. The average durability of a
sealskin is about eight years. The rae
coon is fur that wears like iron, and
beaver is another tough skin. In fact,
beaver in its wearing qualities may be
ranked next to the seal.
Twenty years ago the Only furs used
were the mink, otter, beaver and musk
rat. Nowadays the fur of nearly every
animal is used Even the common house
cat and Newfoundland dog are skinned,
and the skins dressed are exported to
England. The fur of these animals is
made into capes and rechristened. In
their new shape the dog fur is called AS
trachan and the cats cony. Fifty per
cent. of the skins used in this country are
! imported. North America furnishes the
greatest variety of furs. The seal crop
this year will largely come from Japan
I because the Alaska catch is so short.
According t. late reports only $4,000
seals have been caught so far this year,
compared to 10000 during the same
period last year. AS the finest seal pro-
duct comes from Alaska, it is likely that
the prices of this article will largely in
crease. Already sealskins have gone up
25 per cent, and it is probable that they
will ascend higher. No other seals can
take the place of the Alaska seal because
he skins are so inferior a quality and
tannot be used for garments. Chicago

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
How an Indian Frightened a Tiger
by His War Whoop.

It is we'll known fact that monkeys
have great dislike to the presence of
tiger in their haunts, and will follow his
movements in the forest and annoy him
in every possible way. Peacocks do the
same, screaming and futtering in the
trees overhead, 10 that sportsmen and
others in dangerous localities are put on
their guard against the common enemy.
On one occasion 1t happened that two
sportsmen in Upper India, after fair
days shooting, were returning to camp,
when troop Of monkeys overhead be-
gan bounding about in great agitation,
chattering and making hideous grimaces,
as though half enraged or terrified at the
sight of some object beneath them.
.sWhat can be the matter with these
monkeys2" asked one of the sportsmen
of the native guide who attended them.
81 suppose they see tigerw replied
the native, with perfect GOODNESS, as
though it were quite matter Of course
to meet one Of these striped beauties dur
ing an afternoon walk in the jungle.
This was very alarming, but there was
nothing for it but to walk on as quickly
as possible. Scarcely, however, had they
proceeded another fifty yards when they
found themselves face to face with an
enormous tiger engaged in tearing UP
the carcase of wild hog which he had
just destroyed. The creature seemed
somewhat to be taken aback at the sud-
den encounter; he drew slightly back
and glared at them with his malignant
eyes, the guide meanwhile remaining
motionless as statue, with his keen
glance steadily fixed upon the enemy,
while with a low voice he warned his
companions not to fire but to stand as
steadily as possible. After minute or
two the tiger growled, showed its teeth,
crouched together, but, apparently con-
founded by the silence, skunk away INTO
the long grass.
No sooner was his back turned than
the native, clapping his hands to his
mouth, sent forth wild, ear-piercing
yell which appeared to strike terror to
the heart Of the savage animal, whose
stealthy tread was Immediately changed
to bounding gallop as he fled in dismay
from that unearthly cry. Then the three
men set off toward camp at round trot,
for the short twilight Of the tropics was
fading rapidly, and though tiger might
flee in panic in the light of day, after
nightfall he is certainly not to be trified
with.

The Writing Rock.

A number of Boston savants recently
visited the famous Writing Rock located
on the shores of the Taunton River, near
Dighton, Mass, and discussed a project
for its removal to and preservation in
some great public museum. The Writ
ing Rock is one of the bases for the
assertion that Columbus was not the dis
coyerer of America. 1t consists of an
insulated mass of fine-grained granite,
living on the sands of the river few
feet above the lowrwater mark, but COW
cred with water at each flow of the
tide. .s :
1t is eleven feet long and about Ave
feet high. On the water side itpresents
an inclined plane surface, the face Of
which, eleven by ten, seems to have been
originally covered with inscriptions and
sculptures. The inscriptions are hiero-
gSyphic in character, and as the rock is
very hard, those that rise above the low
water mark can have undergone but very
little change from action Of the elements.
Antiouarians who claim to have deci-
phered the characters say that they were
made by explorers who reachedathe New
England coast at least 500 years before
the birth Of the famed Genoese navigator.

and good wishesl
This, however, was a simple precau-

Seeing him deprived of the only wesp-

As the time passed on he sat himself
down aud tried to read, but his thoughts
wondered. His ear eagerly received,
against his will, the slightest sounds in
the house. II q foot seemed approaching
him, he rose suddenly and tried 10 COM
pose his countenanee. When the door OF
the neighboring chamber was opened his
agony was redoubled.
He caught the sound of weary sigh,
then, an instant after, the dull fall OF
Mrs. Leland upon the carpet. then her
despairing sobs.
Eugene threw from him violently the
book which he was forcing himself to
read, placing his elbows on the bureau
which was before him, held, for long
time, his pale forehead tightened in his
contracted hands. When the sound OF
the sobs sbsted and ceased, little by lit
tie, he breathed freer.
A little after midday he received this
note:
aMy husbands health is hopelessly
broken. He has sent in his resignation to
the directors Of the bank. He longs for
the country. Warren has placed his
house at Roxbury at our disposal, and we
depart almost Immediately. If you will
permit me to take my daughter with me
for a few days, shall be grateful to
you. AGNES LELAND.
He returned this simple reply:
you can do nothing of which do not
approve to-day and always.
EUGENE CLEVELAND"
Mrs. Leland, in fact, having consulted
the inclination and the strength of her
daughter, had determined to remove her
without delay, if possible, from the i'm
pressions of the spot where she had
suffered SO severely from the presence
of her husband, and from the unfortu-
nate embarrassment of their mutual situa-
! ton.
She desired also to mediate in soli-
| tude, in order to decide what course to
! take under unexpected circumstances.
! Finally, she had not the courage to see
| Eugene again-if she could ever see him
again-until some time had elapsed. II
was not without anxiety that she awaited
his replyto the request she had addressed
him.
In the midst of the troubled confusion
of her ideas, she believed him capable oi
almost anything; and she feared every
| thing from him.
Eugene's note reassured her.
She hastened to read it to her daughter
| and both of them, like two lost creatures
who cling to the smallest twig, remarked

abandonment with which he had reposec

A Squad of Wcaklings.

The Georgia campaign, says tho
Augusta Chronicle, is watched with
great interest at the North. The
failure of true and tried members to
be rcnominatcd by the Democratic
party has created considerable sur
prise, and has moved tho Springfield
(Mass.,) Re7ntbIican to cxclaim':
"Therc seems to be disposition
abroad to replace many Of the South
ern members of the House and
Senators of the most conspicuous
service and ability with men who, as
a rule, have had no experience in
public life; men who, in comparison
with the sitting members and Scna-
tors, arc of the third or fourth class
in ability; men welded apparently
to ludicrous fads in Legislation or
constitutional law; or they arc cheap
dcmagogucs, who arc using the rural
population for their own selfish
purposes. ".
"Eycry patriotic citizen, regard
less of party aililiation, must regret
the possible effect of this, and the
Southern people viii live TO bitterly
regret their folly if they permit
class prejudice to result in putting a
squad of wcaklings in the places
now filled by their ablcst and best
men," ..

all the Southern States.
