How Wolves Hunt.

One stronely-marked CHARACTERISTIC COM
mon 10 dogs and wolves is their skill in
hunting. sometimes in couples, sometimes
IN packs. Such a wolf-hunt in India Is de-
scribed by writer in Temple Bar, VINO,
while with his telescope watching herd OF
antelopes feeding IN q large held, observed
six wolves evidently converting now best
to get their own breakfast.
Having decided on their plan OF cam
paign they separated, leaving one sta
tionary. Four crept stealthily round the
outer edge of the field and one lay IN am-
bush at each corner, while the sixth crept
through furrow TO the middle OF the held
and there lay down unobserved. .,
When all were thus posted, the first wolf
suddenly showed himself. and, charging
the antelopes, drove them right across the
great field, when they were headed by
another wolf, who chased them in fresh
direction, while the first hunter lay down
to rest.
No sooner had the frightened herd reach
ed the farther corner of the plain than up
sprang q fresh wolf, who again turned them
and took up the pursuit. leaving his pant
ing accomplice 70 take breath preparatory
to another chase. Thus the luckless, terri
fed antelopes were driven from corner TO
corner Of the great plain till, stupefed and
exhausted, they crowded together, gailop-
ing IN ever-lessening circles round the CEN
tire Of the field, where the sixth wolf lay
hidden, evidently waiting until they should
be so efectually tired out as TO fall an easy
prey.
His calculations were, however, at fault,
not having reckoned ON the human
presence, and just as he was preparing for
the anal spring well-directed shot proved
fatal to the nearest wolf, whereupon all
the confederates took the hint and took
themselves of with all possible speed.

Mysterious Manifestations ut Mrs. Roh-
meyer's Farm in EImhurst.

Look for yourself" said Mrs. Rob-
never, of Flmhurst, to a Chicago NetDs re-
porter who sought information about the
spooks which are supposed to lnfest her
barn.
The Rohmeyer homestead is situated
about three miles west of the station, and
- one of the largest and best-regulated
farms in that district. The stately suburb
of Elmhurst is all agog with excitement
over the latest sensation, and little knots
of people stand about the streets discuss
ing the affair.
For some thieves, ever since New
Years eve-we have been troubled by
something or somebody molesting our cat
tie and horses, and despite our vigilance
we can do nothing TO prevent, SAID Mrs.
Rohmeyer. Yale locks are on all our
doors, and you see the windows are secure
ly nailed and barred on the inside, leaving
no chance for anybody 10 enter and. besides,
our dogs are liberated at night, and they
are frst-class watchdogs. But, curious TO
say, they have not given the slightest
sound or shown the least sign Of uneasl-
ness. In fact, the person or persons who
come here every night carried the dog
kennel from the front of the house and
placed it at the side of the barn, tying the
dogs to it.
Robbery is not the purpose, as nothing
has been taken. The visitors left no clew
beyond an inscription on the lock and
walls, reading: "O-ho he" The locks
are not forced, but opened in some man.

Have you seen anything of these mystic

"Yes, our hired man has shot at them
several times, but, curious enough, they are
never harmed. 1 am not superstltious,

Once rs Mr.. Lincoln lay upon his favor

TO do paying no attention TO him, he broke

the war was over. slavery destroyed, and
she had had an opportunity 10 develop her

there, no longer hidden from human eyes,
flashes in your very faces. You can smell
theroses of anew hope that fill the air. You
can hear the heart-beats of progress that
come as upon the wings OF Heaven. You
can reach forth your hands and almost
clutch the gold that the sun rains down

COL. P0LK'S DELIGHT
SHARED ALIKE IN THE DEFEAT or IN
CALLS AND THE FORCE BILL.
Republicans Who Do. Not Regret Either
Fine Work Of the North Carolina Oyster
Navy--The southern Exposition.
Especial telegram 70 the Dispstch. !

RArEIdH. N. O.. January 2s.-Colonel
Polk, president Of the National Alliance,
arrived here from Washington this after
noon. He expresses great delight at the
defeat Of Ingalls, and the shelving Of the
force bill. Many Republicans, some of
them ofhce-holders, were interviewed to-
day and not one Of them expressed any re-
gret OF the defeat Of Ingalls, and the force
bill. It is plain that Harrison Is very weak
with his party in this State from the re-
marks heard.
THE OYSTER NAVY.
Governor Fowle to-day received advices
from the officer in charge of the military
force which has been chasing the oyster
pirates from the North Carolina sounds
that the gunboat had returned TO Eliza
beth City after completing that work.
Another gun-boat is being fitted out at
kewberne and will be manned by picked
crew. This will be for the present regu-
lar oyster gun-boat.
THE LOCATION SECURED.
II is reasonably certain this evening that
enough money is subscribed here to secure
the location of the proposed Southern In
dustrial Exposition at Releigb.
MAKE TIE APPROXIMATION.
II was arranged this evening that to-
morrow morning President Julian s.. Carr
and the other trustees of the Confederate
Soldiers Home should meet the legislative
committees and present the reasons for an
appropriation by the State to the home.
1t is believed the Appropriation, which is
moderate, is assured.
RUNAWAY ORPHANS.
Two little boys who had fed from the
orphan asylum at Oxford, and who had
walked all the way to Raleigh, were cared
for by the police to-day and have been sent
back. A number of boys ran away from
the asylum last Monday-these among
them.
BOUND ovEB TO APPEAR.
Eff. Moore, late president of the Peo-
pies Bank, who was arrested Monday
evening charged with embezzling over
S1O6, 900 of the banks funds, has appeared
before United States Commissioner Pou.
District-Attorney Cook represented the
Government, Moore's counsel being j. G.
MacRae and George N. Rose, Of Fayette-
vile, and T. c. Fuller, of Raleigh. Moore
waived examination, and was bound over
TO appear at the United States Circuit
Court in Raleigh next June. He asked to
be sent to Raleigh for trial, as one Of his
attorneys is here.

at Once to Gather Relics.
To ae Editor Of ne Dispatch:
II Is true that no place has been pro-
vlded for the Central School when the
present building shall be turned over 70
the Ladies' Confederate Memorial and
Literary Society for a museum.
The time lost between now and the IN
definite period when the building shall be
turned over to the ladies' association can
never be regained, and is valuable in view
of the destruction that may accrue TO the
relics and remnants that remain of the
cause lost and dear to the southerner,
especially as the many have but small ap.
probation of the value and Importance OF
historic mementoes which cannot De
manufactured at will like Connecticut
wooden nut-megs or bric-d-brdc turned
out by machinery. These souUenirs
termed by the vulgar and unap-
preciative. trash" and rubbish" while
really valuable in the eyes of the
thoughtful and sacred TO the patriotic, are
lying around loose. in many cases subject
to the destructive force of the wind and
weather, or what is worse left to the dam
aging effect of the dust of quarter OF q
century, piled away in garrets, the prey OF
rats and mice. which are making nests OF
priceless manuscripts aud relics which, pre-
served, could more eloguently tell the he
roic story of southern valor and proves
than a twice-told tale by even Sir Walter
Scott himself.
Whether building is now ready for
their reception or not The collection Of relics
should commence at once. The nature of
this business, which is to save from the
wreck and ruin incidental to careless
handling and usage, calls for commence
ment of work at once. Otherwise there
will be nothing tangible left to mutely tell
the tale which is so falsely written even at
this early day. "Ex-CoNFEDERATE."
