A EIGHT with q Panther.

In the early part Of this century Jairus
Rich was famous hunter OF Alexandria,
NY. Once when his traps were set for
wolves, he went out on tour OF inspec-
ton, and was surprised to see panther
spring up and bound away with one OF
the traps hitched to it's hind leg. He
fred, but missed, and the creature made
off into tho thiclet. Jairus went to a
neighbours, borrowed a dog and returned
to the woods.
AS he neared the place where the en-
trapped brute had disappeared, his quick
eye detected a panther's head protruding
from some bushes few rods ahead. He
took hasty aim, fred, and the creature
fell dead.
Examination revealed the fact thatthis
was not the panther in the trap, and the
exciting barking Of the dog a few rods
in advance, showed that other game was
near. Leaving the dead panther he
hurried on and soon came in sight of the
entrapped beast, which stood at bay
snarling fercely at the dog, which kept
at a safe distance.
Mr.. Rich fred at the panther, but only
wounded it slightly. In the excitement
Of the moment he threw down his gun,
seized his Ratchet and ran forward,
thinking to make short work Of his game,
but in that he was mistaken. The pan
Their made sudden spring, knocked the
Ratchet from the hunters hand, and,
furious with rage and pain, began tear
ing and biting him.
Rich defended himself to the best OF
his ability, but there was no getting
away from the fierce animal. A fearful
struggle ensued, and finally the panther
got one of the hunters hands in his
mouth.
With his free hand Rich succeeded in
getting his jackknife from his pocket.
He opened it with his teeth, and with il
put an end to the life Of the ugly brute.
Then he crawled to the nearest house,
where his wounds were cared for. 1t
was several weeks before he was able tc
leave his bed, and the scars of the con-
fict he bore to the grave Youths
Companion.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

Harper's Magazine for March is un
rivalled in the quality of its articles and
in the number and value of it's illustra-
lions. It opens with a graphic and en-
tertaining description of Florida-Ou1
Own Riviera-by Julian Ralph, the third
of his important series of papers on the
South. Several beautiful illustrations,
including the frontispiece, by w. T.
Smedley, accompany this article. An
other handsomely illustrated article is q
descriptive account of The Escurial, the
most famous palace and monastery Of
Spain, written by Theodore Child. This
is Mr.. Child's last contribution to the
Magazine, and as such will possess a
double interest to the thousands of read
ers whom he has so often entertained
within the past half-dozen years. Henry
M. Stanley, the distinguished explorer,
contributes timely article on Slavery
and the Slave Trade in Africa, giving a
brief history of the slave trade and COM
prehensive review of what is being done
for its final extinction. Richard Harding
Davis. in An American in Africa, gives a
brief but brilliant account of the enter
prise inaugurated by William Aston
Chanler for the exploration of the Dark
Continent. Another article of special
timeliness and interest is the first Of a
series of papers on Washington Society,"
by Henry Loomis Nelson, appropriately
illustrated by G. S. Reinhart. Nine
beautiful short poems by w. D. Howells
are presented under the collective title of
Monochromes, and are attractively illus
trated by Howard Pyle. Richard Burton
also contributes a poem entitled My
Upper Shelves.
The most conspicuous feature of the
Review of Reviews for March is a study
of the recent course of American general
politics as interpreted by the careers of
four public men who have recently
passed away-namely, Messrs. Blaine,
Lamar, Hayes and Butler. The article
is by Prof. FL. P. Judson, of the Chicago
University, who is head dean of the uni
versity colleges and a thorough student
of American history and politics. 1t is
interesting to note the broad and hope
full tone of Professor Judgson's discus
sion. One may suspect that he is Re
publican.in politics, but his article is al
most wholly free from bias. He has a
warm side for Nj. Blaine, particularly
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-03-01


for the broad conceptions and aims OF
Mr.. Blalne's later years. Professor Jud-
son gives what he considers the present
day significance of the Monroe Edoctrlne,
and nothing could be more timely than
his discussion of this subject. His triD-
ute to the late Justice Lamar is one
which that distinguished statesman
friends will appreciate for its breadth
and heartiness. Upon the whole, Mr..
Judson's study of our political life from
the reconstruction period up to the re-
tirement of Mr.. Blaine from the Harri-
son Cabinet, is perhaps the solidest and
meatiest paper that has appeared in any
of the March magazines. The other
parts of the magazine are managed upon
the plan of strict condensation, but the
main feature of the month is always elab-
crate and expensive.
