THE IBEx.


The ibex, or steinbok, is an Alpine
animal remarkable for the develop
ment of it's horns, which are some
times more than three feet in length,
and OF such extraordinary dimen-
sions that they appear to casual
observer to be peculiarly unsuited
for a quadruped which traverses the
craggy regions of Alpine precipices.
Some writer's SAY that these enor-
nous horns are employed by their
owner as buffers" by which the
force of a fall may be broken; and
that the animal, when leaping from
q great height. will alight on it's horns,
and by their elastic strength be
guarded from the severity Of a shock
that would instantly kill any animal
not so defended. This statement,
however, is but little credited.
To hunt the ibex successfully is as
hard matter as hunting the chamois,
for the ibex is to the full as wary and
active an animal, and is sometimes
apt to turn the tables on its pursuer
and assume the offensive. Should
the hunter approach too near the
ibex, the animal will. as if suddenly
urged by the reckless courage Of
despair, dash boldly forward at its
foe, and strike him from the precipi-
tous rock over which he is forced to
pass. The difficulty of the chase is
further increased by the fact that
the ibex is an animal Of remarkable
powers Of endurance. and is capable
of abstaining from food OF water for
considerable time.
They live in little bands of five or
ten in number, each troop being
under command Of an old male, and
preserving admirable order among
themselves. Their sentinel is ever
on the watch, and at the slightest
suspicious sound scent, or object,
the warning whistle is blown, and the
whole troop make instantly for the
highest attainable point.

As this telegram showed that The score
tary was laboring under a misapprehen-
sion as TO the depth of the Savannah
river. Collector BeckWith sent another
Telegram signed by himself. and by him
for Col. Lester giving the figures as TO
the actual depth Of the Savannah river
and the depth and area of water at Fort
Jackson, and requesting that the vessels
De permitted to come up TO that point. The
following answer received last night was
the result:

capt Cromwell If. in his opinion there is
no risk, and if sufficient anchorage can be
had that Will accommodate vessels off

ordered there and will go up to the city.
H. A. Herbert.
This settled the point so far as the
secretary was concerned, and the matter
was left 20 the discretion Of Capt CrOm-
wen, the senior captain. tt is a serious
ohense for a naval officer to jeopardlze his
vessel In the least, and Capt. Cromwell
was very cautious about exercising the
discretion conferred upon him. After Sc
curing full information. however, he de-
cided, as has already been announced to
bring the vessels up to Fort jackson to-
day at noon. This was decided shortly
before midnight last night. To execute
the order, il was necessary to telephone
the quarantine station last night to notify
the pilots on the J. II. Estill in the roads
to report to the warships for orders. and
also to notify the warships at once in
order that the fires I'm their furnaces might
be started. 1t takes six hours to get up
steam for the ships, hence the necessity
for early orders.

TO MOVE IT'S QUARTERS.
The Commercial Club to Act on the
Question of Moving Down Town

The Commercial Club to Act on the
Question of Moving Down Town.
There will be a special meeting of the
Commercial Club at the club rooms Thurs
day evening, May 49, for the purpose Ct
taking action on the question of moving
the quarters of the club to some suitable
place down town.
A committee which has just been appoint
ed for the purpose of looking into the mat
ter will be prepared to lay before the
members the location under discussion
and the terms on which it can be secured.
The advantages of such move will be ful-
~ discussed and every member of the club
has been urged to be present.
The matter of moving the clubs quar-
ters down town has been under discussion
for sometime, for many of the members
have realized that, although they could not
find better or handsomer quarters for the
club than those they now occupy, the To-
cation of the present building hardly an
sWers the purpose of a commercial club,
for which il was intended This was talked
of at the time the club was being organized
but majority of the members seemed of
the opinion that the club would do well
where it is.
Among the places that have been spoken
of as quarters for the club when it makes
its move are the upper stories of the new
Citizens Bank building, and the committee
has the matter in charge consisting Of
MeSsrs. J. NJ. Dixon, W. d. KrensOn and
]. A. G. Carson. will probably report favor
ably on the change to that location, as 1t
seems 10 be the most highly favored by n
majority of the members of the club.
Citizens Bank building and the banking
house now occupied by Messrs. Hull &
Lathrop The more recent discussion with
regard TO the contemplated change seems
to favor the latter location. This ques-
ton, however, win be submitted 20 the
meeting to decide.
