DIGGING PORCUPINES.

In the ACKNOWLEDGES, i'll Maine or in
Canada, wherever the American por-
cupine is found, il is not sought by
hunters as game beast, although
hunters seldom fail to kill porcupines
at every opportunity because Of the
damage they do to dogs. On the other
hand, from Boover Wei. near Yelling
ton, Cape Colony, South Africa, Walter
III. Gerard writes to the London Field
to tell how he hunted the porcupine
with dogs. after the fashion OF coon
hunters. by moonlight.
The party included parson and
magistrate, banker and landowner.
The dogs treiled porcupine. came W
with it, and bit it. The foolish dogs bi'
the ouills, but the smart ones seized the
nose. When the quilts had been removed
from the foolish dogs noses, the hunt
went ON. The next head Of game sighted
was a huge pig, which was chased until
il took to burrow. Another porcupint
was soon after sighted. This porcupin'
was u large female, and led the hunter
q regular coon chase before she died
The hunters were then seven miles from
home. and IL was l 80 q. M, and tn
branches were thick with dew tina

But the house had one terrible detect,

was insufferable and yet incurable, ana
worse for Leech from his studio being

from five or six instruments was heard
all playing different tunes at the same
time. When timid messenger was
sent out. some truculent offenders were
un findable-hidden deep in stable yards
and Others were 40 far away for all
but noise that il seemed unreasonable
To peouire their removal. This horrible
torment, which went on then. AS It does
now, from early morning till late ~
night was practically the cause OF
Leeeh's death.
When Mr.. Holman Hunt returned TO

Lord Cromer and Egypt.

Lord Cromer, the British minister at
Cairo, who is the real ruler of Egypt, Is
man of the greatest ability in his pro-
fession. He has quick decision and
immovable determination. Ever since
his appointment in 1883 he has been
the cause of no end of anxiety to the
French, and for this, II no other reason,
1t is to be expected that he would enjoy,
as he does, the absolute confidence of his
government. Lord Cromer was for
merly European commissioner of the
public debt in Egypt. He was selected
as one of the controllers general repre-
senting England and France when the
Khedive Ismail was deposed by the fir
man of the sultan in 1879. 1t was about
the close of 1880 that Tewfik Pasha be-
came the ruler of Egypt. Abbas soon
