The Hunter Hunted,

There was great excitement the oth- e day over at the clubhouse of the Saell Lake Fishing and Hunting Club. situated in the wildS of St. Francis county, Arkansas.
 X rural statesman and lady bear were the moving cause. Each played lone hand and the bear took the trick
 The statesman is candidate for a county office and had arrived at the clubhouse on the morning train with intent to corral the votes of Col. Pow ell Hawkins, the clubhouse keeper and his step-son, Arthur Kelley. He eX- pounded to them the blessings of free silver at l6 to l. which his election would bring within reach of all the speepul,' including swampers. The Way lie denounced the crime of '73 and that traitor Cleveland was caution .u s1akeS.
 Just gimme d chance at him. that's al, he exclaimed in tones of thunder VI ;int afraid of old Cleveland or any thing else that walks the footstool. '
 This bold deiverance converted Hawkins and Kelley. If there is one klpd of a man they like better than any other it's the kind that has his nerve always with him. And so in ir.endiy and patriotic discourse the morning and the noon hour passed h-e d teal duck in it's flight.
 Along in the shank of the afternoon Mts. Hawkins took constitutional LID the railroad. The readers of the Scim- ltIr will remember that this lady holds the belt as killer of big game. having a record of three bears bagged within thtee-quarters of an hour.

But the others were backward about it until your Uncle Powell said 1t was well, when they adjourned un- til afternoon. At the next session they adopted a regular republican platform, and adjourned sine die. That's all there was to it, and the nominees are welcome to their empty honors.

To DIVE For TREAsURE.-Veteran

To DIVE For TREAsURE.-Veteran
Diver Captain F. K. Sharp, in charge Of
party of experienced wreckers, left
New York Saturday evening on the
Merritt wrecking schooner, Edwin
Post, for Jones's Inlet, on the Long
Island shore.
The object of the expedition is to
locate the wreck of the American bark
Mexico, which sank off the inlet sixty
years ago, and to recover some of the
wealth which went down with the
vessel.
The Mexico left an English port,
bound for New York, in 1886. She
carried as passengers wealthy English
family named Cooper and wealthy
relatives and friends to the number of
eighty.
The intending colonists had convert
ed their property in England into
money, which they carried in canvas
bags on board the ship. Each of them
had also cash in belts about their
waists. The women had jewels.
Off Jones's Inlet q gale drove the
Mexico onto the shoals. The little
craft oapsized and finally slipped into
deep water. The captain, cook, four
sailors and two passengers were the
only survivors.
The bulk of the wealth, estimated at
half million dollars, went down with
the bark. In the vessels cargo there
was also large amount of sheet cop
per.
No successful effort, it is said, has
yer been made to locate this wreck.
The Edwin Post is supplied with the
most approved wreoking apparatus,
and as the Mexico was built of ash,
Captain Sharp hopes to find the bark
in fair state representation.

TRAMps AT A WEDD1NG.-The ex

TRAMPs AT A WEDDING The ex-
perence of young married couple in
Hicksville, Ohio, a small town in the
State, reads more like the creation
from the brain of some of the writer's
in the comic papers than a sober
reality.
G. l.. Rider and Miss Hattie New
comb, living near Hicksville, were mar
ried Thursday night. The ceremony
had been performed and the guests
were just about to do justice to the
wedding supper when fifteen hungry
and villainous looking tramps put in an
appearance and held up the house as
completely as any stage robbers In the
far West could have done it.
First, the tramps yelled: Hands
upr and proceeded to search the
guests for money and valuables, and
as none of the guests had thought of
coming armed they were completely at
the mercy of the trsmps. Having OBJ
tanned all the guests belongings, the
tramps then proceeded to drive them
into milk house, in front of which
they established a guard. They then
sat down and ate up the entire we'd
ding supper to the last crumb.
Among the other things taken from
the wedding party was the groom's
coat. in the pocket of which was the
marriage license.
Three of the tramps were afterward
