A Chase by Moonlight In South Africa.
Something Like a Coon Hunt.

In the Adirondacks, III Maine or in
Canada, wherever the American pOr-
cupinc is found, it 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 Booyer Wei, near Yelling
ton, Cape Colony, South Africa, Walter
Ii. 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 a parson and q
magistrate, banker and q landow ner.
The dogs trailed 4 pOrcupine. came up
with ii, and bit Ii. The foolish dogs bit
the quilts. but the smart ones seized the
nose. When the quilts had been removed
from the foolish dogs noses, the hunt
went On. The ncxt head of game sighted
was huge pig, which was chased until

The ATTORNEY Tree.

The cupey, or, rs it is sarcastically
called i'll the English possessions, "the
attorney" is one Of the most curious,
as it is certainly the most picturesque,
denizens of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. It belongs to the
parasitical family of trees or plants,
but, terrible to relate, it invariably with
the basest ingratitude destroys all life
i'll the unfortunate tree that cherishes it
i'll its early growth. The seeds are borne
on the wings Of tie wind and deposited
on the branches OF other trees, when
they burst into roots, which are dropped
toward the ground all round the nurse"
tree. In time these roots reach the
ground and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger aud stronger, until they resem-
bic a lot of rope ladders thrown over
tie tree. Next, the parasite sends down
great cord, which twines round the
trunk OF the supporting tree, at first as

The happiest place in Europe is said
to be klinsenberg on the: Main. 1t is
the one prosperous spot, where every
body has work and an income, and
where there are no taxes, either local or
imperial, because the income of the
municipality sufiices for everything and
leaves bonus for distribution besides.

a little wisdom and foresight On the
part OF its local administration MANY

John Leech Was Literally Driven q

Look 1T the case Of John Leech,

But the house had ore terrible defect,

was encirciel by streets and news in

Was insnfferable and yet incurable, and
worse for Leech from his studio being

from tive or six Instruments was heard,
all playing different tunes at the same
time. When timid messenger was

but noise that it seemed unreasonable
to require their removal. This horrible
torment, which went on then, as ii does
now, from early morning till late ut
night, was practically the cause of
Leech's death.
When Mr.. Holman Hunt returned to
town, after an absence for time, he
found him leaning upon stick, like an
invalid. There was the man of spirit
and infiexibility, but he stood as if the

TARPON FISHING.
D Texans Experience With the Moo
Thrilling Sport In the World.


A Texas sportsman, in Forest and
stream, gives an account of an exciting
experience while fishing for tarpon in
Galveston bay. He says:
As had made my ARRANGEMENTS to
return to Houston at 2 O'Clock, l told
the boatman that if he would give me
| one more fresh mullet I would bait the
hook, and, when that was taken, we
would so in. He gave me the mullet,
put his oars i'll the locks and was ready
to start when I threw my bait over
board. had not got three feet from the
boat before there was a mighty splash.
Water was thrown all over me, and my
mullet was taken by tarpon. l was
scarcely prepared for him, but at the
same time prevented his getting toe
much line. and the reel sang the pref.
tiest kind of song, until he had gone
about so feet, that l ever heard. A,
this distance he jumped at least 10 fee,
out OF the water, and, finding I had
him safe, gave him no more slack
whatever. He turned Immediately on,
the channel to sea against the tide and
continued his rapid gait, jumping clea,

he had jumped nine times. He kept NJ
the pace until he had gone 8 miles te

and he had taken ON several occasions

nearly all my line, at least $50 feet.
After this distance he turned to the lief,
and went at least 2 miles, until he
got into 3 or 6 feet of water Ther

had some hope Of getting him into

and did not stop until he had gone -

not less than II Or Is miles. 1 found

THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Rather Thin charggs s According to Rep

Rather Thin Chargfs According to Reports.
 Meriden, Feb. 1S.-Unless at Friday s hearing before the board of trustees of the Connecticut School for Boys, there are more serious charges pre- ferred against Superintendent Thatcher than those referred to in the communi- cation from Governor Coffin, which the trustees had before them at last Fri days meeting, it ought not to take the board very long to dispose of them. One of the charges mentioned in Gov ernor Coffin's communication is that Superintendent Thatcher has said that the school was bankrupt when he came. From all accounts such is the fact. When he took charge the books showed $3,O00 in the bank, but the cases show ed that there was not q dollar and many unpaid bills. That seems pretty near bankruptcy.
 Another and most appalling fact is that Superintendent Thatcher has told that his father was a prize fighter. MT. Thatcher unblushingly admits that he has committed that awful offense. MT. Thatcher's father was an English gen. tleman and did box for prizes, as was the custom among English gentlemen. If he was an out-andout thug, what has that to do with MT. Thatcher? his friends ask.
 Another charge is that he employed absolute women. The only woman against whose character there was any suspicion was discharged, when MT. Thatcher was satisfied that she was not a fit person for a state school cr1- ploye. She was retained for a time upon the recommendation of the pas tor of the church she attended, and one of the resident trustees

APRETrY HoME WEDDING.

A very pretty home wedding occurred last evening at the residence of Giles Potter, 723 Elm street, when his daugh- ter, Miss Mary Redfeld Potter, was united in marriage to Mir. Frank I. An gell of Boston, Mass.
 The parlors were very tastefully deco rated with running pine and pink car- nations looped with pink ribbons. There were about forty guests comprising only the relatives and most intimate friends of the bride and groom, The bride wore becoming gown of white satin trimmed with lace and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Hattie J. Potter, a sister of the bride, was attired in pink silk and white lace, carrying a bouquet of pink carnations The best man was R. E. Jeffrey of Boston. Others attendants were a niece and nephew of the bride, Miss May Potter, aged six, and Master Keeney Potter, aged four. Miss May was dressed in pink and white and each carried white roses. The ceremony was performed by an uncle and a brother of the bride, Rev. Thomas E. Wright of Hartford, Conn, and Rev. E. W. Potter of Windsor, Vt. The presents were numerous and costly. The groom is well known in New Haven, and was formerly a prominent and greatly re- spected worker and president of the Y. 'P. S. .. E. of the Calvary Baptist church. The bride is also a highly es- teemed member of that church and Y. P. s. c. F. and teacher in the Sabbath school. She is the author of the inter esting story, "On the State House Steps" The bridal party left on an east bound train at o'clock.
