A New Jersey Muskrat Farm.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Judge Dufield of Cedarville, Cumber-
land county, N. j., is the owner Of one
of the most unique farms in the State Of
sandy roads and mosquitoes. He runs a
muskrat "fRrm," and in way, too, that
is profitable to himself Duffield about
two years ago found that an extensive
piece Of marsh he owned along the shores
Of Delaware bay, near his home, was of
no use, unless he turned it into q musk
rat "farm." This he did, and he bids
fair OF becoming quite weIl-to-do in q
few years from the proceeds Of the
rodents, which are rapidly increasing in
numbers. Dufield secured number of
muskrsts and placed them on his "farm,"
which was we'll adapted for the purpose.
He kept a watchful eye on his charges
and really took as much interest in the
outcome Of his new venture as he did
in his crop Of potatoes and melons.

Death Of a Great Hunter.
ne Courier des Etats Unis.

From the Courier des EtSts Unis
A great hunter has just died in Cochin.
China, where he lived for the past
twenty-seven years. His name was
Wetzel. He was an Alsatian. During
the war of 1870 he served in a French
regiment Of cuirassiers, and at the close
Of the war he asked to be sent to Cochin
China. His request was granted, and he
was employed In that country as game
keeper. Soon he became famous by bis
exploits. His hunting record, which he
used to show with pride, fOots up eighty
nine elephants, thirty tigers, twenty.One
panthers, five rhinoceroses, about twenty
wild buffaloes, and an immense number
Of bears, deer, etc. The natives held him
in great veneration on account OF the
services which he rendered to them.
AT one time two tigers carried away
some persons in the neighborhood Of
Tayninh. On being notified of the fact
by the authorities, Wetzel set out in
the night to hunt them. Concesling
himself In one Of the haunts Of the
beasts he shot them down one after the
other. He never used any stratsgems;
all his hunting was done in a bold and
daring fashion, and more than once he
came near losing his Life. One day
while hunting buffaloes he was charged
by bull, The natives are more afraid
OF bull buffalo than they are Of a tiger.
Wetzsl was knocked down and paved by

The slave and the Man.

From the Washington Post.
Two members from Mississippi we're
swapping stories during the intervals
between refreshments, when, in an aoci.
dental way, the name OF ex-senator
Blanche X. Bruce was mentioned. "That
reminds me-" said one, "of story told
me long ago by barkeeper at the Ebbitt.
/ was in there one day when Bruce came
in, went into one OF the side rooms, and,
having been served, walked out without
saying anything to anyone.
"'You don't draw the color line here,
John I remarked to the barkeeper.
"'Not on that man, sir, don't, was
the reply. II have had a pretty good
opinion Of him since little thing that
happened soon after he first came here.
"'Bruce was in his seat at the Capitol
one day, when q card was brought to
him. He read it and at once went out
to the waiting room. There he met q
woman who owned him when he was a
slave. With her was her daughter.
Both were in tears. She had lost all OF
her property during the war and was
absolutely penniless The Negro once
her slave was the only man she knew in
Washington. She appealed to him,
Bruce listened to her story, He got his
hat and went outside with her. His
carriage, drawn by handsome pair Of
bays, was waiting there. He called the
carriage, assisted the mother and dsugh-
ter to enter it with as much difference as
he could possibly have shown them in
the old plantation days, closed the door
and told the cORchman to drive to che
treasury. Then he called public cab
and followed. The three entered the
treasury together, and before Bruce
came out he had placed in the hands Of
the woman he had once called "missus"
an appointment to q clerkship in the
Treasury Department
"That," added the Mississippi member,
twas the reason why the barkeeper
didn't draw the color line at Blanche X.
Bruce, and it seems TO ms the reason
was a mighty good one, too"
