very soon after his departure we heard a
shot, followed at once by yells for aid
When we arrived, there sat the incompar-
able, perched on a Jagged stump, with half
a dozen peccaries jumping at him
These small porkers were in one of their
raging, tearing passions, and the destined
victim did well to get out OF their way;
although he need not have sworn that
there were SEQ there when his appeal for
assistance was made, nor turned entirely
green with fear.
We soon extricated him; but these little
wild hogs are really dangerous, and it was
only a few days after this somewhat lame
and important conclusion" OF Francisco's
pursuit Of an imaginary tiger that an
opportunity offered To see how fierce and
how formidable peccaries can become.
While hunting i'm the forest some distance
above this spot, our attention was ar
rested by frightful commingling of roars,
TuntS and squealings, pressing forward
towards which we got up in time to see the
last act in one of those strange dramas
which few people have witnessed, not-
withstanding that their occurrence cannot
be very rare.

The Indian who had been attacked by a
tiger exhibited symptoms of dangerous
shock. One derivation of the Indian word
jaguar is referred by Emanuel Liais to that
crushed state which follows it's spring.
The animal ranks third in bulk and weight
among great cats, and the striking force OF
a body like this, launched by such mus
Giles, must be tremendous, even without
aid from tooth or claw.
Moreover, people make mistakes about
the physical condition of these natives.
On account of poor food and unsanitaTy
habits they possess much less strength,
endurance or vitality than is popularity
supposed TO belong TO them. Moreover,
this is a deficiency which attaches TO all
men in the same grade and similarly ill
provided. Scientific travellers have never
found the savage of romance in any coun-
try.

The junk dealer looked startled, for
the question betokened an intimate
knowledge Of the jargon Of his kind.
why. yes, guess so. :" he responded
when he could get his breath. What
the buyer meant was an old sewing ma
chine which could be turned in to the
sewing machine company as part pay
ment ON a new machine. The company
allows IS on an old machine, and some
times the agent or canvasser allows IS
more out of his commission on the sale.
The public imagines that in some
way these old machines are valuable to
the company, but, in truth. they are Of
use only as arguments in forcing a sale.
In the standard makes Of machines there
is supposed to be absolutely no cut in
prices, and the only way that seeming
reduction can be made is by taking in
an old machine and allowing for it.
The company does this not for the sake
of getting the machine, but for the sake
of making a trade. Once the old timer
is in their possession it is broken up and
sold to junk dealer.
The companies know, Of course. that
a large number Of the families who
turn in old machines said to have been
bought by them before the food really
come from the secondhand stores and
cost only g. At this rate the buyer gets
an allowance Of $40. which, deducting
the 81. leaves net 90. If there does hap
pen to be an old one in the possession Of
the family, the whole $40 Is realized. -

RELIC OF PAST AGE.



Mr. Glenn Brown, the architect. has
an interesting relic in the shape of an
old newspaper, probably one OF the old
est publications to be found in this
country. IL is The Virginia Gazette
and Alexandria Advertiser, published
in Alexandria. The copy is dated Thurs
day, April 20, 1893. The motto Of the
paper, which is printed under the title,
Is as follows:
o thou by whose almighty nod the scale
or empires rises or alternate falls,
Send forth the saving virtues round this landl
There is no mention made Of the
names of the publishers or editors, but
an advertisement which is inserted,
asks for rags, old seines. fishing 3
and the like to be brought to the office,
so that paper can be made from it.
From this il would seem that the firm
manufactured its own paper.
In the news columns, which form but q
small portion OF the paper, the adyer-
tisements covering greater part, is a
dispatch dated London. Feb. 20 pre-
vious, giving an account Of an insurrec-
ton in Ireland There are also publish
ed Paine's reasons for preserving the
life of Louis Capet. The plan of the
new French constitution is given and
a number Of dispatches from Paris ap-
pear.
One of the most interesting advertise
ments in the paper is that Of lottery.
1t states that it will be given by the
commissioner appointed to prepare the
public buildings. etc, within the city
of Washington for the reception of con-
gress and for their permanent residence
after the year 1900. Samuel Blodgett
was the agent for the affair III this city.
The capital prize was a hotel, with all
furnishings valued at $50, 900. There
were cash prizes of S25, 900, the whole
amounting to $3.50. 600. The lottery,
by the way, was never held. as much
opposition was developed against it.
Samuel Blodgett was the one whose
heirs claimed IA large portion of the ma
tional capital.
There are several advertisements for
runaway slaves. offering rewards Of
from So to SIC. There is an offer Of a
reward of $40, which would seem large
compared with those offered for the
runaway slaves. for eight bushels Of
clover seed, stolen from Mount Vernon.
The advertisement goes on to state that
the clover seed was stolen from the
granary and is supposed TO have been
taken by negroes. 1t is signed by An
thony Whiting. who was Washington 8
overseer.
There is an advertisement in the pa
per of the celebrated horse Eclipse, from
which many Of the thoroughbred horses
Of the present day have descended.
There is also an advertisement of the
opening of the city tavern at the sign
