In order to be followed the bee must
have distinguishing mark that can

the Australian provides it. He gums
a small tuft of white cotton to the

comparative ease. But the question
now comes up. how is the cotton to be

The gum is quickly found; it is on

burg" It concludes with an extract

George came In to-day, and such
= description as he gave of the de-
struction and desolation in the coun-
tyi Oakland, where our things were,
was completely sacked. 1 had fitted
up two rooms with my own furniture,
lace curtains and mantel aud toilet
ornaments. 1 left a pantry stocked
with provisions for many months. a
cedar chest full of handsome cloth

In boxes, and even my little trunk full
of sewing materials, and my writing
desk and work table just as they
stood. The soldiers cut the carpets
into strips with their penknives and
tore the lace curtains from the win
dows with their bayonets. Valuable
books were torn from their covers
and thrown to the winds. Our cloth
ing was piled in heap in the yard
and barrels of -four and molasses
poured over it. The men stirred the
heap with their bayonets and called
it rebel stew They tore my bon
nets up, tied the pieces to their bed
posts and even went so far in their
wanton mischief as to kill a sheep in

stories we heard of such things,
looked upon them as newspaper items
gotten up for excitement. yet ours
was only one OF many cases.
But / must tell you about our In

discussion il was decided that I had
better go to Grant and ask him to
send us out with our soldiers as pris-
oners of war to New Orleans. We
feared the exposure OF the children

their underground life and scant fare
and the hardships of travel in wag-
ons. So Jennie and called upon Gen.
Grant, who received us with every
courtesy, and given US papers which
would secure us transportation
through his lines. He behaved
throughout our interview like brave
soldier and kindly gentleman. He ex-
pressed himself as being anxious to

the heroism and self-sacrifice of our
army as much as could ask, and as

FOXES ATTACK DEER.
Rescued Just In Time by q Hunter
and His Guides.
Singular Forest IacideRt Away Up tn
tho wilds Of Msine-Gentie Crea-
ture Blested Dat Its Craft
tude to Its DeIiverers.

A correspondent Of the New York
Sun, writing from Norcross, Me-, says
that James Mayberry, 3 drummer for
. Boston Wholesale house, has lately
returned from two weeks vacation
trip to the woods of Maine and re-
ports that the French Canadians and
Indians have been making great
slaughter among the deer and moose
by chasing them on snowshoes. The
weather has been very favorable for
crust hunting all through March. The
snow was from three to four feet
deep on the level and coated with a
very fine crust, which would not hold
the fleeing animals, but which cut
deeply into their flesh, causing many
TO bleed to death from their self-in-
flicted wounds. Nat Romeo, an Indian
who had been discharged from a lum-
Der camp, shaved a set of Norwegian
skis from green beech wood, and killed
eight deer in walking home, IS miles.
While on his vacation the drummer
took trip with game warden and
three guides to capture two living deer
TO put into q park near Waterville.
The party went to q cedar swamp near
Sebois, and in two days caught eight
deer, all of which died from exhaus-
ton and wounds inflicted by the crust
before they could be taken out to the
railroad for shipment. They secured
five deer on the second attempt, two
of which survive and are now doing
we'll in confinement.
During this hunt Mr.. Mayberry and
two guides were crossing the head of
Schoodic lake one morning on snow
shoes when a deer came out of the
dense cedar swamp and made a dash
to cross the lake. AS long as the an
imal remained near the woods where
the crust was thick 1t made good head
way. but upon approaching the edge
OF the lake, where the sun had thawed
the snow and made it soft the creature
was buried to it's neck at every leap.
At times it fell on it's side and made
heroic efforts to regain its footing,

self with its sharp hoofs. The men,
who were behind a small island at the
time, were about to capture the deer,
when four large foxes came out from
the cedars and followed the path of the
deer, nosing out its tracks with the ac-
curacy of trained hounds. AS this was
something new TO the party the men
waited to watch proceedings.
The foxes came on silently, wagging
their bushy tails and winding in and
out among the islands, keeping on the
course the deer had made. AS they
came around the end of the last island
the deer had turned end over end in its
struggle TO get along and was lying
with its head toward the foxes. No
sooner did the animal see its foes than
it redoubled its efforts to get away,
but the foxes were light and had large
hairy feet that would hold them up on
the lightest snow, and inside of five
minutes they were on the deer's back
biting at its throat to open an artery
so the poor beast would bleed to death.
The hunters, who had believed that
no fox could kill a deer, and had not for
a moment contemplated the outcome
of the ARRAY, took up their rifles and
shot two of the foxes, thinking that
the sound of firearms would scare the
survivors away, but they continued to
worry the fallen deer until the men
had fired again, killing another fox.
whereupon the fourth one walked off
to the woods, casting regretful chances
behind.
On arriving at the scene of the con-
fiict the deer, which was exhausted
but not badly injured, seemed grateful
for the rescue, tapping the hands of
the men with it's soft tongue and
bleating out its Thanksgiving in a
way that anyone could understand.
This was one of the two deer that was
able to withstand the severe strain of
capture and is now doing nicely in
large park, where it has all the hay s.nd
grain 1T can eat and where no harmful
animals can annoy it,

Then the old blind war veteran, who
could not see the little face growing
paler and thinner, fretted because the

we had to invent reasons.

She looked up with wide eyes star

she shivered.

HAD SAVAGE LOVERS.
Women Of Refinement Who Eloped
with Coarse Barbarfans.
A Phase of Love-Makins Which IL
Above the Average Conprehen-
sion Notable Cases wkfch
Have Become Historic.

The student of mysteries who may
have tired OF trifing with such sub
!ects as the food supply of the plan
cts might be advised to devote his at
tention to solving the problem Of the
love Of some women for men who are
morally, physically and intellectually
their interiors. It is one of those
things no ordinary mind can under
stand.
1t was only a few years ago that the
daughter of a Johannesburg physi-
clan ran away with Zulu chief who
Glanced to visit the Rand about some
gold he had discovered in the land
under his control. The girl, who was
only II. is described as having been
unusually good-lool1ing, of very sweet
disposition and refined tastes.
When it was first discovered that
she had run away with the savage the
general opinion obtained that the
chief had kidnapped her; but when she
was tracked to the mans hut and
asked to return home it was found
that not only had she run away Of
her own free will, but she absolutely
refused TO leave the chief, even though
to learn the degradation of her posi-
ton, and the chief had offered to ex-
change her for a few trihes. What
eventually became of her will prob
ably never be known.
The young wife of French gentle
man, while staying in Alexandria, be-
came desperately enamored with a
half-caste who used to visit the mar
ket-place occasionally. The fact that
this lady and the savage, for he was
nothing else, met frequently in the
public streets of Alexandria was not
even suspected by her husband until
the two had flown Nvay together. With
the lady went all the money and jew
els she could hurriedly collect, which
amounted to considerable sum, as
she had a large fortune.
The black was noted in Alexandria
