How Alaska Natives Hunt Bears.
(San Francisco Chronlcle.)

Bear hunting as pursued by the
Alaska native Is an interesting game
remarked j. z. Gardiner, Nome
miner.
II witnessed a bear hunt on Kadiac
Island few months ago. A big brown
bear, one OF the species Familiarity
known on Kadiac Island and the other
Aleutian islands, was Fostering the set
tlement, and native who bore a wide
reputation for prowess among his peo-
pie decided to go after the animal. Be-
fore starting on the expedition, how
ever, he went to his mother and OBJ
tanned her permission. His mother
was the oldest woman of the tribe, and
without her consent he wouldn't have
stirred an inch. She gave her consent,
go the native hunter, armed only with
knife, started out. Three more Of US,
with rifles. accompanied him. We
agreed among us to allow the native
to have the first chance at the bear and
to shoot only If he failed to kill the
beast.
1--WE came upon the bear in a ravine.
the bear came up. We became quite
excited. It was to be a hand to- hand
battle, and we feared the native would
get the worst of 1t. AS the bear ap-
preached the native 1t reared on it's
hind legs. We had our guns ready for
instant action. But the guns were not
needed. Quick as flash the native
sprang up and had his knife plunged
into the animals heart and was away
several steps before the bear knew
what had happened. 1t was a death
blow, and we packed the pelt back to
Karluk in triumph"

"reminiscences of Gen. Logan.

~
Gen Logan was popular in the army.
His friends called him John. and he
generally had his room filled with off,
GERS, he receiving" in shirt sleeves He
was part Irish, part Indian, and wholly
Americans handsome man slightly
above the medium height, having coal
black eyes and long, straight, black
hair, which hung all about the head
and, II remember correctly, turned
in all around. His hair was probably
accounted for by his Indian blood AS
to the Indian blood, I had that informa-
ton directly from one who knew him
very well. He was impulsive. Being a
good stump speaker, he was frequently
called upon to speak for the veteran
cause--that is, to urge the men who
had enlisted for three years and served
that term, thus emitting themselves to
be regarded as veterans, and who wished
to stop at the expiration Of their term,
to re-enlfst as veterans.
When l was i'm the post office at
Cairo, ILL.,, after having served about a
year in the army, / got leave from the
Postmaster and went down to the front
to see Gen. Logan. / told him that
came to get that staff position he had
promised me when he was in Cairo. He
SAID was TOO late, that an order had
just been issued from Washington say
ing that no staff appointments could in
future be made from civil life. But"
said he, II can get you horse, and il
you can get blouse and saber you can
ride with me as volunteer Aid, paying
your share of the mess table," / did
so, forgetting to go back to Cairo
(Which remissness was afterwards con-
doned), and when l had been with him
about two weeks. I think, was offered
the Adjutancy of the 18th ILL.,, which
gladly accepted. for there is no other
position in the army I would rather fill
than that Of Regimental Adjutant.
Once when Gen. Logan was coming
in from the front at Shiloh l handed
him a dispatch which had been on the
road two weeks before I received 1t,
which said / was wanted at home; that
my father was dying. Just then the
guns at the front were heard by both
of u.s.
well, my boy" said the General,
your father will be buried by the time
you get home. Don't you hear those
guns? The war-horse snuffs the bat
tie from afar off,
"All right, General" answered, and
went back to work. to mourn alone.

ana sufficient reason for Assigning you
to this duty"
Handing me . cigar and lighting one
himself. he commenced asking me ques-
tons regarding the feeling Of the rank
and file In relation to the siege. He
seemed to be anxious to know just what
the men thought Of the operations, as
they were being carried on. II the
men were contented and were cheer
fully performing their duties. II / had
heard any expressed fear that Gen. Joe
Johnson would cause the siege to be
raised. In fact, the whole tenor Of
questions asked seemed to be In the
line Of finding out what the general
feeling Of the army was. Whenever
showed q desire to go, he would say.
There is no need Of your going out In
this rain. 1 think the boys will hold
our lines all right"
/ have never met q more pleasant
and affable gentleman. While he has
always borne the title OF the "Grca,
Silent Commander" yet In the hour and
a half spent I'm his tent he proved him
self to be a ready conversationalist
When I left him felt that I had never
been in the presence OF a commanding
officer OF any rank who had treated me

The losses OF the enemy are past md

Blakely account for 70 killed and $50
wounded at that place and Spanish
Fort; but the reports do not include
the operations Of Steele's forces on the
march or the preliminary operations at
Spanish Fort and Blakely, and no re-

Fort during the bombardment OF the

originally reported was nearly 5000, but
the number accounted for by the Pro-
vost- Marshall was four Gener-
ais. 304 commissioned officers Of lower
grades, and 4,616 enlisted men; total,
4,924. The other results were the cap
ture of numerous flags, 231 pieces Of
artillery and large quantity of army
material and naval stores, the details Of
which are at this time inconsequential.
Subsequent Operations.
The subsequent operations will be
briefly stated: Bertram's Brigade of
the Thirteenth Corps was charged with
the duty of holding the works and col
lecting the captured property on the
east side of Mobile Bay. The Sixteenth
Corps was put in march for Montgom-
cry on the 14th. Grierson, with 1000
effective cavalry, was sent on the 18th
on Smiths right flank to cover as much
ground as possible and break up all
communications between Johnston's and
Taylor's armies. Benton was sent with
his division to close up the Tombigbee
River, and in conjunction with the navy
to prevent the egress of the rebel gum
boats. Steele, with his original infantry
force and some artillery, was sent by
water to Montgomery, conveyed by the
navy and the remainder of the cavalry
force was organized into a brigade I'M
der West for operations west of the
Tombigbee. Steele and Smith had Mont
gomery; Grierson, with the cavalry, was
at Eufaula, Union Springs, and Benton
was in position, when further opera
tons were stayed by the armistice; but

afternoon of the S1St to Stockton, where
partial supplies were obtained, and on
the morning of April l continued his
march, Spurling's cavalry being in ad-

the remedy that does it is the invention
Of DR.. j. w. Blosser, the eminent south
ern doctor and minister, who has for
over 81 years been identified with the
cure of catarrh in all it's worst forms.
His discovery is unlike anything you
ever had before, as it is not q spray,

inc tried-and-true cure that clears out
the head, nose, throat and lungs so
