There have been great many ante lope near the Post of late, and we have been on ever so many hunts for them, wrote an officers bride from Colorado in 1871, in her letters published in the April Appleton's. The greyhounds have not been with us, however, for following the hounds when chasing those swift animals not only requires the fastest kind of a horse and very good riding, but is exceedingly dangerous to both horse and rider, be- cause of the many prairie dog holes that are terrible death traps. And besides, the dogs invariably get their feet full of cac- tus needles, that causes much suffering for days.
 Chasing wolves and rabbits is not as dangerous, for they cannot begin to run as fast as antelope. And 1t is great fun to chase the big jack rabbits. They know their own speed perfectly and have great confidence in 1t. When the hounds start one he will give one two jumps high up in he air to take look at things, and then he commences to run with great bounds, with the enormously long ears straight up like sails on a boat. and all most challenges the dogs to follow. But the poor hunted thing soon finds out that he must do better than that if he wishes to keep ahead, so down go the ears, hat along his back, and stretching himself out very straight, goes his very fastest, and then the real chase is on.
 But MT Jack Rabbit is cunning, and when he sees that the long-legged dogs are steadily gaining upon him and getting closer with every jump, he will invariably make a quick turn and run back on his own tracks, often going right underneath the fast running dogs that cannot stop themselves, and can only give vicious snaps as they jump over him. Their stride-often 15 and 20 feet-covers so much more ground that the rabbits, it is impossible for them to make quick turns, therefore 1t is genarally the slow dog of the pack that catches the rabbit And frequently wise old rabbit will make many turns and finally reach hole in safety.
 The tail of a greyhound is his rudder and his brake, and the sight is most Imaginable when whole pack of dogs arc trying to stop, each tail whirlng around like Dutch wind mill. Sometimes. in

Doubtful Powder.

From Judge
 One day. after listening to story par ticularly offensive with age, Lincoln Nc Connel. the Georgia evangelist, told this:
 A onld darkey went into store down in Georgia and asked:
 Say, boss. you got any gunpowdah heah?"
 "Yes, we have gunpowder''
 'Lemme see some of that theah gun powdah.'
 The dealer showed him some.
 Pore little of that powdah iu my hand"
 The old darky took the powder near the light. ran his forefinger around and around in it, looked at it critically and then smelled it two or three times.
 And you say this heah is powdah?'
 'Yess.' sharply answered the dealer; That is powder. What is the matter with it?'i
 Dunno boss''-the darky shook bis head doubtfully-''buth hit smells ter mo like hits done been shot off befoah"

MA.IN.LAW ASKS that
CASE Be DROPPED

Now, look here, George Meow
an, you leave your mother-in-law
alone In future. The fact that you
happened to marry her daughter
does not entitle you to strike her"
Thus said Judge Andrade to the de-
PENDANT In an assault and battery
case at the police court this morn
ing.
II appears that MCGOWAN had a
row with his wife's mother on ac-
count Of some family trouble. The
mother-in-law came to the sheriff
and swore out a complaint TO the
fact that McGowan had beaten,
bruised, Kicked and otherwise as
saulted her"
On the strength OF this complaint
McGowan was arrested and appeared
in court this morning. The com
planning witness then said that she
wished to drop the case, and Prose-
cutor Brown asked that the case be
nolle pressed. this was done, and
MCGOWAN left In company with his
mOther-in-law.

Chief Executive Refers to Doubt as
to When Hawaii Became a Ter.
ritory Of the United States,

"A good day to celebrate" was
what Governor Frear said this morn.
ing when he was asked II he had any
luminous idea on the annexation day
August 12th-and its significance
for memorial observance by the PEG.
pie OF the Territory of Hawaii.
ut is undecided just when we were
annexed to the United States" con.
tinued the Governor. "The actual
transfer Of sovereignty occurred elev.
en- years ago tomorrow. but the treaty
of annexation was approved on July
It'll. AS consequence, everyone is
not sure just when the annexation oc.
Cured. but for all purposes the 18th
Of August has been assumed to be the
date that Hawaii was actually an.
neXed."
Governor Frear did not know of
any plans for ceeblration and init.
mated that the observance of the day
last year. the tenth anniversary was
a time when special significance nat.
urally accompanied the day.
