NOT A GOOD HOLIDAY.

OFrom the Lowell Courier JournalD
New Years day is now a legal holi-
day in New Hampshire, and II got about
as much attention on its first observance
as Washington's birthday does in this
State. Tho banks and public offices
were closed and a few mills stoned for
the day, and that was all Everything
else went on as usual. Nobody who
has a job cares to loaf day so soon
after Christmas. That day IL sufYicient
holiday for the winter season. II an
other must be injected into the years
holidays, Columbus day is preferable, as
October weather Is apt to be better than
January's. New Hampshire may retain
New Years in tho list IL It wishes but
It will never amount to much. This
State Ia not likely to add It to its red
letter days.

THE TRAGEDY OF SEAL HUNTING.

With a gaff the hunter delivers a rapid
blow upon the nose Of the seal, tho
most vulnerable point. and in the case
of the young seals this ends their exis-
tcnce nstantaneously. In moment the
man is on his knees. his large Jack
knife is at work. and the skin. with
the adhering fat. Is rapidly detached
from the carcass. which is left on the
ice The pelts. as the skin and fat are
called. are then bound up in bundles,
marked with n flag TO denote ownership,
and then either allowed to remain on
the ice until the ship approaches the
spot or-where this is possible--drag-
ged by the men over the hummocky sur
fact to the steamers side.
The old seals. however. are not so cas-
lily disposed of. The skull and hide OF
the dog seal are frequently so thick that
ne cannot be killed with the gafY used
on the younger ones. In this event he
s shot with rife. and each squad of
seal-hunters carries at least one gun
intended for this purpose. 4 peculiar
chm RI cteristic Of the male seal is a
hood or bag OF flesh. on his nose. When
attacked or enraged the creature in
flntes this hood so as to cover the face
and eyes, ard II Is then strong enough
to resist steel shot. When thus protect
ed the animal can only be killed by
shooting him in the neck at the base OF
the skull. The seal will fight desperately
in defence Of it's mate and young ones
and ~ they are killed he becomes fur
ious and Initiates his hood. while his
nostrils dilate into two huge bladders
His appearance as, with uncouth, found
ering leaps, he PUSHES on his foe Is most
awe-nspiring
Instances have occurred where a fight
between an old dog hood" and 1--WE OF
six men has lasted for an hour and
sometimes the hunter Ia fearfully torn
and even killed in the encounter. Or
one occasion two hunters attacked a
pair of seals and foolishly killed the
female first. The old male instantly in
dated his hood and rushed at them fur.
iously They fouglt him with theil
gaffs until nearly exhausted. and a ter
ribie death threatened both. As a last
desperate resource one Of them resolved
to dash In upon the inruriated brute
while the other stood by ready for emer
gencies. Drawing his jack-knife, the
hunter rushed ON the dog-hood ant
struck a well-planted blow into thcb In
iated hood. Instantly the air escaped
and the shield was rendered useless
when blow on the nose from the gan
of the other dispatched him.-From III,
