The following is a brief description
OF the methods used In capturing those
ANIMALS: No firearms, nor dogs. nor
anything else which alarm the ti1nid
creatures are permitted upon the
islands When they first make their
appearance in July, upon the beach,
the Aleuts pass among them without
attempting IN any way to modest them
until they become quite accustomed to
the human form. Then the younger
males (for the older bulls, as they are
called, would run right over a mani are
gently separated and driven by easy
stages and as quietly as possible
toward the interior of the island and
into pens, where they are out of the
sight and hearing Of their comrades
on the beach. Once here, they are dis
patched with cubs, their hides taken
off and salted, down for export. The
grayish appearance of the fur seal skin
is given to it by the color of the longer
hairs which overlie the fur. In prepar-
ing the skins Tor use these long hairs
are all pulled out leaving upon the
skin the close, downy fur.


Asshowing the timidity of these valu-
able animals, it is said that at the dis
charge of fowling piece or the attack
of dog is sufficient to drive the seals
away forever from a rookery which they
have tenanted for immemCrial ages.
Once frightened off they never return,
or at least they have never done so
within the memory of man. The most
probable supposition is that they are
guided by the same unerring instinct
which prompts the salmon and the shad

The Alaska seals are the most timid
animals that live. They are of medium
size, and of grayish color, and the
male is ornamented with whiskers like

slaughter has completely expelled
them from all points, just as the same
nnwise doing is depicting many Of oul

known to man. On the islands named

ago wisely placed restrictions upon seal
hunting, to which wise foresight we
owe the fact that the animal is not an

verdict was as follows: "We find that
the defendant struck Elizabeth Rhodes, his
wife, three licks with switch about the
size of oDe of his fingers (but not as large
as a mans thumb) without any provocation
except some words uttered by her and not
recollected by the witness"


On this return the verdict ''not guilty"
was entered by the Judge, and the appel
late court allows it to stand, saying:


SIT will be observed that the ground up
on which we have put this decisien is not
that the husband has the right to whip his
wife much or little; but that we will not in
terfere with family government in trifiag
cases. We will no more interfere where
the husband whips the wife than
where the wife whips the husband; and yet
we would hardly be supposed to hold that
a wife has right to whip her husband.
We will not intict upon society the greater
evil of raising the curtain upon domestic
privacy to punish the lesser evil Of trifiing

Cincinnati is about making some
improvements which must prove of
great advantage to the coal and 9TH
er shipping interests, being the
utilizing of certain lands lying on
the wharf and hitherto remaining
idle. On these it is proposed to
erect three large steam elevators,
one for transferring coal and coke
from boats and barges to cars one
for transferring ore from rail to river
and one for the general transfer of
heavy heights from river to rail and
back again. An ice harbOr is also
contemplated, behind which the
steamboats, and fleet of barges may
lie in perfect safety and be saved
from the repetition of such disasters
as were witnessed there few weeks
ago on the breaking up of the ice,
and also to furnish a harbor for
such an amount OF coal flats as will
make coal famine again an i'm
probability. 1t is expected also to
make this the seat of transfer to the
empty coal barges from Pitts burgh,
Ashland and Sheridan of the Miss
Ouri ores sent there by rail, thus
utilizing the barges on their upward
trip where they now are empty. 1t
is also expected TO make Cincinnati
the shipping point of coal by rail to
Chicago and Indianapolis, instead of
from Pittsburg as heretofore.
There will then be the best point
for the cotton and leaf tobacco to
leave the river for New York,
Baltimore and Europe, with which
view an Atlantic line of steamers
from Baltimore are expected to CO.
operate. This enterprise assumes
great proportions and is expected to
accomplish great results for the
