Mr.. Cornelius Cool, celebrated hun

out hunting week before last, came in
contact with bear, which was about to
get the better of hi dogs. Mr.. c., after
emptying his rife at the bear, and
seeing bruin with two Of his best dogs
down against log, politely stepped up
and silenced him with his hunting knife

any himself, coming off more than con-

of reckless and daring disposition, he

quarters with another bear, in which he

tracked a large bear into q tree. The
tree being very large one, and not
wishing to cut it if they could scare the
bear out by any other way, they tried
pounding the tree, but with no success.
They then felled another tree against
the one the bear occupied. That still
failing to move bruin, our hunter con
cluded to climb the tree they had felled
against the one the bear was in. SO,
arming himself with good revolver he
went up without any difficulty. The
tree he went up having lodged close to
where the bear had entered the other
tree, Mr.. c. soon had a peep into
Bruins den, finding him lying at his
ease. Mr.. C. opened fire with his revol-
yer. AS soon as the first shot was fired,
the bear started out of his hiding place,
snorting and mad; and, while it was
getting out of the tree, Cool fred three
shots into him, which seemed to have
no effect on Mr.. Bear, who would have

A correspondent tells a story OF a pig,
This is not the first story that has been
told of a pig, but it has what has been
called "the element of uneXpectednes5'
about it. Piggy got into a large yard
where he did not belong, and trying to
get out again, he stuck fast under Il
high board fence, and there began to
kick and squeal i'll the good old way.
His master, a big fat lrshman, hearing
the hubbub, ran out of his house, near
by, and caught his pig by the ears, en-
deavoring to pull him through the hole
before his trespass was detected. But
this treatment had no effect but to make
the pig yell the more. An old ram i'll
the yard, hearing the noise, and seeing
piggy's hind-leg5 and tail tlourishing
away in menaclng maner, accepted
what he thought was a challenge, and,
lowering his head, chal ged with all his
might. He struck his mark squarely
and fairly, and the pig shot through the
hole like Il pork cannon-ball, and strik'
ing his master full in the breast,
knocked him fat on his back. The only
person who Witnessed this closing scene
was just entering the yard, and not
being aware how many actors We're en-
gagged in it, was very much surprised to
hear what he supposed to be the pig,
swearing in Irish on the other side of
the fence

For some weeks, the English railway
employees have been endeavoring to Sc


cure a reduction in the hours of labor.
Many meetings have been held in the
interest ~ this enterprise, and the Lon
don press has taken up the matter with
some spirit. Some of the statements of
the amount of work exacted from these
unfortunate people border on the in
credible. Yet they are all vouched for
on respectable authority, and the rail
way companies are challenged to dis
prove them. One man, a porter, is said
to have worked twenty three hours out
of the twenty.four on four successive
days. Instances where men had been
worked twenty.tour hours without u
moments cessation were frequent. An
engine. driver, who had been more than
twenty hours on his engine, was about
to knock off, when IL station master
made him take charge of another train.
One of the most cruel cases of all was
that of a man who, having worked from
8 o'clocl one morning till ii o'clock
the next, was told then not to leave the
station until night, as he might be
wanted. "And even for this period of
rest half days wages were deducted y


There is no question but that rail
way company demanding such hours
from its servants is criminally tritling
with the lives of its passengers. There
is limit to human endurance, and to
submit a train to an over-worked engi-
neer is almost to invite its destruction.
We trust that the reform in this respect
sought for in England will be effectively
carrie out. We have referred to the
subject chiefly because what is true
there may be equally here. We have
no reason to believe that the majority
of our railway companies are more con-
siderate of their passengers safety or
their servants health than English
railway corporations. Let us hear what
our engineers and switchmen have to say
on the subject.-New York Times.

San Jose Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle


The prospect for successful piscicul-
ture in this STATE, according to state
ments made, seems to be encouraging.
In this connection, it may be valuable
to fish raisers to note the following Incl.
dent, which II rccently occurred i'll this
locality Young Charles Hensley. sor
of the lamentei Major Ilensley. OF this
city, at considerable expense constructed
a pretty fish pond, or miniature lake, in
the splendid Hensley Park, at the edge
of the town. The pond was well stocked
with fish of the most approved varieties,
all of which We're thriving and doing
nicely, until one fine morning flock of
sea ducks, vulgarly known Us " hell
divers" took possession of the fish pond
Young Hensley soon discovered that
the divers were playing havoc with his
tinny pets, and at once set about trying
to exterminate the rapacious destroycrs.
This he found to be no easy task, for
this particular species of duck is famous
among sportsmen for its marvellous
agility in the act of diving. Hensley
demonstrated the oft-repeated assertion
that the bird can actually disappear at
the flash of gun and be out of danger
before the shot reaches the water. At
length the gentleman resorted to
stratagem. He discovered that the lit
tie divers, when fully satisfied that an
enemy was not about, would sometimes
come out upon the shore of the lake to
plume their feathers and sun them
selves. Taking advantage of this, Hens
ley succeeded in picking them off one
at time. until the entire brood were
annihilated Unfortunately, however,
the little rogues had succeeded in des-
troying nearly all the fish in the lake.
AS before stated, it may be well for fish
raisers to keep an eye out for "hell-

An improved construction of omni-
buses is noticed in the London papers


According to this arrangement the
load in the omnibus is below the center
of gravity, and instead Of the passengers
being inside the vehicle, as at present,
they are all outside of it. There is no
close box into which twelve human be-


ings are stuffed to inhale each others
exprations and exhalations, and no
crushing up or crowding in for a seat.
All inconveniences are avoided by plac-
ing the passengers back to back, instead
of face to face. There is only one hind
wheel, instead of two, and this one hind
wheel. placed in the center of the
vehicle, does the work of the two now
used. A light and elegant roof covers
the two rows of seats, and reaches down
in front far enough to shelter the pas
sengers from rain or sun, but not far
enough to obstruct their view OF the
opposite side OF the street in which they
are going. There are aprons also which
draw up from the foot board as a pro-
lection in wet weather. The vehicle Is,
therefore, much lower than the present
omnibus. A passenger steps in and out
at one effort from the street into his or
or her own separate place or division.
The huge wheel at the back is quite
concealed, and revolves in a closed case
or sheath some twelve inches in width.
The seats being on two sides, the end
admits of being we'll padded at the back
and cushioned, rendering them perfectly
comfortable. 1t is claimed that there is
an important economy in this method
of construction, as there are no doors,
no glazing, no painting of sides, no in.
ternal panellng, and only three wheels
the weight of the vehicle will not be
more than two,thirds of the present one.

THOMAS GARDNER was in town this week from the Sonoita valley. He reports the crops ready for har- vesting and the yield abundant. The Indians have already made several raids in the valley and have killed two men and are constantly lowering around watching opportunities to mur- der and steal. MT. Gardner says he has escaped death during the past fourteen years and has only once been shot through the lungs, and intends to test his luck until he can harvest his crop He thinks if the Indians had any gratitude or business sense, they would not attempt to kill him, for the reason that he has worked hard and they have taken the fruits of his labor ever since he came to the Territory, and he would now be per- fectly willing to compromise with them and give one third annually of all he raises if they let him alone.

The Committee of One Hundred, ap- pointed and specially charged by the people of San Francisco to attend to the interests of that city in railroad matters, held a meeting May p and presented @ plan of organizations of a railroad company to be named the San Francisco and Atlantic Railroad Company, to build a railroad from San Francisco to the Colorado, under the laws of California. The capital stock of the Company IS $25,000,O0O. The object of the committee is to at once commence the construction of the road either in connection with the Atlantic and Pacific Company, or independent of any other organiza- tion, as events may prove best. We are pleased to see the capitalists of San Francisco taking hold of this matter. They have too long felt se- cure in their own natural advantages without making any effort to connect their trade with the outer world, and they have succeed in building @ city quite too large for the resources that feed it. The building of this road; will at once secure to San Francisco the trade of all Western, Central and Northern Arizona and, in fact, the whole of Arizona, if it should be completed in advance of the Texas Pacific; and will aid materially in developing the vast mineral wealth of the Territory. If the road was now built to the Colorado it would pay, and as soon as the road is completed the business will increase ten fold.
