EVENING STAR. CHASED BY A BEAR. The following extract from ‘‘ The Hunters Feast’’ forms the conclusion of a narrative by the ‘ hunter naturalist’’ about a “ Deer Hant in a‘ Dug Out.’’’ He and ‘ Dick’’ were af- ter vension in their canoes by torch light: ‘*We bad scarcely passed this point when my attention was attracted by a pair of fery orbs that glistened out of some low bushes upon the bank of the river. I saw that they were the eyes of some animal, but what kind of animalj I could not guess. I knew they were not the eyesof adeer. Their uliar scintillation, their lesser size, the wide space between them—all convinced me they were not deer’s eyes Moreover, they moved at times, as if the head of the animal was car- ried about in irregular circles. This is never the case with the eyes of the deer, which either pass hurriedly from point to point or remain with a fixed and steadfast gaze. I knew, therefore, it was no deer; but no matter what? It wassome wild creature, and all euch are alike the game of the prairie- hunter. I took aim, and pulled the trigger. While doing so 1 heard the voice of my companion warning mo, as I thought, not to fire. I won- dered at this admonition, but it was too late to heed it, for it had been uttered almost sim- ultaneously with the report of my rifle. I first looked to the bank to witness the ef fect of my shot To my great surprise the eyes were still there, gleaming from the bush- es as brightly as ever. Had 1 missed my aim? It is true the voice of my companion had somewhat disconcerted me; but i still believed that my bullet must have sped truly, as it had been delivered with a good aim As [ turned to Dick for an explanation, a new sound feil upon my ear that explained all, at the same time causing me nv slight feeling of alarm. It was a gound not unlike that sometimes uttered by terrified swine, but louder and more threatening I knew it well—I knew it was the snort of the grizaly bear! Of all American animals, the grizzly bear is the most to be dreaded. Armed or unarm ed, wan is no match for him, and even the courageous hunter of these parts shun the encounter. This was why my companion had admonished me not to fire. I thought I had inissed it; it was notso. My bullet had hit and stung the fieree brute to madness, and a quick cracking among the bushes was imme- diately followed by a heavy plunge ; the bear was iu the water. **Good heavens, he’s after us!’ cried Dick in accents of alarm, at the same time propel- a the dug-cut with all bis might. ( proved true enough that the bear was af- ter us, and the very first plunge had brought his nose almost up to the side of the cance. However, a few well-directed strokes of the paddle set us in quick motion, and we were soon gliding rapidly down stream, followed by the enraged animal, that every now and then uttered one of bis fierce snorts. What rendered our situation « terrible one Was, that we could not now see the bear, nor tell how far he might be from us. All to the rear of the canoe was of a pitchy darkness ia consequence cf the screen of birch bark No object could be distinguished in that direc- tion, and it was only by hearing him that we could tell he was some yards off. The snorts, however, were more or less distinct, as heard amid the varying roar of the waterfall; and sometimes they scemed as if the snout from which they proceeded was close up to our atern. We knew that if he once laid his paw upon the canoe we should either be sunk or com- pelied to leap out and swim for it. We knew, mnvreover, that such an event would be cer- tain death to one or both of us, at least. I need hardly affirm that my companion used his paddle with all the energy of des- pair. I assisted him as was in my power with the butt eud of my gun, which was now emp- ty. On account of the hurry and darkness I had not attempted to reload it. We had shot down stream for a hundred yards or so. and were about congratulating ourselyes on the prospect of an escape from the bear, when a new object of dread pre- sented itself to cur terrined imaginations. This chject was the sound of falling water; but not as before, coming from some tributary stream. No. 1t was the fall of a river upon which we were floating, and evidently a very short distance below us. We were, in fuct, within lees than one hun- dred yards of it. Our excitement, in conse- quence of being pursued by the bear, as well as the fact that the sound of the cascade above still filed our ears, had prevented us from perceiving the new danger until we had approached it. A shout of terror and warning from my com- panion seemed the echo of one I had myself uttered. Both of us understood the peril of our situation, and both, without speaking an- other word, set about attempting to etop the boat. We paddled with all our strength—he with the oar while I used the flat butt of my rifle. We had succeeded in bringing her to a sort of equilibrium and were in hopes of being able to force her towards the bank, when all at once we heard a heavy object strike against the stern. At the same moment the bow rose up into the air, and a number of the burning pine knots fell back into the bottom of the canoe. They still continued to blaze, and their light now falling toward the stern showed us a fearful object. The bear had seized hold of the dug-out, and his fiercs head and long curving claws were visible over the edge. Although the little craft danced about upon the water, and was likely to be turned keel upward, the animal showed no intention of relaxing his hold ; but on the contrary seemed every moment mounting higher in the canoe Our peril was now extreme. We knew it, and the knowledge half paralyzed us. Both of us started up, and forsome moments half sat, half crouched, uncertain how to act Should we use the puddles and get the canoe ashore, it would only be to throw ourselves into the jaws ot the bear. On the other hand wecould not remain as we were; in «few seconds we should be drifted over the falis; and how high these were we knew not. We had never hear@ of them ; they might be fift feet—they might be ahundred! High enoug they were, no doubt, to precipitate us into eternity. . ‘The prospect was appalling, and our thoughts ran rapidly. Quick action was required. I could think of no other than to lean stern- ward, and strike at the bear with my clubbed rifle, at the same time cailing upon my com- anion to paddle for the shore. We pre- ferred, under all circumstances, risking the chances of aland encounter with our grizzly antagonist. I nad succeeded in keeping the bear out of the canoe by several well planted blows upon the snout, and Dick was equaily suocersful in forcing tue dug-out nearer to the bank, when a sharp crack reached my ears, followed by a terrified cry from my companion. 1 glanced suddenly around, to ascertain the cause of these demonstrations. Dick held in his hands a short stick, which 1 recognized asthe shaft of the paddle. The biade had snapped off, and was floating away on the surface. = We were now helpless. The manage of ths canoe was no longer possible. Over the falls she must go! We thought of leaping out, but it was too late. We were almost upon the edge, and the black current that bore our craft ary along, would have carried our like velocity. We could not make a dosen strokes before we should be swept to the brink; it was too late We both saw this; and each knew tho feel_ ings of the other, for we felt alike. Neither spoke; but, crouching down and the gunwales of the cance, we waited the awful moment. _ The bear seemed to have some en- sion as well as ourselves ; for, i of oon- tinuing his endeavors to climb into the canve he contented himself with holding fast to the stern, tly under some alarm. The torch still blased, and the canoe was catching fire ; perhaps it was this that alarmed the bear —— sed circumstance gave us at the mo- ent little concern; the greater danger eclipsed the less. We had hardly noticed Fit, when wo felt that we were going over The canoe shot outward as it propelled by projective force; then came a loud crash; as though we had dropped upon a hard rock Water, and spray, and froth. were dashed over our bodies; and the next moment, to our furprise as well as delight, we felt oum selves still alive and seated in the canoe, iets was floating gently in still, smooth wa- r. It was quite dark, for the torch had been extinguished ; but even in the darkness we could perceive the bear swimming and flound- ering near the boat. To our great satisfac- tion we saw him heading for the shore and widening the distance between himself and us with all the haste he could make. The unexpected precipitation over the falls had cooled his courage if not his hostility. Dick and I headed the canoe, now half full of water, for the opposite bank, which we contrived to reach by using the rifle aod our hands for paddies ere we made the little vessel fast toa tree, intending to leave it there, as we could not by any possibility get it back over the fall. Having hung our game out of reach cf the wolves, we turned our faces up stream, and after a long and weari- — walk, succeeded in getting back to the P Next morning & party went down for the venison, with the intention also of carrying the canoe back over the fall The eraft, bow- ete — to or much injured that it would not hang together during the 4 and was therefore awe red vt ein pleasant matter to me, for it afterwards cost me * considerable sum before I could square with the vld Flathead for bis worthless dug- out. American State Parens.—The London News pays the following handsome compliment to American statesmanship : ** From the time of Alexander Hamilton to that of Edward Everett, the reports and cor- respondence sent out by Congressional com- mittecs and head of Departments have been of such singular merit as to fix the attention of society in Europe, wherever the English lan- guage is familiarly read. The wonder is less to persons familiar with the structure and workings of the American Government than to those who only know European ways. The statesmen at Washington are usually educated ‘entlemen and men of business at once—usual- 'y professional men, who yet have had occa- sion, in the course of their lives, to do with their own bands much of the real business of life ; and there is nothing like that sort of ex- perience, when combined with a liberal edu- cation, for enabling men to take and express sound and clear views of political subjects. Webster used to ay that he did his business all the better for having taken his father's ‘horse to water beforehé went to college ; aad Mr. Clay boasted of his manual toile as one of the chief preparations of his statesmansbip. Chosen from among the people, the chief of cers of the Government know how to address the popular mind—end the popular mind in America, when dispassionate, is a mind of high order. EF” We copy the following from the private letter of a man overwhelmed with a profitable city business, and recommend it to some of our country friends who are longing for the city and its joys: “I want to make a little money, and then go back into the country and have a horse, 3 pige, 34 hens, 2 roosters, 4 cows, 50 pigeons, 1 dog, a wheel-barrow, 20 acres of tand well situated, with pure water and excellent school advantages—as the papers say—6 geese, 9 ducks, no pea- cock, and a bunch f faggots. Then I would lie abed till 9 o’clock a. m, (if I wanted to,) or getup at four, asthe humor pleased me—drive out, or stay at home; fix the pig- pen, or let the pig run ; yoke the oxen, or turn the horse into mowing; roll over and over $n the haymow, or mix cut feed. I tell you what, Aleck, if we could own a farm and live on it, and yet live in acity, it would be all right.”’ Mixture or Races.—Some twenty years ago we spent a winter in the West Indies, and well remember that while scarcely anbody was legally married, nobody was so poor, and nobody 80 rich or so virtuous, asto be deprived of female society. Taking up the Church Journal, it surprises us to learn that since the emancipation of the slaves matters are even worse in respect to this species of immorality than before. Rev. Mr, Hawley is endeavor- ing to bring about areformin St Croix and St Thomas, by promoting regular marriage in place of the promiscuous customs now prevail ing. Lis religious superior, the bishop of An- tigua, writes that all previons efforts have sadly failed; that strong remonstrances against this sin are equally needed in all the English West India colonies. St. Croix is under the Danes, and a married Dane was almost un- known in the island at the time we were there.—Hartford Courant. e The Sandusky Register gives the fol- lowing version of Percival’s early love and disappointment, derived from a gentleman who was in Yale College at the time : «Percival had a class mate named Smith They both fell in love with a lady of great beauty and mental and moral endowments—a fit woman to receive the worship of the young poet. But Percival was poor and Smith was wealthy, and so won the lady. Peroival’s whole character underwent a change; he be- came taciturn and quite a recluse, plunging into study with wonderful application. From that time date his great acquirements “What became of the lady? our lady read- ersask. Shesettled down in Hartford, became the model mother of six children, and es lives there, we believe, loved and admired by all who know her.”’ Learner From Porpoirse Skins —Several of the American journals have quoted an Eng- lish paragraph which speaksof the excellence of some curried leather, lately exhibited in London, from the skin of the white porpoise. This is, however, no novelty, porpoise leather having been years ago in this country. A person who, in his younger days, wore boote made of it, says that it is very tough, wears very long, and is susceptible of a high polish. The great and insuperable objection to it is, that it is apt to contract and burt the feet of the wearer, and when heated it smells intol- erably We do not imagine that porpoise eather will ever become fashionable. i thlmcenonantesdihiaiomaiaaal Ox or Fanny Fern’s Lzaves —“ Themen have all had a time over it, the women’s fesh - All right.
