Eva. Crocodile Hunting in South America! Don, Ramon Paez has recently published in England a book of travels in Sooth America, which contains,/ soma exciting adventures. Here is a sketch of - CROCODILE LIFE AX® DEATH. While walking along the banks of the For: toguese one may see these huge lizards collect ing in groups of half a dozen or more basking in sunshine near the water, with their jaws wide open until their ghostly palates are filled with flies or other creatures alighting within We tried in vain shooting.them with guns ; the reptiles were so wary that the mo ment we took aim they rushed into the water. Being at a loss how to procure a subject for my pencil, I sought the advice of an old man, fan angler by profession, who lived .in one of the huts near theriver. He agreed to let me have his qanoo, with bis son to paddle it, and the requisite number of harpoons providing I could obtain the assisstance of an Indian hoy from the neighborhood, who was a capital marksman with the bow and arrow. “Whatl” I exclaimed, in astonishment, *ido we expect to kill one of these monsters witheo slight a thing as an arrow ?” “ No, Senorito,” be calmly answered ; “ hot yon most first know where where to find him under water before you can strike him with the harpoon ; the arrow of which I speak is the kind we use in catching turtles.” “ These arrows are constructed so as to al low the bead, affixed to the shaft somewhatiin tqa manner of a lance, to come off the moment it strikes an object in the water. A slender cord, several feet in length, connects it with .the shaft which last is mode of a light, buoyant reed; around this the cord is wound closely until it reaches the point where the head is then fastened securely. The shaft, being ex tremely light, floats on the surface of tbewater the moment it is set free from the struggles of the animal, thus peting as a guide for its re covery. r « " The old angler then proceeded to explain that the operation must be conducted first by sending one of these arrows into the body of the crocodile to mark bis position underwater; and then if practicable, we might plunge a harpoon into the only vulnerable spot we conld hope to reach, viz: the nape of theneck ; after which the animal could be easily dragged on shore by means of strong ropes attached to the harpoon. “ Accordingly, I went in search of the In dian boy, whom I found under a tree, seated like a toad on bis haunches, skinning a porcu pine he had just killed. At my approach be raised' hia -head and fixed on me bis unmeaning eyes.. When spoken to, he only replied to all my questions with the monosyllables, si, no. After a little coaxing, end the promise of some fish books, be followed me to the canoe without uttering « word more. “We were not, long in getting a chonqe to test the skill of my new acquaintance. As we approached the river bank, a large crocodile have in sight, floating down the stream like a log of wood. Our position was most favorable to send an arrow rattling through his scales, and my young Nimrod lost no time in impro ving, the opportunity. Stepping a few, paces in advance, and b.ending gracefully over the preci pice, he let fly at the reptile's bead with his slender,'yellow reed, por elfracion, viz; shoot ing the arrow np into' the air at an angle of forty-five degrees, which censes it to descend with -great force upon the dl jeot, after des cribing an arch of a circle in the manner of a bomb shell. “ AUbough the distance was Tally three hun dred paces, the anew struck the m&& with the precision of a rifle-ball. A violent plunge of the huge reptile was my first intimation that the trial had been successful, and a moment after I perceived the golden reed, now attached to him skimming swiftly over the surface of the .water. Wa hastened for the canoe, and imme diately gave chase up the stream, ns thVcroco dile had taken that direction. We were rapid ly gaining upon him, when, alarmed at the sound of the - paddles, be enuk in very deep water, as was indicated by the reed. Thia cir cumstance rendered it impossible to employ pur harpoon. We tried in vain to start him ; ho stock to the muddy bottom, whence neither pulls nor curses could move him. We hoped that in time he would come to the surface to tJTOthOj arfdAhcn we might' strike him with a ?or the Agitator. TO EMMA W. i&CsteUaug. harpoon; hot in this wo were equally disap pointed, " After waiting for Km two hours we gave him up, along with the arrowhead, sticking in bis own. I made various other attempts to so-' cure a specimen, bat with no better results, as the river was yet too high to sound for them. " White in this place I was told several inci dents in relation to the cunning and instinct of these sßurians, one of which appeared to me most remarkable in. an animal of the reptile tribe. The ferryman here possessed at one time a great many goats. One day he per ceived that several of them disappeared! and .hot being able ,toaccount for'it in any other way, he nt once laid the blame on the .bated crocodiles, although these creatures seldom carry their attack beyond tfaeir own element. His suspicions, be'discovered in the end, were Well founded, having witnessed tbe destruction of one of hie goats in a very singular monner. ' It appeared that a crocodile bad in senate mys terious. way discovered that goats delight in jumping from place Co place, bat more espe cially from rocks and mounds. Hocks, how ever, being rather scarce in the country, their treacherous enemy undertook to gratify their taste for this innocent pastime, and at the same time cater his own.' Approaching the water edge to within a few from tbe bank, he swelled out his bock in such a manner as to give it the appearance of a small island or prorootory. Tbe stupid goats perceiving this varied their gambols by jumping from their se cure places on the shore open the seeming isl and which they, however, never reached, for tbs crocodile,' tossing np bis bead at the right instant, received' thfcm into his open jaws, and swallowed them without difficulty. •‘No person can -venture near the water without-danger from their attacks, .being so treacherous that they approach their intended victim near enough to strike him with their powerful tails before he is even aware of their proximity. The babbling sound of a gourd being in the water by some imprudent person especially attracts them. To obviate this danger, a calabash bowl with a long wood en handle, is usually employed for. the pur poser, yet, even- this is not. unfrequently snatched from the bands of the water-carrier. “ If by aooideptThuman being falls a prey to this tyrant of tbe river, the reptile is then called eabado,. which appellation implies every-' thing that ia bold, ferocious and treacherous in an animal of the species, as from that time they not only waylay persons, hot follow them while in their canoes, in hopes of again secu ring this* dainty morsel. There ore, however, men bold enough to meet this terrible enemy face to face in his own element. Tbe man who makes up bis mind to this encounter is welt aware thn must 'be a conflict to thedeath for one of the antagonists. Tbe ferryman related to ns a feat of gallan try worthy of a better cause, performed by a Llanero with one of these monsters. Tbe man was on bis way to San Jaime on a pressing er-. rand. Being in haste to get there there the same day he would not wait for the canoe to be brought to him, but prepared to swim across, assisted by his horse. He bad already secured bis saddle and clothes opon his bead, as is usual on similar occasions, when the ferryman cried out to.faim to beware of a cayman bagodo then lurking near the pass, urging him, at the same time to wait for tbe canoe. Scorning this' advice, the Llanero replied with characteristic pride, “Let him come-: I was never afraid of man or beast.” Then lay ing aside a part of his ponderous equipment, he placed his two-edged dagger between his teeth and plunged fearlessly into the river, “ lie had not proceeded far, when-the- mon ster rose, and made quickly toward him, the ferryman crossed himself devoutly and mut tered the holy invocation of Jesus Mariay Jose, fearing for the life, and above all, fur the toll of the imprudent traveller. In the meantime the swimmer continued gliding through the water towards'the. approaching crocodile. Aware of the impossibility of striking hit nd versary a mortal' blow unless he could reach the armpit, he awaited the ’ moment until the reptile should attack him, to throw his saddle at him. This he accomplished so successfully that the crocodile, doubtless imagined it'to.be some sort of good eating, jumped partly out of the water to catch it. Instantly the Llanero plunged bis dagger np to the very hilt into the fatal spot. A: hoarse 'grunt and a tremendous splash showed that the blow was mortal; for the ferocious monster sank beneath the waves to rise no more. ■ Proud of fals achievement, and scorning the tardy assistance qf the ferryman who offered to pick him np in his canoe, be waved his bloody dagger in the air, exclaiming; “Is there no other about here f” and then turning he swam leisnriy hack to take ibis hone across. The canoera who related the adventure then added. “So delighted was lon that occasion that I killed my fattest hen to treat the man .to a good cancoho, for the cayman bad devoured all my goats.” No Plato for the Boys. Does it not seem as if in some honSCs there is actually' no plafce for the boys f We do not mean th&litile boys—there is always’ room for them; they ate. petted and caressed ; there is a place for them on papa’s knee and at mam ma’s footstool, if not in her arms; there are loving words,'and_iiany, often too many, in dulgences. But'the class we speak of now are the school-boys, great, noisy, romping fellows, who'tread on your dress, and upset your work basket, and stand in. your light, and' whistle and drum and shout and ask questions and contradict. So what is to be done with them ? Do they not want to be loved and cherished now as dearly as thejTWSre in that well-remem bered time when they were the little ones, and were indulged'and caressed.’ But .they are so noisy, and they wear put the carpet with their thick boots, and it is so quiet. when they are gone, saya the tired mother and the fastidious sister and the nervous annt; “anythingfoe peace sake,” andawaygo the boys to “loaf” on street corners, and listen tp the profane and language of wicked men, or to the un safe ioSj or to the railroad station, ■or the' wharves, or the other common places of rcri- dezvofas of those who have nothing to do or no place to stay. Bat it is argued that there are few boys who care to stay in the bouse after school, and it is better they should play in the open air—all df which is true. We argue for those dull days arid stormy days and evenings, dll evenings, in which they wish to stay in, or .ought to bri kept in,' and in which if kept in; they make themselves and everybody else’nn comfortable. We protest against the usages of :thosa homes where the mother is busy with .her sewing or her baby, and -the father is ab sorbed. with the newspaper, 'in the evening which he never reads aloud, and the boye “ must .sit still .and not; make a noise," or go immediately to bed; —They! hear the merry ’■voices of other boys In the rind long to .be with them ; home is a dull' place'; they will soon be a little older, and then say they, “ we will go oot and see for ourselves what there is outside which we ard forbidderi to enjoy.” ,We protest against the usages of those homes where tbs boys are driven ont because their presence is unwelcome and are scolded:when they come in, or checked, hushed, and reetrained at every Outburst of; merriment.

This will be equal £0 a-prire of $1 filp to each subscriber, as that is the price charged bj jpurscrymen for similar plants. In deed, neitbef'of these prize strawberries could be ob tained at any price whatever, «d[ we bare secured evory plant that (inn be produced, In tbe exclusively as prizes to our subscribers. We~bave~ incurred tbe large outlay necessary; for this purpose, because we hav.e an earnest desire, to seo, tbe propa gation of improved fruit greatly: extended, and be cause we believe Ithat every one who receives these plants and growslthe fruit will bold The Tribune in kindly remembra|nce for enabling him to enjoy such a good gift of a kind Providence, jand will thereafter feel an increased desire to improve all the list of fruits. It is thus that health and I happiness will be increased, , I As these plants have all to be'grown from the few plants that we bought of Mr. Fuller in the Antonin of 1862, be will dot be able to send them to sabscri bers ontiLofter tbe Ist of September, 1863, when they will be carefully packed in oiled ;silk or paper, and forwarded through tbe mail, at our expense, or by express at expense of the receiver. The three plants will be sent to each person who sends to us a year’s subscription for either tbo Daily/Semi-Weekly, or Weekly Tribune, indicating at thejtimeof subscribing that they desire the Strawberries, end the distribu-, tion will be made in tbe order the' subscribers' names and requests for Strawberries are received. Single' subscribers will receive' their plants by mail, done np in oiled silk, or other suitable oiled, substance. To’ Clubs/ plants will he sent m 1 packages, io cor respond witb thanumbor of names in tbe Club; and where tbe numbelr will warrant it,, they will be sent by express, packed in boxes. , New subscribers who desire strawberry plants should s&y so at the time they send theirl moncy, as we do not Intend to send any to those who' 4 will not appre ciate them. . They are too valuable to be wasted.— There are parties who would gladlycontract for the exclusive right to all these plants/at 25 cents a piece, and there are many subscribers Who would not, as soon as they see and taste the fruit; part with their prize for a $5 "greenback.” | HOW THESE XEW STRAWDERRIEsIvTERE PRODUCED. , ;i i Tho following statement is modo by Andrew?. Fuller, horticulturist, Brooklyn, originator of these strawberries. He says: .[ ] «It is now between seven find ieigbt .years since I commenced sowing seeds of the itrawberry for the purpose of producing new and improved varieties.— I have always selected seeds from the largest and best that could be obtained, and the results were that I produced some few good varieties each season; yet thsy were not such as I was willing Should go ont as my seedlings. Every season I selected the seed with more care than I did the previous one, and found that I made constant improvement. I therefore deter mined that I would put forth extra exertions andiece if a few choice could not be produced, [ In 1859 I obtained the best varieties knbwn, and by Fer tilizing the flowers one with another, I expected to produce strawberries combining .greater excellence than heretofore known. In this! I, was not disap pointed. I produced that year many thousands of seedling plants, and the fruit of many was really ex cellent, so mnch to that I was nrged not to throw the plants away; but as excellence, arid :not variety, was my object, I destroyed all hut the fnokt promising. I determined from the first that no plant should go out as a seedling of mine unless it cobbined greater ex cellence than any other strawberry; known. From the selections of that L yenr a competent Committee from the Farmers* Club of the American Institute, who had the matter three years in charge, made a selec tion of three sorts, ripening early* medium and,late, and these I preserved as the final,'remit of my seven years laborioas'cxperimenfs to procure improvement in strawberries from seeds. These liintended to dis pose of in the ordinary way of a nurseryman’s busi ness, and should have done so‘but for the desire of The Tribune Association to make a gratuitous distri bution of these truly excellent strawberries to their subscribers. I have therefore contracted to furnish them exclusively for that purposed Not one of them can be bought oj me at any lf I bad kept (hem for sale to individuals the price wjould have been 50 cents each or $5 a dozen.” jj !

Address . THE TRIBUNE, Oct. 31, 186.1. , Tribune Buildings, Haw York, Seeing, and Thinking; Most young men have some sense of tire ird portaoce of learning to think. They desire'to become thinking men. What constitutes n thinking man ? How shall I become jl think ing man? These are interesting questions to such young men. Thinking is seeing—seeing the truth. Sup pose you wish to see a particular landscape.— You visit it. You take such a position ns pla ces its objects before you. at the meadow, (the trees, the stream, the rocks. If yon do nbt see an "object distinctly, you go nearer to it, er make socb a ehangeof position as will enable you to see it distinctly. Hrifi process of seeing is a very simple There seems id you to Bo no mystery in it. It is mere seeing. . You know bow to do that.— You desire to know bow to think. Thinking you regard as a more mysterious process. As was said above, thinking is with the bodily eye, bnt with the mind. There ore intellectual and moral objects as well as material objects. Seeing intellectual and mor al objects—non-material truths is thinking.—; How are such truths seen ? By placing them before the .mind, just as material objects are seen by placing them before the eye. You wish to know whether a certain plan of, action is a wise one. You can determine that question by thinking; that Is, by seeing a great many truths relating to that plan. Yoil can see those truths by looking at them. You need to look at the design or object of the plan —at the means by which it is proposed to ac complish it. Ysu.ne'ed to look at the charac ter and habits of those who ore to be engaged in the execution of it. When you have looked at these, and many other truths connected with the plan, you will be able to see whether it is a wise one or not. This last seeing will be tbd result of a great many other seeings. Thus thinking is Seeing. To learn to think, we most look patiently and perseveringiy at the objects of thought—truths. A Lawyer's Caveat.— William H. Harding a lawyer, of Lee, Maes., had the misfortune a few days since of'having hie marriage pub lished in the Berkshire Eagle. To this h«, lawyer like, takes exceptions. In a caveat to the editor he says: \“The report of my marriage, which I find in year issue of the 27th inst., is not quite correct: First, On the 20th of July, 18(53) I kept close company with my. law books; Sec ond, I whs neytr in Lebanon Springs in my life ; ThitoTA nevento my knowledge, saw r.f heard of the Rev. TScJj, Bant; Fourth) the young lady mentioned as the bnde is the wil'<t of my brother; and, iTifth, I never was mar ried at all—l never came within gnnshot i f marriage—linever wanted to get married—and finally, I never expect to. get married. With the above exceptions yonr item is correct)” - Soroho Sirup. —From statistics re tarred frt the ciSce of Auditor of State! it appears that the number of'gallons of Sorgho sirup innnu factured in Ohio in ISG2, will reach the wr moos aggregate 'of about 6.000,000. When it is considered that in the palmiest days Cim-m'- nati and Cleveland furnish less than 2,000,000 gallons of Louisiana sirup to Ohio, it must be conceded that we are how prepared to manu facture our own sirup—but what about sugar ? We Cannot rely Upon sorgho to furnish it, hut with proper instruction and enterprise we can manufacture 250,000 tons of beet sugar annu ally at a cost not exceeding 5 to 6 cents per pound. \ A iadt. walking a few days since on the promenade at Brighton, asked a sailor whom she met, why a ship was called “she.’’ The son of Neptune replied "Shat -it waa “ because the rigging cost so much.” A Corrssfosmst writes from the South that flour is so scares among the rebel! that they call it the dust of heaVsn. The seat of perfect contentment is not in the heart, but in- theSiead; every individual being thoroughly satisfied with bis own proportion of brains. Ir M*k will but amuse .the jforbVit will freely forgive them for cheating it. DAILY TRIBUNE. 3 cenW, • $2 on , £> on . ?li Oi fis brt
