Mill limiting for Deer.
The visitor to-day of ourcity mar
kets at the present season, seeing a row
of deer carcassed hanging before him,
would be apt to assume that it must be
very easy to kill fuch large game. But
If he should venture fnto the woods with
a tide, intent on shooting deer, he would
find It a very difficult undertaking.
There are two ways of shooting deer,
hunting with dogs and stalking. The
latter la the method adopted by tbd
hunters who supply our marke's, and is
the most effect lye "ray. Hunting" with
a pack of keen nosed dogs ia find sport,
for the muilc of the pack thrills the
nerves, and as it approaches the hunter
lie braces himself tb face the game and
bring it (fawn. But in still hunting a
knowledge of woodcraft is necessary.
The man who shoots deer for sport alone
usually tries to kill bucks with their
branching antlers, and is content with
the possession of a maguificent head as
a tToph? of the chase. The still hunter
for market venison is humbler minded
but wiser in his purpose, for it is the
doe or the yearling which affords the
best venison, being free from the musky
odor so noticeable in all bucks. A deer
bagging at the door of a restaurant is
one thing. Alive and on the alert in its
, native wilds ia quite another.
The men who shoot deer for the mcney
earned in the pursuit, being inhabitants
of the neighborhood and familiar with
the ground and every trick an 1 device
'of the game', are the most successful
hunters. They are deeply learned in
woodcraft, and have a natural bent for
following the track of a browsing deer
natil they come within range and sighs.
"When much hunted the eais of deer
become very acute, and theo he is very
diillcult to approach. One of the moat
jnatvelous traits of a deer is his quick
ness to notice a movement, no matter
how Blight. The hunter slowly raises
his head over a ridg? or a fallen log as he
creeps from one tree to another, yet the
deer instantly detects it unless the move
ment is made when the animal has Its
head down while feeding or walking.
Having dijeovered his quarry the still
hunter now exercised the uinusl care
and calls on his stock of patience.
Crouching and watchful, the hunter
always waits until the deer lowers hi
head to feed before he endeavors to
creep a foot or two nearer.
Not being yet within fair shooting dis
tance, for the still hunter take 9 co rash
chanches. the deer is kept in sight and
allowed to feed at his leisure ; the dis
tance being gradually and carefully re
duced at evrry opportunity. A young
buck is a gentleman of elegant leisure,
and aristocratic in his bearing and man
ner. Having satisfied hi appetite, and
l,;aorant of the presence of danger, he
stands tor a few minutes and surveys
the scene, then he may put down his
head and scratch an ear with bin hind
foot, giving the hunter an opportunity
to steal forward. Fawns will skip and
play after feeJiug, and yearlings are apt
to be frisky at this time, while even an
old buck or doe will sometimes conde
scend to romp with the young ones.
This over, the deer takes to wander
ing, nibbling aa he goos. At length the
animal takes a stand and remains al
most motionless for from five to even
twenty minutes. The hur.ter new steals
forward iach by inch until withiu range
then up goes the trusty rifle, a cartf u!
sight is taken at the glistening coat, and
the next instant the echoes ring with
the report of the weapru, the peculiar
dull Bound of the bullet striking the
deer, telling the trained ear of the
hunter that his a!m was a true one.
Theu the brush seems alive as tho deer
go crashing through the bushes ; but
tho eye of the hunter is fixed upon the
one he has just covered, and as he rush
es forward he sees the traces of blood on
the track and follows it. If the bullet
has struck a vital spot he has seldom
to go fur before he either overtakes the
djini? auimal or finds it stretched in the
last agonies, its large ejes full of tears
at the cruelty that has caused its pain.

Sagacity of the Coyote.
It ia durinfr the weeks going just be
fore and following immediately after
tbe tirtb of tbe poppies tbat tbe old
dog-coyotes work their hardest and
most systematically. Ia bunting at
this time, our wolf adds to his ordinary
pertinacity and zeal, tbe sagacity and
endurance necessary to turn bio victims
and drive them back to bis home, know
log that otherwise his male and ber
weaklings will be unable to partake of
tbe feast.
A remarkable picture of this was
given some years ago, by a writer in an
English magazine, who, in one of tbe
best "animal chapters" it has ever been
my fortune to read, detailed such a chase
as witnessed by him in tbe grand for
ests near Lake Nicaragua. "Certain
ly," he exclaims at tbe conclusion of
his account, "certainly no training
could have bettered tbe dog's run. To
drive a grown buck back to bis starting-
place, to send on a portion of tbe pack
to tbat point where he would strive to
break cover, to head bim again and
again Into tbe cover where his speed
could not be exerted to the full, were
feats which" might well puzzle all the
best dogs in England, and the human
intelligence which directs, them."
II is game and its getting are not al
ways so noble as this, however, and the
coyote knows well the pinch of famine,
especially in winter. "The main object
of his life seems to be the satisffing of
a hunger which is always craving ; and
to this aim all his cunning, impudence,
and audacity aie mainly directed."
Nothing comes amiss. Though, by no
means the swiftest footed quadruped
upon the plains, he runs down the deer.
the prong-horn, and others, tiring them
out by trickery and then overpowering
them by force of numbers. The buffa
lo formerly afforded him an unfailing
supply, in tbe shape of carrion or chance
fragments left him by bis Brahams
tha white wolves who steadly follow
ed the herds, aud seized upon decrepit
or aged stragglers, or cpon any calved
they were able to surround and pull
down. In such piracy the coyotes
themselves often engaged, though it
tried their.highest powers ; and success
followed a system of tireles-s worrying.
Tbe poor bison or elk, upon which they
concentrated, might trample aud gore
half the pack, but the rest would "stay
by him," and finally nag him to death.
I remember once reading an account of
the strategy by which a large stag was
forced to succumb to a rack that had
driven it upon the ice of a frozen lake.
'art ot the wolves formed-a circle
about the pond, within which the ex
hausted and slipping deer was chased
round aud round, by patrols frequently
relieved, until, fainting v.ith fatigue
and loss of blood, the noble animal fell,
to be torn to pieces in an instant.
Ilroke the Cut's Heart.
"Stories have of:en been told," said
Emil Paul last night, "about fidelity
and intelligence of dogs, but I don't
think cats have ever been given enough
credit," and he stroked a big black one
that lay dozing on hia knees.
"I was lying sick with malaria, about
two years ago," he said, becoming rem
iniscent, "and my little boy was dying
wilh pneumonia at the same time. The
baby lay with his mother on a bed and
1 was on a cot near them. I hadn't
slept at night for a great many years.
All the rest I had wai in daytime. The
doctor told me that 1 must sleep nights
or I would not get well, and one night
he gave me a let of morphine. Before
it took effect my wife had placed a lamp
on a chair beside the cot and 1 lay read
ing. We had a black cat that was a
great playmate for my bov. He was a
fine big fellow, and while the baby vas
sick he sat by the -bed constantly eying
the boy, as if to say, "Oh hurry up and
get well ; things are awtully dull with
out you.'
"Presently my wife and the baby fell
asleep. I began to feel the drug, too,
and I dropped asleep. I was awakened
oy the cat scratching at, my neck. The
bed clothes were on Ere aud burning
fiercely, I jumped up and put the dames
out. I was holding a book when I fell
asleep and I suppose as my arm dropped
I knocked the lamp over and the cloth
ing caught Cre. If it hadn't been for
that cat I'm sure we'd have been burn
ed to death.
"Well," continued Mr. Taul, "my
boy ditd. It wa? on Tuesday and we
kept the remains until Sunday. The
cat took up a position uader ihe coffin
and never left it to eat or drink. An
old Irish woman came in and saw him
there.
"Oh take him a way,' 6he said;
'shure he's bad luck, and my wife
locked him up in tbe closet But be
howled and scratched the door, so I told
them to let him out. He ran back in
Lis old place under the coffiu. He was
thin and looked half starved, just as he
was. We put milk alongside him. but
he would not touch It. I sent for a
negro doctor, and Le tried to force
some medicine down the cat's throat.
The mouser wouldu't swallow it. We
buried fhe boy on Sunday. Monday
morning when I went into tbe room I
found our pet tabby stretched out where
he had mourned, dead. He died of
grief, I tell you, and nothing else.

A Trnthrol Story.
Tbe young man who does jnst as lit
tie as possible for an employer some
times wooders why be is not given a
position in tb6 bnsinesa house in which
be is employed when a lees brilliant
companion, who works for another
establishment, is advanced very rapid
ly. The reason probably is that the
less brilliant aompanion is more faith-
fal, and woiks conscientiously, always
seeking to do more than enough barely
ly to secure his salary. Somebody sees
and appreciates his work and when tbe
opportunity comes a better place is
given bim, which he fills with equal
faithfulness. An illustration of this
may be found in tbe following true In
cident :
A boy about 1G years of age had been
seeking employment in one of our large
cities. He had looked vainly for two
weeks, and was well nigh hopeless of
getting work to do when one afternoon
be entered a store kept by a gentleman
whom we will call Mr. Stone.
The lad asked the usual question :
"Can you give me anything to do ?"
Mr. Stone to whom he appealed, an
swered :
"No ; full now." Then happening to
notice an expression of dispondency in
the youth's face he said : "If you want
fO work half an hour or so, go down
stairs and pile up that kindling wood.
Do it well and I will give you 2o cents.
"All right, and thank you, sir," an
swered the young man and went below.
As tbe store was about closing for the
afternoon, he came up stairs and went
to Mi. Stone.
"Ah, yes," said the gentleman some
what hastily. 'Tiled the wood ? Well,
here's your money."
"No, sir ; I'm not through, and I
should like to come and finish in tbe
morning," said the young fellow, refus
ing the silver piece.
"All right," said Mr. Stone, and he
thought no more of the affair til! tbe
next morning, when he chanced to be
in the basement, and recollecting the
wood pile, glanced into tbe coal and
wood room. The wood was arranged
m orderly tiers, the room was cleanly
swept, and the young man was at the
moment engaged In repairing the coal
bin.
"Hello !" said Mr. Stone. "I didn't
engage you to do any thing but pile up
that wood."
"Yes, sir, I know It." answered the
lad ; "but I sav this needed to be done,
and I bad rather work than not. I
don't expect any pay but my quarter."
"Humph 1" muttered Mr. fetone, and
went up to his office without further
comment. Half an hour later the yonng
man presented himself, clean and well
brushed, fcr his pay.
Mr. Stane passed him his quarter.
"Thank you," said tha youth, and
turned away.
"Stop a minute," said Mr. Stone.
"Have you a place in view where you
can find work ?"
"No. sir."
"Well, I want ysn to work for rre.
Here" writing something on a piece
cf paper take this to the gentleman
stanaing by the counter there and he
will tell you what to do. I'll give you
six dollars a week to begin with. Do your
work as well as you did that down stairs
aud that's all." and Mr Stone turned
away before the young fellow recovered
from his surpiise sufficiently to cpeak.
This happened fifteen years ago. Mr.
Stone's Btore is more than twice as large
a it was then, and its superintendept
to-day is the young man who began by
piling up kindling wood for twenty-five
cents. Faithfulness has been his motto.
By it he has advanced step by step, and
Las not yet reached ttoe topmost round
of success.
O'raafb Sorrel Hon.
"The first time I saw Gen. Graut to
know him," said Major 03man to a knot
of story tellers the other day, "was in
November of 1SG4. I was then attached
to Hancock's headquarters, and was
sent to cary a dispatch to Gen. Grant.
It was raining for all it was worth, and
the mud about those Tetersburg trenches
was like clue. Putting my horse to
gallop, I was getting over the ground at
a good rate, and soon I met and passed
by a solitary rider astride a little sorrl
horse. The man's slouch hat was pull
ed down over his eyes, and tbe rain was
coursing in streams down on the poncho
in whicn he was closely wrapped. A
moment later I came up with quite a
group of riders, and catching sight of a
lot of gold braid, jumped at the conclu
sion that I had struck some general's
staff. I asked them if they knew where
Gen. Gn:nt was, and one of them said :
" 'Why boy. you've just passed him.'
"Without a work I wheeled my horse
and dashed back to the solitary figure
ahead. As I came up he seemed to take
in the situation, for he said sharply :
"'Who are yon looking for, young
man V
"'Are yon Gn. Grant?' I aaked a
getly-
"My name's Grant,' he said stiflly,
balding out his band for my dispatch.
Then he said :
" '.Why didn't you come to me at
once V
" '1 I
'Well, what ?'
" I didn't think that you were Gen.
Grant.'
" Tou didn't? Why didn't you?'
"I saw his eyes twinkle above his ci
gar, thi; must have gone out three or
four hours before, it looked so bad. S3
I ventured to tell the fact :
" 'Because I didn't suppose General
Grant would ride such a looking horse
as that.'
"lie bnrst ont into a hearty laugh,
ani Gen. Badeau told me afterward
that it was the first tim for a week he
had heard Grant laugh. The General
receipted on the envelope for the dis
patch and dismissed me, paying :
" 'The next time you are sent to Gen.
Grant perhaps you'll know him.'
"But after that I took my dispatches
to the chief of staff."
"My son, did I not see you roadinp
an account of a prize fight In the paper
this morning ? "Yes father, but 1 will
never, never do it again s long as 1
live" "Never mind about that, my son.
I merely wanted to ask wLat you did
with the paper."

A justice of the peace in the interior
of Michigan had a case hefore him some
days ago in which the defendant, who
had been arrested as a suspicious char
acter, and plead guilty to vacrancy,
was eent to the Detroit House of Cor
rection for six months. A constable
tock him in charge to deliver him there,
and as the man seemed rather pleased
tt the idea of securing board and lodg
ings for sir months he was not hand
cuffed. As the train was about ready
to go the constable moved across the
aisle to talk politics with a friend, aril
pretty soon they were having it hot acl
heavy. When the conductor came in
for tickets he held out his hand to the
prisoner, and the latter shook his heai
and replied :
"I don't p3y fare."
"Aha I You don't, eh ?" '.Veil, do,
you pay or git !"
'I won't pay !"
"Then you'll git. When we slow up
at the crossing you jump oT. If 1 fini
you on tbe train after we pass there I'll
give you a bounce that you won't for
get !"
In two minutes the train began to
Blow, and the prisoner walked to thi
door and picked a soft spot and dropped
off. When the train had made another
mile the conductor held out his hand to
the constable and received two ticketi.
"Who is the extra one for V" he askeJ.
"For tbe prisoner over there."
"What prisoner ?"
"Why that fel 1"
Then there was raving and guaiblcf
of teeth and hurrying up and down, lal
it was no use.
"Sorry," said the conductor a he
passed along, "but when a passenger
says he won't pay fare on mv train I
give bim the drop. The only th!ng
tbat surprised me was to see how will
ingly he obeyed orders."
Is It Memory !
It Is an experience familiar enouph to
many persons that they find themselves
at times tn places where their surround
ings seem to have been known to them
before ; and yet they know that this ii
the Brst time they have ever ben upon
the spot.
In some instances the recognition
may be due to a picture of the place,
seen some where at some time, of which
all recollection was lost except tbe im
pression It made. Or it may be that
the place has been described under cir
cumstances which are wholly forgotten,
or an account of It has been read, so
minute and so interesting as to hare
made the impression received more lust
ing than any circumstances attending
it. We are . ble, in some Instances, to
trace the impression, by suggestion and
association, back to some such origin.
This leads us to Infer that in ca?e
where we are un?.ble to do this. It '
because suggestion or association fai'
us. If we deny tbat memory has any
thing to do with these impressions, then
they become mysteries, aid such mys
teries as haunt and perplex a sensitive
mind. It is more reasonable to admit
the jiossible weakness and untrusi
woitt iness of our faculties than to sup
pose tbat anythins bi.s happened con
trary to the coarse of nature.
