Davis, formerly traveling as an agent of a tobacco house in New Orleans. was once obliged to spend a night at a tavern at Dipping Springs, about 15 miles north of Bowling Green, and, while there, was so impudent as to make a vain-glori ous exhibition of the goodly sum of money in Ins wallet. LoUnging about the place at the time were a number of persons peculiar• to the time and that part of the country—men of good address and fine appearance, who, without labor or apparent resources, lived upon the fat of the land, and withheld their past histories even from their - most intimate associates. Among these was a man of really noble mein named Potter, whose manners were those of a courtier and his whole life a ro mantic mystery. Upon leaving the tavern in the morning, Mr. Davis took a motmt ain road leading from the Springs, and, when about two miles on his way, dis mounted from his horse to bathe his head in a rill beside the road. Holding his steed by the bridal, and stooping low to refresh himself from the heat of the day, he was startled by the sharp crack of a rifle, and springing to his feet, beheld Potter running towards him fzoia ,a buqh with gun still smoking. 'What did you lire at?" asked the aston ished commercial traveler, noticing a cu rious look of disappointment on the flush ed face of the other. "At a turkey," an swered Potter, adding in a measured ac cents, "and, for the lirst time in my life, I've missed my mark," Mr. Davis, scarcely knowing what to make of it all, then remounted and rode onward. Scarcely, however. was he be yond sight of the lonely sportsmen then his horse staggered strangely: and upon making an examination, the rider was amazed to find the beast's breast covered with blood. The shot from the rifle had wounded the animal; and then, for the first time, the traveler realized that Mr. Potter's shooting had hot failed so much, after all. Leading the wounded horse, lie presently reached Mammoth Cave, where a field muster was going on, and where he in formed the Colonel in command of his recent adventure. This Colonel and two or three soldiers went back with him to the place of the firing, and, of course, did not find Potter there. The Colonel, how ever. upon finding the prints of a rifle stock and a man's knees in the sod be hind a rock, placed Davis in the place where he stood when hearing the shot, and then perceived that there was a thick dogwood bush through which the bullet ❑rust have passed on its way to the mark. Upon examination it was found that certain twigs of the bush had been cut by a bullet at about a level with a man's cheek, as he stood upright, and hence the induction that Potter had fired at Davis immediately after the latter's dismount ing. and that- Davis had only escaped death by happening to stoop at the very moment when the rifle was fired. Thus did lie escape, and thus did the bullet reach the horse that he was holding by the bridle. Potter was subsequently ar rested as'a bandit by the militia, but evaded trial by agreeing to' leave the country. "Three years after," said Mr. Davis "1 was going over the same road, and on the same business, and having obtained a very early start from the Springs one morning, I met, beside the siunerill where hadformerly passed, tliesameman again.

The leader was a fine black dog named Ikkee, who had a magnificent bushy 'tail, which was always erect and curly. The next one was a black and white, and called Se waska, a hard worker and of amiable dis position. NeX.t the slid was old Karnak, my favorite, and the - ugliest dog in the brigade. his tail, poorly furnished with hair, was usually between his legs : his ears were short, and scored with the marks of many battles. His face was stolid and exhibited emotion only when feeding time came, or when some other dog ventured too near or lagged behind. His body was large, and his legs were like pillars ; his color was white, with dirty spots. Altogether we looked a good deal like a lean pig. But how he would pull ! A description can give but a faint idea of dog-driving. It is an art in itself. The nature of dogs is cross gained. and they frequently do the wrong thing with ap parently the best intentions. Each has a peculiar look and character. Some are irreclaimably lazy, others enjoy hard work unless pushed too far ; some are greedy and snappish, others good humored and decorous. All are very practical, show ing affection only for the man who feeds them, and for him only as long as he feeds them. Hence the voyager should always feed his own team himself. They dislike the whip, not only when in use, but in the abstract. They will always destroy one if they can get at it. The whip is made with a short handle, a very long lash, braided of leather or sealskin, and usually loaded with sheet lead or bullets in the EMI As we walk behind the sled, which or dinarily travels four miles an hour, we have an excellent opportunity of studying dogs. One habit appears to be ingrained in their nature. • It exhibits itself at street corners in cities, and at every bush, stamp or lump of ice which they pass on the road. When traveling rapidly, some dogs will Stop twenty times an hour to examine any bush or twig which attracts los atten tion. Ha leader, it checks the whole team: if not, he usually entangles himself in the harness, and jumps frantically to release himself as he hears the well known crack Of the whip about his ears. If a log collies in the way, and the driver is not ready with his help in urging the sled over it, down they all drop on their haunches, wagging their tails, and looking around with a pleased expression, or uttering a entimental howl. With a crack of the N'vhip, and a shout for Kamuk to stir him self, their reveries are broken, and we go on. 6 oing down hill, the whip and lungs are again called into requisition, to keep the dogs out of the way of the descending sled. It is said that no man can drive dogs ),..ithollt swearing. I think it is in a Measure true. At all events he must have a ready store of energetic expletives to keep them on the qui vicc. In Russian America we always used the indignant epithets, which, as we did not understand them, were hardly sinfal. If - theie is a tree near the trail, the clogs invariably try to pass it on different sides, until checked by the harness; they constantly exhibit such idiosyncrasies, and it was lucky for Job that lie was not set to dog driving; if lie had been, I fear that his posthumous reputation would have suf fered. At noon we stop for a cup of tea. Tea over. you empty your chynik, and set it in the snow a moment to cool. that you may not bunt your sled cover. Having replaced it. and seen that the dogs arc un tangled, you shout to liamuk, - Be off, you old sinner: - Down goes his tail. and away you go.—Da_Alaska. ::OW TO TREAT SLANDER We once heard a story of two men who started together one morning for a whole day's journey. They soon became separa ted, the one reached his destination be hind the Western hills, where lie made himself comfortable at the inn. His only trouble was concern for his laggard com panion. lie thought sure some evil must have befallen him. Long after dark., his fellow companion arrived. 'When asked the cause of his delay, he replied: 1 was obliged to stop at every other house to whip elf the untaanerly dogs that barked at ine. Didn't they bark at you?" " Yes," replied the other, " but 1 did not stop to whip them. 1 simply told them that they were ill-bred curs, and drove on.''

REMINISCENCE A writer in the Cincinnati Ewpilo e, who once filled a subordinate editorial po sition on tile London Daily Nors while that paper was under the direction of Mr. Dickens, relates an anecdote of the dis tinguished dead that has never before ap peared in print: "In the small but romantic church yard of lionehard, Isle of Wight, is the grave of John Sterling, a man who died young, and who had distinguished himself as one of the most powerful writers on the staff of the Times. Dickens would often accompany me to the grave of his friend; and on one occasion I remember him saying, with a peculiar and touching melancholy, `I would rather die. like John Sterling, with the greatness of heart which he possessed, and be buried in this lonely churchyard, with no tombstone to mark the spot, than to be spoken of after death as the greatest literary man in Eng and.''"

ARE WOMEN NATURAL LIARS Ever since the world began it has been the fashion to accuse women of falsehood and deceit. Is there any justice in the charge? So long ago as the days of Chau cer, that poet declared: "That half so coldly can there no man MME=MM=EI Charles Reade reiterates the same as sertion when he avers '• that a woman in a difficulty runs to a lie as natural as a rat to a hole;" and John Stuart Mill, the champion of womankind, makes this statement, that •• men must have a facul ty of self-delusion if they suppose that leading questions put to the ladies of their families, or of their acquaintance, will elicit their real sentiments. or will be an swered with entire sincerity by one woman in ten thousand.'' Not long since, in our OWII country and at a Avoman's rights convention, the Rev. Rowland raised a storm of indignant protest by declaring that the weapons of women were subter fuge, strategy and deceit. Must we a(l.- m it that there is SOME FOUNDATION ion Tills ACC USA- MEM Against NV0111011?

Carried to the excess, the virtue of truth telling, like all other virtues, may become a vice; for it involves a certain amount of selfish ness and disregard for the feelings of others. Women have larger approbative- netts and a tinder sensitiveness of what will Avound others, than nun. and a natural repugnance to the utterance of painful truths. It costs a W0111:111 inure hall it does ;t loan to say a disagreeable thing. It is instinctive with her to try to soften a fact which she feels will be pain ful: and this instinct, excellent in itself, has heen by her position and education cultivated into undue proportions. Said a woman past middle age to us, not long since, a woman in whom the instinct of ruth telling was strong, or she would not have made this confession: "I have lived very happily with my husband, I have had an exceptional freedom of ex pressing my opinion allowed me by him, but I have had to WITHHOLD MAN THUTII and utter many a falsehood to secure peace and happiness in my home.

PAPER HIIITERI'ItCHIEFS The .Japanese paper handkerchiefs are assuredly coming, if a cotemporary be right. The paper collar manufacture now has been extended to less prominent but more important garments of great strength and flexibility, which can be sewed with a machine, giving seams al most as strong as a woven fabric.

TEE WONDERS OF THE DEEP Prof. De Vere's fascinating book under the above title opens with this graphic sketch of the depths of the ocean, which reminds one very strongly of Victor ITugo's "Les Tarvailleurs de la Mer." The great sea has its mountains and its deep valleys, with forests of weird, waving plants on the former and, clown in the dark dells, masses of dismal debris, wrecks of vessels and decaying bodies of men There lies, half covered with a crust of lime and hideous green slime, an ancient gun shining in sickly green; here, half hidden, a quaint box filled with gold that was picked up amid the snow of the Peruvian Andes, and scattered over all a motels - crowd of oddly shaded shells. The empty skull of an old sea captain has sunk down close to the broken armor of a huge turtle, and a deadly harpoon rusts and rots by the side of the enormous tooth of a walrus. Still farther down "in the lower deep of the lowest," lies countless bales of Indian silks, in which large schools of fish dwell peacefully now; and over all, the silent creatures of the ocean move incessantly to and fro, while mil- lions of jelly fish throng every wave to feed the giant whales, and immense hosts of herring dash frightened through the waters to escape the voracious shark. * * * In one place the waters foam and the waves break without rest or repose against oddly shaped cliffs, which do not rise sufficiently high to be seen above; in another, they wash slowly and sadly against a wide desert of white sand. Where lofty mountains rise from the depth to a height not inferrior to that of the tallest Alpine summits, and vast for est of seatong clothe them in brilliant green the sea circles mournfully all around in ceaseless windings, while fur- ther on, where the valley sinks into the very bowels of the earth, and eternal darkness covers all with its mysterious mantle, the waters themselves are hush ed and apparently motionless, as if awe struck by the unbroken silence and the unfathomable night below. The earth, it has been said, is one vast graveyard, and man can nowhere put down his foot without stepping on the re mains of a brother. This is not less than true with regard to the ocean. It is an every hungry grave, in which millions and millions of once living beings lie buried, awl new hosts are added from year to year. It is the stage on which murder and maddest, conflict are going on without ceasing. Immeasurable hatred dwells in those cold, unfeeling waters and yet for a good purpose, since it is only through this unceasing destruc tion and change that life can be maintain ed in no crowded world that dwell in the "waters below the earth." The sea has its lions, its tigers and wolves, as well as the earth above, its crocodiles and gigan tic snakes which daily sally forth to seek their prey and murder whole races; it has medusae and poypi, which spread their nets for smaller fry; while whales and their kindred, swallows millions of min- ute beings at a single gulp, sword fish and sea bears hunt the giant of the lower world, and wretched parasites wait their opportunity to enter the fatty coats of monsters. Every thing is hunting, chas ing and murdering. but there is heard no merry "Tally He!" no war cry encour ages the weary combatants; no groan of pain, no shout of victory ever breaks the (lead silence. The battles are fought in dumb passion, and no sound accompanies the tierce conflict but the splash' of foaming waters and the last spasmodic effort of the wounded victim.
