The value of the head is ascertained by
the number aud size of the teeth. Dealers
mount especially liue specimens of the
skull, but the greater number have no
ether value than that of the ivory they
centaiu.
The wages of the hunter depend, of
nourfie. unen his coetl fertune in finding
the game. One of the me.it expert of
these gives as instances of successful
hunts the items of three days' work which
yielded thirty-nine dollars aud seventy
live cente ; of six days with a yield of
twenty dollars aud ten cents, and of
eight days' hunting which netted forty
dollars and twentv-tive cents.
Without speaking of these enemies of
the '"gator" who hunt him for sport,
there are about two hundred men in the
Btate of Flerida who make a business and
trv te make a livinjr by capturing or kill
ing him. Very many have eaten alligator
steaks from simple curiosity te learn its
flavor; but many mete eat it bocause it is
thecheapest, aud, oftentimes, the only
meat they can afford. The flavor when it
is fried or broiled is that of beefsteak
plentifully supplied with fish gravy, while
the fore-legs roasted taste like a mixture
of chicken and tish, and have a delicate
flbre.
Tery methodical in his habits is the
alligator, and very suspicious of anything
new around his home. When he starts
out in search of feed it is invariably an
hour after the tide has begun te ebb, and
he returns about four hours after low
water. If he has a land journey te per
form, he gees and comes by the same
rnnte. never deviation from it until he sees
evidence th.it strangers have trespassed en
his domain. He lives en the banks of
some stream, for he has decided objections
te stagnant water, aud te make his home
he digs a hele at least twelve inches below
the level of the water. This holt) is por per
lectly straight, although en au incline,
and from twenty te thirty feet in length,
terminating iu a chamber sufficiently
large te admit of his turning iu it. Theto
he or she dwells alone, save when the
female is eariug for a very young breed,
in which case the one room is converted
into a nursery. Full-grown alligators net
only de net occupy the same hele, but
they will net live near each ether.
The alligator usually lays her eggs about
the first of July, and during the mouth of
June bhe is busily engaged iu preparing
the cradle for her young. Selecting a place
en the bauk of some stream or creek, she
begins work by beating hard and level
with her tail an earth platform about bix
feet square. She scrapes together with
her ferefeet, oftentimes from a distance
of fifty yards from the proposed nest, dried
grass, sticks auu niua uum uiteeu in
twenty cubic feet of the material is iu a
place ceuvcuieut for her purpose. On the
day following the completion of these
preparations she lays from thirty te fifty
eirffs en the iH-enared ground, and piles
ever them dried grass and mud deftly
worked iu with sticks until a mound six
feet in diameter aud three feet high has
been raised. The suiface of this is quick
ly hardened by the sun, and iu order that
it may be as nearly air light as possible,
the female visits it each day, covering
with mud any crevices that may have ap
peared, as well as remodeliug such por
tions as de net satisfy herseuse of beauty.
The erdiuary time of incubation is about
two months, aud then the newly-hatched
breed may be heard yelping and snarling
for their mother te continue her work by
releasing them from their prison uest. Uu
the secend or third day after the first uoise
has been heard, the fomale bites a hole iu
the 6ide of the mound, out of which the
vminrr ones, barelv mero than cloven
inches long, eome tumbling in the most
vigorous manner, crawling directly tow aid
the water. Until the young are three
years old the mother exercises a parental
care ever them, always remaining within
sound of their voices, net se much te pro
tect them from their natural enemy, man,
as lrem their unnatural enemy mcn
father, who has an especial fondness ter
his own children in the way of feed.
When then the hunter finds a nest, he
carries the eggs home te hatch them,
where he can easily capture the breed if
the eggs are fresh or it the young iu tuem
are net mero than five inches long ; at any
ether stage they will net hatch if removed
and are of no value except for the shell.
The captured eggs are then packed in
straw as nearly as possible in the natural
way, and the yeuug may be thus hatched
out very successfully. One farmer reared
sixteen hundred and another a thousand
last season. The young will eat immedi
ately after coming out of the shell, but
they thrive best if given no feed for at
least three months.
The crv of a full-erewu 'gator is net
unlike the bellowing of a bull,' except that
it is of mere volume, since the voice of a
male can, en a calm day, be heard a dis
tance of five miles ; and they may be said
te be sun-werahippera, since they seldom
" resolve themselves into song," save at
the rising of the sun ; in fact, the only
exception te this morning melody is when
a storm is approaching, une average
Flerida " cracker " needs no ether ba
rometer than the alligator .in the neigh
boring creek or swamp.
One ceases te be astonished at the
volume of sound which comes from these
monsters when he sees a full-grown one
put forth all his strength te produce the
effect, lie stretches nis oeay te its tun
length, inhaling sufficient air te puff him
up nearly twice ms natural size ; tuen,
holding his breath, as it were for an in
stant, he raises both head and tail until
he forms the segment of a circle. When
all is thus complete, the "rear" comes
with sufficient force te startle one, even
though he be prepared for it.
Since, in order te guard his head, the
alligator is obliged te tarn his body
once closed he is unable te open them if
only a moderate amount of strengtn en
the part of man be used, the hunter
selects this point for attack when it is
possible for him te steal upon his game
unawares. If the iutending captor gets a
firm held' upon the jaws of his ganie in
this way, the monster becomes reasonably
easy prey ; ene rope seen secures his jaws,
another is tied around his neck and
fastened te atree, while a third secures
his tail in the same way, thus stretching
the captive in a straight line ; his fore
paws are tied ever his back, a stout pole
is lashed from the end of his tneut te the
tip of his tail, and the 'gator is helpless.
It is seldom, however, that the hunter
gets his game at a disadvantage, and te
secure him alive he must set about the
work much as boys de when they suare
rabbits. A tall, stout sapling rear the
water's edge is the first reqti'site, and
directly in front of that, in thu water, a
uarrew lace or pen is mane witu biiiuBP,
the two outer ones being notched, as is
the spindle of a box-trap. At the end of
this pen, and neater the shere, a stake is
driven into the mud, and en the top of it
is fastened a piece of tainted beef. A
stout repe, at ene end of which is a large
noeso, is fastened te the top of the sapling
and te the upper part of the noose is at
buhed a cress-bar. or trigger, which,
when the tree is bent, catches iu the
notches en the outer stakes just below the
surface of the water, the noose hanging
around the entire opening. Te get at the
meat the alligator attempts te swim under
the bar, but his back displaces the trig trig
ger, and he is a captive, with the repe
fastened just back of his fore legs.
It is necessary te bind the captive while
he is in the water, and then te carry him
te the shere in a beat ; for, amphibious
as he is, he can be drowned if dragged
cveu a short distance tureugu tue wui.
When once properly secured and en land,
the alligator can de nothing in the hope
of effecting a release, save te roll ever,
:hh1 t.hi he docs bv a miehty effort with
his shoulders, frequently working himself
ever a quarter el a mtie in uisiauuu iu
single night. .
These who are most familiar with the
habits of the alligator, as seen iu the
Smitlmm states, believe his partiality for
decayed feed docs net arise lrem auy par
ticular flavor it may possess, out simpiy
because in a putrid state any large amount
of flesh is mere easily tern apart and mas
ticated than when fresh. Although the
possessor of se much ivory in the shape of
teeth, and able te use its jaws
with se much power, it is an extreme
ly difficult matter for au alligator te dis
member a pig, even after the flesh is de
cayed. While the meat is yet firm and
the muscles intact, it is an impossibility
for him te de ether than swallow it nearly
whole, as he semetimes does when he is
interrupted shortly after he has killed his
prey. That alligators de like fresh feed
when it is possible for them te eat it is
shown by the fact that fresh fish pd small
turtles are their faverite diet. In the
stomach of a 12 feet alligator there have
been feuud six catfish, none of them
mutilated, weiehing altogether M pounds.
If one believes implicitly the positive
assertion of the alligator hunters, he must
perforce say no man knows the span of
liln allotted these Saurians. The native
Floridian, as well as the httuter, will insist
that the largest of the 'gaters are mero
than a hundred years old, peitfting te the
fact of his slew growth in proof of the
assertion. A newly-hatched alligator is
eleven inches long ; at the age of six years
he is very slim and but three feet in length;
at ten years of age he has gained consider
ably iu breadth and but twelve inches iu
length, while during the next two years
he has grown hardly moie than one inch
longer. An alligator fifteen feet in length,
caught near the mouth of the St. Jehn's
river, was se covered with barnacles and
ether marine growth as te make it almost
certain that he must have been iu exist
ence soventy-rfive years.

BUCHANAN'S UIOGICAPIIY.
A Heek That will Ceinmanit Attention.
N. Y. Journal of Commerce,
Harper & Brethers have iu press aud
anneuuee for publication iu the spring a
biography of James Buchanan, by Geerge
Ticlcuer Curtis. That such a biography
will be of the highest interest aud value it
is net necessary te say. The true history
of air. Buchanan's administration has up
te the present time been a profound secret.
Fer while au immense cieai uas oeen wru
tn nhniifc it. no writer has had any decu
mentary authority for his estimate of the
motives, intentions and prevailing counsels
of the president aud cabinet in the trying
times which preceded the wa Frem the
later history of such men r.s Jass, Dix,
Stanten, Helt and ethors, it has been
generally regarded as settled that Mr.
Buchanan was alene responsible for the
course of his administration. But the
histerv of that administration hitherte
published has been in large part conject
ural and imaginary. It is of the
highest important that that history
should be known. The time has
long passed when from political fcel-
ing any ene could desire te Bupprcbs tue
truth, aud new all men will bogladtetako
a dispassionate view of the men and the
events of twenty -three years age at Wash
ington. Mr. Buchanan was in the habit
of making brief and clear memoranda of
daily conversations, interviews and occur eccur
rtipps. He preserved all important cer
respendence. The material for his biog
raphy is thus ample and Ihe character of
the book cannot but be of the most ab
sorbing interest. Its revelations will un
doubted! v surprise all who have accepted
as true the supposed histories which have
been written in the excitement of strong
partizan feeling, and perhaps net the least
startling portions will be in the letters of
eminent men wne nave Deen creuueuwim
dissent from the policy of an administra
tion, which policy they in fact guided and
approved. In any event the biography of
James Buchanan covers the most imper
tant period of our history since the revo
lution, and knowing as we de, the mate
rial which he left te be UBedat the
proper time, we have no doubt that Mr.
Curtis has made such use of it that the
