Among tlio Buffaloes.
Whoever ill sires t< shoot a buffalo
on the soil of Aumrii a must do it very
soon. It is said, by good authority,
that there tire now left on the Contin
ent but two large In rds. of course
there tire a good many scattering
groups yet to be found; but the red
men arc rapidly procuring the best
weapons, and the number of Knglish
men and Ann lieans who glory in the
hunt is increasing with ryery year,
and at the rate at which the lords of
the prairie have been slaughtered for
sometime past, there will search be
a buffalo in the country live yum
hence.
State b'gislatures may do yvliat they
please in trying to protect this n
game from dc-trueti m, but it w ill la
all in vaiti. Tie law* are n ' ro I.
and cannot be enforced witiiout the
presence of an army larger than that
required to keep the Indians in MI
tion, and to any one at all conversant
with the country it seem-. r en that
the poor buffalo "must go."
The pursuit of this noble gem is
most inspiring sport, and a chapter ■ 1
the a' tuul experience of a bun' ng
party for a month would pr>e
very attractive reading. It would
be sometimes terribly thrilling,
and at others imbriba.ilx luughui.ie,
for both tragedy and comedy ha.,
their place in this yy 1 11 life, suppose I
give a single instance of e.i It
A few years ago a g nth-man from
one of the Kastern states spent some
weeks in the bnlTalo c uintrx, and dur
ing his stay had the following Very re
markable experience. He bad I ccn
out one day for several hours without
finding game, and, as the yy. itlnr yy.is
excessively hot, had stopped to rc->t be
neath a large cotton-wosl tree, yvli.- h
stood on a gently sloping hill ah at
half-way up its side. lie laid hi. rifle
on the gr t-s beside him, and 1 1 near
ly fallen asleep, when he was roused
by a sound as if an army were man h
ing past.
Accustomed to lift on the prairies,
he instantly guessed what it meant,
and springing to his feet and glancing
in the direction whence the sound
came, he saw a herd of a thousand
buffaloes ; ouring over the hill at a
terrific pace, and coming directly to.
ward him.
Quick as thought lie saw what lie
must do, and in less time than it tak. 4
totellit.be bad hidden himself away
behind the trunk of the treo under
whose Ismghs he had been re. lining.
He knew the herd must divide in
passing the tree, and at the speed they
they were going it seemed probable
that the brub 4 yy mid rush past with
out noticing him.
On came tin- great herd with thun
dering tread, and, dividing right ami
left, swept past the tre on cither ode
so closely that lie could have touched
them with his hand. He supposed they
were simply running to rid them. lv. ,s
of flies, as they frequently do on a hot
day; but as the last of the herd xx'-nt
by, he saw a strange *pe taele.
One of th? row buffaloes was carry
ing upon her shoulders, ami staggering
under the weight of, an enormous
panther. The monster's claws were
sunk in the animal's shoulders and
back, while his terrible teeth wera in
her throat. Evidently she had been
running thus for some time, for she
sh wed signs of weariness, and at
every leap she littered a low moan.
It w as a strange sight to our hunter, j
though the scene itself is doubtless re
peated every day.
it is no unusual thing for panthers
to conceal themselves near a watering
place, and spring upon their victims
unawares. They usually select the
cows, know ing them to IK* less capable
of long endurance; and after riding
them, as in this case, till, faint with
loss of blood, they fall upon the prairie,
the panthers take their meats at leisure.
What seems singular is that, if the
monster is seen by the buffaloes, they
will face him and drive him away; but |
if he once sets his teeth upon the
throat of one of the number, the whole
herd are seized with a panip and begin
to run for life, leaving their unfortun
ate companion to her fate.
This was the case with the lo rd now
going past; they were lie. ing for their
lives from their dreaded enemy.
Our friend was so much surprised,
the herd bad gone several rods before
bo thought of shooting at one of them;
but suddenly coming to himself, and
touched yyitli a fooling of pity for the
poor beast lagging behind w 1 111 the
panther ill her throat, he raised his
rille and sent a halt alter her torment
or. It struck the panther, indicting n
severe wound.
With a yell of pain lie sprang from
the buffalo's back, and, yvith tremen
dous bounds start-)I toward the tree

The man bad only a .single-barreled

To bis surprise, tin* woiimhsi animal '

One day tiny noticed sexera! dark
objects on tb ■ prairie txxo mill - di
tint, ami by the aid of their g!a - e.
tiny made out that a small group of
tiiiflaiiies were lying there in the sand.
Hiding to a little grove almut half .
mile distant from the game, they dis
mounted and crept, through the sage- j
brush, till they came to a littli
eminence which overlooked the lioffa
'i.esj now only one hundred and llftx
yards away.
H' re they carefully singled out a
; couple xvliieh were now standing, and
actually tumbled them over upon the
prairie, where they lay kicking and
bellowing at a fiarful rate. The rest
of the herd scampered away a few
mis, but, attracted bv the cries and
i antics of their woundeil companions,
they soon stopped and stood stupidly
looking at them.
One old bull, more daring than the
ri-st, began xv.dking around the fallen
ones to see what the trouble was. He
at length came between the woundeil
animals and the hunters, nml stood
still for a few minutes, with head
erect and every muscle ready for action
—a noble picture. It was so tempt
ing that II —raised hi* riffe and tired
at liiui. He wa* badly wounded, but
1 did not fall, and as the rest of the herd
took the alarm and scampered awav,
•
| lie trie 1 1" follow them; but his wound
so troubled liiin that before ho disnj>-
peurisl frmn Higlit in a small ravine, ho
had failed into a walk.
They then went back to the grove,
and brought up the horses, Intending
to follow UJI and SI cure the wounded
hull.
Just then an idea—a brilliant idea—
entered M 's head. Why not follow
on till within a fair distance of tho
animal, and then set the camera and
photograph liiin? The photograph of
a hull bull.do, taken while the animal
actually stood holding his pursuers at
bay, oh! that would be immense.
So while M took bis rille, 11
took the "machine," and they followid
on alter his majesty. They oon found
liim lying down, hut lie rose at (loir
approach, and after looking about hint
i urioush for aw hile, stal led for them

retreat. When at a safe d. lanee.how

The Stlnir of the Hep.
If we jtress the alxloinen of the Ix-e
1 or wasp. so as to cause the sting to
protrude, we should naturally think
j that the sharji.dark-colonslinstrument
was the sting itself. This, however,
is not the e;vso. The real sting is a
vers slender instrument, nearly trans
parent. keenly |>ointisi, and armisl on
oil" • Ige witli a row of barbs. Si ex
;c tlx d' s the sting resemble the many
barUsl arrows of certain savage tritws
fii.it, if the savages had p*Msessed
mier-- -opes, we should certainly have
thought that they Imrrow i<d the Idea of
the barb from the insect. What we
see with the unaided eye is sitiijily the
slu-ath of the sting. Many savages
I* ison their spears and arrows, and
here also they have lws-n anticipated
by th" insist. Hut the sting ia infinite
ly superior to the arrow poison. No
i pi isi.n that has yet lx-en made, not
• ven the terrible woiirali, or curare, as
it is sometimes calbsl, can retain if
strength after long exposure to th
air. The upas poison of Borneo, fo
example, loses its jxiteney in two o
three hours. But the venom of th.
sting is never expostsl to the air at all
It is secreted by two long tbread-liki
glands, not nearly so thick as a humar
j hair, and is then received into a little
bag at the base of the string. When
the insist uses its wea|K>n it contracts
the als I omen, thereby forcing the sting
out and compressing the venom-bag.
By the force of thestroke which drives
the stitig into the foe its base is preaaed
against the venom-bag and a small
amount uf poison driven into tin
wound. As a rule, if the bee or wasji
1M- allowed to remain ijuiet, it will with
draw its sting, but as the jain causes
a sudden jerk, the barlred weapon can
not lie withdrawn, and the whole aje
pa rat us of sting, poison-bag and glamls
is torn out of the insect, thereby caus
ing its death.— U<xid Word*.

Witches are still common in the

has lately caused a good deal of dis
comfort to a seafaring young man. He
set sail with a smaek-owner of Brix
ham, as a tnemlmr of the crow, but his
health suffered in his maritime adven
ture, and a physician advised him that
he. was In danger of losing his eye
sigdfc The master of the smack bade
the young mariner consult a white
i witch at Ilynmuth, and the sufferer
I took his advice. The white witch
I l-oldly declared that not the invalid but
Hie whole sm.vk was under a spell,
, and suffering from the wiles of sor
. cerers. Tho master and tho lad visited
i the witch together, but the sjiell could
. not be removed- The youth then went
. Into an Infirmary, and recovered nut
i only his health, hut wages from his
. master. But the witch will continue
to drive trade in Plymouth.

I'uget Sound is consider'*! one of
the most remarkable l**lios of water
iu the world, it is surrounded bycon
. tinuous forests that reach back to the
; summits of the Cascade and Olympic
ranges. The streams that come down
from the mountains on even side have
fertile valleys: some of them are al
rB4l> Oivupiod and weU cultivated.
It was once believed that the land
amund Cm sound was worthless, and
that its forests stood on rook without
soil; but time has demonstrated that
this Is only true of a small extent of
country near the sound, and that all
the upland tictween the streams, and
extending to the mountains, is rich,
deep soil that will produce anything
that will grow in that climate.
