e—— sis “ OLD-TIME BLOOD-HOUNDS, Wild Stories Told By a Mississlppl River Captain. m—— “Plood-hounds are seldom found in the company of ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin’ troupes,” said an old-time Lower Mis. gissippi steamboat captain. “Before the war, in the old slavery days, I was very familiar with those hounds, their train- ing and method of work. Dogs repre- genting them on the dramatic stage are of heavier built and different species, Blood-hounds are larger and more com- pact than ordinary hounds, with hair straight and sleek as that of the finest race-horse, colored between yellow and brown, short-eared, long-nosed and built for scenting, quick action and gpeed. They can take a scent three davs old and run it down. Their speed is about equal to and their endurance much greater than the greyhound. Their bark resembles neither that of a bulldog, cur or hound, but is a yelp like a wolf's. Their bite is a wolf-like snap, not the fast grip of a bulldog. The ‘catch dog’ used in slavery times on Southern plantations in capturing runaway ne- a looked like a cross between a Re otadtad and bull of large and owerful build. I'll describe you a negro hunt,’ a common enough occus- rence before the war: The overseer or hunter mounts a fleet horse, holds his ‘catch dog, by a chain and turns loose the hounds. Circling ‘round they strike the scent and soon line off, their fast receding yelps marking the rapidity of the chase. Fhe horseman follows over fonces, through timber and swamp as best he can, holding his ‘catch dog’ ‘in leash.” Hounds sighting the negro di- vide, from a semicircle, and rapidly draw it into a large circle around him. As the pursued wretch runs the dogs in front of him fall back, but preserve their ique-distant place in circle which they are gradually closing. On nearing him they snap at his legs, but do not spring at his throat. As the circle nar- rows the hunter arrives. The ominous sound of the chainrattle, like the warn- ing note of a serpent, str.kes the negro’s ear. The ‘catch dog’ springs Upon the exhausted runaway and bolds him. Hounds are clubbed away, the fugitive secured, dogs leashed’ and the hunt is over. “1 vecall an instance in Arkansas, where the overseer, believing he was close enough, turned loose the ‘catch dog,’ but was prevented by a swamp from reaching the negro until, as he stated to me, “Those d—d dogs between them had eaten that $2,000 nigger all but the bones and head.” Usually, how- ever, the hounds only surrounded and detained the negro until the ‘catch dog’ reached and held him for the over- "0 seer, av » “I made a trip,” resumed the captain, “down the Mississippi in a flathoat as a trading craft, which offered a fine op- portunity to study the various moods of the ‘father of waters.” Landing on the Arkansas side one evening, just as the gun was closing her blines, we tied our lines for the night to some old logs, half sunken as if by any earthquake. "Twas a desolate spot. The land about us was a universal sink. The scene remin led one of the remains of a great political purty just after a defeat. The surface was strewn with dead and wounded. Not a standing tree visable, the waters filled with floating or protruding tim- bers, the whole forming one wild waste, Standing near the bow, I noticed & few feet away a boiling in the water, a miniatare whirlpool not over two feet in diameter, Others observed it. It spread and increased in violence. It Qeierly doubled in diameter. We threw the lead but found no bottom. We widened, drawing down heavy logs. 1 lanced around for a place of safety. "Twas two miles to the opposite bank, or a mile below through a “cut off,” qungerous to run even by the light of day. Loosening our lines, we held her for the other shore. The whirlpool roared and widened. When hall way across we were struck by a steamboat. Our craft was uninjured, but delayed. As to the damage to the steamer we did not inquire. We reached within a boat's fength of shore, but the current ‘downed’ our oars and we failed to land. "Twas then dark. We tured her and pulled for the cut-off. Soon a roaring, as of a cataract, reached us. "Iwas the water rushing between the stumps, trees and other surface break- ers. It was a fearful outlook. As we flew on in the darkness, holding against the current, colliding with snags and our ears filled with that dreadful roar. ing as if destruction’s long, dark fingers were reaching up for us, eternity seemed near. Nota word was spoken. Eve man stood to his post and held his breath. "Twas not a storm, but the old river was worried, restless and savage, The men, fanned by the pinions of fear, glanced back over their lives, ran over the notes of memory, and with but the color of hope, like that of a player who tries to ‘call the turn’ at faro, with bated breath and thumping hearts we made that thrilling race with death and dashed in under the wire a full length ahead, landing safely, _ * “1 recall in my own life,” he contin. ned, “a stirring little ‘set-to’ with blood- hounds. 1 was compelled to make a business trip to 8 dwelling a half-mile back from the river, the tem head-quarters of some professional wo, hunters. I was on foot, alone and nnarmed. On nearing the house | saw on the porch several men playing cards and drinking, an arsenal of guns standing near by, and horses and hounds within . Just as I realizing that a man would be out of luck to have such an outfit for enemies, five bloodhounds bounded out and en- circling me began to close in. I wanted no trouble, and walked slowly on, waiting for them to call off the dogs, We were in plain sight and easy hear. ing, but no sound came from the porch pave the click of glasses and the roars of half-drunken laughter. The dogs closed in until within eighteen inches of me, forging ahead, alternately snapping at my legs. 1 then dealt the largest one a blow over the heart with my heavy walking-stick, laying him out. The other dogs were called and eaned away. 1 reached the house, transacted m business, and, turning to leave, the oad, er of the company walked with me down to look at dog, which lay dead. 1 apologized, but n that "twas fonne 2 He lied! ‘Yes, ‘twas nevessary. bade or, rather as 's ‘Mercutl ro wo icv Bala Soa — - . RECREATION IN CHINA, | —— But Little Relief from the Monotony of Existenceo~Deocline in Morals. Some one asked a famous coleopterist whether he did not regret having de- voted his life to such a narrow study, “No,” he emphatically replied, “if I could live my life again I would devote it to one family of beetles.” A melan- choly example of the domination of one idea. Of all civilized peoples the most conspicuously in want of relief from the monotony of their ideas are the Chinese. The Hindcos have their frequent poo. jahs, which make great inroads into their working time ; the Mohammedans have their festivals; the Burmese are always gay, and require very little pre. text to have a “pooay,” or entertain. ment; the Manilla Indians and Mest- isos lead quite a merry life; and the Japanese we know to be the best holi- day makers in the world, But when we cone to the Chinese we see a plod, plod, plod from year’s end to year’s end ; and with the exception of a day or two's ruinous dissipation on the occasion of a marriage or a funeral, and a little dumb show ceremony at the family grave, the ordinary life of a Chinese appears to foreign eyes as dull as that of a galley slave, the poor, owing to the absence of means of recreation and their inability to en- joy those that do or might exist. An official dares not attend a theatre for fear of being denounced and to go for half a day's picnic would expose him to the attacks of the censors. The amusements of these Chinese officials wust, therefore, be kept within the privacy of their own walls, and unless they have a strong taste for literature or curio collecting, they must often be tempted to fall back on personal intrigue of various kinds, ee to occupy the vacant chambers of the mind. Is it this that causes high Chinese officials to eng'ge themselves in the prettiest details which in other countries would | be relegated to quite subordinate funct- ionaries? The absence of healthy recre- ation appears to act on the mind as the pr.vation of vegetable diet does on the body; in the one case the defect may be remedied by lime juice ; what is the | cure for the other? The aversion to physical exercise, partly innate and partly imposed by the oppressive canons of social etiquette, is perhaps tl ( rally destructive | ; pati) 'o MOS! ora y Us | the fourth toe of the left foot, and she of all formns of the privation of amuse. ment. Moral health has great difficulty and copious draughts from the reiresh- ing springs of nature ; atmosphere laden with odious ettinvia, is of necessity thrown back on inner darkness, with what consequences it is easy to imagine. All forms ol open air amusement are, therefore, to be con- sidered as boons to the Chinese, and if on the love of gambling, already well developed, could be engraftea the love of true sport, it would be a sign of that awakening from the sleep of ages which a celebrated essayist has lately enlarged upon. It own — Napoleon After Waterle Whether any course was open to Na- poleon after the disaster of Waterloo other than that which he adopted, a second abdication, is certainly very doubtful. Had he taken the precaution . dissolve the Chambers belore setting out on the campaign he probably could have rallied the nation sod protracted the struggle. But the Chambers were unfriedly ; any parliamentary Lody is naturally unfriendly to a military des- potism, and at that juncture nothing less than a military despotism could possibly have saved France irom the calamity of the restoration of the Bour- bons by foreign bayonets. Hence, un- leas Napoleon should execnie a new soup d'etat, there was nothing for him but abdication. On the 16th of July 1815, Napoleon surrendered himself on board the Brit ish man of war Bellerophon. Of his ap- pearance and bodily condition during the two months of his stay on this ves sel we have an interesting account in the narrative of Captain Maitland, who commanded the ship. Maitland de- scribes him as “remarkably strong, well built man, about five fee! seven inches high, his limbs particular! y well formed, with a fine ankle and veiy small foot, of which he semed rather vain, as he always wore, while on board the ship, silk stockings and shoes. His han were also very small and had the plump- ness of a woman's rather than the ro- bustness of a man's. His eyes light gray ; teeth good ; and, when he smiled, the expression of his countenance was highly pleasing ; when under the in- fluence of disappointment, however, it assumed a dark, gloomy east. His hair was of a very dark brown, nearly ap- proaching black, and, though a little thin on top and front had not agray hair among it. His complexion wasa very uncommon one, being of a light, saliow color, differing from almost any other I ever met with. From his havin become Sorpulets he had lost much o his personal activity, and, if we are to give credit to those who attended him, a very considerable portion of his men- was also gone, It is certain his habits were lethargic while he was on board the Bellerophon, for though he went to bed at 8 or ¥ o'iock in the even- ing and did not rise till about the same hour in the morning he frequently fell asleep on the sofa in the cabin inthe course of the day.

SA German Marrvinges, - 24 German gentlemen, as a rule, do not care much for beauty in their wives, unless accompanied by some enduring qualities that shall fit them to be help- meets indeed. The very greatest cau- tion is displayed by the Teuton in choosing a partner “for life, Before commiting himself too far with a vouny lady, the gentleman will first ask her father's consent to visit at his house, that he may judge from the young lady's conduct toward her parents, and brothers, and sisters, and servants, if she will make him a good wife, He must also see that she is capable of cooking, ironing, dressmaking, and other little accomplishments. Should she come through the ordeal unscathed the pair engage themselves by ex- changing rings, and the bride at once begins to make her wedding trousssan ~<n0 trifling affair, as it is incumbent upon her to provide not only her own wardrobe, but all the household linen, furniture, and kitchen utensils. The marriage is an occasion for great re joicings, and extends over several days, daring which much tobacco is smoked by the males and much chatter in- dulged in by the females between the hours of feasting. Stolid though they | be, all German husbands do not appear | to be great successes; yet the wives are i evidently sweet, forbeari re Even the rich are little better off than | by Joshlnsing Cranturen as the following verses from the Geran will show: “Oh, I have a man as good as ean be, No woman could wish for a bewer than he; Sometimes, indeed, he might chance to do wrong, But his love for me is uncommonly strong, “When soaked with ram be Is hardly polite, But knocks the crockery left and right; And pulls my hair, and growls again; | But, excepting that, he's the best of men.” If the foregoing represents the aver age of German women, they are easily satisfied. What a treasure such a wife | would prove, what an inestimable boon to a Lancashire miner, or to a York shire cotton-spinner, , ___ v Wedding Rings, In connection with wedding rings may be mentioned the following cun- ous notice in one of the marriage reg | isters of an English church: “1832, Nov, | 5, Christopher Newsam, Charity Mor- | rell : Charity Morrell being entirely a without arms, the ring was placed upon wrote her name in this register with The marriage of uke brother of Erik X1V., King ol to the Princess Catherine sister of King Sigismund 11. of Poland subjected the royal pair to terrible suf When the duke was cast into prison, his wife had the choice of living in one of the king's pal®es, or, if she wished to accompany ber husband, she was only allowed two maids with her in prison. When Catherine heard this she exclaimed that “She would rather die than be separated from the duke,” and fainted away, When she was re stored, Goran, messenger of King Erik, asked her what she bad determined, The duchess drew her betrothal ring from her finger, and said, “Read what stands there.” Goran saw the words engraved within it, Namo nis mors { None but death). “I will remain by 1,” sald Cathering and 3h iid so. as the marriage of Napoleon 1. with the Austrian Archduchess, upon receiving the benediction ring, he asked, “Why did not the Empress Josephine give me a ring 7’ The reply was, “because, sire, it is the custom in France that on. ly the bridegroom gives the ring.” “Ah!” said Napoleon, “that is good,” and whispered in M. Pradt's ear, “But do you know why the women receive the ring? It is a custom founded on the Roman law, which ordained that all slaves should wear rings; and, as the women are our slaves, they ought to wear this badge of servitude.” - ro - — "An Artist's Danes. Everybody knows of Edwin A. Ab- bey, the clever artist whose drawings for H ‘sof “She Stoops to Con- quer,” “sally in Our Alley,” and of “Kitty of Coleraine,” are so much ad- mired. His frieds say that it is one of Mr. Abbey's little eccentricities that whenever some piece of ork Just fin- ished particularly pleases him, he gives vent to his feelings in some utterly un. conventional way. Not long ago a lady called on him just while he was finish- ing the best of the Kitty of Coleraine vietures ~~ “The Devil a Pitcher was V hole in Coleraine.” He was just in the working mood, so he begged her to sit down for a few minutes until he had finished. She sat down, and tly Abbey forgot all about her. He worked and worked, and finally he completed the picture. He stepped back, took a good look, then gave a long drawn whistle of satisfaction. The next moment the whistle brightened up into a rattling melody, and Abbey “did” a first class jig that would have done honor to a professional. The lady, surprised, but not to be outdone, commenced to “pat, but that recalled the artist to himsell. He turned and saw the lady Hlushed slightly, and apologized.

A voung Frenchman will like a miserable room in the sixth story, with a brick floor and no carpet, and will go without a fire even in the coldest davs of winter, whereas, by paying twenty francs more in the month, be might have a largo comfortable room, well heated, and two stories lower down. He in a lottery ticket—that's a great busi. ness, by the way, in France. He will go without breakfast to have money for the theatre, he will dine on unwhole- some food for a quarter, and proceed to spend three or four francs in a cale for billiards and various drinkables for himself and friends. He will some- times, I regret to say, prefer spending two francs filty centimes for a bright new cravat to paying the necessary ten sous which would entitle him to a bath. The Infliction of the Death Penalty, * The particnlar point made is concern- ing the manner in which the death pen- alty should be inflicted—in those cases where the law has decreed it. Hanging he condemns as barbarous, and he de- pounces the manner in which executions are carried on. He claims that the large number of persons allowed to be present tends to martyrize the unforta- nate man. Even the part allotted to medical men on such occasions of listen- ing to the heart-beats after the drop has occurred he can not reconcile him- self to. He then discusses the various methods which have from time to time been suggested as a substitute for hang- ing. & oy proceeding which the subject can physically oppose, or of which he | can ward off the deadly effect for a reasonable period of time, is unsuitable, This sets aside suffocation by carbonie- acid gas, drowning and the use of dead- lv anesthetics, and even more certainly all forms of poison. The hypodermic injection of poison, which lately has found many advocates, fails to meet the requirements that death must be caused instantly just as rapidly to the strongest as to the weakest In lividual, There is something sublime in the have drawn | or us of the manner in which Socrates | Wall Paper and Win- | Firm in the faith of his convictions, his | picture which historians calmly awaited the approach of deat after having taken the fatal hemlock ast words were those of inspiration and encouragement to his fellows, His un inspired words form perhaps the nearest | approach to inspiration of any in pro fane writings. not expect such affecting surroundings and his great desire would probably be to “die game.” Mr. Benjamin sensibly argues that | “any proceeding which ruled out. The medical faculty executioners. A physician may called upon, as now, to distinguish ap parent death.” This will, of course, at once decide against pitching the medul- | sentiment will declare lar. Public against any mutilating method, and even shooting, which is, perhaps, the most speedy method of all thus far al. luded to, is open to many objections. Having mentioned all these methods to decry against them, the writer brings forward electricity as the metho! which is the wost speedy and humane, and destined to eventually supersede all others. Sensation, as a physiological process, requires, he says, one-tenth of a second. Any method, therefore, which requires loss than this time for its per- formance is absolutely painless. Tyn- dall, in one of Lis experiments, accident. ally received a very large charge of electricity from some apparatus, and declared that there ensued in his system an appreciable interval in which all the powers of life seemed to be held in abeyance, and in which he experienced no pain. The electrodes might be placed one under the feet and the other at the base of the brain. The pressing of a button would close the circuit, or the closure might be made by some clock-work apparatus, and thus the exe- cution net take place without the direct intervention of a human hand. One argument advanced in favor of electricity may seem to some a rather curious one, It is the horror inborn in man of instantaneous death. The lit. any, we are reminded, contains a dis- tinct supplication that we may be de- livered from “sudden death.” It is argued that this inherent fear would surround the death penalty with more of terror and abhorrence than now ex- ists, and that certain classes of evil doers would be more powerfully de- terred from crime than they are under the existing state of affairs. In the use of electricity the fatal result would be positively assured. Judicial executions are often shocking blunders. The ex- wriments of 1VAmonval have shown while, after a shock of under five hundred volts life can generally be re- suscitated by artificial respiration, a stronger electro-motive force is abso- lately fatal, : From some of the minor conclusions of the article under consideration we might dissent. With the Jusor ones we are disposed to agree. Before any method of inflicting the death penalty may become the ideal one a vigorous reformation in attendant circomstances is necessary. It isa judicial procedure and should be surrounded with the law's stern majesty. . — - Collars and Ties, ~ boots but the collar and tie The middle-aged profes has his collar tarned down, tins, The horsey of his gorgeous plaid jacket and breeches by a collar of a cut, and a cotton tie imprinted with horses’ is or saddles or other u takes the | twenty francs thus saved and invests it | With the modern suf- | ferer of the death penalty we should | involves the | application of medical or surgical skill | to insure its efficiency must likewise be | pre- | sumably, will not a sume the role hid e | ~SECHLER 2 Co Groceries, BUwaui adder rt Aranuintod Bugar cs pound All «ther iowest pilose, BY BUPL Good bargalng In a1) grades, MOL ABEE ~Finewt Now Orleans at 80c per gallon, OOFVEE and constod, Our rossted Coffees are always fresh, TOBAOOOS ~All the new and desirable brands ClGA RE.
