A Russian officer at one of the military stations in the Caucasus hearing of the presence in his neighborhood of two gentlemen in pursuit of boar, sent to them an invitation to join him on the following dav, when he would give them a taste of real sport. With many thanks they accepted the kindness, and it the appointed time set off. During the day many shots were fired tt one thing and another, though at least one of the party had seen no boar. As the afternoon wore on and the daylight began to disappear, one of the Russian s quests, who had wandered away from bis friends, found himself rather fagged, tnd felt that it was time to stop. Just then he heard the dogs baying •omething not far from him, and after creeping up to within thirty yards of them, he crouched behind the bole of a huge oak, and waited for his eyes to get used to the darkness, lie was soon »ble to make out the dogh' tails waving to and fra, and then, under a leaning tree-stump, the indistinct outline of their •enemy. Meantime, the boar kept a half-grunting, half-growling noise,while the dogs barked their loudest. "Suddenly," says the gentleman, "the mass moved, and a dog went flying, and his yells were added to the discord. But this movement of the boar s was fatal to him; it brought him into a more open position, and I rolled him over with my 'express.' He rose and tried to charge, but though I tired again, I believe it was unnecessary, as he was too hard hit ever to have reached me. "This was the first really large game I had killed, and I rushed up to him with the delight of a boy. I had never seen a wild boar before this morning, and now, as I contemplated my fallen foe, a strange uneasiness beset me. There was something so homely in the inno cent face of that dead pig that my heart for n moment misgave me; but 1 banished my foolish qualms, tho re action after my triumph, probably, and as 1 heard the tootle of my friend's horn ap proach, I sat down on (he broad side of mv game, and indulged in a victorious whoo-oop. "The bushes parted asunder, and my host burst into a cheer and loaded me with praise. But alas! What is this? As my friend approached nearer, slowly the gay smile fades; the applauding voice is still; the horn drops from his nerve less grasp, and the merry little visage lengthens out in a telescope fashion truly lucomfor'able to behold. "'Moe domaschne haban!' Those ivere his fatal words. 'My own liousc )ig!' "The blow was too painful and Snel len. My pride fell, and gradually he fact was borne in ou my already lalf-awakcned mind that wild boars are jlack, but this beast was white. The act was, this wretched animal had >roken out of his sty some time before, md gone to the forest to take his fill of •hestnutsand other pleasant things,and at he time of being shot had been battling with one of his black-skinned brethren."

Turf Cutting in Ireland. j Among the chief characteristic feat- j urcs of Ireland are the extensive peat moors that occupy a principal portion of , the center of the island, the most lm- | portaut of which is the great bog of Allen. Its original extent comprised 1,000,000 acres; but by cultivation its . size has been considerably diminished. In the form of a table-land, it rises 270 | feet above the level of the sea, extends within twenty miles of Dublin, through King's County, reaching east and west beyond the Shannon into the counties of Gal way and Iloscommon, and spreads through Meath aud Westmeath north, and south into the Queen's County ani Tinnerary. Two important towns oc cupy the center of the bog—Tullamore and Philipstown— and the arteries by which the turf is conveyed to the city of Dublin arc the Grand Canal and the Iloval Canal. . . A. weird spot for the wayfarer is that wild moorland; here and there he comes across a primitive attempt at a habita tion, half burrow, half hut —it is the miserable hovel of the turf cutter, the tenant of a few acres; he selects a dry, sheltered nook, burrows a floor, erects a few boxwood stakes and forms a roof with heath and rushes, leaving a hole that serves for a chimney. From this wretched shanty he and the various mem bers of his family issue forth to their daily toil of preparing the turf for the various markets. _ . The saving of the turf consists of six operations—cutting, spreading, footing, riekling, clamping, and drawing home. A day's work is called a "dark. One mar. generally goes before the cutter and levels the banks, if necessary. Another man attends to the barrows and wheels the turf to the spreading field. The spreading is generally accomplished by women aud children; in favorable weath er it lies for about a week, having been turned in the meantime ta dry the other sides. Then it is ready for footing—a process of setting in small stacks of I about twelve sods each. In this condi tion it is left for a period of about ten days, after which the turf is rickled. Riekling consists of placing about twelve footings on tiieir sides, one turf deep, and about two feet high. Having re mained so till it is thoroughly dry, it is then stored in clamps or stacks ol from twelve to thirty feet long and of piopor tiou height anil depth, and in this form it lies on' the banks of the canals till it is I removed in the barges to the city market or brought in the smaller turf cots to be vended in the streets of Athlonc and other towns on the river Shannon. Some enterprising firms have within the past three years engaged in the manufacture of peat litter in the bog of Allen, and speculation in this direction has so far 1 proved profitable to the speculators. - s Pall Mall Gazette. Pelted the General With Bread. Privates of the garrison at Avignon, France, amused themselves one recent afternoon by throwing hard army bread from the barriek windows at passing civilians. In the midst of the sport a tall, elegantly dressed man in a high hat came in sight. A chunk of bread knocked off his hat. He saw the soldiers at the windows and without waiting to pick up his hat walked into the barracks. Two minutes later the soldiers learned that he was General Queuot, commander of the thirtieth division of the French army, and five minutes later all were in the guard house. — Jioiton Transcript. ~PROF.

It is said that between 60,000,000,000 and 100,000,000,000 codfishes are taken from the sta around the shores of New foundland every year. But even that quantity seem 9 small when we con sider that a Bingle cod yields something like 3,500,000 eggs each year, and that over 8,000,000 eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. A herring of six or seven ounces in weight is provided with 30,000,000 ova. After making all reasonable allowances for the destruction of eggs and of the young, it has been calculated that in three years a single pair of herrings would produce IJ4,UUU, 000. Buffou once said that if a pair of herrings were left to breed and multiply undisturbed for a period twenty years, they would yield a fish-bulk equal to the size of our globe!— St. Louis llepufnic.
