ISO 3 -Preacher anil Fantlier.
A venerable presiding elder of the
Methodist Church, Be v. Frank A.
Hardin, now of the Rockford (111.)
district, began his ministerial career
at the age of sixteen as a "junior
preacher" in Indiana, when the region
that he served was for tho most part
an unbroken wilderness. He spent
most of his time on horseback, and
us?d his saddle-bags at night for pil
lows. j.,. ;. r •.
On one occasion, the story of which
was told by Bev. Mr. Hardin at a re
cent conference, the boy-preacher
found the settlement of Millersville in
a high state of excitement over the
ravages of a great panther amongst tho
live stock.
At a wayside cabin Hardin was
warned not to go on, as the panther
had been seen on the load, and it was
necessary for him to travel at night in
order to meet an appointment for the
next day.
But the servant of the church had
no notion of being turned from his
duty by tho presence of a wild beast
in the woods. Moreover, he had no
fear, for the moon was shining aud
his "elaybank" mare was a spirited
animal.
The trail led through a dense piece
of woods known as the Sugar Flats.
Hardin had not gone far into them
before ths forest of maples, then in
full leaf, quite shut out the moon.
'•'A good place this to meet tho
panther," tho boy-preacher said to
himself.
Almost at that moment his mare
seemed to drop to the earth, or to
crouch close to the ground. He knew
well enough that she had seen some
thing that he had not, and that that
something was highly dangerous to
them both.
He knew that her next move would
be a jump, and on tho instant he pre
pared himself for a possible parting of
the saddle-girth by gripping the mare's
mane. He had no sooner done this,
and leaned as far forward as the horn
of the saddle would permit, than the
mare made a leap, and went bounding
along the dark trail like lightning.
At the very instant in which she
leaped Hardin heard the most terrible
scream that ever smote his ears. It
eeeined to eome from directly over his
head; and in less than one second
after the screech and the leap of his
mare,, Hardin heard a heavy body
strike the ground in the very spot
where tho mare had been standing
while she crouched preparatory to the
spring. She had plunged forward just
in time to avoid the claws of the
panther, which had dropped from the
tree at horse and rider.
Now the mare was flying through
tho woods to escape possiblo pursuit.
Probably Hardin could not have held
her if ho had triod—and ho did not
try. He had all he could do to cling
to her back on the uneven ground,
with tree-branches brushing hi in.
Not until she had reached 11 largo
open space on the crest of a ridge did
the mare slacken her pace. Thou she
stopped and drew a deep, shivering
sigh, as if to say, "That was a narrow
escape for both of us!"
The mare wont on now at an easy
trot, as if she had put the whole epi
sode behind her. The young preacher
could not say as much, for the terrible
scream of the animal haunted hint for
weeks. His destination was the cabin
of a doctor. When he reached there
and told his story, the doctor said:
"Nonsense! You must have heard
on owl."
Hardin knew better, but ho made
no reply. Ho was not surprised when,
a little later, the doctor took liiina3ide
and said:
"That was undoubtedly the big
panther that you encountered, butyon
know, I o'teu have to ride at night
through the sugar fiats, and my wife
would be in constant terror if she
knew there was a panther thore."
In a few days two young boys went
into tht- same woods in quest of wild
turkeys. Reoonnoitering a brusli
keap, they saw under it a huge ani
mal, watching them exactly as a cat
watches a mouse when preparing to
spring.
One of the boys took aim at the
creature's head, losing 110 time in do
ing it, and fired. The panther gave
one kick and died in his lair. The
lads pulled him out and ran for home,
aud brought their father and neigh
bors. The panther turnei out to be
one of tho largest ever killed in In
diana.
Attacked by a Venezuelan Tl|*er.
"To try to hunt the pautker-tigcr
of Venezuela," writes a correspondent
of the New York Sun, "as tho lowland
jagnar is knuted with tiger lioanus,
is next to useless. In tho rough,
rocky country in which he mnkos his
home he will travel away at a speed
which leaves tho hunters kopelossly
behind, and it is rarely that tho dogs
can eome up with them. If they do,
it means some dogs killed, with the
panther usually gone beforo tho
hunters can arrivo 011 the scene. Some
times the ranchmen trap cr poison the
panther tiger to stop his ravages among
their slock, u thing, despite his cun
ning, not so difficult to do, owing to
his ravenousuess.
"An Englishman named Tm-übull,
who had a ranch east of Meriila, being
bothered by a panther-tiger which
killed his stock, thought that he would
hunt him after tho method often em
ployed in India with tigers and leop
ards. Taking with him two of his
herders and a goat, lie went at night
fall to a woodland whioh the creatute
was accustomed to visit. There he
lied the goat to a stake and took his
position behind a blind, fifty yards
away, to wait for the tiger to come for
the goat. The ranchmen he scut a
littlo ilistanco back with instructions
to await his summons.
"Surely enough, the tiger eamo, but
after reconnoitring the ground unseen,
as was shown by his tracks next day,
instead of tackling the goat, he made
a circuit and pouuced upon one of the
hunters lying on the ground behind his
blind. A heavy overcoat that he wore,
the season being winter, when tho
nights are cold in the mountains,saved
the hunter for the moment from tho
tiger's teeth and claws, and his shouts
brought the ranchmen to the rescue,
the/ attacked the tiger pluckily with
their machetes. The beast was loath
to give up hts pre/. Ho drove the
ranchmen back twice, returning to the
Englishman each time and standing
guard abovo him, with his for'epaws
6u his body. At last one of the ranch
men threw a lasso over tho tiger's
neck aud jerked it tight. Tho animal
charged him at once, but the men got
a turn of tho rope round a small tree,
and both pulling hard together, drew
the tiger's head clo3e to the trunk.
Theu, as the tiger snapped at the rope
with his teeth, one of the ranchmen
severed his spine with his machete.
The Englishman was badly shaken up
by tho unexpected outcome of his
hunting scheme, but was not much in
jured otherwise. Ho finished the
bea3t, whioh now, of course, was
helpless, with a shot in the head, aud
he always claimed tho glory of killing
him. Hut it was never heard that ho
tried East ludiaa hunting method*
ngaiu with Venezuelan pathor-tigers."
A Lrave Deed.
Few readers are aware that our
warships carry boiler makers, who
are often called upon to perform peril
ous repairs, and, in cases of emergency,
these men go inside of the boiler or
furnace, which but a few minutes be
fore had been filled with boiling water
or red hot coal. There is no task too
dangerous for these meu to do. One
of them undoubtedly saved, the Cas
tino from destruction in the harbor of
San Juan. Tho Castine went into
action under full speed. The furnaces
were heated to the highest degree,
forced draught being used. Without
warniug, a fierce hissing noise was
heard inside one of the furnaoos. A
socket bolt in a back connection at tho
farthest interior extremity of the fur
nace had become loose, springing a
leak. The steam was pouring in upon
the lire, threatening iu a few minutes
to put it out and stop tho progress of
the vessel, if it did not cause a terrific
explosion. All in the boiler room
know that, unless this hole was
stopped, disaster wa3 at hand. One
of tho boiler makers, named Huntley,
ordered the forced draught turned off
and the fires banked. Taking a plank,
ho threw it into the furnace on tkn
top of the wet, blaok cool with which
the fire had been banked and then
climbed far back to the place where
the steam was rushing from the
loosened socket. For three minutes
he remained inside the furnace. His
friends drew him out of the door, tho
forced draught was turned on.audiu a
few minutes the ship was proceeding
on her way as though nothing had
happened. Iu view of such deeds as
this, there is littlo wonder that the
engineering corps in our navy is re
ceiving the highest praise on every
side.—Scientific American.
Fxcltitig llyeiui Hunt.
A thrilling hyena hunt is reported
from Verviers, Belgium. Toward
miduight two hyenas, recently bought
from tho Zoological Gardens, at Brus
sels, managed to esoape from the
traveling menagerie of M. Camillas,
which had been exhibited during tha
week al Verviers.
When the news Bpread through tha
town thero was intense excitement and
alarm. Camillas, aided by his negro
manager, Edward Wilson,at once went
in pursuit of the beasts, and a few of
the citizens volunteered to accompany
thein. Ons of the nuimals was found
crouching near a large monument iu
the publio square. Wilson at once
seized tho animal by tho throat. Tho
negro is very powerful, au.l his grasp
was like a vice. The rest of ths party
holpj I hi u put the auimal iu a cage.
Then they started in pursuit of its
mato. In three hours the second hy
ona was loca'el iu the Bois do Dar
denelles ou the outskirts of the city,
one of the dogs with the party having
discovered the beast. Hero again the
negro Wilson astouuded tho onlookers
by his courage and his strength. He
choke 1 the hyena into insensibility,
and the burgers of Verviers wore once
more willing to go to their slumbers.

Since them volunteers came homo

I Where vijj, s pen<l tho Winter.'
James B. Church, of Tiverton,

Fieh are, except the birds, the best
pilots in the world. Either the blrd3
or fish know more when asleep about
piloting than a man pilot does when
awake. Now, as to the habits of fish.
They come on the coast in the spring,
when the migratory Instinct starts
them out of their winter's sleep. In
winter they are in a dormant state,
like the bear, skunk and woodchuck.
The old theory that fish migrated
south is all wrong. Fish simply leave
the coast and go off shore on the
northern edge of the gulf stream, get
into water of the right temperature
and go into winter quarters. Before
the time comes for them to start on
their annual pilgrimage for their win
ter quarters they have taken on a
good coat of fat. It is under their
skin, and their stomach is lined with
It, and it is also all through their
bodies when they arrive at the spot
that they have selected for their win
ter home. Then there grows over
their eyes a white film, and their vent
closes, and so they remain until the
time comes for them to start for their
summer home.

that of the previous year. The total
value, $320,553,000, is over $1,300,000
less than that of a year ago, owing to
a reduction of about $8 per bale.

the country in the Civil War was A. It. Sef

good record. Tho life of every soldier is a
hard one, and Mr. Seftoii's case was no ex
ception. "We were in Tennessee, penned
in on all sides. Our rations were very
scarce." said he, "and we hud begun to go
on quarter allowance, and as the rain was
not enough to replenish the wells or streams,
our canteens went orapty. We were hur
ried on, and tho only way to quench our
thirst was to go down on our hands and
knoes and drink from the hoof trucks made
by the horses.
Our Canteens Were Empty.
".Some of us wero taken sick from tho
effects of this. I was laid up several weoks
in :i field hospital from fever. From that
time I was always afflicted more or less.
"About four years ago I became much
w<rso. Our family doctor seemed puzzled
over my ease, and it began to look as if
there was no hope for my recovery, and
that tho inevitable end was near.
"Lust November I was advised to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. The physicians said
they were an excellent medicine, but would
do no good In my case. Rut I tried them,
and am glad I did, for I became hotter at
