Said Mr. Southmayd: "When a man goes out after them "he wants to bo sure that his ammunition is all right. Three weeks ago 1 was out gunning for birds and happened to run across a big black bear, lie vas about ten yards away, standing on n log and looking at mo in the most impertinent manner. "I always carry a couple of buckshot cartridges in iuv left coat Docket for just such occasions. Breaking otien my gun, I extracted tho cartridges of 6mall shot, kept my eye on the bear and in serted two sheila from my left iockct. "Then I confidently blazed away at his head. Ho didn't tumble over as he ought to have done, but snarled wick edly and mado a break for me. With out retreating a 6tep I let him have tho other barrel, and that didn't stop him worth a cent. "About that time I heo-nn that there was some hitch in my combi nation, and when he knocked tho gun out of my hands I inferred that it was time for me to get away. You ought to uavw seen mo go. i guess he would have won the race if it hadn't been for a big 6plit bowlder in the track. The split was just wide enough for rr"to get through, and I went through ffiere lively, lie reached out and got a piece of my shirt, but he stuck fast in the cleft long enougli for me to get a hundred yards the start, and then I was safe. "When I got home I found two buck shot cartridges safe and 6nug in my 6ide pocket. I must have dropped two other shells in with them absent mindedlv, and it was just my luck to grab the light loads when I wanted biir shot. I had peppered that old bear in the face with quail shot, and I don't blame him for getting mtid. I was mad myself when I fpund it out." San Francisco Examiner.

Washington, Jjiii. :5.The state de partment today made public the report of Admiral Luce in regard to the sur render to the JJnited States of the steamer Ilaytieu Republic. The admiral's report confirms the dispatcbes already received by the Associated Press from its corres pondent on board the United States steamship Galena. Ot the copies of correspondence en closed by admiral Luce in his report, the following from the llaytien secretary of foreign affairs to our minister at Port-au-Prince, is the only letter of importance. It would seem to indicate that the llay tien government is not satisfied with the decision of the president. Pokt-au-Pkince, Dec. 20. To the Minister: JJy reason of the friendshiu existing between the republic of the United States and the republic of Hayti, the government has decided to give up to admiral the merchant steamer llaytien ucpublic, captured m the waiers of the St. Marie. At the same time the govern ment makes some reservations in what concerns the judiciary action io which it may have recourse before the American courts. Secretary of foreign affairs, Eng. Mao hon. To Mr. Thompson, minister resident of the United States at Port-au-Prince. Curious Chinese Notions Both savage and semi-barbarous peo ple have always exhibited a great repug nance to any surgical ojieration, however necessary, which involves amputation. The North China Herald, in commenting upon tliis circumstance, points out that the Chinese have always shown this repugnance, not on account of fear of pain, for they are patient under all kinds of physical suffering, but because they look upon it as a duty to keep the body intact. If they submit to the amputa tion of a limb, they invariably ask for lm r-.-..., 1 . I 1 , . ... oc lucuiucr. auu kppo lr inn box, to bo buried in. duo time with the owner. Sometimes they will actually eat it, thinking it only right that tha't which has been taken from the body should be returned to it. On tho same principle an extracted tooth will be carefuUy preserved, or ground to powder ana swallowed in water. Another curious phase of the same idea is seen in the belief that a sick parent can be cured by broth mado from flesh cut from a living child, and it is looked upon as a sien of film 1 TOAt v f np the child to submit himself to an opera tion for that purpose. The child is sup posed tq bo of the vitaj essencobf the parent, and if a portion of tins essence is returned to the fountain head, the parent will bo greatly strengthened. The peace loving nature of the Chinese is 6aid to bo largely due to this respect for the human body. Chambers' Journal.

A special to the Mail and Express from Port-au-Pnuce, dated December 31, says: "Articles in the llaytien papers contain furious threats against Thompson, minister of the United States to Hayti. Mary Americans have been arrested, both men and women. The American consulate is filled with refugees. Ilippolyte's army js marching on Port-au-Prince. In an interview Legitime said he would show no clemency for foreign ers who interfere with llaytien politics. Legitime said that he would shoot five hundred if necessary. The excitement hare is intense. The Americans at Port-au-Prince are in danger of their lives." In regard to tbs published report3 of ill feeling against Americans in Hayti on account of the Ifaytien Republic matter, Minister Preston 6tates that the reports ire unfounded. Ilesnys, however, that it is not certain that the little republic will pay Hie 200,000 to the United States government for demurrage, and that there may be a counter claim put in. Food for Consumptives. Snails, in the opinion of WilUoh, are equal in value to oysters. They are, he says, equally nourishing and wholesome. On account of their gelatinous nature they have lately been much used in con sumptions; and as these complaints are now very frequent it were to be wished, says Medical Classics, that such patients wouiu give tne remedy a fair trial by boiling a dozen of the red garden snails every day in a quart of sweet milk or whey for half an hour, then straining the liquor through a coarso cloth and eirinjang it with sugar every mornin gradually upon an empty stomach, and repeating these draughts for a month or two if required, This red garden snail has also been used externally in the open hemorrhoids, where fresh 6nails were applied every two or three hours, in a raw state, with remarkable success. The large Roman or edible snail is re nowned lioth as a delicacy and on ac count of its reputed virtues as a remedy in cases of consumption, which it is 6aid nasn several instances been entirelv cured by a regimen of the mucilage from these snails. On the continent the Ro man snail is considered a great delicacy; but the garden and yellow banded snails are tho kinds uioro commonly eaten.

CASKETS FUKNI OFFIN 3 AND A COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF the Mississippi Regulators Take Farms of the Dead Men. Mkmpiiis, Tenn., Jan. 3. From a gentlainun jijst arrived from Mississippi itislimed that bands of self-stvled regulators' are still keeping up the search for darkies supposed to have been concerned in the Wahalak affair. With in the past two we?k' four negroes whom the "regulators have epoitcd havi been shot down without mercy, and their bodies buried where they fell. The merchants of the country haye be gun to write letters to Sheriff J. It. Key, at Dclvalb, intimating that it is time to stop the bloody work. All the negroes killed owned little farms, worth from $.j00 to $1,00. All of these farms have been relocated at DeKalb by white men. Thiu circumstance has aroused indigna tion among conservative) men here. 2L Roseubaum, a merchant of DeKalb, who passed through yesterday on his way to Wt, Louis, said: "."e can see now what all this fuss was about ft was simply a neighborhood row. They wanted these negro i' land, and they're got it." The "Block" System. The block system, as it is now termed in railroad parlance, is simply the divis ion of a railway into a certain number of what are called telegraphic districts, the distance between" which is determined by the amount of traflio, and each block station has pi-'naling instruments by which the signal man can communicate with the box on each side of him. Now, when a train enters any block, a sema phore signal is lowered, and no train is allowed to follow until the one in front has reached the end of the block, w hen the signal is raised and at the same time lowered for the block ahead, etc. The block systems in use in Europe and in the United States employ mechanical devices for lowering ana raising the out door signal; but these, it is thought, will eventually be replaced by automatic dV vices.

From some unknown and mysterious "source there comes to the streets of the Iron City tons upon tons of mud. It is carted away, washed away, scraped away, only to reappear and to grow in bulk as rapidly as did J onah's gourd. Known causes for this Increment are pof sufficient to ex- )lain the presence of these muddy ava anches. The debris of new buildings, the droppings from wagons, tho wash- ujgs nvm uijjutT porxions or me city; these do not wholly account for the perennially gathering deposits.
