It was a rollicking1 festiv itv, held at the house of a wealthy tobacco - p 1 an t er, llTT . -:r.A who was giving away his last and youngest daughter to a fresh, manly-looking young fellow, who was, as usual, a second, cr third cousin: for your true Virgin ian never marries "out of the family,"' and every planter in South Kentucky was a Virginian, of course. Amidst the merry crowd, I very soon made out the tall, lank figure of my friend Jack, whom I had not met for several years. Indeed it would be difficult to mistake him in any crowd, for he wsis as lean and as s-harp as a rail-splinter, with his beak-like nose, and projecting chin. There was about him, too, the decided, haughty carriage of the high blooded animal, and with his head thrown back in a hearty, fox-hunting guffaw, there was something indescribably keen, game, and dashing in his appearance. As I cvpocted, when I approached him I found him in the midst of a glowing description of his last run with his dogs, and closely surrounded by an eager audience of young men, for Jack was no great hand with the women. - "Spot" had just seized a big "ton prong" buck on the bound, by the throat, and brought him to his knees, when Jack caught my eye. The names c( "Music," "Sound" and "Kattler" died away on this tongue in thick coming utterance, as he stared at me for a moment of doubtful recognit'on. "Helloa! Charlie W.! by old Hell Mouth!" (Jack always swore by his favorite slow-track dog, HellrMouth, who never gave tongue on a false trail.) "Why, my boy, how are you? Just in time the bucks are just in the 'blue.' The dogs are as lean as I am, and as fierce as starved tigers for a chase!" "I'm your man! but lean as you are. Jack, why, you make them carry weight in a high wind, don't you? Uhid to see 3'ou, by my faith! They say you've got the finest pack west of the Allcghanies, now!" "West of the Alleghanies! Pshaw! man, nothing to equal them on top of the sod! Twenty-live, all told, with throats like the trump of resurrection! When they open in full blast they make the hills skip like young lambs and the trees bend before the sound, like in a hurricane! I trll you, they make the Mississippi walk upstream, and the catfish stand straight up on their tails, out of the water, to listen to them." "That'll do. Jack! When do you go back hoaieV" "Start -in the morning you'll be a 1 ready? Won't let .you off under three weeks. We have the cream of the hunting season now?" "Won't promise frall that time but I will bj ready for 3-ou in the morning!" "That's a good boy! bring nothing but your rifle if yii want birds, 1 have guns enough, and Ponto's nose is as keen as a brier!" A two days' ride through the wild and picturesque "llarrcns" brought us to the banks of the Mississippi river. Here we entered upon a long deep stretch of land, covered with the most tremendous forest I ever saw. It ex tended from Columbu, or the "Iron Hanks" as they are called, up some thirty miles, nearly parallel with Ihe present course of the Mississippi though greatly elevated above the present bottom. From seven to ten miles in width, this singular tongue of land was without a single inhab itant, except the settlement of the N.'s, about a mile from Columbus though composing some of the riehest land of the stale from the fact of its being an old military reserve, and covered, as Jack said, "s'x deep with titles." which had Milliced to keep at bay even the unscrupulous squatters so that it was lit erally given over to the pos session of wild animals, and con stituted the greatest hunting-ground within huudiedsof miles. Here the N "s who were wealthy and aristocratic "Old Dominion" stock had opened a large plantation, immediately upon the river bank, where it descended .100 feet perpendic ularly to the water. From the portico of the Mansion house placed upon this lofty perch, von could command a clear view of the majestic river, to its junction with the Ohio, thirty miles above. This was no insignificant sight, you may rest assured, with sometimes twenty steamboats in view at a time. uch a hullaballoo as gieeted us when we alighted at the gate! The hounds had first discovered us, and to the shout of their master gave us a reverberating echo. Then the pica uiunies cams pouring in sooty legions out of the cabins of the exteusive "quarter" which flanked the mansion in the hick-ground their black, shiny faces stretched in yells and grins ex hibiting an ivory ecstasy of delight at the return of "Massa Jack" while the hounds nearly tumbled us into the dirt, with their rude gambols. In a moment the whole plantation seemed alive, and Jack's favorite hunter Lara, which had the freedom of the yard, came prancing into the meiee. The ladies of the hospitable man sion met us at the door, and I was greeted with that gentle and high bred frankness for w hich the true Virginia woman has always been if. ted which has that indescribably motherly an i sisterly something' in it, which makes the stranger feel at once that he has found home. After his mother and three lovely young sisters. Jack's next greeting was to his mulatto foster-mother, who fctcod with a loving and humble smile upon her good-looking face, in the back-ground, along with her son, Jack's foster-brother and body ser vant. Cato. Then to supper. Ah! that delicious supper! the fresh, juicy venison, the cakes of gr.i'.e:! green corn, kneaded in i s oin sweet milk by some mysterious roecs. known only to V.rginia women an I coffee was a re distillation of nectar, thickened with roldcn cream! Then to bed. Cato roused us, with the dawn; and we went out to sec the dogs fed, preparatory to the morning hunt. It wa. indeed, a magnificent pack, such as 1 had never seen before. Twelve of them were of the same family, and of great size and power, standing verv high upon their legs, and marked with great uniformity with black spots upon a pure white ground. "Spot," the sire and leader of this noble group, was of a pure white body, with a single black spot in the center of his forehead from which he took his name. lie was a most pow erful animal, and able to cope with the largest back, alone. He was a stag-hound, carefully crossed upon the short-legged and long-bcdicd fox hound. "Music" the dam was a fox-hound of the "true Sp-irtan breed." with a voice like a distant alarm-bell; while the organ of old "Spot" was as sonor ous as the boom of "old ocean" against hollow cliffs. Hat. among them all, my eye in stantly detected a magnificent crea ture a black tr.n hound, that to me rfMKY-TiiinUfN IP seemed absolutely perfect, as a speci men of canine symmetry. His coat was as fine as the most glossy silk; from his head, which was pointed like a serpent's, his fine, broad and thin cars, with their great swelling veins, depended more than an inch below the tip of his nose. His neck, like a j-oung stag's; his chest, barrel-ribbed and deep as a panther's; his loins, as clean as a gray-hound's, with abroad, strong back; limbs that seemed to have been hammered by some wondrous skill out of fine steel; and such . a voice! bugles, clarions, cymbals, bells, winds, waters, echoes, mingled, clashing, rolling, roaring, in one tide of rushing sound; altogether, they were nothing to that voice! 'No where, nor nothing!" as1 Jack ex claimed, "to the voice of 'Hlack Ter ror' and 'Smile,'" as he named a beau tiful tan slut of smaller size, which stood beside this noble animal. The historv" of this splendid couple was a singular one, as Jack gave it to me on the spot He was sitting in the portico one morning, looking out over the river, which was very much swollen and filled with drift-wood. He observed some strange, black objects, which seemed to be struggling with the cur rent. He called to Cato for his spy glass, and saw at once that they were two animals of some sort, which were trying hard to climb upon the drift wood in the middle of the mighty stream. Here was an adventure, at any rate; and, followed by Cato, Jack descended the steep bank of the river. When he reached the water, he found fiat his boat had been torn away by the cur rent. Jack was staggered but for a moment, when the low plaintive howl of a hound reached him across the waters. It was a terrible venture; but Jack's coat was off in a minute, and. looking round at Cato, he only heard him say, "Go in, Massa 'Jack, I'm here," when he plunged into the turbid current, followed by the brave boy. Jack said that, if it had been a man's voice, it euuld not have "hurt him"' more than the sound of that 'hound's plaintive howl After having nearly lot their lives, they succeeded in bringing in tw. hounds, which weie coupled together by a chain, to shore, some four miles below, by the help bf the drift-wood, -rV Jfc tcvStffcrlW-f :P? Yjs i, UJ jJT'i?--?. . MV H. Pf W mji . n , -i.e4 mt&t, J? (ir x &- mf0Pwm iiinn: m: omi! cisack! which the.' pushed before them. The poor animals were nearly exhausted, and had probably been in the water for many hours. Jack vowed that a whole plantation couldn't' buy them. They had probably fallen from -ome steamboat, and had got caught by their chain to the drift-wood, which had prevented them from swimming ashore The whole kenn 1 was fed upon bread exclusively, durinir the hunting season, and were never permitted to touch an 3' meat except what they themselves killed. This kept them in fine bottom and wind for running, and made them very savage. A delicious breakfast is rapidly dis patched, the horn is sounded, and we are off for our stands in the deep forest. Cato, who "drives," turns to the left, at the corner of the plantation, followed by the whole pack, while wo follow a bridle-path leading straight ahead, into the depths of the forest. In a half-a-mile I am stationed just on the verge of the "old bank," as ;t is called, of til-' liver, with tlu deep forest, through which Cato is driving, on my left, and. on tin- right, after a sheer descent of twentj feet, a tre mndw.is swamp, wh'ch was now dry, except wh. re traversed by dee- lagoons liUed with quicksands. Jack rode on a half mile farther to his stand M3 instructions were, not to let the hounds pass my stand, if I missed the deer, which would attempt to get l3' me into the almost impenetrable swamps, where, if the dogs followed him. they would be lost for the re mainder of the day. I had not long to wait; for I could just begin to hear my heart beat in the restored silence, anl a neighbor ing squirrel had 011I3' just commenced barking at me. when a low and dis tant bay, followed b3 a faint w.hoop, showed that a tiail had been struck, (iradually the sound gathcied. as voice after voice joined in. until at last the thunder bass of old Snot boomed out, and old Music followed with a blast: and now the clashing clangor of H'ack Terror's tongue led off the bursting symphon3', and the forest rang to reverberations which startled the heart into my very throat. Peal on peal, and now a sudden silence m3" blood is running like mill-tails throujrh the swollen veins, and the arteries throb almost to bursting. Crash! there it goes again! Heavens! what music! How the leaves ilutter, and the trees sway to iny vision! "Whoop!" in a smothered gasp. If I could only 3-e!l! Here they come; I wonder the forest isn't leveled before the mighty roll of sound! Ha! lost, again! Nc! it is only imifiled as they go down some valley! Now thev rise again! Te gods! if I could 011I3 give one 3'ell! How it deafens! f he3 must be right upon me! the3' will be running over me, deer, dogs and all! I am no Actaon! Oh, hurricanes, and thunder-claps hist! hero he comes! and out bounded, within ten feet of me, a tremendous back, with his mighty antlers, like forest trees, thrown back upon his rump. He has paused an instant. Craek! awaj- with one prodigious bound, he clears the twenty feet of bank, and is crashing through Jthc swamp. What a roar! here they are! bristles tip, tongu?s out, Hlack Terror ten paces ahead. Spot next, then Music, anil all the rest in a crowd. 1-oking savage as harried wolss. You miirht as well talk of storing the Missis sippi they have s'lielt tho blood what a terrific burst! Hi-icl: Terror's leap is as long as th bu.'k's! Old Spot roars again! Tho are out of sight! That's Jack's veil. Hark! his horse's feet, already! He is coming, furious, because 1 did not stop the buck! And furious he was, sure enough! I began to exclaim at the top of m3 oice, before he ca r.e in sirht, but it was of no use. He cones clattering up, and ncarl3' rides me down. "WI13- the deuca didn't you stop that deer! Arc the dogs gone? ISlack Terror will never stop. Confusion, man! were 3-011 asleep?" "He was as big as an elephant. Jack. Here's plentv of blood," said I, trying to appear cool, and pointing to the ground, with nry gun, "hi's done for! ' Jack sprang to his feet and ex amined the signs "Oh, thunder! 3011 have shot him too far back, and through the loins; he will take to the river what a track! It must be the 'big buck.' I shall lose Hlacv Terror! Come ahead, and let's cut him off before he gets there, if we kill our horses!" And away he dashed through the woods. I followed as fast as possible, and such a ride as that was! Through vine-matted thickets, over dead trees, leaping at break-neck speed the wide lagoons, away! away! wc clattered, foaming through the dense swamp like wild men possessed of demons. At length we burst upon open ground, and Jack gave a yell that would have waked the dead. "Too late! too late! the I5ig Buck by old Hell-Mouth! he'll take the river' Jack's yell had slightly startled the buck, which was making for the river, along the hank of a wide lagoon. He turned sharp and attempted to leap the lagoon, he disappears ort tve rush, at mad speed but Jack knows what he is about, and his horse too while my mare leaps. Plump", we land in the middle of the lagoon, fol lowed b3' a roar of laughter from Jack. "Next timet shoot farther forward, if j'ou pleasejold U03-!" But it was no joking mitter for me wc had landed in a quicksand. I looked around with an expression of terror at Jack, for I felt my mara sinking under me. "Catch that limb above you," shouted he. and tie your bridle to it, or 3'ou will both go under. There was no time for mincing matters. 1 let go my gun, which sunk out of my sight forever. Rising in my saddle, with a desperate effort I reached the stout limb of a bending cotton-wood tree, which I dragged down, and to which I managed to se cure nvy bridle by a skrong knot. I succeeded finali3 by the aid of the cotton-wood, in reaching the bank, and by this time, when I looked back, I found that ir.3' poor mare had sunk nearly u to -her eyes. I now looked round, and saw Jack, busy enough, between beating off the dogs and attempting to secure the buck, which had stuck fast also in the quicksand. He succeeded in throwing a rope about his horns, and when the "driver" came up, we dragged it out at our leisure, after having rescued 1113- poor "Celeste," which from hang ing so long 13 her head-stall, "had grown quite black in the face. The buck was a prodigious animal, and had several times before been chased l3 Jack, when it alwa3's took to the river, and had thus lost him several fine hounds. .' Aiul:t!nian HuIU. The bulls used for fighting pur poses are a special' selected, spec-iall3'-cared-for class. They are all pedigreed. Andalusia is especiallj' tho district of tho bull. Here, at tho age of ono j'car tho j'oung bulls arc separated from the heifers branded with the owner's mark, and turned out loose on the plains to graze with others of their own age. When a 3-ear older the young bulls are gathered together in order that their mettle and fighting qualities ma3' he tested. Ono of them is sep arated from the herd and chased 03 a man on horseback, who, bj' tho skillful use of a blunted lance, over throws the escaping bull, whereupon another rider comes in front of the animal with a sharper lance to with stand the expected attack. If the bull, on regaining his feet, attacks the rider twice it is passed as a fighting animal; but if ho turns tail and runs off, then it is set aside to be killed or to be used in agricultural work. And so with each animal, until the whole herd 01 2-3-car-olds have been tested. Kacli bull that has stood the test successfully is then entered in the herd book, with a do scripti n of its appearance, receives a name such as Kspartero, llamen co, and the like. This process of careTul selection goes on from year to year until the bull is 5 jcars old, when, should its mettlo still prove true, it is ready for the arena, and llaming posters appear on the walls of Madrid or Seville announcing that Kspartero (or whatever his name is) will on such and such a date make his first and final appearance.

Then the comparath e density of Schihal lion to water was ascertained, and that of earth to wafer being known as about live and a half to one,it was not hard to calculate the rest, know ing the cubical contents of the earth.

The accounts given by tile pil grims of tho waj in which cholera attacked them arc terriblo in their grim fatalism, says tho London Spec tator. June 21, 1S93, two days before tho Courban Bairara, up ward Of 100,000 Mussulmans, Arabs, Turks and Indians had cathorod on tho sacred mount to hear the solemn address which is delivered to thoso who wish to bo corae hadji. Man3' of these peoplo were in the most wretched condition and some, had not even a loaf of bread. It was hero that tho disease ap pears to have struck them, like tho blast of a poisoned wind. When next day tho onward movement to tho holy city began it was found that the ground was strewn liko a battle field with the dead and dying, and so ter ribly virulent was the t3pe of infec tion thus engendered that it was,sa3s the account, impossible for any liv ing creature to approach tho place. The authorities seom, however, to have realized that something must be done, and that tho bodies could not bo left to rot According a Turkish regiment was sent to per form the work of burial and to re move an3r of tho pilgrims who still lived. Never did troops in tho heat of battle receive a command more fraught with peril. The risk, as it proved was literally greater than that of facing machine guns, and tho moral effect was far more terrible. There are ten men who will faco death by bullets to ono who will faco death by cholera. Yet theso Turkish sol diers, with tho fatalistic courage of their race, obeyed as they obe3'ed at Plevna. The battalion, when it reached tho mount, was 700 strong. After the work had been done 200 men only remained to go back to the coa-t. Five hundred of tho soldiers had died of cholera. That is, nearly three-quarters of the regiment perished in tho work of burial. No doubt English troops would have been upheld b3r man3' considerations b3' religious feeling and by tho instinct of incrcj', and they would, moreover, havo been well fed. The Turkish troops probably felt the sense of pity very littlo, and their officers were almost certainly men with :ui3thing but a high sense of conduct. They acted morcly from tho most naked sense of tho dut3 of not flinching at a command. It was an order given from afar and from above, and that and fate are to them all one. FATAL TRAMP. Oeath Crow:i4 a Wom-ui's Walk Acrms the Continent. After a walk of 21,-j00 miles from San Francisco to Montreal, Mnie. Lcda I.avallc lies in a cot in tho Notre Dame hospital, in the latter cit3 dying from the hardships suffered during her unprecedented tramp. She reached Montreal after having been several months on the road, and was picked upon the wharf in an unconscious condition. She was worn to a shauoir and so weak that she could not raise her wasted arm from the coverlet of her bed in the hospital. Twelve -cars ago she emigrated from Montreal to San Francisco with her husband, sa3's the Cincinnati Enquirer. They had three children, and managed to eke out a bare liv ing. A year ago her husband died, and then her three children were carried off hy small-pox. Friendless and without mone3', she determined to return to Montreal, where she was born, if onh' to die theie. With a horse and buggy she started out, de pending on the charity of the people she met for food. After traveling 70) miles her horse gave out and she had to sell it for 20. She then started bravely out on foot, tramping from town to town. Mie suffered greatly- from hunger, cold and weakness. Sometimes for a day she would be without food. Her boots wore worn out and she had to tie strips of her dro-s around her feet, but still she tramped on Once in a while a friendly man would give her a lift, and several times train hands permitted her to i ido on freight trains. Some inw lit tle trinkets she ha I wore sold to buy food, hut generally she begged from door to door. Often sho slept by the roadside when night came on and there was no farm house near. She reached Detroit almost dead and rested several (lays in an insti tution there, after which she resumed her weary tramp. Next night sho slept at l'aquette's hotel, a few miles out of Montreal, but insisted upon starting again in the morning, sa3' ing she had a pilgrimage to perform. "Le bon Dicu favors me," said she, wearily in the hospital, "since he permits me to die among iny friends. " Mine.

Growing Flax for Jts Fiber.

Mason, United States consul general at Frank fort, advises American farmers to pre pare Uax fiber and send some to Ger many for trial. To do this flax must be soon quite thickly, the thin seeding re quired in growing llax for seed produc ing a coarse fiber only tit to be used in the manufacture of the coarcst kinds of cloth and for sacks and bags. Ger many, in 1SD2, imported G0.G91 tons of flax fiber, of which r5,4"51 tons, or eleven-twelfths of the whole, was from Russia. Flax is very largely grown in the west for its seed. Whether it will pay better to grow the flax for its fiber can only be determined by experiment. A Cute Old Bachelor. An old bachelor who just died in Paris in a house in the Houlcvard Kichnrd l.anoir, at the age of S7 years, hit upon an original idea of insuring proper attention from his servants in his de clining yeare. Twelve ears ago, say's the London Daily News, he went to his lawyer and made a will, under which he left his two women servants an annuity of S120 each, to be increased b3 20 for every- year he should con tinue to live. The will has just been proved and the legacies have been allowed at the rate of SI 10 a year each. The old man was in the habit of makin" "rcat fun out of the motherly- care with which he was looked after. "You may be quite sure," he would say, "that they will not let me die soon if they-can help it" He seemed to have overlooked the fact that it was clearly not to the interest of the women that he should survive them. Hair Dressing. Harper's Itazar: Full waving tresses drawn back in a very simple knot that projects slightly- at the crown make up the coiffure most affected at present. The hair is parted down the middle when becoming, that is, when it is very thickly set above a low and broad ("rcek forehcad. Otherwise it is carried back and upward in a soft wave roll and the high forehead is softened by a fringe net not heavy enough to be called a bang, or b3' a single curl down the mid dle, with slighter curving tresses on the sides. A jeweled hairpin, or one of filigree gold or silver in small comb shape, or forming a tin3 wreath, a wing, a pair of wings, or a fan is thrust in the coil at the back. The coronet front of the entire crown of jewels is worn b3' matrons. A cockade bow of light satin ribbon attached to a hairpin is very popular, either in wing shape or as a tiny cnou wiiu two poimeu enus springing from it State of Onio, City of Toledo, ) Lucas County, S TTll I !.

Iiuiiimiiicr of Telegraph Wires. Hoston Journal of Commerce; You 1 have all heard the humming of tele- 1 graph and telcdhane wires as 3-011 1 passed the poles along the streets. No doubt you have lonc'udcd that it is caused by the action of the wind on the I wires and given it no further thought, j Hut it is not true that the singing is caused by the wind, and if you arc at all observing vou will observe that oft- en the humming is hcird on cold win- ter mornings when the smoke from chimneys goes straight up until it is lo't in the clouds and when the frost on the w.rcs is as fuzzy ana tnicu as a roll of chenille fringe. The wind has nothing to do with the sound, and according to an Austrian scientist, the vibrations are due to the changes of atmospheric temperature, and especially tlnough the acton of cold, as a lowering of temperature in- duces a shortening of the wires extend- ' i::g ovM the whole of the conductor. .'. onsider.il lo amount of friction is produced on li.e sup;"ortin.r bells, thus :i'i;eing sjtinds, buiii on then ires and the po es. VTiit-n this huinm'ng has been going on bints have mistaken the sound for usects inside tho pole, and have been seen to pedc with their bills on the out ' side, as they do upon tho apple and other trees. The story is told of a bear that mistook the humininir as coming ; from a nest of bees, and clawed at the ! pole and tore .way the stones at its j ia.s-. in the hope of finding the much j i-OTeted honey.

Portland Argus: Lawsuits are to bo avoided by all honorable means. Nine times in ten the result is satisfactory to i neither side. A Portland lawyer says that not long ago a man came into his office thor oughly angry, as men usually are wheh thej- go on such errands. II had called upon a debtor and asked him politely for a bill of S2.50; and had been abused for his pains. Now he wanted the lawyer to collect iL The lawyer demurred. The airidunt was too trifling. It would cost the whqle of it to colIe2t it "No matter," said the client. "I don't care if I don't jret a cent, so loW as that fellow has to pay it." 1 So the lawyer wrote the debtor a let ter and in due time the latter appeared in high dudgeon. He didn't owe any Si 50 and he wouldn't pa3' it- "Yer3 well." said the lawyer, "then my instructions are to sue. But I hardl3' think it will pay you to stand a suit for so small a sum." 'Who'll get the money if I pay it?" asked the man. The law3'cr was obliged to that he should. confess "Oh, well," said the debtor, "that's another matter. If Mr. isn't going to get it 1 am perfectly willing to pay it" The debt was paid, the lawyer pock- ' etcd the amount, and. what is very un- usual, all parties to the suit were per fectly satisfied.

Who (loeft in First at Dinner? Who goes in first at dinner is a moot ed question of vital importance to din ner givers. The ideal hostess will pair ' 1,er Sests a? carefully as she will con- coct a pudding. She is careful not to send two old friends together, nor yet two intimate enemies. Once at a din ner party in New Orleans a well known woman was sent out with her own brother-in-law. Dullness could not have gone but a step further. In send ing people to the table the precedence should be given, where there is no es pecial guest, to age, to brains and beauty in the order named. Hcauty nevor gets offended at being last, for wherever it is there floats the royal standard. Slilloh's Consumption Cnro ThmIiI on a RiianintM.
