The tenth census, “like a wounded snake, drags its wearied length along.’’ Thirteen large volumes have been pub lished, and others are going thfoilgh the press, while a number of Other reports remain unpublished, including those by J. it. Dodge, the statistician of the agri cultural department, on fruits and or chards, sheep-husbandry and wool-grow ing and hop culture. Leprosy is declared by the Lansing (Iowa) Mirror to exist to a considerable extent among the colony of Scandinavians from Northern Norway, now settled near the village of Spring Grove, in Houston county, Minn. Doctors who have exam ined the subjects, who are in three or four different families (but are related), are said to have pronounced the malady undoubtedly leprosy. Joseph Arch, who commenced a move ment in favor of elevating the condition of farm laborers in England some twenty years ago, has been elected to parliament from the northwestern district of Norfolk county. His opponent was Lord Henry Bentinck. The business of Mr. Arch was that of setting out and trimming hedges, but he obtained a national reputation as founder of the agricultural laborers’ un ion. Farm laborers in this country are not elected to Congress, or even to State legislatures. A correspondent of the New Orleans Medical <md Surgical Journal tells of a re markable result of the use of steam as a disinfectant of ships. The vessel to be treated was made tight fore and aft, and the steam turned on for the requisite time. The hold was found to be in good condition after the cleansing, and the disinfectors entered the cabin. But they discovered that the fine furniture and cabin work had fallen apart and lay in a comprehensive heap on the floor. The steam had melted the glue. Ex-President Arthur suffers from in somnia. Until recently he has been in the habit of trying to read himself to sleep when in bed. “But not very long ago,” says Harper's Weekly , “having placed a pitcher of ice water beside him on retiring, he awoke to find that he had unconciously upset the pitcher and emp tied its chilling contents upon the bed.” The incident has caused him to break the habit of reading in bed, lest some time he should upset an oil lamp in a similar manner. It will be remembered that a novel fea ture of the New Orleans exposition was the exhibits which the colored people as a race were invited to offer for the purpose of showing their progress in industries, education, art, etc. The experiment proved only fairly successful in the dis play then made, but it has borne valua ble fruit in arousing interest in similar undertakings. As proof of this the New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “Excited by the exposition, Mississippi held a col ored fair a few months ago, which was a thorough succeA; Tennessee has just opened another at Nashville; South Caro lina will soon follow suit, and it seems highly probable that every Southern State will, sooner or later, have its col ored exposition.” We agree with our Southern contemporary, says the New York Herald, that these are encouraging signs which betoken substantial benefits to the colored people jand useful results to the community at large. It is curious to look over the educa tional records as given by the Congress men, says the Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Leader. Bragg says he was educated a lawyer; Smalls, of South Carolina, was self-educated, and Houk, of Tennessee, educated himself while working at the cabinet makers’ trade, and by reading by firelight at night. Judge Kelley got his education as a printer and proof-reader, and General Grosvenor was trained in a country log school-house. Pulitzer, the New York editor, had a private tutor; Hepburn, of lowa, was educated in the common schools and the printing office; Oates was self-educated, and Taulbee and Boutelle had pri vate schools. One hundred and sixty four of the members of the present House have had collegiate or academic educa tions, and eighty put themselves down as having been trained at the common schools. The majority of collegiate-bred men come from small country colleges, academies and seminaries, and many of them states that they have grad uated at some noted law school, such as Harvard, Ann Arbor or New York. Har vard has seven college graduates, Prince ton, four; the University of Virginia, four; Bowdoin, two; Dartmouth, four; Union, three; Yale, two; Amherst, two; Brown, two; Ann Arbor, five; Jefferson, two; Franklin, two, and numerous other colleges one. “A.

A FAWN THE PRIZE. A FIGHT BETWEEN A GRIZZLY AND CALI FORNIA LIONS. Undoubtedly the grizzly bear is a grass feeder. Although his main source of food is roots, herbs, acorns and such nuts as are to be met with in the countries through which he ranges, he neverthe less greedily devours the carcasses of any dead animals that fall in his way. No doubt the so-called “monarch of the Sierras” is often very meat-hungry. By stratagem he may sometimes capture small animals, but he is too slow and clumsy to overtake deer, elk or antelope, unless he shall happen to come upon these animals when they are badly wounded. Mountain men have often wondered how the grizzly bear manages to subsist at that season of the year when there are no berries, and but few pine or other nuts to be found. That the “mon arch” is not above highway, or rather, high Sierra robbery, will be seen by what is recorded of him in the following sketch: In October last, in company with a West Virginian named Richards, I went up into the high Sierras for a two weeks’ hunt. We went to hunt deer, but were well prepared to encounter a grizzly bear or anything else shootable that might come in our way. We had with us a mule on which to pack our blankets, provisions and camp utensils, which latter Richards, for some reason unknown to me, always called the “herring fixin’s.” We led a regular camp life, which was a reminder of our old prospecting days. Richards declared that this was almost good enough without hunting, but com bined with hunting it was the next thing to being in heaven. As Richards can play on no instrument except the jewsharp, he was probably much more at home up in the mountains than he will be when he pitches his tent in the New Jerusalem. After spending a few days in the neighborhood of Hope Valley, we struck in West of Lake Tahoe, among the trib utaries of the American river. This is a region justly celebrated among hunters. Along the creeks, about the springs, and in the great dark canons, are to be found deer, grizzly and cinnamon bears, Cali fornia lions, lynxes, and many smaUer animals. The day after we made camp in the new place Richards was unable to go out with me, he having sprained his ankle the evening before in leaping across a small stream,therefore I struck out alone. I traveled for nearly three hours with out seeing any game larger than a grouse or a woodchuck, when I came to a large and deep canon that led down toward the American river. Along this eanon were many lateral ravines and gulches, bor dering which were numerous small steep valleys. In one of these dingles I pres ently saw among some low bushes a he of four or five deer, all quietly feeding. By descending the elope of the mountain a few rods to a line or ledge of roeks that projected from the side of the canon I saw that I could get as near to the bend as I cared to be—even nearer—for I would not again come out in sight of the deer until at the edpe of the vale in which they were feeding. Moving cautiously along the edge of the ledge of rocks, which formed a sort of terrace on the side of the cannon, and carefully avoiding the starting of lose atones down the precipitous elope. I at ELLIJAY, GA.. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1880. last reached the bank of the little ravine on which Was situated, some thirty feet below me, the dell wherein were the deer. I not only had the shelter of the ledge of rock several feet in heighth, but also that of several small trees that stood on the bank of the ravine and grew out from among the lower rocks. With my Winchester in my hand, I peered around the corner of my sheltering rock and saw the deer still feeding, and only about fifty yards away. Among them was a noble buck. His antlers spread like the branches of an aged ce dar. He stood facing me. I could sec every wink of- his eyes, I raised mv rifle, aimed at the centre of his forehead, and was just pressing my finger to the trigger, when he suddenly wheeled about, gave a snort and bounded away, followed by all the ethers of the herd. Before I had time to even conjecture what had frightened the animals—indeed simultaneously with their first bounds— a large California lion darted from a clump of bushes, leaped upon the neck of a tawn that was in the rear of the herd and dragged it to tho ground. The fawn gave one or two piteous bleats, When the teeth of the lion rent its jugu lar and silenced it forever. Being unable to see the animals dis tinctly when they were on the ground, on account of a patch of bushes two or three feet in height, I climbed to the top of the ledge of rock, which was about ten feet high. I was now after the lion. When I reached the top of the rock he was in plain sight. He was tearing at tho neck of the prostrate fawn. I was about to move a little further up the ledge in order to get a shot at the lion’s fore parts, when a large grizzly burst out of a patch of chaparral on the opposide side of the little valley. With a snort and a growl lie made at the iion. The new arrival rendered the situation somewhnt complicated, and I lowered my rifle, concluding to await further develop ments. When the bear came up the lion re treated a few paces, and then stood snarl ing and lashing its sides with an angry tail. The bear—which was evidently very hungry—paid no attention to the lion, but at once began gnawing at the neck of the fawn. I supposed this was the end of the af fair between the two animals, and was beginning to thing of putting a bullet or two into the grizzly. This I might have safely done from my perch upon the rock, and with two or three trees at hand which I.co"Id easily climb should the bear at tempt#!** scale the lodge. Rut whilel was sqill considering the chances I ob served the lion flatten itself to the ground and swiftly glide round 1 behind the bear. Suddenly—like a flash of yellow light ning—the lion bounded through the air and landed on the back of the bear’s neck, raking him over the face and eyes with its sharp claws. The bear gave a snort of pain and rage, stopped eating, and for a time stood— or rather sat up—on the defensive. While the bear was thus on guard, ready to strike out with his huge paws, the lion stood off snarling and lashing its sides with its tail; but the moment he attempt ed to resume his meal the lion quickly circled about and again landed on his back—bounding away, however, as soon as tho bear began striking at him. The fight had now become so interesting that I determined to await the result. The at tacks of the lion were evidently far from painless to tho bear. He bawled lustily under the sharp claws of his agile enemy. He soon grew cautions, and, hungry as he was, endeavored to keep his head con stantly turned toward the lion. This the clumsy beast was unable to do, as the lion circled about him very swiftly, and crept so low as to be continually ready for a spring. Beside, while the bear was turning in one direction his more nimble antagonist would suddenly whirl about, circle in the opposite way, and make his leap; and at each leap he made the fur fly at a lively rate. When the bear stopped eating and stood on his guard the lion stood off and snarled, but the moment he put his nose to the fawn his alert foe was upon him. Finally the bear gave up trying to eat, and lay down by the carcass, twisting himself into such a position that he had the use of both of his paws. Had the lion then leaped upon the bear he would have found himself in a death hug. The battle now seemed to be a sort of tie or draw. Neither animal could touch the prize over which they were contending. Matters were at this pass for nearly five minutes, when the lion elevated his head and gave two or three shrill screams. A fierce answering cry came from across the main canon, and soon another lion came bounding up the ravine into the little valley. The bear noted this accession to the force of the enemy, and arose and seated himself upon his haunches in box ing attitude. The two lions then began circling about the bear, by turns dart ing upon him, raking him with their claws, and then bounding away. It re minded me of two cat-birds persecuting an owl. Presently, while the bear was wheeling about to strike at one of the lions, the, other made a rush and dragged away thei carcass of the fawn. He was hauling it' off toward the bottom of the big canon, i some fifty yards away, before the bear had recovered from his surprise. Even when he comprehended what had hap pened the bear did not dare to at once goi to recover the carcass, as the lion that re- 1 mained behind still circled around him, crouching cat-like, and threatening to' ■pri n R- . In a short time, however, this lion also left and went down into the canon, the bottom of whioh I could not see from my perch on the ledge. The bear looked, thoroughly beaten, and, as I thought, not a little ashamed of himself. He sniffed about the ground where the carcase of the fawn had lain for a time; then, ele vating his nose, snuffed the air in the direction of the CAnon, whither the two 1 lictas had gone with the prize. This prize he had held Just long euough to fairly arouse his appetite. After snumng the air and lieking his chops for a time the' old fellow moved slowly toward the canori. He did not advance as if he were going to awake the battle anew. Both spirit and flesh seemed weak. When within about twenty yards of the bottom of the canon he sauntered out upon a point of rock, sat upon his haunches ana looked down toward where the two lions were feasting. There on the rock he sat for so long a time—twisting about on his haunches, snuffing the air and licking his chops— that I became satisfied that he would not renew the Contest. As he sat there, wrinkling and twisting his nose, the mark he offered me was too tempting to be resisted; beside, he was liable at any moment to drop down upon all fours and make off. I leveled my rifle for his heart,- and at its crack the great beast pitched headlong into the canyon and rolled to the bottom, causing a great crashing of chaparral and carrying with him about a cart-load of loose rocks. The sudden apparition of the bear Coming in such a headlong and tumultu ous manner evidently took the two lions by surprise, find for the moment demor alized them. Bo.tli. founded into sight on the Opposite side of tho canon, and did not halt Until they Were ten yards above its bed. Evidently the animals had not observed the crack of my rifle, or if they had ob served it they probably connected the re port with the impetuous charge of the bear, for soon one of them leaped upon a bowlder and began stretching his neck and peering back into the canon where the bear had fallen. As he thus stood he afforded a fine mhrk, and, taking careful aim, I brought him down. This time the remaining’ lion undoubt edly heard the report of my gun, and comprehended the danger of its position, fur it bounded away down along the rocky slope of the canon, and I saw it no more. Descending into the canon I found the bear lying across the carcass of the fawn. I built a fire, before which, on sticks, I placed to roast several venison steaks, while I employed myself in skinning the bear, cutting up the meat and hanging it out of the reach of foxes and coyotes on some alders, to be packed away the next day, when I expected that Richards' would be able to assist me. When I had taken the skin off the bear I did not much blame him for giving up the fight with the two Hons; indeed, I felt not a little efor tho poor old fellow, whose ger had made him endure so much. Their claws had scored him terribly. In several places, particularly about the shoulders, the cuts had gone quite through the skin into the flesh. In fact, the skin was so cut up that I preferred to pack home with me the skin of the lion—which was a large one—and leave that of the hear to take its chances along with the meat until the next day. Richards cursed his luck high and low when I returned to camp with the saddle of the fawn and the lion skin and told him what a spirited and remarkable fight I had witnessed. He declared that he would not have missed such a sight for SSOO in gold coin. Indeed, he became so excited that he forgot all about his sprained ankle, and “patroled” in front of me, when he could have heard my story quite as well by remaining seated. —Dan Be Quille, in Cincinnati Enquirer. Fierce Battle With a Back. Deer have not been so numerous for years in the Capon mountains as they are this season, says a letter from Romney, W. Va., to the New York Tribune. The most noted hunter in the State west of Moorefield is Gabriel Cooper, whose deeds have caused him to be known by his neighbors as Dan’l Boone. Dan’l keeps two dogs and a brown mare, and he knows every hog path and deer trail in West Virginia. With his trusty Win chester rifle he has brought down twenty eight deer this season. One day about a month ago Dan’l was visiting his traps on Lost river. A mile above where this river disappears in the earth is a bend where the stream is broad and deep. Dan’l keeps a little featherweight skiff in the bend for his private use. While sloshing up and down the bank of the river he startled a big buck with six prongs. The animal sprang from cover into the water and headed for the oppo site side. Dan’l leaped into his skiff, and a few powerful strokes brought him near ly alongside of the buck. His purpose was to secure him alive, but when within ten feet of him the buck turned about and swam stroight at the boat. The hunter, recognizing his peril, drew his sheath-knife and caught the creature by the horn as he made a vic'/ous lunge at the boat. Dan’l held on to the horn and the buck lunged and butted furiously. The hunter tried to get at its throat and in the effort the skiff upset and Dan’l and deer were left to fight their battle out in the water twelve feet deep. To escape from the maddened buck wps impossible, and instead of swimming from it the experienced woods man dived under the water and coming up by the buck’s side stabbed it in the belly again and again until he was forced to come to the surface himself for air. The wild plunges made by the wounded beast was terrific. The river was dyed red with blood for twenty feet around where the combat raged. As the hunter poked his nose above the surface to get air, the animal cut with its horn a long furrow in his side. It was the buck’s last expiring effort. With a gasp and a shivering moan it sank out of sight and the battle was ended.
