M, V. THEM, Pr © p’r. The Grizzly Will Ru«. The averago grizzly, says Mr. Roosevelt in the New York Sun, has but one idea when ho sees a man, and that is to get away; Even it will run wounded as quickly as a rabbit. when a great many bears absolutely refuse to tight, seeking refuge only in flight. Never theless, there nro plenty of grizzlies that will fight when cornered, and there are a very few which will take the offensive themselves without any particular pro¬ vocation. Personally I have never been charged but once, and this was by a grizzly which I had twice wounded and had approached late to within when forty yards of, one evening I Jyid strolled away from camp more with •;,© hope of knocking oft' the head of a -rouse than with the expectation of seeing any larger game. This bear came me most resolutely, nioked the although of one his oi heart my shots and point four although one of bullets which I put into him would have ultimately proved mortal. AU of the other bears I have killed started to run, or fell at the first fire, so that they It had no chance of unsafe showing fight. is, however, very for a man to generalize in uny kind or shooting, and particularly in bear shoot¬ ing, merely from his own experience. Thus, I know one gentleman, an officer of the United States army, who has killed six grizzlies, three of them charging him before they were wounded or even fired at. The incidents of the three charges were curiously alike; that is, he stumbled on the bear in each case at tolerably eloso quarters, at from ten to twenty yards away from him, and each time the instant the animal saw him it galloped toward him like a loco motive, well-placed only riflo to ball. be rolle^jijiiver by a V The grizzly is very tenacious of life, and so great are his vitality will and pugnacity that a fighting boar body ia fairly con¬ tinue charging when its riddled wirii bullets. A shot in the brain or spino will of course bring one down in its trucks, but. even a bullet through the heart will not prevent an enraged grizzly from making good it* chargo at close quarters.

Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven¬ tures Which Show that Truth Is Stranger than Fiction. The Kansas “wolf-drive” is a great in¬ stitution, for it satisfies the natural craving of man to kill something without exposing hitnsolf to danger, and it in therefore exceedingly popular. 1 In the townships and Crawford of Walnut, Sherman, Grant, wolves and foxes, which driven mnltiply alarmingly fast, have been by the severe cold this winter to acts of depredation surprising for their boldness and ferocity. The farmers have risen up and organized for the pur¬ pose of cleariug the country of tho four footed raiders. Upwards of 4,000 men engage in the wolf-drive, and thoy beat over a tract ten miles square. The affair is conducted with military exactness and discipline. in A general is chosen, and he and turn picks out his stuff* aud battalion company commanders. The signal for starting is a fusillade of shots tired by the leaders of each squad. With 1,000 men on each side of tho square there are 100 men to tho mile, or one at intervals of about fifty feet.

Only ^ * such of the hunters as firearms; are designated by the general carry the others are armed with clubs to prevent the beasts from escaping. A great number of wolves are often rounded up, and when the word is given they are picked off While by tho appointed sharp shooters. the “drive” is the oo casion for a good deal of fun, killing is the business of the day, and the best marksmen attend to this. A story of heroism is told umong the usually prosaio announcements of tho London Gazette in explanation of the ser¬ vices for which the Queen has conferred the decoration of the Albert medal of the second class on George Hoar, boatman of the Tynemouth Coastguard Station, On the occasion of the wreck of the schooner Peggy during a severe gale with a very heavy sea, after four men had been rescued from the wrock by means of the rocket apparatus, the Cap tain of tho Peggy informed the chief officer of the coastguard that there was another man still ou board the wreck in a disabled Hate, he having fallen out of the rigging ou to tho deck of the vessel iu attempting to go', into the breeches buoy.

Clothed only in a simple linen garment, the corpse rests on a slab of rock near a running stream, in a cavern of tho mountain on which the Es curial PalaCe is built, twenty-five miles from Madrid.
