Bushman Hunting the Ostrich. The bushmnn dlvcsta himself of nil tile encumbrances; water vessels, ford, cloak, assegai nnd sandals arc left be¬ hind. Armed only with his bow, ar¬ row* and knife, lie rets forth. Th' nearest ostrich, la feeding morn thnn a mile nwny, and there Is no covert but the long, enn-drled, yellow urn"*, Lot that is enough for th* bushmnn Worming himself over the ground with the greatest caution, ho cruwlc flat toward the bird. No serpent could traverse the grass with less disturb unco, in the spare of an hour and « ha't he hns approached within a hnn- *«lred yards of the tall bird. Nearer he dare not creep on this bare plain, and, at more than twenty-five paces, h • cannot trust his light, reetl arrows. He lies patiently hidden In the grass, his bow nnd arrow* ready In front of him, trusting that the ostrich may draw nearer. It Is a long wait under the blazing sun, close on two hours, but his in minrt serves him, and at last, as the Hun shlfia a little, the great ostrich feeds that way. It la it magnificent male bird, tot black as to Its bodv plumage and adorned with magnificent white feathers upon the wings and tall. Kwaueot's eyes glisten, but he ''taoves not a muscle. Closer nnd closer the ostrich approaches. Thirty pan ., twenty-five, twenty. There Is a sllgh' musical twang upon the hot air, nnd a tiny yellowish arrow Btirks well Inn the breast of the gigantic, bird, Th. ostrich feels a sharp pang anil turn at once, in that same Instant a sec¬ ond arrow is lodged In Its aide Just under the wing feathers, Now the stricken bird raises I1h wings from Its body and speeds forth Into the plain. But Kwancet Is tjulio content, The poison of those two arrows will do his work effectually. He gets up, follows the ostrich, tracking H after H has dp appeared from sight, by Its spoor, nnd In two hours the game lies here before him amid the grass, dead ns a stone.

Each wood rim roipWti s ‘J‘‘j feet boanl measure, and allowing one-third for waste, that would mean a consumption of (IjiOOgfiK) feet, almost exclusively rock elm. This Is far (h<- rltns alone, to say nothing of the guards nnd baudlo bars, but of the latter there Is another story, says the Lumberman. The consumption <*f «,OfiO/fi»r> feet or thereabout# of rot k elm does not look v'jcry largo In a business which Is ac¬ customed to deal with hundreds of mil¬ lions, but when It is remembered that only about 15 per cent, of hard maple Is available for rim purposes, aud that, therefore 40,000,000 feet of one of the minor hard woods must be handled over in order to obtain ibis nail' rial, Inc Importance of the bicycle demand In this special way will b ■ recognized. We spoke above of wooden handle liars. That Is to be the next thing in bicycles, according to authorities on the subject, Wood, principally hick- ory, perhaps n little ash, Is to be used Instead of Steel tubing, not because if any decrease in weight, hut because of the superior elasticity of the wood, making the wheels easier to ride and less fatiguing to the hands and arms. Furthermore, It will lie an advantage to the manufacturers, as bent tubing is a difficult article to manufacture, whereas hickory can be bent into any desired shape; and then again, tbQ new liars will be cheaper. There Ih no prospect of any less number of bl- cyclca being manufactured In (be near future than In the present or the past, and perhaps t .< m, 0<x> bicycles next year may be placed new upon the mar- ket. A coaslderablo portion of Ibom, it Is said, perhaps Iho majority, will have hickory bars made of second growth hickory. That Is another thing for the hard-wood men to take note of.

Mr. Stewart seized a rail, and for more than nu hour there was a run¬ ning fight between kltu and tho snake.

Ho Was Agent of Ihe XV. A A. Railroad. Another Prominent Merchant Is Arrested. Nearly all of Thursday and Friday in tho now celebrated ear robber cases at Dalton, On., was taken up in the trial of Captain T. J. Peeples, the agent of the Western aud Atlantic railroad at Dalton. Notwithstanding that Captain Peo¬ ples was ably defended, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Peeples ha* been the biggest game so far that the prosecution has brought down. IDs conviction created terror among the accused, who hove not yet been brought to trial. There was some doubt about getting twelve men with the courage to find him guilty. lie has the reputation of a fighter. The defense had tho jurors polled, but every one answered that it was his verdict. Judge Fite did not pass sen¬ tence. There may bo another ease against Peeples. It is rumored that I 10 may lie tried for recoivingstolen tobacco from Bohannon. The penalty in the ease already decided may he either a fine or imprisonment in the chaingang j or penitentiary. The recommenda- tjon leaves it to the judge to say whether it shall be punished as a mis- demeanor or as a felony. Captain Peeples has been agent of the Western anil Atlantic railroad in Dalton for five years. charged with buying Peeples was The a carpet from Walter Bohannon, latter said that lie sold it to Peeples and received the money for it. The defense attempted to impeach Bohan¬ non, lint tho jury believed him, and the citizens generally believed. Pee¬ ples was deserted by his two sons at the critical hour, and he had to rely for his defense wholly upon his own state¬ ment, and the evidence of a negro em¬ ployee. The defendant said that his son Drew, n member of the city coun¬ cil, had bought a carpet for him a year ago last summer in Chattanooga The father did not produce any receipt or memorandum of any kind to show where they got the carpet that ruined _ him. “ I'hero Aro Othttm.'* Anderson Giddings, a small mer- eliant of Tunnel Hill, pleaded guilty Friday to an indictment charging him with receiving stolen goods. Men- tence was deferred in his case, too. Tho case against Mack Cannon was called, but it was passed. Cannon's trial will probably last two days. This will be a sensational case. Bo¬ hannon says that Cannon often bought goods of him. There was one lot of clothing for which the Southern rail¬ way paid McTecr A- Co., of Knoxville, $1,200. Bohannon says that Cannon paid him $85 for the lot. Cannon is the wealthiest merchant in Dalton, and has the largest clothing trade in north Georgia. Everything is done in his w ife’s name. The store is known as the Baltimore Clothing House. NV. B, MeCarson, who runs a large store in North Dalton, was arrested Friday for dealing with Bohannon’s hand of robbers. The grand jury has been investiga¬ ting (1. C. Hemis, the father-in-law of Drew Peeples, who skipped. There is an indictment against one Buckholtz, who has a restaurant. Many l.n<lb*s l'roarnt.

Bohannon stat¬ ed that he did not think Arwood knew the bicycle'was stolen. Arwood said that ho did not know it, and on iliis testimony Judge Fite directed tho jury to acquit the young man. So he was really tried and acquitted within the ninety minutes that the Peeples jury was out. This was the first one to get off, and lip had pleaded guilty. NKNN YORK’S REGISTRATION.
