Hunting the Hippopotamus.???On the 17th of June, says Mr. Cumming, buying found a good drift I crossed the Limpopo with my wagons, and drew them up in a green end shady spot. I then rode a long way down the eastern baukin queatoi hippopotami, and late in the evening I found one, which I did not molest, trusting to find him the next day. On the 18th a dense mist hung overlths river all the morning. Ordering the wagons to fol low in an hour, I rode ahead to seek the sea- cow of the previous night, but after a long search I gave it np as a bad job, and, kind ling a fire to warm myself, awaited the wagons, which presently came up. Here I halted for two honrs, and then once more rode ahead to seek hippopotami. The river became more promising for sea-cows. At every turn there occurred deep, still pools, with occasional sandy islands densely clad with lofty reeds, and yvitb banks covered with reeds to a breadth of thirty yards. Above and beyond these reeds stood trees of im mense age and gigantie size, beneath which grewaloDg and very rank description of grass, on wnicb the sea-cow delights to pas ture. ' 1 soon fonnd fresh spoor, and after holding on for several miles, just as the sun was go ing down, and as J entcredadensereed cover, 1 came upon the fresh lairs of four hippopo tami. They had been lying sleeping on the S ' i of the river, sod, on hearing mo come ng through the reeds, had plunged in to the deep water. I at once ascertained they were newly started, for the froth and bub bles were still on the spot where they bed plunged in. Next moment I heard them blowing a little way down the river. 1 then headed them, and with considerable diffl cully, owing to the cover end the reeds, ai length came right down above where they were standing. It was a broad part of the river, with a sandy bottom, and the water , came half way up their sides. There were four of them, three cows and an old bull they stood in the middle of the river, and, though alarmed, did not appear aware of the extent of the impending danger. I tdok the sea-cow next me, and with my fint ball 1 gave her a mortal wound, knock ing loose a great plate on the top ot her skull. She at once commenced plnugiug round and round, and then occasionally remained atiil, sitting for a few minutes on the same spot. Oa bearing tho report of my rifle two of tbe Others took up stream, and tbe fourth dashed down the river; they trotted along, like oxen, at a smart pace, as long as tbe water was shal low. I was now in a state ot very great anx iety about my wounded sea-cow, for I feared that ahe would get Into deep water, and be lost like the last one; her struggles were carrying her down stream, and tbe water was becoming deeper. To settle tbe matter, 1 ac cordingly fired a second shot from tbe back, which entered the roof of her skull passed out tbrough her eyes she kept continually splashing ronnd and round iu a circle in the middle o! the river. 1 bad great lean of the crocodilee, snu did not know that the sea-cow might not attack me. My anxiety to secure her, however, overcame all hesita tion; so, divesting myself Of my leathers, and armed with a sharp knife, X dashed into the wa:er, which at fint took me up to my armpits, but in the middle was shallower. . . , , As 1 approached Behemoth, her oyes look ed very wicked. I waited for a moment ready to dive under the water It she attacked me; bat she was stunned, and did not know what she was doing; to, running in npon her, and seizlcg.her short tail, 1 attempted toincllDeberconnetoland. It was extra ordinary what enormous strength she still had in tho water. I could not gnido her In the slightest, and she continued to splash, and plunge, and blow, and make her circular course, carrying me along with her as if I was a fly on her Util. Finding her tail gave me but a poor hold, as the only means of securing my prey, I took ont my knife and cat two deep parallel incisions through the akin on her ramp. Lifting this skin from tbe flesh so that I could get in my two hands, I made use of this as a handle; and after come desperate hard work, aometimea pushing, sometimes pulling, the sea-cow continuing her circular coarse all the time, and I bold ing on at her rump like grimdeath, eventual ly I succeeded in bringing this gigantic and most powerful animal to tho bank. the buabmsn quiekly brought me a ' ??? jeck.w Here . stout buffalo rheim trom my hone???s neck, which I passed through the opening in the thick akin and moored Behemoth to a tree. I then took my rifle and aent a ba???l through the center of her bead, and she waa numbered with the dead. * At this moment my wagons came np with in a few hundred yards of the spot, where I ontsponned, and by moonlight we look down ??? span of select oxen and a pair ot rheim chains, and succeeded itudragging tbe sea- cow high and dry. We were all astonished at her enoTtnona size; she appeared to be about five feet broad across the belly. I could see ranch beauty in the animal, which nature has admirably formed for the amphibious life It was destined to panne. We were occupied all the morning of the 10th catting up and salting tbe select parts of the sea-cow; of tbe skull I took particular charge. She was extremely 1st, more re sembling a pig than a cow, or a hone. In the evening I rode down the river, and ahot a brace ot water-backs, after which I left the river bank and rode to tbe commit ot an ad jacent bill, from which I obtained a fine view of tbesurronndingconntry. Many bold bine mountain ranges stood to tho north and northwest; to the east and southeast were al- ao mountain ranges. False PaoraiTs.???The false prophets of whose comiDg Mohammed forewarned hla disciples, and who have continued to appear at intervals irom bis Ume down to that of ??1 Mahdi, bad begun to fulfill tbe prediction even daring his own lifetime. In the year 631 an impottor named Moseilmah establish ed himself on an oasis in the Arabian desert, announced himself as a prophet, and gained so many adherents that Mohammed was pre paring to march against bis rival in Derson when death overtook him. His favorite gen eral, Khaled, however, took command of tbe expedition, and one hard fought battle ended tbe reign and life of the pretender. About ISO years later another and more formidable impostor appeared in the sooth of Central Asia, whose career has become fa- miUar to English readers in tbe psges of Moore???s ghsstly epic. ???The Veiled prophet of Khorasran." This was Hakim Ben Has- chem, nicknamed ???Moksnnah" (the veiled) from tbe veil of ailver gauze he always wore. Fixing his capital at Merv in the Turcoman desert (recently annexed by Boss is), he pro claimed himself the last and greatest of tbe profdBts, aent to free tbe world from MoltmwgPhny. In mockery of the black atandardof the AbbaaideCaliphs he arrayed bis soldiers in wbits and displayed a snow- white banner. He was at length assailed and defeated by the Caliph Habadi, who panned him across the Oxns and besieged him in Ns- kshtb (tbe modern Ktnhi), rnich lie* about ninety miles southeast ot tbe present city of Bokhara. Here, finding himself hard press ed,this arch-traitor poisoned all his surviving warriors at a banquet, and then, according to the historian d???Herbelot, flung blmrelf into a cistern filled with horning drags, in order that the total disappearance of his body might give rise (as it actually did) to a belief that he had atceuded iuto heaven. Of a widelv difierent temper was tbe fiery and fearless Al Karmaib, himself a dupe of his own lmposinte. Like the Sikh prophet Govind, he was the pupil of a gentle and visionary master, who sought to give his doc- trines a moral rather than a material supre macy. But this was not enough for tbe tin- peraous Karmatb, who raised tbe standard of revolt against the Caliph himself, marched upon Mecca with a powerful army, and fought a three days??? battle there, which heap ed around the sacred inclosureof the Kaabah 30.000 Moslem corpses. ???Tbe blood ran in the Btreets of the noly city," said an eye-wit ness. ???like water from a mountain spring." The (caliph's troops, however, at length suc ceeded in the Karmathites from the town; but such was the savage tenacity of these stern enthusiasts that, according to some Arabian chroniclers, 100 battles were fought before their resistance was completely over- pom*. . The long series of insignificant pretenders that followed cniminated at length, early in the eighteenth century, in the person of Abd??? Ei Wahab, the Luther of Islam, aud one of the most striking fignres in oriental history. After spendibg his whole life in vigorous and not altogether unsuccessful attempts to re form tbe corruptions of the Mohammedan church, he brqaeathed his name and doc trines to the Wahabi sect which is stillan im portant element in the Moslem world. Among the later Wahabis was an Arab chief of the Sinai peninsula, who made himself conspicu ous not many years ago by assembling a band of native guerrillas among the Arabian moun tains, patting forth pretensions similiur tc those now arrogated by El Mqbdi, and de nouncing tho sultan himself as a usurper, Two successive expeditions were sent against him in vain, bat he was at length hemmed in, given up to the Turks by nis own men, and imprisoned for life.

An imitation of a mansard has been added to the two stories of tne con vent, and above the roof at each end rises i turret pierced with wooden gone, the modern trlbnto to the structure's famous history. Gne can hardly goamiss on a guide, for the battle cry of the second Mexican war, ???Ke member the Alamo!??? echoes in the Ban An tonian's memory, and the details of the mas- sacie aro as fresh in his mind as are those of the killing of Ben Thompson and King Fish er in the Vaudeville theater last week. A little back, buj j oining on the end of the con vent, stands the massive building in which Crockett and his reduced band retired and made their last figtit. The door stands wide open, and the floor is covered with fragments of evergreen wreaths and trimmings. A church festival was the last use to which the Alamc was put, and the lumber for the tables has not been removed.

Hers in this corner," slid Mr. C. J. Downes, a former St. Louisan, wno took the Gtobe- Democrat correspondent under his guidance, "when the lost shots were fired from the window, Crockett took np bis position with his knife. You see he was sheltered from the window and faced the door. He killed eeven- teen Mexicans and their bodies piled np on thie floor in front of him. Then they pinned him to the wall with a long epear, aud he had hacked that holf tbrough with qis knife before they gave him his death wound.???

A Mopjrh Ponux.???Tbe following ia an account of an adventure which occurred to Frank Forrester, lu America. A large bear was traced lo a cavern in the Hound moun tain, and every effort made for three days without auccess to smoke or bum him out. At length a bold hunter, familiar with the spot, volunteered to beard tbe bearln his den. The well aperture, which, alone could be seen from without, descended for about eight feet, then turned off at right angles, running nearly horizontally forabont six feat, beyonc which itopened intoasmsll circular chamber, where tbe bear bad taken up his quarters. The man determined to descend, to worm himself, feet forward, on his back, and to ???hoot at the eyes of the bear, as they would be vieible in the dark. Two narrow laths of pine wood were accordingly procured, and pierced with boles in which candles were ???laced and lighted. A rope was next made ast about his chest, a batcher's knife disposed in readiness for hie grasp, and his musket loaded with two good ounce bullets, well wrapped in greased buckskin. Gradually he disappeared throating tbe lights before him with nis feet, and holding the musKct ready cocknd iu hie hand. A few anxiona moments ???a low savage growl was ha mi???then a loud, bellowing, crashing report, followed by a loud and fearful bowl, half anguish, half furious rage. Tbe men above .wildly and eagerly hauled up the rope, aud the sturdy hunter wn whirled into the air uninjnred, and retaining in hie grasp his good weapon; while the fierce brute rushed tearing after him even to the cavern's mouth. As soon ss tbe man had entered tbe smalt chamber, be icrceived the glaring eyeballs of the hear, iad taken steady aim, at them, aud had, he believed, lodged hla bullets fairly. Painful moanings were soon heard from within, and then all was still I Again tbe bold man de termined to seek the monster; again he vanished, aud his musket shot roared from tbe recesses of the rock. Up ho waa whirled; but this time, the bear, streaming with gore, and furious with pain, rushed after him, and with a mighty bonsd, cleared tbe confines of the cavern! A baity and harmlesi volley was fired, wnlle the bear glared around as it un decided npon which of tbe group to wreak his vengeance. Tom, tbe hunter, coolly railed his piece, but enap! no epark followed the blow of the hammer! With a cam Tom threw down the musket, and, drawiag bis knife, rushed forward to encounter the bear tingle beaded. What would have been hie Me bad the beer folded him in bis deadly hog, we may be pretty sure; but are tbu could happen, the fonr bullets did their work, end be fwll; a convulsive shudder pass ed through h!s frame, aud all V, 4 still. Six hundred odd pounds did he weigh, and great were the rejoicing! tt his distraction. A Cowboy is a Stamvids.???"One of tbe slickest things I saw in my travels." said a passenger from the west, ???was a cowboy stop ping a cattle stampede. A herd of about six or eight hundred had got frightened at some thing and broke away pell-mell, with their tails in the air and the bulls et the head of the procession. But Mr. Cowboy didn???t get excited at all when he saw tbe herd was go ing straight for a high bluff, where they would certainly tumble down into the canyon and be killed. You know that when a herd liko that gets to going they can???t atop, no matter whether they rush to deatn or not. Those iu the rear crowd tboee ahead, and away they go. I wouldn???thavegivcna dollar ahead for that herd, but tbecowboy spurred up his mustang, mude a little detour, came iu r-ght in front of the herd, cat across their pstn at a right angle and then galloped leisurely ou to the edge of that bluff, 'halted aud looked around at that wild mass of beef coming right toward him. He was as cool as a cucumber, though I expected to see him killed and was so excited I could not speak. Well, air, when the leaders had got within about a quarter of a mile of him 1 saw them try to alack up, though they could not do it very quick. But the whole herd seemed to waut to atop, and when the cows and steers in the rear got about where tbe cowboy had cut across their path I was surprised to see them stop and commence to nibble at tho grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheel ed, alaggled back and went to fighting for a chance to eat where the rear guard was. "You see, the cowboy had opened a big bag of salt be had brought out from the ranch to give tbe cal tie, galloped across tho herd's course and emplied the bag. Every critter auiffed that line of salt, and of course that broke up the stampede. ??? But I tell you it was a queer sight to see that cuss out tberoon the edge of tbe bluff quietly rolling a cigarette, when it seemed as if he???d bo lying under two huudred tons of beef in about a minute and a naif."???Chicago Herald. A Wild Ken oit the Kail.???An incident which we believe has never had a parallel In railroad history occareed on lastTnursday on the Burlington and Missouri railroad between this ci'y and Denver. At Akron the tornado on Thursday unnoted the round hoose aud did some other damage. About five o'clock in the evening, when the wind was at its strongest, it started a train of eight box cars, loaded with coal, that were standing on the side track at that place. Two brakes were set, bnt they were not enough to hold it, and it ran tbrough the split switch without being derailed and started east. Tho track was nearly level where the train started, butting la down grade this side of Akron. The wiB was so strong that It took tue train more rap-" 1 idly than the passenger trains over the line move, even ou tho levol track, and when it reached a down grada of coarse the speed be came something fearful. The operator at Akron noticed the runaway train eoon after it broke loose and Sent the alarm down the line. Everything was ordered side-lraokod. and the crazy train had the right of way. The cannon-nail train barely escaped. Marvelous as it may seem, those lunaway can ran one hundred miles, passing eight sta tions, orer a track which is lor agreat part of the distance Almost perfectly level, with no propelling power buc tho wind. They ran the one nundred miles in less than three hours, and statiou agents and others who witnessed the strange train held their breath with awe as it whirled oy at the rate of near ly a mile a minnte. It passed Halger at the rate of forty miles on hour end is said to have run the twenty miles of down grade this side of Akron in eighteen minutes. At Bsnkleman, ninety-five miles this side of Akron, a freight was standing on the side track. As the runaway train passed tbe en gineer ran hie engine ont, wito a brakeman on the tender to make the coupliog, and gave chase. It was au exciting chase, bat the en gine, which brought io the aid of the wind the power of the steam cbtste, soon clu.'cil the gap between ilaelf and tho flying train.

Gently folding back her head and throwing a look, or rather a rapid scales of looks of unutterable nothings Into my oyes, I gazed clean through her???a for a moment, and then with a long breath I tapped her lips. It was a revelation to her; she quivered visibly, bnt insteod of returning my Kiss, sho broke away from my embrace and ran off to lock herself up, frightened, pleased, but as tounded. I was satisfied that I had done myself and country proud, although, to bo candid, it was merely a mechanical opera tion with me, done for the lake of effect, as f did not really care for the girl, 1 think ahe remained in maiden meditation for two dans, but at last I eaw her, and she told me, with a deep blush, that she wished she had been born in America, to be kissed like that.

Ralph Willingham lias for years bean a ruffian ruler in the vicinity of Kissimmee and ran things in his own way. He is a eattle king, lives in a castle and made fast friends of all tbe poor. His life was like that-of a feudal lord, and the story went that he had two large chests fall of Spanish doub loons bidden in one of his fortified lodges in the wilderness. When he got tired of seeing a man arouod he went and killed him, and at length five murders were laid tobis charge. A reward of $2 600 was offered for the capture Willinglmn, dead or alive, aud thus out lawed he had enough followers to guard his outposts and makeliim secure in hie Kissim mee domain. Ralph Willingham is a power ful man, ot heroic proportions. He had no tear of any man in Florida in a single con test. He finally became reckless and then he fell. He, in company with bis wife, boarded a steamer which traded on Kiseimmee river and tbe adjscent lakes, to meke a short trip, and in a spirit of bravado got op a quarrel with the skipper, who suddenly came out of the cabin and gave a general alarm.
