Why a Hunter’s Opportunity Ended! In)
Ignominious Failure. .
Hunters who go iforth: to shoot pan-g
h '6 ' '- 11'. story of triumph,;.
_ " by and thrilling es-
' =-UB'11t the author of-
“Thirty Years of Shikar” describes the
only chance he ever had of making an
appearance as a slayer of the large
feline creatures as resulting' in a crush-
ing failure. He gives the story as fol-
lows:
A panther was marked down for me '
in a. small thicket, and I Went forth to
When I’ reached the ground.
eyed native pointed it out to me.
“Hitherward was its head,” said this
man, “thitherward its tail.
But I did not see that panther—either
its head, or its tail, or anything that
was its; I saw only a mass of light and
shade under a dense overgrowh of
greenery, dead leaves and grass that
-were yellowish where the pencils of
light broke in upon the gloom, and
otherwise mysterious shadow that told
nothing to my unaccustomed eye. '
All that I looked upon in that green-
wood tangle was equally panther; I
could pick out no particular patch as
being any more pantherish than the
restrof head or tail I made out noth-
ing where all was equally one or the
other, and still that native of keenest
vision besought me to see that pan-
ther,’s head and tail and rightforefoot,
andmany other details of itsranato'my.
Then there came.{-a roar Gilt of the
. thicket, and a. rush which was like the
volcanic upheaval of the ground at my
feet, and, as it seemed, several tons of
that upheaved matter hit me in the
chest and other parts, and I was cata-
pulted onto the broad of my back a
yard or two from where I had stood.
That upheaval was the panther. The '
brute hadn’t had the patience to w ait
until I saw him, or the modesty to take
himself ofi peaceably In some other di-
rection; he had lesented my staring
his way, even though. I saw him not,
and so had emerged but of his lair like
an animal rocket, and knocked me
down in his flight.
Ashe failed to claw me, I came off
seathele'ss; but not so my attendant,
who foolishly embraced the panther' 1n
view to arresting his flight; he got him-
self badly mauled, and did not come a
whOle man out of the hospital for some
weeks. That was my disastrous com-
: mencement withgpanther's.
A LITERARY 'SWINDLER.
Appointed Professor of Arabic \Vithout
Even Knowing the Alphabet.
One of the cleverest literary swin-
dlerswho ever lived, says the Detroit
F ree Press, was a Maltese named Vella,
quaintance with Arabic, although he
(lid not know a word of that language,
and was not even familiar with the al-
phabet. He arrived in Sicily about the
end of the last century, at a. time when
the barons of that country, in order to
settle a. dispute about their feudal
right, were anxious to gain certain in-
formation about the kingdom in the
days of the Saracens.
Vella contl ived to be appointed
translator of certain Arabic manu-
scripts, and he actually produced an
alleged translation and played his part
with such address that he obtained
honors, dignity and the professorship of
Arabic in the University of Palermo.
The Sicilian literati at last became
suspicious and endeavored to expose:
. the impostor, but he was defended by1
some or the most eminent men of the
island, and it was with the greatest
difliculty that an investigation was se-
cured. Vella was at last, however,
convicted and sentenced to fifteen
years’ imprisonment.
TO THE INTEREST OF BOTH.
A Piece of .African ' Despotis'm 'That Pro-
‘ 'ventl Overchargmg.
Kabarega, the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is a man who lules
his subjects with a rod of non. Like
all tyrants, he legulates their smallest
actions, and a. host of spies inf01m
him of any disobedience to his com-
mands. -
_. Among other things he has made a
" ii'Xed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from it' IS severely pun-
ished. An instance of this' is given by
Vita. Hassan in his book about Emin
Pasha and the Eqpator ial Province.
About a month after his arrival' 1n
Uny01o, he bought a fowl and paid
thirty comics for it, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that
part of Africa it- takes about two hun-
dred and fifty cowrics to make a dol—
lar. Soon afterward a dragoman of
the king appeared and brought back
five cowries with the message:
“A fowl costs only twenty-five cow-
ries, while you have given thirty. The
7 seller has- done Wrong, and. the king
will punish him; but he sends to you-
the advice to be careful henceforth in
your purchasesxnever to give for any-T.
thing mine than it is worth, first of all
_ in your own interest (and, next to this,
in order not to disturb the market.”
. Mexico's Early Population.
Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico, invariably upon eminences,-
and usually upon high flat-topped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins of
houses of the ancient semi-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
tilled the soil- before the coming of the:
only vaguely inferred by the numerous
cobblestone foundations of their
houses, still well defined above 1: 1e sur?
face of the ground, and by the debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hillocks, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments of pottery. This
pottery, when turned up by the spade,
is found to be handsome and varied' 1n
