Hunting the Gorilla. Du Ohaillu tolls tho followiug story : "Wo h,ad como to n country w'ioro wo know that gorillas woro suro to bo found, for there grow n pulpy pear-shaped fruit, tho tonda, of which tho animal is vory fond. It grows almost up on a lovol with tho ground, and is of a splen did red color. Not only woro gorillas fond of tho tonda, but I my^ojf liked it very much, as did also tho uogi'ocs. I nm very fond of tho subduod and grateful acid of this fruit. Tho kind that grows' on tho sandy prairies of the soa sboro is not fit to vat. Many and many times I would havo sturved iu tho for est without tonda Wo woro no?, mistaken, for wc found every where gorilla marks, and now and then wo could soo tho hugo foot-prints of somo old monster, which probably would havo como mid odored us battle if ho had bcou noar at hand ; nt other places wc saw where thoy had ;<c:t cl themselves and been eating tho tonda. At another placo near a littlo stream wo dis covered that a female gorilla and her baby bad been drinking, for I could sec tho tiny feet of the little ono. " There must bc gorillas not far off," whis kered Maloucn into my cars, and nt the samo time bc looked carefully at bis gun. Qucrlanen and Gambo gave a chucklo, and looked at Maloucn und at mo. Wo all listened in B? lonco; wo were thou in ono of the thickes and densest parts of thc forest ; nil was op. parently still, but the quick ear of Malaoucn had detected something, hod heard n noise, and ho wanted to know thc cause of it. We were so excited that our breathing was loud and distinctly audible. Wo at ouco cooked our guns, for wo heard tho moving of branches just ahead of us when lo 1 the for est resounded with the terrific roar of thc go rilla, which made thc very earth shake undo1" our feet. As soon as tho gorilla saw us he stood up, and beat bis chest with his power ful hands until it resounded like an immense bass drum. His intensely black face waa something horrid to behold; his sunken deep gray eyes looked like thc eyes of a demon, and bc opened bis mouth and gave vent to roar after roar, showing his powerful canine teeth. How big they were ! they were fright ful to look upon ; thc inside of his mouth was so red. It was a male gorilla, ? veal fighting fellow, and was not afraid of us. How horrid he looked ns thc hair on tho top of his bend twitched up and down, and bc made thc woods ring witli his awful roar until the forest was full of tho diu I Wc stood in silence, gun in hand, and I was ready to fire, when Malaoucn, who is a cool fellow, said, " Not yet." Tho monster, according to thom, was not near enough. He stopped for a minute or so, and then seated himself, for his legs did not seem adapted to support his huge body. Tho gorilla looked at us with his evil gray eyes, then beat his breast with his lon??, powerful nnd gigantic arms, giving another howl of defiance. How awful was that howl ! He then advanced up on us. Nov bc stopped, and, though not far off, they all said, " Not yet." I must own to having been somewhat accustomed to sec go rillas. I was terribly excited, for I always felt that, if thc animal was not killed, some one of us would be killed. I now judged ho was not more than ten or twclvo yards from us, and I could sec plainly tho ferooious and fiendish face of thc monstrous npc. It was working with rage ; bis huge teen th were ground against each other, ao that wo could hear tho sound ; tho skin of the forehead was moved rapidly back and forth, bringing a truly devilish expression upon the hideous face ; then once more be opened his mouth and gave a roar which scorned to shake tho woods like thunder, and looking us in thc eyes, and boating his breast, advanced again. This time he was within eight yards from U3 before he stopped again. My breath was growing short with excitement us I watched the hugo boast Holuouon said "Steady," as he oameup. When bc Malaoucn said "Now," and before he could utter thc roar for which lie wa3 opening his mouth, thrco musket balls were in his body, and he fell doad almost with out a struggle Gambo bad not fired ; bc had kept his gun in reservo in ose of acci dent. " Do not fire too soon. If you do not kill him ho will kill you," said friend Malaoucn to me-a piece of advice which I found after ward tu bc literally true It was a huge beast, ?nd a very old one indeed. Gorillas vary in height like men. This one was over f) lect G indies. Its bare, huge, brawny chest measured 60 inches round j and the big toe or thumb of its foot measured nearly 6 indies in circumfe rence. Its arm seemed only like an immense bundi of musolo, and its legs and claw-like feet were 30. well fitted for grabbing and hold ing on that I did not wonder that tho negroes belie vc 1 that this animal conccalod itself in troos, and pulled up with his foot any living tilling, leopard, ox or man, that passed bo noath. There is no doubt that the gorilla, could do this, but that bo docs ; I do not bc. Hove. They aro ferocious and mischievous, but ?ot carnivorous. ?.THE VELOCIPEDE MANIA.-A man in New\Bcdford hos boen offered SS20,000 for tho patent of his four-wheeled veloc?pedo; but has refused, it, and contents himself with selling tho Cdnnccticutt right for $0,000. Sovoral of tho goading finns in Newark, N. J., horctoforo^ejigaged exclusively in tho mantoufaoturo of olegant eftrraiges, havo bogan the manufaoturo of velocipedes for Now York firms, whilo other establishments aro rapidlj turning off tho whcols and iron work to sup ply tho trado in other cilios. -. WHY is a marriage certificate like an art olo tho public could not do without ? Bcoaust it is a nooio paper. Selecting seed Oom Tho following, from aa exchange, is good, and a trial of it will, wo think, well repay for your troublo : What you want is a com that will boar twolvo rows to tho oob, of good longth, a broad, thick grain, not too long, ono that sits woll down into tho cob, oarrying with it width and thickness, so that you havo a grain that j looks plump, aud on a whito cob. In oolleot j ing this kind of seed you will havo lo do three I things-that is, collect nt thrco given stages : j first, go tl?rough youv field beforo you out up your corn, and about tho timo tho oom is ma turing, select tho best looking cars, and tic a thread around thom-say red yarn. Then, wkou you gather your corn, savo those cars. Agniu, when you husk your corn, save out tho best from tho shook as you husk, aud thou, finally, ns you aro fecdiug out your corn to your stock, whou you seo an extra good car, throw it aside. Thus you will find that by spring you havo collected ubout fivo time ns much nt you need aud from this body of your bestem, sit down and carefully collect out onrs of good length, white cob, twelve rows on a cob, plump look ing grains, with a smooth, glossy wnko, and about as largo as you can span with your soo ond finger and thumb. Herc is a significant fact; Whito we were in Now England wo paid, say 82 per bushel for tho corn raised there, and SI .GO for oom raised hore iu tho West and shipped tbcro for sale. Why this diff?rence ?" For tho very reason at which wc have hinted above-thc ono is hard and solid, tho other soft and spongy. Hut at this point we hear an objection : " It is too hard for the cattle ; they can't c'.iow it," &o. Friend, you will make money by steaming, soaking in wonk brine, or grinding your corn and feeding thc meal. This is often and mostly done East, and it pays well, or Yankco wouldn't do it. Look well to your seed corn. Manures. Nothing pays thc funner a better percen tage on tho investment than manure. Thc best farmer is not he who cultivates thc largest number of ncrcs, but he who raises thc best and largest crops upon a given number of acres. Tho soil is somewhat like thc man or beast; if you work il. without nourishment, it soon dies, or becomes worthless. Tho subject of improving thc soil is now engaging the earn est attention our best farmers, aud wherever manure is used, it has paid at least a hundred per ccut. upon thc outlay. SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE.-Tho rapidity with which phosphate manure stimulates thc growth of vegetation depends upon the read iness with which it may bo dcsolved in water and taken up by thc root. A very good meth od of making the phosphoric acid of ordina ry bone dust soluble, is to spread it between layers of fresh and fermenting barn yard mn. nure. Thc heap should bo covered over with a thickness of several inches of dry earth, to absorb all thc ammonia evolved from tho barn yard manure, and tho organic matter in the bones. Thc whole should bo under cover to prevent tho mass from being soaked by thc rain. HOME-MADE GUANO.-Collect a barrel of bones and crush them ; mix with a barrel ol oak or hickory nshca ; moisten with soap suds, apply a quart or two at any timo. Usc as a special fertilizer on meiern, squashes, carly cora and cucumbers, allowing a gill to a hill THE SOUTH A<;AI.N ITSELF.-Thc Metro politan, aftor a cheerful review of the now very promising commercial situation, nt thc South, comes to the conclusion that ' 3,000, 000 bales of cotton, next year, will put thc quietus on radicalism, and wind up tho whole machinery of reconstruction." Tho spirit of trade, (wc arc reminded,) i< an obsequious one and worships success. Lei the South raise 3,000,000 bales of cotton th ii year, and thc very men who called loudest foi tho enforcement of tho reconstruction policy will solemnly disclaim over having been th? enemy of its people j THE MULE TRADE.-There has boon, fo sonic time past, nn unusual demand for mule in Southwestern Georgia. From the follow ing paragraphs it appears that the doman? still exists. Tho ?' Atlanta Constitution," 0 Suturday, says : Since January 1st, 1809, and up to ycstei day evening, thrco hundred and six ty-novo car loads of mules have been brought to thi city, per Western ana Atlantic Railroad. Estimating a car load nt twenty-one head, w have seven thousand seven hundred and sevc mules. About thrco hundred havo' arrive by dirt road, making eight thousand in roun numbers. Notwithstanding this large influx thc market continues livoly, and tho doman co ti vc, at full pi ices. Tho u Columbus Times," of Friday, says Ten mules wore sold at Harrison's auctic sales yesterday Tho average prico was 8121 Some brought 8100. Tho animals were wc broke, but common ones. Other proporl good prices. HANDSOMELY STATED.-Tho editor of tl "San Francisco Rulletin" has just passt unsoatohod through a trying libel suit. I docs not, in tho hour of his exultation, tui upon his enemies, but extends to them li hand, and in substnnoo says : ?}entlomo your efforts wcro vain. You can not sb history making, you oannot muffle truth. T 1 press is tho organ of thought in tho body pi tic If you can not bear its power, stai from undor. This victory is not mino, ot , might vaunt myself and taunt you. It simply a step forward of journalism. It tito shaking off of a par?sito which mig havo disturbed, but novor could havo ohok up, tho nvonucs of freo expression. Wh t impotent men and swindlers learn theso gr? 3 truths, blaok mailing attempts on journali will gradually cease. DECISION IN REGARD TO Tn? INCOME TAX LAAY.--WO loam from tho "Chioago Post" the followiog faots relativo to tho ab ovo Htatod dcoisiou : ?Ia tho caso of tho United States against William K. Frost, indictment for a falso in como return for 1800, thc jury have returned a .verdict of not guilty. It appeared that Mr. Frost's return for that yoar showed an income of about 81.0,000. Tho Government claimed that there ought to have boon returned about $2,000 in addition. What thc defence sot up was that this sum was exempted from tax ation as bad debts. Tho case turned on n law point. Judge Drummond decided that a mau was not bouud to return as incomo debts or promises to pay, but was only required to returu the gains profits, or incomo, of bis business, aotually received. Ho thought that it would bo unreasonable on tho part of tho Government to require a man 'o pay a lax on a promise to pay or a mero debt, whoa neith er might bo collected, especially as tho party would huvo no recourse upon thc Govcnnncut to recover tho amount so paid Tho oourt instruotcd thc jury that they would be justi fied iu finding thc party not guilty, under thc opinion which be bad intimated, although bc desired to so qualify it as to state that if o person had a note or an account due him, aud ho neglected to collect it when it matured, or refused tho money when tendered, or if ho rcooivod other money in exchnngo for the mun due and in liquidation of thc indebtedness, then bc would bc liable." DANGERS OF BKNSINE.-Tho "Soientfio American" has tho following warning para graph : " From thc facility with which it removes grease spots from fabrics, this substance bas como to bo regarded almost as a household indispensable. But few persons, however, re alize the explosivo character of benzine, or the dangers attending the careless handling of tho liquid. Being one of the most vola tile and inflammable products resulting from the distillation of petroleum, it vaporizes with great rapidity, so that tho contents of n four ounce vial, if overturned, would render the air highly explosive. The greatest care should bo exercised in handling this substance in proximity to fire, and it is important to re member that tho vapor escaping from an un corked bottle will cause a flame to leap over a space of several feet." A MAN who has been travelling in Texas says : "It is thc hottest and thc coldest, the wettest and the dryest, thc richest and thc poorest, thc best and thc meanest, has thc best women and thc meanest men, and more pretty ladies, with prettier little feet, and no calves to suit ; moro sickness and less health, more streams and less navigable waters, more corn bread and less corn, more flour and less biscut, moro cows nud less milk and butter, more chickens and less eggs, more gold and silver and less money, more deer and less von sou, moro negroes and less labor, more Bu reaus and less furniture, than any country in thc United States-and where house flies always live and musquitoes never die !" NEW POSTAOE STAMPS.-The new series of postage, stamps, shortly to bc issued by th? Postoffiec Department, will differ from previ ouHones in size, being smaller, and in respect to thc engravings, which will not, ns hereto fore, all be likeness of public men. Thc di signs are thus : On thc two cent stamp is an engraving of a postboy on horseback ; on thc three-cent, a locomotivo under a full head of I steam; on the five-cent stamp, a head of j Washington; on tho ten cent stamp, a pic. turc of thc Declaration of Independence; on tho twelve-cent stamp, an engraving of nn ocean steam ship, and on thc thirty-cent stamp, tho surrender of Burgoyne THE now House of Commons of Great Britnin, composed of 658 members, contains 12 Independents, 5 Baptists, 5 Quakers, 2 Wesleyan Methodists, 1 Oalvonistio Metho dist, 17 Unitarians, 10 Presbyterians, 6 Jews and 20 Roman Catholics, of whom one only represents an English constituency. Tho rc maining 574 arc probably members of thc Church of England. NOT only woman's rights, but thc practice of advocates of woman's rights, arc getting to bo very popular out west. As for instance tho following : Rev. Miss Augusta Chap, having received n call from n Milwnukc Uni vorsalist Society, ata salary of #2,000 a year, has promptly resigned thc prstoratcof a Uni versahst Society nt Mount Pleasant, Iowa, whore she has been settled for some fimo and ns quickly accepted tho call as any mas culino minister could do-and wo don't blamo her. A YOUNO man nt Connorsville, Giles coun ty, Tennessee, on Thursday evening, whilo standing on tho floor, in thc act of being mar ried, was shot down by tho brother of his brido. Ile foll in tho arms of tho devoted girl, who, assisted by friends, convoyed bim to a bed, when, nt her request, the marriage ccromony was finished, sbo exclaiming that she would rather mourn a dead husband than a dead lover. In a few minutes, tho newly made husband oxpircd. The murderer es caped. A FUNNY LEGISLATURE.-Tho Legisla ture of Illinois, last Saturday, ofter giving Chicago to Indiana, passed a bill vesting all political, civil and social power in tho State in "tho fomalo portion of tho population abovo tho ago of sixteon years." It is mado unlaw ful for any malo over twolvo years old to bo out aftor dark, unless protootcd by a woman qualified to voto. THE King of Greece has a "fat" office A MAN IN THI WRITE PLACE.-An edi I or. if?'iLB.'?e'.'-JiLa fi WATORIN? ONE'S SELF.-"Whoa I was a boy," said an old mau, wo bad a schoolmaster who had an odd way of catching idlo boys? Ouo day bo called out to us : "Boys, I must have closor attention to your books. The first ono of you that sees a boy idle, I want you to iuform mo, nud I will at tend to tho onso." "Ah, thought I, thcro is Joe Simmons that I don't like I'll watch bim, and if I seo him look off his book I woll toll. It was not long before I saw Joe look off his book, and immediately I informed tho master." "Indeed," said ho, "how did you know ho was idle ?" "I Saw him," said I. "You did ; and wcro your eyes on your book when you saw him ?" 1 was caught, and novcr watched for idlo boys again. If wo are sufficiently watchful over our own conduct wo will have no timo to find fault with thc conduct of others. TYPOGRAPHICAL FRAQIDITY.-Wo wish to put on record an instance of self-sacrificing devotion to business which occurred just ns wo were taking our pen to enlighten tho world by another editorial effulgence A party presented himself at tho door of tho composing-room a moment ngo in a state of great mental excitement: "Is Joseph ll. Jackson herc?" Thc party named was engaged'in setting up our last editorial. Ile looked up on bear ing his name. Tho excited party contin. ucd : "Your house is burned up and everything in it." With a cool devotion to duty which will bear comparison with thc most brilliant his torioal examples, Mr. Jackson continued to pick up typo. "I toll you your house is buruod up, and everything in it!" exclaimed tho now aston ished as well as excited stranger. "Well-all right I can't Icavo uow ; I'll come 'round when thc paper goes to press." -jNcw York Evening Mail. "ANO )*ou have been married; Patrick three times, havn't you ? " Yns, indado, sir." " And what do you say of it ? Which wife did yon like best ? " Woll, Booky O'Brien, that I married thc first time, was a good woman-too good for mc; so she got sick died, and, and thc Lord took her." Thon I got married to Bridget Flannagan She was a bad woman ; and she got sick aud died too, and tho devil took her." Then, fool that I was, I got married to Maggert}*. Sbo was worse, very bad-so bad that neither the Lord nor thc devil would have her; so I have to keep her myself." THERE is said to bc a great similiarity be tween a vain young lady and a confirmed drunkard, in that neither of them can never get enough of thc glass. She is only a side issue. Jt?y" Quin told a lady that ?ho looked blooming as spring, but, recollecting that thc season was not then very promising, he ad ded : Would to Heaven thc spring would look like you. DEATH OF TUB OLDEST MASON.-Thc "Eric (N. Y.) Dispatch" Ptates that Joseph Metcalf, who died in that city on Wednesday hint, ot tho age of ninety four, was the oldest Mason in the United States. AFFECTION.-llowsaorcd, how beautiful is this feeling, in pure und guileless bossotns ! Tho proud may sneer at it, tho fashionable may call it fable, tho selfish and dissipated may affect to despise it ; but tito holy passion is surely of Heaven, and is made evil by thc corruption of those whom it was sent to bless and preserve. A HEAD properly constituted can accommo date itself to whatever pillows thc vicisitudes of fortune may place under it. AN editor became martial and was created captain. Instead of "two paces in front advance," he unconsciously bawled out, 'Cash -two dollars a year-advance' Joan BILLINGS has written an essay upon " roosters," in which ho remarks that they "arc thc husbands of many wives. In Utah it is konsidcrcd a disgrace tow speak disrc spcckful of a rooster. Brigham Young's Court court of arms is a rooster." " APPOINTMENTS " For Rev. A. B. STKIMIRNH, I*. JR.
