MONARCH OF THE SIERRAS. A 31 an and a Bear ConlUct, in WUch the Man Conquers. _ "On Thursday of last week, Mr. Nathan Rogers, who owns and lives upon a ran che in the mountains, about a mile above West Point, near the North Fork of the Mokelumne, had the most terrific encounter with a grizzly bear we ever read of. The details of the occurrence, as'narrated to us, are substantially as fol? lows : Gray squirrels are quite numerous in that vicinity this season, and after din? ner Thursday, Mr. Rogers went out for an afternoon's sport shooting them. He was armed wjth a light rifle, and fortu? nately had upon his person a largo knife which he occasionally carries. Grizzlies are no strangers in the vicinity, and Rogers had frequently seen their tracks while hunting his stock; but as it is yet too early for ravenous beasts to be driven out of the higher mountain ranges by the snow, he felt no apprehension from that source. Mr. Rogers proceeded leisurely along, meeting with such good success in gunning that by 4 o'clock his game* sack was well filled, and as he . was a couple of miles from home, determined to retrace his steps. In leaving the tim? bered rid tre upon which he had been shooting, Rogers had to cross a patch of ?comparatively open country, the only growth it supported being a species of furze and an occasional bunch of chapar? ral. He had gone but a abort distance, 1 when, in descending into a little blind ravine, he came upon a huge grizzly feeding upon the carcasa of a sheep. It is needless to add he did not proceed any further in that direction. The bear was not over 20 feet distant?a space Rogers 'nad not the remotest desire to diminish. in and' beast discovered each other's ? presence at the same moment. Rogers is a resolute man,, a splendid marksman and well inured to the dangers and ex? perience of backwoods life; but, as with - a foil knowledge of the characteristics of the ferocious animal facing him, he re? alized his situation, hope died away in his breast. For a moment he stood irresolute. His first impulse was to run; but his better judgment told him if he did so, and should be pursued by the grizzly, escape would be impossible., and he would be taken at a disadvantage in the struggle which mmt inevitably fol? low.- Dreadful as was the alternative of ing his terrible enemy, it was his only hope, and Rogers firmly resolved to stand his ground, and if the worst came to the worst, to at least sell his life as dearly as possible. There was a chance ;bat the grizzly might not attack him if he retained a bold attitude, but whatever opes Rogers buiided upon that founda? tion were speedily dispelled by the bear giving a low growl, dropping his mutton and advancing toward him. The hunter's heart leaped to his throat the,threatened struggle became an un? avoidable certainty, aud the agonizing "iought, that its result might leave his ife a widow and his children fatherless early unmanned him. The weakness ras out momentary, and then, with very muscle and nerve in bis body .rawn to its utmost tension, the man waited the ~n jet of the beast with as much coolness as though his life was not at slake in the unequal contest. As the grizzly slowly came toward him and had got within a distance of about fifteen steps, Rogers threw his rifle to his shoul? der, and with a steady aim, planted a bullet in the bear's breast, just inside the ?point of the right shoulder. The animal was hit bard, but no sixty-to-the-pound ;bullet ever stopped a grizzly. With a wl so ferocious that it resembled a the infuriated animal rushed for ,rd to the attack. Throwing aside the w useless rifle, and drawing his knife, re braced himself for the death _^le. As the shaggy monster reared pon its haunches, its great, black, con head towering two feet above Rogers, latter involuntarily threw up his left . like a pugilist on guard. The bear lized the arm in its mouth, and tbrow g its great paws over the shoulders of the hunter, hugged him in an embrace cruel that nis eyes seemed starting m their sockets, and the blood gushed mm his nostrils. Rogers' right arm was ee, and he drove the long blade of his ..nife to the hilt in the side of the grizzly, close to the shoulder. The blade reached a vital point, inflicting a fatal wound, " iut its immediate effect was only to in the grizzlv"s ferocity. It hugged _ers the closer, its long, sharp, chisel . pointed claws tearing gaping wounds in the unfortunate man's back, while with a sickening sound the bones of his left arm were crunched and ground to pow? der jn the vise-like jaws of his terrible "antagonist. Wild, with the agonies of his wonnds, Rogers plied his knife with ? the energy of desperation, driving it v again and again into the vitals of the bear, literally carving it alive, while the a latter, with claws and teeth, lacerated its human foe in the moat frightful manner. It was, indeed, a struggle to death. ' Rogers, weak from the loss of blood, and . half delirious from pain, now fought more from intuition than anything else, having only a vague consciousness that his life depended upon putting an end to that of the bear. The terrible wounds v of the grizzly were also commencing to tell upon its vitality. Rogers' senses were not so dulled but that he could dis ? tinguish that the grizzly was gradually relaxing its hold, and the ray of hope -the knowledge afforded him stimulated him to renewed exertions with his knife. The bear endeavored to support itself de? spite its cruel wounds, wavering for an instant, and then, with a low moan that Bounded almost human in its expression of pain aud despair, the huge monster ?" toppled over, dragging the man with it, - the latter falling partially underneath. . Summoning ell his remaining strength, . Rogers plunged his knife into the griz zh'r, abdomen, the hot life blood and viscera spouting full in his face. The bear relinquished its hold, and Rogers, torn, lacerated, aud bleeding, crawled far enough away to escape being rent to i piecjs by the terrible death-struggle of the grizzly. Although victorious, Rog? ers' condition was critical in the extreme. He was a mile and a half away from ? home,-so weak and faint he could scarce? ly stand, end iu danger of bleeding to death before he could reach help. His left arm bung crushed and lifeless at his side, his left- scapula and clavicle were broken, the blood trickled from the ter? rible wounds in his back, and his legs were literally furrowed by the crooked claws of the bear's hind feet. Conscious that he must soon have help or perish, he summoned all his resolution and stag? gered along in the direction of home, more dead than alive, a trail of blood marking his footsteps. He managed to reach a spring in sight of his bouse, when his endurance at last gave way, and he fell in a dead faint by the water's edge. Fortunately ho was soon after discovered by hi.- sou, a lad of some twelve years, who immediately gave the alarm. Rogers was taken home and his wounds temporarily dressed, an express in the.mean time being sent for a physi? cian. The grizzly was the largest ever known to have be ju killed in tho county. It measured nine feet in length "over all," .and weighed 1,400 pounds. The left side of the bear was literally torn to pieces, ther? being no less than twenty two kr.ife .vounds, nearly every one of which reached a vital point. One of its fore puws has been sent to us. Some idea of its s:ze can be obtained when we state that tie foot just covers an ordinary dinner plate. At tho present writing (Thursday) Mr. Rogers is lying in an extremely critical condition. In addition to his horrible wonnds, tho shock to his system was a terrible one. His left arm, literally mangled ac.d torn to shreds, has been amputated at tho shoulder. His left clavic le and scapula wem fractured, and the tarec lower ribs on the right side broken. The flesh and muscles on his back are so broken and abraded that the vertebra} are a:tuaily visible in places, while, as before stated, his lower limbs are literally seamed and furrowed. De? spite his frightful injuries, the attendant physician id of the opinion that Mr. Rogers may recover if erysipelas does not intervene.?Calaveraa [CaL) Chron? icle. KISS BENNETT'S SENSIBLE MATCH. The Marriage of James Gordon Bennett's Sister?A Wedding Present or 8.?00,000. New Yoke, October 5. James Gordon Bennett's sister has en? rolled herself among the sensible Ameri? can girls whose fortunes were not carried off by bankrupt foreign noblemen. The Irish peer who was announced to be in hot pursuit of her share of the accumu? lations of the shrewd old Scotchman who founded the Herald must have been dis? appointed, for the gentleman who mar? ried Miss Bennett a fortnight ago is a New Yorker and the son of an old New York merchant. Isaac Bell, Jr., the happy man, is comfortably rich in bis own right, besides having expectations from his father, Isaac Bell. He is one of the gilded youth of New York, of whom James Gordon Bennett is the bright and shining example. As a rule they are young men of laborious leisure, dresa English, talk English, wear Eng? lish whiskers, drive coaches as the Eng ?sh do, - and in other respects found themselves upon the blasted aristocracy of the British Isles. Mr. Bell, however, seems to be a sensible mnn if he is fash? ionable; and bis wife is a quiet little lady, speaking and writing several lan? guages, an accomplished musician, and a great social favorite. TL. 2 match seems to be regarded in the circle of the gilded youth as a proof that the driving of coaches and playing of polo tends to the formation of perfect existences, and no doubt they would have liked to see the bride and groom driven to the altar in Col. DeLancy Kane's four-in-hand. There is a thread of romance in the bride's life which the marriage has re? called to those acquainted with the cir? cumstances. There was a time, as almost everybody knows, when Miss Bennett was bent upon taking the veil. So strong was her desire that it was with Sreat difficulty her father could persuade er to put off for a time her farewell to the life of the world. Finally, by por? traying the lonely condition in which he would be left if she should enter a con? vent, be succeeded in obtaining her promise that she would wait to fulfill her cherished wish until after his death. When she conceded tha'. much she did not know how much of a victory the shrewd old man had won. For he pro? vided in his will that in case she should determine not to enter n convent, one half of his property, excepting the Herald, should be hers, and this would be a handsome fortune; if she should, however, persevere in her original inten? tion, the whole property should pass to her brother. What was the result? Why, just what the sly Scotchman had foreseen. The peoplo "ho had been urging the veil upon Miss Bennett, being Catholics of the sort that amass wealth for the church and hunt down fortunes as a hound might a hare, rather than Catholics of the sort that have carried the cross into every land beneath the sun and bare filled the annals of the church with the record of their piety and heroism, found that she was coming to them empty-handed and fell away from her as if she bad been smitten with the plague. Sh'? SAW the selfish and cunning policy that 'ay back of much that had been said to her, and like a sensible wo? man she changed her mind, as all sensi? ble women invariably do. Therefore, she is now a happy wife, instead of being a hcpeless nun. ; James Gordon Bennett made her a splendid wedding present?no less than $500,000 in cash. It was hardly more than he ought to have done, considering that almost all of her share of the prop? erty is unproductive; but the number of brothers who would havtj given away more than their whole income for two years is limited.?Cor. Cincinnati Com? mercial. The Rights of Planters. The following letter from Collector Brayton, in reply to an enquiry addressed to him, will be read with interest by our planters, as it gives the gist of Commis? sioner Raum's rulings on the right of {?lanters to advance tobacco to their aborers: U. S. Internal Revenue, Collector's Office, )ist. S. C. Columbia, Oct. 2,1878. J. W. Holmes, Esq.:< Sie?Replying to your inquiry, I have to state tha: a farmer or planter who simply supplies his employees with what manufactured tobacco they need for their own personal use, and for their special accommodation, and not with a view to gain or profit to himself, is not regarded a,s engaged in the business of selling manufactured tobacco, and would not be required to pay special La:: for thus sup? plying his hired laborers nrith tobacco. A farmer or planter who, solely for the accommodation of his laborers, as above ctated, not with a view of gain or profit to himself, even though he charges ? price for the tobacco in advance of what he pay3 by the box sufficient to make himself entirely wnole, that is to reimburse himself for such loss, cost and expense as he may necessarily incur, is not held to be liable to pay for the special tax. Yours, respectfully, E. M. Brayton, Collector. Remarkable Conduct of a Dog.? ! A lady, writing to her friends from Dub lie, gives an account of a strange occur? rence by which her husband was saved from being run down i ? a ferry-boat. The gentleman was just about to step into tbo ferry-boat to cross the river, when a large dog rushed upon him, caught hold of his trousers with his teeth, and at the same '.ime kept up a constant howl. It was oe ly after consid? erable difficulty that he could get him? self released, and by that time tho ferry? boat had been shoved off into the river. The gentleman naturally felt much an? noyed at being prevented from crossing, but his feelings were chimged when, a minute later, he saw tho ferry-boat ruu down by a steamar which had approach? ed without noticing the boat. The pas? sengers were thrown into the water, but fortunately the crew of the steamer were successful in saving them st.ll, some being very much exhausted, however. While thinking of the singular r.eans by which he had been saved from the accident, the gentleman could not help noticing the conduct of the dog, which followed close? ly at his heels. He tried every means to get rid of it during the day, but in the afternoon the animal was still following him, and he was obliged to take it home with him. The dog has now been in? stalled as watchman of the house, and has already shown great attachment to the gentleman and his family.?Dundee Advertiser. _ An Unfailing Evidence of Good Taste.?The judicious use of some deli? cate perfume is an unfailing evidenee of good taste.

"Is that so?" said the boy,dejectedly, "I thought it was a man that didn't let things bother him." Tbo father silently putted his son's bead.?Danbury Newt. Senator Hill and the Presidential Fraud. WASHINGTON, October II. The recent letter of Senator Hill, of Georgia, denouncing the Presidential frauds and condemning the President and his appointments to oflice aud his policy generally, is the cause of much surprise1...: :. Up to the closing hours of Congress, in June last, the President had, apparently, no better friend or warmer defender than Senator Hill. Only a few days before the adjournment of Congress Mr. Hill, in a published in? terview, spoke of Mr. Hayes as honest and upright, and in no way responsible for the frauds by which he was elevated to the Presidency. A member of the Cabinet says that Mr. Hill's open ad? vocacy of the President was at times a' source of embarrassment and annoyance, and that the President would have much preferred it h3d Mr. Hill been less vehe? ment in his support. In his letter just published, Mr. Hill says: '"Hayes is as bad a man as Andrew Johnson would have been had he appointed Booth to a seat in his Cabinet." Those here who are thoroughly acquainted with Mr. Hill believe that this sudden and radical change in his opinion of the President, put ford) pretentiously at this time, when there seems no occasion or excuse for it, is to be taken as a notice of Mr. Hill's intention to attack the administration on the opening of Congress. Mr. Hill is an exceedingly earnest and determined man, and is never satisfied with a quiet role. During the last session of Congress, through the efforts of prominent Demo? cratic Senators, no attempt was made to bring up for party discussion in the Sen? ate any questions growing out of the set? tlement, of the last Presidential election. In the course of the debates in the Sen? ate, both in open and in secret session, all allusions made to the subject by Sen? ators of either side were couched in the spirit of moderation and of conciliation. If, as Mr. Hill's friends appear to think, it is his purpose to precipitate on the floor of the Senate this question, it will afford all the opportuuities for sensations that he or any one else may desire. To reopen the question in the Senate will be to inaugurato a discussion that would spread over a large part of the ensuing session, and which would be bitter and violent in the extreme. It is said on the authority of Mr. Rogers, the private sec? retary of the President, that Mr. Hill's assertion that he has made no recommen? dations to office is not borne out by the facts. To the contrary, Mr. Rogers says, Mr. Hill has made a number of recom? mendations for office, and several of the persons recommended by him have been appointed. A friend of the President handed Sen? ator Hill's letter to him, and its perusal caused him the most intense surprise, as he still has the most lively recollection of the almost daily visits paid to the White House by Mr*. Hill in the early spring of 1877, and his continued subse? quent assurauces of confidence and ap? proval. The President was then re? minded of a remark made to him in April, 1877, by a prominent Southern gentleman, not an officeholder, who has known Mr. Hill for many years. The remark was almost in these words: "Mr. President, mark what I tell you; you think Mr. Hill a firm friend of yourself and of your administration, but the day will como when he will turn on you." It may be that Mr. Hill will content himself with the issue cf his letters and will not undertake to stir up strife ou the floor of the Senate, but the intemperate language which he uses fully justifies the conclusion that he means to pitch in. SENATOR THUR5IAN. The Ohio Statesman on the Result In Ohio. Senator Thurman has recovered from bis atu.ck of illness brought on by cam? paign work, and has given his views upon the result in Ohio to a reporter of the Enquirtr. He said: I am not in the least discouraged by the Ohio elections. I bad hoped for a better result, but feared it would be worse. This is the first year the issue has been clearly defind between the peo? ple and the National Banks, and, though 3uestions of monetary science are equally ry themes for discussion, they have begun to absorb the attention of the peo? ple this year and they took but little in? terest in any other. Had we faltered on this question we should have been beaten far worse. The platform of this year strengthened the Ohio Democracy great? ly. Then if we add to our vote that of the National party or Greenbackers, the Republicans, or the party of the National Banks, was in a minority of thousands. Yes, tens of thousands of votes. "Thea remember how their candidates and orators dodged and prevaricated. Secretary Shermau came out here to tell them ho wanted to keep $300,000,000 in greenbacks in circulation?a declaration that has brought on him the severest denunciations of bank advocates in the East. Foster said in his speech that he wanted all the greenbacks now outstand? ing kept in circulation, and McKinley and Van Vorhes were both urged for election because they were greenback men. Others dodged the question alto? gether, just as their platform dodged it. But the National Banks couldn't be de? ceived, and they and the hundred thou? sand officeholders supplied the sinews of war. As the result, never before in Ohio was there so corrupt a use oi money in an election. I don't say that the National Banks in their corporate capacity furn? ished money, but their shareholders and dependents did. Of course Democrats lest some votes by assailing banks, just as there were deserters from that party when Jackson vetoed the bill to charter the old national banks. But our losses were more than compensated by gains from the other side. "The antagonism between Democracy and the National Bank system was inev? itable. It was what Seward once called the irrepressible conflict. It is now a square fight between them and the peo? ple, and every day makes it more plain that we have the right side of the ques? tion. Two thousand banks wielding five hundred millions of capital and eight hundred millions cf deposits, supported by a great political party in power, using the immense patronage of the Govern? ment to Main its dominion, is a formi? dable foe to attack, but the attack will nevertheless prove successful in the end." _ Poison in ouk Pastry.?By the use of Flavoring Extracts, made from inju? rious articles, in our pastry and our creams, we encounter danger. These evils may be avoided by usiug none but Dr. Price's Special Flavoring Extracts, which are free from all deleterious sub? stances, made from the fruit. ? At a happy spot where a number of negroes reside, au old negro was heard calling out to his wife: "Manda, is you got dem chickens shut up in de smoke? house, like I told yer?" "No; au' I like to know what's de matter wid you, dat you's so mighty tickler 'bout dem chick eus all at once?" she replied. "Nebber you mind, I know what's the matter, dat's nuff till them chickens is housed. When I hear dat dem niggers ober dar in de next yard gwine to hab a party, to-mor? row night, I wants to be shore dat my chickens doesn't tend it?you hear me?" The chickens were at once locked up. ? "I can't hold this baby and longer," called out the young husband and father. ' It's getting heavy." "Pshaw, Ed ward," replied a muffled voice from the other side of the room ; "you used to hold me for hours and never complain, and baby is but as a feather compared to what I was." "I was a fool," said Edward. And she wns too sleepy to dispute him. I f you csnnot take the baby to the coun? try, use Dr. Bui la Jjuby Syrup for the usual diseases of early childhood.
