was standing in al>out four feet of water
and mud, with juidlie *n hand, pushing
and striking at the w -,.er, while the ca-
noe floated slowly down with the ti ie.
Ths boy, still screaming, swaiu rapidly
toward the far shora.
"'But why let the canoe drift away
upside down, when he can so easily re-
fain it?' I said, speaking more to myself
than the men. Yet, as 1 spoke, there
a commotion in tin1 water, and the man,
• powerful fellow, began hitting out wi:h
all his might at a huge dripping body
now slowly raising Itself a few pau«j be-
fore him.
"'By heavens! an alligator!' Icried, as
the monster stood high out of the water,
the ugly head craned forward, and the
two front legs battling with the doomed
negro. 'My gun and shotbag—quick!'
and suiting the acting to the word, I
tore rouud to the rock where 1 had left
them, and returned panting with the ex-
ertion, and earnestly hoping that 1 might
be in time.
•Yes, there they were still, about
eighty yards off, the man fighting for
dear life, hitting out hard and strong at
the massive saurian but a few feet from
him. The blows fell harmlessly upon
the thick head and body of the brute,
while the man endeavored to back fur-
ther away.

with anxious heart I dropped on one
knee and tried in vain to take a true sight.
It was impossible to do so. as the man a
body was constantly covering that of the
alligator in their struggle, so 1 fired in the
vain hope of frightening the beast away,
"But my shots were unheeded, for

quick movement, the hugo alligator
threw itself upon the wretched man.

their heads.
"She was lying useless on nn oozy bed

move her into deep water within at least
an hour. So I continued firing and then
rushed desperately into Iho water, with
an idea of w ading to ur I the man.'
•But it was useless. Ere 1 had pro-
ceeded ten yards tho mud and slush were;

move my feet; so 1 returned to tho shore.
It was too lute to do anything, for slowly
but surely tho alligator was gaining
ground; its neck and body were craning
over the man's shoulder, while lie tried
to dig it off with bis useless weapon.
"There was a momentary struggle, a
sort of spreading wriggle, as though tho
alligator was putting still more weight
into its body; a faint cry, a splash, and
the water throw around a few circular
rings as they sank beneath its surface.

It Is undoubdsedly true that many
heiresses remain unmarried becau eof
their fear of fortune-hunters, writes the
New York correspondent of the Olobe-
DemocraL Miss Jennie Hood, who is
now 113 years of ago, remains single
largely because alio lias no taith in the
protestations of the meu who Ooine to
wco her. Not long ago she received lifty
lov* letters on fifty consecutive days
from a young man whom she had met
only two or three times, but who in-
sisted on saying how beautiful she was
and how much ho was in lovt with her.
Finally she wrote back and told him that
his letters had no etleo^and that it would
be better for him to discontinue them.

to whom Samuel J. Tilden left $100,000,
and who has been spending tho summer

thing is undoubtedly true of Miss Gwen-

Swiss lake dwellings and in the caves of

frequented by man during the Reindeer

ly bodies. But under the most favorable
circumstances, our neighbor is nearly
a quarter of a million miles away, and
when viewed from so great a distance
objects have to be of considerable mag-
nitude if they are to bo visible at all. A
lunar mountain, even if it were us great
as Mount Blanc itself, would only be
shown like a tlu.v hillock by our might-
iest telescopes. No object on the moon
could bo seen unless it were at lea t as
largo as a town hall or a cathedral. "Were

which unaitiat who wn- making a sketch

with bis pencil In our study of the
geography of the moon we need, there-
fore, not expect to see anything clearly
except tho broad features oi its scenery.
Hero, fortunately, we enjoy an advan-
tage which au astronomer who dwelt on
tho moon would not have, it he endeav-
ored to look at the earth. Tho surface of
our globe is bo extensively obscured by
clouds that it would be vary hard lor a
lunar inhabitant to obtain feuch a \iew
of this globe as to gam any adequate idea
of what it surface was really like. Here
and thuie, no doubt, ho might get un oc
casional glimpse, but it is uncertain to
w hat extent a know ledge ol the geog-
apliy of the earth could lie obtained by
an examination conducted from a point
of view lying beyond our atmosphere,
Tho moon, strange to say, has no en
compassing sheets of cloud; there is, in
deed, little or no air there, and conse-
queutly whenever our ow n sky will per
mit us to see through it there is no other
obstacle to our obtaining a clear view of
the moon.
There are certain spots or marks on the
moon us aeon w ith tho unaided eye, with
which every one is familiar, They can
be best observed whan the moon is full,
and it is a remarkablo fact that tho lea-
tures exhibited by the full moon are al
ways the same. The moon always turns
the same face to us, w e are never granted
a glimpse at the other aide, aud as to
what the other bido may bo like lio ono
can give the slightest information. The
diameter of the moon is aliout a thou-
sand miles, from which we inter that the
hemisphere that wo do see has an are
about double us big us the entire of Eu
rope. Some of those larger spots whic
form the features of the full uioon ar
therefore about as large as Franc
Spain. These regions have u different
color to the rest of tho moon's surface,
and the telescope allows that their iloors
are smoother than oth *r tracts of lunar
country.
We have good reason to believe that
these dark patches indicate the basins ol
great aeas that once covered a consider-
able part of the moon's surface. In lact,
the very name by which astronomers
distinguish these objects involve this
doctrine. Thus we speak of tho Mure
gerenitatis as the name of tho region
where a pacific ocean is supposed to have
reposed. We are, however, certain that
the surface of the moon no lo.iger con-
hould try to move across i ucli a coun-
try.
The lunar rambler would find his way
occasionally barred by a tearful chasm
half a mile or more in width, defending
to a depth which his eye could not fa-
thom. Never in the cour- wt hi truve'-
would he nieet with any features re-
sembling those with which he is happily
familiar on earth. Ho would never meet
with a brook or river, he would never
see a grassy field or a tree; in fact, water
being now entirely absent from the nnsm,
it is almost needle, s to add that vegeta-
tion of any sort is not to be found, it fol-
lows also that th re can be no animal

The marble ponds of Persia consist or
pools or "thaez, ' as the Persians call
them; where the indolent waters, by a
slow and regular process, Ktagnale, con-
reteand petrify, producing that beauti-
ful transparent stone, commonly called
tahriz marble, much u^ed iu the burial
places of Persia, and in their best edi-
fices. These ponds are contained witliin
the circumference of half a mile, und
their position is distinguished by heaps of
stones which have accumulated as tho
excavations have increased. Tho pro-
cess of petrification may he traced fr 111
its commencement to its termuiation. In
one part the water is clear; iu a second
it appears thicker and somewhat stag-
nant; in a third Hta<0 quite black, con-
trasting strongly with the fourth and
lust stage, in which it is as white as
hoarfrost. In the third stage when
the surface is quite black it can
bo indented by tossing a stone on
the surface, but in walking across it it
will no more stick to the shoes than
greased tatty to the hands. Such is the
constant tendency of this water to be-
come stone that when it exudes from the
ground in bubbles the petrifaction as-
sumes a globular shape, as if the bubbles
of a spring, by a stroke of magic, had
been arrested in their plav and tnetii-

A curious invest igation has lately been

ant finds that by giving pepper only, he
can produce an elfect iu young birds, if
they have not moulted. Other birds
seem to experience 110 change of plumage
