On Monday last an exciting and .successful deer hunt took place on Wapato lake, about tliiee miles from New Tacoma. The young men, known as the Lowell brothers, of this place, taking with them their rifles and a good hound, went to the nursery farm of Mr. F. S. Ailing, near the lake, and enlisting jus aid, started for the lake. The manner of hunting deer here is simply to turn the dog loose in the woods so that he may find the trail of a deer and follow it up and drive the jrame into the water. Jt is said that ninety-nine times oat ol a hundred, where a deer is so chas ed in these woods, he will run to the lake and jump in. where he is casilv despatched. Wapato is a! small fresh water lake, a mile or so long, and say half a mile wide, and it has beautiful surroundings. The dog had not been loose and the men had not taken their stations "ten minutes when a big buck deer came crashing through the woods, pursued by the hound in full cry. Mr. Ailing, who was in a small skiff waiting for him. pulled ahead, and getting within range, sent one bullet into the neck of the deer and another into the head, and his game was soon lauded. The dog, which had been waiting at the point where the deer took the water, was again turned to the woods, and in a very short time a fine doc was rustled out of her hid ing place and driven to a plunge into the deep water of the lake. AHiug was again on baud in his little bout and, coining in range, discharged both Imrrels of his gun, but without effect. Theu began an amusing and exciting chase. Ailing in his bout endeavoring to get within striking distance and the deer each time dodging him by a quick turn. JJut the man i with the oars had more endurance than the deer swimming, and after a long chase, during which there was continued shouting and cheer ing from the shore, the prow of the boat was drireu upon the back of the deer, causing it to plunge with force and cause Mr. Ailing to Jose one of his oars. The deer again escaped, and the boatman followed, propelling, Indian fash ion, from side to side. This was continued until hunted and hunter were alike exhausted, when by an extraordinary and final effort, Ai ling drove the boat within striking distance and crushed the skull of the deer with his oar.

CaltfontiKti. 1 was vUsitins: a sentleinitu who lived in tiki vicinity of Lob Angc les. The morning was lx?autiful. The plash of little cascades about tlc grounds, Uie buzz of bees and the gentle moving of the foliage ol the pepper trees in the scarcely perceptible! ocean breeze, made up a picture which L thought was complete. It was not. A mule wandered on the scene. The scene. 1 thmight, could have got along without him. He took a different view. ( )f course mules were not al lowed on the grounds. That is what he knew. That was his rea son for being there. I recognized him. Had met him. His lower lip hung down, lie looked disgusted. It seemed he didn't like being a mule. A day or two before, while 1 was trying to pick up a little child who had got too near this mules heels, he kicked me two or three times before 1 could tell from which way I was hit. I might have avoided some of the kicking, but in my confusion 1 began to kick at Uie mule. I didn't kick with him long. He outnumbered I le browsed along on the choice shrubberv. 1 forgot the beautv of the morning. Remembered a black and blue spot on my leg. It look ed like the print of a mules hoofi There was another on mv right hip. Where my suspenders cross ed were two more, as 1 have been informed. They were side by side twin blue spots, ami seemed to be about the same age. 1 thought ol revenge. 1 diun t want to kick with him any more. 13ut thought, if I had him tied down good and fast, so he could not move his heeis, how like sweet incense it would be to first saw his ears and tail smooth off, then put out his eyes with a red-hot poker, then skin him alive, then run him through a threshing-machine. While J was thus thinking, and getting madder and madder, the mule, which had wandered up close to a large bee-hive, got stung. His eyes lighted up. as if that was just what he was looking for. He turned on the bee-hive and took aim. He fired. In ten seconds, the only pirce of bee-hive I could see was about the size a man feels when he has told a joke that falls on the company like a piece of sad news. This piece was in the air. It was being kicked at. The bees swarmed. Tliev swarmed a good deal. They lit on that mule earnestly. After he had kicked the last -piece of bee-hive so high that he could not reach it any more, he stopped for an instant.' lie seemed trying to ascertain whether the 10,000 bees which were stinging mm meant it. i hev diil. The mule then turned loose. 1 never saw anything to equal it. He was enveloped in a dense fog of earnestness and bees, and filled with enthusiasm and stings. The more he kicked, the higher he rose Irom the ground. I may have been mistaken, for I was somewhat excited and very much delighted tint tlitlt Trillin vAAtna.rl tit ricn ic " ..... ..w.... .v, ..-v. ,.o reach higher than his back; that is, a mule's fore-legs can reach for ward and I lis hind legs backward . ilc becomesstraightcned i- . r i " 111 ! until the mu out into a line of mule parallel with the earth, and fifteen or twen ty feet therefrom. This mule's hind-legs, however, were not only raised into a line with his back, but they would come over until the bottom of the hoofs almost touched his ears. The mule proceeded as if he dejsirnd t Iiurrv through. i 1....1 .. z.i i.... i l iiuu iiu iiicii imw iiiuii uuw hi hive would hold until I saw that bee-hive emptied on that mule. They covered him so completely that I could not see any of him but the glare of his eyes. I could see from the expression of his eyes, that he didn't like the way things were going. The mule still went on in an absorbed kind of a way. Not only was every bee of the disturbed hive on duty, but I think the news had been conveyed to neighboring hives that war had been declared. I could see bees flitting to and fro. The mule was covered so deep with bees that he looked like an exaggerated mule. The hum of the bees, and their moving on each other, comlrned into a seelhing hiss. A sweet calm and gentle peace fulncs pervaded we. When he had kicked for an hour he began to fall short of the tops of the pepper trees. He was set tling down closer to the earth. Numbers were telling on him. He looked distressed, lie had always been used to kicking against some thing, but found nw that he was striking the air. It was very ex hausting. He finally got so he did not rise clear of the ground, but continued to kick with both feet for half an hour, next with first one foot and then 'the other for another half an hour, then with his right foot only cverv few minutes, the interval y lew minutes, the interval ring lonrer and longer, until t .

Joseph Hatton, writing to the Times from London sa-s: It is worth while to refer back to my letters on the Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts business. It will be found that I I maintained the steady forecast that there would be no wedding. Kven after 1 had seen the. lady's letters referring to the voting gentleman as her future luis- bund 1 took the libertv to suggest that the influences against the marriage were so powerful including, as they did, great alienation of the lady's pri vate property, that the hopes ol the billing and cooing couple might yet be frustrated! To-day it is generally stated throughout society that fate has pronounced a final 41no" against her much talked of union. Last week it was said on good authority the baroness had presented the young Anglo-American with i.'oOO,000 in consols. Whether she first intimated to him, or he to her, that, after all, their marriage was an ill-advised match and had better be thought of no more, is not known except to the parties themselves, but Mr. liart lett took a characteristic way of in forminir his friends he was not go- ing to be married. A swell bachelors' club is being formed, with a tremendous fine as one of the rules in case any member mar ries. Mr. Bartlett wrote to a prominent member asking him to put up his name. The location of the club is Piccadilly, the entrance fee $130. It is said a list of mem bers (limited to 200) was filled be fore Mr. 13artletts name was re ceived. AMFSKMEXTS. Hii.is Yahiktik. Geo.
