A WOUNDED BULL TU11XS AXD (JIVES LTV ELY CIIASE-ATTACK- 1XG A PEACEFULLY C.llAZ- IXG HERD. .South Aft-lran Letter I little expected, -when listening to Artcmus "Wards five minutes lecture on Africa, that I would ever be found in its jungles shoot ing elephants, lions and other large game. "Ward made a serious blun der when he said Africa was cele brated but for one thing, and that was the rose meaning, as he ex plained it, the negroes. Much as lias been written on the subject, and graphically as many parts of it have been described, there yet remains at least as much untold. I could fill your paper with hair breadth scapes, personal encoun ters with the noble kings of the forest and other equally unpleas ant and annoying companions; describe the characters and pecul iarities of the different nations, the rivers, lakes and general appear ance of the country, but will at present confine myself to II V I'iiM lllcpliaut Hunt. One word in regard to Cape Town. It is about as filthy and undesira ble a place for a permanent resi dence as could be found under the sun. Its population of neatly 40, 000, is composed of about a mot ley a lot as ver existed in one place: May lays, Hindoo?-, Mada gascars, Mozambiquers, Kafiirs, Hottentots, Arabs, St. Ilelenians and a mixture of the whole, every shade of color from white to coal blacks. On landing you are shouted at in every imaginable tongue for the privilege of carrying your lug gage from the dock to the hotel. The houses are mostly one and two stories, built of brick,, stuc coed and whitewashed on the out side, with sloops projecting into the streets, which are with one or two exceptions, without sidewalks. There is no system of sewerage, which accounts for the filthy con dition of the place. Jlarrbliiu In the .Iiinale The morning was clear, with usual accompaniment of intense African heat. We starred on the track, and from that time, with the exception of a few brief breath ing spells, we kept up the march until after 1 o'clock, when we overtook our game. The sun was pouring its blistering rays down on us at about 110 degrees. The animals were first discovered bj one of our bushmen, who had climbed a tree to take observa tions, and were standing content edly and on good terms' with each other in the shade of some large trees. It recalled to mind my youthful observations on the first elephant 1 ever saw, and could hardly- realre the fact that I was about to test with lead the capa city of the elephantine hide. The First Shot. After a preliminary rest and consultation we crept forward to within about fifty yards of where the elephants stood. On account of my leadership I was given the honor of the first shot. 1 cast my eyes over the herd and selected the largest in sight. I raised mv gun and blazed away, the natives following with their shots immedi ately after. Part of the herd, when the' discovered the condi tion of affairs, consideied that dis cretion was the better part of valor, and rushed away. But I soon found that I had as much as I could attend to with out observing the actions of my companions, for the elephant that I had wounded cocked his ears, elevated his trunk, and with a loud trumpeting rushed straight for me at the top of his speed. I soon found that the condition of affairs had become somewhat re versed; instead of me hunting the elephant, the elephant was exerting no inconsiderable amount of Speed la Huutins Me. I did not stand lonp- on the order of going, but fled with a speed that would have won at leust second pme in a go-as-you please match By keeping to the lee ward of htm and dodging among the bushes, 1 got out of his sight. He rushed impetuously by me, over thorn bush and young tree, perfectly crazed and mad with rage. Presently he returned on his own track and after cautiously following him short distance T got another shot at him. He turned and charged again and T had about the sharpest nice I ever had in my life. Ho then gave up pursuit and turned back. T fol lowed in litP track, which were covered with blood, and hoon over took him. 1 tlten prepared for a desperate encounter, gave him a shot that broke his shoulder, and preventing his charging again. Blood was M reaming from him and he was hardly able to move. Game was still in Iris eye. Ap ptoaching within a few yards of him 1 gave him two more shots, and he sank on iiis knees and "buried his longtu,ksin the ground. lie made seveial ineffectual at tempts to arie to his feet, but fell over lifeless. It was by far the most exciting hunt 1 ever had. An E'.nr.-igi-il i:icptianf. If anyone can imagine a locomotive chasing him through the woods, and barely escaping from it, they can have some idea of the charge of a wounded and infuriated ele phant. It is not every man who has the nerve to hunt elephants, and few will stand a second charge, or risk it. To get within reach of an elephants proboscis is certain death. Although a cry danger ous sport it y most exciting, ami I must say 1 was proud of my vic tory. When en raged the elephant stops at nothing. Bush and trees are no impediment to him, unless of large growth. oiue .IIIkIiO TiisUx. During the battle 1 heard shots at times front my companions, who were pursuing the herd, and soon they came staggering in and reported having killed two ele phants a bull and a cow. The one 1 killed was a large bull, with fine tusks, which weighed fifty eight pounds each. The others were smaller. Cow tusks rately exceed fifteen pounds. Leaving the elephants we made our way back tired and hungry. The next day we sent for the cart, and the people went out to dry meat from the elephants we had killed. "When the cart came 1 went out with it and found meat prepared to load and heaps of it scattered over the ground. Most of my people an 1 a host of bushmen were gorged with eating. J never could understand how the bushmen Itnd out that an elephant has been killed in their vicinity. You will not see a sign of them, but when a slaughter takes place they come with the vultures and hyenas, all ready to partake of the banquet. After cutting out the tusks, which are imbedded in the soft bone of the head for half their length, we loaded the cart with meat and re turned to camp. LEGEND OK THE OPAL.

Peruvian Hitler- A Russian Aerial Ship. The Progress of Science for June details a marvelous story of aerial navigation, on the authority of a correspondent in Calcutta, who professes to have received a letter from Edward Z. Ward, a Xcw York engineer in the Russian service, dated at Cashmere. He stated that the late Czar was long eniraired in fitting out a .secret ex pedtfcon to Moscow. The force engaged consisted of seventy-three men, who were transported to the Caspian, as soon as the ice broke up, in several river boats loaded with mysterious boes. On reach ms: a small fort not far from Aster- abad the party landed, and the boat.s. each mounted with one or J two cannon, were drawn up to' protect the expedition. ork shops were erected and earthworks thrown up, the cannon mounted, and then the vessels disappeared, the guanl being augmented by patties in Persian uniforms. The principal workshop had high walls but no roof, and within it was put lu"iuiii;i ii "; '") "" 1.7, "i "...irfri.. ,.. .,.!..,... l.n. ..;.-.. structcd under the supervision of : n nothing to take its place.
