Thesubject is agricultural life in France, andthe scene is the great grain-growingplainof La i eauce.

MAGAZINES.The March Century contains several feat-

ures ofromantic interest. First in unique-ness, perhaps, is Mr. Keuuun’s continuationof his revelations in regard to the RussianState prisons. A narrative paper of thrill-ing detail is Capt. Frank E. Moran’s ac-count of the plan ling, mishaps an l finallysuccessful execution of Col. Rose’s Tunnelat Libby Prison, the narrator having beenone of the party who escaped. The articleis illustrated. In “The Horne Ranch,” Mr.Thi*odoro Roosevelt gives orhis graphic papers on the daily life of aranchman. Mr. Albert Morris Bagby write*of "Some Pupils of Liszt,” with especialref-erence to Eugene I)’Albert, Arthur Fried-heiro, Alexauder Siloti, Alfred Reisenauerand Frauleiu Adete au< der Ohe, of all orwhom, as well as of Liszt himself, there are

portraits. A paper of out-of-the-way bi-ography is contributed bv Mr.John Bigelow, in his “FrankliMsHome and Host in France,"’ thehost being M. Donatien Le Ray de Chau-mont. The number contains, also, twofull-page portraits of Bismarck. The fictioncomprises the conclusion of Mr. Cable’s“Au Large,” and thus of his trilogy of nov-elettes, the other two being “Carancm” and“Grande Pointe;’’ also Edward Eggleston’snovel, “The Graysons,” in which AbrahamLincoln appears as a character; and a shortstory by Miss Helen Gray Cone, entitled“Hercules; a Hero.” Toe Lincoln historydeals with “The Call to Arms,” the storyof Sumter being retold authoritatively,the narrative being as before, with the aidof unpublished material. The CenturyCompany, Union Square, New York.

St. Nicholas for March is an excellentnumber. The frontispiece is an exquisiteengraving of "Babie Stuart,” by T. John-son, from Van Dyck’s well-known painting.The first article, “An Ancient Haunt ofPirates,” contains an interesting descriptionof a journey through the little known re-gion where the celebrated Latittes, Pierreand Jean carried on their privateering. Thetrip was taken by Eugene V. Smalley, andthe artist, E. IV. Kemble, and the latter hasmade many characteristic drawings illus-trating his companion’s account of the trip.Ernest E. Thompson has contributed a noveland attractive paper showing what a natu-ralist may read from “Trucks in the Snow,”and the tracks are reproduced so that thereaders may draw conclusions for them-selves. “Edward Athoy,” the plain andtouchingstory of the life of a young Penn-sylvania miner, is begun in this number.It is written bv Roy MoTavish, and isstrongly illustrated by V . 14. Drake. “TheBronzed Kid Shoes,” a charming poem byMarion Douglas, “Two Surprises,” a poemby R. \\". McAlpine, witli illustrations byBrennan, and “A Regular Boy,” by GeorgeCooper, an amusing jingle with equallyamusing pictures by Birch, and the usualpictures and >i partuients, complete this at-tractive number. The Century Company,Union Square, New York.

In the March Magazine of AmericanHistory there is a most agreeable variety ofentertaining and scholarly papers. Thefreshness and timeliness of themes consid-ered in each issue of this priceless periodi-cal are phenomenal. The leading articlethis month, untitled “Historic Cannon Ballsand Houses,”is an animated description ofthe invasion of Connecticut by tee Britishin 1777, and the boid resistant; eof the in-habitants of the town of Ridgefield, byCoL Clifford A. 11. Bartlett, Li,. 8., andthe paper is superbly illustrated, time addinggreatly to the charm of the , anative. Theportrait of Gen. David Wooster, who felllu this encounter, forms the frontispiece tothe number; it is from arare and handsomepicture made in London in 1776. Rev.William Barrows, D. D., contributes a valu-able paper an the “Methodsof TeachingHistory.” R. S. Robertson, LieutenantGovernorof Indiana, tells of the “Escapeof Grant and Meade’’from riding into theenemy’s lines in 1864. Rev. W. W. Camp-bell adds “With Cortez in Mexico, 1519;”Hon. Alexander Hamilton writes about hisportrait of Washington. Magazine ofAmerican History, 743 Broadway, NewYork.

The Overland Monthly forMarch appeal'swith a table of contents that demonstratesthis periodical in its peculiar field. Ii vingM. Scott, who secured for San Francisco thebuilding of two of the United States iron-clad fleet, tells of the peculiar problems in-volved in raising the iron four masted shipEarle of Dalhousie from the bottom of SanFrancisco bay where she sank in 1885, over-turning and partially fillinr with mudas she sank. Horace Davis arguesfor the natural and literal inteipre-tation of Shakespeare's sonnets. CharlesJ. King, son of James King of William,contributes an article of remiuiscenc s ofearly San Francisco. Marion Muir Rich-ardson pa3’s a fine tribute to tha pioneers ofColorado. A California pioneer sketch isalso given by Herman Al schule, “Explor-ing the Coast Range in 1850,” and an Indiansketch, “Shamo-pnri.” J. M. Bancroft’s tripto tho Moqui village of that name. “AStory of Chances” is a bright little tale ofMexican life The Overland Monthly Com-pany, 420 Montgomery street, San Fran-cisco.

The March Eclectic shines brilliantly as anumber of great variety and interest. Itopens with an article b3r Goldwin Smith, on“American Statesmen,” which is apprecia-tive, yet at times caustic. Norman Lock-yer’s new theory of the Univer.-e is suc-cinctly explained in a short paper. Thesecond paper on “Caesar Borgia” will befound very int-resting by historical stu-dents. Mr. W. Logh, Si. 15.,I5

., writes very en-tertainingly conce mug his personal expe-riences in Bulgaria. Jlr. J. E. Muddoekgives a graphic nara ive of the events andplots wnich culminated in the a-sassinationof Alexander 11. of Russia. Students of so-cial problems will have their attention at-tracted to the ar:ide entitled “The Work-less, the Thriftless, and the Worthless,” bythe author of “Social Wreckage.” Profess-or Huxley writes a characteristic papercalled “Science arid the Bishop,” and Mat-thew Arnold contributes a splendid criti-cism cf Shedey as man and poet. E. R.Pelton, 25 Bund street. New- York.

The New Princeton Review for Marchoffers a table of contents at once variedandattractive. The opening article, which isthe chief literary feature of the number aswell, is “Emerson," a study of the man inhis works, by Mr. Gamaliel Bradford. Jr., ofCambridge, Mass. Rev. R. S. MacArthur,D. D., pastor of theCavalry Baptist church,New York, discusses some of the criticalpoints of contact between “Christianity andthe Secular Spirit.” Prof. Alexander John-ston, of Princeton, contributes “Law, Log cand Government,” an important study inlegal and legislative procedure. The nearapproach of a Presidential campaign is tier-added by an incisive critique of politicalmethods, “Practical Politir-s,"’ by WendellP. Garrison, Esq., of the Nation. A. C.Armstrong & Cos.,New York.

In the Writer for March, “The Writingof Speeches" is charmingly discussed byHon. John D. Long. George Alfred Towns-end writes on “TheNewspaper for To-da3',”and Rev. Dr. Lorimer has a bright articlein the series entitled “How I Write MySermons.” "Marketable Literarv Goods,”•‘What, of Dictation ?” "Some NewspaperBores.” "Rejo-•ted Manuscripts,” aid “Re-quisites for Writers,” are titles of some ofthe other articles in an unusual! interest-ing number. The Writer, Box 1905, Bos-ton, Mass.

The Forum tor March has eleven articles,and all of them are excellent ones. Someof them are cjlculated to attract wide at-tention. The Forum is steadily growing ininfluence aid favor. This is due to thequality of its articles and their character,as well as to the evident, determination ofits management to accept articles only fromthe best writers.

The February Sanitarian has a numberof excellent articles. Tho leading one is on“The Mission of the Science of Medical Ju-risprudence," and is bv Amos G. Hull,Another article t hat will be re* I with in-terest, is on the “Tobacco Habit,” and is bythe father of William Th. Parker. 113 Ful-ton street, New York.

THE SLANDERED SKUNK.GOOD TO EAT, TO WEAR, TO LOOK

AT AND TO CATCH MICE.

A Kentucky Trapper Who Knows theMalignant American— Tricks andTraits of the Animal—Mme. Mephitisand Little Ones.

From the New York Sun.Newport, Ky. Feb. 23.—“For three

nights, hand running, I set a No. 2 steeltrap for a fox, and every night I caughtonhr a skunk’s leg.

“Yes, sir, a skunk’s leg. In the snow allaround where the trap was set there wasplenty of fox sign; but when I came to pickup my trap in the morning for the threemornings hand running that was all therewas for me—the fox tail in the snow andthe skunk’s leg in the trap. The bait wasgone and tho fox was gone. The thingstumped me. If that fox had brainsenough to spring the trap with a skunk’sleg, why- didn’t he have gumption enough todo it with a stick? The trap would springon a laurel branch just as quick as it wouldon a skunk’s leg. and laurel was plenty allaround there, while skunks’ legs struck meas being mighty blame scar e.”

With $37 in his pocket, the product of histwo months’ take of skins, Mr. Jabt-z Hull,farmer and trapper from Carter county, satin the barroom of Herman’s Hotel thismorning, smoking a Wheeling stogie andtrying his level best to get his vase out ofhis inn.

“It was along toward tho end of April, inthe full of the moon," he went on, “a,id thething puzzled me so that l lopped out aseat on the middle branch of a -cruli pine,and at dusk the next night, after settingmy trap under the pine, 1 took up a littlecorn bread and w nisky and went on watch.That was how I came to make a specialtyof skunks. I found out something abouttheir habits that night, and that skunks aregood.

“I had been setting there about an hour,anil was so busy watching the 111004roll upover Duke’s Knob, and shine down on thewhite country where I was, that 1 hadn’tno time to lee! cold. Now and then an owlwould flap through the pine scrub, and 1was just scooping my ear over towardJackson’s woods, where I thought I heard acatamount yell, when I saw somethingcrawling along the snow down by tiiecreek. 1 looked close, and blame me if itwn t a short, itripd she skunk, with sevenlittle ones fullering afiur her likekittens after their dam. Thatwas just what they looked like, sevenlittle black and white kittens run-ning along, with their tails up, after theold one. Tuo skunk’s head is mure pointedthan a cat’s, more like a weasel’s,and unlessits body is plain black or plain white it isbound to be striped lengthways from neckto tail. The tail is bushy-, covered withlong hair, and when it is carried in the airthe long hairs float downward like- theplume on a circus horse. There are notmany pure white skunks in the South, midnot a great many pure black ones; but theyrun much blai k r than the Northern skunk,and, although theSout -.ernskunk is smallerthan that ot the North, the difference incolor more than makes up for the differencein size when we bring the pelts ;o market.For a pure black pelt I get $1; for a shortstripe, which means a skunk with muchblack in him, I get 30c.; for a long stripe,from 50 to 60c., and lor a white, not morethan 20c.“It makes a beautiful fur, known among

buyers as the Alaska sable or the Chinesemink, and a barrel of them in the raw aretu t a whiff worse Ilian a barrel of mink ormuskrat. The furrier’s treatment takesaway the scent just as easy as it does fromthe mink skin, and you take my word forit 1 he raw si alskm is just as offensive as theraw skunk skin. The skunk is a dean ani-mal, and a good animal. He is good to eat,and—but I’m getting ahead of my story.

“Wed. sir, the little familycame skippingalong over the snow toward my trap, withthe old lady a good length in the lead. Thetrap was set and covered with it' lightsprinkling of snow, and all around it I hadsprinkled a chicken’s head, part of the legs,and the gizzard and fixings of the samefowl. I was afraid the old lady wouldspring my trap, and if she did there wouldlie no use looking for the foxwith Ins skunk’sleg that night. I had my rifle with me, but1 darsen’t shoot tor the noise. While Iwas worrying and wondering what 1 betterdo, flap, flap, came a big horned o • I < ut ofa persimmon tree on tiie creek’s back, andswoop he went down among the seven littleones, and when he went up again there wasonly six—ho carried the other with him.But he did not get off scott free. At thofirst flap mother skunk was back with herfamily. She only knew one way of light-ing, and when the owl came to the groundshe struck him. I could see him staggerfor a minute, and I thought howould fall; but away ho went withthe little one in his beak, fiv-m a blundering nay as though he wasblind. Its many ami many a dog that 1have seen blinded in the same way, and I’lltiet a liog against a peck of hazel nuts thatwas the dearest supper that owl ever eat.When she saw the little one was gone forgood, oid lady skunk started back home ona dog trot, and you better believe she wnscareful to keep the whole family right byher until she was out of sight. That wasthe first time I ever see anv little ones wbonthere was snow on the ground. They gen-erally are born in May, and from half adozen to ten in a litter.

“At about 10 o’clock a rod fox trotted outof a bunch of black paw bushes, and, withhis tail laid along his back, he made a beeline for my chicken fixings. I couldn’t see110 skunk’s leg about him ani-whero, but Iwatched him mighty close all the same, justto see ■. hat he would do, because that waswhat I was there for. He stopped at oneof m3' boot tracks in the snow, about a footaway from the nearest piece of meat, andfrom that he circled all around the bait andthe trap. He went around ittwice, and then jogged off toto a bunch of laurel in the shn eof a pitie about ten yards from the trap,where he laid himself down and w-ent onwatch, same as I was. He hid himselfamong tiie laurel leaves so th it I could seenothing of him but now and then his eyes,when tie would turn his head so that, themoon would shine on them. I was so busywatching him that I did not see what wasgoing on directly under me until I heardthe snap of in\' trap. From the air thatcame tip to me I know it was a skunk be-fore I looked and >wn, and sure enough, thereit was, a big, long stripe fast by the rightforeleg.

"The fox seemed to know that his busi-ness was done, because he came ou> from bishole as soon as the trap snapped, and wit 12-out waiting for anything he troited downand began to tear at the chicken’s head Hewas careful to keep out of the range of t ieskunk, and every now and then lie wouldmake a dive as though he was about to a-- k the pretty little beast, it's nut manydogs that are fool en nigh to tackle n- km.li,and I was sure that fox never would,but heknew what h was doing, and about thetime the chicken's head was finished theskunk had been lighting so haul tnutiie wasexhausted, and theknowing cus* of a foxwhirled up. and after biting the lif out ofhim, gnawpd off tho leg thut was 11 thetrap, and then dragging the carcass in histeeth h'gan t > make across tiie country. Iwaited until be got in the full blink of themoonlight and then 1 let him have a pillout of my rifle through the head.

“Theair ail around where tiie fight hadtaken place was so thick that I could nottell whether my skunk had ruined his peltor not. but the text day, after I had i cachedhome, I found that the animal’s nature whsso cleanly- that a.ter all that fighting be wasquite as sweet ns a muskrat. While 1 washkinning him the >d*a struck ine that foxeslike chickens, and we eat chickens; whynot, then, if foxes like skunks, shouldn't weeat skunks!

‘*l buried i.be carcass in the snow untilevening,aid then look it into the house and

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1888.told my old woman it wa* a squirrel. Shefried it in a little bacon fat and a sprinkli 'gof corn ine.il, and she ’lowed with mo thatwas the Ixxst squirrel she ov r eat.

“Of course there are tastes and tastes.Some people might not hire it. Lots of mencould not navestood inv experience in thepine trae that night without smothering;nut wjjile I allow' that I am a little tougheriu that matter than most, it’s tnv honestopiuion that clean skunk meat would be asgood in any man's mouth as squirrel. It isall prejudice The skunk is a clean feeder.Give him all the milk and eggs he wantsand he don't want anything else. Manyand many’s the time I have caught skunkswith traps baited with hen’s eggs, and ifmy old woman leaves a pan of milk withinreach, in the morning she usually finds thata skunk has been at it, There are lots andlots of them up in Carter, and Rowan, andElliott, and Ba'h; and a man who don’tmind them, w'ho knows how to trap them,aid who lias a good dog, can help himselfright smart by taking advantage of theskunk crop iu winter.

“They have no cunning like the fox, andin a skunk country it is useless to attemptto trap foxes In-cause the skunks will springthe traps, just as they did forme. Veryoften, wheu caught, they will gna.v offaleg and got away. But they never do thatwith me. I always bend a sapling to theground near where I sot my trap, fasten itthere with a notched peg driven loosely iuthe ground, and tlx the chain of the trap tothe end of the sapling. When the skunk istrapped he pulls at the chain, springs thenotched peg, and sends iho end of the sapling into tho air, carrying the chain andtrap and skunk with it, so that the animalhangs head downward, and cannot get athis leg to gnaw it off, neither can the tox orthe catamount do him that service.

“Sometimes ns many as a dozen skunkswill be found in one burrow in the wintertime. It is in hunting for these burrowstiiat tho skunk dog makes himself useful.More times than not the burrow is nothingbut a hollow log or a hole scooped out of ahillside; but now and then we come acrossone like a mole cave, running along the topof the ground for 0 or 8 feet aud then sud-denly dropping into a nest.

“When he can't got-eggs, tho skunk, likeeverything else, lias to eat what he can get,and without hint many a farmer would beoverrun with field int o* and insects. I’vegot nothing against skunks, even if 1 domake a busiues . of killing them, and themorel see of them the more I like them.They arc beautiful and timid and i loffen-sive, and have only one bad trait, which ismore than I can say for any man I know inCarter county.”

AN AUSTALIAN STORY.

The Death-bed Chapter in ‘‘The Mysteries of aHansom Cab.”

From the London Time *, Feb. It.“The Mysteries of a Hansom Cab,” is the

title of a novel published in Melbournewhich is making a sensation thoro similarto that caused by “Called Back” in Eng-land a few years ago. We extract from itthe following account of the death ofMother Guttersnipe, an old hag who hasttittoh to do with the development of theplot:

“My good woman,” said thedoctor, bend-ing over the bed, “would you not like to seea militate.

She looked at him with her bright, beadyeyes, already somewhat dimmed with themist of denth. and said, in a harsh, lowwhisper: “Why <”

“Because you have only a short time tolive,” said the doctor, greatly. “You aredying.”

Mol her Guttersnijie sprang up aud seizedhis arm with a scream of totror.

“D.vin\ dyin’—no! no!” she wailed, clawiug his sleeve. “I ain't fit to die—cuss me:saveme—save mo. 1 don’t know where I’dgo to s'elp me—save me.”

The doctor tried to remove her hands, butshe heldon with wonderful tenacity.

“it is impossible,' he said, briefly.Tho hag fell back inker bed.“I’ll give you money to save me,” sho

shrieked; “good money—all mine—all mine.See—see—’em—suverams,” and, toaxing herp.lluw open, she took out a canvass bag, andfrom it poured a gleaming stream of gold.G i!d gold—it roli'-rl all over the bed, overt it- floor, away intotb dark corners, yet noo e touched it, so enchained wore they bythe horrible s) otu' le of the (lying womanclinging to life. She clutched up some oft io • iiin ng nieces, and held them up to thethree m niu they stood silently beside thebod, but her hands tr oubled so that, sover-eigns kip' failing fro.u them on the floorwell ini ta lie ciinks.

“All mine—all mine,” sho shrieked,loudly. “Give me my life—gold—money—-cuss ye—l sold my soul for it—save me—giveme my life,” and, with trembling hands,she tried to force the gold on them. Theydid not say al word, but stood silentlylooking at her, while the two girls inthe coaler clung together and trembled withfear,

“Don’tlook at me—don’t,” cried the hag,falling down again,oniid the shining gold.“Ye want me to die, blftrst ye—l shan’t—lshan't—give me my gold,” clawing at thescattered sovereigns. “I’lltikoit with mo—lshan’t die—help—h—” whimpering. “Iain’t done nothin’—let me live—give me aBible—save me,’’and she fell back on thebed, a corpse.

The faint light of the candle flickered onthe shining gold and the (lead face, framedjr tangled whitebait while the three men,sick at heart, turned away in silence to seekassßtauce, with that wild cry still ringing iutheir ears—-

“Hel[i—save me!” and then the awful si-lence.
