Iu the autumn of 1852, aftor having travorsod a great part of tho Western territory, I found myself in tho pleasant and hoalthy little villago of Favettville, in tho north western part of Arkansas. Here, in consequence of the large quan tities of gamo with which tho neighbor hood abounded, I determined to devote few wocks to recruiting my strength, which, owing to tho laborious manner in which I had travelod, had bocomo very much exhausted, and also to enjoy tho pleasure of my favorito amusement —huutiug. Upon ono of my hunting excursions I had boon singularly unsuccessful—not having had a shot during tho wholo day, and, as might bo supposed, felt in a not very joyous mood forupouall previous oecasious I had met with great success. This ill luck caused mo to remain in tho forest much longer than 1 had an ticipated and whou I lirst bogan to think of returning, I found that it was alroady beginning to get dark, aud I had quito a distance to travol through tho forest before reaching tho village. Wi ary iu body and harrassed in mind, in consequence of my want of success, I slowly retraced mv steps. Soou tho dark mautlo of night was spread upon tho forest, and I, as yet, perceived no signs of tho opening. I hastened my stops, thinking, if possible, to reaoh the cloariug ero it became too dark for travol. Easter and fastor I walked, until I found myself going at a brisk trot, although at every step my clothes were torn by tho brush, and my flesh considerably lacerated. Soon, how ever, I was eompellod to slacken my pnto, as it had bocomo so dark that I was unable to distinguish tho treos, and rather reluctantly came to the conclu sion that I would havo to take up my quarters for tho night where I was. As my mind was thus employed, try ing to arrange some plan for my night's accommodation, I was startled by a piercing shriek, as of some person in distress. I stopped suddenly, and en deavored to peer into tho darkness for an explanation. Again I heard tho sound, although apparently at not so freat a distance from mo as tho first. stood then irresolutely. Were it a human being, it would bo my duty to render any assistance that might be in my power, and—At this point of my meditations I perceived through tho underbrush, a short distance from me, two objects close together, resem bling small balls of lire. I had now divined tho cause of the noiso I had heard. It proceeded from A wild animal, and that animal was now watching mo with its lire-like orbs! I immense panther and, as I gazed upon it, I shuddered at what would have been the result, had I not been so fortnnate as to disable it on the first attack. I now skinned the animal, and hastily returned to the village, when, on meas urement, it proved to be ten feet and a hall from tip to tip. Mazcppa's RealS ory. A portrait of Mazeppa, painted from life, has been discovered at Kiof, in Southern Russia, and is being engraved by the Russian academician, Demetery Kowkosky. It will surprise nearly every one who hears that Mazeppa was a real living man, who could sit for his portrait—he seems so like a purely mythical being, like Belleroplion, or like ono of the Amazons. Yet he was a real man, and cut quite a figure in his part of the world some 21)0 years ago. Joan Htephanovitch Mazeppa was a Cossack, who made successful war upon the savage Tartars who desolated Southern Russia, driving them back to the Caspian. This so recommended him lo Peter tho (Ireat that he invited the Cossack to his Court and covered him with honors and gifts. But when Peter sent him against the invading Swedes, umlor Chirlcs XII., ho be trayed the Russian and wont over, with his followers, to tho enemy. Peter de feated them both and drove them into Turkish territory, whero, fearing to fall into tho hands of his former relentless master, Mazeppa killed himself. lie had before this hidden all the treasures which ho hud amassed iu his wars aud through gifts from those ho had served in caverns in tho hills around Kiof. Tho portrait now discovered was probably hidden ut this timo. Tho incident by which alone we know him actually did occur. Ho was by birth a Cossjck, but when vorv 3'oung ho was Bent to servo as a pa^o in the Court of the Polish King. Thcro his beauty nnd bravery won him groat favor, espocially with tho ladies. With one of them, tho wife of a certain no ble, ho was suspected of too great friendliness, nnd tho jealous husband, in revenge, ordered him to be bound naked to tho back of a wild horse that had novor boon rideil. The horse wai a Tartar from tho Steppes, and when loosed ho rushed madly back to his native country, with tho unwilling rider bound to his back. Tho Cossacks recoivod the unhappy youth whou nearly dead with exhaus tion, and ho grow up anions them, re markable for strength aud bravery. Byron got his story out of Voltaire's "Life of Charles XII.," and worked it up into his dashing aud attractive poem. A story so dramatic was at once soized upon for adaptation to the slage, and it was presented as early as 1725 by an Englishman named Huntor. Ho was also a very handsome man aud made a great stir iu London. Tho picture of Ma/.eopa bound to tho horse'a back, Inch everybody knows so well, was painted bv Horace Yernet, ono of the greatest of French nrtists. Yernet, of course, got his in spiration from Byron, to whom wo all owe whatover knowledge wo may have of the brilliant Cossack rider and soldier. Mazeppa's real motives for betraying Peter aro not certainly known. The Poles, who look upon him as a hero, always maintained that he had ia view tho wclfaro of tho Polish nation, and tliey point to tho fact that ho stipulated with tho Sweedish King for tho inde pendence of Poland.—London Ex change, How the Nation (Jrew Rich. The American colonists imported sheep, forbade their exportation and encouraged and even enforced tho spin ning aud weaving of woolen cloth to be worn bv tho people. "William Penn fostered and protected varied homo in dustries aud productions, while En gland, on her part, did what sho could to discourage and suppress colonial manufacturing so the colonies were kept permanently poor. Tho Revolu tionary war acted as high tariff. In 1787, Congress saw the right to levy duties on imports. George Washing ton showed himself in sympathy with tho protection idea by delivering his inaugural address in a suit of woolen clothing manufactured in Philadelphia. It was against tho natural courso of things, "from England's standpoint," when America manufactured anything which England wanted to sell her. In 1S28, America had her first adequate protective tariff. The tariiY of lSti'2, the best the country had ever known, produced a period of unexampled pros perity. Reductions of tariff created hastily raised my ritlo and fired! but financial crashes. The tariff of 1802 as the object was somo distance from me. and not being able to draw a sight, I must havo missed it, for no sooner had I pulled the trigger than, with two or three bounds, it was be fore me. I now discovered, from its close proximity, that it was a panther that much-dreaded and savage animal, which old hunters, oven when well equipped, are loth to meet I drew my hunting-knife, not having time to reload my ritle, and waited for tho fatal spring but to my surprise, the panther crouche 1 down about twelve feet from me, and gazed into my eyes in a manner not suited to lessen my excitement Steadily I watched it, ex pecting every moment to be torn in pieces by the ferocious animal, al though I was determined to defend my life to the last extremity. Once I en deavored to reload my rifle, but the moment I commcnced to move the panther rose, as if about to spring upon mo. I determined, therefore, to keep myself iu readiness for the at tack, for I perceived, from the move ments of my enemy, that should I attempt to move it would bo upon me in an instant. There wo were, in the midst of a dense forest, eyeing each other with a bitter enmity. Thus was I kept in suspense for a long time—I know not how long, for each minute seemed an hour, until the panther, probably becoming hungry, slowly advanced toward me. When within abont six feet of me, it again stopped, and prepared for the spring. I retained my composure manfully, for although I had been much excited on the first appearance of the animal, the length of time that had intervened, and the hopelessness of my case, had given me new strength, and I deter mined that if I must die, it would be bravely defending my life. Suddenly the panther gave a spring. This I had anticipated, and planted myself as firmly as possible, holding my knife in such a manner that the ani mal would jump ttpon it The shock knocked me down but I knew that I had buried my knife in the animal's body, for the warm blood that fell upon me, convinced me of the fact I had not killed the panther, however, for, before I could regain my feet, it was npon me and as I had lost my knife immediately upon.the first attach, I was almost powerless, having noth ing to defend myself with but what nature had bequeathed to me. It again jumped upon me, and we rolled over and over upon the earth. I clasped it with all my power around the body, and from the tightness with which I held it, it was finable to do me much injury. I felt, with pleasure too, that its strength was decreasing, and concluded that the knife must have entered a vi tal part. I held firmly, knowing, that should I relax my efforts death would be the inevitable result Every mo ment I felt the strength of the panther diminish, until finally it ceased its hold altogether. I knew sow that my en emy was dead, in consequence of the wound it had received iu its first at tack and, after I became aware of the fact that its liie was extinct, I began to examine my own injuries, which, al though not severe, were numerous—I found that my breast had been torn con siderably on the first attack. I bound up mv injuries with my handkerchief, as well as circumstances would permit and then, being much exhausted, lay down sear my defunct enemy to rest I lay there upon tlie earth for some time, aad I must have slept for, when I again remember, the first gray atmaka pt waning mn bwewaiaeln was the work of statesmen. Under it we have lived substantially for a quarter of a century and enjoyed a season of unparalled prosperity. Henry Diston sells his saws in Sheffield.

Thompson. A Distressing Possibility. In these days of artificial teeth, bor rowed hair bustles, and other accessor ies belonging to the mysteries of the toilet, not to mention the laying on of powder oud pigments, one is not alto gether startled bv the announcement of a Loudon firm which proposes to mold the form of a woman to almost any de gree. What with the "make-up" and "get-up of the gentle sex, aud the nu merous so-called aids to female loveli ness now in use, it is indeed hard to tell whether we are to believe our eyes or not What are we to thiuk of a cor set possessing such power that "words cannot describe its effect on thinnest or other bust Soft patent "regulators," we are told, delightfully comfortable, laced more or less closely, regulate any desired fullness and roundness of "ideal" beauty, so exquisitely perfect and natural as to defy detection.

Accompanied by Some Notes on the Ever Clumping Styles in Femi nine Attire. The winter beauty will take on con siderably of the beast. That ia to say, sli will make herself picturesque and comfortable, at times and places of cold weather, by means of fur. Hats and mn!!'ers of fur will be fashionable, and a fanciful freak is to exactly match the hair of tho woarer with the hair of the fur, thus producing a curiously pleasing effect. Cold weather comfort is great ly enhanced, of course, by prettiness in the warm garments. The writer lis tened to a fine, robust girl in a store looking for some winter wear. "It's got to be tight-fitting," said she, "for I look so big in anything loose." She tried on a multitude of wraps, nnd finally concluded to get a fur cape, because it showed her waist line. She had a twenty-fottr-incli belt, and was go ing to expose it if she froze. Boas and muffs, for that reason, aro the fashion able outside defense against tough American winters at the North. A woman wrapped in a shapely mantle, edged with handsome fur, is a pretty Spectacle blowiug up tho street Sho may bo cold, but she looks well and a girl begins to understand that point when she is 3 years old. I can prove that, for I had a friend's child out dressed to death. The toad had on new boots, and they were so tight about tho ankles that the fat little leg bulged out over tho top in a painful way. "Doesn't that boot hurt you, Pinkey I asked. "Yeth, it doth," replied the 4-year old "but it lookth nith." And she re fused to undo a button, preferring to "look nith" and suffer. A season ago women said that seal skin garments had no style about them, and they did not care" for them but after all, this year they buy them as frequently as any other cloaks. If we begin to wear fur wraps we ought to keep it up, for there is a perceptible difference in the degrees of heat fur nished by padding, or fabrics of the thickest Kind, and the cold-defyincr pelt of an animal's fur. A woman will shop all day in a sealskin coat, frequenting CO 1.11 WEATHER COMrORT. hot, crowded stores, and then go home, aud for the evening wear a tailor-mado jacket, or a handsome opera cloak, or plush wrap, and for the coldest of the twenty-four hours she will be perishing like a frog in a gar ment utterly insufficient, after the gorgeous warmth of her old sealskin coat In this way some of the active diphtheretic, pneumonic, and pulmonary diseases often find comforta ble quarters in American throats and lungs. With a wet raw atmosphere and a soggy state of affairs under foot, the English women are far more robust than their Yankee cousins, because they invariably wear their sealskin clothes from the beginning to the end of the season—I might as well say all the year round, for you will find in July and August British maids and matrons draped in muslin and sport ing white berege and lawn gowns and wearing seal sacks on top. Then the Enklish foot is a source of grea| merriment to the thin-booted American but the English walking shoe has a sole fit for puddles, and is much heavier than anything a shoe maker can sell in this country. Ameri can girls will not wear clumsy boots, and you cannot have a strong, service able, warm boot made that will be small to the eye. It may be tight enough to pinch like the mischief in side, but the bulk will be there, and a number two foot is to all intents and purposes in a four boot Brocaded velvet mantles, such as shown in the picture, are to be a feature of the season. There was never a material used that wore as long and looked at the last sta.se so well. It never seems to grow rusty, and it never seems to get dusty. The pile of the velvet figures will not crush or show marks, and it never gets like ordinary black velvet, bald in spots but fashion BROCADED VELVET MANTLES has not been kind to this fabric, and bargains can usually be found in it Let me give a tip about using this stuff for gorgeous wrappers. After you have cut the garment, take each piece, and with embroiderv silks of all shades of green for the foliage, and any color TOU like for the flowers, go to work, vein the leaves and with long stitches make radiating spines from the velvet leaves out upon the surrounding background. Bo the same thing with the flowers in shades cf junk, or blue, or violet, as taste inclines. You will produoe, at no expense and little labor, the richest and oddest-looking material, eminently suitable for a winter wrapper. Newmarkets have been evolved from their original ugliness into exceedingly stylish garments and the streets will, as the season advances, be enlivened by them. But they are not for careful oc casions, and rich ladies will loo\ in their calling toilets lile the figures in the ensuing illustration. They will, in a de gree, even with the most pretentious, displace the more mannish sorts of tailor-made coats. Last winter you couldn't tell be from she in a theater seat or a church pew, aad aa long as a masealine type of woman kept her feet under the counter, the clerk sakl "So, air," *Yei, air," with a degree of confidencebttn*,o« by all thatwas viaiWeof the CTgtOfaer. „A little Ger ksr afoO»r dh waa 4Mt it WW -MHM «-..» "You see," said she, ladies got BO mad for the dress made of man. I had me to get a stick of a feliow who all he know was to the tape pass over their shoulders and the waist round, and cry out 3(5i, 244, and then he must be close watch or he give it wrong." The little woman then cut and made the garment, while tho wretched tape measurer drew a salary and posed as proprietor. This year the tailor-mado suit is not tho mlo, and so she mayrun her business in propria persona. Tail or-made suits admit of too little variety to please the run of women. There is a resemblance in each io the other un pleasant to a world fond of change. The simple runs of stitching or bands of braid soon tired the luxurious fancy of dressy woman, and so the tailor made female is much scarcer than she used to be. It is in the jaunty chort jackets like the four examples here given that tailor-making retains its popularity. Some of them are short, single-breasted and very close fitting, beingsinooth even over the small tournure that is now so well worn. Such jackets are so smoothly and so elaborately trimmed that buttons are dispensed with, lioo! and eyes being used instead. Short cloaks of cloth are given a new effect by having wide fichu collars of plush that cover the shoulders and are pointed in front. Long cloaks are made in a loose shape that follows the outline of the figure in a graceful fashion, and are also more comfortable than the closely fitted garments. Young ladies wear for carriage wraps round cloaks of half length, falling just below the hips, and somewhat like the Talma capes worn long ago. Thero is one magnificent trait about the simon-pure article. A seam sewed by a man does not rip. A button sewed on by a man does not come oil' drap ings tacked by the masculine hand are done to stop. The best dress-makers throw their gowns together. They have a multitude of apprentices. The madam cuts your dress, her draper drapes it that is, she pins things the way they must be done then a cloud of assistants tackle it. One girl does the buttonholes, another makes the underskirt, a third bones the waist then the tacking is done where the draper leaves tho pins, and on the first street corner you come to grief, and have some one tell you "your skirt is dragging," where some of this hot needle and burnt thread dressmaking has been done. The last dress that the writer had made she insisted that the pins should bo left in to re enforce the tackings. The operation entails much suffering. The air is rent by smothered yells as she is penetrated by these pins in cars and cabs, but she does not come to pieces.—Chicago Ledger. Skirls ami Ov»r*kirt.q. The white muslin skirt is pleated perpendicularly the overskirt of the same and pleated in a like manner, forms two large wings, which fall on either side and are joined together be hind in a very moderate-sized puff the plain low corsage is made without sleeves, but a white muslin scarf encir cles the right arm, passes across the upper part of the corsage in front, is wound around the arm, and extends along the top of the back of the cor sage to the right arm, the point of de parture. On the scarf upon the right shoulder is perched a butterfly in gold filagree work a similar butterfly is fastened above the forehead in the hair. It is the image of Psyche. There is absolutely nothing more, not a bow of ribbon or a flower nothing but the white muslin drapery, enveloping the young girl like a cloud. Various asliion Note*. LACES of all varieties will be seen in evening costumes in combination with other fabrics. THE lower edges of s'iirts are usually finished with braid, which is applied flatly underneath. EVERYTHING Russian is now the fash ion—Muscovite dresses, By/antine gal loons, gold stuffs, Russian colors. SHOT cloths are new woolen stuffs woven in two colors, so as to give the "changeable" effect now so fashion able. FOR evening wear at home are pretty Henrietta cloths in light shades, the texture as soft as silk and beautifully fine. DARK Russian green, terra cotta, and golden brown appear to be the prevail ing colors just now for promenade cos tumes. THE reign of glitter in dress will soon be over, beads and beaded trim mings being rapidly driven to the background. THE invoice of French and India cashmeres is uncommonly large this season, the range including patterns in deep, rich, winter tones, in mono chrome, or handsomely figured in con trasting colors. THE new plaids bear but little resem blance to the Scotch plaids of other seasons, many of these being only fine lines of plush or velvet which cross each other at different angles and often are mixed with a slender gold thread. A HAXDSOME weddim garment for a matron has the front of white satin, four plea tings being laid across the petticoat, and draped witn black lace flounces. The square-necked corsage and long court train are of black and white striped satiu, the stripes being about an inch wide. Black lace trims the open uare at the neck and the half-long sleeves. A DEBUTANTE'S gown should be the very simplest, and withal the most be coming dress that can be made. Her vouth, not her gown, is supposed to be her attraction. I.Rce dresses will be worn again this winter in both black and white. For these, as for other gowns, a simplicity is very noticeable. A pretty white dress lately seen was made up with i-ilver goods, and silver ornaments completed the costume. SmrLiciTV is the watchword of fashion. A dress must look as .simple and as elegant as possible, but tn:a same simplicity ,is nothing else than the most refinetl and consummate art Each touch of drapery, each line and each fold must be artistic and perfect in its way, hut it must look the very essence of simplicity itself. Folds are ca'led the simplest decoration, there fore everything is arranged in folds aa pliant and graceful as they are varied. ENGLISH wraps of pilot cloths, rough tweeds, pi aided and checked English worked cheviots, smooth oamePs-hair goods crossed with dingy lines at deep color and diagonal bonrettes, are very fashionable* The wraps will have large pointed hoods, red silk linings and very large pocket flaps. In many cases these wraps will match the gowns and will be trimmed with braid or em broidery. Others will be in simple tailor style with machine stitched edges. Tbe Newmarkets will be richly decor ated with ropliwte ia silk end with handsome bramlenbargs and aguifr ettes to match.
