FLORIDA ALLIGATORS. From the Waverly Magatine. While I was at Lake Jesaup, say ' Florida correspondent, I went alliga hunting with Judge Emmons, ol Jack sonville. We found a twelve foot alli gator Bleeping on the top of the water about twenty fret from the shore, uour a small grove of palmettos. The Judge put a rillo ball diiectly through the al ligator's skull. The ball made a ter rible hole. The alligator was as dead as a mackerel. We slipped a rope around his shoulders, and- towed him ashore. While the mouster'liiy in the water, and we were debating as to how we should get his head oil', I jabbed a stick through the bullet hole dowu into his brain. A colored man who was passing by said: " Boss, you done be careful with dat ah gaitah. He no gone dead yet. You better stick your knife in he forepaw to see ef he dead, lie done do you some mischief, boss, auah, if he no dead." I took my knife out of its sheath and ran it into the alligator's forepaw. The monster lashed the water with his tail, almost knocking the judge into the lake, and nearly putting out my eyes: When I recovered my eyesight, I saw the judgo, but not the alligator. The ani mal had sailed off, stick and all, and left no track behind him. ' The largest alligator in the State of Florida can be found near Pepper Ham mock on Banana creek, at the head of Merritt's island. This animal is known all along' the Indian river. Captain Dummitt told me that thtsalligator is cer tainly over twenty feet long. Dummitt says that he has seen him in his present quarters, off and on, over tweuty-five years. The captain thinks him at least one hundred years old, and probably more. Over a dozen hunters have Bpent days trying to kill him, but though Borne have g9t shots at him, none have been successful. His hide turns the bullets as a duck sheds rain. His hole is under a high bank, and covered with a growth of moss and rushes. I camped four days at Pepper Hammock, aad this alli gator's roar kept me awake at night. It sounded like distant thunder. One morning Dr. Fox, my companion, ran a wounded deer into the shallow bay fronting tho alligator's hole. A large yellow dog called Bluster was on the trail of the deer, and ran into the water after him. When the alligator heard tho baying of the dog, be gave chase. The doctor reached the bauk and took in the situation. As he had wounded the deer, and chasing it, and expecting it every moment to drop, his riHe was not loaded. He Jjegan to shout loudly nt tYia finer anil t.hnn ran into the water ,' after the alligator. The monster beard the doctor coming, droppea the chase anQ 'led into nis noie. ine uocior was much fxcited. He thought the world of the dog, Qd said that he had almost rather haVB lost a leg than have lost B'lf There is one thing in the world that an alligator loves more than any other one thing it is a dog. Ihe bark of a dog will frequently bring a dozen alliga tors to the surface of the water. Hunt ers occasionally take their dogs on horseback while crossing the shallow water or very swampy place. When an alligator heari the baying of a hound he always puts for a ford, it there is one in the vicinity, hoping to catch the dog when he comes that way. Young col ored children are also said to be rare dainties (or alligators. The greatest alligator hole1 in Florida on the ocean side of the Indian river, Bljout twenty miles above Fort Capron. jt ;g situated in a fresh water swamp, back M dense growth of mangroves. This he' hout sixty feet wide at the mouth, ui it r' Unce undef the ground, and appears to be a paradise alligators. It is about a mile from a i.'Ule palmetto hut where a Georgian name. Me has ived alo over fifteen years. .Hstes protec a th' alligators and will alio.' " them. . , ., . r -...:.. Some years ago the laiuer s ..p.-... Watson of this place visited uhe low end of Lake Monroe to hunt stray JiPps. The Captain is a little man, with Wp, gray eyes, and quick of foot, While roaming about over the marsh and hal looing for the hogs he was suddenly seized by an enormous alligator and hurled in the mud. The alligator caught him by the leg and stripped the flesh to the bone. The old man was ter ribly wrenched, and for a long time Ms recovery was doubtlnl. It was six months before he lea his bed. This is the only well authenticated case that came to my notice in which an alligator attacked a man. Some people think that while Wauonwas walking over the marsh he took the alligator for a log and jumped on him. It certain that the animal seized Wataoa by the leg and nearly broke the old m t"-k b7 tlow irom his tail. , ... , Alligators frequently fill their stom ach with ducks. They nod the apotl BLIC in the marshes where the ducks huddle together at night and make a descent upon them, frequently, while (locks of great fat raft ducks are swimming in the deepest part of the river or lake. an alligator will glido under the ducks and select those that suit him best They are drawn under the water so quibtly that the tlock is not startled for some time, and the alligator manages to secure a square meal before he is sus pected. On summer nights the alligator crawls to a chosen spot iu the marshes. . The air is tilled with millions of mosquitoes. The monster opens his enormous mouth and keeps his jaws apart until the in sido of his mouth is black with the in sects. Then he brings his jaws together with a snap, runs his tongue about the inside of his month and swallows his winged visitors, lie will keep this up until his appetite is satisfied. The Hon or Hain. From th Cornhill Macasine.l But thouch the negro is an African, all Africans are not negroes. There are the same varieties to be observed in the descendants of Ham as in those of Shem and Japheth. All are distinctly African, but the retreating forehead, prominent jaws and ill-formed body with which the neero is cenerallv credited are not com mon. It is not only the Manvema, of whom we have lately beard from Ur. Livingstone, who are beautiful in form and feature, for I have met with their counterparts in regions less unkuown. In South Africa there is a remarkable illustration of the physical and mental differences which may exist in tribes that are almost contiguous. The Bos jesmen are dwarfed in body and stunted in mind. Their Iangunge in its utter ance seems to be not far removed from the unintelligent gibbering of the ape. ibsir habits are those ot wild beasta ratner than of human beings. They occupy about the lowest position in the scale of humanity, Yet we shall look in vain for finer specimens of the genus homo than the Zulu Kafirs. They are tall in stature, manly in bearing and graceful in movement. Their language is pleasant to the ear, and capable of ex pressing almost any thought the human mind is capable of conceiving. They are logical in reasoning, patient in argument and acute in observation". They are war like, for they are pastoral in their pur suits; and since the days of the Hyksos, the old shepherd kings who were tho ter ror of Egypt, the lovers of flocks and herds have been fond of fighting. When their blood is up their anger rages un checked by tender regard or the claims of pity; but they do not brood over their wrongs, and they readily forget and for give. "They fought us like men, and during a truce they behaved themselves like gentlemen," was said of them by . a friend of mine who had been engaged in war against them. In times of peace they are courteous to strangers, liberal in hospitality and to the trust reposed in them they respond with an Arab-like fidelity. When once the host has kissed the haHd of his guest there needs neither guards nor weapons, for his lifo and property are perfectly secure. It is quite true that they, in common with all Afri cans, are black, or nearly so, yet you cannot be with them or with other of the higher races, of Africa long without feeling that the' affinity between them and the fair-skinned man is perfect in every material point, aud the sympa thies of a common nature soon bridge over tho chasm which at first seems to exist between ourselves and them on ac count of the differences of color, Tbe Sexaa In Crime. Dr. Edward Jarvis, ot Boston, read a paper before the Social Science Con vention at its late session, on the ratio of sex in crime. Ho stated that the criminal statistics in this, country and England, show that the crimes of male offenders are mostly against persons and property, in which the aggressors intend to gratify or benefit themselves at the expense of others. On the other hand, more than three-fourths of the offenses of females are against their own healCt, peace and interest crimes of sensuality, as the doctor terms them, which required no aid of the intellect, no plan, no purpose, no reason. Hence he says that the crimes of men are mainly crimes ot selfishness, while those of women are crimes of self-sacrifice. Women, he asserts, repeat their offences more frequently than men; 100 males went to prison 182 times, and 100 females were imprisoned 316 times. The. offenses of males are of graver nature and more injurious to society. The doctor said, however, that even in offenses of intemperance and sensuality, the male offenders outnumbered the females, but society is far more lenient and forgiving to the sinning man than the sinning woman. Miss Mary Carpenter, an English re form lecturer, who had recently come to this country, wished the audience to remember that a bad woman can do an amount of harm that no man can pos sibly do. She had known many children to grow up well with a bad father, bnt she bad never known any to grow up well with a bad mother. The argument in behalf of the transcendant impor tance of woman's work in the home circle could not be stated more power fully or in fewer words: Solomon's vir tuous woman will do more for the refor mation of the world than Solomon him self ever did in all his glory. Ur. Mary ' l.e) Ra-vlalta her Id Heme. From tbe Alexandria Sentinel. The widow of General Robert E. Lee. 1 ughter of Georg W. P. Custis, and ow er, as she is, of the Arlington estate, ha been in this city for aome time, tbe guest of her relative, Mrs. FiUhugh, as we have formerly announced. Yesterday she improved the pleasant weather by taking a drive in an open carriage to her old home. She was accompanied only by Miss Mary IUoyd and hT colored servant girL After driving aronnd town, she took tbe road, and an hour's pleasant drive brought ber to Arlington at 11 o'clock exactly. Mrs. Lee did not got out of the carriage, but gazed with frelings we cannot, perhaps, fully appreciate on all that she had once known in those happy dayi when she was miilreuof that mansion, and dispensed iu famed hospitalitie"on many a well remembered sceueand dear, familiar spot:" bnt ah! so sadly changed and all I She drove to the old, famous spring, and there the car riage was supped, and she rcc eivej and drank a (las of it cooling water, and Mi Llojd gathered tour of the beauti ful flower growing there.

Tbia i tho way the irreverent "Jen kin," of tbe lUcky Mountain New, reports society new: By way of variety, between often recurring instances of matrimonial adventures, we lake pica sure iu chronicliug, a an event highly spiced with romannn, the marriage of l'iah, chief of the Ne-va-va Utes, and Mis Minnehaha, only daughter of " Dutchman," medicine man and no trum vender of tho same band. Tbia interesting social event occurred at the I'le camp, ou Cherry creek, a few mile south of the city, on Thursday of last week, and wa celebrated is the true Indian fashion, being followed by gifts to the fatber-iu-law, who i one of the most successful present takers iu tbe West, l'iah, through one of those awk ward dispensations of Providence, was bereft of his squaw last winter, while oiT on a buffalo hunt, and notwithstanding he has paraded hi sorrow in a perfect ly decorous and befitting manner, he has all along felt there wa some thing more to live for, and that some thing appears to have disclosed itself in the shape and garb of " Dutchman V daughter. Miunehahais about twenty, with round, plump limbs, pretty, reas suring features, surmounted by a profu sion of uncombed locks that loaf on the geutle zephyrs. Piuh is a broad-shouldered, manly looking fallow, who, how ever, contrary to the usages of Cherry creek society, disregards the convention alities of neckties, suirtu and panta loons, though he wears a cuticle, the expressions aud color of which certify the excellence of country made soap. He is a tolmcco annihilator of tremen dous capacity. On Friday, Piah, pro vided with a permit from tbe Indian agent, Major J. B. Thompson, took his wife on a bridal jaunt to Cheyenne, re turning Sunday. Piah and his wife will spend the summer in Middle Park. General Meacham thinks Captain Jack the best of the Modocs after all. He says he was the first and most persistent advocate of peace, but whenever he talked in its favor some of the tribe would throw a shawl over hi shoulders, or put a woman's bonnet on hi head, signifying that he was a coward; and to their taunts and jeers he at lost yielded.
