They toll of the Southern man bunting the negro down as he would a vrolf, and they would Lave you believe that be has no pity nor moray for him when he breaks the law. Thou were Southern men, and they knew that rape or murder bad driven that black man to encounter the perils of the great awamp. It was pity for him—it was pity ia their hearts which took the group out of his sight that he might not fear to land. It was to give him a chance for his life. I did not understand for a moment. Then a groan from one of the Men cruised me to raise my head. There was a ripple in the still yel- low waters of the bayou. lc was to the left, and in three seconds there was a second to the right. "Heie drowned V" whispered one of the men, as he handed ine a glass. .As I looked there wore more ripples—a dozen swirls and splashes—a commotion as as of a smote of swimmers, and directly aavr a monster alligator rear half his length out of the water. • You may have seen inen die in their beds or on the field of battle, but. did you ever see a strong man fight for Ms life against terrible odds and finally go down? It is so with a man when the deadly undertow clutches him. It isi so when he is pulled down by wild beasts. Terror blanched this man's black faoe to the color of ashes when he realized his peril. It wade him treinblit like one in a chill, He opened.his mouth to shout, but no sound came. From every portion of that bayou there was a rush of saurians—twenty—fifty —a hundred—a thousand, it seegied to 4110 by the splash and coramotion4 A brave man may weaken at peril, lidt reaction comes and he dies game. *e In one minute that black man shookoff the fear which chained him, shtit " his teeth hard, and the fire of desperation burned in his eyes as it does in those of a wild beast brought to bay. He beat at the black heads and snouts with his pole—he used it as a club anb a spear, and for five minutes he kept them oft. lie was still equarter of a mile from us, I saw him calculate the dia. trace with kis eye. Then be looked around at his foes. just then a monster saurian reared itself half ite length upon the raft, determined to be first at the least. With one powerful blow the pole was broken over the reptile's head,a pieoe flung aside, and with a short run and a panther•like leap the negro seemed to clear the circle closing insm him. In a few seconds his head appeared and he struck bravely out, while we now show- ed ourselves and encouraged hire by voice and gesture. He had made fifty feet and was oleaving.the water with a strong arm, when he suddenly sprang break -high above the surface, uttered one awful cry of agony and was drawn down to be no more. ,The waters were all lashed and vexed until the muddy waves ran to our feet, but the turmoil gradually ceased, the reddish tinge WAS absorbed by the yellow, and in ten minute's after he disappeared we saw nothing but the overturend raft drifting down to lodge in a tree -top.

FISHING- IN THE GANGES. --- Native Devices ter Capturing the Floury Tribe. - Many years ago when the Eastern Bengal Railway only reached the Ganges at Koosh - tee, it was my fate to heat to journey east- ward to D4oca in a small native boat with six oars. We went swiftly down the main stream of the great river by daylight, but when it began to grow dark and we wanted to stop for the night we had to row for a long distauce inland till we reached the site of a village, where a large tree enabled us to secure the boat wifely for the night. In such a world of waters it is only natural that the Ash have a fine time of it. And on the other hand, the inhabitants oi the cotes - try have 4 gee time of it with thefieli. The people are nearly all ichthyophagists, and many of them take great delight in catching fieh. Thereare certain, (Maws of familiee, who are fishermen by birth and infter(tanCe. These persone make their living eolely by catching and telling Afin When the swollen rivers hey& retired within, their proper banks, and the main, body of the fish have retreated with them, there is no Ceseation of the sport to those anglers who km in the villages eltUate4 Mer the rivers.

It Wail a very greet favor to he Wowed to Ash in the teak; and itereetimee, when Mende who were feed of fettling came to May with me, I used to ask for leave to take them to it. .A. dity'a notice bad, to be given, no that partzeular spots might be Wellbaited te attram the fielt. Independ- ently of the ground -bait thrown In, eatne long, thin tomtit:toe Were prepared, to be fixed upright in the water ; and at about a. foot from the bottom, a bag or boodle of worms in moss was fastened to the bamboo So mo attract theesh and mkt* them try to knot* the Wetme ottb of the beg When We went forth with our rode. the dims Were al* ready plurnhodkand the floats adjukod, ro that the hookwIth the bait an it would hang at the tame depth as the bag of worms ate tubed to the betnboo. We mulcts:ea the top of the bamboo above the water violently elution as a big fish worked his nose nodose the bag of warm, Then, gently dropping our batted hook doe to the bamboo, le hung almost parallel to the bag of worms an the bamboo. There Was seldom much time to walk The fish, teeing a worm which he auppoled Met he had dislodged from the bag by his own effort, came at it end emit - lowed, it and the dieeppeeranco of the float quickly allowed that he was making off for deep water. It was expedient to let him get away with some line, so that when we began to play him he might not disturb the other fish that were collated round the baited place. Sometimes a big fish gave no time for any snob delicate treatment, and he would go right off on PEIGLINO TUB Tonna or TICE BOOK so that both line and rod bad to be let go after bIm4 Then we need to get into a small native boat and ohevy the fish all about the tank wherever the rod came like a buoy to the eurface, until ablest he be. came exausted by his unwonted struggles and finally allowe& himself to be* brought =kr the boat enamoured in the landing net. This was the most royal road to flailing that I ever knew. It was almost a certainty that a big fish would bite within a min- ute. If two or three of us began simul- taneously on different sides of the tank we were Simon sure each of us to hook a iish immediately. And when one big EA had been caught and landed, and'peace and quiet had been restored, it was potssible to go back to the bamboo rod with its gag of worms, and to drop the line in again and catch another big fish. I have caught as many as seven large fisk in one afternoon at the same bamboo. But alas ! the good times of that tank are pastand gone. Family quarrels'arose and the tank was despoiled by the enemy and nearly all the fish were stolen, and then the weeds were allowed to grow unchecked until they becamea,snoh a tangled mass that it was impossible to land a 'fish even if it were hooked in 'some clear spot. There is a form of fishing much practiced by the natives of Bengal, for which I envied them, though 1 was unable to imitate them. They are most dexterous in the use of the casting net. The passenger on The railway, aa he travels through the 'nand ed country on either side of the line, moo • ee many a tiny boat, made of the hollow. trunk of a palm tree, with two men in it. ,Oneef them site in the stern, and with his paddle quiet- ly propels the boat. The other stands erect in tbe bow, with his casting -net ready for oast the moment that his qtuok eye detects the motion of a good fish or of a shoal of little ones. It is hardly necessary to say that he is veryseantily clad and the muscles stand out ever his well knit frame in a shape which a soulptor might gladly copy. If the educated natives ever take to soulp- ture, they oan hardly find a more picturesque model ;than the fisherman with his misting net: Our best fishermen in England might envy the skill and preobdon with which the net hi belt. Nor is it wonderful that the nativee attain such ekill in casting. They have been trained to:it from their youth up, and scarcely a day passes that they do not spend several' hours in photice. Perhaps THE MOST ASTONISHINO THING Is how they preserve their balance , and do not upset the boat when mating the neff, for the boat is, merely the round trunk of a palna tree without any sort of keel, and many. an'Englishman who •has tried a yen - tare m one of these dug-outa, as. they are called found the treacherous bark turn round and upeeb him into the water. After a long appreaticeship 1 otteined some skill in toddling myself along in a dug -out, and I have fired many a shot from one sitting down; but it was never within my power to stand up and attempt to fire a gun or to throw a casting net from them_ If oar superior oriffization has now taught us to eat fish with special knives and forks, in superessaion of the fork and bib of bread with which in formerdays we chased the evasive morsels on our plate, it must be admitted that; after all, nature's implements, our fingers and thumb, are the BEST SUITED FOE HATING BONY It has often been my fate to watch my native boatmen eating their Meals of rice and thgh, and it was wonderful to See how deftly they picked out the bones, or, ies, they calt OM In their ewe language, "the therm.' Many fish have A superabundance of bones, as we well knew to our cost, but the delicate ilogere of a native seem to be sensitive to the tottelt of the almost luvie ible little points or spines.
