There Are uow in the park thousands
of elk so tame that ft person can ride or
walk about among them.   The General
says he is reliably informed thai one
hunter   has  slaughtered  as  many as
seventy-five of these animals in a single
day.   They are not slaughtered for their
moat or akin, but Bhot down, ohiefly for
tho pleasure of killing them.   Besides
the elk, there aro many antelopes, deer,
Rocky    mountain   sheep,   and   bears.
■Grizzly, cinnamon,   browa  and  black
bears   abound,   and   flocks   of    fifty

Some years ago a large vessel, laden
with a mixed cargo, was bound to New
York from South America, Striking a
sunken reef off the dangerous shore of
Hayti, she waa wrecked, and very few
of the passengers or seamen escaped.
The owner, who was also the Captain,
was drowned. His heirs lived in New
York, It appears the vessel had settled
down on the bottom, having escaped the
attack of any storm, so, as might be supposed, her cargo would be pretty well
recoverable, but it was a useless and
foolish attempt to try to get anything
from her in a lonely sea and on the dangerous coast. However, one of those
men whom nature has formed for the
out-of-the-way modes of , getting

as the last of it disappeared I guessed

across my mind—a bag of money. I
quietly asked Crow what it was.
" Humph 1 notuing. What have ye
to do with it?" he growled.
My curiosity was further aroused by
this answer.
" Well, you must tell me what it is,"
I said, keeping myself as quiet as pos-
sible.

" Then yon shall be forced when we

their chances with tho herd. They are
extremely docile, and, as tho females

profitable, tho animal selling when

Mather says a well-broken camel will

Why (Mil,- Changes Color.
It is well known that the human body
contains humors and acids, similar in
action to, and having a like tendency
toward, baser metals, ns nitric and sulphuric acids have, namely, to tarnish or
dissolve them, varying in quantity in
different persons ; of this theory we have
abundant proof in the effects which the
wearing of jewelry produces on diller-
ont persons. Thousands wear continually, without any ill-effect, the cheaper
class Of jewelry* with brass ear-wires,
while if others wore tho same article for
a few days they would be troubled with
sore ears; or, in other words, the acids
contained in the system would so act on
the brass as to produce ill results. Instances baV6 occurred in which articles
of jewelry of any grade below eighteen
carat have been tarnished in a few days,
merely from the above-uamfid cause.
True, these instances ore not very frequent; nevertheless, it is as well to
know them, aud they_ are sufficient to
prove that it is not iu every case the
fault of the gqodsnot wearing well—fts
it is generally called—but tho resnlt of
