A PANTHER HUNT. From an article beaded “A Visit ■to the Indian Pass,” published in the Knickerbocker 'Magazine, we extract the following thrilling'narrative of an adventure of Cheney, the fearless Nimrod of the Adirondacks, with one of those insidious, pitiless denizens of the forest, the panther : “ Many of the secluded lakes in this region are frequented by the otter.— It is, betimes, a frolicsome creature, and it has a curious practice of ‘slid- (ng.’ It chooses a deep declivity end ing in the water, or upon the ice, and there they are wont, for hours togeth er, to enjoy the diverting ‘slides.’ ■ “ Early one winter’s morning Che- ,ney visited a ‘■slide;’ but, lol a .stealthier hunter of the otter had an ticipated him ; ior there, in the snow, was the broad track of a panther.— The lesser game was instantly forgot ten in, the tingling excitement of a dangerous chase. At once he hurried back for his stout old hound, returned, and before noon was upon the track. The boldest hunter will own that there .is more peril than pastime in this .chase, for the alert foe is certain very ..soon to scent the pursuit, when it has a habit of taking to the trees, casting ; its trail, and waiting for the pursuer . at vantage. “ The panther’s spring has become 3 proverb of quickness, and against its agile and wonderful strength, at close quarters, a weapon is of little avail. But this once its craft was op posed to a sagacity never hoodwinked, a vigilance never surprised. The hound was trained in many a charac ter of the foe before them. Cheney held chase, holding his trusty coadju tor in check, keeping him only a few rods in advance, never allowing him out of sight, and at a moderate pace pushed on. “Two of three hours of tardy, pa tient tracking wore on ; not a bush, tree or rock escaped the hunter’s jeal ous scrutiny. Yet he relied mainly upon the acute instinct of the dog to apprise him of the proximity of panth er ; and the noble bound this day proved for the thousandth time, that his master’s trust was well placed; for behold I the sagacious animal be gan to test the laden air by prolonged sniffs, to hesitate with fore-foot lifted, to look backward, and bespeak his master’s attention with low whinnings. These actions signalled the vicinity of the panther. Scenting its pursuers, the crafty animal had, as its habit is, stopped and taken cover. Now all The hunter’s nerve and circumspection were put to their keenest tension; a rod further, and he might bo under the eye of the hidden panther, and in stantly be faced by its overwhelming spring. Beside, the hunter being in motion and the foe in cover, the latter possessed a dangerous advantage in point of discovery. “ Always keeping in the shelter of a tree, he crept on a few rods further. By this time the hound, with back bristling, and uttering low moans, came back to his master’s feet. No urging could force him to move on a single foot without his master. Che ney was sure that at that instant he could not be a dozen rods from the panther; indeed, he was certain that the crowded jam of hemlocks just be fore him was the cover. The hunter held himself sheltered behind his stronghold, an enormous hemlock, and coolly made ready for the final scene of the lonely but terribly exciting drama. He planted his hatchet in the snow, freshly capped his weapon, and got a second charge of powder and lead ready to hand. Now, all peady, keeping his body sheltered, he began to search, inch by inch, and Loot by foot, the dense mass of hem locks beyond. He knows his feline fellow-actor is, there. Yet so perfectly was the panther hidden, that a tortur ing half hour the hunter strained his eyes in vain. Suddenly a quick whine from the hound hugging his feet star tles him; following the dog’s riveted gaze for a moment, lol the dim out line of the cruel savage, by slow, blood chilling degrees, grows upon the hun ter’s view, developing as it were, into aJiape from that dense mass of hem lock spray. The panther was hug ging close to a giant limb in the fork of a tree, scarcely a hundred feet dis tant. It was motionless, save its yel low eyes, which now began to scintil late like sparks of fire. “ It was not a moment for hesita tion. The hunter took a single stride from his shelter, caught a sight, and with the quickness of thought fired.—■ The ball meant for the creature’s .head, only broke its shoulder. The smoke of the discharge had not risen : the panther’s curdling scream of pair, had scarcely riven the forest stillness before Cheney was sheltered and rea dy to try again. Until the panther can get an unobstructed sight, it will hardly ever spring. But the wounded as soon as the first ingredient is dis- 'ariimal was emitting piercing cries, and its powerful tail was wrathfully lashing its flanks. Again the hunter stepped out; it was but a second’s glance, yet he saw the flaming eyes, the stretched and foam-dripping jaws, the ivory-white claws that riveted themselves into the great branch upon which the panther yet lay. The rifle- ball was quicker than the panther’s spring, for just as it sallied ba.ck upon its haunches for the bound, the mis-, sile, this time true, smote it fairly bc- tween the eyes. The shot was in stantly fatal; its steel-sprung limbs relaxing, and the keen claws loosen ing their grip in the wood where they Prill had been half-buried, the panther fell crashing through the branches at the hunter’s feet—dead.” Empress Eugenie’s New Year’s Recep tion. The Paris correspondent of the New York World gives an interesting ac count of the New Year’s reception given by the Empress of France: Her Majesty wore a.mantle of im perial purple trimmed with a white border of ermine. This mantle, un like all the others, fell from the shoul ders and was fastened with diamonds. Her petticoat was of white lace. She wore a tiara and necklace of diamonds, the tiara having been newly set in what is called the Greece or Trojan wall pattern. The train in all other cases is of the same material as the corsage of the dress and is made twice the usual length of the skirt. The Princess Matilda wore a train of cloth of gold trimmed with two rows of Rus sian sable; her neck, arms, and head were glittering will! brilliants. Her highness is said to possess the most valuable diamonds in France. The Princess Clotilda wore a pink silk train and petticoat of the same mater ial,' both trimmed with tails, looped al ternately with roses and bunches of ribbons; her ornaments were all dia monds. The Princess Metternich’s toilet was so very magnifieent-that the Emperor expressed his pleasure at it. It consisted of a cherry colored velvet mantle embroidered about half a yard deep with silver; her petticoat was of white silk covered with lace, and her diamonds, some of which she only late ly came into possession of, are said to be some of the finest in Europe. La dy Cowley, the wife of the English Embassador, being still in half mourn ing for Prince Albert, wore a massive colored train with white petticoat trim med with black lace with the diamonds and feathers which are the usual Eng lish court dress. Another handsome dress worn on that occasion was a satin couleur de Russie, trimmed with black and white lace, the petticoat being of tulle over white silk, and trimmed to match with black lace. In the evening receptions the court mantle, or train, is required to be worn by the ladies—the empress hav ing revived this discarded custom. The wives of the embassadors, of the foreign ministers and secretaries are first received, her majesty posting round and addressing some gracious words to each lady. After this cere mony, her majesty goes into the Salle du Trone and receives her French sub jects seated—these latter being oblig ed to pass through the ordeal of ad vancing and retreating gracefully in their unaccustomed appendage. The ladies of the diplomatie corps carry their trains upon their arms, except for a few minutes which are passed in the Empress’s presence. Mississippi. It has been stated that the con script law had not been enforced in Mississippi. We find in the Rich mond Enquirer a correspondence be tween the lion. Thos. D. McDowell, member of Congress from North Car olina, and the Ilon. E. Barksdale, member of Congress from Mississippi, in regard to the matter. Mr. Mc Dowell asks Mr. Barksdale if it is true that the law has not been enforc ed in Mississippi. Mr. Barksdale re plies that up to a certain date no steps had been taken to enforce the law be cause the order to enrol had not reached the officer charged with that duty—it miscarried—but as soon as the order was received, the enrollment was proceeded with strictly, and the Legislature of Mississippi passed a law to bring into military service those who.were exempted by the Confeder ate law, thus showing that Mississippi has done her duty in placing all her available men in the service. The correspondence between Messrs. Mc Dowell and Barksdale is dated Janu ary 31, 1863.—Charlotte Democrat, —> How to Make Matches. Dr. L. T. Roberts sends the La Grange Reporter the following recipe for making matches : Tako strips of wood and dip them into melted sulphur, and let them dry, which will be done in a minute after dipping them. Then the points of these sulphured matches must be dip^ pod into a composition made in the following manner, viz : Dissolve in at much lower pates than it could be done by ordering, themselves. He is determined his o 1, >1/,. x>xoovivv in work shall not he surpassed, and earnestly hot water gum arable four parts, chlo- > sobrits a Call, at the Sign of the National rate of potassa one part, and phospho- !

This must all be done in a water bath, (like glue is pre pared,) and the mixture must be kept in the water bath while the process of Dipping is going on. The matches are to be thoroughly dried before they are used. Dry in the shade for 24 hours. Cover the mixture closely. Southern .Field and Fireside, BROSBJECTBS.
