While tho I'uitcd States Court was iu
session at ,tlie other day several old
residents of the back counties were in
attendance on the court. Among them
were two brothers, Samuel ami James
Uano, who bad come from Suiith l'ork,
I'cndlctou County. They were typical
old school Virginians, and around llie
hotel lire at night they loll to reminiscing
about the old days of their youth and the
men of nerve mid inusclothcy bud knuwn.
Finally ihu conversation drifted to a dis
cussion of a hysical giant named Frank
Sutherland, and of this bistotic charactir
Samuel Uaun told this story :
" I ve seen some pretty powerful men
in my time, began llie venerable Virgin
ian, "but that man Sulbi'ilniid beat them
ail. Frank always said he believed he
could whip a bear uith bis lis!; hut nolle
of us ever thought he would have much
of a show in such a boxing inati h, be
cause we all knew the hi ar.s around the
iiiouiilains wire pretty quick and struck
terribly heavy blows wiib their hairy
lists Hut Sutherland got mi opportuni
ty tot-.st bis piowess iu this direction
just when ho waMi't looking for it. One
afternoon, while he was out dcirhunting,
he shut a deer and woiindid it. Tie
ib'er sprsng into the laurel and went
crashing down the mountainside. Think
ing be hud killed the buck, Sutherland
started after the animal without reioadit g
his l'uu.
"lie had gone le.il a few yards when
he i nlerid a small opn.ii:g in ihe limb r-bru-b,
and light in the untie of it. curled
up in a hole at the fi ot ol a fallen trie,
lay a tri uicndotis black bear. The bear
had been taking a nap. and was rudely
awakened by Sutherland's shot, for be
was just rising to his It 1 1 when Sutlur
land came opposite him. For a lew si c
omls Sutherland thought first of reload
ing his gun, but that was impossible.
Then he clubbed bis nlle and nwaiiid
the bear's attack, liifore l'rtiin bad
fully made up his mind what dn the
thought slunk Snt hoi l:i mi that he bad
oftt n bea.-ttil that hccoiildwhip a bear
with bis lists, and hi re was the oppor
tunity. iou wcut the gun and off
went Sutbirlaud's hunting jacket. The
bear got up on his bind feet and ciinie
slowly up with his paws hanging down
iu front and his little eyes daucing with
mischief.
'Sutherland had the longest arms 1
ever saw, and ibis length of reach n 'W
stood him in good play. As soon as the
bear got close cuough the hunter struck
straight out from the shoulder and hit
him a terrible r.ip on the in sc. The
uose is the tuidcrest purt of a bear's
auatomy, and ihe blow must have hurt
him tenibly, lor he drupp 'd on all fours
and whinul, but ho was up mid at it
again in a few secouds, madib-r than ever
This tiui'i Sutherland got in a good blow
on the bear's right ear and lauded an
other on his left eye. Hown went the
hear again, knocked lt.it this time, but he
wasn't whippe I by a long sh it, lie got
up and went ovt r in Sutherland's corner,
moving his short forearms, with their
long claws opening aud closing in a vi-
ci his uiuiincr. Sutherland waitcj until
h.' was close enough, when he struck him
in the side with ail his force, but unfor
tunately the hunter's l'i..t slipped, and
before he could recover the bear gave
him a smashing blow on the shou der,
which knocked him down. The bear
was ion badly wound d by the huntei's
iast bl w to take advantage uf hissucces
before his antagonist could get t-n his
feet.
'Su Jierliiiid was noir as ma 1 as the
bear, bill he had also Icarucd caiiiioii.
The two cum'jatauts slowly appnuched
each other, when the hunter iiuickly
feintid with his left and, before the bear
could recover, let hi iu have another blow
wuh his light on the Uose.
- This whs a stunner, and before bruin
kmw it h - had rtsrived half a it. i n
blows over the eyes, iu the side and an
oilier on the ihroat. whi. h made hi. teeth
eh. 00 r. Tlie Ih'hi diopped upon all fours,
walked oil a few yaol. mid lay down
whining like a wh pp d child. Siiiher
laud waited a moment and, soring no in
dications of a resumption on the part of
.lieLsr wiik...( . 1 1 ih -ini ii il nnd
pnV.-il It i in with his g in
Tue w.nily pugiii-t sot slowly upon
Ids feet, looked doubtfully at Ins antago
nist and eoiieludud to try one in ire round.
This round was the last. Sutherland
stru' k the creature nn bis tender spot
the n s" with his lel'i, and, putiiii.' iu
all his f.,rcc, bin led his rinlit on the aui
mul's jaw, completely cmahin'i it. This
was en ugh for theleir. Iledioppel
upon his lour fe.-t and tried to make otf.
Sutherland, Having fairly whipped hiiu
ill a sipiaie lo.-ht, didn't propose to lose
his meat, and before the animal eould
get many yards away in his weak aud an i
batten d eoinliii-.n he had reloaded his
lifle and shot hiiu Ihroii'.'h th head
' siutlnrland earth d that bear, which
weighed about tlir-e hundred and fifty
pounds, over ha'f a mile tu our house,
and threw him d wn in the yard.
"I helped skin that aniiu il," comilu
ded Mr Oano, "an J I am free tn say
that I never saw as many bruised in Dry
life. Why, the beast was one mass uf
black and red spots. His jaw was cer
tainly broken, and two of his ribs oared
in. No wonder he didn't want to Ight
tBJ mors."
A miter in the lla'.liiuore Sim gives
an elaborate sketch of the auecstry and
home of Amcliu Ilives Cbanler, whose
novel, ' I he Q lick or the Dead,,' made
her world famous in a day, as it were.
Alfred 1.. Hives, the lathe' of the au
thoress, says the writer, had the rare good
full u lie, wheti in I'aris, where he was
born, to be admitted to the famous
French school nf engineering, the I'lcole

he enti red upon an unusually brilliant

branch in the Confederate army, iind is
now head of the Panama railroad, lie
married a lovely grand daughter of Hi-hop
Moore. He resides at Ca.tle Hi 1,
where he maintains the lavish bospitaii
ty uf the old Virginia gentleman. His
only surviving sistir, Miss Mlla UiveM,
lives with him, devoting hetself to works
ol' charity and benevolence. Another

BROKEN LAWS.
1 1 is easier to see the barm il'iie by
alui-r or violence than that product d by
over-work or over in liilg nee. ' know
some of the ell -els of dccepiioii or slan
der, while we do uot know what Inay
follow fr all oiil'vbv I physical system.
t In- thing. liowt'Vt r, we do know, lha1
every broken law brings its penalty, uot
only to the transgressor, but through hiiu
to llie world , and the laws of our bodies
form no cxceplion. We oficn heir it
said : '1 might not I.i have gone out so
'thinly clad'' ' I ought not to have
Worked so protractedly." ' I ought ll I
tu have rattn ;u.h ali-1 .-u.'h things, or
at sii.h and such times," utid y.-t l-ui
little shame is feit at such eontcssious.
and hut litl'c, if any, reproach is incurred,
yet, as soon as we know what we ought
to do or to avoid, we incur aetu il guilt in
taking the nppo-ite e ourse. The very
expression of llie word "ought" admits
this, although we lis- it a-ain and agiin
wilh regard to physical transgressions
without feeling disgraced.
