Boar Hnntine in France.
On Monday, February 17, cce of
a series of boar hunts (chasse au tang
lier) took place in the forest of Mar
chenoir, aa extensive forest situated
between the historical old towas of
Biois and Orlesas, and not far from
the Kiver Loire, the largest acd
iougest of French river. The lorest
or the greater part of it, is the prop
erty oi. the Duke of Luynt-s, but the
duties of master were assumed on this
occasion, by ins brother-in-law, the
Puke of Naoiilet.' The meet, which
was at 12 o'clock, was pOirh attead

out. At 1 o'clock the hounds drew
and found almost at once the where-

assailants, ripping them up with his
powerful tasks, then croincr straight

yards behind. Unfortunately he was
joined almost immediately by a
"female boar" and the two
went away very fast. The boar
rashes through everything, and is
stopped by nothing, while the hounds
forced to plclf their way through
U undergrowth; which is in places
extremely thick, the field following
along the vallevs with which the forest
is intersected. The two boars raced
neck and neck, for more than an hour
and a half, being often sighted as they
dashed across nn opening, but the
distance between the houndsand their
piarry was diminishing rapidly, and
at last the male separated from the
female, the bounds unfortunately fol
lowing the latter. Iu spite of her
condition, however, she showed a fast
pair of heels, and ran gamely enough
for fully an hour more, being killed
at four o'clock after a very good run
of three hours. The coup de grace
was delivered by one of the field with

Fashionable Dogs.
A few days ago a mau walking in
one 'of the most fashionable street's of
Paris, came across a lost dog. It was
a small tov terrier, and was clad in
an elaborate coat trimmed with costly
furs. In this coatxwas a tiny pocket
containing a handkerchief bordered
with exquisite lace, a worked mono-

E PliiribiK I'lium' on Oar Coins.
According to the United States mint
officials, the words, "E Pluribue
Unum," as they appear on our coins,
are there without the sanction of law.
The legend first appeared upon a cop
per coin "struck" at the Newburg
(New York) mint iu tho year 178o
Tho United States was very young at
that time und could not afford the
luxury lavmintrtttpjcivataiadiridua.L
by the namexpj Brasher opened the
Ncwburg coining establishment with
the intention of turning out money of
the realm for all corners. Exactly
how the words "E Pluribti Unum"
came to be used at a motto is not
known, but one thing is certain, the
Brasher copper coin bearing that
legend and the date of 178J is the
most valuable metal dink ever minted
on this continent, being worth about
3'-,000,or twice as nyuch as the famous
rare dollar of 1804.
Some time after coining his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto ns
above described, 'Brasher tried his
hand on a large-sized gold piece, pro
ducing the coin known to th numis
matists as "Brasher' twenty." The
Brasher "tweuty" -was not a 2) gold
piece, however, for it lacked $1 of
I weighing enough.; but of late years it
