To suppose that he would not attack me would have been to suppose an im- probability. I did not connt upon such a thing; I kaew too well the disposition of the enemy that approached. I| knew that in nine cases out of ten the grizzly bear is the assailant—that no aurmal in America will willingly risk a coutest with him; and it is not certain that the lion of Africa would wear his laurels after an encounter with this fierce quad- ruped.
Man himself shuns an encounter, un- less’ mounted upon the friendly horse ; and even thea, where the ground is not clear and open, the prudent trapper always gives “old E phraim '—the prairie Pebeaes of the grizzly- and rides on without molesting him, The white hunter reckons a grizzly bear equal in prowess to two Indians; while the Lucian accou ove of these animals a great feat in his life’s history. Among [udiau braves, a a badge of honor—since these adornments can only be worn by the man who has himselt killed the animals from which thev have} been taken.
On the other hand, the grizzly bear fears no adversary ; he assails the largest animals on sight. The elk, the moose, wild horse, if canght, is ‘instantly killed, With a blow of his yaw, he cav lay open the flesh, as if it had been gashe d with an axe; ‘can drag the body of a full- grown buffalo to any distance. He rushes upon man, | ; mouated or afoot; and, ere now, a dozen hunters have retreated before his furious assault.

armed! There was not a bush where I could hide myself, not a tree into which I might climb. There was vo means of escape, and almost uoue of defence; the knife was the ouly weapon I had with me; my rifle I had left upon the other side of the barranca, and to reach it was out of the question, Even could T have got to the path that led down the elif, it madness
would have been
to attempt crossing there; although not a tree- climber, the grizzly bear, by means
could have scaled the cliff more expeditiously than I, I should have been caught bet -re I could have reached the bottem of the ravine.
The bear was directly inthe path It would have been literally running “into his arms” to have gone that way !
These reflections oceupy minutes of your time to read; I thought them in less than moments, A_ single glasce around showed me the utter helplessness of my situation; J] saw there was no altervative but a desperate conflict—a conflict with the knife!
Despair that for a moment had un- nerve, now had the effect of brac‘ng me; and, frouting my fierce foe, I stood ready to receive him.
i nad heard of hunters having con-
quered and killed the grizzly bear with uo other weapon than a knife, but after a terrible and protracted struggle—after many wounds and sere loss of blood. I had read in the book of a naturalist that ‘a man might end a struggle with a bear ina few moments, if one hand be sufficiently at hberty to grasp the throat of the animal with the thumb and fin- gers externally, just at the root of the tongue, as a slight degree of compression there will generally suffice to produce a spasm of the glottis that will soon suffo- ete the bear beyoad the power of offer- ing resistance or doing injury. Beautiful theory! Sagacious naturalist ! How would you ike to try the experi- ment? Have you ever beard of birds being caught by the application of * salt to the tail?” The theory is as correct as yours, aod I am certain the practice of it would be not more difficult !
But I digress among these after- thoughts. I had no time to reflect upon ‘‘ compression of the tongue ” or “spasms of the glottis.” My nmagonist soon fin- ished his reconvaissance of me, and, dropping upon all-fours, be uttered a loud roar, and rushed towards me with open mouth.

Mr. Finlayson, town clerk of Stirling, Scotland, was noted for the marvelous in eonversation. He was on a visit to the Earl of Montieth and Airth, in the castle of Taha in the loch of Monteith, and was taking leave when he was asked by the Karl if he had seen the sailing cherry tree, ‘* No,” said Finlayson"; ‘ what sort of a thing is it?”
‘*Tt is,” replied the Earl, ** a tree that has grown out of a goose’s mouth from a ‘one the bird had swallowed, and which she bears about with her in her voyages round the loch. It is now in full fryit of the most exquisite flavor, Now, Finlayson,’ he added, ‘‘can you, with all your powers of memory and fancy, match the story of the cherry tree?”
‘* Perhaps can,” said Finlayson, clesr- ing his throat and adding ; ‘*‘ When Oliver Cromwell was at Airth, one of the cannons sent a ball to § irling. and lodged in the mouth of a tramvet which one of the troop- ers in the castle was in the act of sound-
ing 7 ‘‘ Was the trumpter killed?” asked the Ear’.
** No, my lord, said Finlayson ; he blew the ball back and killed the Artilleryman :who fired it.
