Trophies of Skill. 
THERE is a class of sanguine and enthusiastic 
people, whom no anticipation of danger or diffh- 
culty can daunt, and who are ready enough to go 
to the world’s end in pursuit of hazardous under- 
takings, but succumb readily enough when 
brought face to face with them. Several Eng- 
lishmen of this class went out to Cashmere last 
summer, allured by the spirited accounts of hunt- 
ers, of the glorious sport in pursuit of bears and 
chamois, and the spreading-antlered deer of that 
favored region, They were men of means, who 
took with them express rifles and all the appli- 
ances for camp life and a summer’s sport, and 
after a very pleasant trip they reached Scrinug- 
gur, to find that man and nature and especially 
women had conspired to make it the veritable 
paradise it had been represented; but three days’ 
clambering among the rugged mountains in pur- 
. suit of ibex was quite sufficient to take all the 
Excelsior out of them, and glad enough they were 
to reach Scrinuggur again in safety. 
But they were a practical set of men; who, 
when they found they could take no comfort out 
of mountain climbing, applied themselves to 
achieving one, at least, of the objects of their 
journey by other means. They sat at home in 
the bungalow in the Vale of Cashmere, and em- 
ployed native hunters to bring them the trophies 
of the chase. 
Whether these men have done wisely or not 
is yet to be proven; they will take their trophies 
to England, some they will probably present to 
friends, and some they will probably display in 
their dens, never pointing to them, but when 
questioned about them, simply saying that they 
are some of the things that. they brought from 
Cashmere when they went there for a shooting 
trip. We have heard of one man who thus took 
home a lot of purchased trophies from India and 
left it to be inferred that they were the spoils of 
his own weapon, until at last he had to invent a 
history of his acquisition of each trophy in turn 
and repeat it, until he was driven ‘to give the 
whole lot.away for his conscience sake. But all 
men are not constituted alike; for we know of 
another, who, having had a lot of skins given 
him by a friend, invented a story of his acquisi- 
tion cf each, and told them so often and cir- 
cumstantially, that he was at length able to tell 
them unblushingly and in full detail to the man 
who had presented him with them, pointing at 
the same time to the holes in the skins to em- 
bellish his narratives.—Asian.
