A TAME LIoN.-A correspondent Of the
New York Herald, writing from Paris.
says: !: - There has been in Paris, for the
last two weeks, a French officer, recently
returned from Africa, who has for his com
panion in the streets magnificent lion,
who follows him like a dog. The name
of the animal is Emr, and never have |
seen more splendid specimen Of the king
of the forest. Though did not like much
to be his majesty, l ventured the
other nisht'to approach him, and-horres-
CO referens he licked my hands as
dog would do. The French proverb say S
that I'VE must not play with fires and fear
one of these days the lion will find his
wild nature, and make some bloody
deeds. "-.albany Kniekerbocker.

OCTOBER 26, 1850.

o. The printing for Congress in 1880, cost a
little over $40 500. 1t increased annually dur
ing 16 years, until it reached in 1916. to $780,
600. In 1916, Congress became ala rmed at the
immense increase, and commenced having the
work done by contract. The consequence was
that it has of late been very badly executed, and
the contractors lost money by it.
The printing for the 3Oth Congress (the pre-
sent is the 31st) amounted to upwards of $751;
500, as shown by the Blue Book. So that we see
but little difference between the former prices
and the contract prices, the being, we
suppose, that the printers after finding that they
had taken the work at toe low price, begged
Congress TO reimburse them

The drunken fellow says; "now you
think there was anything in that little
ball" Us companion replied, "weli.
there aint.'' \ bet of $50 was agreed
upon between the two, that the ball did
contain the button. The fellow, as in all
such cases. had left his money on the boat,
