A TIGERS JOKE.-The New Orleans PIC
oyune tells the following capital story about
a Texas tiger now holding forth at the Mu-
scum in that city. The incident is related
on the ''best authority"
When this fellow was in Laredo, being
domesticated, he was allowed TO run loose
in yard hich was enclosed by mud wall,
and had entrance through large gate. One
day the gate was left open. A Mexican
stood in the gateway, Illuminating on the
mutability of human affairs and the chance
for a supply of cigarritos. The tiger lay in
the yard summing himself, coiled up in the
dust, and apparently asleep.
Presently Il large jsckass-a an animal with
which every Mexican town abounds-walked
leisurely up to the gateway and poked in his
hea!, either to inspect the premises, ask the
price of corn, or inquire after the health of
the senoritas.
AS quick as lightning the tiger, who was
playful chap, leaped upon the long cared
visiter, and clung like grim death to his
neck and head. The jackass not wearing
spectacles, did not see the origin or manner
Of this attack on his feelings. lie immedi-
ately took it into his head that the Mexican
had hit him over the head with a rake or
some other ligh; implement. Not admiring
such proofs of affection, he wheeled, incon-
tinently planted both hind heels in the as
tonished Mexican's dread basket" and
broke for the centre of the town, the tiger
holding on harder than ever, the Mexican
running and shouting, the dust flying, and
the jackass giving vent to his wounded SEN
sibilities with deafening ''ee-haw! ee-haw!
ee,haw!" A laughable scene of confusion
followed, which was ended by some one
knocking the tiger from his seat with a
piece of scantling, and leading him home
much refreshed by his ride and his joke !;
while the jackass, confounded and astonish-
ed beyond measure, gave a peculiar jerk
with his tail, repeated in higher key his
"ee-baw! ee haw! ee-haw." and made for
the prairies The last seen Of him was his
ears, pointing to the North Pole.
Moral: 1t isn't every jackass that can
buck up to the tiger.
