A TIG EE AT SEA-A somewhat extraordi
nary adventure was met with few days age
near Muilky, which is about 20 miles north
OF Mangalore, on the coast. Some fishermen
starting out very early in the morning, while
it was yet dark, with their hooks and fish
spears in their boats, remarked something
dark in the sea, which it appears was out
side the breakers they made up to il. to
make it out in the dark. Ooe Of the frs,
boatload Of five called out, "a cheetah, Chez
tab !" but it was soon discovered to be row.
al tiger. They rowed close up to it, and the
first man drove his fish spear into it, and
then another belabored it On the head with sn
oar. But it soon turned on them, put one
huge paw on the side Of the boat, which cap
sized it, and with one blow Of the other feled
the poor man with the oar Man and tiger
disappeared together, at least none of the
others saw more Of them. They were all
shot out by the csrsiziug boat, at it was some
little time before they were picked up BY
other boats. That evening the tigers body
WIS washed up by the waves, dead, and the
next morning the poor mans corpse, with
the unmistakable c!aw-marks on the back
Of his neck. The others escaped unscrstched
with the exception Of an awkward blow on
the ancle which one Of them got from the
boat. What possessed the tiger to 90 out
for cruise, in this fashion, does not appear.

THE GREATNESS OF TIE UNITED STATES.
The Russian organ. published at Brussels
in speaking Of the Presidents desire for the
acquisition Of Cuba, ascribes to the United
States a position Of some Importance, as
follows:
The war which might result from /. would
be far more disastrous than the Crinca
war which has cost so much blood and o I'D
to the world 1t would be war witt a ma
ton, whose products are the FIRST eIcn,n.,
of industry in all parts Of ths world, and
whose commercial intercourse makes an IN,
portant branch of income for mos, govern
ments. 1t would be violent rupture OF all
the arteries of commercial circulation, it
would be a fatal separation between Europe.
which needs America, and America, which
can dispense with Europe. Take from Eng
land the gold Of California and the cotton
of Louisiana, and her industry will at once
be stopped in its prosperous action. We
sincerely hope that such terrible occur
renee vii! not take place.
