THRILLING SCESE.-The Dundee COu-
rier gives graphic description of an ex-
citing scene that lately took place at
Wombell'S menagerie in that town. 1t
says:
"On Saturday night, an alarming Incl
dent occurred at Wombelrs menagerie,
which is now visiting Dundee. The place
was crowded to excess with visitors.
During one of the performances, while the
keeper, Mr.. Mack, was causing the leop-
ards and pantherS which are confined in
one large caravan, to so through various
evolutionS, large male panther suddenly
showed unmistakable signs of inSubordi-
nation. With the rest Of his companions
he was ordered by the keeper to leap
through a large brass ring held up for the
purpose. Instead, however, of doing this,
the animal suddenly turned upon Mr..
Mack, and, throwing his powerful paw on
the head of the latter, produced deep
scalp wound, from which the blood in
stantly began to flow profuscly, covering
the face and clothes of the daring keeper
with a crimson stream.
Mr.. Mack was completely taken by
surprise, as this was the first occasion on
which the panther had dared to make an
open attack but quickly recovering his
self-posSesson, he Immediately struck his
Infatuated assailant several very severe
blows with the butt end of the heavy whip
WHICH he usually carries about with him
when going through his dangerous per-
formances. Blinded and maddened with
the blows of the whip, the panther let go
his hold, and bounded round The cage in
frantic manner, then retiring to the fur
Their corner, crouched down as if preparing
for a spring, while his cleaning eyes and
gaping jaws, from which he emitted the
most terrible growls, showed plainly enough
that, had he been allowed to make his leap,
it would have closed forever the career of
the fearless lion-tamer. But, happily, the
latter followed up his advantage with
energy and promptitudc, and gave the ami
NAL such an unmerciful beating as fairly 10
COW the latter into an unwilling and threat
ening submission. He compelled him to
finish the performance so unexpectedly in
terrupted, and was loudly applauded by the
audience on making his exit from the ex-
citing scene in which he had shown so
much cool daring and decision. 1t may
be readily supposed that the visitors were
wrought to the highest pitch of excitement
during the time the affair lasted"

RosASTIC MAIDENs.-Two or three weeks
aro. Manager beagle advertised for a num-
Der of ballet girls for the Varieties. Inc
advertisement fell under the notice OF TWO
misses in Cleveland, Ohio, aged fifteen
and sixteen years. One of them, very
sprightly, black-eyed damsel, full OF TO-
mantle notions, and pert enough to under
take any novel expedition, opened a cor,
respondence with Mr.. beagle, and ettecteq1
an engagement for herself and her cousin,
a fair-haired miss of equally romantic
ideas. On Saturday week the errant'giriS
set out for st. Louis. They stopped DAY
or two at Cincinnati, where they TOOK
fancy to an orphan boy of twelve years
named Willie Francis, and persuaded him
to accompany them on their expedition
Taking passage on the steamer Lady FRANK
lin, the trio of young adventurcrs arrived
in this city last Thursday, and took room
at the City Hotel. Not being satisfied
with their quarters, they removed to the
Western House, on Broadway, and soon
made arrangements for making their deDNt
on the stage of the Varieties. They also
secured an engagement for Willie, and the
three were shortly to appear.
The theatrical career of the young peo-
pie was cut short however, by the inter-
| ference of their unromantic parents. The
father of one of the girls telegraphed to
the police of the city to ascertain the
whereabouts of the girls, and let him know.
Officer Grey, who has peculiar talent for
tracking runaway wives and erring daugh-
tiers, traced the fugitives to the Western
House, and kept his eye upon them until
the father of one and the mother OF the
other arrived to reclaim their stray lambs.
| The girls were very glad to see their pa
rents, for the rosy tnts of romance had
begun to give place to the sombre hueS OF
reality, and they were getting an untayor-
able insight into the mysteries OF the
great world.
The question now arose, what shall be
done with little Willie? The girls were
both passionately attached to their hand
some young friend, and wept at the thought
of parting with him. The old lady set
tied the matter by adopting Willie as her
! son, and she took him with her, intending
to place him in daguerreotype gallery
in New York, in which she had an interest.
We are assured that no harm happened
to these young girls, but we advise other
romantic misses to avoid following in their
footsteps; for, like Little Red Riding
Hood, they may meet with wolf where
they expect to find a grandmother.-H.
