Arrival of a Live Gorilla from Africa
NJ

For the first time there is live gorilla
in New York-a gorilla like those of
which Du Chaillu has told so many Won
derful stories in "Equatorial Africa" and
"Ashango Land"
At late hour yesterday afternoon there
was an extraordinary excitement in the
neighborhood of Barnum's Museum. The
gorilla had arrived, and his roars attracted
a crowd of spectators.
The animal was caught in the interior
of Africa, and was put safely on board the
sailing ship Harding, and conveyed to this
port. The box in which it was Gagged du-
ring the voyage was made of teak wood
plsnk-the toughest wood that could be
found in Africa. A huge cart chain, fas-
tened to the neck Of the gorilla, passed
through tits box, and was nailed upon the
outside.
From the Earring the gorilla received
yesterday during its transportation from
the ship to the Museum it became exas-
perated, and growled furiously during the
trip. A fter the box had been taken into
the Museum, Mr. Charles Brothwell, the
Museum carpenter, loosened the chain
from the outside of the box, and by the d.
rection of Professor Davidson, attached to
it rope by which the animal was to be
led from the box to the cage, by running
the rope through the bottom of the cage
and then fastening the chain to beam Of
the building beneath the cage.
The rope was attached, when the gorilla
began pulling in his chain. Professor Da.
wilson and Mr.. Brothwell both grasped
the chain, and several men behind grasped
the rope, but their united efforts were I'M.
equal to the task. The animal with ap-
parent ease pulled into bis box both chain
and rope, and untying the rope from the
chain dropped it from hole in the cage.
Mr.. Broth&ell then got the largest cage
scraper in the building-a huge wrought
iron bar an inch and three-quarters thick,
to which is attached small spade-for
the purpose of bringing out the end of the
chain. This scraper had been used sue
cesstully in several contests with the lions
of the establishment, which had vainly
tried to make an impression upon it with
their jaws.
Mr.. Brothwell and Professor Davidson
each took scraper, and from opposite ends
of the cage endeavored to foil the gorilla
and seize the end of the chain. Finally
the gorilla seized the bar which Mr..
Brothwell held. Another man, noted for
his muscular strength, came to the rescue,
but the animal proved their superior, and
bent the heavy piece of iron double, 80
that the ends touched
During this effort, however, the chain
was secured and the box put to the cage,
the animal enrapped, and his chain secur-
ed to the beams underneath.
During all this excitement the gorilla
growled furiously, the sound resembling
the excited roar of lion.
All the beasts in the building became
excited, and the place resounded with
their cries. Women tainted aud children
cried, but the crowd would not leave the
room until the manager ordered them to
be put out by force. A large barricade
was erected and the doorway blocked up.
The gorilla is now safely in the lions
cage and Gained down. An immense

ANOTHER JOKE AT "MAN's VICTIM"
A Paris letter says: There being great
fancy now for Clubs, the wsgs are declar-
ing that q number Of the lady-leaders Of
the gay world, having determined to re-
venge themselves on the gentlemen for
their exclusion from the favorite 'scircles'j
of the day, have held various meetings
with view to the formation of Female
Club, from which all males should be rig
idly excluded but that, owing to the
preliminary adoption of a resolution, de-
cIaring that the office of the President
should be held by the oldest member, and
that of the Secretary by the youngest, the
project has at last been abandoned, it hay-
ing been found impossible to find Presi-

KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF.

Speak not your troubles over loud,
Lest the world should hear;
Bow not your head before the crowd,
In public shed no tear.
Strangers form heartless sect
Too apt to worship pelf;
So If you wish TO gain respect,
Keep troubles to yourself.
The wise will never own defeat,
Though hope be almost dead;
But, smiling, all disasters meet,
With proud defiant head;
Even with a ready jest,
In darkest time of woe,
Striving, struggling for the best,
Midst tears that none shall know.
The fool who tells of his distress,
Hurries on disaster,
And tempts the sordid one to press
His owing claims the faster
Till down beneath he slowly goes,
Moaning still the s,dder.
Beset by coward, heartless blows,
To fall him from the ladder.
Be ever cheerful to the crowd,
And bide no croakers near you;
Be courteous, yet cold and proud,
And fools will learn TO fear you;
Thus, manfully, ever lay
Your doubtings on the shelf,
And ever from the light Of day,
Keep troubles to yourself.

FLOUR OF BONE"

We will give money guarantee of the purity
of this article. 1t is pure unsteamed unburns
bone, reduced to the Jineness Of -four, which adds
100 per ct. to its value. tits as quick and active
as acid dissolred bone, hence its value is vastly
greater, because it contains neither acid nor
water, which necessarily add weight and re-
duce the quantity of valuable elements. We
recommend $50 lbs. to be used in place of 300
lbs. Super Phosphate or dissolved bone.

QUARREL BETWEEN AN ARTIST
AND A GENERAL FOR A DIAMOND


PIN.
A New York correspondent writes as
follows:
Literary and art circles are considerably
amused over a suit now going on in this
city between Mr.. George Brown, the artist,
and General George Ward Nichols, an
author and art critic, the same who inor-
dinRtely praised Sherman and ovid
Bill" in Horper's Magazine: The silt is
for diamond pin, which Mr. Nichols
wears in his bosom-and which was a
presest from the Prince of Wales to either
Mr. Nichols OF Mr. Brown-that is what
the court has 10 decide. Brown painted a
picture; Nichols took il 10 Europe and
presented it TO the Prince of Wales.
Wales, of course, had to make some return
for it and gave Mr.. Nichols a diamond
pin worth half a dozen of the pictures.
Nichols thinking the pin was meant as
reward 10 himself, as the artist, kept 1t.
Mr. Brown thinking the Prince certainly
intended il rs a compliment 20 the artist,
claimed it. Nichols said, No, its mine"
It's not" exclaimed Brown; its mine,
tell You. 1 painted the picture" But i
suggested the idea Of giving il to the
Prince" argued Nichols. And as the
business ;dea p Of thus bringing the pie
ture aud artist into notice was more origin
al and better than the picture itself, public
opinion is considerably diyidedas to whom
belongs the reward. Brown, not getting
what he thought was his own, wrote to the
Prince 70 know whom he intended the pin
for. Wales having other fish TO fry, doesn {
answer but his private secretary does, and
saws thst. Of course, the reward was meant
for the artist. The agent replies 10 this,
that the private secretary amt the frince'
and that he doeSn't know what the Prince
meant. Negotiations thus fail, and the
case comes into court; and the Tribune Of
the other day has neat little burles que OF
the whole ridiculous affair, which halt ITS
readers couldn't understand, because the
matter has been kept unusually quiet.
