A Talk wiz. a Lion Taue,..


A lion tanner named LengeI, was
severely bitten in the leg by a Iioness
at Charleston. South Carolina, in
April, and is still disabled in eonse-
quenee of the wound. One of the
Charleston paper describes visit to
him as follows ers f.sF eri
In answer to question as to his
manner Of tanning lions he replied at
length, saying that SIT was a gift of
naturen with him. tsI have no fear
Of them. People tell me every time
Iget a wound that is ought to be q
Warding to me, and should make
me fear to go in the cage again. But
it does not. When am away from
the lions, / get homeslek, and when
/ go where they are and my wounds
prevent me from going into the cage,
l get more homesick sill. I never
met any lions 1 could not tame
Three years ago i tanned five in New
York which, while in Europe, had
killed one man and badly mangled
another, who had attempted to tame
them. In three weeks after thew
were put In my charge, they were as
tame as could wish, though before
they were considered untamable. I
very seldom use force in tanning
them; but sometimes it becomes nee
essary-kindness is my usual plan /;
L am always careful to keep my eye
upon them"
Every one who has seen the lion
tanner leaving the cage after his feat
of lying down among the lions, put,
ting his feet on their heads, feeding
them, and firing off pistols, has
doubtless noticed how careful he was
stepping out backwards very de-
liberately, and watching closely the
beasts which always advanced upon
him. In speaking of this, he said /:
.tIt [ did not keep my eye upon
them they would jump at me. They
have sense enough to know that I
am retreating from them, and they
gain courage; there is more danger
to me at this time than at any other.
If the lions were at liberty, I would
fear to go near them. Some people
think that a lion born Ia America is
more dOcile, partaking less of the saw
age nature OF the brute than one born
in Africa or Asia. Not so. L would
rather have to tame g litter born in
either of the last two mentioned
places than litter born Ia this eOun.
try-the latter are more dangerous
and less easily tanned"

How GOVernOr Hayes Ngisrepre-
sentss and How Akeis Shown Up
in His True COIOT.s,

Figures cannot lie. yet men do lie about
figures" s-E 7.ls t-efi ..v1L ni
The great burden of the speech of GOV.
Hayes, delivered before the nominating
Convention of his Iarty, was the reckless
extravaganza of the late Legislature, COM
posed of a majority of Democrats, and its
proposed expeudit tre of the public money.
In this charge, as in Others, Gov. HAYES
has falsihed the recordz--has stated that
which is false, and which, with ordinary
brains, he must have known to be so. 1T
is no excuse for Governor to say that he
was misled In statement of facts by 9th
ers, when an examination OF the record
would show the Truth to be against hum,
for public opinion presumes a Governor
of a great State like Ohio, to be man of
common sense and common industFy--in
the case of Gov. Hayes, we are sorry to
| say, presumption not warranted by facts.
So far from the last Democratic Legisla-
ture squandering the public money, the re-
verse is true. 1t was the most economical
| Legislature that has met in Ohio for years,
During the first session of the preceding
Legislature, which was Radical by a two
thirds majority, the appropriation of the
public money amounted to $4,668, ,635 09
| that of the first session of the succeeds
ing Legislature, which was Democratic in
both branches, to 81, ,0e4, ,766 204being a
saving to the State by the Democratic Leg
islature. charged by Gov. Hayes with ex-
travagance and with squandering the pubs
lie money of $7S3, 1858 83.
6 During the second session of the same
Radical egislature-the very session that
passed the negro suffrage resolutions, the
amount of moPey appropriated was 81, 789-
1 Ia
of the Democratic Legislature, Including
the Morgan Raid CLAIMS, the rebuilding
of the Central Lunatic Asylum, the pay
ment of debt incurred by the Radicals,
/ in which there was q judgment against the
State, amounted to but 45l, ,296 70, show
ing saving to the State of $246, e32 %.
| In the two years of Democratic Legisla-
| tive rule, Notwithstanding the heavy and
unusual expenditures of the public money,
which the Democratic Legislature had to
provide for, there was asaYing to the State,
in the appropriation of public money for
State purposes, over the two previous
years of Radical misrule, of 81. 030, ,060 92
| No man, no charitable institution, no
school board, has just cause to say that
these appropriations by the Democratic
Legislature we're insufficient, yet in two
/ years time, although the State was grow
ing, and many of theie expenditures were OF
an unusual and unprecedented character,
they averaged over half million dollars
each year of Democratic rule, less than
that of the previous two years rule ol
