Scene in a Menagerie,

At Emily, Ireland, there was a per-
Torrance in a travelling menagerie own
ed by a Mr.. Wilmington. A little boy,
son of a publican named Fleming, resid-
ing in the village, was playing IN COM
pany with other children round the
cage where some bears were kept. The
child having incautiously thrust his hand
through the bars of the cage, one of the
bears seized It and lacerated it in a
frightful manner. The arm, from the
elbow, had to be amputated, and the
doctor gave no hope of the child's recov-
cry. The boys father, on hearing of
the occurrence, procured q gun and pro
ceeded to the menagerie, where he shot
a fine bear dead, and caused another to
escape. The villagers collected, and,
becoming enraged, attacked the boxes
and of the menagerie, smashing
a number of them to pieces. Seven were
brought to Tipperary in custody, charg-
ed with riot and assaulting the proprie-
tor of the menagerie. A correspondent
of the Dublin Express says that on the
accident to the child becoming known,
the people collected in large numbers
with stones, empty bottles, and sticks,
and smashed several of the boxes in
which the wild beasts were kept. They
then commenced to attack the proprie-
tor, beat him, and blackened his face
and ewes.

A Fatal Hunt.

Another instance Of the pitcher going
once too often to the well has occurred in
India. Capt. Doig, an infantry officer,
had become renowned as a tiger-hunter,
and the fame of his exploits had even
reached Europe. He wal supposed to be
invincible, had performed almost fabu-
ulous feats, and was held by the natives
to bear a charmed life. The poor gentle
man was, Notwithstanding, killed by a
tiger early in September. He went out
one day and had a brilliant success, STAY
ing a fine tiger single-handed. Four or
five DAYS after, news came that another
tiger was lurking in the same place,
about six miles from the c~antonment.
The new arrival at once began to dis
tinguish himself by slaughtering bull
locks, and Capt. Doig resolved to bring
his sport to an end. Uuaccompanied
save by his own "Shikaries, the hunter
repaired to the spot. The savage beast
was soon found, and Capt. Doig got
rather a long shot at him, and felt sure
that he had hit him in the head. His
impression, however, was that the tiger
had got off into the jungle not much
hurt, and that Ae must beat again for
him in a fresh quarter. While prepar-
ing to do this, Capt. Doig being at the
moment alone, the enraged animal sud
denly leaped from cover, and in an in
slant seized his foe and bore him to the
earth. Capt. Doig afterward said that
the onset was so swift that he saw
the beast until he himself was on the
ground, and being, as he expressed it,
q calmly eaten. A horrible struggle
ensued, the "Shikaries " sprang to the
rescue. and the intrepid hunter actually
fought himself out of the tigers clutch
es, and not only that, but managed to
destroy him. The encounter was new
ertheless fatal. Capt. Doig had the
pluck to ride back to the c~antonment,
being lifted to his saddle for the pur-
pose. But he never recovered from the
Shock and the frightful laceration he re-
ceiyed, and five days after breathed his
last. For men who get celebrated for
this kind of achievement its pursuit seems
to have irresistible fascination, and the
sad case of Capt. Doig has many prece-
dents.

One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not a single white man in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. = Then,
what is the most fourishing part of
America was as little known as the
country around the mysterious noun
tains of the moon. 1t was not until
1767 that Boone left his home, in North
Carolina, to become the first settler in
Kentucky. The first pioneers of Ohio
did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the population
did not exceed a million and a half of
people. Ahundred years ago the great
Frederick of Prussia was performing
those grand exploits which have made
him immortal in military annals, and,
with his little monarchy, was sustaining
a si~ngle-handed contest with Russia,
Austria, and France, the three great
powers of Europe combined. WASH
ington was a modest Virginia colonel,
and the great events in history of the
two worlds in which these great but
dissimilar men took leading parts, were
then scarcely foreshadowed. A hum
bred years ago the United States were
the most loyal part of the British en-
pire, and on the political horizon no
speck indicated the struggle which,
within a score of years thereafter, estab-
blished the great republic of the world.
A hundred years ago there were but
four newspapers in America Steam
engines had not been imagined, and
railroads and telegraphs had not entered
into the remotest conception of men.
When we come to look back at it,
through the vista of history, we find
that to- the century Just passed has been
allotted more important events, in their
bearing upon the happiness of the world,
than almost any other which has elapsed
since the creation.-Sdn Francisco BuE-
kfil.

CHICAGO. The actual money sub

to about $4,000, 900. OF this
sum the Relief Committee has received

this million and a half of money they
have CARRIED on the work of housing,

o God J what a scene met my gaze on
every side, says a correspondent. Here
came the crisis of the storm ; here the
fre-elements, controlled by the tornado
and a whirlwind, made war on human
hopes, hearts, and life. The half has
not been told, nor never can be.
The phenomena and results of this
storm were mysteriously strange. In
some places the forest trees lay in every
imaginable position, while in others,
they were carried into winrows. They
were mere sticks in the hands OF a
great power, slashing and whipping the
earth, and then made feel for the work
of death. The fields, woods, barns,
houses, and even the "air," was on fire,
while large balls of fire were revolving
and bursting in every direction, ignit-
ing everythingt they came in contact with;
and the whole of this ~devouring element
was driven before a tornado at the rate
of a mile a minute. There can be no
doubt that the air, strongly charged
with electricity, helped on the work of
destruction and death. Ex-Mayor Abner
Kirby of Milwaukee, aweI-known gentle
man of truth and veracity, says he saw
ldIIc DOQlcS VI DdllS Vi AlO III IAC I'LL,
and when oaae in contact with any
thing, they would bound thirty or forty
rods away Others testify that they saw
large clouds of fire burst into fragments,
and in some instances great tongues of
fire like lightning would issue from
the dark clouds, and light upon the
buildings. Pennies we're melted in the
pockets of persons who were but little
burned. A small bell upon an engine,
and a new stove, both standing from
twenty to forty feet from any building,
were melted.

Mission IN Chelsea, and another in Cam

thing else, it is true that the prose of

them have fully ~comprehended the wants
