A Rhinoceros on a Rampage

A letter from Red Bud, a small town
in Monroe county, Illinois, gives
thrilling account of the performances
with the rhinoceros attached to Warner
& Co.'S. menagerie and circus, on the oc-
casion of his being brought into the
ring for the first time. The Snowman
had prepared the animal for exhibition
in ring by attaching to the ring in his
nose two strong wire ropes and twenty
four stalwart men were deemed suffici-
ent to control the beast. He submitted
quietly to be led from the cage, but on
entering the arena he suddenly threw
up his head and plunging madly about
to the right and left, breaking loose
from the men, dashed forward through
the tents. His first victim was John
Gillem, a canvas-man, whom he knock
ed down and tramping upon his breast
instantly. He next run his nose against
another canvas-man striking him in the
stomach and ripping out his bowels,
killed him. He next made dash in the
direction of the seats, which by this
time were cleared by the frightened
spectators. He knocked down nearly
one side of the seats, dislocating the
shoulder of one of the employees and
breaking the arm of spectator. Rum
ming into the menagerie tent he upset
Forepaugh's den of performing ami
mails. He next struck the center pole
with his head, bringing it down with q
crash upon the cages of the tiger and
leopard, but not breaking them so as to
allow the animals to escape. Dashing
into the museum tent, he smashed the
stampeded all the people in
the vicinity, and rushed out through
the side of the canvas into the street, f.
nally bringing up in vacant house
door, which stood open, and here the
men succeeded in capturing him and
getting him into the cage. The dam
age to the show was about three thou
sand dollars.

Real Love---What it Is.

In Old and Ne,o occurs the following
comments on this universal subject.
Many suppose that they love their
husbands, when, unfortunately, they
have not the beginning of an idea what
love is. Let me explain to you, my
dear lady. Loving to be admired by
man, loving to be admired by man,
loving to be petted by him, is not low
ing a man. All these may be when a
woman has no power of loving at all;
they may be simply because she loves
herself, and loves to be fiattered, praised
and caressed, or coaxed as a cat likes to
be coaxed and stroked, and fed with
cream and have a warm corner.
But all this is not love. 1t may exist,
to be sure, where there is love; it gen.
orally does. Love, my dear ladies, Is
self-sacrifice; it is life out of self in
another. Its every essence is the pre-
ferring of the ease, the wishes of an
other to ones own, for the love we bear
them. Love is giving, not receiving.
Love is not a sheet of blotting paper or
a sponge, sucking in everything to it
self; it is an out-springing fountain
giving from itself. Loves motto has
been dropped in this world as choice
gem of great price, by the loveliest, the
fairest, the purest, the strongest Of
lovers that ever trod this mortal earth,
of whom it is recorded that he said,
at is more blessed to give than to re-
eeive."
Now in love there is ten receivers to
one giver. There are ten persons this
world who like to be loved, where there
is one who knows how to love. That,
oh, my dear ladies, is nobler attain
ment than all your French music and
dancing. You may lose the power oft
by smothering it under early self-indul-
genee.
But living just as you are all wanting
to live-living to be pitied, to be fiat
tered, to be admired, to be praised, to
have your own way, and to do that
which is only easy and agreeable-you
may lose the power of loving nobly and
worthily, and become mere blotting
paper all your life.

The Lions Ride.

When lion wishes to have giraffe
for his dinner, he is obliged to be very
careful how he goes to market. Giraffes
are not cheap articles of diet, even for
lion, and an attempt to get meal Of
that kind of meat always costs him q
great deal of trouble, and sometimes
costs him his life. OF course, the lion
slips up very quietly toward the giraffe.
He always does that, no matter what
his prey may be, but in this case it is
necessary to be very careful indeed, for
if he springs and misses the giraffe, the
great beast may get a kick at him be-
fore he has time to recover himself, and
kick from a giraffe, whose hind legs
fly out like sledge hammers, will make
even lion feel considerable shuck up
like" But even after the lion has safe
ly landed himself on the giraffe's back,
his dinner is not ready yet. The gi-
raffe is large and powerful animal,
and away he rushes, as fast as his long,
awkward legs can carry him, and that
is very fast indeed. Glitter, clatteri
Spring and bound: Away he goes, with
the lion hanging on like a good fellow,
and the hyenas come yelling after, ho-
ping to have chance to get something
at the second table, for it is hardly pos
sible that lion can eat whole giraffe.
But it is not at all certain that there will
be a giraffe for dinner at all, for if the
creature can once get into
the woods, he may be safe. Dashing
among the trees and trunks he may
knock the lion off. And then look out,
Mr.. Lion! The giraffe will turn ON
you as quick as lightning and kick the
life out of you before you can get out
Of the reach of his heels, and all those
poor, dear little hyenas will have to go
hungry to bed. Although giraffes have
been known to get the best
of lions in this way, they are not al
ways so fortunate. If thick wood
cannot soon be reached, the strength of
the giraffe will be exhausted and the
cruel beast upon his back will fix his
throat and drag the poor creature down
md kill and eat him.-Hedrth and
Home.

The Key of Death.

The following singular tradition is re-
lated Of key in collection of curios-
titles preserved in the arsenal at Venice.
About the year 1000 one of those dam
gerous men, in whom extraordinary
talent is only the fearful source of crime
and wickedness beyond that of ordinary
men, came to establish himself as mer-
chant or trader in Venice. The stranger
whose name was Tebasdo, became en-
amored of the daughter of-an ancient
house, already affianced to another. He
demanded her hand in marriage, and
was, of course, rejected. Enraged at
this, he studied how to be revenged.
Profoundly skilled in the mechanical
arts, he allowed himself no rest until he
had invented the most formidable weap-
on that could be imagined. This was
key of large size, the handle of which
was so constructed that it could be
turned round with little difficulty.
When turned it disclosed a spring,
which, on pressure, launched from the
other end a needle or lancet of such
fineness that it entered the flesh and
buried itself there without leaving any
external trace.
Tebaldo waited at the door of the
church in which the maiden whom he
loved was about to receive the nuptial
benediction. The assassin sent the slen-
der steel into the breast of the unsus-
pecting bridegroom. The wounded
man had no suspicion of injury, but
seized with sharp and sudden pain in
the midst of the ceremony, he tainted,
and was carried to his own house amid
the lamentations of the bridal party.
Vain was all the skill of the physicians,
vino could not divine the cause of this
strange illness, and in a few days he
died. ..a
Tebaldo again demanded the hand of
the maiden from her parents, and re-
ceived q second refusal; they, too, per-
ished miserably in few days.
The alarm that these deaths, which |
appeared almost miraculous, occasioned,
excited the utmost vigilance of the
and when, on examina-
ton of the bodies, the small instrument
was found in the gangrened flesh, the
terror was universal; every one feared
for his own life. ........- |
The maiden thus orphaned had passed
the first month of mourning in a con-
vent, when Tebaldo, hoping to bend her
to his will, entreated to speak to her at
The gate. Her reply was deeisively in
The negative.
Tebaldo, beside himself with rage, at
tempted to wound her through the gate,
ind succeeded. The obscurity of the
place prevented his actions from being h
observed. On her return to her room
he maiden felt pain in her breast, and
it, she found it spotted with
| single drop Of blood. The pain in
creased; the surgeons who fastened to
her assistance, taught by the past, wasted
no time in conjecture, but, cutting deep
nto the wounded part, extracted the
leedle before any mortal mischief had
and saved the life of the
ady. The State Inqufsition used every Ii
means to discover the hand which dealt
hese insidious and irresistible blows.
The visit Of Tebaldo to the gate caused
uspicion to fall heavily upon him. His
louse was carefully searched, the in
amous invention discovered, and he ,
,erished on the gibbet. ,

Hypocrites feel more concern about
the opinion their neighbors entertain OF

Inconvenience of Wealth.

In viewing William B. Astor's pres
ent residence in Lafayette Place, I am
forcibly reminded either of an asylum
or a Jail. The occupant has long been
troubled with the fear Of robbery,
which may not be far from streak of
lunacy. He probably carries but little
money in his pocket, and doubt if he
has any jewelry; still less bonds, in his
house. The "cracksmen'' are not apt to
rob such places, for they reason correct
ly from mems habits. But Mr.. Astor
has converted his house into place of
defense, which, as l said, suggests to a
stranger that it may be a Jail or lunatic
asy lum. The basement windows are
protected by heavy gratings. These,
however, are common in first-class
houses. The porch is of heavy free
stone, and this is the only relief to the
plain brick front, whose breadth and
height additionally suggest the idea of
an asylum. The parlors on the first
floor, as am told have sliding shutters
of iron, and these can be closed at night
and then be opened by day in such a
manner as to be utterly concealed. The
second story windows have gratings
not of half length, as in the case with
nunneries, but reaching from top to bot
tom. These will effectually defeat the
entrance of any one who might climb a
gutter or reach this height in any man
ner. The third story is unprotected,
and in case a robber should descend in
balloon, an entrance could easily be
effected. make this suggestion In Or
der that the lunatic capitalist may at
once adopt suitable precautionary. Y.

ALETTER FROM DIR, HOLMES.

PErALuMA CAL, Sept, 26th, 1872
FRIEND CUNEo..
Thinking that your readers
would like to learn something from
the Pacific coast, [ undertake to give
YOU Jew of my observations
There is considerable political ex-
element in this section, but | be-
IiaYe it is generIly-conceeded that
the estates of California, Oregon and
Nevada will 60 for Grant. G. c.
Worth told me that he would not
be sprtrisedif Iowa gave Grant So
900 maiority,in fact expected 1t, There
is such a vast difference between
Ohio and California in the way of
agricultural persuits, and other en-
pIoyments that there is hardly any
way of comparing one state with the
other. As fruit growing state CAL
ifornia excells Ohio Or any other
state that l have any knowledge of,
both as to quality and quantity.
Grapes appear to be particularly
adapted to this soil and climate.
There are many varieties here un-
known to the Eastern Stat sand of
those known to US and cultivated
here, the size and flavor are much
improved Wheat is the staple farm
production OF this state, a larger
yield is not only produced here
with less labor. but better quality.
Their volunteer crops follow for one
two and three years that are often bet
ter than the first. As there IS no rain
here, during the spring, summer and
fall months, there is no fear as to the
saving Of crops-grown wheatis un-
known here, There is very. little
corn raised here. The population
of this state CAME from not only
every state union, but from every
quarter of the globe. There is said
to be over 10, 900 Cinnamon in San
Francisco; besides, they are now
scattered all over the state, and East
through Neyada, and the territories
of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado
they are All Industrious people with
many peculiarities. Prices vary
considerable here from what they
are in Ohio. Then again the bushel
measure here is unknown, every
thing is sold by the pound that we
measure. aud the price paid
is always in coin. Eggs are worth
so cts. per dozen. Tie choicest of
muscatine grapes are worth oulv 3
cts. per pound anl dull sale The

the orchards as the price at the city.
