Having heard Of the "great raft" in the
Red River since our geography days. we
are all apt to suppose we know all about
it. We are we'll aware that it is a mass of
drift-wood, completely obstructirg uavi-
CATION at the point where it covers the
water with it's countless trunks of forest.
trees. We know that the river passes I'M
we may remember that in 1888, when the
raft was one hundred and twenty-four
miles long. the General Government began
the work of removing it, but, after work
ing at it for twenty-five years, abandoned
the attempt as impracticable, and confined
it's efforts to the opening up of some of the
lateral channels or bayous. We may know
all this, but still be ignorant of one OF the
most curious characteristics of the great
raft, which is that it, unlike RATS in general,
moves mp the river against the current, in
stead of down. The movement is very
slow, being hut a mile or two in year.
The explanation Of this retrograde pro-
gression of an apparently stationary mass
is simple enough. The logs of the lower
end of the raft are continually broken
away and carried off by the current, while
added to the upper end by floods and
freshets. Thus the raft, always falling
away at one end and growing at the other
gradually moves US the river. and it is'cal-
culated that is has moved since the forming
about 400 miles. Scientific writer's have
suggested the idea that this vast mass of
timber. after lying in the old bed OF the
river for quite a number of ages, will be-
come a coal-bed. But when the Red River
country becomes thickly settled this enor-
nous collection of drift wood may be utIl-
ICED in some way or other, and thus meal
culably distant generations may be cheated
out of many good coal fire.

FEARFUL SCENE IN MENAGERIE. A
dreadful scene happened in Mander's
Menagerie, on the Market Square, Bolton,
at half-past ten o'clock at night, man
named Thomas Maccarte being attacked
and killed by lions as he was performing
in their midst. 1t was the last evening of
the exhibition, and Maccarte undertook to
give an extra performance. In the cage
where he entered were five lions. The
animals had been put through their leaping
exercises, when Maccarte noticed that one,
ull-grown Asiatic, was rather FESTIVE
and pointed it threateningly at the lions
mouth. His attention being thus diverted
from the other animals, a young African
lion crept stealthily out from the group and
sprang towards Maccarte, Selling him by
the right hip and throwing him down. At
the same time the Asiatic lion fastened
itself upon his head, tearing off portion
of his scalp. A scene of the widest con-
fusion ensued-women screaming, and men
running about in all directions in search of
weapons. 1t is usual in Mander's men
agerie to keep number of irons continu-
ally heated for emergencies, but on this &C.
casion they had all been removed, and fresh
irons had to be placed in the fire. Mac
carte fought desperately with his sword,
inflicting some fearful gashes on the faces
of both lions. One of the other lions now
seized the unfortunate man by his only
arm, fracturing the bones, while another
tore piece Of flesh out OF his thigh.
Maccarte retained his presence of mind,
and called out to the men to fire amongst
the animals. Revolvers and rifles were ac-
cordingly procured, and whilst some fired
blank cartridges full in the faces of the
infatuated beasts, others probed them with
heated irons, stabbed them with forks, and
beat them with ladder and iron scrapers.
Eventually n slide was introduced between
the bars of the cage, behind which MIR.
Birchall, the agent, and John Ryan, one of
the keepers, drove four of the lions. At
the fifth lion moro shots were fired, but it
was not until the heated bars were ap-
piled to the nose of the animal that it re-
linquished its hold and ran behind the par
tition. Maccarte then staggered to his
feet, but ere he could reach the door, and
before the slide could be closed, the African
lion again rushed out, seized tte poor fell
low by the foot, and dragged him back into
the corner among the other animals. Again
the frightful struggle went on. Maccarte
was dragged up and down the cage by the
head and legs three or four times, the floor
being completely saturated with blood.
Some rifles loaded with shot were dis
charged among the savage brutes, and with
several irons, now heated to a red glow,
they were beaten into a corner and the
partition closed against them. Maccarte
was then released, still conscious. AS he
to fellow workman, "Harry I'm done
for" In addition to the back part of the
scalp, all the flesh had been torn from the
thighs, the right arm was fractured in two
places, as well as badly lacerated, and the
bones of tue pelvis had pieces bitten out of
them, He died in ten minutes after his
admission to the infirmary.

CITY ITEMS.
Concert at the Church Of ST. Francis dc Salcs.-.
The previous announcement of this concert in
the STAR, drew large and select audience to
the new Church of st. Francis last Sunday.
Under the direction of that excellent musician,
Miss Theresa Cannon. the music, both vocal
aud instrumental, was most excellent and the
rich musical treat was much appreciated by
those in attendance. Miss Cannon's "Mollie
Mavrone" and Mr.. Hartung's "Come Back to
Erin" were rendered with excellent effect and
seemed to touch a sympathetic chord in the
hearts of all present. Miss Cannon's musical
talent seems to be only excelled by her generosi-
ty in thus giving her valuable time to works of
charity. Father Simon, the good pastor, re-
turns his sincere thanks to Miss Cannon and
her assistants and to the kind public who, by
attending, made the concert SO great success.
Fair for st. Tincent Home-At the Fair held
in Odd-Fellows' Hall last November, for the
Home, several valuable articles were offered
for rattle, but an insufficient number of
tickets had been sold, the raffies were post
poned. The ratfies for the basket-buggy and
fruit-set, offered at st. Patrick's Table, were
drawn last week; ticket No. 292 winning the
former and ticket 19l the latter.
