L0UIsVILLE, August u.
The Chicago Tribune has uttered an
infamous and utterly unfounded libel
upon me, for which ! have or
dered suit to be instantly Instituted
for fifty thousand dollars, sssthat libel
will doubtless be repeated by other un-
.scrupulous journals, ask the favor of
your readers in various localities to
send me copies of the papers so
that I may institute suits against
them also, and teach them that
there are some men who viii put them
In peril, making them pay dearly for
mexensable license, who dare to differ
with them, and call their souls their
own. My political actions are sub
jects for comment. If the editor
had been wiser Il would have irnnedi-
ately struck his mind that a man
guilty of such conduct as be
charges me with, would long since
been attacked in the Southern journals,
and exposed in the local journals where
reside. He has now the high privilege
of proving his assertions, or paying for
them. Very respectfully,
BLANTON DUNCAN.

A man In the jaws OF q Lion.


Lengei, the lion tanner, has achieved no
toriety by the number OF times be has suffer-
ed lscers tlou by the claws and teeth Of Gag
ed animals. He was at Portage City, MINI.
few days ago, exhibiting his lion tanning
abilities 10 circus. One of his cages COM
tained three partially tanned brutes, TWO
llonesses and lion. He had found, con-
trsry to usual experience, that the male lion
was the most crafty Of the three, and on two
occasions before the one at Portage City, be
had detected this huge fellow 10 the act Of
sneaking up to seize bis lleg. During the
Afternoon exhibition at Portage City the
tanner was going through bis usual perform
ance 10 this cage, with two men stationed
outside with iron rods between the bars Of
the cage to assist, IL necessary, in wariiug
off attack. The lion had somewhat puzzled
him, as manifesting different nature from
that of any with which be had dealt, and
for that reason be kept bis eye upon him;
but at one point be was Oh Iiged to turn and
lace the two lionessss as they passed him,
'eaving the lion to. be watched by the At
tendants. But the attendants failed TO zee
the monster sneak along the floor. The
audience were watching more closely, the
the danger was seen, and cry Of alarm was
raised, but 1t was too late, the monsters
jaws had closed on the calf of Lengers
right lrg, the teeth met, and Leugei fell to
the floor Of the cage. His club flew | from
bis hand % he'fell, and was beyond his
reach; the moment was one OF terrible sus-
pense; the spectators were terrified, and the
two attendants paralized at the result Of
their carelessness But Lengels presence
Of mind did not desert him. The lion,
even In bis rage, could not forget the power
Of lis fallen antagonist, and loosened bis
hold for moment, and before the lioness
could gather for an attack, the tanner was
on his feet, seized bis whip and attacked
bis foe. Leaving the cage Lengel walked
to bis dressing box, across the ring, where
be sank fsiut from the loss of blood. II
was found that no bones were broken, but
the wounds were SO large and deep that the
surgeon who dressed them probed them with
bis Roger and failed to touch the end.
Lenssl bss been five times before bitten
by bis pets, and shows scratched body,
but In every csse before bis wounds have
been from lionesses. This, he thinks, is The
second case 10 which he has been intentions
ally bitten, the other four being accidents,
when 10 their snarls among themselves,
they have seized him by mistake.
