4 Tiger on the Rampage.

Among the arrivals at this port, says
the New York. star, of Tuesday, was the
ship City of Sparta, which craft brought
a very interesting cargo. Among the
consignments were number of rare
wild beasts, including four huge Asiatic
elephants, n Samaritan black rhinoceros,
n horned horse, three Bengal tigers, etc,
the property of Mr. A. Forepaugh, the
well-known Snowman.
Yesterday the work of removing these
animals from the vessel to the wharf was
commenced. Several of the beasts, in
Guiding the elephants, had been safely
landed, and everything progressed salts
factorily until about noon, when one of
the crew informed Mr.. Forepaugh, who
was experimenting the embarkation on
the dock, that one of the tigers had be-
come very FESTIVE, and was exhibiting
disposition to break from tbs cage.
The sailor further stated that the
beast, in tearing about his cage, had
partially succeeded in wrenching it
from the strong planks which constitut-
ed its floor.
Mr.. Forepaugh only smiled ut the
fears of the sailor, and went on with his
work, and here the matter dropped for
the time being After all the smaller
animals, together with the elephants,
had been landed, the workmen turned
their attention to the rhinoceros, who
was confined in huge box of thick
planks, the corners of which were heavi-
ly bound with strong iron bands Just
IA the cage had been rolled to the pier
the workmen were startled Mt seeing
several of the sailors, half dead with
fright, come tumbling upon the dock,
shouting out, as they did SO, that one of
tigers had succeeded in escaping from
his cage.
Instantly CONSERVATION was spread
around: the crowd of sight-seers dis
persed in IA moment, flying i'll all direc-
tons.
The elephants, who were standing
quietly in the street, were seized with n
frenzy, and began stampede. Chains
were snapped asunder as if mere threads,
and the animals were moving away at
the utmost speed.
The tigers escape was reality-a
terrible reality-for, after bounding up
the platform which connected the ship
with the dock, he had reached the street
and fastened himself to the back of a
horse attached to a cart belonging to
Morgan, Reed & Co., and the poor beast
lay dying. Policeman Munro moved
toward the animal, who was enjoying
his quiet repast, but the tiger, raising
his head, deigned not to notice the
minion of the law, and returned to his
prey. 1t cost him his life, for the Off
Ger, with n well-aimed shot from his re-
volver, killed the beast. He was valued
at 80, 200.

The Vienna Exposition.

The Worlds Exhibition at Vienna
promises not only to be a great expo
sition, but to be attended by great
number of kings and princes. The
Prince of Wales, who is President of the
English Commission, will be present at
the opening, rs will the Shah of Persia.
The Emperor William of Germany will
visit the exhibition towards the latter
part of May, in company with Alexander
of Russia. The King of Italy is pre-
pairing to spend some time there, and it
is said the rulers of the States in the
North of Africa will be present. In
order to be near the Exposition build
ing, and to be ready to do the honors of
host, the Emperor Francis Joseph has
erected fine pavilion near the grand en-
trance. Several German Princes have
also erected villas near by. The Sultan
has built magnificent building, to- be
occupied by himself and his rather nu-
merous family, and has sent from Con-
stantinople the fountain of Mohammed,
to be placed in the grounds surrounding
it. The Viceroy of Egypt, not to be
outdone by his superior, is also building
splendid edifcc, which, it is said, he
will convert into mosque ut the close
of the exhibition, for the benefit of the
people of his faith who reside in Vienna.
1t is believed by many that this collec-
ton of rulers will result in important
measures of a political character.

A Tough Dog Story.

One of these days, when the biog-
raphies of few more canine heroes
shall be written up, it will be compli-
ment, rather than an insult, to call a
man dog. The latest dog story comes
from Clinton, Mass, and shows that the
spaniels of that region are the equals of
their human masters in the performance
of yankee tricks" The dog in ques-
ton had been privileged to have free
access to bucket of meat scraps and
other leavings of the table, which was
set in place convenient for both cook
and dog. One day, however, at the end
of a very dry period, the dog accident
ally upset the pail, and it fell to pieces.
Fearing that his allowance would be cut
off, or having desire TO make restitu-
ton for the property destroyed, he went
to his masters home, obtained sound
bucket much like the former one, brought
it to where that one formerly stood, and
carefully placed the scattered provisions
into it. Having surveyed his work and
thinking he might get into difficulty in
consequence of the slaves Of the old
vessel, he carried them off and hid them.
With a little training sush dog as this
could be trusted to speculate in Credit
Mobilier stocks, and the probabilities
are that he would cover up his tracks
better than some members of Congress
have done

Greeley, Raymond and Bennett.

The Herald was, perhaps, more rigidly
organized than either the Times or the
Tribune, not only with respect TO the
news department, but as to its editorial
corps. Both Mr.. Raymond and Mr.
Greeley permitted great freedom in their
writer's, and encouraged individuality of
thought and opinion. The former, in
deed, rarely interfered with his asso-
line of policy. Each editorial writer
selected his own subject, treated it in
his own way, in keeping, of course, with
the tone and character of the paper /; and
Mr.. Raymond, even when in town, rarely
saw the articles except in proof. This
system had, undoubtedly, its disadvan-
tages slight variances of opinion we've
sometimes detected in the paper, which,
of course, were laid to his charge but
this was balanced by obvious advantages.
Mr. Bennett pursued very different
system. He established the daily coun-
Gil of editors, which is still feature in
the management of the Herald. 1t is
held at noon, and every editor is required
to be present. The topics of the day are
fully discussed mt these meetings, and
each writer has his subject assigned to
him, and its treatment prescribed.
While the influence and views of other
writer's besides Mr.. Greeley and Mr..
Raymond were frequently apparent in
the Tribune and the Times, the Herald,
under this system, always faithfully re-
flected the ideas and purposes of its
founder and editor.
Mr. Bennett kept the public at n dis
lance. Few outsiders found access to
his private room at the Herald Office.
Mr.. Raymond and Mr.. Greeley, on the
contrary, rarely refused to see visitors in
the editorial sanctum. A gentleman
once entered Mr.. Raymond's private
office with the inquiry, Are you at
leisure ?" Ono, sir, was the courteous
reply, as the quick pen was stayed m its
progress over the page, =" but L am mt
your service. For few years previous
to his death, Mr.. Greeley had n private
room in the Tribune building, to which
he could retreat when the pressure of
visitors became too great even for his
patience but his old room was open to
all, and he might be seen engrossed i'll
work. If he heard a step on the floor
he would ask, without looking up,
Whats wanted 2" and would generally
keep on writing while the visitor stated
his errand, unless his attention was ar
rested by something of Importance.
Both Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Raymond
could listen and write at the same time
rare faculty even among newspaper
men.

The Great Battle Of Money.

The Christian Union utters warning
cry when it proclaims that the great bat
tie of our day is to be the battle of
money. 1.-The combination of capt.
talists, it adds, 1.-THE consolidation of
railroads, the enormous concentration of
money in comparatively few hands, is
raising mp plutocracy which threatens
to overmatch legislatures, courts, and all
private interests that may stand in the
way of these gigantic corporations. If
the very ablest men in Congress are SO
easily beguiled and perverted by this
first onset, what shall the future be,
when millions of dollars can be brought
bear upon Congress to secure million
aires legislation, as against the inter
ests of the common people - Where is
the remedy for this evil? The Union
suggests that it is two-fold, to-wit
There must be formed home senti-
ment of honesty, which shall make 1t
impossible for any man to enjoy such
gains rs he gets by sacrifice of hoA-
esty, truth, and public trust. AS long
rs men, by scores and hundreds, can go
to the Legislature poor, and III five years
return rich, maintain their popularity
and enjoy their ill-gotten possessions, of
what use will it be once in ten years to
sacrifice the luckless criminal amid uni
versal excavations? The honesty must
dwell among the common people. There
must be honesty at the source of power.
If the people are debauched, their
representatives will not be virtuous.
The moral education of the whole COM
munity must, after all, be the grand
ranne1y

The Coal Trade.

The census of 1870 shows that the
number of collieries i'll the United States
at that time was | 500, of which 5SS (227
anthracite and 361 bituminous) were in
Pennsylvania the number of engines
employed in them was | ,173, of which
1913 were in Pennsylvania; the number
of men employed in them was 81, 514, of
whom 60, sos were in Pennsylvania +; the
number of boys employed was 10, $40, of
whom 1864 were in Pennsylvania {; the
capital invested was $40, 00S, 029, of
which S67, 911, FOB was in Pennsylvania !;
the amount of wages paid per annum
was $44, 1916, 491, of which $31 ,97S, 308
was paid in Pennsylvania the number
of tons produced was 32,S6O,6 of
which %, 44S, 1913 was produced in Penn
sylvania /; the value of the product was
$3.50, 524, 992, of which the Pennsylvania
product was 1923, 257, S14. 1t is thus
seen that the single State of Pennsylva-
mia has coal interest which is more
than two-thirds of the entire coal inter-
est i'll the country. Next to Pennsyl-
vania comes Illinois, Ohio, Maryland,
Missouri, West Virginia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky and Tennessee, i'll the order
III which they are named.

never smoke your cigars they do not
suit my taste.
Whew that was cool
Mrs. Washburn lit Bagdad.
SIS it possible you smoke, Mrs.
Washburn ?" asked MIR. Barnes, aston
ished mt the singular spectacle of a
woman putting away mt cigar, for all
the world like loafer IN IA bar-room.
Occasionally, just to please my hus-
band" replied Mrs. Washburn, after
she had blown out long breath of blue
smoke.
Eyes, Barnes" interposed Mr.. Wash
burn, sit is more sociable, you know, to
have company when one smokes. We
are generally alone in the evening, and
she is SO kind as to smoke with me.
All Barnes, teach your wife to
smoke; it is so pleasant to smoke with
ones wife.
The lady was thunderstruck Was it
possible that he had no more respect for
the proprieties of life than that. She
smoke? She had already acquired the
reputation of smoker, without having
produced any of the anticipated good
results.
Mrs. Washburn threw the lighted
Bagdad into the stove. She had almost
cried with vexation.
"Not smoke, my dear ?" said her hus-
band.
81 think you can be sociable tonight
if don't smoke. "
DO smoke, my dear ; it gives me so
much pleasure to see you enjoy good
cigar
That's too bad, Joseph.
Mr.. Washburn laughed outright,
and, throwing down his cards, explained
the event of the preceding evening.
81 will own up ; did it to break him
of the habit | give it up.
When the gentlemen had taken their
leave, Mrs. Washburn explained by
whose advice she had adopted the plan
Mrs. Volant has the reputation of
being a perfect shrew. Her husband is
a laughing stock for all State street
She is very bad adviser"
How slick YOU have turned the joke
upon me, said Mrs. Washburn, laugh
ing heartily.
ITO tell the truth, | overheard some
laid.
"0h, no, you did? No wonder it
failed"
+" l did but, Mary, are You SO very
much against my smoking? / love the
weed, but / love you more, )" and Mr..
Washburn kissed her tenderly.
Nay, | will say no more about it,
Perhaps | was selfish 4"
"Not selfish | will leave it off, my
dear, for your sake.
LORD LYTroN put the number of really
great men in the world at 20.
"No, no 1 do not want you to do so.
If You are SO very fond of smoking, |
will never say another word about it. "
And Mr.. Washburn has smoked his
cigar III peace ever since.

Land Grants To Railroads.

The first Immigrant railroad bill was
introduced by Stephen A. Douglas, in
the United States Senate, Jan. 3, 1850.
Mr.. Shields, of Illinois, reported il back
with amendments, six weeks afterward.
IL comprised in It's provisions not only
the Illinois Central railroad, but the
Mobile and Ohio, and therefore pro-
vided for a road from Chicago To Mobile.
1t finally became IA law, Sept. 20, 1850,
in the term of Willard Fillmore. In this
grant was contained 2, 595, 053 acres, or
about 26, 900 good sizeable farms-the
whole granted to the Illinois branch.
OF that grant, the Illinois Central Rail
road Company advertise at the present
time as still for sale, $50, 900 acres, at
from 81 to $40 an acre. Therefore, be-
tween 81, 900, 900 and "a, 900, 900 worth
of land, annually increasing in value, re-
mains to the road, and leases several
hundred more. The total sale Of land
will realize above 100000, 900, and the
net revenue is over $1,000 600 per an
mum.
The Thirty-second Congress, i'll 1912,
endowed Missouri and Arkansas with
railway lands the Thirty-third Con-
gress, in 1884, helped Minnesota
the same way and, III the Thirty
fourth Congress nine railways were
endowed in the Northwest alone, and
twelve in the South. Most of the South
ern grants were arrested by the war, but
the four railways of Ohio, the three of
Michigan, and the two of Wisconsin
were made rich by the acts OF 1856.
Iowa received 3, i56, 900 acres; Michigan,
3 O96. 600 and Wisconsin. .633. 900.
The total number of acres embraced
in all the railway grants, past and in
complete, is now between 175, 600, 900 and
2O0, 900, 600 Missouri has not 1000
sizeable farms left i'll it of the Govern
ment land 4; Illinois is not recorded in
the land report as possessing any more
public lands; and Iowa has left only
about 900, 900 acres.
