THE RAID OF A CALIFORNIA LIoNEss.-
Jake Bergman, an Augusta (CaI.) ranchero,
was wakened one morning in September by a
peculiar noise among his cattle, and, having
dressed and started for the rancho, he found
them drawn up In perfect hollow square with
the calves in the center, while the horns of the
old ones bristling on the outside made it look
decidedly perilous for an enemy to approach.
Hardly had Bergman reached this array when
a big California lOness sprang upon him. He
was unarmed, but was a man of immense mus
cular power. The two embraced cordially, but
the brute was too much for Bergman; she
clawed the flesh off his breast and arms in a
very uncomfortable manner. But Bergman's
Indian servant came up, and the lioness tossed
Bergman aside and went for the red-skin, tear
ing Il up at her own sweet will. The brute had
dug In nearly to the poor Indians untutored
heart, when Bergman came down on her head
with a stake and crushed in her skull This
finished her, but the two men will have to fat
up very fast to fill the hole she made in their
flesh. The animal measured six feet from tip to
tip, and the ABSOLUTE emptiness of her stomach
was the cause of her raid.

DIR. SchIieman On the Site OF Ancient

DIR. Schlieman, the explorer OF Ilium, has
written letter to the Augsburg Gazette in
which he defends the validity OF his conclusion
that he has discovered the Troy of Homer. Tho
Pail Mall Gazette, of October ID giver the fol-
lowing extract of DR.. Schiloman's reasoning:
Wherever there has been an old town, he SAYS
our excavations Weld us postherds nothing be
ing so indestructible as baked clay. No town
can be older than the oldest nor more recent
than the most recent potsherds found in its
ruins. At Bunarbashi, on the Baldaugh, where
Welcher and other scholars supposed lion to
have stood, excavations have never Welded any
potsherds of higher date than the sixth CEN
tury, b. c. Sir. John Lubbock, who had the
sO-called tomb of Hector on the Bald agh exca-.
waited, found no terri cottss there that were old
er than tie third century, b. q. DIR. Schlieman
considers this as proof sufficient that the runs
there cannot be those of the ancient lion, and
he asserts that an inscription which he discoy-
cred enables him TO identify Bunarbashi with
the town of Gergis. The late Austrian consul,
Won Hahn, who likewise explored that terri
tory, stated that in spite of careful research on
the northern side of the Baldagh, between the
Acropolis (of Gergis) and the springs of Bunar-
bashi, not one single sign was detected OF a
former settlement, not even potsherds of frag-
ments of bricks, the never absent and therefore
undoubted witnesses of ancient towns; no.
where building, stone, quarry, or an arti-
hcial touch by the hand of man. DR.. Schie-
mann has examined not only the neighbOrhoOd
of Bouarbashi, where Welcher placed Zion, but
likewise the hills of Chiblak, where Clarke and
Barker Webb placed it, and the high ground
near Atzik koi, where Ulrichs thought he had
discovered its ruins, but nowhere has he found
any traces of human workmanship. The VII
lage of the Ilions (IleOn kom>) where Straho,
Following the theory of Demetrius of Skeprs
placed Troy, was carefully explored by DIR.
Schliemann; but nothing was found there, ex-
cept potsherds of the first century, b. g. In the
place, on the contrary, where DIR. Schemann
has lately dug up the very crown jewels of
PTiam, there are to be found from two to six
teen metres in length images of marble, slate
bone and ivory, goblets and vases, and on all of
them the form of the Ilian Atene, the patron
goddess of Troy, female figure with an owls
head; nay, on one golden diadem there were
no fewer than hundred small idols Of the same
goddess.

The New scavenger System in Opera.

To-day the machines for the removal of nj o n Z
soil are at work here, and reports to the off ce of
The Board OF Health are to the effect that the
apparatus works satisfactorily. AS was to be
expected the scavengers are not at all pleased
that the old-fashioned cart and bucket system
Is 10 be superseded by the new process, and they
claim that the right to remove the night-soiI is
still with them. There two dumping de-
pots in the District-One at the foot of 18th St,
and one at the Eastern branch terminus of
street, (BuzzaTd's Point where the scavenyers
have been required to keep their carts during
the day, taking them out az night and returning
them to the sheds in the morning. Yesterday
the health officer, DIR. p. Il. Keene, issued the
proper orders to prevent them taking out the
carts, but it appears these orders were violated
Marshall Brown, Frederick Weibersall and
Daniel Williams, whose districts are in the
northern part of the city, each took their carts
from the nth street depot, and engaged in the
business as usual, and it Is charged that on
their return, finding the house closed uo, thew
forced the door and dumped their carts. George
II. Newman, whose district is in South Wash
ington, took his cart from the S-street sheds
Notwithstanding the Waterman (Mr. Allen in
formed him that he would not be allowed to re-
enter the sheds, and after obtaining a full load
he left the cart standing outside the sheds. To-
day the attorney of the board, Mr.. A
X. Browne, received the reports Of the in
spectors to the health officer in these cases
and is preparing the informstions to secure
their arrest and trial before the Police
Court, under the act of September goth 1873
This act provides "that from AMI after the 1.t
day OF October, A. ID. 1873, no part OF the con-
tents except substances not soluble in water) of
any prlvy, priyy-bOX, vault, sink, or cesspoO
within the cities OF Washington and George
town, and the immediate and more denseIy-
populated suburbs thereof, shall be removed
therefrOm, nor shall the same be transported
through any of the streets, avenues alleys, or
other public places of said cities, and their SUI
burbs aforesaid, except as the same shall be re-
moved and transported by means Of some air
tight apparatus, pneumatic or other process, so
as to prevent the contents of said prlyy, priyy-
box, vault, sink, or cesspool from being agitated
OF exposed in the open air during said process
OF removal and transportation; and that any
person or persons violating the provisions OF
this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof,
be punished by fine of not less than $40 nor
more than $50 for each and every such offence"
The scavengers claim that they were appoint
ed by the governor for two years, unless sooner
removed, and that while the board NAV make
regulations to the manner in which thew
shall do their work, they have no power indie
pendent of the governor, to remove them or
virtually abolish their offices.

GAHDRR PULLING AS AN AMUSEMENT AT A
STATE FAIR.-The managers of the Tennessee
state fair disgraced themselves by allowing a
"gander-pulling" exhibition at Nashville on
last Thursday. The brutal performance is thus
described:-A rope is stretched at such a height
that the neck of live goose suspended from
the center is barely within reach of man riding
bare-backed horse The feathers are plucked
from the gooses neck, which is creased. The
knights" who engage In the tournament"
ride under the rope at a gallop and seize the
BIRDS neck, the man who pulls il of
being proclaimed the victor. The account of
the Nashville affair states that the creased
necks of gander twenty years old and
goose twenty-three years old were pulled OIL
"At the close of the tournament" we are in-
formed, "the knights attempted TO race, when
horse ran over the fence with Frank McGay-
ock, throwing and bruising him badly. The
whole audience rose en- BldSSe, appalled,, think
ing he had been killed, and a general confusion
ensued." The harm would not have been very
great If the horses of all the knights engaged in
the brutol sport had ran away with them and
broken their riders necks. The work of recon-
structlon cannot be said to be complete in a
community where "gander- pulling knights"
are awarded honors by the managers of state
fairs.

A SENsRLRss FEUD.-The st. Louis Demo-
Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado there is a
bitter feud going on between the growers of
sheep and the growers of cattle. The cattle
men are equally hostile to the cattle men,
though their iocks and herds get along quite
comfortably together. 1t has been declared
all one thing or all the other, and as the sheep
interest is much the lghtest just now, 1t is suf-
fering q good deal. Only Q short time ago two
men in southern Colorado made . dash at a
drove Of 2 600 sheep which we're quietly feeding
on the plains; . stampede was effected, the
sheep were scattered for several miles around
the country, 100 head we're shot dead and nearly
100 head more wounded. One Of the party en-
gagged in the outrage has been arrested and
brought to Denver, and hunters are on the
track of the other.

SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-we have to
chronicle this week a sad and painful accident
From the particulars CLEANED from the family
OF the deceased, we learn that on last Tuesday,
about O'Clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Harriet
stump, LADY residing in town, started in a
spring wagon, accompanied by Miss Fannie
Whissen, a young lady, as driver, to visit a
friend, living some six miles west of town
They had gotten as far as the residence of
MI L. Nj. Tidball, on the northwest road
when another spring wagon, driven by MI
Clowser, came laundering behind
road, but, from some Circumstance, Clowser's
wagon ran into them, throwing them both
violently to the ground. Both being severely
injured, a man was dispatched for Dr. God
frey Miller, who soon arrived at the scene of
disaster. By this time the father of the young
lady, John Whissen ,swho happened to be
coming from town, with his wagon, whittier
he had been purchasing supplies, came up to
md Mrs Stump In dying condition, and
insensible. Under the circumstances it was
thought best to bring her to Winchester, and
she was consequently placed in DR.. Miller's
buggy and conveyed to her residence in town.
Although assiduously cared for she died about
3 O'Clock on Wednesday morning. Her death
was caused, 1t is thought, from internal inju-
ries, the conclusion being SO powerful There
was not bruise on her person. Mrs. Stump
was about 65 years of age, and a very estimable
lady, respected by all who knew her. She was
the mOther-in-law of Collector Larue, of this
place.
Mr.. Whissen. not supposing that his daugh-
ter was 80 badly INJURED, attempted to carry
her home, but upon arriving at Bayliss' tavern,
PEELED to abandon his purpose. She was carried
into the house, and when last heard from was
lying in a critical condition. In all probability
she may now be dead.-W Winchester Netus, lTth.
