Another Sad Tiger Story.

A correspondent of the Times Of In
dia, writing from Akola on June j,
says: ''There was n very sad occurrence
a few days back. The Patel of a village,
well known as a tiger shikaree, was
aroused late at night by a tumult in his
cattle-shed, and, peeping through the
crevices of a door, discovered master
Stripes coolly walking off with calf.
The Patel took up his gun and fired,
wounding the tiger, who Immediately
dropped his prey and fled. The next
morning the Patel, accompanied by his
two brothers and a, Pardhi, (the first
armed with gun and sword, and the
remaining three with swords only
went in search of the animal, who was
easily followed, owing to the blood
stains on his track. The tiger was first
seen by the Patel lying apparently help
less under bush, when he incautiously
rested his gun against the trunk of a
tree, and approaching the tiger, prickcd
him with the point of his sword. On
this he suddenly sprang up with roar,

two brothers then bravely attacked the
tiger with their swords, but both were
disposed of in the same manner. By
this time the Pardhi came up, and
swathing his left arm in his dhotee,
thrust it into the tigers mouth, and
proceeded to hack him with his sword I;
but by this time the tiger was quite
spent, and quietly fell back dead. By
evening all Llreo brothors died from in
juries received, leaving their families
almost wholly unprovided for. Within
the last two or three months no fewer
than six or eight children are ascer-

These animals are getting so bold, that

mothers, they come and carry their in.

Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician
in California had compounded, from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs
found there, a medicine that cured al
most every variety of blood disease, we
were incredulous. Since then we have
had opportunities of testing the &C

Seasoning Timber.

Experience has shown that the more
rapidly lumber can be seasoned in open
air the better the quality, and the less
liable it is to be affected by the variable
ness of the atmosphere. During the
month of June, July, and August the
air is dryer than at any ether period,
and consequently better adapted to
seasoning timber. Planks or boards
should be piled up under sheds open on
all sides, to allow of free circulation
of air in no case ought lumber to be
subjected to the rays of the sun and
rain, and it should be elevated two feet
above the ground. If the shed has a
floor it will be much the better. As
soon as the moist weather of the fall
months commences the sheds should be
enclosed on all sides, and opened only
on clear, dry days. Lumber well
"stuck up" under sheds of this kind
will dry out in two seasons, and retain
all the neutral strength and elasticity
of the timber. The bark should always
be removed from white oak and hickory
The growing scarcity of lumber neces,
states more care in seasoning if we
would prevent prices advancing toe
rapidly. .....

An Artists Dream.

The Rutland Herald, in writing of
the death of Hiram Powers, sculptor,
describes the house in Woodstock, in
which he was born, and says "In this
house, as he himself related, he dream
ed dream that decided his whole
future destiny. We cannot now refer
to his own relation, but as recalled from
the memory of an early reading, it was,
in substance, that he seemed to see,
across river, female figure arrayed
in white, standing upon a pedestal
At this time he had never seen statuary,
but soon after recognized it's meaning
when seeing rough attempt at a
statue by some aspiring artist. From
this time his life work was determined
in his own mind, and his every effort
was directed to the accomplishment of
his ambition"

The New Resort for the Nation.
Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

Denver and the Rocky Mountains.
More and more it is becoming known
now that this immense continent of
ours contains the most superb watering
place in the vicinity of Denver. Col
orado Territory has been opened to
tourists by the Kansas Pacific Railway,
and after pleasant journey from Kan
sas City, Mo-, to the Rocky Mountains,
on the cars of this company, a region is
reached that surpasses in grandeur OF
scenery anything found in Switzerland,
in Italy, or in the South of France.
Mineral springs with an ounce of medi-
Gated matter to every four gallons of
water, like the Galen Spring, near
Denver swimming baths filed with
water from the Idaho Hot Springs,
also within few miles of Denver, make
this section of country not only the
asylum of the invalids, but the most
attractive point for the overworked
business man or the weary traveller.
Within easy access of Denver are the
beautiful "Twin Lakes, which sparkle
with the speckled trout. Gray's Peak,
Pixies Peak, Cheyenne Canyon, the
Garden of the Gods, Monument Park,
the Peteri6ed Forest, the Ute Falls, are
all spots in the vicinity of Denver, with
a most salubrious climate and well fur
nished hotels that have astonished those
who in the past went to the Old World
to enjoy the grandeur and beauties OF
nature. When President Grant passed
over the Kansas Pacific Road the other
day, he expressed his surprise at the
magnificent scenery, and since his re,
turn to Washington maly members oil
foreign legations have gone to Colorado
to see for themselves the greatest water
ing place the New World offers. The
Pullman cars of the Kansas Pacific
Road, with only two changes from New
York, leave Kansas City every evening
at eleven o'clock, and as on the day fol
lowing the morning breaks before the
eyes of the traveller, the grand Rocky
Mountains surround him on all sides
and the balmy air refreshes even the
most confirmed invalid. To any on'
who desires to see America, we say visi
Colorado, make trip over the Kansas
Pacific Road, and see q country tina
places Switzerland far in the back
ground. ~
Nowhere in the world can so much b
seen under as favorable circumstance
as in ride over the great plains o
Kansas, from Kansas City to Denver
and the wild and wonderful scenery O
the Rocky Mountains.

characteristics of Inebriety.

From a recent official paper concern
ing the number of annual convictions
on account of drunkenness in England
and Ireland, it appears that out ofevery
ten thousand Englishmen fifty-nine
make themselves obnoxious to the law
against drunkenness while out of an
equal number of Irishmen one hundred
and. forty-seven are guilty of similar
offence. In considering these figures
some account is to be made of the Irish
tendency to "humor when infamed
with whisky; whereas, the English
man, when drunk, is often more solemn
and oracular than when sober. The
Irishman instinctively looks for head
to break; the Englishman simply reels
in the serene consciousness of intense
responsibility.

Unintent.Onal Canniballsm.

The following anecdote is told of Sir
Bartle Frere when at Zanzibar: Sir
Bartle and his son, during an expedition
cup country" had imprudently wan
dered from their escort and lost their
way. After some time they perceived a
negro's hut, and, tired and hungry,
proceeded to claim hospitality. An old
negress appeared at the door and gave
them some eggs, which our savoy at once
converted into omelette, and seeing
numbers of little round black balls sus-
pended from the roof, and fancying
them to be mushrooms, popped them
into the pan, utterly disregarding the
old woman's anxious circumstances.
After their meal in came the owner of
the cabin, who, on learning what his
visitors had done, broke into a violent
rage. Miserable strangers" cried he,
'fyou have eaten all my war trophies >
and, in answer to Sir Bartle's inquiries,
informed him that what he had taken
for mushrooms were no less than the
ears of his enemies whom he had killed
in battle. Sir Bartle Frere was i'll with
indigestion for four days.-PariS FL

CHARITY ABRoAD.-A worthy but sim
pie minded deacon, one of the Pilgrim
Fathers, was in the habit of drawing
his salary every Saturday afternoon in
silver, and dispensing it among the
poor people on the way home from the
treasury-half dollar to one, a quarter
to another, and so on, until he had not
much to bring back to his wife. She,
mindful of the old saying that charity
begins at home, and not at all relishing
being mulcted of her dues, instructed
the treasurer, when giving her husband
his salary, to tie it up in handkerchief
with so many and such tight knots that
he could not dispense it in driblets as
heretofore. On arriving at the first
house, he fumbled for long time with
the handkerchief, but it resisted his
endeavors. "Dear friend" said he to
proprietor, cit is evident to me that
the Lord intended the whole of it for
thee;" and so saying, he gave the
handkerchief to her, and went home to
his wife empty-handed.

HARD ON THE BoYs.-Three lads of a
piscatory turn absented themselves
from school in quest Of bites and nib
bles F.; but the next morning, each being
certain of a fogging by the school
ma am, put on three pairs of pantaloons
before seeking the temple of learning.
The day was warm, and so were the
boys. They perspired, liquefed, oozed
at every pore, but no fogging came.
For six hours they sweltered, and then,
with short lecture on the improperly
of running away, they were dismissed
in a feeble and fabby condition, all
three agreeing that dogging would
have been preferable to the wearing of
triple pantaloons in warm weather.

The Next Political Issue in Iowa.

A dispatch from Des Moines, Ia., says
that at an Anti-Monopoly Convention
held there full county ticket was nom
mated and delegates elected to State
convention. Resolutions were passed
declaring that no support should be
given to any man for office who is not
in full sympathy with the producers
and manufacturers and opposed to
monopolies; also declaring that the
doctrine of the vested rights of railroad
corporations which exempts them from
legislative control has no place in the
jurisprudence of free people; de-
manding reform in the matter of the
salaries of public officers; denouncing
the back pay matter, and demanding
political reform and strict economy in
State and county affairs. The resolu-
tions also invite all persons to partici-
pate in this movement.

When to Cut Timber.
Travelling Dresses.

For midsummer journeyings, dress
which separates at the waist, thereby
permitting the use of linen blouses, is
on every account most desirable. For
cooler wear, one of the new redingote
polonaises of gray de baize, with black
skirt, is the most serviceable suit. The
redingote polonaises of gray de baize,
with black skirt, is the most service
able suit. The redingote is q very long
garment, fitting the figure behind, and
being double breasted and loose, or
half-ftting in front, as choice or neces-
sity dictates. 1t is closed in front by a
double row of large buttons-moulds
covered with the material or silk-and
has large square pockets, square cuffs,
and coat-collar either of the same, black
silk, or silk the color of the polonaise.
A plain two-inch hem edges it, and it is
Topped behind, and left open halfway
down the front. 1t covers the skirt so
much that an old one will answer excel
lently, thereby saving a good one for a
more important occasion. Linen dus-
tiers are not only convenient but neces-
sary to comfort in q journey of more
than few hours. They are made either
with skirt and half-ftting sacque,
which can be slipped over the dress
(and we think this the most convenient
form, or in loose, gown-ike garment,
covering the dress to within few inch
es of the bottom, and provided with
sleeves that draw round the hand with
an elastic. Buff linen co lars and cuffs
are used especially for car wear, and do
not show soil SO soon as white but for
long trips we recommend paper cuffs
and collars, which are now made in
pretty shapes for ladies, and can be so
readily renewed that the wearer need
never look otherwise than fresh and
neat

A Paris Industry.

There is in Paris, says the London
Echo, an aged woman, who has for the
last fifty years, supported herself by an
industry of which, we believe, she en-
joys complete monopoly. She sup
plies the Garden of Acclimatization in
Paris, with food for the pheasants,
which food consists entirely of ants
eggs. These she collects in the woods
around Paris, and receives about twelve
francs for the quantity she brings back
from each of her foraging expeditions.
These generally last three or four days,
during which she sleeps on the field of
action, in order to watch the insects at
dawn, and to find her way to their
treasures. She is almost devoured by
the ants, an inconvenience of which
she takes little notice, but at the end
of her harvest-time, which lasts from
the month of June to the end of Sep
TENDER, her whole body is in truly
pitiable condition. Her services are, Of
course, highly valued, for, as there is at
present no competition in this line OF
industry, it would be difficult to supply
her place. ....-

to abate altogether. That her father
never returned to bis candy-stand may
be readily inferred, and that his recon
ciliatidn with her husband includes fu-
ture ease and plenty for him is only ae-
cordant with the commonest justice of
human nature but the general story
does not leave a wholly pleasant impress
sion, save as the reader may be able to
abstract his mind from its imperfect
moral compensation, and dwell only
upon its physiognomic suggestions.

A Shah Story.

According to the reports the English
are getting up some singular amuse-
ments for the Persian monarch. A paper
says the Shah was greatly entertained
by the Marquis of Queensberry, who
brought to the palace number of prize
fighters. General Hardinge, who was
on duty at the time, was quite Mortified,
"How many of them have you got ?"
asked he of the Marquis. "Six," was
the reply. "My Godp exclaimed the
General, eve can't let six go in they
might knock us all on the head and walk
off with all the jewels and plate" A
compromise was effected; two of the
best of the bruisers were allowed to
enter with the Marquis they first
fought with each other, and then the
Marquis, who is the best boxer in the
kingdom, tried few rounds with each
of them, handsomely drawing the claret
from one and knocking the other down.
The Shah was perfectly charmed. He
said it was the best thing he had seen
in England. He gave each of the men
handful of coin, and bestowed upon
the Marquis magnificent pipe, mount
ed with rubies and emeralds. .r... q.
