In a Lions Den.
IRON the Meridian (Miss.) Mercur,

from tne Merfuian lMlSS) mercury.l
Poor old Lee Belk, who lost his life
here on Saturday at the hands OF Beason
brothers, had been in numerous tight
places during mis- eventful and cheq.
uered life. The younger Robinson, who
was managing the show which. was here
on Saturd ay, related the particulars OF
a trightful scrape old Lee got into once
during the term of several years he
travelled with his fathers show. 1t
was in Texas. Lee had got into trouble
with body Of Texas rutians who had
come to the show. at, we think, Austin.
Furious with anger and whisky, they set
upon him with revolver and bowie-knife.
The case was hopeless but In flight aud
successfully eluding pursuit. Luci :
lily he escaped the first onset aud threw
them otf the track for a moment. He
could hear howls and vengeiul threats,
Time was precious, and a desperate deed
for safety had to be done quickly. He
approached the keeper Of the lions cage,
and, upon peril of his life, bade him de-
liver him instantly the key. Belk un-
locked the door and entered, seeking the
safety inside the lions den he well knew
was not outside. The ruse successfully
threw them off the scent. He rode in the
lions cage seventeen miles, and the no
BILE brute-nobler than the human brutes
who pursued-treated him with kind in
difference. 1t is doubtless the only in
stance on record wherein mortal sought
and obtained safety from his inturiate
fellows by taking refuge in lions den.

The Spirit of the Age.
From the Hartford Post.l

A little brown-eyed maiden of five
summers, in the city OF --, has a
most devoted admirer In young man
of four years. They are constantly to-
gether, exchanging visits daily and semi
daily. She came bounding in to see him
one cold day last week. her cheeks glow
ing and eyes sparkling with some new
information. The little heart seemed to
swell with.a keen sense OF her feminine
superiority, as she exclaimed: "Oh, Har-
ry, don't you wish you were a girl? for
boys are made of puppy dogs tails
and rats and nails. but girls
are made Of sugar and spice and every
thing nice.' Now, sir, don't you wish
you wish You were q grip,
she repeated In tantaiizing
manner. Master Harry seemed for
moment staggered and overwhelmed
with shame ut his ineriority, but he
soon collected himself as his maeculine
sarcasm came TO the rescue. s'Oh, pooh.
thar 10 not bit true. Maria Sprague:
don't believe word Of it; It's only
only y-sThundy4school readin'iD
Miss Maria seemed shocked at the
young mans want OF faith In Sunday
school books, and said no more.

TO and fro the widow rocked herself,
while she moaned and wept.

agent. "Of course l shall do my best to
save you from loss, but tear we have
little hope from a house like that"
With pale lace and slow step Mrs.
Smith took her way to my aunt's, some
little time after her interview with her
agent.

My aunt adjusted her glasses and re-
piled: "Scrlpture is full of dreams, so

THE Sultan cart raise money to paw
the interest on his loans, but he can
spend money bravely. His personal ex-
penses amount to $1O,e0O, 600 yearly. His
palaces require the services of $500 per-
sons. Some of these are married and
have families, SO that not less than 1000
persons are daily fed in the palace.
The Kitchens alone employ 500 persons.
There are 400 musicians and 300 door
keepers. The harem has 1900 inmates.
He keeps 800 horses, some of the finest
in the world. He is very fond of his
great menagerie Of birds and animals.
He is constantly attended by IS aids.de-
camp. His fondness for pictures cost
him the past year no less than $500, 600 in
new purchases. This reckless extraya-
gance fully indicates the financial
embarrassments that must eventually
swamp his Empire.

LOWER CALIFORNIA has been general
ly regarded asa waste land, a blotch on
the beauties of our Pacific coast. But
recent Investigations by the medical off,
GERS connected with the navy give
Lower California aAandsome setting up
among the wealth-bearing regions of that
coast. The mines are stated as being
particularly rich in silver. Copper is
found in abundance, and is being largely
worked. Besides deposits ofsilver and
copper, gold, iron. antimony, alabaster,
&C., are found. The. mining operations
are conducted in very rude and slat-
ternly manner, and yet yield richreturns
to the population, which is generally a
lazy and 'shiftless" set. Some day
there will be somebody besides
"Greasers" in that peninsula.

Mr.. Stillman Greene, of Lake Koshko.
nong, has two daughters, strong, buxom
lasses, who are not afraid of work, and
can do as much of IL as any two girls in
the country. In their neighborhood
lives an OLD bachelor who evidently has
not much faith in woman's pluck. He
made bet of six dollars with the two
girls that the two could not chop cord
Of wood in six days. The girls were not
to be outdone by bachelor, and they
accepted the bet. They went TO work,
cut down the tree, and in seven hours
chopped one cord Of white oak wood, a
specimen of which we saw at Echlin a.
Foote'S this morning, The girls got the
money from Mr.. Bachelor, who probably
by this time thinks that there are some
women who can work, and WHO have
pluck and energy.

carries two edges, and is capable of cut
ting both ways. 1t has the qualities of
the Australian boomerang that some
times rebounds to crush the hand that
hurled it. We trust therefore that
when investigation is instituted it
will be thorough, even though it
involve friends as well as
foes in its rebound. Investigation
by Congressional committees is, at best,
but bungling process for arriving at
truth. 1t is surrounded by SO much
pomp and circumstance, retarded by SO
many preliminaries, conducted with so
much circumlocution, confined to no di-
rect issue, circumscribed by no rules,
that the results are seldom more than
platitudes, and the reports founded
thereon are usually inconsequential and
obscure.
And yet, by all means let investiga-
tions be made. The people expect it,
public sentiment demands it. The mo-
tive In making them may be quite as
much partisan as patriotic; but no mat.
ter for that. The result to the country
is the same. And although corruption
discovered in one party may afford but
small political capital to the other, it
nevertheless eniightens the public
mind as to public men. and enables
the people to reject the culpable and
select the more worthy of either party;
and again the result is gain to the
country and the public service. So, we
say to the majority in the House, 60 on
and Investigate, investigate. Leave no
smell OF rottenness uncovered in any de-
partment or bureau of the public SER
vice. Let there be no taint of corrup-
tion unrevealed among those in high
places. See to 1t that these modern
considerations for crime, known as
'rings," are broken to atoms, even
though those of your own political faith
be involved in the cataclysm. Thus
conducted, investigations will be OF
value to yourselves and to the country;
otherwise they will prove, both to your
selves and to the country, delusion
and a snare.
