A Basgageman's Encounter with WOLF


The Atlanta { Ga. Herald of the oath

Baggagemaster Hunt met on a trip from
Chattanooga the day previous. 1t says !:
at Chattanooga man from some West
ern State got aboard the train. He had,
chained about the neck,a very large yell
low wolf. The brute appeared to be do
cile enough while in charge of his owner,
although to stranger his fierce eye and
grinning teeth were sufficient to keep
one at a distance.
BY considerable pulling and kicking
and jerks, the man succeeded in getting
him aboard, and putting him in the bag
gage car, where he was chained in one
corner. AS might be we'll imagined, the
baggage-master did not fancy such a
companion In his car alone, and protest.
ed against the act, but was repeatedly
assured that the wolf was harmless and
would attack no one. Thus the baggage
mans fears were allayed, and the train
started. 1t leaves Chattanooga before
hight, aud the baggage-master was left
alone In his car with his gaunt compan-
ion. -. -s'-,
The train had not proceeded very
great distance before 1t became neces-
sary for the baggage-master to adjust
some pieces which he proceeded to do.
In moving about be either forgot the
presence Of the brute or depending upon

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-United States Mar
shall Campbell, of this city, father-in-iaw
of General Babcock, says the report that
the latter gentleman will attempt to
break the force of the charges pending
against him, by bringing counter charges
against Secretary Bristow, is entirely
without foundation. He has no charges
to make, and Mr.. Campbell says the en-
tire story was concocted without the
knowledge of General Babcock.
The attempt Of the Inter-Ocean to gel
up diversion against Secretary Bris.

Ham, the editor of that paper, was re-
Gently removed from office by Bristow
and the animus ofhis attack is too plain
to leave room for doubt.
Arrangements for the approaching
whisky trials are now complete, and the
Government officials are evidently well
satisfied that they will be able to prove
all they undertake.

cussed..The Star Spangled BAN
ner.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The Herald's
special from Washington says 1t is ru-
mored that the, object of the proposed
Intervention in Cuban affairs is to save
the cultivated parts of the island from
greater devastation and prevent further
Generalization of the sugar producing
industry. That with this object the
President had consulted with the Brit
ish, French and German Governments,
offering to join them in such mediation
as would produce a cessation of HOSTILE
ties and leave time for arrangements to
be perfected between the Cubans and
Spanish.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The Herald edi.
torially discussing the Cuban question
says the Intervention of this country
alone, OIL Cuban affairs, would certainly
lead to war between Spain and the
United States. The only chance TOR in.
tervention to be peaceful and effectual,
lies in the cooperation of other govern
ments with that OF the United States
An Intervention for what President
Grant, in his Message, calls the interes
of humanity, itself ought to be poln1
al weight, or looks to the Endorsement
of the public opinion of the world. Act
| ing alone, our motives would be open Il
suspicion, and our intervention would
| be imr uted to motives quite different
| from desire to protect the interests o.
humanity.
| The Times, editorially referring to oui
relations with Mexico and the PROPOSE
| tion 10 permit the U. S. troops to follow
marauders across the boundary, says II
the disturbances along the line, whicl
| now have become chronic, shall extend
westward to the Pacific, as they are
likely to do, the vigorous and aggressive
policy threatened by Minister Foster
will soon become necessary.
| The Times, however,. considers tina
| fillibustering, which so readily manifest,
! itself ON our side Of the line, ought to b,
checked at once, and says there is n,
treason or possible excuse for the asser
tion so often made that Lower California

of our Union, but in the meantime di
plomacy ought to be exhausted betor'
It is admitted that our troubles witt
Mexico can not be peaceably and honor

That officer felt outraged at the dail-

and that it frequently tore his clothes
off in these little antics. But this did
not restore the rent garment or allay

insisted upon his making good what the
