A motion was then offered to 90
into permanent organization. This
raised commotiOn among the Re-

from the contested parishes referred
to the Legislature, the excitement
was accompanied with shouts of all
kinds which were fearful to hear,
Murrill protested against Mr.. WiltZ
as Chairman, aud stigmatized the
course pursued in placing him
there, as revolutionary. A motion
was then put to admit the members
from four contested parishes, refer
ring the matter of contest for the
Legislature, and it was carried
amidst the widest excitement.
Upon the Radical side, at such an
appointment, the excitement reach
that pitch that the seargeant-at-arms

BOssing the Cage.

On one occasion, Lent was part own
er of travelling circus and menagerIe.
One day he met a man out West who
had grizzly bear for sale. AS the ami
NAL was splendid specimen of a young
grizzly, Lent purchased him, and after
he got him he found himself in the posi-
tion of the man who drew the elephant.
There was but one cage in the menage-
rie that could contain the bear, and that
already had an occupant in the shape Of
large and finely developed Bengal til
ger. Lent told one of his partners that
he was going to quarter the grizzly with
the tiger.
"The devil you are;" was the answer.
"Why that tiger will make a square
meal of him before you can wink"
"All right. If he does, I'm satisfied" !"
says Lent. "You look after your tiger.
and I'll take care of my bear"
The grizzly was accordingly lifted in
to the cage, the tiger having been pre-
viously driven to the opposite corner by
the application of hot irons. Then all
the employees of the circus gathered to
witness the fight. The animals sighted
each other at the same instant, but while
the tigers eyes blazed with fury, and his
tail lashed the bars in his excitement,
the grizzly simply nodded in a sleepy
manner, as if in recognition of the other
beast, and crouched against the bars,
awaiting developments.
They remained as far apart as the cage
would permit at least five minutes; but
every moment the rage Of the tiger SEEM
ed TO increase while the bear seemed to
be sinking into a slumber. At last the
tiger began to growl and slide toward
the bear, moving from side 10 side Of the
cage as he did so. The growing aroused
the bear to life, and be had just time to
measure his enemy, when with the ra-
pidity of lightning the tiger sprang for
ward and alighted on his head and back.
For a moment there was a terrible how.
ling from both animals, as they rolled
over in the cage, and they separated for
an instant, the bear seeming 70 have

shaken off his antagonist. During this
brief cessation of hostilities it was seen
that the bear had got decidedly the worst
of the combat, as he was bleeding freely
from several gaping wounds.
The backer of the tiger was delighted,
and wanted Lent to consent to having
