wild Beast Tanners.

In review of Frost's book on sCircus
Life and Circus Celebrities the PcW
Mall Gazette says: Menageries form
also an attractive part of some travelling
shows, and the tanners of wild beasts are
prominent among circus celebrities. Van
Amburgh, in answer to question put by
the Duke of Wellington, said that if h.
ever felt afraid he should retire ''from
the wild beast line" The greater num-
her of lions in this country were bred in
cages, and are more readily tanned than
those purchased in wild state. It is
said that the Sangers own lion which is
so tame that it is allowed to roam at
large in their house like cat. Lion
tanners must be strictly sober men. Ma.
como, one Of the most daring Of the fra.
ternity, never drank any beverage
stronger than coffee. Many stories of his
exploits are told by showmen. One of
the finest tigers ever imported into
this country, and said to be the
identical beast that escaped from jam
rach's possession and killed bow before
it was captured, was purchased by Man.
ders and placed in a cage with another
tiger. The two beasts soon began to
fight, and were engaged in furious con-
f1ict. when Macomo entered the cage,
armed only with whip, and attempted
to separate them. Both tigers immedi.
ately turned their fury on him, and Sc.
vcrely lacerated him with their sharp
claws, but, covered with blood as he was.
he continued to belabor them with the
whip until they cowed before him, and
knew him for their master.'' Like Val
Amburgh and Crockett, Macomo died q
natural death. Mccarthy, the successor
of Macomo, was less fortunate. He was
of Incorporate habits, and often turned
his back upon the animals, though eau
toned not to do so. He died
horrible death at Bolton, as some Of cur
readers may remember. The exhibition
of wild beasts is rarely very profitablc,so
great are the expense and risk; but it ap.
pears that the animals will sometimes rem
der their keepers essential service when
in pecuniary difficulties. A sheriff Off
Ger was one day about to arrest doctor,
when the man ran under an elephants
belly and took up safe losition on the
other side. The officer trying to go be-
hind, was prevented by sudden move
ment Of the elephants headquarters; he
then tried to dive under the animal. but
the beast gave him slap with his trunk
''I'll have you if wait here all day." said
he, as he drew back hastily. 'You had
better not wait till ] unfasten this chain;''
said the elephant keeper, pretending to do
what he threatened, upon which the Off
Ger moved off, and the man escaped.

A Tornado Sweeps Through q Suburb

of Detroit.
detroit, Mich, June eth, Correspondence of
Chicago Times.
A tornado swept over the northwestern
part Of the city this evening, demolshing
some thirty or forty houses, killing four
persons, and injuring many others. 1t
had been raining hard for an hour or two,
and had cleared off beautifully when the
tornado came. 1t struck the city at it's
western limit, near Twenty first street,
and continued to the corner of Grand
River and Twelfth streets, and mile and
quarter northeast. This part of the
city is thinly settled, with wide areas of
open common, and all the houses are
small, cheaply built frame structures.
Every building in the path of the hurri-
cane was either utterly demolished or I'M
rooted. The air was filled with flying
debris, planks, roofs, shingles, and cloth.
ing. Many saw the danger and rushed
from their houses, but were caught
in the whirlwind and carried
for rods. Others were caught in the
rooms of their houses. The loss of life,
however, was surprisingly small. Charles
Pcike AID Mrs. Fred Rademacker were
fatally injured. An infant child of Mr..
Peike's was killed outright. A boy, 10
years old, named Richard Bates, was blown
through the air 500 feet, when he struck
in an elm tree, so feet from the ground,
and was seen to fall. He Was dead when
pick up. Joseph Merritt and his fami-
ly had wonderful escape. He and four
children we're in the house, which was
lifted up, carried 20 feet and dashed
against the earth, crushing it fat. He
csca ped with the loss of is ear, and his
children were none of them dangerously
injured. Owing to the wide extent of ter
ritory, and the lateness of the hour at
which the accident occurred, it is impossi-
bic to give full list of casualties. The
four fatalities mentioned above are, how
ever, supposed to be all. Over leo per.
sons were more OF less injured. and are
attended by the physicians. The total
damage to property will probably not fall
short of 100000. The crash of the build
ings was distinctly heard for miles. and
thousands rushed to the scene OF the dis.

All that Remains of the Assassin
Booth.
( Washington Letter to the New York Express
I happened up to the Surgeon Gener-
ais office the other day on business, and
while waiting ] took strole through the
museum up stairs. This is in Fords old
theatre, where President Lincoln was
shot. Among the many thousand speci-
mems I Twas shown the third, fourth and
fifth cervica vertebra taken from the
neck Of the assassin Booth, while near by.
IL a small vial, was portion of the spl-
nal cord from the cervical region. The
stranger would not know to whom these
belonged, for there is nothing to inform
him, nothing but a number and descrip-
ton of the wounded parts from which
they were taken, and the following an
nouncement: 'From case where death
occurred few hours after injury, April
2G, 1867 knew the correct history
of them, for there was Rochester boy
with me, who, acting as orderly for DIR.
Otis at the time (who cut these little
bones and cords from the neck of Bo th),
carried them up to the museum. This
was John Callahan, formerly of Company
NJ, Eighth New York cavalry. Strange
to say, these relics Of Booth are placed
very. near the place where stood the box
in which his victim was when shot. See
ing these things, of course my mind went
back to the martyred President-espc.
cially were my recollections Of what | had
heard Of him and his family more vivid
in view of the late affliction that has be-
fallen his widow.

The Black Hills Gold Find.
Letterin the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
CusrER's PARK, June II, 1875.

CUsrER's PARK, June II, 1875.
We arrived here this afternoon, after a
march Of twenty-nine miles. At 2.45 A.
NJ, we were called up, and, after having
breakfast, striking tents and packing the
wagons, We're on the march at 4:30
o'clock. We travelled through very
mountainous country and over a road
that, considering it had been recently
made, might be called good. Colonel
Dodge and two companies of cavalry
came on two days ahead of us, as our
party had to remain behind to allow Cap
tain Tuttle, the astronomer Of the party,
to locate the 10th meridian, which is the
boundary between Wyoming and Dakota.
He found that it lies considerably to the
west Of here, SO that the valuable part Of
the hills, if there is any such. lies en-
tirely in Dakota.
There are several parties of miners
here, and although they have been here
two or three weeks, they have not made
it very profitable as yet. They say hat
they get from to 3 cents to the pan,
which is not enough pay, unless it is
worked on large scale, and that could
hardly be done here, as water is scarce
and there IS not fall enough to the streams
to carry off the waste. We will know
more about the amount Of gold, however,
in few days. as the miners of the party
will start to work tomorrow to keep at
it for some time.
The value of the timber has been
greatly exaggerated, as it is all Norway
pine, and is very bent and shaken by the
wind.
There are no streams running out of
the hills large enough to float out saw
logs.
The grass here is very good, but I do
not think this is an agricultural country,
as we had a snow last Saturday, and last
night we had a frost at our camp, it's pc.
sition being lat. A deg. 2 min. Is Sec,
and lon. l04 deg.
AS am rather tired after our long
ride, and this letter goes in with the
courier who takes Mr.. Jenney's dis
patches, I will make this letter short, but
| will have longer, and think more
interesting note for the next mail.

But he assumed to declare General
Sheridan, whose services TO the country
had been so much greater than his own,
unfit to live here Having done nothing
himself to save the Union, he sets out,
now, to prescribe who shall be its citi-

tain the Republic, Bayard, who gave no
help at all, mounts the Judgment seat to
order him hanged or banished' Com
merctdl.
All who have read Mr.. Bayard's speech
know that he neither proposed to cor
der" Sheridan hanged or banished -
nor did Mr.. Bayard declare that Sher-
dan was unfit to live here" The COM
niercial should learn to quote correctly
if it wants its readers to put any faith
in what it says.
SherIdan's services to his country are
Of doubtful character. His merciless
raid in the Valley of Virginia does not
speak in praise Of him as civilized and
christian warrior. On the contrary il
paints his character as that of the saw

may yet be called to atone by Him who
makes all things even. After destroying
all the improvements that he could ap
proach in Virginia and rendering that
part of the country as near desolate az
possible, one would think this rutbles,
soldier would be satisfied But instead
he seeks again the privilege Of destroy
ing greater numbers of the white pcopl,
of America. Mr.. Bayard's services ar,
to secure peace and prosperity, to bull,
up the country. Sheridan's object ant
desire is to destroy life, tear down, bun
