CAREFULLY Gagged in the dimly-lighted
lower regions of the Central Park Museum
are two young lion cubs. They are three
weeks old, pair, lion and iioness, fine,
healthy little creatures, and in two weeks
more will be old enough to be shown to
the public. They are the progeny of the
pair of beasts known as Lincoln and
Jenny in the museum. But the mother
being, from confinement or some other
cause, unable to nurse them, they were at
once given to large terrier whose pup
pies were taken away and who plays the
part of foster mother. She seems, in
deed, as fond of the cubs as if they were
her own offspring, and covers them with
caresses, though they are already half as
big as she is. 1t is curious fact that
lions reared in captivity are not as gentle
as those captured and tanned. The par
ents of these cubs, which were caught
when wild and tanned, are very tractable.
while some of the other lions, which were
born and brought up here, are sullen and
ferocious.-Nelo York Times.

A GENTLEMAN of wealth residing in
Hartford found himself upon the ocean
about year ago, making his bridal trip.
he also found at the same time IN his vest
pocket 500 bill, which he supposed he
had given to the officiating clergyman.
On returning from Europe he questioned
the clergyman as to the fee he had re-
celVed, and learned that it was very small
quantity OF fine-cut chewing tobacco, care
fully folded in tissue-paper. Explana-
lions followed, and the 800 bill reached
its destination at last.

NEW York, Nov. 29.-A letter
from Wilkesburrepe states that the
most extensive and serious mining
causality ever known in Wyoming
Valley occurred at Chauncey and the
Grand Tunnel mines between Ply
mouth and Nauticoakc, about two and
q half miles south of the former place.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Roberts,
one Of the proprietors Of the Chaun-
cey mine, noticed that the roof of the
opening was working in the. most ex-
traordinary manner, and was convin-
ced that the mine was doomed to Ger.
tain calamity. About eleven o'clock
on the morning Of the 10Th inst, he
gave orders. for men to leave the
mine as soon as possible, and remove
as much Of the company property as
could be taken out on the spur Of the
moment. The miners to the number
Of la5 left at IL o'clock, taking with
them the implements Of their calling,
and two hours later the mine caved
in. The effects of the cave were

mediate vicinity. At the time the fire origin
ated, thinks there were about one hundred
and twenty-f FIVE laborers engaged IN discharg-
ing the Bodmann.
The fire extinguisbing apparatus on the
Bodmann was in perfect order. Not more
than fifteen minutes elapsed from the time
the boats caught fire until they were eban-
doned. The only time witness heard tug
called on tor assistance was by the people
who stood on the fantail Of the Exporter,
and those who stood upon the port side
of the Bodmann, Just forward of the wheel
house. Had the officers Of the Bodmann not
remained on board with the intention of saw
ing the boat, they could all have easily es-
capped before the boat drifted into the stream.
If the Kyle had not been cut loose, the
Bodmann and Exporter would have been
saved. Tugs would have drawn us out clear
of the burning steamer.

A Duel Of Journalists.

There is nothing remarkable, observes the
Pail Mall Gazette, in French journalists hav-
ing fought duel But an encounter in which
NJ. Amedee Achard, whose death has Just been
recorded, took p,rt with NJ. Floreatino, the
well-known musical critic, was of no ordinary
kind, and deserves, perhaps, word of men,
ton. NJ. Achard was wounded and nearly
killed because his name began with an A, or
rather, because it stood first on the list of
names beginning with A in the books of the
society Of men Of letters. NJ. Florentino, by
reason of the habit imputed to him of accept
ing gifts and pensions from the singers, whose
successful performances we're recorded in
his articles, found himself black balled very
unanimously by the said society," to which be
had imprudently solicited the honor Of being
admitted.
He declared war against the members in q
body. His great revenge had stomach for
them all. Bat he proposed to deal with
them one ny one; and scarcely knowing with
which to begin, he selected Amedee Achard
as first among them by alphabetical prece-
dence. Florentino's original intention seems
to have been to run through the whole of
French literature. He had no sooner, how
ever, perforated poor Achard than the police
interfered. He was arrested, tried and SEN
fenced TO brief period of imprisonment;
after which he resumed his critical occupa-
ton On the Constitutional and the Monitear
(such Is liberty OF the press in France y as if
nothing whatever had happened. He had
not proved that the accusations made against
him were untrue; but he had shown that he
would not allow himself to be reproached
with impunity.

A STRANGE VOYAGE.
Search After Hidden Treasure.

Some Of our readers will recall the facts con-
nected with al attempt some few years ago,
made by two printers in small sail boat, to
reach Enrol Island, some few miles southwark
of the Chandeleurs, in search of hidden trea-
sures. A tradition had been handed down in
the family of one of these adventures, that
an old negro cook, once employed on one of
Lafi.tesl vessels, had been witness to the
secrehng of very large amount of gold on
the Chandelier islands.
About five years ago, the last of the broth
ers in this family, in whom the possession of
these facts were, started out singly and alone
in small boat towards the fatal. Enrol Island,
and he has not been heard Of since. The re-
peated attempts to reach this almost mysteri-
GUS land and the many failures have given
occasion for considerable superstition on the
part of those who look with awe upon the un-
fathomable. Time after time have various
parties attempted to land upon the weird
shore of Enrol Island after secreted treasures
of the bold smuggler, but in every instance
their efforts have been attended with fatal
results.
The stories Of the past coming down to US
tell of considerable sums Of Spanish money
having been hid by lieutenant under the
command of LATTE. in one of the chain of
islands to the southwark of the Chande!eurs,
but as yet no proof Of this tradition has been
found. We learn that notwithstanding all the
hazards said to be incident to this Quixotic
pilgrimage there is party forming to make
another venture after the seer eted gold. By
the 18th of next month three stalwart young
gentlemen OF our city propose to dare the dan
gers of the deep and the strange spell said to
be resting about this mysterious island, and
come what may, bring solution to this
time worn question.

INTERESTING CIRCULAR FROM THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-By circular dated
January p, 1875, issued by the Government
of Mexico to collectors Of Mexican ports. It
appears that vessels procec ling from foreign
ports in ballast frequently arrive at Mexican
ports without being provided with proper
evidence as to their clearance.
1t is also to be understood that from the
publicity given to the circular, ignorance OF
the regulation can in no event he pleaded;
and, further, by a circular dated April 2, 1875.
the President has decreed that the penalty
incurred by vessels arriving at Mexican ports
in ballast, without the document above re-
ferred to- accrediting that fact, shall not take
effect until after the LIST Of August
Masters Of American vessels trading with
Mexican ports should avail themselves of this
inform alton and avoid the infection of the
penalty by complying with the regulations.
The President Of that Republic has, there
lore, ordered that masters of vessels shall. in
accordance with law, present their manifests
in triplicate, certified by tho Mexican Consul
or agent residing at the port from which the
vessels sail, or in the absence Of such a func-
tionary by one of a friendly nation, or failing
this, by two merchants, and that the order is
to be understood rs applying to vessels with
merchandise as well rs those in ballast.
