How the Prince of Wales Shot His
First Tiger.

News of "kill," as it is termed, was
brought in one Saturday morning, says DIR.
Russell in letter to the London Times; in
other words that tiger had killed bull
lock in ravine five miles from Jeypore.
At 1880 the Prince, attended by Lord A.
Pages, Lord Aylesford, Lord Darlington,
and DR.. Fayrer, rode to small country
house and garden at the entrance to the
corrie where the tiger was marked. The
Maharajah awaited him, and assembled the
hillside to a small two-storied house, loop
holed and surrounded by low wall. The
Prince, the Maharajah, Lord A. Paget,
Lord Aylesford, and Colonel Rose took
their post, the Prince of Wales being in the
upper story, while the beaters, at the head
of the corrie, made their way down toward
the lair.
1t had been the original intention to sta
tion the Prince in the stand in the ravine,
just as if at deer drive in Scotland but
the tiger having moved after its feast on
the bullock, the beaters were directed to
drive the beast down the corrie toward the
small house. Nearly two hours passed be-
fore the beaters came on the lair. The IT,
ger, reused from sleep, was seen creeping,
| cat-like, toward the small house, sometimes
lost from view, till it came within less than
thirty yards of the Prince, who fired. The
tiger gave leap and started off at q tr0t
down the ravine.
Again the Prince fired, and the tiger roll
ed over, but recovered and staggered out of
sight into the hollow, amid thick brush.
The Prince, who wished to follow the trail
on foot. mounted Fayrer's elephant and de-
scended the slope below the beasts lurking
place. The bsaters threw stones into the
ravine, and the tiger emerged at last and
walked slowly up the bank. The Prince
fired twice, but still the beast went on, fall
ing over boulder ont of sight. Al beatsr,
standing above on a bill, pointing 20 q cac~
tus bush said sIt lies there dead" The
party descended and closed around the
creature--tremendeus still in death. It
was fullgrown female. eight and half
feet long.

WHICH SHALL 1T BE

IA rich man who had no children proposed to hi
,oor neighbor, who had sever, to take one of them
md promised if the parents would consent, that hs
would give them property enough to make themselves
nd their other six children comfortable for llfe.
Which shall it be (which shall it be?
looked at John, John looked at me,
And when found that must speak
My voice seemed strar gely low and weak.
"TelI me again what Robert said,"
And then /, listening, bent my head
This is his letter.
Twill give
A house and land while you shall live,
If, in return, from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given.''
looked at Johns old garments worn,
Thought of all that he had borne
OF poverty and work and care,
Which /. though willing, could not share;
thought of seven young mouths to feed,
Of seven little children's need,
And then of this.
"Come John," said I,
wen choose among them as they lie
Asleep" So, walking hand in hand
Dear John aud surveyed our band,
First to the cradle lightly stepped
Where Lillian, the baby slept.
Softly the father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in loving way,
When dream or whisper made her stir.
And huskily he said "Not her!'
We stopped beside the trundle bed,
And one long ray of lamp light shed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep so beautiful and fair;
saw on James rough red cheek
A tear undried. Ere John could speak
'He's but baby, too," said l.,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie's angel face
Still In his sleep bore sufferings trace.
No. for thousand crowns not him"
He whispered, while eur eyes were dim.
Poor Dick bad Dick! our wayward SON
Turbulent, restless, idle one;
Could he be spared? Nay, He who gave
Babe us befriend him to the grave;
Only mothers heart could be
Patient enough for such as he;
And so," said John, 81 would not dare
To take him from her bedside prayer
Then stole we softly up above,
And knelt by Mary child of loye
perhaps for her twould better be-
l said to John. Quite silently
He lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek in willful way,
And shook his head: May, love not thee."
The while my heart beat audbly.
Only one more-our eldest lad
Trusty and truthful good and glad
So like his father. mo, John, mol
cannot, will not let him CO."
And SO we wrote, in courteous way,
We could not give one child away;
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed
Happy in truth that not one face
Was missed from its accustomed place
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in heaven.

Of Fublic Interest.

For thirty years there has been noimprovement
in the composition of porous plaster. The re.
cent discovery Of Capcine and its addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to the
consumers and the public an article Of progress.
The objection to tho ordinary article is Its slow
action. BENsoN's UAPCINE Porous PLASTER
oyercomes this great objection by etfecting in a
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac-
BENsOS's Caffeine Porous PLAsTKRs are pre-
ferred to all others on the following grounds:
First-Their composition is Of an improved ma
tuTe, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cine-Ehich, as q powerful and unerring
specinc, has never been equaled in the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vlgor, bring almost i'm
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
SecCnd-They possess all the merit of the ordi-
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties
for which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects in days and weeks Of continuous
wear.
Third-They are genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paration, skilltully combined, of the
highest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons, indorsed by physicians, and ore

Suit for Damages Against the B. and P. R. R
Verdict for Plaintiff.

Tic case Of Pruitt VS. the Baltimore and Poto-
mac railroad for damages alleged to have been
sustained by the plaintiff by being elected from a
train was yesterday morning resumed in the Cir
cult Court, Chief Justice Cartier. This is case
where the plaintiff purchased twenty. .five-trip
ticket between Washington and Alexandria, and
upon one trip when the conductor came around
the plaintiff held out his ticket to have one Of the
numbers punched out, but the conductor de-
maEded that he deliver the ticket into his icon
ductor's) hand or It would not be punched. This
the plaintiff refused to do, giving as reason that
upon several former occasions conductors Of trains
had punched out tUo numbers instead OF one.
Upon refusing to deliver the ticket into the con-
ductor's hands, he was elected from the train.
whereby he alleges, he sustained damages to the
amount of So OO0 The prayer of the plaintiff was
that If the Jury believed that he gave the con-
ductor fair opportunity 10 punch the ticket, he
should be entitled to q verdict, while upon the
ether hand the defendants prayer was that plain
tiff should have given the conductor fair oppor-
tuDity 10 examine the ticket, and Il it was neces-
sary TO such examination for the conductor to
have the ticket in his hand t was the duty Of the
plaintiff TO have delivered 1t TO him.
The Jury returned averdict for plaintiff for 800,
but the will go TO the general term on eNcep-
tiOns Loted by the defendants.
