The Lion Left.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. To-day a
circus exhibited in this city, ana the
city was crowded with people. About
9 O'Clock, the man having charge of the
sea-lions was sent TO Lake Winnebago,
at the foot of Merritt Street, with the
cage containing the monsters, in order
to fill the cage tank with water. Oh
arriving ut the lake, the wagon was
backed into the water and the outside
doors thrown open, when the sight OF
so much water excited the animals, and,
after tearing around, one of them sue
ceeded in breaking through the wire,
escaping into the lake, but before its
mate could follow one of the men jump
ed into the water and hastily closed the
outside door, stopping all the egress.
The freed animal swan out about a
quarter of a mile and disappeared. All
that was now left for the keepers to do
was to return to the show and tell
their story To say that the manage
ment were excited would hard
rly express it, and the man was
promptly discharged. A reward OF
$500 was offered for the capture of the
animal, but as yet the deep has failed
to yield up its new and strange inhab-
liant. This sea-lion was a valuable
feature to the show, as whole litter of
little lions was expected in afew days.
ANY one who understands the catching
of sea-lions can now come to Oshkosh
and show their skill, and they can rest
assured that they will be cordially re-
ceived by the numerous boys who fire.
quent the waters of Lake Winnebago

$500 has acted as an incentive for an
active search for the critter, and if it
escapes it will have to take to
some of the numerous marshes
along the shores. After the procession

used, and as its quality varies much
some skill is necessary 70 good selec-
ton. The best is Of q delicate yellow
color, clear and free from spots; it cuts
smoothly and evenly, with no crumb-
ling or tearing, but every line cut will
be perfect. 1t is. TO the use of this
wood by our artists that the superiority
of their designs and wood engravings
must in a great measure be attributed.
Insconsequenee of its scarcity and high
price, many, substitutes have been re-
sorted to; maple, apple, pear, mahog-
any have been expefimented upon; but
hitherto no wood, metal, or compost

the requisite qualities. In addition to

in color and texture from all other

that it comes to perfection only in a
comparatively limited region of coun-
try in the vicinity of the Black Sea. 1t

The Latest Wonder of Telegraphy.

The readers of the Traveller have been
made acquainted with the wonderful
inventions of Professor Bell, by which
musical and vocal sounds can be sent
over the electric wires, but few if any
are aware of the wonderful results
which are sure to follow these improve
ments in telegrapby. A few nights ago
Professor Ben was in communication
with a telegraphic operator in New
York, and commenced experimenting
with one of his inventions pertaining to
the transmission of musical sounds. BE
