The Tigers Of JeypOre.

Core sDondence of the London Telegraph.
There we're nine residents of Jey-
pore, however, who were not allowed
to witness the royal entry, albeit
their dwelling place was not hundred
yards from the Princes route. Nine
residents of Jeypore, in cages, not so
much because they were wicked in the
past as that they might possibly be
troublesome were they allowed to
mingle at present with the crowd in
the streets. 1t was we'll they were so
confined, for few more savage than
they were ever seen. have in differ
ent parts of the world visited Zoologi-
cal gardens and wondered at the ami
mails collected therein, but never did
see such fearful beasts as were these
nine. There was tiger fully twelve
feet long, which had made twenty-five
hearty meals off as many unoffending
men, women, and children. There was
a tigress which, 50 often as she saw
Europeans, waxed furious and frantic.
and endeavored to tear down the slight
cage in which she was pent up. There
was an old tiger whose powers and pro-
pensities were such that even Jeypo-
reans had thought fit to vote him a
double set of bars, eating half a goat,
and growing as though he would leave
it and spring into the street every mo-
ment. There was a lank tiger which
it was said could spring further than
any of it's kind in the world-an aero
batic, athletic, wiry beast, that once,
some months ago, leaped up into a tree
and took therefrom thoughtless shik-
aree, who imagined at the height Of
fifteen feet from the ground he was
perfectly safe and could laugh any saw
age animal in the kingdom to scorn.
And there were three more, about each
of which terrible tales were told of
ravaged villages, plundered focks, and
desperate struggles before they were
enticed into traps and thence con-
veyed to the Maharajah's cages. Two
leopards, who appeared to have arrived
at the border of frenzy, completed the
nine who alone in Jeypore were not in
vited to bid the Prince welcome. ALI
the rest were there; even the convicts,
with their heavy leg irons, were al
lowed a glance at the royal guest-a
day of happiness in a life Of gloom.
TO cultivate the tuberose, that most
beautiful of all plants, put the bulbs in
six-inch pots, three in each, and use
mixture of equal parts turfy loan,
peat, and leaf-mold, and place it in the
pit. Give very little water at first, and
as they commence to grow freely in
crease it and keep near the glass.
When they begin to push up their
dower-spikes they will of necessity
require to be placed where they will
have sufficient space for the proper de-
velopment of the tall spikes. These
will come into bloom from August to
October, when they will require tenn
perature ranging from 80 degrees to 70
degrees, the latter being preferable.
If wanted to bloom earlier, the pots
should be placed in a warm pit and on
a hotbed the temperature Of which is
about IS degrees, to start them in
growth more quickly.

B Hon. John NJ. Bright
was serenaded at the residence
Of DR.. w. C.Br;ght last Wednes-
day night, and in a speech &C
knowledging the compliment
made a statement that ought
to be generally known. He
said that Hon. Geo. S. Bout
well, of Massachusetts, a prom
inent Radical spouter, said in a
speech in Washington City a
few weeks ago, that even if the
Democrats were successful in
the Presidential election, they
would not be allowed to take
charge Of the government. Ac-
cording to his programme, the
revolutionary party is deter
mined not to surrender its lease
of Office, although the people
may decide against them.

~ Our former citizen, j..
Temp. Wilson, is. as we have al
ready said, sheriff of Palo Pinto
county, Texas. He has lively
time out there on the border of
civilization, as the following from
the Western Star shows
HOMICIDE. As we are inform
ed, on Friday was week ago;
one Afford Ward was at the house
of one John Applewhite in Wise
county, and was there again on
Saturday, after which on the same
day Ward left the neighborhocd.
On Sunday morning Applewhile
missed a pair Of boots, and sus
pecting Ward started in pursuit
Of him. Pursuit was kept up as
far as the MIIsap farm in the
western edge of Parker county, at
which place the trail was lost,
But having been informed by the
Sheriff of Parker of the barbe cue
at this place, Applewhite came
.on arriving at this place on Mon
day evening, when conference
took place with Sheriff Wilson,
who instructed Applewhite to
keep a sharp look out and inform
him when he should find the fu-
gitive. Accordingly on Tuesday
morning between 9 and 10 the
pursuer and the pursued discover
ic e each other a Ic:.. the same time.
Ward seemed to be disposed to
carelesiy steal away from bis com,
rades and Applvwhite advanced
calling upon him, both approach
ed each other to within a few feet,
when few words passed and
some slight offensive de nonstra.
ti"ns were made by both parties.
Ward turned to run and Apple.
white fired pistol and following
in pursuit called for the Sheriff.
Soon Sheriff Wilson was on hand
and both parties were arrested
While walking back leisurely,
Ward seized the sheriff pistol and
broke remarking, "my business
lies in this direction" Alarm
was Immediately given and con-
stable Bell and Others followed in
pursuit and overtaking the fleeing
party in the field of Capt VIM
Veale near town, a spirited little
fight took place in which Ward
was killed.
Upon examination two shots
were. found to have taken effect.
One supposed to be from the pis-
tol Applewhlte and the other from
a pistol from some one of the sher.
ifs posse. An inquest was held
by Justice E. K. Taylor, and the
verdict Of the jury was to the eff
feet that deceased came to his
death from a gunshot wound re,
ceived while resisting officers of
the law in the l'wlul discharge Of
their duty.
Applewhite is held over 10 an
swer a charge Of assault with the
intent to MURDER" which is set to
be heard Monday, 7th of August.

wanted some small change, and Tat he
would be under many obligations to HIN 4
he could change him twenty dollar go.d-
piece, which he profered. The Whining
ton man told him that he had but eleven
dollars. This he gave him, and held q
bundle for him until he returned. But alas
tie stranger did not returned. An investi-
cation of the gold piece and the bundle de
stroyed all hope that he would ever return.
The bundle contained dilapidated hoop

By American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, D. c. March 17.-Gov-
ernor Campbell Of Wyoming appeared be-
fore the Committee on War Expenditures,
this morning, and denied the statement in
yesterdays New York Herald, connecting
him with a post-traderspip. c. K. Peck of
the firm of Durfee & Peck, post-traders at
half dozen posts on the Missouri river,
was the next examined. His firm was
summarily removed from the post at Fort
Buford, Dakotah Territory, and was given
to A. G. Leighton of Iowa. The witness
never knew that Leighton had to pay any
thing for the appointment. Peck was fur
ther examined regarding other posts. After
detailing the fact that he was driven away
from number of posts, he said in order to
keep the post at Fort sully, he had to pay
W. c. Babcock, brother to O. E. Babeock,
$3.50 per quarter. He was not aware of any
money that went into %. E. Babcock's
hands, but when he corresponded with W..
c. Babcock, he sent his letters to Gen. O.
E. Babcock, Executive Mansion, Washing
ton. The only other interesting feature of
his testimony, was that, Immediately after
Orville Grant got the leadership at Stand
ing Rock, which was on the Sioux Reser-
vation, the Reservation was extended across
the Missouri river, and thus Orville Grant
got the monopoly of the trade and the
value of the post was greatly Increased. 1t
was worth before that $40, 900. After Peck s
examination the Committee adjourned till

A Sequence OF Poor Architecture
oy American Press Association.


NORWICH, Conn.,, March ia jury Of
inquest into the cause of the death of four
teen persons in the poor-house fire on the
night of March 10, find that the victims
came to their death from the said fire, the
origin of which is by them unknown, but
from the evidence offered, they judge it orr
ginated in the furniture room, and they
further find that the superintendent of the
premises used his very best efforts with the
means at his disposal to save the lives Of
those persons in charge, that the great loss
Of life was attributable to the improper con-
struction of the building from its great
height, and having no means of escape
externally, and that the internal arrange
ments were such that they were entirely In
adequate to furnish egress from the upper
stories in case of emergency, and that nc
facilities whatever in the way of water
were on the premises for the purpose Of ex.
tinguishlng the fire.
