A tYoNEss LOOSE.
How..One Of Barnulms Beasts
Frightened the Beholders and
Fought out an Old Quarrel.

Much excitement was created in
Darnum's menageric at Twenty-siXth
street and Fourth avenue. New York,
on Wednesday morning, by the cs-
cape of young lioncss from the cage
in which she and three other young
cubs were confined. The assistant
keeper, Jack Parker, had entered
boldly into the ''lion's den" for the
purpose of cleaning out the cage, and
had succeeded in driving the four
cubs into q corner, when suddenly
and with great agility the lioness,
percciving the door open, made a
spring into the arena, knocking down
the assistant keeper in her course.
The on-lookers made no delay in
getting into place of safety. The
brute, however, paid no attention to
them, but rushed to the cage of a
BENGAL tiger in another part of the
building. There was, it appears, an
old feud between the two beasts since
they made together the journey to
New York, and without a DETECTION
in her course. the lioncss was in mo.
ment beating herself against the bars
of her cnemy's cage. The tiger howl
ed in defiance, and managed to draw
his fierce claws across the face of the
lioncss, inflicting severe wound
Her leoninc majesty, moreover, also
got in some effective work, and before
the fight was over the tigers bloody
head and other marks showed that
the battle was not all one-sidcd. Tho
terrific roars Of the Infatuated beasts
had meanwhile attracted large
crowd about the Hippodromc, and in
the absence of Charles White. the
tanner. none of the employees dared
to interfere. He was sent for, and or
coming into the arena, made u rush
at the lioness. A brief contest eli.
sued, the hurley brute offering some
resistance, but Mr.. White succeeded
in forcing her into her cage again
where he whipped her soundly.

How II lsIn New York.

New YORK, Nov. ll.-There was
less excitement in the streets this
concerning the Presidential
election. There were, as usual, large
crowds around the different bulletin
boards, but they were less eager,noisy
and demonstrative than on previous
days, the democrats and republicans
both having made up
their minds MOI to halo until they
were quite certain that they are out
Of the woods. The rooms of the re-
publican national committee at Fifth
Avenue Hotel, were abandoned last
night, as the lease of them had ex-
PRED. The committee are now &C.
another room in the sue
Mr.. Clancy, clerk of the
committee, said no new dispatchcshad
been received.
The Post says that confer
encc of prominent Republicans at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening held
to discuss the advisability of uniting
with the democratic committee in re-
questing eminent citizens to go to
Louisiana, was dissolved with no re.
suit, on account of the report of the
news of the Presidents proclamation
In view of the proposed measure i,
was declared unnecessary. At the
democratic headquarters, at the Ev.
erett House, affairs are quiet, though
a ripple of excitement was occasioned
by the report OF tho Conover dis
patch. Several visitors spoke favor
ably of Gen. Grants proclamation
saying they saw nothing wrong in it
il he meant what he said.

The Feat of a Brave Woman.

Mr.. Cameron, says the Picton (On-
taria) Times, was taking a bull from
the field to the barn. When near the
door of the barn the brute became
enraged and made an attack upon Mr..
Cameron, who ran from him, and at
the same time called his dog and en-
deavored to urge him to an attack
upon the bull. Mrs. Cameron hap
pencd to hear her husbands call for
the dog, and at once ran to his assist
ance. When she reached the spot
the Infatuated beast had knocked Mr..
Cameron down, and was goring and
treading upon him in frightful
manner. Mr.. Cameron had strug-
gled hard to defend himself, and had
caught hold of the ring inserted in
the animals nose. This he held to
with a death-like grip when Mrs.
Cameron came up. In an instant the
brave and noble women took in the
| whole situation, and made an effort
to rescue her husband that can only
challenge our wonder and admira-
ton. She, with a great effort, re-
leased Mr.. Cameron's grip upon the
ring, and, taking firm hold upon il
herself, literally forced the bull away
and dragged him to the field again
and fastened him in. There was nc
one to assist her except little boy
who was able to do nothing more
than open and close the gate. She
then returned to her husband and
carried him, bruised and mutilated
to the house. The saddest feature o.
all is that the vicious brute had done
its work too well. Mr.. Cameron sur
vived but a short time.

The Pool of Sloan as It Now
Appears.

Dudley Charles Warner, in q, recent
article TO the atlantic, says:
On our way to the Pool of Sloan
we passed by the village OF Sloan,
which is inhabited by about one
thousand Moslems--a nest of stone
huts and caves clinging to tho sido-hill
and exactly tho gray color of its
stones. The occupation OF its inhab-
itants seems to be begging and hunt
ing for old copper coins, mites and
other pieces of jewish money.
These relics they pressed upon us
with the utmost urgency. 1t was cas-
icr to satisfy the bcggars than the
traders, who sailed out upon us like
hungry wolves, from their caves
There is great choice of disagreca-
BILE places in the East, but cannot
now think OF any that l should not
prefer as residence, to Sloan.
The Pool of Sloan, magniflcd in
my infant mind as "Siloam's shady
rill," is an unattractivc sink-hole of
dirty water, surrounded by modern
masonry. The valley hero is very
stony. just below we come to Solo
mons garden, an arid spot with
patches of stone walls, struggling to
be vegetable garden, and somewhat
green with lettuce and Jerusalem ar
tichokcs. 1 have no doubt it was
quite another thing when Solomon
and some of his wives used to walk
here, in the cool of the day, and even
when Stadium, the son Of Col-hozeh
set up "the wall of the Pool of Sloan
by the kings garden"

BOGUS S-RASCAllrY
EORESAAn0w

The canyassing board of South Car
olina met yesterday at Columbia. and
the attorney for the democracy filed
objections to the board hearing any
testimony or inquiring into the facts
whether the returns are grand swim
dies or not, This is the reform party
that refuses TO have rascalities I'M
earthed. No matter how bogus the
returns may be no matter how big n
farce has been enacted they want a
minority Of votes TO be counted in.
| The sun is not more observable of a
clear day than the fact that South
/ Carolina is republican by from $4,000
to 10000. The same. only with less
maioiities, is true of Florida and
Louisiana. The cN-rebel democrats
have unquestionably done what they
could to forcgo returns, to miscounr
20 stuff ballot-boxcs, and now the
programme is TO refuse 10 have these
raScalities inquired into. This will
mot pan out. These democratic rebels
must he met and their rascality de-
featcd "a these same chaps were
whipped while under arms as trait
ors. These informal scoundrcls can
not run tins country by their rascali-
ties. We have shed the patriotic
blood of hundreds of thousands 10
prevent such vile work winning. The

presidential chair, if chosen thereto

Barnwcll, S. c., was said in July to
claim the oldest couple in this coun-
try, John Il. Peoples and wife, aged
l26 and 123. In May it was said that
Mrs. Mella Dodd, of Bowling Green,
Ky, llG years old, was going to the
Centennial to see if she could keep
her daughtcrs-two girls OF So and
81, out of mischief !; and in June came
the report that Eulalla Percy CULLEN,
l3S years old, had been kidnapped at
Los Angeles, CAL, for exhibition as q
Centennial curiosity. A daughter Of
50 had started to take her to Phila-
delphia the month before for the pur-
pose of exhibition, but q granddaugh-

EVERY DAY RELIGIoN.-We must
come back to our point, which is, not
to urge all of you to give yourselves
up to mission work, but to serve God
more and more in connection with
your daily calling. l have heard
that a woman who has q mission
makes a poor wife and a bad mother
this is very possible, and at the same
time very lamentable but the mission
I would urge is not of this sort
Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns, and
children with unwashed faces are
swift witnesses against the sincerity
Of those who keep others vineyards
and neglect their own. i have no
faith in that woman who tells OF
grace and glory abroad, and uses nc
soap and water at home. Let thu
buttons be on the shirts, let the chill
dren's socks be mended, let the roast
mutton be done to a turn, let TIT
house be Us neat as new pin, and
the home be as happy as home can be
Serve God by doing common action'
in a heavenly spirit, and then, if yonl
daily calling only leaves you crack
and crcyiccs Of time fill these mp witt

THE WAY PINs ARE MADE.-Thc
pin machine approaches as near to
the dexterity of the human hand as
any machine ever invented. 1t is
about the size of a sewing machine,
and its work is thus described: A
snappish, yoracious little dwarf of a
machine pulls the wires, bites it off by
inches necessarily, one hundred and
forty bites .miAute, and just as it
seizes each bite, o saucy little ham
mer, with a concave face, hits the end
of the wire three taps and "upsets" it
to a head, while he grips it in coun-
ter-sunk hole between his teeth, and
lays it in groove, where levers and
springs, playing like lightning, point
the pins, and whence they are drop
ped into a box. The pins are then
polished, and two very intelligent
machines reject every crooked pin.
Another automaton asserts half q
dozen lengths, and perfect genius Of
a machine hangs the heads, and
transfers them to slips of paper, and
by one movement sticks them Ill
through two corrugated ridges IL
the paper, when the work is finished
