Local financial affairs have undergone no
special change for week past, though the
money market is reported a shade easier.
The demand for loans apd discounts keeps
well up to the supply of currency, and only
strictly first class paper peets with favorable
recognition by the banks, and the luling raj e
o. interest is 10 per cent, though we hear of
transactions to-day at per cent.
In the outside market there is large
amount of paper offering, and private lenders
are able to realize from l1z@2 per cent. q

Eastern exchange is more abundant, but still
below the wants of business, and the counter
rates are firm at lilo to 3 pre- mum.
The value of city orders has undergone
sudden depreciation; they are now quoted at

Satisfied Curiosity.

A FRIGHTFUL scene took place at the
Vaise Railway station, Lyons, France,
on the I'd inst. A superb Nubian lion,
intended for the Bidel menagerie.
which had just arrived, was left in the
station awaiting orders from its own
ers. The Superintendent took the pre-
caution Of removing the truck in
which the animal was brought to Lyons
into corner off the line of the ordi-
nary traffic, and put a barricade around
it to prevent the accidental approach
of strangers. All these steps, howev-
er, afforded only a stimulant to the
curiosity of some persons who happen
ed to be in the station. Among them
was cattle-merchant, who was seized
with an insane desire to go up to
the wild animal and caress it as he
might do a cow or a sheep that he had
just purchased. He put his arm in
side the cage for this purpose, but in
another moment horrible cries were
heard, and attracted all the workmen
and officials to the spot where the lion
had been safely placed out of the
reach of doing harm to all but those
who might wilfully seek danger. The

An Indians Last Shot.

On Monday morning, Aug. p, four
white men, while out hunting about
two miles from Deadwood, killed a
deer, and while they were skinning it.
one OF them saw an Indian approach
ing them, leading his pony. He was
probably trying to surprise them, but,
being uncertain of their exact posi-
ton, he had approached too near, and
they discovered him first. One of the
party snatched up his shotgun, loaded
with buck-shot, and fired both barrels.
bringing down the Indian and his DO
ny. The confident manner in which
the Indian had walked toward them
had led them to suppose that he was
supported by a number of others, and
so they quickly retreated toward Dead
wood for reinforcements. A party
started out to scout the country, and.
on reaching the spot where the deer
lay, the men saw the body of the In
dian by the side of his pony, and,
thinking him dead, they rushed for
ward. This action was fatal to one of
the party, for shot from the Indians
rifle struck him in the heart. A vol
ley from the others killed the Indian
instantly, however, and his body was
quickly surrounded by the white men.
The Indian had been almost riddled
with buckShOt, one shoulder and both
legs having been broken, yet he had
managed to bandage his legs and to
take unerring aim with his wounded
arm. Knowing that his life would be
taken without doubt, he had prepared
to sell it as dearly as possible, and, "
ing on his back, he rested his rife on
his wounded legs and shot dead the
foremost Of his aSsailants. In his
mouth was another cartridge ready to
reload. His rifle was the best and latest
breech-loading arm issued to the army
in 1875, and it was probable that he had
obtained it in the Custer or Reno fight,
since an old bullet-mark in the grip of
the stock showed that it had been in
action. Hills Pioneer.

THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN.

ACROSS the dull and brooding night
A giant flies, with demon light
And breath of wreathing smoke:
Around him Whirls the Keeling plain,
And with a dash of grim disdaln
He cleayes the sundered rock.
In lonely swamps the low Wlnd stlrs
The belt of black funeral firs
That murmur to the sky;
Till startled by his mad career,
They seem to keep a hush of fear,
As if god swept by.
Through many dark wild heart of heath,
Ger blooming bridges, where beneath
midnight river braWls;
BY ruins, remnants of the past,
Their ivies trembling IN the blast;
BY singing waterfalls.
The slumberer on his silent bed
Turns to the light his lonely head,
Divested of its dream.
Long leagues of gloom are hurried DER,
Through tunnel sheaths, with iron roar,
And shrill, night-rending scream.
Past budding huts, past flying farms,
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
Are graphing with the night;
He tears along receding lands,
To where the kingly city stands,
Wrapt in robe of light.
Here, round each wide and gushing gate,
A crowd of eager faces wait,
And every smile is known;
We thank thee, o thou Titan train
That in the city once again
We clasp our loved, our ownl
