a LIONESS LOOSE.
How one of Barnum's Beasts Fright
ened The Beholders and Fought Out
an Old Quarrel.

Much excitement was created il Bar
nuns menagerie at Twenty sixth street
and Fourth avenue, New York, ,on Wednes-
day morning, by the escape of young
lioness from the cage in which she and
three other young cubs were confined.
The assistant keeper, Jack Parker, had
entered boldly into the lions don" for the
purpose of cleaning out the cage, and had
succeeded in driving the four cubs into a
corner, when suddenly and with great
agility the lioness, perciving the door open,
made spring into the arena, knocking
down the assistant keeper in her course.
The on-lookers made no delay In getting
into places or safety. The brute, how
ever, paid no attention to them, but rushed
toward 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 lioness was in a moment beat
ing herself against the bars of her enemy S
cage. The tiger howled back his defiance,
across the face of the lioness, inflicting a
severe wound. Her leonine majesty, more.
over, also got in some effective work, and
before the fight was oyer the tigers bloody
head and other marks showed that the
battle was not all one-sided. The terrific
roars of the infuriated beasts had mean
while attracted large crowd about the
hippodrome, and in the absence of Charles
White, the tanner, none of the employees
dared TO interfere He was sent for, and
on coming into the arena. made rush al
the lioness. A briel contest ensued, the
hurley brute Offering some resistance, but
Mr.. White succeeded in forcing her into
her cage again, where he whipped hel
soundly.

An exchange gives tho following
account Of a wessel's stratagem, with
the suspicious remark that it was
vouched Tor BY = friend: "a grist
mill was infested with large rats, un-
til weasel came there and destroyed
nearly all of them. There Vas, how
ever, one largo rat which he could not
conquer. They had several pitched
battles in which the rat whipped tho
weasel, until, whenever the rat ap-
peared, the weasel would seek safety
in flight. They were watched for
several days, when the weasel was
observed to be digging hole under
pile of lumber. After he had COM
pletei it, he approached the mill, and
the rat came after him as usual. He
made some show Of fight until he had
got the rat interested, and then ran
into his hole. The rat followed, whom
the weasel was seen to como out ct
tho other end of the hole, and run in
at the entrance after the rat. Subse-
quent examination proved that tho
weasel had made the hole large en-
ough for the rat to enter, but had con-
tracted the other end 80 that he could
not get out. Having thus trapped
his antagonist, the weasel took him
in the rear, and easily conquered.

On Thursday last, = largo white
bull belonging to Mr.. Patterson, on
his farm near Peabody, in some way
got loose from tho stall in which it
WAS tied, and the men OF the family
being far from the house in the field,
Mrs. Patterson attempted to catch tho
animal by approaching it with basin
Of salt. This seemed to work well st
6rst, as the animal, on being called
came near and bowed its head, % If
it were about to l,ck the salt. At
this instant Mrs. Patterson attempted
to catch tho animal by the ring in its
nose, and, to her surprise, the beast
plunged at her and threw her into the
air ten feet. When she fell to the
ground the beast made another rush
At her, but her pet dog seeming to
take in the perilous situation Of its
Mistress, caught tho bull BY the ring
in its nose and held it until sssis.
tance arrived and the animal vss
captured, thus saving the woman
from fearful death. Mrs. Patterson
though badly bruised, is doing well.
Mrs. Patterson also states that this
little dog saved the life of her
husband in = similar manner some
time ago.-Atchison Kaa.) Cham

Pccslisriaies of Henry Clay.

In his day it was the habit Of the
polite world Of the Capitol, dressed in
their gayest, to repair to the Senate
Chamber to listen to him whenever he
spoke. He was everybody's pet. No
man has ever had such admiration
since. No man has ever got habitu-
ally such splendid and brilliant audi
enccs a. he. Those were days of
grand debate, when the press had not
gained such prestige-before oratory
had given way in Congress 10 the re-
porters. There we're no holes in the
sky then, and you could not prick IN
orator, like bubble with witty sar.
casm. Clay never disappointsd-he
would not have dared. But he dared
things that no other man then or now
would dare. At the end Of . bril-
liant passage he would pause delib-
erately, and walk six steps across the
aisle to Robert J. Walkers snuff box,
and taking . pinch gracefully be-
tween his finger and thumb, return to
his desk and put it with such ineffa-
bic distinction TO his nostrils that tho
whole audience was ready to burst
into applause. With any other man
this would have been ridiculous.
Clay made it sublime. 1t was like
the great king going to bed in the
presence of sdmiring courtiers.-Ex.

1t costs money. Often more than
is spent for bread, and it brings no
equivalent in return. It contains not
particle of nourishment for the mus
c!es or brain, remains undigestcd in
the system, goes the rounds of tho
circulation as pure alcohol ~ when
taken, and if unchanged in its form
can really add no nourishment to the
body. 1t does no good IS drink,
but much harm. 1t never makes bet
ter husbands and fathers, but chang
es man into a brute If taken in excess,
disturbs the harmony of the family,
beats the wife, beggars the children,
ruins the domestic relations. 1t new
er makes better citizens and neigh
bors, but often arrays neighbor against
neighbor, creates lawsuits and quar-
rels. 1t never makes one more indus
trious and attentive to business, but
it generally leads to laziness, indo-
lcnce and pauperism. 1t never adds
a cent to the public treasury, but it
costs the nation, even in the most el-
evated nation of the world, more than
the education of our children and the
support of the gospel. 1t never
makes better Christians, but it is tho
auxiliary of all crimes, the abettor of
gambling. licen,iousness, and Sab
bath breaking. 1t is oil wrong, oil
harmful, all degrading to our fallen
humanity, all at war with an elevat-
ed civilization, check or human
progress, the direct antagonist Of all
that is good. 1t is able to conquer

poets, sully the best reputation, tar
nish the purest character, sunder the
strongest and most endearing bonds

nothing good.-Ceodr Rapids Times.

The position of women is undoubt-
edly higher among the Friends than in
any other society. From George Fox's $
time an equal place has been assign.
ed them in the family of God, as 10
the human family, in the Church, Is
we'll as in human society. Their di.
vine commission, "Go tell my breth-
rem that ascend to my Father and
their Father, to my God and their
God" has been recognized and mar.
rowed down by no human limita-
ton. Without committing ourselves
to the bold rationalizing exegesis of
the Quskeress, who when hard pres
ed by certain Pauline texts relative
to women keeping silence in the
church, replied, "Thee knows Paul
was not partial to females" We may
say that the Friends alone have prov
ed themselves free from the old ten.
dency to stick to the letter Of Scrip.
ture, and sin against its divine pro-
gressive spirit, binding women, after
nineteen centuries of freedom, with
precisely the old worn out bandsges
and restrictions which were neces.
sary to preserve social order when
first Christianity enfranchised women,
and proclaimed the equality Of the
sexes. And, perhaps, that laborious
Society for the Protection of Provi.
dence which exists in our midst might
study the result with advantage, and
might even learn in the time that, as
we do not make laws to prevent weak
armed men from being blacksmiths,
to quote from John Stuart Mill, 50 we
need not in the long run make re.
strictions to keep women from
spheres for which Providence has
unified them, nature being abund-
an,ly strong enough to preserve the
order OF the sexes without the help
Of our crutches. Free to exercise
any exceptional gift in public, aud
taking their regular share in the bus
mess of the Church, the quaker wo-
men are profoundly domestic, though
with certain largeness of mind and
absence Of fe minnie lit,leness, which
doubtless springs from wider train

Farmers Boys.

Do not be discouraged because
your parents are poor, and not able to
give you all you want. Daniel Web
ster, in early life, was poor boy on
poor farm. Henry Clay rode q poor
old gray mare to mill with grist to
feed the family Of his widowed moth
er. Douglass was born and inherited
poverty. Lincoln cat wood and split
rails in early manhood. Henry Will
son was born in poverty, want sitting
by his cradle. From ten years of age
until twenty-one he worked for a
yoke of oxen and six sheep. Quail
not at poverty. 1t is good place to
begin. Look up. Aim higher. Earn
and expect better things. There are
a plenty Of ladders 10 climb, and it
can be done easiest without encum-
brance. Nearly every grea, and
good man in Iowa by necessity went
barefoot and wore patched breech"s
in early life. The log cabin in the
valley is better place to begin the
race Of life than the palace on the
hill. The world needs good men, and
is seeking them every year. True
merit never goes unnoticed or unre-
warded. Book learning and practical
knowledge have to be happily CON-
bined to make the successful man.
Seek knowledge. Stand perpendicu-
lar. Never listen to prevarica,ion for
convenience or for success Any end
accomplished by deceit or dishonesty
is only temporary and delusive. Let
every boy resolve at once to be hon
est and upright, no matter how for
tune may smile or frown. Follow
the footsteps Of other great men from
poverty to the lofty positions they
have occupied in the hearts Of their
countrym-n and in the world.
II the boys who are now growing
up around US are to legislate for the
twentieth century, they should early
dedicate themselves TO truth and
honor. If they are to be farmers,
road. masters, school trustees, legisls-
tors, judges or governors, they should
early learn the difference between
money making and money stealing.
Cultivate, then, keen sense of integ-
riiy, and determine through life, what
ever may betide, the right to approve
and the wrong to condemn. In no
case, either in earnest or Joke, make
light of virtue or excuse or palliate
vice or immortality. Stand by the
right, and be able in any company to
look an honest man in the eye. DO
these things, and you will be happy
and the world better by the influence
OF your example.-State Register.
