The journal al Ua01e rccounts terrible
encounter between the lion tanner Bidel
and number of wild beasts. Biders
custom was to go into the cage of these
ferocious animals, accompanied by sheep,
which was by his presence kept safe from
attack. On recent occasion he proceeded
to the lions cage, and his first act was to
place the sheep on the back of lioness,
as he had frequently done before. No
sooner had he accomplished this than a
powerful lion sprang upon the poor sheep,
and buried his teeth deep into vital part
OF its body. There was large number
Oh spectators present, and, as may be ina
gined, the sudden act Of the lion created
an instant andEgencral panic. Bidelistep-
ped forward, and with the utmost GOODNESS
struck the lion blow on the mouth with
heavy stick, which made him crouch and
yell with pain, and throw his bleeding
victim trembling at the feet of the cour-
ageous performer In another moment,
however, all the wild beasts were dashed
into fury by the sight of the blood, and
no one III the assembly believed that Bidel
could escape Preserving his presence of
mind, however, he kept the other animals
at bay until he had subdued the lion and
chased him back to his cage. He then
fought his way back through the other
animals, and amid the braves of the assem-
bly, came out triumphantly, carrying his
wounded sheep with him. The poor ami
mai, which was great favorite of the
hon-tamer, has since died of its wounds.

Hon. George w. Julian, one of the most
eloquent men in the ranks of the Republi-
can party, is making terrible onslaught
on the supporters of Hayes and Wheeler
in Indiana, where he has troops OF friends
and followers. Speaking of the impossi-
bility of reform within the party, depend
ing upon 80 weak vessel as Gov. Hayes
for its successful Inauguration, he says:
"Have the Republican masses, after
their long and patient service under the
party yoke, the courage and virtue to take
their old leaders by the throats2 Will the
party chiefs have named meekly and pen
itentially take the back seats, while honest
and stainless men come to the front9 The
man who believes all this must have al
lowed his common sense to pack its bag
gage. The Grant leaders would reign in
any conceivable political hell, rather than
serve in the heaven of honest government
In the manipulation of caucuses and con-
ventions they have long been masters
They are journeymen and experts in the
work of politics as trade. They have re-
duced plumber and pelf to science and
the creed of clutch to fine art Nothing
can be more certain than that such a re.
form as would completely dislodge these
leaders and put such men as Bristow and
Adams in their places would be, in fact,
the creation OF a new party"

Too Noisy for Ills Size.

After most ridiculous and extavarant
plea by young lawyer in criminal case,
an old lawyer, who had way of saying
quaint things, remarked in opening the
opposing side of the case, that his young
friends elaborate plea reminded him Of
the experience of neighbor of his who
was engaged in breaking a colt, and the
story he told of it was in substance like
this. The colt breaker made his young
son hide in the bush, while lie himself
was going to mount the animal and put
him ut his top speed to the hidng-placc,
and then the boy was to rush suddenly out
and shout "Boo!" the idea being to see
how well the colt would stand the scare.
Everything was done according to pro-
gfammc, but the result was altogether too
much of scare for the colt, who kicked
up his heels and put down his head, and
the old man was thrown over it far into
the road on his head. Clearing the dust
from his looscned teeth, lie made for the
boy with the switch he had cut to drive
the colt, and with rage began shouting,
"What did you do that for ?n But,
father" said the crying boy, "you told me
to holler boo!" YES" said the old
man; but hang it, it was altogether too
big boo for so small colt"

Indian Strategy.

A correspondent of the Louisville C0m'-
ser Journal, writing from the Black Hills,
says:
In former letter l gave an account of
the killing of DR.. II. W. Smith, formerly of
Chicago, and three other citizens of Dead.
wood City by the Indians, and promised
to give you report of the party that went
In pursuit of the Indians. The party all
returned yesterday. After three DAYS hard
riding they succeeded in recapturipg about
one-haif CT the Montana herd, but they did
not make amy Roadway in killing or cap
turing the Indians. The pursuing party
soon came in sight of the fleeing Indians
with their herd of stolen horses. The
whites tried-to cut off the Indians, tried
to flank them, tried to surround them, but
the Indians outgeneralled them every time,
and got away with the best portion of the
herd in the face of a largely superior force
OF whites. A running fight was kept up
Tor TWO days. The horses scattered over
the prairie, and one venturesome Indian. in
trying to drive the stray horses into the
nerd, got cut off from his companions. and
was completely surrounded by TWENTY-FIVE
Whlte men. The Indian, quick as thought.
slid OIL his horse, and hid himself in some
high grass and weeds. The whites nm.
proached him very cautiously from all
points, but no Indian could be seen. and
the whites fired volley after volley into the
clump OF brush where the Indian was sup
posed to be, but no sign of an Indian coutd
pe seen but at last Ike Brown, more ven
turesome than his comrades, ventured up
within few feet of the clumpf of bushes
ana parted aside the weeds with his gun
ior the purpose of looking in, when a gun
was fired. apparently from the ground, and
Ike Brown fell dead, shot through the
heart. Charles Holland rushed I'D at the
same instant, and met the same fate as Ike
brown. The remainder of the squad then
iell BACK In good order, out of range of
the hidden foe. They kept guard all nj ght,
and supposed they had the Indian all safe.
and after crawling up with great deal of
precautlon, 1T was ascertained that the gem
tie red man, like the A rab of old, had silent
~ stolen away during the night, not howev-
er, without taking few mementoes of his
white friends. The dead body OF Ike
Brown he relieved of $400 in money, be-
sides carrying off his watch, pistol and
gun. The body of Holland was plundered
in like manner. Upon examining the
ground coyote hole was found, where the
Indian had slipped down in and escaped
the shower of bullets that was fired at him.
The Sioux are getting very sharp. They
now dress themselves like white men, in
white shirts and white hats, and long tail
ed busters, and ride leisurely along the
road to some mining camp. No person at
tfty yards would ever suppose he saw an
indian as he looked at the ordinary look
ing individual riding along the we'll beat
en- path i'll broad daylight, and no suspi.
cion Of anything wrong would occur to
the honest miner until he finds one of his
companions shot and scalped within
hundred yards of his own tent.

TO Measure Grain Bins

B. f. Rowe gives the following hints on
this subject cubical box 1917 inches
each way, will hold bushel. Hence,
to ascertain the contents of Il bin, take a
stick or rule 1871 inches long, divide it by
marks into tcnths and hundredths. Measure
the length, breadth and depth with this
rule, multiply the three dimensions topeth-
or and the product will be bushels. This is
the most convenient and easiest method
known. Use the rule rs though it were feet
and inches. Suppose, for example, bin
measures So in length, 81 in width, and
40 in depth. The product of these is 237.-
405, or about 1874 bushels. Every far
mer should make such II rule and use it in
all cases where the contents of bins or box
es are required
