A NOKELLSTS INCOME.

The supplementary examination Of
Mrs. Ann S, Stephens, the novelist, on
proceedings after judgment in suit
brought against her by Dudley S. Greg
ory and others, has been filed in the Ma
rine Court by s. S. Lancaster, the plain
tif's counsel. Mrs. Stephens gave notes
to Mr.. Gregory some years ago, and re-
fused to pay them. The judgment on
the notes was $5l5,64, which she refused
to pay also, claiming that she has no
property. On her examination she al
legged that she is residing at the st. Cloud
Hotel, and that she has been dependent
on her own resources for support since
the age of twenty-one. Her income is
from her literary work. She was the ed
itor of magazine for thirty years, and
is now co editor of Peterson's Maya
zine, besides writing for Frank Leslie's
publications. She says her income since
1870 has been from $4,000 per annum up
ward. Her average monthly payments
for her accommodations at the hotel are
from $3.50 to 5000 a month. She gays
she has no property of any value, and
spends each month what she receives as
income from her work. From the ex-
animation it appeared that the judgment
could not be collected from her, she hav-
ing no property which could be levied

A LION AT LARGE.
Excitement at a Circus in BroOklyn-A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is driven back
By his keepers.

A large African lion, known as Par
ker," belonging to Howes & Cushing's
circus and menagerie, at Flatbush and
Fifth aves., in Brooklyn, broke some of
the bars of his cage yesterday afternoon,
and dashed through the tent which con.
tanned the wild animals into the open
space which surrounded the circus tent,
and which was separated from the street
by high board fence. Great excitement
was at once created among the perform
ers and employees, who rushed for the
street in their stage costumes. During
all the excitement the audience in the
main tent was unaware of what
was going on in the smaller inclosure and
outside. AS the performers were FLED,
Mr.. Bowles, the man who had been left
by Prof Losson in charge of the cages,
seized a pole and dashed through the
opening into the tent. AS he passed one
of the boxes blockading the passage, one
of the female performers rushed toward
him, pursued by the lion. Her clothing
had been torn from her back by the ami
NAL, which had caught the sweeping trail
of her dress, tearing it to shreds. Bowles,
as the woman sprang toward him, seized
and threw her over one of the large dres-
sing cases, at the same time throwing
himself to one side, thus escaping the in
furiated animal. After looking around
for minute in the open space the ami
NAL dashed back again toward the me-
nagerie, encountering one of the perfor-
ming dogs, Patty, in his passage. The
lion seized the dog in his jaws, and in an
instant crushed it into shapeless mass.
This appeared to mollify his anger, and
he crouched upon the ground munching
the carcass and growing with satisfac-
ton.
Meanwhile the performers and tent
men who could be recalled from flight,
collected about the tent, armed with
sticks, poles and clubs. AT this time
Prof. Losson arrived, and, armed with
weapon used for furnishing tie animal,
began the assault on the lion. He Or
dered his aids to form a semi-circle
around the beast, and, approaching it,
snapped his whip, shouted and pointed
toward the cage, The animal growled
and glared upon his master, who, keep
ing his eye upon it, struck the beast
severe blow across the face. 1t howled
and retreated toward the cage. Follow
ing it rapidly up with well directed blows,
one Of which lamed one of the animals
legs, the lion was forced into cage and
fastened. The lion was captured in Af-
rica when apparently about years old.
In the London Amphitheater he killed
his keeper, Thomas Jarvis, noted lion
tanner.

TURKEY BREEDING.

A flock Of we'll grown turkeys
make such an agreeable addition tc
the receipts Of the farm, and they are
so often raised with so little trouble,
that l wonder at the seeming indif-
ference Of SO many farmers with ref
erence to them. The rules for breed
ing are simple and easily understood,
and failures are due to two prom
inent causes one, the weather,
which, in some seasons, puts at fault
the utmost possible care the other
negligence.
A hot and dry season is we'll nigh
as essential for success with turkeys.
This is so important that it is Of little
use to be in haste to get turkeys hatch
ed early, as we may do with chickens
though old birds are tough enough,
young ones are exceedingly tender.
If brought out by the first Of June, it
will, in most cases, be early enough.
Even if they live through such chilly
and damp weather as is common in
May, they will not grow until hot
weather and bugs come to their re-
lief; but, let them hatch out in June,
in weather which drives the breeder
to the shade, and the little turkeys
just enjoy it i; they will stretch them
selves in the sun and clay off with
every token of delight. Damp, chilly
weather is their ruin rain abomina-
ton morning dew poison sure to
blight the hopes of inexperienced or
careless breeders. Turkeys must be
allowed to range very freely to in.
sure success, but not while the grass
is wet-that is, during the first two
months or so of their lives. After
that, one need not be quite SO par
ticular.
Early turkeys not being advisable,
the first litter of eggs from a hen may
be reserved for common hen in May,
and the turkey hen be invited to lay
a second litter, which she will do if
broken up. think the earliest tur-
keys do better in any case with a
common hen, as she roams less and
the chicks become more tractable, and
the females from among them make
more manageable mothers for next
year.-RWul World
