Perhaps the most magnificent
act of heroism ever performed in
this vicinity was witnessed during
the performance OF Forepaugh s

was giving an exhibition Of his
control over the ierocious brutes
under his charge, when suddenly
he Was observed to turn pale and
tremble. The largest lion Of the
six in the cage bad displayed unu.

glaring eyes it crouched in the
corner and evidently meditated a
spring The trainer recovered
self possession in a moment, and
keeping his eye firmly fixed upon
that of the huge beast, dealt it a
terrific blow with his rawhide o
yer r-the face. With a fierce snarl
the infuriated lion bounded for
ward. Catching one of its open
jaws in either hand, the powerful
man held the brute off for a des-
perate moment by main strength.
An electric thrill of horror ran
through the crowd, which sur
rounded the cage in an instant.
The beasts in other dens shrieked
and roared in chorus. 1t is in
a moment like this that the real
heroic element asserts itself With.
out turning his head in the least,
the brave man firmly whispered

instantly seized and crowded
through the bars. With one su
perhuman effort the trainer thrust
the boy into the hot, closing jaws,
and then bounded lightly aside.
A snarl, few savage crunches,
and the beast turned again to his
prey. But the hero was gone!
The door snapped behind him and

a boxer in his young days, and he
remarked that he'd give his son
a few lessons. He was balancing

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

A good degree of success has
attended the TRANSMISSION of
.blood i'll the case of Adam
Kohlepp, of Williamsburg, a
patient in the last stages Of con-
sumption. The patients friends
had no hopes of his recovery.
He had not been dressed for
two months, ard had slept only
in snatches for weeks. At the
first operation, OH July IL, sew
en- ounces of blood from the
arm of a strong, healthy man
were injected into thespatient's
median basilic vein. Before
the operation, the patients pulse
was feeble and accelerated. Af-
ter the TRANSMISSION the pulse be-
came slower and fuller, and a
gentle perspiration appeared all
over the body. He soon fell
asleep, not awakening for sew
eral hours. He then ate with
apparent relish, and again fell
asleep, though not SO readily as
before. Insthe morning he was
able to rise, but did not leave
his bedroom. On the fifth day
following the operation he took
a short walk upon the street.
On July 26 "a second operation
was performed, in which four
ounces of blood were trans
fused with the desired effect.
Since thch@1the patient has
gained strength rapidly, and is
troubled only with his short,
hacking cough. Night sweats
have entirely left him. His
breathing is attended with no
difficulty. HIS pulse is full and
slow. His blood is only a little
above the normal tempera-
ture, and for a week past he has
net only been out but has done
a few hours light work daily.
The treatment will be repeated
in the hope of arresting the dis
ease.--NeaU York Herald.

A Highly Romantic Story.

= y y
1t is not often that fate bIesses
a man with such entire complete
ness as happened in the case of a
New York journalist few months
ago. He was a fine looking fell
low, handsome and distinguished,
with just that soupcon of Bohe
mianism in his appearance that
takes with women. On a certain
fortunate morning he was sent to
report the opening or something or
other of a railroad. whose Presi-
dent was man of very large for
tune, and whose wife, much youn-
ger than himself and very beauti-
iul, was among the most censpicu-
GUS of the guests. Our journal
ist, not troubled with bashfulness,
was presented naturally, as jour
nalists always do, he made him
self agreeable. The lady was
pleased, the attraction to certain
extent, was mutual, and by a sim
gular stroke, which must have
come from the hand of Destiny it.
self, the railroad magnate shortly
aiterward died, leaving his fair
young widow to mourn and be
comforted. Our journalist thought
he could do nothing less under the
circumstances than write a letter
of coincidence, which was answer
ed by little note, intimating that,
after the lapse of a proper time,
the lady would be pleased to have
him call. He did call, more than
once, and fifteen months after the
death of the husband, proposed to
the widow, was accepted aud the
two were married. What is lit
tie singular abont the affair is,
that he never inquired the amount
of the lady's fortune and was con
siderably astonished on the day
Of the wedding to be presented
with securities representing ST.
100000 in value. This amount
the lady desired to endow him
with and make his own by right.
but the gallant young journalist
absolutely refused to accept it.
He wouldn't even 60 shares lie
insisted that the whole should be
settled upon berself, and would
consent only to be the disburser
of the moneys expended for their
joint use and benefit. The hap
py pair sailed for Europe, and a
letter received from him in Vevay,
in Switzerland, contained the dec
laration that he was the "happiest
dog in existence that his wife
was the best and most charming
woman in the world; and Vevay
the most enchanting spot in the
universe.

A Georgia Judge Dies on
iltilIiJ the Bench. 8

Atlanta Constitution: About
six o'clock Thursday evening
while the Superior Court was in
session at Knoxville, the coun-
ty seat of Crawford county,
Judge Barnard Hill, the pre-
siding Judge, died upon the
bench in sudden and uncx-
pected manner. The facts ap-
pear to be as follows:
A criminal trial, in which two
negroes were charged with lar
ceny, had just been concluded
and the jury returned a verdict
of s'guilty.p They neglected
to state the value of the goods
stolen and Judge Hill remarked
to them that they had best re-
tire and supply this portion of
the verdict. They returned to
the room and a lull in the pro-
ceedings occurred. A few mo-
ments after one of the attor-
neys looked up and discovered
that Judge Hills head was
thrown back upon his chair, a
deathly pallor ovcrspreading
his countenance. Friends rushed
to him, but with an easy gasp
his spirit passed away and be
sat dead upon the bench in the
midst Of the discharge of his
high official duty.
The cause Of death was prob
ably heart disease, and not APP
oplexy as was reported. The
symptoms led 10 the former
conclusion and eye-witnesses
Of the awful affair agree in this
belief. The remains were con-
veycd to Macon.

The flooding storm of Thurs
day night has ended the most
serious water famine that this
city has known since I have
lived in it. 1876 was a very
dry year and yet during the
nine months of this year, which
have already elapsed there fell
almost one-third less water than
during the same period of last
year. Thursday morning Gro
ton, Gilead, and Gleneida lakes
and the neighboring ponds and
reservoirs on which We depend
for water for every purpose,
were reduced to swamps and
.mud-holes, and the scanty sup
ply which reached the city was
full of sediment. But the
timely opening Of the windows
of Heaven which made many of
our streets navigable by vessels
of light draft and indeed hoated
some horse cars over in Brook
lyn if reports, from that pious
suburb are to be believed, has
removed our difficulties and a.
verted what would soon have
become a very serious state Of
things. New reservoirs are
now in construction which the
engineers say will prevent a
recurrence Of the scarcity,

The Judges "Black Cap

The Golf cap is still worn in
undiminished proportions by
Judges when they pass sentence
of death, and is generally known
as the "black cap" In old
time the justice, on making
ready to pronounce the awful
words which consigned a fell
low-ereature to a horrible death,
was wont to draw up the fat,
square, dark cap, that some-
times hung at the nap of his
neck or the upper part of his
shoulder. Having recovered
the gwhiteness of bis colt, and
partially concealed his forehead
and brows with the sable cloth,
he proceeded to utter the dread
sentence with solemn composure
and firmness. At present the
black cap is assumed to strike
terror into the hearts of the vul-
gar; formerly it was pulled o.
yer the eyes, to hide the emo
ton of the Judge. .-Jeaferson's S

WITCHES.


Do believe in witches, dear?
Most certainly | do
They haunt this very house Of ours
Don't look so frightened, Suel
Up stairs, down stairs, everywhere,
Their presence can trace;
They visit now and then my room,
And all my books displace.
Who turned my table upside down
To build palace car,
And sent my precious manuscripts
Into the corners far?
Who dropped the scissors il my boot?
Who hid my cane and hat?
Who put my glasses, chain and ak,
Beneath the entry mat?
I'll set trap for them some day
And catch them at their tricks,
And then they'll find-the roguish elves
They're in pretty fix
The old time witches All, indeed!
You've heard the story Ger;
When they were caught, their fate was
sealed
They played their games no more.
But there are witches dwelling here
Who practice we'll their art,
And just begnile with song and smile,
Their loving papa's heart.
Believe in witches? Yes l. do!
As believe in fun;
They're full ef that, and bubbling per
And now my story's done.
