A Lion and Leopard Fight.

The geological gardens at Pesth have
Just been the scene of a combat worthy
of Nero or Elagabalus. The cage ten
anted by Il lion and lioness happened to
be next to that in which dwelt a I, male
leopard, for whom the captive queen OF
the desert entertained Il SPECIAL hatred.
Probably she was jealous OF the bright
eyes and beautiful skin IF her neighbor,
and may possibly have suspected her
lord and master of casting a tender re-
gard or two across the barrier which sep
arated the two dens. The suspicion,
broodcd over in silence, became n de-
v%ouring passion, and it ripened into GER
tainty at the precise moment when
vengeance happened to become possible.
The keeper of the gardens had inadver-
tcntly one day left hanging within the
lions cage the chain which served to
draw up the partition, and the lion was
not long in Selling it and beginning to
pull. Whether he was animate with a
spirit of fickleness or by curiosity alone
must remain forever a secret. But the
result was that the partition flew up
and the road remained open from one
cage to the other. Through it instantly
rushed the l~ioness, breathing hatred and
malice, but the lion had no sooner
dropped the chain and prepared to fol-
low in the chase than the portcullis fell
and the passage was barred again. In
the meantime, however, a struggle COM
menced between the two lady warriors
such as had not been seen in Europe since
the palmy days of the amphitheater.
The leopard, worsted at the onset, at
tempted to take refuge from the foe by
Jumping and hanging to the top rails
of the cage. 1t was all in vain, how
ever. She was brought to bay again,
and compelled to fight face to face with
the terrible invader. For twenty long
minutes the battle ragged in royal style.
The neck and shoulders of the lioness
were deeply furrowed with red gashes.
But her victim was Over.matched, and
at length thrown on her back, when the
coup de grace was given by the savage
fangs of the victor. The lion, who had
been looking on-probably with mingled
fcelings-at the scene will now no doubt,
be restored TO the affectionate confidence
of his spouse. Nothing remained, at the
end of the encounter, of the pretty
skin which had 50 captivated
him but a few torn and mangled shreds,
and the romance of the cages, if romance
was, came to a tragic end.--LOndOn

Another American rrima Donna.

Miss Blanche, second daughter of iIr.
and Mrs. f. l.. Davenport, is engaged at
San Carlo theatre, Naples, as prima donna
assoluta, for the months of May and
June. She has studied i'm Milan for
years to qualify herself for the position

and now she will make her trial effort in
the finest theatre in the world. Artists

Pleading for Fun and Good Humor.

\ pondcrous English contemporary,
says the Philadelphia Press, has called
attention to the fippant tone common to
American newspapers, meaning the bits
of humor scattered through the columns
of otherwise dignifed journals and the
frequent light writing of many Of u
editors. 1t is very true that of late
years a good deal of space has been given
to fun IN American daily papers. And
why should not this be? The wit in
n column in no way detracts from the
force of the political leader in another,
and those papers carrying the greatest
influence are the political ones which
dish up the most fun. 1t is only when
a newspaper allows a aippancy TO pei
meate all iA articles that the innovation
is rightly complained OF. What reason
is there hat a journal should come forth
every day as solemn as a Judge sen
tenc.ng a criminal to death ? 1t is well
for us 10 laugh occasionally. The fun,
too, has the effect Of making the daily
paper a family journal. 1t is no longer
real only by the pOmpOus head of the

Newhallvillc Connecticut was wrought
up to quite a high pitch of excitement
Yesterday, and many of the inhabitants
refrained from venturing out of their
houses, for fear of hydrophobia, a report
being rife that 4 number of mad dogs
were raging around. 1t appears that a
large dog belonging to Mr.. Dart, of the
firm of Dart q Reynolds, carriage man
ufacturers, went mad, or at least exhib-
tied decided symptoms of madness, as he
rushed about foaming at the mouth, with
eyes wildly glaring, and snapped at every
thing he met. On his travels he bit sew
eral other dogs, and at last, theexcitement
spreading among the inhabitants, a num-.

pistols and shot the mad-d dog and, if
are true, dispatched his canine
victims also. The terror which had
affected the Te)ple owing to the dogs had
not subsidized last evening, as it was feared
that some one of the dogs which had
been bitten might not have been killed

Broken Up aud NSHy Men
Kuincd by the H.iiroad and Land
SPccaIaIing d0n,pun e..

There has been 50 much said about
southern TeXaS in regard to the climate,
fertility of the soil, etc, that | wish to
say a few words thro Igh youl valuable
paper about. this over rated and falsely
represented country. 1t is the most
changeable climate in the United States.
1t is tolerably healthy, We admit, but
not near as much so a. represented We
have chills and levers here as well rs
anywhere else, and also Il few cases Of
pneumonia in the last tew weeks. The
soil is very rich, where it is rich, but it
is like all other couutrieS-it has poor
land and lots of it. 1t has been repre-
sented rs a level, unbroken country, and
as rich as the Mississippi bottom, with
scarcely a poor spot in it. This is false;
it is Il hilly country, or the greater por-
ton of it and as much poor land as ever
/ saw in any state, with scarcely enough
timber for fire-wood for for year if
it was all settled up. They are hauling
rails from six to twenty miles; their
water they haul in the summer from
three to forty miles, and glad to get it at
that. Still, they tell the people it is the
best country in the world, and the
climate as mild as that Of Italy. Now,
my dear friends, you who are preparing
TO move to Texas, come and look for
yourselves before you sell your little
homes in the states. Don't believe what
you read on paper. These glowing tales
are gotten up by railroad companies and
land Spectators. You ask one of these
men where he lives, and he will tell you
in st. Louis, or somewhere in the old
states. Now, if this is such agood coun-
try, why don't they move to it? There
have been more families broken up and
more young men ruined by these rail-
road and land specializing companies
any other class of men in the world.

4 Grade Calf.

4 calf was bred at the New ITamp
shire asylum for the insane in Concord,
N. II, and was dropped March |, 1876.
The dam was 4 grade Devon, and the
sire Il fulE-blOoded shDrt-horn, formerly
owned at the reform school at Manchester,
and of what is known as the " Hoosic
strain" At four weeks old this calf
weighed one hundred and sixty pounds,
and was purchased by G. II. Farnum. OF
Concord, for a mate to another one that
weighed, when four weeks old, two hun
dred and five pounds. 1t was the purpose
of Mr.. Farnum to raise these animals for
oxen, if they should prove to grow alike
in form and size. Their feed consisted
exclusively of skinned milk. and it soon
became apparent that the one which
weighed one hundred and sixty pounds
at four weeks old was Outgrowing the
other; and 50 marked was the difference
in growth and thrift that the plan for
rearing them for oxen was soOn aban-
doned. At eight aud q half months old
the one that was originally the largest,
but at that time the smallest, was
slaughtered. His girth was FIVE feet two
inches, and his dressed weight was five
hundred and twenty-five pounds. This
was a remarkable growth. but considera-
bly, less than that which the other calf
had been making.
1t was decided to feed this one. as n
matter of experiment, until he should
be a yeIr old. His feed for the last three
months was principally skinned milk
and shorts, and his girth was six feet and
fve,inches, and he was so fat that his hip
joints were hardly dlscernil lie. He was
purchased hy Kilburn and Glennon,
butchers in Concord. and was slaughtered
March l, the day he was one year old.
His live weight was one thousand two
hundred pounds; his dressed weight was
nine hundred and twopounds the meat
