Child Carried Off by Tiger.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Bolivia, South
America, says;
AS l came from Trinidad to this
place, the boat stopped near deserted
Indian hut, and as the night was
rainy, the crew slept in this but; slept
on the boat. We had been joined by
Mojos Indian and his wife, and four or
five children, who also slept in the hut,
The youngest child was about one year
old. During the night tiger entered
the hut, which had no door, and seized
the infant, and carried it off. The
child was nearly the furthest from the
doorway Of any one in the hut, and to
reach it the tiger must have passed
close to several of the men.
No one saw or heard it until the
child screamed, and then those who
woke only saw it bound away with the
child In it's mouth. 1t was probably
female with young ones, and for that
reason was so bold. Nothing could be
found of the child in the morning, but
as the hut was in the midst of dense
thicket of tall reeds and rushes, it was
impossible to search much, and we had
no dog
A tiger hardly ever kills anything
tn at he cannot carry away with ease,
like cat does a mouse. He does not
want to eat it wien he catches it.
The above event happened Gil the
banks of the Marmore River, near
Trinidad. The next night all the In
dams joined in prayer to God for the
soul of the lost infant.
l saw many tiger tracks in the mud
during the journey, but though watch
ed much during the night 1 never saw
tiger. | only heard one roar once.
1t was while watching for a tiger that /
shot the gray fox.

MeigCs' Fortune.

Mr.. Henry Meiggs, the enormously
wealthy railroad contractor of South
America, is a native of New York
state, and about sixty-five years old.
He first sought his fortune in Califor-
MIA, and opened up the greatest lumber
interests of that western coast. He en-
gagged in many schemes Of public ben
eft. But being obliged to borrow
money, the usurious rates of interest
then prevailing in California took him
beyond his depth, and he to South
America, leaving behind him heavy
liabilities. There he made large sums
as q railroad contractor, and then set
tied the California claims. He owns
two residences-one in the city of Lima,
and the other in the suburbs-where he
dispenses hospitality to every American
or foreigner, and especially to Califor-
mans, on every possible occasion. No
American was ever hard pressed for
money without Mr.. Meiggs coming to
his rescue and supplying him with
means to go to any part of the world
he might desire. His "Quinta," or
private Westinghouse, is situated in
the midst Of sixty acres of pleasure
grounds, filled with the rarest fruits
and flowers,

What Made Them So I?

I must say it Human beings, con-
sidering how talented they are, are very
foolish. If not, why do they make
other living things afraid of them in
stead of teaching love and confidence
by their own example :? Almost all
animals who see men for the first time
approach them without fear.
I am told that when the naturalist,
Darwin, went to the Galapagos Islands,
he there found hawks that had never
seen men, and they were SO tame that
he showed some of them gently off a
branch with the muzzle of his gun,
while others came to drink from 3
nitcher which he held in his hand. It
is only because for generations, beasts
and bird have been so often deceived
and cruelty treated by men that they
have become suspicious of them.-St
Nichols for January.

Thievish Beavers.

York county beavers are sagacnuy
animals. A man from Nackawick,
hunting beaver, recently came upon
lagoon which showed marks of having
been lately damned up by those indus
trious creatures. Leaving his axe near
a beaver house, the trapper proceeded
to explore the region ronnd about, but
on returning in about an hour no axe
was to be found. This mysterious dis
puzzled him, bnt his as
constituent turned into positive alarm
when, going to the foot of large jul
uiper tree, no traces could be seen Of
his camp kettle and provisions. Faint
from hunger and fatigue, he found his
way to the edge of the pond, where a
sma Il black object gliding over the sur
face Of the water attracted his atten-
ton. Closer inspection revealed a
huge beaver swimming Off with the
camp kettle in his mouth. The dis
gusted trapper slowly left the fated
spot, minus axe, kettle and a good din
ner carried off by the beavers. Wheth-
er the beavers sunk the axe in the
middle of the pond or conveyed it to
place Of safety is, of course, unknown;
but from the m ethod of their opera
tiohs he firmly believes that they made
sure of the axe first, knowing that it
wa the instrument with which he de-
signed destroying their homes. The
kettle, which seemed the more harm
less and inofensive weapon, they left
ill the last.-S. John IN. b. Telegraph,

WHALING is still carried on to consid-
cradle extent in spite of the kerosene
business. The whaling fleet numbers
one hundred and eighty vessels in this
country, Of which one hundred and
thirty belong to New Bedford, twenty
one to Provincetown, six to Boston and
twelve to New London, the others be-
ing distributed about various parts Of
the country. A large portion of these
are now eng aged in hunting the sperm
whale. During the past year three of
the largest sperm whales on record
where taken by New Bedford whalers.
They yielded respectively one hundred
and fifty-nine, one hundred and sixty
one and one hundred and sixty-two
barrels Of oil. One little New Bedford
schooner, which went out last Deem
Der, returned a month ago with a net
profit of $4,000 for her owner. The
average value Of whaling vessels is
about $40, 900, and the total capital in
vested in New Bedford in this industry
is probably over 100000. During
the year forty-fve whaling vessels have
been destroyed by icebergs.

The Babylonian antiquities just re-
ceived at the British Museum as the
result Of the final labors of the late
Mr.. George Smith, were found near the
town of lillian, about three miles north
from the site of Babylon, and are of
unusual interest. They consist princi-
pally of tablets, mortgages, promissory
notes, records of the sale of lands.
shares, and other commodities, repre-
senting, in fact, all the various com
mercial transactions Of a Babylonian
banking and financial firm. The dates
of the tablets and documents extend
from the fall of the Assyrian Empire
to the reign of Darius Hystapes, in
Guiding dates in the reigns of Nabopo-
lassar, father of Nebuchadnezzar, Evil
Nedrodach, Cambyses, and the elder
and the younger Cyrus. The rate of
interest current in Babylon on loans
was generally 10 per cent, and much
light is thrown on the social life of the
Babylonians from the circumstances
that witnesses of deeds are always de-
scribed by their trade or profession.
One of the tablets is dated in the reign
of Belshazzar as King, being the first
time his name has been found in con-
n on with the royal dignity, previous
inscriptions having had reference to
the time when he was described as son
of Nabenidus.

A DRAMATIC scene recently occurred
in the Supreme Court room 10 Salem
Mass, when Mr.. Foster asked for the,
custody of his child his wife having pc
titioned for divorce. On cross-e1am-
nation of the wife, she was brought to
the point of confessing that she had no
objection to living with her husband,
when she tainted and fell down. There
was great excitement in the court
room, and when she recovered Judge
Ames solemnly advised the parties to
90 home, to take no outside advice, to
nae a little common sense, and try to
live together in peace. He then order
ed them to appear again at court on
certain day for further consideration
of the case.

FRED KENT, a low comedian, once
very popular, stopped a panic in a.
Brooklyn theatre by rushing to the
foot-lights, striking an attitude of mock
tragedy, and shouting in tones that
pierced every part of the house: "Bet-

gOin' to cut o watermelon soon!" The
effect was instantaneous. There was
roar of laughter, momentary diver
sion, during which the fire was SUD-
pressed, and the farce went on.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, in letter
advocating the propriety of the adop-
ton by women of any respectable
trade or profession, says: You do
not want the effect Of your good things
to De, now wonderful for woman.
Nor would you be deferred from good
things by hearing it said, Yes; but she
ought not to have done this because it
is not suitable for woman But you
want to do the thing that is good wheth-
er it is suitable for woman or not. 1t
does not make thing good that it is
remarkable that q woman should have
been able to do it; neither does it make
thing bad which would have been
good had man done it, that it had
been done by a woman"

THE National Board of Underwriters met

The attendance was quito large, considering
the near approach of the Christmas holt
days and the stormy weather. All the
leading agency companies, including the
English ones were represented. The meet
ing was conducted with the strictest privacy
1t is believed that this meeting is by far the
most important one the Board has ever
held, as it developes a determination on
the part of the conservative represe natives
and officers of the solid companies to stand
firmly by such rules and rates as will enable
them to continue to furnish the safe st kind
OF indemnity. In these times, W hen de
probation, followed by doubt and uncer-
tainty on the part of capital, is the rule,
it is indeed hopeful sign of returning con-
fdence.
