A Solid Endorsement.


One of our tOwnsmen, being IN New
York recently, had occasion to visit one
of the city banks. Agentleman entered
the bank, and with nervous air pushed
forward to the principal officers's desk,
where he presented note for heavy
amount and desired to have it discount
ed. The bank officer took the paper,
examined it, and pointing to the name
on the back, said: "That name, sir, is
not good here; we can't take that pa
per-" s'Then,'' said the other, g | am
ruined-ruinedl With a hurried
glance at the by-standers, the man was
about to withdraw the worthless note,
but another gentleman who had been
engaged close by, and who had evidently
observed what was going on, quietly put
forth his hand, took the rejected paper,
scrutinized it, and then having taIk zen
good look at the man who had presented
it, lifted pen from the desk, and de-
liberately wrote under the previous in
dorsement, William II. Vanderbilt"
The action was accompanied by the sim
pie words, 81 guess that'n 60" Then
the seventy-five millionaire-for he it
was-turned hastily away and went
about his own business. Henceforth, for
him at last, the name CT Vanderbilt will
mean some thing more than railroads,

melting the savage brute on the head
with an iron bar, until the lion was con-
tent to release his hold and stink sullen-
ly away to his allotted corner of the den.
The keeper was evidently severely in
jured by the bite received from the lion,
but the circumstance did not affect his
smiling Acknowledgements of the loud
cheers which greeted his exhibition of
rare heroism, and he maintained his po-
sitiOn as monarch of the den, enforcing
a erOuching obedience, until the pro-
eession had completed its round.
PROFESSOR JOHN L. WHITE,
the lion-tamer, retired to his hotel, the
Grand Central, on Market Street, after
the parade was concluded, and is now
confined to his bed, where he will proba-
bly, be compelled to remain for several
days. The teeth of the lion penetrated
the fleshy part of his leg above the knee,
reaching the bone, and his knee-cap was
also slightly deranged. The injury pro-
duced severe swelling, but no serious
consequences are anticipated, and the
lion-tamer expects to resume his accus-
toned position in the animal cage on
the occasion of the next public parade.
White has been connected with the me-
nagerie for several years as an attendant
upon the animals, bnt the present season
is the first in which he has assumed the
distinction and danger of lion king.
The lion included in the happy family
above described is four years old, and a
native of this State, having been born
and reared at Queens menagerie breed
ing ranch at Haywards. The tiger is be-
tween four and five years old, and
formerly belonged to FOrepaugh's fam
Gus collection of animals at the East.
He was purchased in Philadelphia and
shipped to this coast about six weeks
ago. Yesterday was the fourth time
that the two animals had been placed
in a cage together, and their acquaint-
ance has not yet ripened into the cOrdi-
ality of feeling calculated to render the
society of Prof. Whites cage entirely
tranquil and well ordered.-SaB Fran
