A GianteSs Dies of PARALYSIS.

A few days ago Frances Alice FlintoH,
we'll known throughout this state as the
California giantess, died at the county
infrmary Of paralysis. Deceased was
a native Of New York, though Of Ger
man parentage, and at the time of her
death was A years of age. She stood
6 feet 6 inches high, and in early days
travelled through the country with Lee
& Marshalls Circus company. She be-
came dissipated and contracted series
of diseases, and for number of years
has been an inmate Of some asylum,
having been in no less than eighteen of
these places throughout the country
She came from Sacramento about three
years ago. She was stricken with par
alysis three days before she died, and
never spoke after the attack.-,Sa'1 Jose

folds Of a silk handkerchief, and the
animals teeth being very long, prevent
ed him from opening his mouth wide
enough to get good hold. A struggle
ensued, but Pringle could not get rid of
his assailant until he (Pringle) tripped
and fell on his side, Wien, as he lay, he
caught the baboon by the throat with
his right hand and succeeded in getting
him under. He then seized a stone
and battered the animals head until
life was extinct. Fortunately for him
the remaining three held aloof Or the
consequences might have been very
serious. Mr.. Pringle, who is a strong
and active man, standing several inches
over six feet in his stockings, tells us he
has several times had to struggle hard
with strong men, but he never had
tougher job than to master that ba5oon.
These animals are very destructive, and
do great damage to lands and gardens.

A Shepherds Fight with Five Full.
Grown Male Balloons.

The particulars appended are taken
from South African paper: Mr.. John
Pringle, who lives with Mr.. Christian
Neser, in the Hantam, went a few days
since in search Of stray sheep, taking
his double-barreled shotgun with him.
While climbing a mountain he sudden
ly came upon five full-grown male
balloons, and thoughtlessly fired and
disabled one of the number, the others
beating retreat. Pringle then went
up to the disabled animal in order to
put it out of its misery, when two of the
others made rush to their. wounded
comrades assistance. Pringle saw them
coming when only twenty yards off, and
fired his remaining barrel, in his hurry
missing both, but soaring one of them
away. But the other made for his hui
man antagonist and sprang upon him,
gripping him by theshoulders with one
pair of hands, and holding to his waist
with the other. In a jiffy the animal
had torn off Prindle's upper clothing,
and was gnawing at his throat. which
