An Infant Has Its Arm Bitten Off by en-
Alligator.
Tallahassee Floridian.

Tallahassee Floridian.
Mr. Philbrick, among many other liy-
ing curiosities, possesses an alligator about
half grown and an infant which is old
enough 70 crawl and 90 about the yard
unattended. A strange attachment ex-
listed between the alligator and the.infant,
the former being so docile that the friends
frequently spent hours during the day in
PLAYING with each other. The alligator
would amble clumsily to his tank, take q
sportive dive, and, returning, he would
embrace the little one, SO 10 speak, and
give unmistakable evidence of delight in
receiving tender caresses in return. So
secure seemed the friendship between
them that Mr.. Philbrick never thought
Of harm, and left the playmates to them
selves 10 pass the time as suited their in
clination The friendly relations did not
last long however, for Mr.. Philbrick was
startled about ten O'Clock on Wednesday
last by agonizing screams coming from
the backyard, and, rushing out, he
found to his horror that the alligator had
bitten the little fellows arm almost en-
tirely off, the fraction of limb dangling
BY slender bit Of cuticle. The poor
suffering little thing moaned and wept
bift ,rly. and the alligator, seeing the dis.
tress he hsd created. crawled up 20 his
victim and shed copious tears of sym
pathy. his expressionless countenance
giving him the appearance Of subdued
and sentimental ass. Mr. PhilUrick sew
cred the lacerated member. dressed the
stub carefully, and the animal is now able
to waddle about on three legs. We have

their existence could have been easily

HANLAN-ooURTNEY MATCH.

HAN1aAN-COUhINEf
MONTREAL, Sept. sO.-As the day approaches
for the Hanlan- Courtney match interest is
everywhere intensified beyond all precedent.
A constant succession of kilograms is received
from all parts of the United States and Canada
we'll as from England for information, show
the widespread and anxious feelings evinced
by the great international contest. The men
themselves take the matter like philosophers,
discussing the pros and cons without apparent
ly being conscious of the interest they in
spring at present in the hearts of their conn
trymen. Hanlan and his immediate friends
express the utmost confidence in the result.
They all appreciate and weigh at their proper
value the chances which a contestant In such
an event must take, and in hazarding their
opinions they weigh their words with the most
becoming crcumspection. Hanlan, well as
his club confreres, hold an exalted opinion OF
Courtney an oarsman. Hanian said he felt
great responsibility devolving upon him In
meeting such man in international con-
test. 1t wonld be probably the hardest he had
undertaken, when the latters wonderful record
was considered. He had also a good opinion oil
the Americans style of rowing, which has
been admired by every one who has seen it al
Lachine.
Courtney did not venture on the water yes
terday at all. Beyond going out for walk in
the morning. he took no exercise during the
day, remaining close prisoner in his cottage
| all the evening, seemingly counting the gaze oil
curious crowds who surrounded his cottage
He was in fine spirits, and in his modest way
expressed himself confident of doing his Owl
share in the event near at hand. With the
werther on Wednesday as fine as to-day, anC
the course as smooth, he remarked, 'the rae,
| will be a great success
1 Hanlan went out for a spin this morning
remaining nearly an hour, during which tim,
| he and Courtney came together on the Ice o
the Isle of Dorval when they had quite
| brush. To all appearances Courtney got tn
better of the squirt, but it is well understood
neither men were pulling their best. mum
Der of Courtney's friends and hackers arrive'
/ from the city this morning, and expressed
| great confidence in their man.

Pedestrianisni.

New YORK, Sept. 30.-At o'clock this morn
ing Daniel OLeary, of Chicago. and John
Hughes, of New York, commenced their six
days tramp at Gilmore's Garden. The contest
is for the Sir John ID. Ashley belt, 81, 200 in
stamps and the championship of the world
In addition a portion of the gate money goes
to the winner. Four hundred persons, includ-
| ing several ladies, assembled at the Garden to
see the start.
| Up to 10 A. NJ, Hughes, within 8 hours 25
minutes and As seconds, from the time OF
starting, had accomplished so miles, while
| o. Leary had Just completed his 45th mile
| Time hours minutes and seconds. He
| started off a run, as he did in Central hall
| last April, while o Leary commenced his tramp
with a steady, elastic walk. At the start Harry
| Hill made bet of 800 to S75 on o. Leary, and
MIR. Smith, O'Leary's hacker offered 50, 900 to
! 81 600 but no one would take him. A bet OF
| $500 to $500 on O'Leary taken and the
money put up. From the start Hughes has
done very little walking, starting off every once
| in a while on a sort of dog trot, while OLeary
has made his time by walking alone. A P. M
@, Leary had walked ~ miles and Hughes u
miles. Both men will keep on walking until
l o'clock tomorrow morning. At present
Hughes will probably finish 100 miles by half
past nine this evening, and OLeary's friend:
say that he will not be half hour behind
him, though it is not probable that the lattel
will make any strenuous effort to reduce the
lead Hughes has gained by running. The bet
ting is TO / on O'Leary.
| After completing eighty-seven miles Hughes
at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock, retired and remain

Acreage Reaui ed for n Cow

How much land is required for the
support of COVE This question de-
ponds for an answer SO much on the cir
cumstances of the soil as not to admit OF
very definite answer. Mr.. Schulz, of
Fittle Falls, N. Y, estimates that the
land in pasturage and hay requisite for
the support of COW is three acres; and
this is the estimate of Mr.. Darlington for
moderately good dairy farms in England.
In Belgium ten acres of land support two
cows, one heifer, ard one yearling or calf;
but when the calves are sold off young,
and cows in full milk are only kept, the
proportion is two cows to seven and one
half acres. Colman estimates three acres
of pasturage as requisite for cow in
Berkshire county, Mass, while in some
towns two acres of pasturage are suffi-
cient. Mr.. harrington, in the report of
the American Dairymen's association,
thinks that on the average four acres are
required per COW, for summer and winter
keen, while Mr.. X A. Willard says in
Herkimer county, N. Y, one and one
half to two acres of pastuIage per cow
will answer, and in some exceptional
cases one acre.

A GOOD Horse.

"Wind," says an old horseman, sis the
grand secret of fast horse. Good lungs
will cover multitude of faults; while on
the other hand, perfection of shape and
form are useless when the wind is out.
The chest, therefore in all cases, should
be large and capacious. In shape it may
vary somewhat, according to the service
to which the horse is to be put. If he is
apt to be kept for slow work and heavy
drawing the chest may be nearly circular
in form, because this shape is one o
strength and pulk, TO receive and bea
up against the pressure of the collar
while, at the same time, sufficient room is
secured for that expansion of the lungs
caused by slow, regular work. But if
the chest is circular, let it be at the
same time deep, or else the lungs may
be cramped. A horse with a shallow
chest is worthless tor amy purpose. The
rule then is this: For draught horse
circular but deep chest; but as you
pass through the different degrees of
speed up to the racer and trotter, the
chest will increase in depth, compared to
roundness, until, for the highest rate of
speed, you must take chest as deep as a
greyhound, and at the same time not
lacking IN strength"

Rirds ana Insects.

The cher danger to the increase of our
little feathered friends just now lies in
the passionate desire of small boys to
acquire their eggs; and the following
curious estimate has been made of the
penalty paid by farmers and gardeners for
the destruction of one birds nest; AS a
rule each nest, is left undisturbed, will
contain five young birds, and each OF
these eats fifty flies or insects daily for
the space OF five weeks. Taking this, how
ever, as thirty days only, you have $500
as the food required for a single nest of
five young birds. On the other hand,
these 1900 insects would have destroyed
thirty blossoms each, 100000 probable
fruits. Think of a quarter of a million
of ri pc peaches or pears lost each time
youngester robs birds nest! If boys
must take nests let them conffne them
selves to sparrows. We can afford to
spare large number of them without
missing them; but protect the song birds
and their young.-T'he Country.

Soups, top and bottom; Norwegian beef

fowls, stewed spinach and asparagus,
Tie meat is always cut into slices by the
master of the house, and handed round

touching of any particular dish out of its
regular course, although the table may
be groaning under tie weight of its
covers; this ceremony is occasionally a
little tantalizing. Creams, confectionery

various and excellent, and the repast

FENIAN EXILES.

| Enthusiastic Reception of Condor and
MeIady After Eleven Years of Confne-
| ment in English Prison-A Substan-
| tiaI Purse Being Raised for the ExiIes.
| New YORK, Sept. 29.-The released Fenian
prisoners, Edward O'Meagber Condor and
| Patrick rived to-day n board the
steamer Mosel. The reception committee,
among whom were Col. Richard s. Burke, Gen.
Barke, O'Donovan Rosa and Capt. Abr, and
many Others assembled On board the revenue
cutter Sherman, which was given them for the
occasion by the government, and proceeded
down the bay to meet the released patriots.
| They took them on board at the quarantine,
and scene of the most stirring character took
place. The exiles were warmly embraced by
| their fellow-cOuntrymen who had assembled
| to welcome them to America. Both Condor and
Melady looked wonderfully strong and healthy
considering their recent release after i'm
prisonment of eleven long years They were
delighted beyond measure at the cordial recep-
ton which was granted to them. They were
soon landed at the Battery and thence con-
veyed in carriages to Sweeny's hotel. The
news of their arrival spread and throughout
the day the hotel was thronged with persons
DESTROYS of grasping the hands of the exiles.
The committee of Nationalists, through
Michael Darett, presented them with long adj
dress of welcome, which said:
In behalf of the Irish Nationalists con-
graduate you your release from British
prisons and welcome you to New York. In the
dock your manly bearing reflected credit on
the cause. In prison your conduct was marked
by dignity, good sense and courage We feel
proud to acknowledge you as men deserving of
the respect and sympathy of your countrymen.
You have been made the victims of special
vengeance and malignity, and for eleven weary
years you have suffered mental and physical
tortures in English prisons and have been
classed with the viiest criminals to
make you feel disgraced as Irishmen. We enter
he Tn. ri xIa
patriotism into a crime.
Both Mr.. Condor and Mr.. Melady made a
brief address, and returned their cordial and
heartfelt thanks.
Another address was then presented to the
exiles by the Philadelphia Celtic society,
through MIR. Rowe, and it extended ten thou
sand welcomes to the exiles, whose exalted and
heroic action in the stronghold of the arch
enemy deserves the highest commendation of
the present and future generations No public
demonstration or parade will be given. but
substantial purse is being made up for the
patriots.

New YORK, Sept. 30.-The contributions in
aid of the yellow fever sufferers are lessening
in amount. On Saturday they amounted to
50, sI3. The gentlemen who compose the sew
eral committees urge the public, however. to
continue its gifts inasmuch as there is still
much suffering in the South which can be NIT
igated by the wise use of money. The work of
collecting clothing for the yellow fever suffer
ers is being pushed forward with earnestnes
by a committee of the Young Mems Christian
association Appeals for aid have been made
in many churches and in all cases have met
with cordial responses. In some of the churches
yesterday special addresses on the subject
we're made by the pastors and collections were
taken up to help defray the expense of sending
the clothing to the South. A meeting of the
Y. Nj. q. A. and delegates from the various

building this evening. An invitation to be
present is given to all persons who are interest
ed in the movement. Several prominent cler-
gymen are expected to make addresses.
