Lion Story.

Parker" the old lion that used to
make the street entry with the Euro
pean circus, sitting on the top of a
triumphal chariot, died at Janesville,
Wis, few days since. When he was
on exhibition in London he seized the
assistant of Crockett, his keeper, by
the throat and actually sucked the
life blood from his victim. Not con
tent with having killed the assistant,
he tossed his limp and lifeless body
to and fro as cat would dead mouse
When Crockett appeared on the scene
Parker was still infuriated by the
taste of human blood, and fierce
struggle ensued. Crockett procured
blankets and saturating them with
spirits, fastened them to long poles
and set fire to them. By thrusting
these hot flames into the very face Of
the lion, the animal was frightened
and made to skulk back into his cell
where he was secured.

COLUMBUS, o., January 27.-In the
senate bills were introduced to give
the public school buildings the use of
water from the water works free of
tax to require local insurance agen-

to the county auditor for taxation.
In the house a resolution was
adopted thanking congress for passing
and the President for signing the pen
sion bill.
A resolution was offered, and laid
on the table to be printed, calling
upon congress to legislate on the fnan-
cial question in accordance with the
idea promulgated by the National
party.
Bills were introduced to repeal that
section of the law which relieves Su-
preme Court judges from District
Court duty; to aid in the cOnstruc-
tion Of narrow gauge railroads, by
allowing subscribers to stock five
years in which to make payment; pro
viding that certificates shall not be
issued to persons to practice medicine
for longer term than one year who
have attended but one course of lee
| lures.

The NntionnI ComnIaint,

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. AL
most every other man or woman you meet
has it, and the result is that the number Of
pseudo remedies for it is as numerous as Pha-
raoh's host. They arc for the most part worth
less. There is, however, searching eradi-
cant of this distressing and obdurate malady,
one whose genuine merits long since vaisod il
to a foremost place among the staple medi-
cines of America. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters extirpates dyspepsia with greater GER
tainty and promptitude than any known
petizer and aid to secretion. These arc not
empty assertions, as thousands of our coun-
trymen and women who have experienced its
effects are aware, but are backed up by ire
fragible proofs repeatedly laid before the pub
lie. The Bitters also promote regul habit
Of body and give healthful stimulus to the
urinary organs.

DEBr OF NEW ORLEANS.

The indebtedness Of the municipal
ity Of New Orleans. with an assess
ment roll Of Sl1l,0OO,OOO, is set
down at $2l, 100000; of which
$1SOOO,OOO is actual and the
remainder is past due or accumulated
interest. A recent ventilation of the
financial affairs of the city show that
it has been gradually growing worse
for several years, until now bankruptcy
stares its financial managers in the
face. The premium bond plan, start
ed three or four years ago, and from
which so much was anticipated, has
proved failure, the plan only paying
interest when drawn by chance, and
the indebtedness has gradually in
creased under the system. The bonds
have fallen in the market from 38
cents on the dollar, at which they
sold a year ago, to 80 cents at the
present time. A meeting of the lead
ing people Of the city was held few
days since to consult with each other
regarding the wisest course to be pur-
sued. Various schemes were suggest
ed, the only feasible one being re-
commentator to refund the entire
city indebtedness in bonds bearing
from two to three per cent. interest.
The present laws prohibit a tax levy
of more than one and half per cent
for municipal purposes.

AN application was recently made
before the English patent Office for a
patent for new motor. In the speci-
fcation that has been fled it is de-
scribed as an improved apparatus for
raising water and obtaining motive
power. F" The principle upon which
this new motor is founded is that an
apparatus raising water twenty feet
will raise twenty times as much water
as is necessary to work itself, less fric
ton, the apparatus being connected
with and worked by water wheel.
In other words, the inventor has set
out to prove that a machine can be
made which will not only work itself,
but generate sufficient power to work
any fixed machinery or prOpel vessels.
Next to perpetual motion, and akin to
it, this new self-acting device, if its
practicability can be demonstrated
would be one of the most remarkable
yet recorded in this age of inventions

NOTES FROM NEWARK.

THE CIRCUs-A SERIOUS AFFRAY, &C.
Special correspondence of the GAZETTE.
NEWARK, June Is, 1879.
The circus which showed in Whining
ton last week, was here Monday night,
and threw the town into perfect tumult.
1t caused more disorder than had been
here for long time before. During the
night exhibition, a man from Wilmington
went down to the tent with a claim OF
50 against them which they had got
away from your city without paying.
This man got drunk, it is said, before he
pre- sented the bill, and the whiskey had
such mellow influence that he comprO-
