wasting Estates In Law.

The law seems to have 50 many at
fractions for some people that they are
unhappy unless they are entangled in
its meshes. But there are others who
dislike the very atmosphere of courts
and are still, by the force of unavoid-
able circumstances, drawn into them.
Such is very often the case when rs.
tat6s are made the subject of litigation.
One set of claimants are forced much
against their will to become respon-
dents, when they are we'll aware that
under the coming struggle the estate
in dispute must be in part or wholly
swallowed up. Such case is now be-
fore the New .York courts. James B.
Taylor, a prominent citizen, died, leav-
ing an estate worth halfa million dol
lars. The case has undergone an i'm
mense amount of lawing, and to-day
there are not more than fifteen thous-
and dollars, while the heirs have not
been able to touch penny OF the es-
tate, nor is it probable they ever will,
as the contest over what is left is still
waged as fiercely as ever. The result
can hardly be very satisfactory to eth
or of the contesting parties.

Apostle Paul.

The subject Of his preaching was that
"Jesus Is the Son Of God" = =
It was throughout life Paul's unhappy
fate to kindle the most violent animosi-
ties, because though conciliatory and
courteous by temperament, he yet car
ried into his arguments that intensity
and forthrightness which awakens dor
mant opposition. A languid controver-
sialist will always meet with languid
tolerance, but any controversialist
whose honest belief in his own doctrines
makes him terribly in earnest may
count on life smbittered by the anger
Of those on whom he has forced the dis
agreeable task of reconsideriDg their
own assumptions. No one likes to be
suddenly awakened. The Jews were
indignant with one who disturbed the
deep slumber of decided opinions. y
\ Out of their own scriptures by
their own methods of exegesis--in their
own style Of dialectics, by the interpre-
tation of prophecies of which they did
not dispute the validity, he simply con-
founded them. n \ II arguments
are such as can not be refuted and yet
II those who hear them will not yield to
them they inevitably excite bitter
rage. 1t was so with the Jews. Some
time had now elapsed since Saul's re.
turn from Arabia and they saw 10 i'm
mediate chance of getting rid Of this
dangerous intruder. They therefore
took refuge in what st. Chrysostum
calls "the Syllogism of Violence. -

The Business Failures,

for the third quarter Of 1879, as report
ed In Dun, Barlow & company's cirsn-
lar, show remarkable increase in busi-
ness confidence and business success,
For the third quarter of 1878 the fail
ures numbered 1858, with liabilities
amounting to s66,37s,363. For the
quarter ending October !, 1879, the
failures numbered 1862 liabilities
$l5,275,557. The number of failures
is thus less than one half, the amount
of liabilities less than Oue-fonrth what
they were year ago. For nins months
Of 1878 the failures were S,67S with
liabilities reaching sl97, ,2ll, ,l29. For
the corresponding term of the present
wear the failures we're $500, liabilities

An Eagle Attempts to Carry OF d
Child.

ChllO.
Duluth Tribune
Yesterday afternoon, while little Au-
gust Barr, aged seven years, was play
ing with his sisters, One five years
old and the other three and half
,, near by his fathers house, an enor-
nous eagle ponnced down upon them,
throwing tho two girls to the ground.
It Immediately attacked the young!
er one grasping one of the child's arms
with the claws Of one foot, while the
claws of the other foo. were deeply
buried in the child face, and 1t at
tempted to carry the child off, but was
prevented by IFS struggles. Little Au-
gust, seeing ti4s he could do nothing
with his own hands to help his sister,
ran quickly iato the house, got the
huLen+r-kulte and came out and whack-
ed array at the ealge's legs, cutting
on~ of them severely near the foot,
wherenpon the savage bird let go Of
the little grill and attacked the boy,
knocking him over, tearing his pants
auu giving nun soho eo'o'o ooA"eeASS'
In the meantime the screams OF the
children brought out their mother.
whereupon the eagle fed off to the
barn, on which he sat and looked as
though he would like to renew the con-
test should a favorable opportunity Of
fer itself but he stayed there little
too long for his own good, as Joe Betzler,
a reie hbor, was called, who took down
his gun and shot this great "emtlem
OF American freedom" and his eagle
ship, when killed, was found to meas
ure seven feet from wiDg-tip to wing
tip
The little girl who had this remark
able encounter is very badly scratched,
but not seriously hurt.

nothing to eat, and suffering intensely
from cold for day and a half. No boat

LiveIier Than . Fox Hu.t.

Rarly Thursday morning Andrew
Hofmeyer living on the line Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at Torrssdale,
near philadelphia, wa, awakened about
half-past five O'Clock by hearing an
unusually loud noise on the railroad
in which growls and shuffling formed a
principal part. Thinking something
wrong, he procured lantern and sal
lied ont in the darkness to find out the
cause. He had not gone far when he
saw veritable tigress ready to make
spring at him. To say that he hur-
ried away would only be putting it in
= mild form. Mr.. Honmeyer hurried
of as fast as he could travel. Fortu-
nately the tigress did not follows or Mr..
Hoffmeyer might have become a meal
for the ferociors beast. After taking
a long breath, he hurried to Red Lion
Hotel, near Torresdale, and gave the
alarm, when all hunted up revolvers,
rifles, shOtguns, and whatever came
handy, and then marched cut cautious
ly in search Of the beast. In short
time they came upon the animal in the
rear of a small tenement honse not far
from the hotel, and deployed outside of
the fence to get crack at the tigress.
The proprietor Of the "Red Lion" han
ded his bartender, Allen B. Eckert, a
heavy duck gun filed with shot. The
tigress was already couched for tae
spring, when with steady aim, draw
ing bead on the animal, Eckert fired
and struck it in vital part causing al
most instant death. There was sigh
Of relief when the tigress was found
stretched out at full length, and lady
who resided close by, who had locked
al the doors and shutters of tho house,
felt safe when the animal was killed.
The beast so proved to be Bengal IT,
gress, weighing 205 pounds. The IT,
gress escaped from train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, where it was locked
in cage with two cubs belonging to
Mr.. Forepaugh. The latter was on the
way, to his winter quarters at Frank
ford and the animal was not missed
until the latter place was reached. How
1t escaped is not known.
