HOnOrs to the Brave A Goose Story.

On Wednesday an interesting fight
between two geese was witnessed IN
vacant lot on Summer street, near South
Union. A flock of geese were engaged
in extracting from large rnud-hole
such delicacies as are relished as food
by that festive bird, when O strange
goose made his appearance and began
quietly grubbing, evidently deeming the
.mud-hole common property. For some
time the appearance of this stranger
was not noticed, but at last one of the
geese looked up and beheld the intrud-
er, and, walking to his companions,
seemed to communicate the intelligence
to them. A short consultation was held,
and one of the number approached the
intruder, and, as subsequent actions
proved, extended challenge for COM
bat. This challenge was promptly ac-
copied, and the two began to fight, all
the geese surrounding the two cackling
fiercely. For a period of about ten
minutes the warfare was waged fiercely,
and at the end of that time the intruder
began to press his antagonist so hard
that he took refuge in flight. The in
trrder, after following his opponent
short distance, returned to the specta-
tors and was received by them in 81
lence. He raised his wings and strut
ted round, cackling all the time. The
whole crowd then followed the van
quished goose, kissing and striking at
him with their mouths, and forcing him
away. The victorious intruder was
taken into full membership, their for
mer companion being banished. The
process of grubbing in the mud-hole
was then resumed with unwonted activ-
ity.-NashUille (Ten1l.) american.

ZULULAND.
The Last of a Savage War.

-.Fft' IL AoAAA eAio OuCdSO Inter ocean,
Cetywayo and his barbarians having
been at length scattered to the four
winds, the British authority is now para
mount over all the races and tribes in
Southern Africa, from Cape Town to
the Zambesi. The Zulus are said to
number 100000 in all, with 10000
fighting men who are not allowed to
marry lest their efficiency as soldiers
might be impaired. Then native i'm
plements of war consist of the assegai,
which is an instrument somewhat like
harpoon, with jagged edges that tear
the flesh, and a shield. They are also
armed with rifles which are said to have
been sold to them in great numbers. a
few years ago, by the South African
diamond traders who gave firearms in
exchange for diamonds, and for labor
in the diamond fields. They have not
become good marksmen, however, and
they frequently throw away their rifles
in battle, and fall upon the enemy with
their most dreadful and familiar
weapons, the assegais. One who shows
cowardice in battle is afterwards called
into the Kings presence and put to
death by process frequently applied
to fowls in other countries, but to human
beings nowhere outside of Zululand:
one strong man holds the culprit's head
firmly between both his hands, while
another twists his body around until
his neck is broken. This treatment is
said to have very invigorating effect
upon the rest of the army.
The Zulus are the last and greatest
of the hostile tribes that menaced the
Transvaal and Natal, both of which are
entirely under British dominion. They
are the Bourbons of Africa, for they
never learn anything, and never forget
anything. To every suggestion of

wayo has been chatting like Gagged lion

west, at another the Amaswazi on the

Terrible Scene in a Menagerie.

A thrilling incident recently occurred
in a travelling menagerie at Towanda,
Pa, which is thus related by a local
paper: The animals in one cage. two
lions and tiger, were fed at that time,
being separated by swinging doors,
which were fastened during the feed
ing, and afterward lifted, throwing the
animals together as happy family.
These doors were lifted !. ter it was
supposed the animals had finished their
meal, but a large piece of meat had
been left by the ioness. This the
tiger saw, and was about to spring upon
it, when the lion covered it with his
paw. Prof. Mcdonald, the trainer,
spoke to the lion, but he refused to
move, and he then tried to force the
meat from the animals paws with the
feeding fork, but without purpose, as
the lion held on and growled in def
around, the Professor opened the door
of the cage and sprang almost upon the
beast, which in turn sprang upon the
man, striking him a powerful blow on
his chest, that staggered him and lace
rated the flesh. An attendant. thinking to
assist the now powerless trainer, caught
him by the foot and pulled him near
the door. The lion again struck him,
tearing the flesh in his thigh. The sit
uation at this time was one of terrible
suspense to those who were involuntary
witnesses of it. Ladies tainted, chill
dren screamed; but the trainer, who
seemed to suddenly recover his senses,
was on his feet in a moment. He
looked the big beast squarely in the
eyes, and met him half way, maintain
ing the steady gaze. He said in firm
yet afectionate manner, "Ned, what are
you doing? Do you want to kill me,
your best friend?" The Towanda paper
says it really seemed that the king of
the forest" understood every word that
was being said to him, for, dropping his
eyes, he went to the piece of meat and
showed it to his keeper. He then APP
preached his trainer and looked very
penitent for what he had done, lying
calmly down at his feet. y.1E s...e..

She Knew He Was There.

It was warm afternoon, ard young
Mr.. Cummagin did not go into the
house, but sat down on the porch, as
was his custom, after ringing the bell.
Her little sister came to the door and
looked at him with some curiosity.
"Does your sister Mabel know I am
here, Nellie?" he asked. "Oh, yes" re-
piled the innocent prattler, II guess she
does; she told me to come out and see
how shady it made the front yard when

fight under the flag and save the Republic. and
there IS to-day again such a revival of
the party as we have not seen since 1868. In
my own State, three months before the cleo
ton, the people are actually taking census of
the townships and making out list of voters.
The campaign has begun, and begun at the
right end, among the people themselves. This
American people has been more profoundly
moved by events of the last three months than
anything I have known for ten years We
have not sought to revive the dead issues of
the war. For one would be glad if all the
bitterness of that strife would rest in the green
graves OF our dead. But, anxious as am to
join in friendship with every American
under the flag, North or South, there
ls just one term of agreement on which
l can stand, and only one. It must be
this: will join hands with no man who does
not admit that the war for the Union was right
-everlastingly, forever right. And that the
war against the Union was wrong, was crime.
was treason, was all that was deserving of the
thunders of war and the punishment of death.
And the man who is willing to admit the eter-
nal rightfulness of our efforts to put it down
is my brother from this day forward and for
ever, but on no other ground will / greet him
or acknowledge him. We may as well not
blink these questions. Let not our senti-
was terribly dead in-earnest business. It
was not a question which State had the most
Greeks. 1t was a question which State had
justice and eternal right, and ours was that
State, or we are all rascals together. All the
other issues grow out of this. We stand to-
gether on them as we have done, and rejoice
to see Wisconsin young, strong, hopeful
steady, running on her high old plane of faith
fulness to the Republican party. | don't care
if the Democrats do take up our old positions,
