up in Metz 80 long In 1S70-is farm
ing in Spain.
Two brothers named George and
Haight Drumrnond, living near Wood
msncie, N. j., were drowned while

him, huge bear, that growled fero-
ciuusly. He seized . six chambered
revolver and leveled it at the beast,
but before he could fire, he heard the
words, "Hslt, halt ~ The bear sat
on his bind legs aud wruog his fore
paws. "Wbat." cried the artist, "do
bears speak English ?" Then holding
the revolver close to the nose of the
pretended beast, he demanded, "W hat

The rouge in the bears skin replied
that he was merely earning his living
He was driver by profession, but the
season had been very bad one and he

ALL the reading civilized world has
been shocked at the railroad bridge
disaster at the Firth of Tay, in Scot
land. To save long roundabout
way, q bridge almost two niles long
was built across the firta of Tay.
1t Was railroad bridge. The great
est depth of wafer is forty feet the
highest point Of the bridge above
the water is $50 feet, a hight suffi
cient to be out of the way of ships.
The bridge was built, or completed
in 1878. On Sunday night week,
a passenger train, having on board
75 to 303 people, entered the bridge,
but never crossed it, but plunged
into the sea, and nothing has been
heard or seen of it since, excepting a
few pieces of broken cars that have
hoated to the surface of the water,
and some wearing apparel Of the un-
fortunate passengers. A great gale
prevailed that night, but whether the
gale blew part of the bridge down,
or whether the train broke it, can
never be known, for there are no sur
vivors to tell OF the facts The gap
in the bridge is about half mile
long. comprising eleven of the long
est spans, each 245 feet in length,
and one span of 145 feet in length.
Divers have come but little speed in
finding the wrecked train. The place
wbeie the train sank is full of quick
sands. and if the bodies Of the
are not recovered within a
few days they viii become imbedded
with the cars beyond recovery.

DEMOCRATIC papers profess to be
lieve that the grand receptions to
Grant are manufactured receptions.
They have overlooked the fact that in
the old worlds across the sea, where
no one could probably have per
ssnal interest in the General, great,
hearty receptions were accorded TO
him in every country, excepting Ire
land. The respect paid to Grant is
as hearty as that which was paid to
Washington. He also was accused
Of many evil designs upon the Gov
ernment that he did so much to
build up.

"A DETECTIVE was scpt to Canada

extradition papers for forgery, So he
merely made the acquaintanTe OF the

put the nippers on his prisoner, and
revealed himself. When they landed
and took a Lake Shore train, the de
tective put his prisoner on the inside
end of seat, sat by him at the outer
end, and went to sleep. The prisoner
climbed over the back of the seat and
got out at the next town. When the
fly cop woke up and found his man
gone, he got off at the next station,
took freight train passing the other
way, and soon reached the town
where, the brakeman told him, his
man jumped Of. He determined to
go TO bed and get some rest before
hunting up the fugitive, but the only
and wretched hotel in the village had
but one place to put him, and that

went into the room with a candle, and
the slumberer was his late prisoner.

clothes up with a string and hung
them out of the window. Then he
