How American Contributions were Dis
tributed i'm Ireland

America has contributed, | believe,
$4,000, 900 for the relief of Irish disti ass
within the last twelve months. 1t is
true that the larger part of the sum was
contributed by Americans of Irish de-
scent, but still it was contributed
although munificently and nobly alb
stracted-from the national wealth of the
United States.
THIS vast amount was sent through
ten different channels--tirst to the Castle
fund; second, to the Mansion House
fund; third, to the Land League fund;
fourth, to the Herald fund fifth, to the
Nun of Kenmare fund; sixth to the
Catholic Hierarchy; seventh, to the, Pro-
testant Hierarchy: eighth, to the prom
inent citizens in different towns by
Sh-Americans, who were born in
them, and, tenth, to thousands of fam
lilies by their exiled members in Ameri-
ca. This last channel probably exceed
ed every other in the volume ofits ben
eficence. Families who had not heard
Il word from absent members for many
years past have been supported by them
this winter.

THE THRILLING MOMENT,
Chased by n BowIder which bounded
Down = Mountain side.


Yesterday afternoon curious acci
dent happened to party of eXcur-
sionists from San Francisco who were
driving down from Lake Bigler 5ohn
Simmons, William Townsend and
Charles n. Balch, who had spent
week at the lake, were coming down in
a private conveyance, when in Clear
Creek canyon, Just this side of where
the tlmne crosses the road for the first
time, the team was struck by filling
bowlder They were driving along
leisurely when Mr. Balch saw the rock.
which weig ed several tons, coming
down the mountain side. He called
the attention of his comrades to the
fact, and an effort was made to whip
up the horses At the same instant
they saw the danger themselves, and
became so frightened that they simply
backed on their launches and snorled
with terror. 1t was only the work { a
few seconds for the rock to reach he
team, and as it struck them it swept
them off the road into the stream at
the right, and sent the wagon and its
occupants into the bushes
The heavy growth of willows broke
the force of their fall. and aside from
a few scratches they were uniniuled.
One of the horse was completely OBJ
liberated, and the driver Townsend,
was covered with spattered blood The
other horse was so badly mangled that
he was shot in the head with revolvers
to relieve him of his misery. Last
night Doc Benton sent up n team and
brought down the wagon, which was
but little damaged. The fall of the bowl
der was probably caused by the gradual
loOsening of the soil beneath it,

Last nights train brought to our city
Billy Madden, the famous pugilist,

try it would be difficult to find. Billy
left New York some time since for n
pleasure trip to the coast He has
passes all over the west, obtained
through the influence Of JAY Gould.
whose son is Billy's pupil, and, while
expecting to go ON to New York again
very soon, is yet SO in loye with his
profession and the American dollar
that at the places he stops for any con
siderable time he forms a class, gives
an exhibition or two, and thus gratifes
his ambition to make the trip without
expense to himself. We do not pro-
pose to say a word about the athlete,
for all who are interested in sports are
familiar with his name. We will only
say that he is the acknowledged light
weight boxing champion of America.
He is admitted the most scientific
handler of the gloves in America, as
well as the most handsome. Ii is his
intention to stop over here for few
days, during which time he will make
the acquaintance Of the Olympic boys,
give their best boxers Il point or two
probably on the nose-and teach the
boys how to handle the buckskin with
precision, grace and effect. He bears
letters Of introduction 10 prominent
western men from Jay Gould and
others in New York, where he is CON
sidered pet in sporting circles We
are confident Billy will do well in Zion,
and recommend him to all our sporting
friends as master of his art and a
gentleman.

LASS0ING A PUMA.
\ Mountain Lion Caught mt One Toss
of the Kiata

For some time past an old and q
gantic mountain lion has been nlaying
havoc with the young colts ana calves
of different herds around Walnut
Creek, and so great had the destruction
of young animals become of late that
a party of experts with the lasso de-
cided upon the capture of the monster.
Accordingly Ike Goodman, Dan 0Leary
and Mr.. Ambrose went out where he
was wont to roam and lay for him.
Mr. Lion appeared every night there
fore they were pretty sure of their
game. They encamped near band
of horses belonging to George Cornell
and awaited the coming of the boss
lion in northern Arizona. Just Ut day
break they heard the cry of young
colt and knew that his lordship, the
lion was at his work. Mr.. Ambrose
and Mr.. Goodman saddled their horses
and prepared their riatas with view
of lassoing the animal. They soon
found their game drinking the warm
bleod from hundred dollar colt, when
Ambrose threw the laSso over the
beast, holding him fast and secure.
The lion took in the situation and made
fight With one bound he lit on the
rump of the horse, ready to perform
on Ambrose the operation which he
had just concluded ON the colt when
Ike Goodmans lasso was thrown over
the lion, and in an instant the giant
lion, which measured eight and Il half
feet, was stretched out longer than any
rail that Uncle Abe Lincoln split when
he followed rail-spltting for livelihood
in the early days of Illinois. A costly
animal has been disposed of, much to
the peace Of the colts and calves and
the owners thereof.

The Empress Eugenie in England A gain.


The Empress Eugene returned to
England last week from her melancholy
pilgrimage to Zululand. | was told by
one who saw her recently that she is
quite wreck of her former beautiful
self. She has nothing left to attach
her to earth. All whom she loved have
been taken from her-her ambition
dead, her hope uprooted. And this
continued dashing down of each and
everything which made life dear has
made her almost rebel against the de-
crees of the Supreme Deposer of events
and murmur against the necessity OF
remaining in this, to her, empty world.
Many have blamed her for allowing
the Prince Imperial to go. She never
suggested his going; quite the reverse.
The idea was planted by the restless
Bonapartists in France, and when once
persuaded by them the Prince Imperial
would not listen to others counsel.
He inherited his mothers headstrong
will, and nothing would divert him
from his purpose. The widow, the
mother, and the woman deserves our
warmest sympathy. 1t is to he hoped
that in the affection and esteem of
those who live around her, in this
adopted country, she will find some
consolation for what now appears to
her us irreparable losses.

A JEFFERSON COUNTY BEAR HUNT.

The town Of Tylerville, says the
