Eccentric Animals.

The subject OF a depraved taste
in animals Is al interesting one,
which hcs not been studied &c
much perhaps ss 1t might. In
human beings it would seem to de-
pend on i'll health or either body
or mind, but in animals it would
seem as If 1t might be present aud
the animal enjoy good health. One
remarkable instance ia an herbiv-
orous animal we can vouch for. It
occurred Ia sheep that had been
shipped on board one of the p. and
O steamers to help to sppply the
kitchen on board, but while fatten-
Ing it developed an iuordinate
teste for tobacco, which 1t would
eat in any quantity that was CIV
en- to 1t. 1t did not care much for
cigars, and altogether objec. ed to
burnt ends; but it would greedi'y
devote the half chewed cud of a
sailor or a handful ofroll tona co.
While chewing there was apper-
emily no undue flow of saliva, and
lis taste Was so peculiar that most
of the passengers on board amused
themselves by feeding 1t. to see for
themselves If 1t were really SO. As
consequence through in a fair
condition the cook was AFRAID 10
Kin the sheep, believing that the
mutton would have a flavor of
obacco.
Another very remarkable case
has just been communicated 10 rs
by Mr.. Francis GoodIske; this
time f|esh-eating animal in the
shape OF kitten, about five
months Old, who shows passion
ate fondness for salads. 1t eats no
end Of sliced cucumbers Dir sed
with vine2ar, even when hot with
cayenne nepper. After a little
fencing u has eaten a piece of boil.
Ell beef W tn mustard. / mother
was at leest once seen 10 eat a slice
OF cucumber which had salt, pep
per, aud vinegar on it. The kitten
Is apparently in good health, and
l. estraordi oacy testeis not easily
accounted for. Even supposiog it
once got feed Of salmon mayon-
naise, why should it now select to
prefer the dress.ug 10 The fish?

A Desperate Arkansas Tramp.

Chicago July 22.-The Times of this
morning has special detailing exciting
events in Carroll county, Arkansas, by which
thieving tramp and two citizens lost their
lives. j. W. Myers, farmer living in. that
county, found, upon returning to his house
from the fields, that it had been plundered
in his absence, be Immediately gave chase
and ran the thief into Scott county, Missouri,
where he was stopping over night at the house
of Mr.. Rendering. He soon had him COW
cred with a rife, and the tramp, smiling, said
he would surrender, but FIVE seconds later
drew pistol, while his captor was off his
guard, and shot him through the heart. The
tramp then escaped back into Arkansas,
where the sheriff and eight men ran him
down at the house of an old man, supposed
to be his father. They surrounded the house
and when he appeared in the door opened
fire simultaneously, causing dust TO fly
from his clothes, but not MORALLY
wounding him. He returned the fire with
pistol in either hand, and while they
were reloading took the fields. The posse
followed him, and firing another volley,
brought him to the ground apparently dead,
but when one of the party, Mr.. Jones' went
up to take q look at the most daring man
that ever lived, the fellow pointed pistol
directly at his head and fred it, Mr.. Jones
falling back dead. The desperate was des-
perately wounded in several places, and soon
after expired. He is believed to have been
concerntdi in many 'rk deeds of late in that
action
