Upon being told they were, she said she

Battle Of the HIenas.

There was savage fight, not long
since in the hyena den on Col. Burt
Robbins farm, near Janesville, Wis,
a report of which we fluid in a local
journal. Robbins winters his circus and
menagerie on his farm here, and five
hyenas have passed through the season
together. behaving themselves as be-
comes good, peaceable hyenas, until
last night, when they held "highena'
carnival among themselves. They
went at each other with sharpened teeth
aud glaring eyes, and bristling hair and

growls of anger. One of their num-
Der had his nose literally chewcd of

all old showmen that witnessed the

LoUIsrANA Moss.-The Louisiana

by negroes, and after tree is stripped

NOTHING LIKE PAPER.-The old ad-
age used to be, " Nothing like leather" :"
1t should now be, Nothing like paper"
Paper is used for almost everything.
Among the things made of paper ex-
hibited at the Berlin exhibition not
long since, were paper buckets,
" bronzes," urns, asphalt roofing, wa
ter cans, carpets, skirts, whole suits OF
clothing, jewclry, material for garden
walks, window curtains, lanterns and
pocket-handkerchiefs. The most strik-
ing of the many objects exhibited in
this material was. perhaps, a fire-stove,
with cheerful fire burning in it. There
were newly-invented railway carriages
and chimney pots, -four barrels, cottage
walls, roofing tiles, and bricks and dies
for stamping, all made of paper. At
tention has frequently been called to
the value of ordinary sheets of paper
as substitute for bedclothes, or at
least, an addition to bedclothes. The
idea seems to have suggested the fabri.
cation of blankets from the cheap
material. and if all that is said of them
Is true, they ought to be extensively
used.-lDetroit Free Press.

Mrs. Latham of Lynchburg, Va,
having discovered that her husband
was Republican, sued for a divorce
on that ground. The Corporation Court
of Lynchburg decreed the divorce, but
1t was carried to the Court of Appeals,
where il was overruled. Judge An
derson of that court dissented from the
majority, and held that being Repub-
lican was just cause for woman to ap-
ply for a d vorce. This remarkable
judge descants upon the matter as fol-
lows:
"The shock and modification of Mrs
Latham was to find that her husband
had not been true; that he had de-
serted his friends aud had gone over t.
the enemy, and had joined him in wag
ing upon them war more cruel than .
war of arms. 1t was perfdy, the mora
taint of which she felt attached to him
aud which would likely exclude hin

printed from movable types, and each
publisher takes a certain number OF

superstructure is concealed by deep
accumulation of superficial detr,ur.
but among the mountains the whole
construction of the earth's rocky coast
l. laid bare. There, amid all that is
grand aud most impressive In nature,
the chronicles of the globe must be
read. From q study of mountain ar.
chitecture, we learn that the dry land
has been upheaved, at many successive
period, from the sea floor; that these
upheavals have taken place generally
along the same persistent lines, and
that they were separated by prolonged
periods of subsistence. After each up
lit the new land has been exposed to
disintegration, and its debris has been
carried out to the sea bottom, there to
accumulate into the thick masses Of
rock out of which future lands were to
be formed. During the more impor-
tant movements of upheavals, massive
sheets Of solid rock have been COM
pressed, crumpled, and even rendered
crystalline, and have been squeezed up
along lines which have formed noun
tain chains. Volcanoes, too, have
broken out along these lines of terres-
trial disturbance, and have poured
forth enormous volumes of lava from
their heated interior. BY revolutions
of this nature, often repeated, the
framework of the land has been slowly
built up. During the early ages of
tardy mountain growth, many tribes OF
plants and animals have come and gone.
These reveal the fact that there have
been a history and a progress of Or
ganic life as we'll as the solid platform
on which this life has been manifested.
Generation after generation has passed
away; species have changed, even
whole types of existence have entirely
disappeared, but the reports of this
progress in the organic world have been
preserved within the rocky framework
of land with sufficient fullness to serve
as landmarks in geological history.
The remains of the extinct ferns and
trees, corals and shells, fish and rep
tiles, entombed within the mountains,
becomes the clew by which the success
sive dates of the upheaval OF these
mountains are relatively fixed. They
bring before US glimpses of the gcogra-
ply Of the long vanished pasL-here a
fair woodland with its lakes and its
streams; there a sandy shore bounded
