A Lions Skin for "a Dollar.

An Arizona paper relates an exploit
by a Mexican, which, for downright
foolishness, puts TO fight any of the
daring performances of the heroes of
Beadles yaller-backs 1t appears
that the Mexican, accompanied by his
dog, was on his way to Tempe to do
some trading, when the dog freed a
large California lion. The man was UNI
armed, save with large butcher-knife,
but nothing daunted, and knowing
where he could sell the skin for dol
lar, he whipped out his knife and started
up the tree after this specimen of the
king of beasts. Slipping up within
reaching distance, he plunged the knife
into the animal just behind the shoulder.
which so startled him that he leaped to
the ground and was instantly bounced
by the dog, when the man FASTENED from
the tree, sprang upon the beast, and
planted home-thrust through his heart.
without further damage to himself than
having his hat torn to pieces. The lion
measured about eight feet from the tip
of his nose to the tip of his tail, and had
he got one good blow at the man he
would have mashed him into jelly.
Mr.. Edwards informed us that this same
Mexican killed one of these beasts, about
three months ago, that measured over
nine feet from tip to tip, using no other
weapon than small pistol and knife,
and that he came near losing his life in
that encounter. Mr.. Edwards pays him
81 each for the hides, and is tanning
them for boot leather.

jim Bakers EulOgium Of the Jay.

There more to blue Jay than any other
creature. He has got more moods and
more different kinds of feelings than any
other creature: and mind You, Whatever
the blue-jay feels he can put into Ian
guage. And no mere commonplace IAN
guage. either, but rafting out-and-out
book falkland bristling with metaphor,
too-just hristling! And Us for q COM
mand of language why, you never sec
a blue-iay get stuck for n word. No man
ever did. They just boil out of him And
another thing noticed good deal
and there's no bird or COW, or anything
that uses as good grammar as n blue-jay
You may say a cat uses good grammar.
Well cat does but YOU let cat get eX-
cited once; You let cat get to pulling fur
with another cat on she'd nights, and
you'll hear grammar that will give you
the locklaw. lgnOrantpeoplet think it's the
noise which fighting cats make that is so
aggravating, but it amt so; it's sickening
grammar they use. Now I've never
heard a jay use bad grammar but very
seldom, and when they do, they are as
ashamed as a human. They shut right
down and leave.
You may call n jay bird. Well, so he
is, i'll measure-because he's got feath-
ers on him, and don't belong to church,
perhaps; but otherwise heis just as much
human as you he. And I'll tell you for
why: A jays gifts and instincts and
feelings and interests cover the whole
ground A jay hasn't got any more prin-
ciple than Congressman. A jay will
lie, a jay will steal, n jay will deceive,
Il jay will betray; and four times out of
five a jay will go back on his solemnest
promise. The sacredness of on obliga-
ton is thing which you can't cram into
no blue-iay's head. Now on top of all
this, there's another thing: jay can out
swear any gentleman in the mines. You
think cat can swear. Well cat can:
but you give n blue-iay subject that
calls for his reserve powers, and where is
your cat? Don't talk to met know too
much about this thing. And there's vet
another thing; III the one little particular
of scolding just good, clear out and ont
scolding-a blue-jay can lay over any
thing, human or divine. Yes, sir, a jay
is everything that man is. A Jay can
cry. n Jay can laugh. n jay canfeel shame, a
iay can reason and plan and discuss, a
Jaw likes gossip and scandal, Jay has
got sense of humor, a jay knows when
he is an ass just as well as you do-may-
be better If a jay amt human, he'd
better take IN his sign, that's all.-From
Mark 7tCain's "Iramp 4 6rOdd."

WOmen's Rights i'm Africa.

The Bolonda negroes in Africa believe
In the supremacy of woman. 1t is with
them the law that women shall sit in the
councils of the nation; that young man
on entering the matrimonial state shall
remove from his own village to that of
his wife, and in forming this relation he
shall bind himself to provide his mother
with wood SO long as she shall live.
Here, too, the wife alone can divorce the
husband, and the children in that event
become the property of the mother The
men cannot enter into the most ordinary
contract without the permission of the
lady superior of the domestic circle. In
the very heart of Central Africa is the
paradise that many women are vainly
striving for in American, and the rights
she clamors for here are already granted
in this far-off country to women, and by
what we call an uncivilized people" A
few delegates from Bolonda might be of
good service to the cause, for they at
least can speak from experience of what,
to us, are yet untried laws.

Is There A Central Sun.

1t is singular, remarks Mr.. r.. A Proc
tor, how strongly some errors retain
their hold on mems minds. When Mad
Ter announced his belief that Alcyone, the
chief star of the Pleiades, is the central
star of the universe, mems minds were
attracted by the thought that the steller
system, like the solar system, revolves
around center. Yet astronomers knew
perfectly we'll that the evidence on which
Nader based his theory was exceedingly
feeble. Sir John Herschel also pointed
out how unlikely it is that the center of
the Milky Way, if such center there re-
ally is, can lie so far away from the mean
plane of the Milky Way as the Pleiades.
/ have shown since that the only piece of
positive evidence advanced by Nader,
the drift of the stars of the constellation
Taurus in one direction, is in reality no
evidence ut all, for the simple reason that
a similar drift can be recognized in other
regions of the stellar heavens. / believe
that no astronomer of repute would now
venture to maintain the theory that Alcy-
one is the central sun of the steller sys-
tenn, while scarce any, OF any woui!
maintain that there Is central sun ut all.
Yet find that not only is the belief still
widely spread among the general public
that Alcyone is the central sun, but that
this theory excites far more interest than
most of the real discoveries, interesting
though they are, which have been made
during the last half century When L
reached Indianapolis j found myself call
ed on to decide, not whether the theory
is true or not, but whether it is due to
Bessel or Nader. My statement that
the origin of the theory was scarcely
worth considering, since the theory itself
was long since exploded, was received in
solemn silence, as if my words were scarce
ly credited. And when had endeavored,
and think succeeded, in showing good
reasons for rejecting the theory, l
could still feel that most OF my audience
would great deal rather have seen the
theory established than overthrown. Such
is the dominion which error sometimes
achieves over mems minds.

Raising a New Crop or Hair.

It was one of the bylaws of Heart

to bed that night the man bolted the
back door, put the cat in the wood-shed,
came in whistling the Fdtinitzd waltz,
danced up TO the clock-shelf, and pour
ing out handful of what he supposed
to be his fertilizer, he mopped it all over

roots of the little hedge of hair at the
back of his neck.
The glue bottle, by an unearthly
coincidence, was nearly the same shape
and size, as the hair-sap bottle

face to the wall, "that stuff you put on

Perhaps l better go up stairs and

This particular bald-headed man, like
n good many other bald-headed men,
had t. get up and build the fires. When
he arose next morning, the sun peeped
in at the window and saw the pillow
cling to the back of his head, like a
great, white chignon. AT first he did
not realize his conditions; he thought 1t
must have caught on a pin or II shirt

would throw it back on the bed before
his wife saw it, so he caught it quickly
by one end and "yanked. p"

like lunatic. His wife sprang up from
her couch and began to sob Historically

the matter?"
George was dancing about the room,
the pillow now dangling by few hairs,
his scalp covered with something that
looked like sheet copper, while the air
was redolent of warlike explosives, as if
dictionary had exploded. With a wo-
mans instinct the poor wife took in the
situation at n glance and explained:
'It is the glue!'
The bald-headed man sat down in a
chair and looked at her a moment in con-
temptuous silence and then uttered the
one expressive word:
