An Amusing Chase.

A Central Park attendant told a Sun
reporter how Il kangaroo that had es-
c,ped from the menagerie was recap
tured: He was 4 big one six feet high,
and the way he could jump was a eau
ton. We took him out one afternoon
to put him in a paddock that wo had
prepared for him. The fence around
the enclosure was Of unusual height,
and We thought the kangaroo was Sc
cure. Well. sir, he cleared the enclosure
with one bound, and away ne went
bobbing across the park, eight feet at a
lump. Half dozen men started in pur-
suit. They surrounded him and drew
in their circle about him. Just as they
thought they had him he gave a gentle
hop and vaulted right over the head OF
the man in front of him, and away he
went. We chased that animal for four
solid hours, until the men were blown
and tired. The only way you can hold
a kangaroo is to grab him by the tail.
One of our men tried it on this O, e. but
he got hold just az the animal had
braced for a prodigious Jump, and the
MAJ was flung about as far as the kan
CARGO could Jump. Another man Fl
nally got a good tail hold, and, re-enforce'
mcnts coming up. the Australian jumper
surrendered.

A SpanIsh Bull Story.

A Cadiz letter says: Notice has been
posted in all the public places that OF q
certain day the bull called "El Moro"
would be introduced into the arena, and
that, when be should have been goaded
to the utmost fury, q young girl would
appear and reduce the animal to quiet
subsection. The people of Cadiz had
heard of Eel Moro" as the most mag
nifcent bull ever brought into the city;
and it soon became known that the girl
thus advertised was a peasant girl OF
Espara, who had petted the bull, and fed
and cared for it during the years of its
growth. On the appointed day the vast
amphitheater was filed with an anxious,
eager crowd. The bulls had been killed
and dragged away, and the flourish OF
the trumpets announced the coming OF
the hero of the day. With a deep, ter
rife roar, Gel Moro " entered upon the
scene. He was truly magniicent-a bo-
vine monarch-black and glossy, with
eyes of fire, dilating nostrils and wicked
looking horns.
The picadores attacked him warily,
hurled their banderillos (small dart-like
javelins, ornamented with ribbons, and

bull had killed three horses of-band,
and had received eight banderillos in his
neck and shoulders, when, upon a given
signal, the picadores and matadores sud-
denly withdrew, leaving the Infatuated
beast alone in his wild paroxysms of
wrath. Presently q soft, musical note,
like the piping of lark. was heard, and
directly afterward a girl not more than
fifteen years of age, with the tasteful
garb of an Andalusian peasant, and with
q pretty face, sprang lightly into the
arena, approaching the bull fearlessly, at
the same time calling his name, moro!
Moro! Va voy" At the first sound of
the sweet voice the animal ceased his
fury, and turned toward the place
whence it came, and when be saw the
girl he plainly manifested pleasure. She
came to his head and put forth her hand,
which be licked with his tongue. Then
she sang a low, sweet song, at the same
time caressing the animal by patting him
on the forehead, and while she sang, the
suffering monarch kneeled at her teet.
Then she stopped and gently removed
the cruel banderillos, after which, with
her arms around lei Moro's" neck. she
led him toward the gate of the torril.

Living With Part of His Skull Gone.

! On June 80, 1878, F. Marion Davis, a
heate- in the rolling mill of the Phila-
delphia Iron and Steel company, was
struck by an iron clamp. weighing abou:
fourteen pounds, which was thrown,
| with terrible force, from the shaft of q
revolving fy-wheel. The clamp was in
the form Of the letter H." made of
square iron, and one of the exterior an
giles of the iron at the curved part of the
clamp struck MIR. Davis in the forehead,
breaking loose and partly forcing
through the skin a crescent. shaped
fragment Of the frontal bone, measuring
three inches il extreme length and
seven-cighths of IN inch in width in the
center or the widest part, thus produc-
ing not only q compound fracture Of the
skull, bet cutting through the longitu-
dinal sinus or large blood. vessel OF the
interior of the top of the head, permit
ting an extrusion and loss OF consider
able portion of the brain substance.
: This form of fracture, known as ecrase-
ment, or "smashL." consists not only Of
n crushing of the bone itself, but also Of
. n separating of the neighboring sutures.
Besides the injury to the skull there was
Il looscning of the teeth and such injur-
les of the Jaws that the patient was un-
| able to open his mouth for more than
three weeks. Mr.. Davis was carried to
his home, and DR.. I. g. Young, OF Ken
sington, was summoned. On an examin-
alton of the wounds they were pro-
ncunced necessarily fatal. DR.. d. H.
AgneY, professor of surgery in the
university of Pennsylvania, was called
in consultation, and he agreed with DR..
Young that the LESSONS were Of such ~
nature that there vas no hope OF saving
the mans life, but that while there was
life there was something to work for. and
everything was done which the feelings
Of humanity and surgical skill could
suggest. On the third day after the &C
cident another consultation WAS held by
DR.. Young and Prof. Agnew. but there
were no new developments from which
they could gather any hope, and it was
not until the expiration of about the
fifth week that any announcement was
given. In about nine weeks the wound
was closed by soft tissue, and a few
months later about one-halfof the cavity
was closed by Il new bony formation.
and the remaining part is now covered
by a soft tissue, through which the pull
sations Of the brain are plainly visible.
Notwithstanding the danger impending
over Mr.. Davis for so many months, he
:,as entirely recovered his physical
powers His mental characteristics,
although materially changed, are con-
sidered by the physicians wonderfully
good when the facts of the case are taken
into considerations Philadelphia Times.

MISCELLANEOUS
THE sun FOR 1881.

Everybody reads THE SUM- In the editions of this
newspaper throughout the year to come ever ybody
will find:
!. All the worlds news, so presented that the
reader will get the greatest amount of information
with the least unprotable expenditure of time and
eyesight. IHE SUN long ago discovered the golden
mean between redundant fulness and unsatisfactory
brevity.
u.Much of that sort of news which depends less
upon its recognized Importance than upon its inter-
est to mankind. From morning to morning THE
SUN prints continued story of the lives of real men
and women and of their deeds plans loves hates
and troubles. This story is more varied and more
interesting than any romance that devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column, and freshness,
originality accuracy and decorum In the treatment
of every subject
". Honest comment. THE SUNS habit is to speak
out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each political
party, and equal readiness to commend what is
praiseworthy or to rebuke what is bamabe in Dem
ocrat or Republican
VI. Absolute independence of partisan organiza-
tons, but unwavering loyalty to true Democratic
principles. THE sun believes that the Government
which the Constitution gives us is good one to
keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost
power the efforts of men in the Republican party to
set another form of government in place of that
which exists. The year 1881 and the years imme-
diately following will probably decide this supremely
important contest THE SUN believes that the VIC
tory will be with the people against the Rings for
monopoly, the Rings for plumber, and the Rings for
imperial power
