Lady Florence Dixie, an English.
woman, who is an energetic traveller,
was savagely attacked by jaguar in
South America. In sclf-defense Lady
Florence shot the animal and captured
her cub. She took it to England, and
it has grown to be beautiful creature,
so tame and gentle that if it were not
so mischievouS it might run at large.
As Lady Florence is going to Africa, she
has deposited her singular pet at the
Geological Gardens in London.
Mr.. Malone, the new Senator from
Virginia, was poor Irish boy educated
on free scholarship at the military in
stitute where Stonewall Jackson taught.
He began his career by carrying a sur
veyor's chain on a railroad, and was
known as skillful General in the Con-
federate army. A correspondent of the
Troy Times says that Mahone's divis-
ion was the only one that appeared on
the final scene at Appomattox Court
House intact, and unbroken in spirit
and discipline. Malone is now called
"the Virginia Sphinx"
Emigration as u national evil is sore
ly troubling Italian statesmen. Stats
tics prove to lis that |, l6S. 900 emigrants
left their overtaXed country between
1868 and 1878, having previously OBJ
tanned certificates from the Government,
whereas an unknown number annually
depart without letting the Government
know. And of all these it is estimated
that one-quarter 90 away with the de-
termination never to return. The larg-
est contingent is supplied by the prov
ince OF Venice, the next by Genoa and
the third by Lombardy, apparently in
exact ratio to their former prosperity.
1t must lbe confessed that the build
ing of stable for twenty horses on the
top of private mansion, access to
WHICH is obtained by means of lift,
is calculated to awaken a feeling of as
constituent even in these days of mar
vels. Yet this is the case on house
just erected in Belgrave Square, Lon
don, by Mr.. Sassoon. Ground is very
valuable in the fashionable part of Lon
don, and by RELOCATING the horses to the
top of the house, two birds are killed
with one stone, for space is saved and
the smell of the stables avoided. The
horses do not seem by any means to OBJ
ject to the mode of ascent; possibly
they are unconscious of it, on account
of the closed shutters of the lift.
A blind boy at Montreal has made
miniature house inside an ordinary four.
ounce medicine bottle. The building
is made Of forty pieces Of wood, neatly
glued and fitted together. II would
puzzle man who is not blind to get the
pieces into the bottle without putting
them together. The stopper of the bot
tie is still more wonderful. 1t almost
fits the neck of the bottle, the top being
large enough TO prevent its going
down too far. Near the other end Of
the stopper, inside the bottle,
below the neck, a wooden peg has
been driven, which extends far
enough on each side of the stopper to
prevent its removal from the bottle.
How this is accomplished is a mystery.
Senator Hill, of Colorado. was once a
Professor in a New York College, and
went West to work in the smelling fur
naces and learn the whole business. He
found that there was something want
ng in the process of smelling the ores
by which all the metal could be obtain
ed. He knew that in Wales there
we're smelling works which used pro-
cess, kept more or less secret, that
proved more eifectual than the one in
Colorado. He went to Wales as a COM
non laborer in one of the establish
ments. He stayed there two years till
he learned the secret, and then return
ed TO Colorado and introduced the pro-
cess. His smelling works near Denver
are the largest in the country.
