the Weddell House, yesterday, and got
the worst of it, Both parties were ar

The above little paragraph, which
was clipped from the Cleveland Sun
dan Voice, reminds us Of an adven-
ture which befell the celebrated prize
fighter Tom Hyer, in Albany, good
many years ago. Hyer was an Amer
lean, and il was just after the famous
battle with yankee Sullivan" the
Irish champion, in which the former
was victorious, and when Hyer's name
was in almost overybodys mouth.
liver was the worse for liquor, and in
passing along the sidewalk he jostled
rather roughly a countryman who was
minding his own business. The latter
said little savagely. "Come, what are
you aboutp" Hyer turned and slapped
him in the face. The countryman, like
the prize fighter, was of large stature,
and, not knowing who it was that had
insulted him, fell afoul of Hyer with
great fury. The prize fighter found
himself doubled up so quickly that he
had no time to display any of that SCI
ence which had used up Yankee Sulli-
van. Hyer, after the first onset picked
himself from the gutter where he had
been hurled, and struck an attitude
which might have appalled, a scientific
opponent, but to the aroused country
man it was like shaking red flag in
the eyes of an enraged bull, and he
went for him again like hurricane.
liver a second time went down under
the furious onset, and the countryman,
determined to follow up tho advantage,
threw himself upon the PROSTATE form
of his gigantic antagonist and COM
menced to pound him numerically.
In the meantime a large crowd had
gathered, and one man who knew Hyer
sang out "Hyer! What the h are
you doing to let n countryman lick
yerP"
The victorious yeoman heard the
name, "Hyer," turned pale to think of
his peril, and springing to his feet,
leaving his hat in the street, took TO
his legs and ran at headlong pace as
though pursued by something worse
than Tam O'Shanter ever fled from.
He left Albany by the leg express,
and did not stop at the way stations

EXPLORATIONS in the Gaboon.


Hugo Won Koppenfels describes the
result of his very recent explorations in
the Gaboon. On the Eliva Conf Gan
inland lake) he had met with the goril-
la and shot fine male specimen. He
declares he has fully satisfied himself
Of the existence of hybrid forms be-
tween the male gorilla and the female
chimpanzee, and ho would thus ac-
count for the many so-called species,
many Of which get local names from
the natives He found the Oschebas.
visited by Du ChaiIu, a harmless,
though somewhat suspicious people.
In tho country about the Gaboon the
mammalian fauna Is poor; there are
none Of tho large antelopes, girailes,
gnus, zebras, quaggas, rhinoceroses.
gazelles, lions, ETC., which abound in
the interior, but the leopard is common
and the fine black variety, though rare,
Is now and then seen. Great wild hogs
abound; otter and porcupines are oom-
mon. Besides the man-like apes, the
blue-faced mandril and tho long-tailed,
dog-faced baboon are 10 b. found. In
the rivers and lakes there are hippopot-
ami, which sometimes, but rarely, go
down 10 the ocean. The manatee, be-
ing much hunted for It's delicious flesh
by tho natives, is continually decreas-
ing In number, and will in all proba-
bi!!ty soon DO quite extirpated. OF
reptiles there are two crocodiles, q

among these the python, of which one
was shot just eighteen feet in length.
