There is no man who to-day occupies the position
OF the late Duke of Wellington. But the political
successor of the late Lord Derby to whom the Duke
was writing, is Lord Salisbury He is the elected
leader OF the Tory party, and the apowerful pilot
OF the Upper Chamber. When the Irish Land bill

hands OF the Government. In speech upon the mo

that though he thought the bill wrong in princ;nle
and miscellaneous in probable effect, he shonld vote

fashion as to strike at some of the chief features of

the right OF leaseholders to the benefit of ito
provisions, and In great number of other Less vital
points. In this mutilated condition it was sent

Rescued by q Dog.

AS Steve Howard, who lives Oh the
Cedar Hill road near Dallas, Texas, was
going home recently he was ovcrtaken
by three tramps, who walked along with
him for while, when one of them struck
him over the head with heavy walking
stick, knocking him down. Stevc's dog,
which had not been noticed up to this
time by the men, sprang Mt the man and
seized him by the throat. The other
two men set about knocking tho dog off
their companion, when the dog sprang
at one of them and bit him fcarfully.
Old Steve was now on his feet and with
a largo club came to the assistance of
his trusty dog. A pretty lively knocking,
biting, growing md cursing was kept
up for awhile, but the robbers finally
bent an inglorious retreat, leaving old
Steve and his faithful dog the victors.

Squirrels Bounce n Scorpion.

A gentleman residing in Virginia,
Nevada, who has as pets pair of the
little cotton-tailcd ground squirrels that
abound everywhere on the hills, recently
tried an experiment with them. He
procured live scorpion from some boys
who had caught it in the hills and threw
the reptile into the cage containing the
little rodents. On socing tho scorpion
both squirrels uttered their shrill cry of
alarm, a sound much the samo as That
made by the kingfishcr wien startled.
The pair circlcd round tho reptile, which
stood with tail erected over it's back and
sting vibrating viciously. Finally, quick
rs flash, one of tho squirrels dartcd
forward. With it's paws il brought the
tail of the scorpion to tho floor and in
stantly bit off the Joint containing the
sting. This done the squirrels dragged
his disarmed scerpionship into their in
ncrmost den to feast upon his carcass at

ed the castaway crew Of the wrecked
schooner.
They received him kindly, md he re-
manned with them until his ship hove in
sight, when, as shown, he came off with
them in the boat.
AS to Darkle, Bolton and the casta-
ways, thinking he might possibly have
reached the shore OH the ice, after the
wreck broke up, had looked for him,
but had seen nothing Of him until to-
day, when they started for the slip.
It was evident that, when the wreck
was going to pieces, the unfortunate
man succeeded in getting Oh the iceberg,
which the gale must have carried past
the headland, out to sea. Subsequently
it had drifted with the current to its
present locality, and thus it met the
gaze of the watchful captain, too late
for its occupant to be saved.
The body was buried from the vessel
that same afternoon.
A week later Bessie and Bolton were
married, and the crew of the wrecked
schooner added to the other witnesses OF
the ceremony.
Although au ocean bridal, it proved
to be n very pleasant wedding, and there
were many cheers for the happy young
couple.

a Lion Fight.

At the approach of feeding hour the
animals, by their restlessness and roar
ings, inform the public that something
exciting is in store for them. Men and
boys, and even the fair Sex, crowd close
to the bars to see the fcrocity of the
lions, leopards, and tigers while devour-
ing their afternoon repast of raw meat.
BY some accident or carclcssness the
grating that separated two of these for
est kings was left open, and quick as
lightning the Asiatic lion sprang Mt the
throat of his African adversary, who
nimbly avoided this first onset, and held
off his assailant at paws length, look
ing the very picture of savage rage and
fierceness, his eyes darting fire, his
mane bristling, lashing his tail about,
and swapping his teeth for the fray. The
keeper came, but his voice was not heed
ed by the magnificent representative of
tho Eastern Jungle. Apoke from stout
pole was administered to him, which in
stead OF having the desired effect, only
started an uproariol,s and deadly conflict

Tickling Snakes.

A correspondent from WilliamspOrt,
Pa, writes when within about hundred
feet of the fence surrounding the pasture,
l heard a loud Kissing sound, and turning
to discover its origin, received trcmcnd-
GUS blow across the chest, and in an in
slant found myself cncirclcd by huge
rattlcsnakc, and lifted to at least twenty
feet into the air, where | was held. The
pressure round my waist by the coil of
the snake was so great that you could
clearly hear the bones creak. Kate,
without waiting for NE to scream and
supplicatc assistance, as had done in her
dilemma, pulled up a spear Of herd-grass
and began to tickle the snakes belly as he
thus stood perpendicular holding me aloft.
This was more than his majesty could
stand, and lie rapidly unwound himself
and dropped me to the ground, breaking
my arm in the fall. As soon as I could
get on my feet made the most of my
freedom and started to run for home, for
getting all about Kate until heard q clear,
musical laugh, which recalled me again
to my senses. l turned and still found
her tickling the snake, who had stretched
himself out at full length on the ground,
and was receiving the operation with every
manifestation Of delight. forget the OK.
cruciatng pain of my broken arm in the
novelty of the scene. Presently he gave
a sort of prolonged singing sound, and
showed signs of being sleepy, gradually
| coiling himself up into utter lnscnsibiity.
Tickling had the effect of an opiatc.
While we were meditating what course
to pursue, our attention was directed to-
ward the rock, and forth from every fissurc
and hole came a multitude of similar snakes,
making directly for the place where we
were standing. Of course, we thought
our time had come but were ovcrjoycd
when we found Them stretch themselves
OH the ground after the manner of their
predecessor, evidently inviting us to tickle
them. The singing sound had reached
them rs m uttcrance Of JOY. Knowing q
refusal was positive death, we secured
more straws and commenced business
Similar results followed tho operation,
and amid our terrible position we could
not help apprecia,ing the ridiculous side
affairs had taken. In the course o. an
