inexperienced animal dealers have
sometimes allowed ostriches with other
animals, such as goats and deer, the Os-
trich ending by killing it's companions;
and ostriches have been known to kill
hyenas and other fierce beasts which,
getting out of their cages, attacked
them.
AS to the age to which an ostrich
can live in this country, it is impossible
to form any opinion. The few with
which we have had any experience
have been Gagged up and taken from
place to place with shows, a sort of
life not conducive to longevity. Mr..
Reiche doubts whether the ostrich will
thrive in any state north of the snow
line. The dry plains of Texas would
probably be the most favorable breed
ing ground. AS we pay 30 per cent
duty on the feathers, there would be
large profit here if the birds could be
bred with even moderate success. The
prices for young birds are much lower,
according to Mr.. Reiche, than those
mentioned in The Evening Post.
Birds from three to four months old
can be brought here from Nubia at a
cost of about $500 apiece and pay
fair profit.

A Terrible Situation.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Several days ago an item appeared
in the Courier Journal about hair be-
ing turned gray by sudden fright,
and yesterday a well-known saloon
keeper in this city met reporter and
remarked:
81 know of another instance Of hair
being turned gray by fright, which is
even more remarkable than the one
mentioned in the paper. About fifteen
years ago young man named Henry
Richards, who lived in Terre Haute,
Ind, was going home one evening
about dark from visit to friend,
and was walking along the railroad
track. Some little distance from town
was very high trestework over a
creek, there being no planks placed
across for walking, SO that people had
to go over on ties. Richards was walk
ing along at lively rate, and when he
arrived at the bridge he did not stop to
think that train coming in was then
due, but, being in hurry to get home.
he started to walk across on the cross
ties. He had gotten nearly halfway
across the bridge when the train came
slipping around a curve at lively
rate. He saw the train at once, and
started to run, but saw that it was use
less, as it would certainly Overtake him
before he could get off the bridge. He
was now in a terrible plight; to Jump
off was certain death, and if he re-
mained on the track the train would
crush him to pieces, There was no
woodwork beneath the bridge for him
to hang on to, SO he saw that his only
chance was to swing on to a small iron
rod that passed under the cross-ties. No
time was to be lest, as the train was
nearly on the end of the bridge. So he
swung himself under the ties, and in a
few moments was hanging on for dear
life. The engineer had seen him just
before he swung under the bridge, and
tried to stop the train, but did more
harm than good, as he only succeeded
in checking the speed of the train, and
made it longer time in passing over
the form of Richards. AS the engine
~passsa~ever, the Goals of fire from the
ash-pan dropped on his hands, burning
the flesh from the bone, as he could
not shake them off, and to let 60 would
have beer certain death.
The trial was at length over, and,
nearly dead from fright and exhaustion,
with his hands burned in a terrible
manner, Richards swung himself upon
the bridge again and ran home. When
he reached there, his hair had not
turned, but in short time afterward
it began to get gray, and by morning
was almost perfectly white"
