Among Loose Lions.

| MIR. George Sanger, having engaged
with Mr.. Paul Cleves, the proprietor OF
the Porte st. Martin theatre, Paris, to
supply eight lions, two dromedaries and
two elephants, to appear in a spectacular
play, the lions were brought to the thea
tire. Anime the next morning the man in
charge of the elephants, with an express
sion of terror in his countenance, said in
whisper to Mr.. Sanger: 1.-The lions are
OUT '.Well," said MFR. Sanger, ..why
don't you catch them ? Where's the
keeper, MacomoP" Don't know, sir. +"
Mr.. Sanger, taking an oil-lamp, with a
wretched, smoked globe, went on to the
stage, and, after walking about for a
time, was heard to say: 20, there You
are, are your and. looking over a trap
in the stage, he saw the big lion ITCH
borne, and presently the other two came
prowling by. '.All right, 1 will soon
have them," said Mr.. Sanger. At this,
the big lion, as though he understood
what was said, threw up his head and
opened his ponderous jaws, showing his
greattusks. Mr.. Sanger took a heavy
whiPused by the elephant-keeper, and
with this in one hand and the lamp in
another, dashed into the cellar. The
lions instantly dashed off. Presently he
was heard TO say: "It's all right, have
got one of them" Mr.. Sanger came up
on the stage, and said the other two were
concealed among the broken timber and
waste ~ of the cellar. and

he answered, III have engaged to bring
eight lions here to appear in the play,
and not to roam about in the THEATRE
At this moment something was heard to
fall. Mr.. Sanger, leaving without saying
word, went into the cellar again, and,
after searching in vain for the lions for
some time, discovered that they had got
into the bottom cellar. They had fallen
a depth of twenty feet. '.All right,
have got them; come on, come on, cried
Sanger. Thinking the lions were secure,
some friends descended, but they were
only caught up in corner bring up
those shutters; be quickr' was next
heard; and seeing such bravery shown
by Mr.. Sanger, they plucked up courage,
carried several shutters, and hemmed
them in. Then the cages from which they
had so recently broken being lowered,
the capture was easily effected. The
hunt was carried on in the most calm and
collected manner possible, and proved
beyond all doubt that there was not the
slightest fear on the part of Mr.. George
Sanger, the modern 1ion-hunter.

A Phenomenal Spring.

In April last David Manners, farmer
living in Kingwood Township, Hunter
don County, N. j., discovered spring
right alongside of another spring which
has been in existence about eighty years.
but has yielded no water, not even in
wet seasons, since the Pattenburg tun-
mel was made several years ago. Why
this spring should flow while the other
is dry battles the wisdom of the neigh
borhood. Just how water can flow
through the crevices of rock from the
mountain regions beyond Pattenburg to
the Delaware River adds to the mystery
of the spring. That which is most sur
prising respecting it, however, is the
fact that every time the moon changes,
whether there is rain or not, the spring
rises about eleven iuches, and then falls
again some four inches. This causes a
gain of seven inches with every change
of the moon, and the spring is therefore
growing rapidly. Already there are
signs OF a stream being formed, and the
course which it will take is clearly out
lined among the rocks and even down in
the meadow land. The question which
agitates the rural mind outside of the
phenomenon of the springs curious con-
duct is as to the result should a stream
of any size be formed. Blocked in bv
the hills, it would be apt % rush down
over the fields and destroy the rich farm
ing soil. A sagacious school teacher has
done some figuring regarding it, and has
come to the conclusion if the rise con-
tinues at its present rate and the stream
forms, as now seems likely, in three
years there win be a body of water pour
ing over the rocks large enough to cause
trouble, and that in six years the farm
houses will be washed away, unless
moved beforehand. These things are
not agreeable to contemplate, and David
Manners and his neighbors are seriously
discussing the taking of speedy meas
ures to prevent the prophetic food.

excitement if the water supply happens
to be little off-color, as it frequently is
after heavy storm. They get an idea
that the water is poisoned, and no
amount of reassuring win prove the re-
verse. Such cases occurred in New
York City once or twice during the late
war with the South, and they amounted
to almost a panic. In New York they
supposed the Croton water. which sup
plies the city, to have been poisoned by
Southerners. The absurdity lies in the
fact am about to state.
One-sixteenth grain of strychnine is
necessary to poison a person. That
each person might get that amount the
water of Croton Lake would have to re-
ceive three and one-half tons of strych-
nine. There is not so much in the
world, and it would take about three
years to procure it.
If arsenic were used, they must have
two grains for each person, and that
would require ia tons-a canal boat
load.
Before closing wish to call your at
tention to the following figures, which
show the amount of water used per head
in some large cities:

The Malone victory over what HI
calls the Bourbon Democrats Is heavily
handicapped with the odium of repudi
alton. Senator Malone and his Admin
istration hackers and apologists already
begin to feel the weight of this danger
GUS drawback upon the momentary vic
tory over honesty and decency in the
conduct of public affairs. Mr.. Mahonc's
triumph is not triumph in any just
sense. 1t comes much nearer being q
defeat than a victory even when consid.
cred in the light of purely political
success. 1t is the reaction that Mr.. Ma
hone has most to fear, and heIis already
devising ways and means to avert its
almost certain consequences by spread
ing a drag-net over the Southern States
and communities to find pretexts for
Reputation in his own.
For fifteen years it has been the bur-
den Of Republican SANDERS upon the
Southern people that they did not MAIN
tain their credit and take care of their
faith with those whose money they Dor
rowed. This song was sung for many
years to enable Republican managers to
hll their campaign purses with Northern
money to maintain their doubtful hold
on power. And what do we see now?
The whole strength of that power
welded in favor Of open and fragrant
reputation of one-half of the State debt
of Virginia that Mr.. Malone, who was
elected to the Senate on false pretense,
and determines its majority by patent
bargain and sale, may strike down the
men of real character in the State, who
propose to pay its honest obligations &C.
cording to the conditions stipulated in
the bond The question of victory or
defeat in Virginia is not yet fully an
swered. Fearing coming disaster, Mr..
Malone is even now throwing out lines
upon which he and his deluded follow
ing may sail into safe harbors because
he sees a coming storm. His first de-
mand is that the Republican party shall
change its name. Mr.. Malone is per-
fectly aware that he can never change
its character. In other words, the
champion of reputation in Virginia
openly confesses that the question of
victory or defeat will depend
entirely upon the action of the Republic
cans of the Northern States in calling
their next National Convention under
new name and new banner.-O Omaha

Judge Folger has commenced the
work Of publication is his own office by
turning out Lamphere, the Appoint
ment Clerk, long notorious as jobber,
and by sending adrift John Sherman's
private secretary, who had been be-
Jueathed as convenient legacy to his
successor. This is good beginning,
and it gives promise of other reforms
that are absolutely needed to break up
the corrupt ring which has heretofore
run the machinery of the Treasury.
The Assistant Secretaries and the
Chief Clerk. who hold the most conf
Dental relations to the head of the De-
partment. have been publicly charged
with collision in transactions that unfit
them for any responsible trust. In the
cases of Upton and Power especially,
the testimony in the Window investiga-
ton, which Mr.. Sherman caused to be
suppressed, reveals enough of completely
in the Custodian's venal dealings to ex-
clude them from confidence, and to
show that they were beneficiaries OF .
fraudulent system, organized to steal.
A new Secretary, without previous
training in the departments, has either
to be dependent for routine business
upon the officials whom he may find
around him, or he must grope his way
in comparative darkness until he learns
the methods and precedents. Between
these alternatives he generally chooses
the former as the more easy for himself.
and thus establishes relations difficult to
sunder afterward.
The result is that the Uptdns, Pow
ers, Lampheres, Pitneys and the like,
become fastened on the service, and are
the actual dispensers of large patron
age with which they never should have
been trusted. A sharp and unscrupu-
lous manager like John Sherman, who
had his own interests to serve, knew
how to utilize these instruments by al
lowing them free run in the Treasury.
They worked together tremendously,
and with reciprocal profit. They kept
each others secrets.
The surroundings of Judge Folger
must make him uncomfortable, and the
easiest mode of relief in the long run is
to get rid of them at once. He win be
compelled, sooner or later, to take that
course for self-protection, and hence he
cannot decide upon it too soon. Until
these chronic office-holders are dis
placed. the keys to fragrant abuses and
long hidden spoliation viii not be found.
BY the possession of power they have
exercised terrorism over subordinates
which would be overcome the day they
were turned out. Judge Folger has
only had short experience in the
Treasury, but his alert and astute mind
has already made important discoveries,
which will guide him in other inyestiga-
tons soon to be undertaken.
He has in his hands the opportunity
to unearth enormous frauds, and to ex-
pose the rascalities of Republicans who
