Terrible Scene in a Menagerie.

A thrilling incident recently occurred in
travelling menagerie, at Towanda, Penn
sylvania, which is thus related by the local
paper: The animals in one cage, two lions
and tiger, were fed at that time, being sep
arated by swinging doors, which were fas-
tened during the feeding, and afterwards
lifted, throwing the animals together as a
happy family. These doors were lifted after
it was supposed the animals had finished
their meal; but large piece of meat had
been left by the lioness. This the tiger saw
and was about to spring upon it, when the
lion covered it with his paw. Professor
Mcdonald, the trainer, spoke to the lion, but
he refused to move, and he then tried to
force the meat from the animals paws with
the feeding fork, but without purpose, as
the lion held on and growled in defiance.
To the horror of those standing around, the
professor opened the door of the cage and
sprang almost upon the beast, which in turn
sprang upon the man, striking him fear
full blow on the chest, that staggered him
and lacerated the flesh. An attendant,
thinking to assist the now powerless trainer,
caught him by the foot and pulled him near
the door. The lion again struck him, tear
ing the flesh in his thigh. The situation at
this time was one of terrible suspense to
those who were involuntary witnesses of it,
Ladies tainted, children screamed but the
trainer, who seemed to suddenly recover his
senses, was on his feet in moment He
looked at the big beast squarely in the eyes
and met him half way, maintaining the
steady gaze. He said in firm yet affection
ate manner, "Ned, what are you doing ?
do you want to kill me, your best friend ?"
The Towanda paper says it really seemed

word that was being said to him for, drop

and showed it to his keeper. He then ap-

Wealth Of Utah Gentiles.

From the fact that the Gentiles gave
Campbell less than l,400 votes in 1880 has
sprung the idea in many quarters that they
are an exceeding small minority in Utah.
Comparison of the Mormon Conference re-
turns of their population in April, 1880,
with those Of the census in June following
shows that there were $4,000 souls in the
territory not claimed as Mormons. Were
these people in the habit Of political activity
they ought to cast, on the ordinary voting
basis, 5000 votes. 1t will be seen that the
proportion Of Gentiles To Mormons in Utah,
according to perfectly reliable statistics
(the population in Utah having been, in
round numbers, $4,000 in June, 1SS0), is
as one to three and half. Considering the
subject as to property, more than half Of the
valuable property of Utah, including mines
and railroads, belongs TO Gentiles. There
are some eight hundred miles of railroad
chiefly owned by Gentiles, worth at least
SlO,O00,OOO; there is Gentle money invested
in trade, in stock, in merchandise and in
residences equal, probably, to $l0,O00,0 900 !;
the mines have turned out an average of 80, :
100000 year for ten years, which is six
per cent on Sl00,000,000, as any one can see.
The Gentiles harvested and procured to be
invested in churches, schools, hospitals and
public and private charitable associations,
within about one decade, 100000 in round
numbers, and they are paying and procuring
to be paid about $4,000 year to keep
these institutions going.-Sdh Lake Tribune.

The Contest In Kansas.

The liquor dealers, brewers and distill-
ers, especially in New York, are combining
against the temperance cause in Kansas.
They want TO carry the state election the
coming fall, and thus reverse the present
policy of the state in regard TO this question.
If prohibition does not prohibit, why all this
effort : If more liquor is drunk under pro-
hibition, why does the liquor interest fight
against it 2 Below is an extract from an
article in the Signal: EVERY week is add
ing TO the evidence that prohibition in Kan
sas is grand success. The Capitol, in re-
cent editorial on the working of the law,
took the ground that, on the whole, the law
is as well enforced as the laws against other
crimes, and cites Fort Scott as an instance
In that city there have been eighteen prose-
cutions and seventeen convictions. Fines to
the amount of more than 81 900 have been
paid, and several of the criminals are in jail
When we remember that this occurred in
one of the few counties that gave over eight
hundred majority against the constitutional
amendment, we may well be encouraged.

Willie, the Widows Son.

Memories of other days often come to us
when visiting the White House. Leaving
distant city with friend for the capital,
during the war, poor widow, whose only
son, a soldier boy, had been sentenced to be
shot, put into our hands petition to be
presented to President Lincoln asking a stay
of execution. No time was to be lost.
Thirty-six hours after our arrival, Willie in
the army of the Cumberland, Willie the
widows only son was to be shot. Rosecrans
had that day been driven back from Chatta-
nooga, our army had suffered defeat, and
the president and Stanton had been closeted
all day in consultation at the war office.
The day wore on and night came with its
sombre shades, and that poor boy and the
lonely widow were continually before us.
Still eagerly striving to reach the president,
we visited the White House about nine
o'clock and while walking through the
grounds we were met by long, dark figure
with shoulders stopping, hands behind him
in deep and thoughtful meditation. We
said, "Excuse us, Mr.. President, a soldier
boy, a widows son, is to be shot tomorrow,
at three o'clock. "Where 2" said he with
earnestness. We replied, In the army of

and drunkenness among women are fear
fully common. DR.. Duncan says that he
could count twenty such cases, first and

women living in fashionable hotels and
boarding-houses are in a shocking number
inebriates. In many cases they have com
pletely broken up their homes and gone
headlong TO ruin. He attributed it to late
suppers, indigestion and idleness, and says
that it is almost impossible to treat such an
