LEOPARD AND DOGS.
beigravia.

The leopard is dangerous antagonist, but. as rule, 1t does not aspire to larger victims than sheep and goats, the smaller varieties of deer and antelope, calves, and, above all. dogs. Now the poets, as Broome and Somerville, seem 10 think the leopard looks upon the dog as its na- iural master and csnqueror, whereas the fact is that the leopard looks upon the dog as its natural food. The leopard's taste for dog is certainly one of the most extraordinary phenomena in natural his- tory. We say that cats like fish and that monkeys are fond of nuts, bu, these are mere passing whims, caprices of the mo- ment, compared to the constant passion of leopards for dogs It IS very China man for its delight in puppy, for ii will follow a man for miles like his shadow if dog be at his heels, and it will be very extraordinary dog indeed if il does not at last give the leopard its chance. The
 best of dogs sometimes commit the in- discretion of loitering behind its master or running out of sight round corner in front of him, and If he ooes this with a leopard on his track. nothing more is ever seen of the dog. and nothing more heard
 of him but his last squeAl as he is swiftly snatehed up o:t the path and carried with sudden rustic of the foliage, down the hillside. Al night. leopards will prowl round the tent, snitfing under the canvas for the dog that they can smell within, or, in the hill stations, will boldly come down among the houses and carry of the pet of the establishment. though servants may be moving about. It is on record that in the station of Gumsoor not a single dog escaped, and nearly every resident of ln- dia who has ever eamped out in the jun gle where leopards are, or has lived in the hills has had some tragic experi- ence of this mania ofthe leopard for dogs. In about the same degree, but obviously for very different reasons, the monkey takes the most profound interest in the leopard, and when one is afoot. the four handed folk follow him as closely as they dare. shaking the branches in their ab- surd rage. cha,terlng furiously at their enemy, and making faces at him. Some times. however. the leopard stops ab- ruptly and glares at them. and the wretched monkeys. gathering overhead, get so excited m their demonstrations that very often one of their number IS pretty sure 10 lose its balance nj tumble conveniently in.o the leopard's mouth. A tradition was once widely current that the panther was sweetfy scented-says Dryden "The partners breath was ever famed for sweet and that this fragrance was so fascinating to some small animals that Il enticed them to their death in the jaws of inc aromafir heaSf |, ,s fart however, that the panther itself Is, peeu- liarly sensitive to perfumes. and among other instances is one of undeniable au- thentlcity of panther being tanned with lavender water.

Where He Gained.
Wal Stree, News.

Twenty years ago there was an old farmer living about 100 miles from New York. who took forty pounds of dried apples to the village merchant. and was told that the price was four cents per pound. "lll be darned if submit to this extortion any longer. he exclaimed why, they are quoted in Horace Gree ley's paper at seven cents ..'' Hadn't you better take 'em to New York;" "rll be kicked if don't" And he did. And when he came home and figured up he said to his wife: Well. Hammer, i, cos, me sS to come and go. !, tavern bill and maybe little extra for tobacco" |" Then you lost by the trip:" "Yes, kinder los, in one way, but in another got my tea for four cents pound less than Jackson sells it, and 1 tell you four cents don't grow on every thistle.''

Fa, men resolutely .ben, on bringing down thelr weight should read the report of Dr. Nulplan on the causes of the di- gestive disturbance which was the origin of the nalady to which the Comte de Chambord sucoumbed. The count. Il must be remembered, was in his early days thrown from horse; with the two fold result oi iaming hum and destroying his nerve. He was unable m eonse- quence either to walk or to ride: and having exhibited a taste and even d pas sion tor hunting, he caused rides 10 be cut Tn the forest of trohsdorf. along which, driven Tn carriage, he was acous- toned to pursue his game. This. during the las, tew years of his life. was the only form Tn which he took exercise and as natural consequence he became inordi- na,ely stout. He had recourse to Ban tinsism. and the dietary system he adopted had the effect as he frs, and py. Nu'pian afterwards believed - of bringing ahoui the condition of stomach which at last killed him Some four or nse years ago" says Dr. Nulpian re- port the count, urged by a desire 10 di- min,sh his stoutnesS. submitted himself 10 the Baniing system Tn all it's rgor, and Tn a few months had lost nearly fifty pounds othis weigh;. This rapid emacia- ton had produced weakness and at the same time perhaps digestive troubles, and several people have told me tha: that was the case and have even traced 10 the same date the hrst attacks of the ma lady." The immediate effects ot severe Cunningham seem to have passed of. but later on the count was twice attacked by acute indigestion and was obliged to sub feet himself 10 severe treatment on each occasion.

Governor Foster, the mouth-piece of
the Republican party in Ohio, approves
the acquittal Of the Star Route conspir-
atOrs, and denounees the prosecution by
the Government as "disgraceful." /"
Here Is what Foster says, as reported in
the New York Tribune:
~ think the verdict gives general sat
isfactiOn. There is feeling that the
Government has used dishonOrable
means 10 try to convict the defendants
Outside of the evidence of Rerdell and
Walsh, don't think the Government
proved its case. 1 don't know Walsh,
but from friends of mine who do know
him am led TO believe his evidence
worthless, and no conscientious jury
would give credence to Rerdell. Then
following the defendants with low de-
tectives was poor business for the Gov
ernment to be in. / know Brady very
well, and / always regarded him as a
man of force and character"
Notwithstanding the fact that the Re
publican State Convention indorsed Ar
thurs administration, Governor Foster
denounces that same administration as
being guilty of Glow" and "dishonora-
BILE" conduct in its prosecution of Re-
publican plunderers and thieves. Is it
not clear that the prosecution was a
fraud and farce of the boldest type?--

interest to many of our farmer friends.
"The last Legislature amended the law

CATION to build and maintain the same

to the trustees of the township in which
such premises or fences is situated, who,
on application, shall, after not less than
ten days written notice to all parties
interested in the title or possession of
the premises, or the construction or re-
pair of the fence, proceed to view the
fence or premises where the fence is to
be built, and assign in writing his equal
share thereof, to be by him constructed
or kept in repair so as to be in all re-
spects good and substantial fence; the
assignment shall also specify the time
within which fence and each of its parts

MCGEoCH, the Scotchman, of the
Chicago speculative markets, has failed.
He loses over S1,0O0,OOO. The failure
causes much excitement in the markets
of all the large cities where provisions
are handled. Lard sold down from $l1
II to S8 80. McGeoch had been heavy
buyer of lard for a long time, and his
buying kept prices up. McGeoch's first
big deal was during the yellow fever
panic in 1880, when he cornered pork
and made S1,0OO,O0O.

To the Sabbath breaking saloon busi-

the Sunday law is law of a general

WHEN any democratic state chances
to have large debt, no matter if it has
been contracted on account of the
frauds of the republican carpet-bag
thieves, republican papers never tire of
parading it, but Texas, the banner DEM
ocratic state, is a fearful example they
do not refer to. In Texas there are 600
miles of railway lines, growing two
miles daily. Tax is 80 cents on each
$1,000. There are $4, 25O,OOO in the State
treasury. State bonds are worth 40 per
cent. premium, and the debt of the
state was reduced by that rare old gen.
ius, Gov. Roberts, who does not believe
in political thanksgiving days, 81 100000
last year, leaving a balance of Texas
bonds outstanding, and held mainly by
Texas schools and institutions of learn
ing, of S1,0OO,O0O per cents. The
states taxable wealth has grown from
$3.50, 100000 in 1877 to $410,0OO,OO0 in
1882. The free school fund will soon be
$6,361 900. More than million dollars
were dispensed last year among free
schools attended by 265,OOO pupils. A
white and .colored normal school pro-
vide homemade teachers. The Uni
versity of Texas has 100000 acres of
choice land, and there is engrafted in
the constitution of Texas provision
enabling poor man to invest $4,000 in
real estate and making it his home
stead. 1t cannot be mortgaged or sold
for debt, and only conveyed absolutely
by the joint deed of man and wife.

The Bryan Press uttered these three
whoppers last week:
Foraker's majority in Hamilton county will be TO-.
600. The Republican State ticket gives universal
satisfaction. The Republicans are in favor Of pro-
tecting American labor.
1t knows full well that Foraker will
not get majority in Hamilton county,
that the ticket does not give universal
satisfaction, and that the Republican
party never did favor for the poor
laborer. 1t is conceded upon every
hand that the Democrats will carry
Hamilton county, that the Republicans
are badly demoralized, and that the
Republican party has favored monopo-
lies and corporations to the detriment
Of the laborer, continually passing acts
to make the. rich richer and the poor
poorer.

REDUCING the rate of the tobacco tax
does not lessen the labor of watching,
collecting and accounting. The aboli-
ton of the stamp tax on matches, bank
checks, and proprietary medicines,
makes but a trifling difference in the
amount of the labor in each collecting
district. The proposal to abolish thirty
revenue districts by consolidation is q
plain recognition that the number of
collectors has been unnecessarily large
for as much as fifteen years. The abo-
ition Of thirty districts now confesses
that they were unnecessary during all
these years.-NeaUs Journal.
