Peoria Call.
In a very elegant palace car entered a
weary.faced poorly dressed woman with
three little children-one babe in her
arms A look Of Joy crept into her face as
she settled down into one Of the luxurious
chairs, but it was quickly dispelled as she
was asked rudely TO start her boots" A
smile Of amusement was seen on several
faces as the group hurried out to enter one
OF the common cars. Upon one face, how
ever, there was a look which shamed the
countenauCe OF the others: sAuntie," said
the boy 10 the lady beside him, II am
going to carry my basket Of fruit and this
box OF sandwiches to the poor woman in
the next car. You are willing, OF course"
He spoke eagerly, but she answered:
Don't be foolish, dear, you may need
them yourself, and perhaps the woman is
he answered decidedly, but in a very low
tone. "You know had hearty breakfast,
and don't need lunch, The woman
looked hungry, auntie, and so tired, too,
with those three little babies clinging to
her. I'll be back in minute, auntie; ]
know mother wouldn't like it if didn't
speak kind word to the least Of these
when ! meet them" The worldly aunt
brushed tear from her eye after the boy
left her, and said, audibly: "Just like his
dear mother" About five minutes
later, as the lady passed the mother
and the three children, she saw a
pretty sight-the family feasting as per
haps they had never done before; the dainty
sandwiches were eaten, the fruit basket
stood open. The eldest child, with ner
mouth filed with bread and butter said
"Was the pretty boy an angel, mammal"
mo" answered her mother, and u grateful
look frightened her faded eyes; "but he
he is doing angels work, bless his dear
heart" And we, too, said, "Bless his dear

"Mr. G. A. Courtney, proprietor and
manager OF the geological circus, wrote
faom San Domingo, W. l., September 10,
as follows: Last night at 10 o'clock the
well known lion tanner, Herr Elija hLengel,
Of Philadelphia, Pa, entered the den Of
Brazilian tigers attached to this circus, and
had nearly concluded his performance
with them when he made false step, and
one OF the tigers caught him by the head
and neck, and in less than five seconds he
was torn to pieces. His jugular vein was
cut, his ear on the right side completely
eaten of, and his body was mass
OF mangled flesh and bones. The tent
was densely packed with people, and
the scene that followed it is impossible to
describe. The guard and also q few pri.
vate individuals commenced firing with re-
volvers and rifles at the tiger, and soon
killed it, thereby enabling the attaches to
drag the body OF l.engel through the com.
partment, The remaining living tiger at
once fell upon the dead animal in presence
OF the audience and tore 1t into fragments.
No pen can describe the horror Of the
scene. MIR. Lengels remains were buried
next day at o'clock, and were followed to
large coneourse OF citizens, who manifest.

misfortune"

"No sir. Three years ago in St. Louis
during the night the lions dragged per.
forming leopard through the bars and de-
youred It. When went to the cage next
morning, Sunday, all that remained OF the
creature was its head and one leg. That
leopard was pet and good performer,
which drew the people, and when told
Mr.. Cole he said, We'll, George,
can you do anything with any Of the
other leopards? l told him I'd try, and
that afternoon l took great animal and
worked with her forsome time. Iguess /

MATTHEW ARNOLD thinks that such Is the
haste of the American people to get news
that everything which the newspapers
afford them is 'fragmentary." This may
be true in certain sense, but it is certain
y an improvement over the English sys-
ten, in which little news and long essays
for editorials constitute the rule It may
have cultivating effect on the English
public, but the American newspaper pat
ron, in reading the editorial comment on
an occurrence, does not care to know what
the ancient Greeks did under somewhat
similar circumstances, or what Herodotus
had to say when called on to express an
opinion. The English editor undertakes
to think for his readers; the American
editor gives his patrons all the news SO
that they may have the data for the fornla-
ton of an intelligent conclusion.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Paddy Ryan who was
expected to meet Sullivan in San Fran
cisco next month, left for Toledo unex-
pecsedly, two days ago, and late last night
telegraphed here, 81 have to throw up
everything at present" Ryan assigned as
q cause that his mother was very sick.
Parson Davies who is managing Ryan's
affairs, had arranged for Paddy's appear
ance in Minneapolis, st. Paul and points
on the Northern Pacific road, in
sparring exhibitions on the way to San
Francisco. On receipt of Ryan'a
to telegram Davies wired him
the effect that his friends believed he
was showing the white. feather and was
afraid to meet Sullivan. Ryan replied,
he would return to Chicago to-day, and
later telegraphed that everything was of
including the meeting with Sullivan.
A Toledo telegram says, Ryan's mother is
not seriously i'll. and that Ryan in his re-
cent friendly bouts with Sheriff and Slade
has shown that they were better men, and
he has no show with Sullivan, and oonse-
quently he does not care to meet him. An
effort is still to be made to keep the SulIi-
van match on.
