Wild Beasts Photographed,
st. James Gazette.

An enterprlsing Partisan photo
grapher, NJ A. Petit, visited Planets
menagerie a day or two ago, with the
object of taking photographs of the
wild beasts in their cages. The exist
ing photographs of these animals,
taken as they are from the space out
side the case, necessarily show the
bars, which spoil the effect. NJ. PAIN
ct, the proprietor of the menagerie,
accompanied the artist III his adven
turous round; and the animals, as a
rule, behaved very welt A splendid
group, consisting of lion, a lioness,
and two cubs, was particularly sue
cessful, the .'sitters' not moving a
muscle during the operation. The
leopard, too, proved an excellent sub
ject The tigress, however, exhibited
a specimen of her temper in two vigor-
Gus dashes on the Photographic ap-
paratus, III one of which NJ. Petit re-
ceived savage blow of her paw on
the leg. This a French paper states,
is the first time that wild beasts have
been photographed in their dens; and
it is believed that the results of M.
Petit's dangerous experiment will be
of considerable service to animal
painters and sculptors.

RUNS HIS DEPARTMENT.

Judge Gresham Sizes Up Hatton.
WASHINGTON, Oct. at has been
the impression here for some time
that considerable friction existed be-
tween the postmaster general and his
two assistants The policy of Mr..
Frank Hatton has seriously sontiicted
with the material reforms proposed by
Gen. Gresham. Under Hatton the
lottery companies felt secure, along
with every other swindling scheme
that depended upon the mails for eN-
istence Indeed, it has been current
gossip here that he went even
further than iuaction He was III
close league with political bosses like
Chauncey T. Filley and Senator Ma
hone When Judge Gresham came
into office, he came into control of the
department Gresham had sized Hat
ton up, and the latter was gradually
relegated to his properly subordinate
sphere The lottery question was al
most immediately removed from his
protection, and Mr. Filley and Mr..
Malone suddenly found themselves
without intlaence i'll the postotfice
department.. Another name than
Hatton was selected after which
to name new postotlices, and
in various other ways Hattou
vas made to feel the hardness of a
| back seat. Since then rumors of his
contemplated resignation have been
freely repeated. His friends are IN
clined to resent these rumors. They
know Hatton, and declare he has no
idea of resigning unless he can get
something better. The case of Second
Assistant Elmer is different Elmer
is a wealthy man, and took the office
merely as the means of political
advancement. This he has not real
lied. Hand in glove with Hatton,
there was fair chance for him.
Elmer expected great things from the
reformation of star route abuses, but
James scooped all the honor and left
his assistant disgusted man. Ores
hams advent especially turned Ell
mers cake into dough. Since Gresham
has come into power Elmer had paid
! little attention to the duties of his of

months he has not been at his desk
more than one-third of the time, being

This is midwinter in Australia,
writes a correspondent from Sydney
under date of Aug 8, if winter it can
be called, where snow is never seen
and ice curiosity. The climate of
Australia is as near perfection as can
be imagined In summer the ther
mometer sometimes rises to 80 degrees,
or even 100 degrees Fair, but the at
mosphere is SO dry that it is never op-
pressive. The only disagreeable fea-
lures to be encountered are the hot
winds, which sometimes blow from
the interior. These winds seldom
blow but few hours at tizne. and
then suddenly the winds blow from
the opposite quarter, causing what IS
here known as ''southerly burster. y
This is almost invariably followed by
rain, and then there are many days of
delightful weather. No one ever com

q long drought, which withers vegeta-
