Didn't Wish to Interfere.

Charles James Fox, being once at Ascot
races with his intimate csmpanion, General
Conway, missed his snufl-box. The General
was lucky enough to discover the thief and
seize him before he could get away. Upon
this the man fell upon bis knees, and with
many tears besought Fox to pardon him and
not expose him to ruin, for he was poor
weaver In great destitstion, and this was the
first offensa against the laws that he had ever
committed. Fox was greatly affected, and
not only let the offendar 90, but gave him q
guinea. Shortly after this, having occasion
10 use his snuR-box, he found no sign of 1t

turning to General Conway, he said: "My

ROOM FOR YOUNG MEN.
TIE Suggestions of an Electrician In Regard
to the study of Electricity.
Y. Y, Sun,

". j. SuH,
"Wby do not some of the young men who
are crowding into the alieady overcrowded
professions of law and medicine and Journal
ism take up the study of electricity 7" said
London electrician and author of book on
electricity. ats the only profession not
overcrowded, because not half score OF
years ago the nature and powers Of electriei-
ty were not known and the extent OF Its ap-
plication to commerce was not dreamed OF.
Great fortunes are made in Europe In the
profession of telegraph engineering. The
Siemens brothers, who have residences In
Berlin, Tinis, st. Petersburg, aud London,
are worth 5000, ,oO0, all made In electrical
engineering. Such men as Sir William
Thompson, Latimer Clark, and Edison, who
would be called ,ventors here. are, speaking
more broadly Telegraph engineers. In Eu-
rope young men and even young women are
studying the science. Women are eminent
ly fitted for iss pursuit, as No physical labor
is required.
"There are only four schools in the world
for the study of the profession, one in Paris,
one in Japan, aud two in England. There
should be one in New York City. The
enormous extension oftelegraph, telephone,
electric light, and electric railway systems
which is to be witnessed before many years
in China and Japan, in Italy, Spain, Cuba,
Brazil, and especially in this country, will
demand skilled telegraph engineers, who
will become wealthy In few years. Ocean
cables will also be multiplied in all parts OF
the world. The skill required in finding the
place of a break in an ocean cable is possessed
by telegraph engineers. They find the
break with an instrument about as large a.
your hat. The time required for graduating
frem an electrical telegraph school Is from
two to four years, and close study OF elec'
tricity and mathematics Is required"

A few days ago the attention Of Keeper

called TO a great commotion in the lions
cage. ~ knew what was the matter" said
Mr.. Weiners. 81 went to the lions cage aud
there lay the liopess licking a pretty little
cub about minute old. She was as proud
as only such animals can be, hn as savage
as a meat ak. The old lion sat back on his
haunch.s in one corner looking very much
interested, but he knew better than 10 ven
ture near TO offer congratulations. She
would have scratched bis eyes out. Lions,
tigers and all these fesh-eatcrr are cnriutts
about that. The mother of cuts will not let
her lord near her or the young 10" weeks af-
ter their birth, for the reason, | suppose, that
he may eat them. They are apt to d" ii, es-

trouble this morning, / got The lion aud

in the adjoining cage, with dark compart-
ment for the cub. She went in the latter
place at once and was In there couple OF
hours, and think, from the variety of noises
this afternoon, there is more than one cub
now"
There certainly seemed to be, for The
cries that came tferefrom sounded like six
teen dozen cats on the roof.
Yesterday afternoon the lioness appeared
in her outer cage and seemed the pictur" I"

joining, watched for her growl and her steI
and seemed all curiosity and anxiety. Blu
when feeding time came he grabbed his four
teen pounds of meat and busted himsel
with 1t, apparently to the exclusion Of al
other thoughts. When the lioness got he
meat she carried 1t at once to the dark Gag
where her cubs lay.

Six serpents-one python, two cobras, and
three black snakes-arrived In the city from
Berlin Saturday afternoon. They were con-
signed to dealer in this city. Their attend
ants on board the vessel were incompetent,
and instead Of placing blankets in their cage
TO keep them warm, they simply cPrinkled
handful of hay under them. The floor Of
the cage became wet and the serpents froze.
They were lifted from the cage like walking
canes. They wsre sent to the superintend-
ent at Central Park. He was assured Of
their demise, and told the engineer TO place
them In the engine room to thaw them out,
so that he might procure their skins 70 stun
The engineer stood them up in warm cor

after they disappeared, and investigation

A Card to the Public,

A fraudulent and illegal lottery in Ken
lucky has recently paid into certain news
papers a statement as if made by the
Record, of Philadelphia, to the effect that
Generals Beauregard and Early, commits
sioners for the drawings of the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, had confessed in
recent interview that they only arranged
two drawings a year, and, furthermore,
that the prizes were paid to fictitious per-
sons.
The public is hereby advised that the
statement Is an utter forgery; that no
such interview occurred, nor did the Phil
adelphia Record ever state that it did &C.
cur. ECery drawing, monthly and semi
annual, of The Louisiana State Lottery
Company is under the sole control of Gen
erals Beauregard and Early, as they state
in every advertisement of The Company
over their own signatures, and that mil
lions of dollars have been paid in prizes
all over the country is matter Of general
nOtoriety.
The public will have fuller information,
both as to the character and motives Of
the illegal and fraudulent concern in this
monstrOus attack, as soon as the facts can
be put into form for the press.

what a Great Country!
From, Judge FOraker's Fourth Of July Speech
an ObfO


New York is rightfully termed an EN-
pire State. Her area is almost equal to
that of all England, and yet she has just
Al. 900 square miles, while Georgia has
$4,000. Nebraska $1,000, Kansas $1,000,
Minnesota 81, 900, Oregon $4,000, Colorado
and Nevada each 100000, Dakota 150, 900,
California 1SS, 900 and Texas 274,OOO square
miles of area, the last alone large enough
To swallow up the whole State of New
York almost six times over.
All this domain is practically lnhablta-
BILE, and as well adapted to the support OF
a population as any country ON the iace
of the earth. But for the whole OF these
vast regions we have now only about o.
600, 900 of people. This is scarcely more
than they have in Germany alone on an
area but little larger than that of Califor-
mia. When we thus learn by comparison
the capabilities of our country for growth
and population, and undertake to COM
pute what that growth means as regards
the development of our resources, the in
crease of our cities and the multiplication
of railroads and other business enterprises
and industries, we at once see how I'M
likely it is to exaggerate the probabilities
