Done Quickly.

The tiger is such an object of dread
that even a dead one will not be touched
by the vultures, so long as the skin re-
mains on it. But the moment the huge
cat is skinned, these scavengers, feeling
assured that it is dead, begin to eat the
carcass. They work with great rapidity,
as may be seen from the following de-
scription of one of their banquets,
written by a sportsman in India; the
tiger was unloaded from the elephants
back in the center of little clearing in
the forest, and the usual business of
SHINING was proceeded with. As I
stood watching, I noticed even more
than the usual number of great vultures
assembling on the surrounding trees,
anxiously waiting for the banquet, which
experience told them would soon be
theirs. Directly the carcass, stripped
of it's skin and therefore no longer an
object Of terror, WAS; left, they all de-
scended upon it in q cloud, and nothing
could be seen but a large heaving mass
of feathers, round which two jackals
kept trotting humbly, and wagging
their little short tails.

Mr.. Blaine Receives a Delegation Of
Clergymen.

A delegation Of Methodist clergymen, num-
bering over one hundred, and headed by Bishop
King, of Brooklyn, waited on MI Blaine at hts
hotel in New York City. MI. Blaine had no
at the visit. The delegation represented in the
aggregate about $1,000 people. and through
Bishop King the members declared that the
call was the result of deliberate consultation.
They had examined, he said, into every one Of
the charges made AGAINST Mr. Blaine. and they
had discovered absolutely, nothing to shake
their confidence in him. At the same time they
had come to the conclusion that every man
who was an advocate Of pure morals and decent
life should support his candidacy. Mr.. Blaine
cordially thanked his visitors for their express
sion Of confidence. The incident gives great
satisfaction to the Republican leaders, and 10
particularly significant in view Of the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher's declaration in favor Of
Cleveland, which is numerically ridiculed by
secular people and universally condemned BY
religious men. It will but serve to keep the

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
Mr.. Blaine Has No Connection with the
Hooking Valley Syndicate.
cleveland CO., speciall

A few days ago dispatches, based upon Co.
lumbus communication to an evening paper
here, were sent over the country detailing the
alleged connection Of Mr.. Blaine with the coal
syndicate now at war with the miners Of the
Hooking Valley. Judge 9. Burke, Vice-Presi-
dent Of the Bee Line and Columbus and Hook
i Valley Railways. and a large owner Of min
ing property in the valley, said to-day: AS to
Blaine's connection with the Hooking
It: III tell you how the Blaine story originated.
The Standard Coal and Iron Company was
organized by q man named Lee, of Newark, not
Norwalk, as has been published. It had a capt.
tai of ST., 900, which was subsequently reduced
to $4,000. It issued bonds on some coal lands
on which there were already liens, and the syn
dictate borrowed some money of Mr.. Blaine,
giving as security some of these bonds The
company went to pieces more than two years
ago, blew It's iron furnaces out, closed It's coal
mines, and ceased business. It has not shipped
a pound OF coal in two years Recently an
effort to reorRanize it was made, and I believe
they have tried to start up again, but men hold
ing the class of securities which Mr.. Blaine had
were left ont entirely, and Blaine lost every dol
lar he loaned on the bonds Gov. Foster is
similarly situated and owns no interest in the

A College of Beggary.

An effort to check begging recently
made in Liverpool brought to light a
college of beggary in which pupils of
a]lages were taughtto pursue the art in g
scientific way. The proprietor was q
member of the profession" and mad
amassed considerable fortune. The
school was we'll attended, many young
children especially being sent there by
their parents, who were chiefly Of the
criminal class. Many of the pupils pa
rents not being able to pay for the tu-
ition of their children, the professor
appropriated the clothing and money
brought in by his students until he was
recompensed for his services.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of it's fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state Of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dischargng great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
R1LLA, which allayed the pain and Irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

Cleveland Played Out in New York,

New York Sun Dem.): It Is now tolerably
clear that there Is no chance of Grover Cleve-
lands election to the Presidency. He cannot
carry New York. he will be beaten in this
State by majority of not less than $4,000. in
spite of every exertion that may be made be-
tween now and election day.
Why, then. should genuine Democrats any
longer think Of tying themselves up to such o
hopeless candidacy? 1t was mistake from the
first. We warned its authors before the nomt-
nation at Chicago that they were engaged in an
enterprise which was doomed to disaster, and
this doom is now so plainly apparent that only
the blind can fail to see it.
But there is Democratic candidate in the
field for whom men may vote with earnest good
will and a hope for the future We refer to the
candidate of the Peoples Democratic party,
Gen. Butler. In this State the real contest Is
between him and Mr.. Blaine; and if all the free
minded Democrats who have hitherto been dis
posed to support Cleveland; on the possibility
will now abandon him and vote for Butler, the
strength of the Peoples Democratic party will
thereby rapidly become great and formidable,
so that it may even exceed the strength OF
Blaine.
It would be great thing to beat Blaine here
in New York. Butler only can do it.
