A Wounded Lion.

. A very dramatic narrative of an en-
counter with lion is published by an
Algerian paper. 1t appears that for
months past farmers residing near q
forest in the African colony have been
victimized by the lion, which carried
off their cattle, and especially evinced
a Partially for their sheen. Exaspera-
ted by the gaps made in their small
focks, it was determined to make war
on the depredator, and seventeen set
tiers, with five or six Arabs, set out on
what proved very perilous adventure.
They took up their positions in parties
of four and five, at certain spots in the
forest which it was conjectured the
animal would pass, and toward night
fall the enemy was seen coming leis-
urely along by one of these parties,
numbering five men. After consulting
together it was decided that they
should fire simultaneously, and at a
given signal they did so, the lion being
seen to fall, uttering tremendous
roar OF pain. He was not dead, how
ever, as the men too quickly imagined,
and when they approached the animal
he rose to his feet, crushed one of the
assailants with blow of his powerful
paw, and Selling the head of his victim,
smashed it at bite. Turning from the
mangled remains, the brute next at.
tackled another man, biting off his arm
and otherwise injuring him. Two
other members of the party were also
grievously torn and bitten by the en-.
ragged animal, and might have lost
their lives in the terrible encounter had
not their uninjured comrade levelled
his gun at the lions ear and beer
lucky enough to stretch him out on the
ground dead.

A Mournful Prophecy of Woes.

Professor Grimmer, in a pamphlet
published in 1879, predicted seven
years of disaster and famine, beginning
with 1880 and ending with 1887, 'durin g
which the world will be hell of strife
and carnage. He said:
From 1880 to 1887 will be one uni
versal carnival of death. Asia will be
depopulated, Europe nearly so. Ameri-
ca will lose 100000 of her people
Beside plague, we are to have storms
and tidal waves, mountains are to toss
their heads through the choicest val
leys, navigators will be lost by the
thousands owing to the capricious
deflexures of the magnetic needle, and
islands will appear and disappear in the
ocean. All the beasts, birds and fishes
will be diseased, famine and civil strife
will destroy most of the human beings
left alive by plague, and finally 1.-TWO
years of tire''-18S5 to 1SS7-will rage
with fury in every part of the globe
In 1887 the ''Star of Bethlehem" will
"reappear in Cassiopia's Chair" the
immediate results being universal war
and portentous floods and shipwrecks.
North America is to be again involved
in civil war unless a Napoleon"
arises to quell it. but during these terri
BILE days the Pacific States will be a
veritable paradise of peace, compared
to the helliSh strife that will be waged
throughout the world. The people
that may manage to survive till 1887
will have reason to be thankful.

Madame Mohl and the Empire.

Madame's Mohrs detestation Of the
Empire and all connected with it was
marked by her habitual exaggeration in
loving and hating. Anything that ex.
posed the iniduities of the regime and
its 'suppots de Sata,,"-her generic
term for every functionary in the I'm.
perial service. from the prime minister
down to the exciseman-anything that
threw odium or ridicule on "Celui-ci,"
was welcome to her as flowers in May.
One Friday evening, at the Rue du
Bac, M. Guizot came in, and related
the following story that he had just
heard:
A relation of the Duchesse de R
had married one of those "suppots de
Satan" and had further degraded her
self by living under the roof with Celui,
CT. The unhappy lady had become
from that time forth, naturally, as one
dead to her kith and kin in the noble
Faubourg. But she was now i'll, dy-
ing, it was believed, and it was a fit
occasion for the exercise of mercy. The
family therefore resolved to send her to
judgment absolved at least by the Eau.
bourg St. German. The duchess her.
self generously volunteered to take this
message or pardon to her dying rela.
tive. She ordered her carriage, and
said to the footman, ''Aux Tuileriesn
The man stared, but carried the order
to the coachman; whereupon that
venerable functionary. who had driven
three generations of Rs, got down
from his seat, and, presenting himself
at the carriage window, said, MADAME
la Duchesse, l cannot have the honor
of conducting your grace to the Tuile-
ries; my horses do not know the way
there"
Madame Mohl clapped her hands in
delight, e{claiming, "And the duchess
kissed the old coachman?"
No" said NJ. Guizot, "but she
got out of her carriage, and sent for q
cab"
Madame Mohl lived on this story for
week, and so did her friends.
"The present state of things makes
me so sick" She writes to Madame
Scherer, apropos of the Empire, THAT
| can hardly digest my victuals. /
should not eat at all if l thought much
about it, so l think of something else,
and read travels in South America. ~

Capt. Kidd's Treasure.

Mrs. Mary Cleaves. a bright-eyed,
dark-haired, chatty little woman of
middle age, writes a Portland, Me-,
correspondent of The st. Louis Globe
Democrat, recently resumed her labor
of searching for the hidden treasure of
Oversee. She believes the gold of Capt.
Kidd is on Oversee island, and that she
is about to find it. Her work, which
commenced some months ago, was in
terrupted by the winter SHOWS. She

There is a diversity of opinion as to
whether young George Gould will keep
the Gould possessions together or not.
Thus far he has not fulfilled all the
fond desires of his distinguished
parent. He has not much of head
for finance or surplus of aptitude for
speculation. To be good speculator
requires much sagscity. He enjoys the
theaters ven much, and likes to slip in
behind the scenes among the pretty
chorus of ballet girls, and his head
aches. quite frequently next day during
business hours. Nevertheless, MIR.
Gould is making every effort to make a
business man of him, and be ought to
succeed.

When Advertising is Wanted.

There's nothing on earth so mysteri-
ously funny as a newspaper advertise
ment. The prime, first. last, and all
to draw custom. 1t is not, was not
and never will be designed for any
other human purpose. So the mer-
chant waits till the busy season and his
store is so full of customers that he
can't get his hat of, and then he rushes
to the newspapers and puts in his adj
vertisement. When the dull season
gets along, and there is no trade, and
he wants to sell goods so bad he can't
pay his rent, he takes out his advertise
ment. That is, some of them do, but
occasionally a level-headed merchant
puts in a bigger one and scoops all the
business, while his neighbors are max
ing mortgages to pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything in
the store if you planted a cannon be-
hind the door, and that's the time the
advertisement is sent in on its holy
mission. 1t makes light work for the
advertisement, for chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was needed
and have half holiday six days in the
week, but who wants to favor an adj
vertisement? They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in the
dull days when customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts and
kicked insensible with bankrupt reduc-
tions and prices before he will spend a
cent. That's the aim and end of an
advertisement, and if you ever open a
store, don't try to get them to come
when they are already sticking out Of
the windows, but give them your adj
vertisement right between the eyes in
the dull season, and you will wax rich
and own fast horse, and perhaps be
able to smoke good cigar once or
twice week. Write this down where
you'll fall over it every day. The time
to draw business is when you want
business, and not when you have more
business than you can attend to already.

CathOlfcfty of Taste,

When we come to the higher walks
of the drama catholicity of taste is still
a prime requisite of good criticism. If
I have private partially for five-act
tragedies in blank verse-this thank
heaven, is a mere hypothesis-let me
not therefore sheer at stirring melo-
drama and pooh-pooh cup-and-saucer
comedy. The critic must always start,
indeed, from his own Individual inn
pressions. To like and dislike wildly
and heartily is his first qualification.
He must not be always posturing in his
judgments, and considering what he
ought to like rather than what he does
like; but neither must he make fetiches
of his fads and sacrifice everything to
them. Let him always dwell on the
merits rather than the defects of earn
est effort, however imperfect. Let him
not be imposed upon by pretentious
claptrap, but stand mistaken and I'M
awed amid papiermache earthquakes
and avalanches of blank verse, main
tanning, as Emerson says, ''that a pop
gun is popgun, though the ancient
and honorable of this world affirm it to
be the crack of DOOM" When his
judgment is at variance with that Of
the majority let him give full weight to
the popular verdict. and tell how the
piece pleased the gods though it dis
pleased Cato-or vice versa. Let him
avoid, as far as possible. critical COM
monplaces, such as "the idea is not
strikingly original" 1.-The characters
are either lay figures or caricatures,"
and so forth. Such remarks may be
taken for granted in the vast majority
of cases. What we demand of play
wright is not to tell an absolutely new
story, but to tell his old story freshly
and well. If, by chance, he does hit
on a novel theme or draw a character
with keen and just observation, let US
point it out as striking merit instead
of sneering at him, in other cases, for s
defect which, in these days, is almost
inseparable from the conditions under
which he works. Above all things, let
us in this sphere keep our moral judg-
ment on the alert. The. no-ideals Of
irresponsible farce are much less- in
furious than the false ideals of would
be moral comedy and drama. An IN
due concession to narrow prejudice or
cowardly convention should be I'M
sparingly denounced because it is in
sidiously and subtly destructive.-The
Nineteenth Century.

lustration how men may deceive themselves.
Why, II Saul had stopped to consider this
matter, if he had looked at the entire subject
calmly and carefully, he would have seen
that he was playing the fool long before this,
and how much unhappiness how much folly,
how much crime, lie would have spared him
self See that we do not make similar
mistake. Let us know ourselves. Let a
man examine himself He ought to inspect
his motives he ought TO look narrowly at
his character ard deeds. "I.et no man de
ceive himself says the apostle, but he will
deceive himself, unless he now and then
turn his eye within. Some years ago, I had
little business with a gentleman in the town
in which lived, and in the course Of con-
versation to my surprise he remarked, seri-
ouslv, 'Well, one thing, whatever faults
have, I never get angry" It was the very
thing that he did do he was such son Of
Beiial in that respect, that you had to be as
careful in his presence as if i'll magazine Of
powder. Yet he was as innocent of know
ledge of this as a babe.
We also see what trial can do for man.
The prosecuted David was driven by his
nearer to God Many of his psalms were
written in this period OF his distress, and
they show what were the feelings of his
heart, how his soul went up in trustthe more
they ragged against him. From the depth OF
suffering and distress, he rises to the Hottest
heights of song, and shall we too not cling
to Him? We cannot write psalms, or tell in
glowing words what our experiences are, but
we can feel as David did. We too can look
to Him for deliverance, for strength for light
on dark paths for uplifting grace so that We
shall be unframed
, Once more, the narrative brings before u
the responsibilities of life. Abner was res
ponsible for Saul's life, it was his duty t.

SECRETARY BAYARD has under
taken to reorganize the consular and
Diplomatic service. Those represen-
tatives of this country who have
been appointed since the 4th OF
March have received special instruc-
tions looking to the improvement OF
the service, and in a few weeks new
regulations will be issued, which, 1t
is believed, will aid in the improve
ment. The reorganization, it is
thought, will be completed by JAN
uary next. It's effect will probably
not be noted by business men until
two years have elapsed.
Mr.. Bayard has aimed to send
men abroad who are intelligent and
able to look into the business OF the
communities where they represent
this country. They are expected tc
make a study Of the imports Of these
countries, to see what American
goods can be sent there and tho
prices paid, and then report thereon
