This is High License.

The state of Georgia is the only State
in the Union which has anything ap-
preaching high license. In several
counties the price of license has been
fixed at $4,000, in others $1,000, and
in two or three cases at $4,000; and
uow comes GAINESVILLE with charge
of 100000 for license.
It is farce to talk of $3.50 or $500
il .he State of New York as high Ii
cense.

A Washington specials says: Some
idea of the pension bailaing, where the
biggest inaugural ball ever given will
be held OH March 4th, may be got from
the fact that St. Peters at Rome only
holds about $4,000 persons, while the
pension building will hold $4,000. The
New York contractors have insured the
decorations for $4,000. The balconies
will be hung with dark red velvet spna-
gled with geld. Each of lhe IA pillars
will be hung with silk flags, while be-
meath the balconies will be hung q
shield embroidered with the coats of
arms of the different states and terri
tories hung with silk flags. The Presi-
dent viii enter by door draped in
crimson silk curtains. The entrances
ale really carriege ways so their size
may be imagined. President Cleve-
land will return to the custom Of Wash
ington and Jefferson, and stand on dais
during The ball ceremonies.

The Death Of Gordon.

Colonies Wilson and Wortley, with
the expedition to Khartouni, arrived
here to-day. They made the journey
from Gubat in four days, and bring
news of Gordon's death. One of the
pashas among General Gordon's forces
marched the garrison to the side of the
town nearest Omdurman, saying re-
bel attack was expected at that point.
Meantime another traitorous pasha
opened the gates at the other end and
allowed FL Mahdi's troops to enter,
and they easily captured the town.
General Gordon was stabbed while
leaving the government house. At
day-break on the day of capture,
yarioasly stated as the 26th and 9Th
of january, General Gor'lon's attention
was attracted by tremendous tumult
In the streets. He left his headquar-
ters, to ascertain the cause Of the dis
turbance, and just AS he reached the
street was stabbed in the back and fell
dead. The tulnult was caused by Ell
Mahdi's troops, who were soon in COM

garrison followed. The scenes of

An Encounter.
BY AN AFRICAN HUNTER.

When was in the interior Of South
Africa inhabited by the Griquas, Ihad
q remarkable and fearful encounter
with lioness.
1 had been shooting antelopea when
the adventure occurred which I am
about to describe.
. I observed number of vultures
seated OF the plain about quarter Of
mile ahead of US, and close beside
them stood a huge lioness, consuming
blesbok which she had killed.
She was assisted in her repast Ly
about dozen jackals.
Directing my followers attention,
l remarked:
"I zee the lion )" to which they re-
piled:
WHARF whar? Yah Almagtic !
that is he" and instantly refining in
their steeds and wheeling about were
preparing to betake Themselves to
flight.
asked them what they were going
to do.
To which they answered:
"We have not yet placed caps Oh
our rifles"
While this short conversation was
passing, the lioness had observed us.
Raising her face, she overhauled
as for few seconds and then get off
towards a range of mountains some
miles to the northward the jackals
also started off in another direction.
There was, therefore no time to think
of caps.
The first move was to bring her to
bay.
spurring my steed and shouting to
my men to follow, I fed across the
plain, and gained upon her at every
stride.
The lioness having long start on
me we went over considerable e1-
tent of ground before l came up with
her.
Finding that I gained upon her !;
she reduced her pace from a cantef to
trot.
I shouted loudly to her to halt, up
on which she suddenly pulled up and
sat on her launches like a dog, with
her back toward me, not even deign'
ing to look round.
She appeared to say to herself:
"Does this fellow know who he is
after?'
Having sat for half a minute, she
sprang to her feet, and facing about,
stood looking at me for few seconds
and growing fercely. She next made
a short run forward, making loud,
rumbling noise, like thunder.
Finding that I did not finch nor
seem to heed her hostile demonstra.
tions, she stretched out and lay down
on the grass. My Hottentots now
coming up, we all three dismounted,
and, drawing our rifles, looked to see
if the powder was up in the nipples
and put on our caps.

While this was doing the lioness

While this was doing the lionesa
sat up.
She looked first at us, and then be.
hind her; after which she made a
short run toward us, uttering her
deep drawn, murderous growls.
Having secured the three horses to
one another by their reins, We led
them on as if we intended to pass her,
in the hope of obtaining broadside.
But she avoided to expose, presenting
only her full front. l had given
Stoiolus orders to shoot her if she
should spring upon me.
Kleinboy was to stand ready to
hand me my Purdy rife in case the
two grooved Dixon should not prove
sufficient. My men as yet had been
steady, but they were in precious
stew, and I had a feeling that I could
place no reliance on them.
Now, then, for it She is within
sixty yards of us, and she keeps ad-
vancing. We turned the horses tails
to her. 1 knelt on one side, and tax.
ing aim at her breast, let fly. The
ball cracked loudly on her tawny hide
and cripple d her in the shoulder upon
which she charged with an appalling
roar, and in the twinkling Of an eye
she was in the midst of US.
The lioness sprang upon my horse
and fearfully lacerated his ribs and
launches with her teeth and claws.
I was very cool and steady, but j
must confess that when the whole al
fair was over felt that it was very
awful situation, as I had no friend
with me on whom I could rely.
When the lioness sprang upon my
steed I stood out from the horses
ready with my second barrel for the
first chance she should give Of a clear
shot. This she quickly did; for she
Quilted the horse and trotted sulkily
past within few PAGES of me, taking
one step to the left. 1 pitched my
rife to my shoulder, and in another
second the lioness was stretched on the
plain corpse.
In the struggles of death she hall
turned on her back; her mighty arms
hung powerless by her side, her lower

mouth and she expired. At the mo-

from their anxiety to be out of the
way, evidently considered capable o

The Terror.
He Was Bad Man and Did Not Care
to Die.
Detroit Free Press.


A burly form-a thick necklace
covered with bristles-hands covered
with hair-a voice like the below Of
a bull-a natural swagger to his gait
eyes like mad dog's-mouth nc
cleaner than hog's-a clustering
roaring, malicious brute |!
Such was the Terror.
A mile away from the little town
he halted his horse and braced his
courage with half pint of whiskey'
1t was a fluid which would have kill
ed dog; he smacked his lips over
it. He pulled out his revolvers and
saw that they were loaded and in or
der. He drew his bowie knife from
it's sheath and tried the keen edge.
He was going to capture the town
and run it.
This thick-necked human brute,
this staggering, drunken, boasting,
fighting beast, proposed to intimidate,
oyerawe, shoot, slay and kill. The
people had never seen him; he would
show himself off. Some Of them had
never heard of him he would see
that they remembered his name and
the date of his visit.
In the town men were at work on
the streets-in the shops. Women sat
in their doors or passed to and fro.
From the open windows Of the school
house came the voices of the children
as lessons were recited. It was an
hour of peace.

The Terror had struck the town. In
FIVE minutes he had captured it. Two
men lay dead in front Of the store
another at the door Of the blacksmith
shop-two more were groaning with
grevious wounds.

There was a woman. Her husband
was the frat man shot, and her eyes
were upon him as he fell. She did
not scream out nor faint away. Her
face turned whittier than chalk-she
gasped for breath two or three times,
and then her teeth shut hard. The
sewing fell from her hand, and she
rose up, walked into the bedroom,
and was back in moment with a
rife. Kneeling down at the window
she pushed the barrel over the ell,
aimed straight at the Terror's head
and pulled the trigger.
Whoopl Waugh They call me
the Terror! Come out and see me
and shake-?
He threw up his arms as the rlle
cracked, and lurched out OF the sad
die to the ground, the bullet raking
his skull. Three or four men ran to
him at once, and finding that he was
wounded and stunned they tied him
stout and fast.
