EXCITING SCENE.
A Panther Boards a Steamboat and
Paralyzes Gang of ROustabOutS.
F,o,, th1 81 Louis GZobe- Deu0crat

Paralyzes Gang of ROustabOuts.
From the 50. Louis Globe Democrat.
While the Henry A. Tyler was passing
Savannah, Tennessee river, recently, a
huge panther jumped into the river from
the bank opposite the city and made a
bold swim toward the opposite shore.
While the eyes of every one on the boat
were directed to the graceful, tawny
creature making his way rapidly
and easily against the current
he suddenly changed his direc-
tion and made a bee-line for the boat.
gathered chunks Of coal and awaited the
approach OF the beast. Reaching the
guard, which was low in the water in
consequence Of big cargo, he threw his
huge paws upon 10 and with a bound
gained a foothOld. A fusilsde OF big
coal chunks struck the animal in
a dozen places, knocking him into the
river amid his savage growls and
bowls of pain. Almost Immediately the
now thoroughly inturiated beast again
turned, and with grOwl leaped clear out
OF the water and landed amid the knot of
almost paralyzed negroes on the lOrecastle,
where he crouched fercely, with blazing
eyes looking about him, swapping aud
snarling, while his long, graceful tail
slowly swayed TO and FRO. AT this mo-
ment Capt. Hill, who had arrived upon
the scene with a double-barreled shotgun,
raised his weapon and sent a charge OF
buckshOt into the panther's fore-should-
ers, which caused him again TO leap into
the river, and, with trail OF crimson
blood staining the blue waters behind, the
savage king Of the Tennessee jungles rap
idly swan 10 the shore, disappearing in
the dense thicket and underground which
tringes the bank at this point. The AMI
nal was of tawny brown, about 3 feet
and said TO be the largest ever seen in
that country.

AN OLD CUSTOM.
The Ancient Jews Indulged I'm Live
stock Insurance.

stock Insurance.
From the So Louis Republican.
Maj. Harvey, the actuary and antiQuary
of the insurance department, was delving
yesterday among the ancient records on
ile in the department, when he encoun-
tered a document which exploded the
belief that live stock insurance is re-
cent invention. 1t was an old report from
Massachusetts insurance company, in
closed in which was evidence that the
Jews practiced live stock insurance hun
dreds OF years before the introduction of
any of the forms OF modern insurance.
The method of operating was explained
by the following provisions Of a Hebrew
statute, taken from ''Hosefta Bahia
Kama" supplement to the Talmud:
alt shall be lawful for ass-drivers to
come to an understanding whereby they
may agree whenever one OF the members
of the company shall lose a donkey by
robbers or wild beasts to furnish another
in place of the one lost; provided, how
ever, that in case Il driver shall have lost
his donkey through his own negligence IL
shall not be necessary to supply him with
another. Whenever a donkey is lost
without any fault on the part of the driver,
another donkey shall be furnished him.
In case the owner says, Give me the value
Vi my uOukey anu Will puTcudhe new
donkey for myself the offer need not be
accepted let donkey be bought for him
and placed at his dlsposal.'
Another provision reads:
"Peradveuture the ass-driver who has
lost a donkey may be owner likewise OF
another donkey, and may demand the
value of the donkey he has lost in money,
so that he may content himself with his
one donkey alone, and the amount of his
property at risk be thereby diminished.
This would change his relations to the
company. His donkey is therefore re-
turned to him In kind, In Rdturd; so long
as he has two donkeys at risk his dill
gence to protect all the donkeys belong
ing to the company will be the greater"
This shows that the followers of Moses
were at chat early day fully alive to the
dangers of fraud and overinsurance; a
knowledge which the advocates OF val
ued policy laws in these days have, an
parently, vet to acquire. The honest old
Jews understood then, as very large
percentage OF the Gentiles do now, that
insurance meant indemnity, and nothing
else.
