A Lion Tanners Fate.

PARIS, March l0.-The great lioness
in the Water circus here attacked Ed
ward Williams, the lion tanner, while
he was putting her through her regular
performance in the cage last night.
The vast audience was spellbound.
Williams made desperate struggle,
and the fight between him and the en-
ragged beast lasted for some minutes,
during which he was terribly lacerated.
The circus attendants who ran to
Williams's assistance with iron bars
and prongs, while they finally succeed
ed in saving his life, goaded the lioness
to such ferocity that her actions threw
the spectators into Il panic and they
rushed pell-mell from the place, the
men trampling the women and children
down. The lion tanner preserved his
self control and gradually neared the
gate of the cage, his person mangled
and bleeding from innumerable wounds.
The door was opened and Williams
slipped ont and sprung it behind him.
The moment he touched the ground he
sank into prolonged swoon. He was
removed to Il hospital, where his inju-
ries were pronounced very serious.

Mutton Instead of Wool.

The tendency of the times in sheep
husbandry is to the production of more
and better mutton with less attention
to the wool. This is proved by the
growing popularity of the mutton
breeds of sheep.

More Grape on the Enemy.

The Boston Traveller tells us that
the largest cargo of New England rum
ever shipped from the United States,
recently left the port of Boston for
Africa. We used to hear of missiOna-
ries on deck, and rum in the hold of
sea going crafts, but the times of this
ignorance were supposed t" he we'll
past. Now, however, that the great
opened 10y missionary explorations, His
Satanic Maiesty's most potent pleDlpe-
Tertiary gets appointed to the new
court. Men of God, and of the church,
ga little more grape" on the enemy,
and less on the defenders of the faith
In this connection it is pleasant to
something pleasant to be noted, that
the African Trading Company of the
Zambesi and the Shire will net allow
liquors to be transported in their ships.
These heather shame us, brethren.
Converted to God, they will no longer
be allies of the devil. Madagascar,
only half century out of barbarism,
puts our Christian nation to blush in
its rigid prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic liquors. The no.
BILE answer of its ambassadors to one of
England's chancellOrs is yet ringing in
cur ears: "Better an empty excheq-
uer than degraded people"

The Occupants of the White
House.

The prayers of Christian people
should go up earnestly that President
Cleveland may he preserved amid the
dangers and fortified against the temp
tatiOns that will beset his path, and
that lie may have the courage and firm
ness necessary to resist the tide of pO-
litical corruption which surrounds him.
His Immediate family connections are
such AS promise to fill the White House
and surround the private life of the
President with the purest and happiest
influences. He was attended during
the Inauguration ceremonies by his
brother, the Rev. Nh. Cleveland and
his wife, by his sister, Mrs. HOyt, and
his unmarried sister, Miss Cleveland,
who is to preside over his household.
OF the latter the Union Signal, of the
9Th inst, says;
When the new mistress of the White
Household bless her and keep her =
steps into place which she will honor
rs highly as it honOrs her, she will
scarcely fail to remember that sweet
day of last years spring when the
w. c. +. u. met in national concert Of
prayer for the conventions so soon to
nominate a president of the United
States She will remember that sol
emn hour to which she herself, all in
nocently, gave direction and leader
ship, when the Spirit of God turned all
thoughts toward the future mistress OF
the White House, and prayers were
offered that whoever this might be.
she might be endowed with heavenly
grace aud divine strength to stand in
the nations highest home, its true
priestess, its safe ensample. The then
leader, Miss Cleveland herself, is now
in Gods providence the first lady OF

long after the revolution ended.
"The work which is now in pro-
gress in the south, it is true, is such
work as was completed in the north
generation ago, but the signifi-
cant fact is that it is in progress.
Whatever the causes that have kept
the south back in the industrial race
the obstacles have been removed,
and the race has begun. 1t will not
stop.
"The west has had its day, the
day of rapid, almost unnatural
growth and development, and it will
now be left to follow like order of
progress and development with the
eastern and middle states, while the
south goes to the front by reason of
its greaser opportunities as compar-
81 with those Of other parts Of the
union. There are more attractions
for labor and capital i'll the south to-
day than in any other part of the
world, and both labor and capital
are quick to recognize the field
where they may be employed to
best advantage. They are already
pouring into our territory, in small
and widely separated streams it may
be, but the currents once turned this
way Will never be stayed or turned
aside. The tide will grow larger
and stronger every year, and the
children of to-day will see the flood
ere they reach mau's estate.
The south is growing, and its
prosperity is growing with even
more rapid pace. Its natural re
sources cannot longer lie idle in the
presence of the demand for them,
and its broad acres cannot remain
unoccupied in view of the popula
ton which is pressing in on all sides
in search of homes. What the west
has been to the east for a quarter of
century, the south is to the north,
east and west alike, and having ev-
cry advantage of soil and climate
that lavish nature can bestow upon
a country, it is destined to outstrip
both its older and younger competi-
tors, and to win the first place in
sight of them and in spite of them
