Dying Jim Tiger.

Poor old Jim Tigerl While the dark
days of winter send their chill blasts
through the leallcss branches OF tho
trees, and scene OF cheorless dcsolation
scatters itself over the pretty inclosrmo
OF the Zoo, the winter Of his tigerships
career is rapidly gathering about him
and drawing together the shadowy cur
tains of life's close. Jim Tiger. the
royal Bengal, who for over nine years
has reared his proud head and darted
flashes of untamed fire out Of his great.
threatening eyeballs, has slowly but
surely dropped from the foremost rank
he held, without an equal, IN the rare
collection of savage animals. Eo has
sunk gradually, through the decrepitude
Of age, until 1t Is doubtful II his best
friends, who knew him in his prime and
vigor, would be able TO recognize him
now. The once smooth, shiny coat,
with its bright and beautifully striped
rings of black, has lost its charnss. Their
brilliancy has faded, and the hair in
many places has fallen out, apparently
by the handiuls on the back and sides,
leaving ugly gray spots This viii de
stroy what value his skin might have
after he dies. The anatomy ot the beast
has been worn and wasted by age and
disease combined until the llesh seems
10 have almost left il.
Jim Tiger was among the first OF the
collection Of savage beasts secured by
the Geological society. He was obtained
from the London society, and has been
in captivity altogether for period Of
twenty-five years, the longest Of any
wild beast ever exhibited to the public
When he first came to the garden he
was fcrocious and threatening. but by
gradual degrees he became wonderfully
susceptible of kind treatment 1t will
probably not be many days before Jim's
cruel chains Of captivity Will be broken,
and the old beast viii no longer delight
the eyes Of children and spectators at
the 100. Rhtiadeiphta Telegram.

The Growth OF Auti.saccrdotali.m.

Passing over that period during which
ecclesiastical power throughout Europe
was rising TO is climax. we come, ia tho
twelfth century, 10 dis-yutCrs Of mlra
advanced types; who, with or without
differences Of doctrine r'hclcd against
the thcn-eNiSting church government.
Such seclS rs the Arnoldi,ts in Italy. the
Petrobusians, Iaputah and WaldenScs
in France, and afterward the Stcdngcrs
in Germany and the Apo>tolicas in
Italy, are examples; scvrrtlly rharac.
terizcd by assertion Of individual free
dom. alike in Judgment and action.
Ordinarily holding doctrines called
herctcal, the PRONUNCIATION OF which
was itself acit denial of ecclesiastical
authority (though denial habitually
based ON submission 70 an alleged high
er authority, sects of this Kind went on
increasing in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries, There were tho Lollar,ls in
England; the fraticclli IN Italy; tho
Taborites, Bohemian Brpthcrn. Morayians
and Hussites, in Bohemia: all setting
themselves against church-diSciplino.
And thcn the rchcllious movement OF
the reformation, rs carried forward by
the Luthcraus in Germany, the Zwng-
lians and Calyinists in Switzerland. tho
Huguenots in France, the Anabaptists
in England, exhibited, along with rep
udiation ofyarious established doctrines,
ceremonies. and usages, more pro-
nounced characterization Charac-
tcrized in common by opposition to
Episcopacy, protestant or catholic, we
see first of all In the government by
prcsbyters, adopted by sundry Of these
dissenting bodies, a stop tow ard freedom
Of Judgment and practice in religious
matters, accompanied by denial Of
priostly inspiration And then in tho
subsequent rise of the Independents,
taking for their distinctive principle the
right Of each congregation 10 govern
itself, we see further advance In that
anti-sacerdotal movement which reached
its extreme in the next century with tho
Quakers; who, going directly to tho
fountain head of the creed, and carry.
ing out more consistently than usual tho
professed right OF private judgment.

the schooner, says thai on the last voyage he

King represented that his father was in very

A NEW SOUTHERN Pool FoRMED-Ata meet
Ing of the general managers and general passen
ger agents of the southern railroads, In New
York yesterday, a new contract settling passen-
ger rates was approved and signed by the gen.
eral managers. This contract forms associa-
ton OF all the southern roads, and settles the
passenger rates TO be charged by the members
OF the pool. A rate committee is provided for,
and is made up OF the general passenger agents.
The duty OF this committee is To see that no
member OF the association charges less than the
schedule rates. Any agent found guilty OF this
offense will be lined $50, and IL caught "a second
time dismissed from the road by which he Is
employed. The passenger agents will hold a
special meeting and settle upon the question OF
rates to be charged from all points on the road.
Another question OF great Importance which Is
to be discussed is the rates to be charged from
in Florida.

An Aged Farmers LOSS.
ROBBED OF $1,000 BY TWO GENrLEMANLY-
APPEARING PERSONS.

AfPEARING PERSONS.
A gentleman of pleasing address appeared at
the residence of George Swarts, a prominent
farmer living a few miles from Washington,
Pa, on Monday, and said that he had pur-
chased the adjoining farm. While they were
engaged in conversation another stranger
stopped at the house. He represented himself
to be buyer Of bulls. He shortly produced q
large roll OF bills, and after 1iourishing Shem
around for awhile drew some cards from his
pocket and tried the ''three-card monte" trick.
Mr.. Swarts refused to bet. Through some rep
resenIatpn by the first man Mr.. Swarts was
next induced TO go to town in buggy and draw
from the First National bank the sum OF
$4,000. After procuring the money, which he
got IN one package OF bills of large denomina-
ton, they got in the strangers buggy return To
the home of Mr.. Swarts, and while on the way
back met the second man, who stopped them
and, pointing a gun at Mr.. Swarts, demanded
the money. Mr.. Swarts, being man rs years
OF age and having no weapon 10 defend himself,
could do nothing else than hand over the
money. After procuring their booty the out
laws required Mr. Swarts toget out OF the buggy
and walk home, while they got in and drove
OF.
