The fascinated Englishman who is said
to have followed about for 10 years Bidcl,
the celebrated lion tanner, and to have
watched his every performance in the cx.
pectation of witnessing the inevitable acci-
dent, has at length met with part of his
reward. A few nights ago Bidcl was at.
tackled and disarmed by his performing
lion Sultan, who IA years ago signalizcd his
arrival in Paris by killing q man. The
brute stood over his master and proceeded
to get TO work with his claws, when Bidcl
raised himself, and getting we'll under Sui,
tan, by an effort Of almost superhuman
strength, hurled him off through the opcn
door of cage, which was promptly closed.
1t was found that the tanner had L wounds
on his neck and shoulders; but, notwith-
standing, ho presented himself before the
spectators, streaming with blood as he was,
and proposed to continue the exhibition,
and show that he and not Sultan was really
master This was, of course, not per
mittcd; but tho performances have recon-.
mcnced, and the Englishman if he is not
released from the spell, will probably still
have extensive opportunities of studying
the ways of performing lions.-IW M0H

Light Coins TO be Stamped.

| The following notice was pasted on the
| bulletin board Of the Sub-Trcasury ycstcr
| day:
ION and after August |, 1880, all gold
coin below legal weight will under instruc-
tons received from the Secretary of the
Treasury, be stamped light, rs the same
is presented at the Suh-Trcasury.
The necessity for this new rule, rs cx-
planned at the SubTrcasury, is this: There
is law which fixes the coin "limit OF t0lcr-
ance"-thc point to which coins may be
worn or ahradcd, and still he worth their
face valuc--at One.h0lf of por cent. this
means that when gold dollar in the course
of its use loses onc-half cent of its value in
weight it ceases to be worth 81 as q legal
tender, and is worth only its weight rs gold
merchandise. Until about four years ago
it was rule of the officers ut the New y ork
Suh.Trcasury to stamp all coins outside of
the limit Of tolerance with letter L."
signitying that they were of light weight,
But dcpositors raised an outcry against
the mMtilaliou Of national coins and ON
order came from Washington directing the
Sub-Trcasury here to quit its stamping
business. The result was that though
light weight coins were once rejected at the
Sub Treasury, they still kept coming in a
regular stream. The same abraded coin
would be offered over and over again four
or five times during one week. There was
nothing to distinguish their light weight,
and often they wore detected only because
the clerks of the Sub-Trcasury, with their
delicate touch, the result of years Of prac-
ticc, could detect the lightncss of weight
when to an ordinary business man the coin
would have nothing in its appearance out
of the ordinary. Often it happened that
in ono bag of gold coins tho abrasion of
the pieces will make total of $15 or more
under the full-weight valuo, though the
loss to each coin is scarcely perceptible.

Cost of Hauling Fish

The Canadian Pacific road has Just given
another instance of its intents upon public
funds A carload of frozen fish was shipped
from Port Arthur to st. Paul. and the Man
itoba road asked the Canadian Pacific to
make through rate of so cents per 100
pounds. The Canadian Pacific teIegraphed
in reply that it had already received IS
cents per 100 pounds as its portion of the
haul from Port Arthur to Emerson, and
the Manitoba could take whatever it liked.
The Canadian Pacific made this enormous
charge under the impression that the fish
could only be routed over its line to st.
Paul. But it made mistake and will haul
no more. A tug has been fitted up at Du-
!uth, and will haul fish from Port Arthur
during the winter, and the st. Paul &
Duluth will bring them to st. Paul.
