Nothing shows more the marvellous
strength possessed by the tiger than the
way in which he carries his victim away.
I remember the first time was shown
where a tiger, had dragged a full
grown bullock. I could not believe
it possible, and It was not until
after We had killed the robber only
an ordinary sized tigress-and 1 had
carefully gone over on foot the ground
where she had dragged her prey that L
found that she had not only dragged
the dead bullOck-an animal, should
think, considerably beyond her own
weight-Over very rough ground and
through a dense cane-brake, but that in
some places, as the marks showed, she
must actually have lifted the d0reduarters
Of the bullock OF the ground ia her
mouth, and have walked several yards
with it IN that position. When the
victim has been dragged to what the
tiger considers a position OF security It
viii sit down and make a good meal, and
then retire a short distance from its prey
to some particularly thick bush or tuft Of
grass, and there remain until the following
night, and then return for another meal.
In consequence Of this weu-knoWn habit,
''a kill, as 1t is called, is the best Of all
khubber. and in such cases, If the tiger
has not been disturbed, the sportsman Is
almost sure to find him lying somewhere
close to the carcass; and If his arrange
ments are vel made, is pretty sure to
get a shot at him.

HUsBAND AND WIFE.

Husband LOgJiitlT.--
It's the stranEest thingI ever knew,
And the most provoking, rW1Et me and You
For a woman who's got maa like me,
A good DrOVider, steady and free
With all her folks, and funds 5alted down,
And as fne a house as any in town.
To lament because one child IN ten
Amt quite so good as he might have been.
It's a pretty good showing, seems to me,
That only tenth Of the lot should be-
A little of color, and that's what say
To their mother, twenty times day,
But 1 can { make her see il In that light
And Sic listens and waits night after night,
For the sound of his step, till go 50 wild
That almost curse mother and child
She ought to live for the others you know
And let Jhs turmenUing VagaDOu1 so,
And follow his WAYS, and take the pain
But / turn him ont, and she calls him again,
This makes q hardness tween her and me-
And the worst of il is the children agree
That IN in the right, You'd pity her then
Such times think I'm the meanest OF men.
I've argued and scolded, and coazed without end
Her answer is always: "AIy boy has one friend
as long as 1 live, ana your charge is untrue,
That my heart holds not equal love for you
and all the rest. But the one gone lsGray
Needs me the most, and you'll md tbs the way
OF all mothers TO hold more close to the one
Who hurts her the most. So low p work is done.
Now what can I say to such words as these?
m not convinced, as the history shows
Butt often wonder which one is right
AS hear her light step night after night,
Here and there to the window and door,
Ana she waits with heart that is heavy and sore
To save him from sin. There's husband anc
wife.

Ben. EerLey PORES "Reminiscences.
Henry Clay never was at a loss for a
word or 'fboggled" while speaking, but
his drafts on the kings English we're
never dishOnOred. With MIR. Webster 1t
was different, and he often would hest
tate, and then rub his nose with the bent

houn, when at a loss for a world, would
give a petulant twist at his large, turned
over shirt collar, and then run his bOny
finger through his long, gray hair until
it ttOOd up like the hair on an electric
toy. MIR. Benton would sink his voice
and humble something that no one could
understand, and General Cazs would
'aWl EWr' in the English style, passing
his hand beneath the lower edge Of his
waistcoat. MIR. Webster was almost IN

CHARLEsTON's BALL CRAZE.
How the News OF Thursday's Games
was Received.

CHARLESTON, March 19.-The news
from Savannah and Atlanta creates as
much establishment in base ball circles
here as one OF Gen. Gillmore's 20O-pound
Parrot shells from the swamp angels used
to create some twenty-five years ago.
First came the news ofSavannah's splen-
did victory over the Detroit club. This
was totally unexpected and puz-
only as the unexpected and not
the impossible. But when the news came
that Atlanta had checked the triumphal
march of the Louisville hltters the situa-
tion assumed more serious aspect. II
Atlanta can squarely beat Louisville and
by such a record as that given, it is said
what kind of chance is Charleston gong
to stand to get place near the
top in the league race. Later in the
at base ball headquarters here from
Manager Hart, of the Louisville club, in
which he stated that his team was beaten
by the umpiring. Then when the score
came and was dissected there seemed to
be some ground for the charge. Base
ballists here have now pretty generally
made up their minds that there must have
been some monkeying In Atlanta, for they
argue IL looks very queer that Atlanta
should be credited with 8 base hits and
runs, while Louisville with II base hits
only scored runs. 1t does look as If the
umpirlng might have had something to do
with it.
Notwithstanding their defeat at the
hands of Louisville the Charleston men
are still hopeful and confidently talk OF
making a mark when they shall have got
their hand in. They will play the Phila-
delphia club tomorrow afternoon. The
outlook financially here is very good.
| The gate money for the first game, Tues.
day, amounted TO 1882, and for the second
game 10 $225. Very good figures consid.
| erlng the fact that the grand stand has
not yet been erected and that no charge is
made for ladies. 1t has taken Charleston
long time 10 catch on TO the base ball
craze, but the disease has developed very
rapidly, and II looks like the association
| will have a good thing financially.

MRS. HANC0CK'S PENSION.
MR.. PRICE STRENUOUSLY OP-
POSES GRANTING IT.

The Custom Declared Inimical to Amer
lean Manhood, AS Encouraging Extrav-
aRant Living and Creating a Privileged
Class-The Vote rs to 4 in Favor of
Passing the Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 19.--At the even
ing session the House passed 80 pension
bills. The last bill te be considered was
that granting pension OF 81, 900 year to
the widow OF Gen. W. s. Hancock. Mr..
Bingham, Of Pennsylvania, eloquently
supported the bill, and quoted as prece-
dents the cases of the widows of Admiral
Farragut and Gen. Thomas.
Mr.. Price, OF Wisconsin, opposed the
bill, and stated that it must be considered
In the full House. He knew the country
had paid Gen. Hancock-brilliant, brave
and generous in all his propOrtions-the
sum of 1852, 900 during the last 20 years.
"He helped save your country" sug-
gested MIR. Bingham.
DIsCoURTEOUs BLUNTNEss.
M. Price-And there are hundreds of
thousands as good as he who helped save
the country who are starving.
Continuing he said that the practice Of
granting large pensions to the widows of
men who had been receiving big salaries,
and who died poor, was destructive of
American manhood. The influence was
TO make men live up to the last dollar of
their salaries in pomp and extravaganza
and champagne. 1t shook many prinOi
pies of justice and created a privileged
class.
Mr.. Bingham regretted the necessity of
taking the bill before the House in full
session.
A CHANCE FOR GENEROSITY.
He thought it would be such a graceful
act, such a generous act, to pass the biH,
now that he felt the gentleman's OWn con
stituents would applaud him TOR being a
party TO it. He Mr.. BinghaH) could not
argue this question without losing his
patience. For four years be had served
on Gen. Hancock's personal staff. He re-
GREETED <that the pension of the widow of
That General should be fixed as low as
Y2,000. The bill introduced by Mr.. Pulitz-
err, granting a pension equal to that of
the widows of ex-Presidents would have
been more in accord with his feelings.
HANCOCK HIGHLY PRAISED.
With the exception of Lincoln he knew
no man Of modern times who had done
more for his country, for civilization,
humanity and liberty than Gen. Hancock
had. Applause. He trusted that the
gentleman from Wisconsin Mr.. Price }
would let the question come before this
! gathering tonight. Let this case 20
through as cases of this kind should
90 through-a tribute of the representa-
tives OF the people 10 the widow of one of
the braVest and most chivalric soldiers of
our war. On the question of passing the
bill the vote stood % to 4, Messrs. Price,
Zach Taylor, Johnson, of Indiana, and
Winans being in the negative. Mr.. Price
then raised the question of no quorum.
The previous question was, however, or
dered on the bill, and it goes over until
Monday. The House then adjourned I'M
til to -morrOw.

BRUNswICK's PROGRESS.
Many Important Enterprises on the
Road to Contamination.

Many Important Enterprises on the
Road to Contamination.
BRUNSWICK, GA, March 19.-There is
nothing ephemeral about the prosperity
of the Brunswick of to-day. Brunswick's
advancement in growth and wealth, while
not as rapid as many would desire, is
solid and substantial, and il the coming
FIVE years bring forth no greater E6sults
than the past five have done. there can be
no doubt that when the census of 1890
will be taken that the population Of our
little city Will exceed 1890 people. At
present there are several enterprises,
some quite vague, others almost assured,
and others again ALREADY commenced,
which will all tend to the up6uilding of
our city and the prosperity of our State
amt country.
Messrs. Jgter and Bush are now build
ing extensive wbarves in the lower por-
ton OF ollE pay, upon which will be erected
commo6ious warehouses.
MeSsrs. Cole, Simpkins a. Co, who dur
fngIthe last season shipped through our
port over I1.0O0 bales OF cotton, have de-
= cided TO erect their own wharves here,
and next fall we expect to record the d.
rect shipment to foreign ports OF many
thousand bales Of cotton.
The Brunswick and Western Railroad
Company have already contracted for the
erection of their machine and other shops
necessary for the successful operation of
their road. and to be able to meet all the
demands made on them by their rapidly
increasing business. The buildings will be
of brick, and will be erected on
the lands in the southern portion OF town,
donated by our municipality for this pur-
pose. This is in truth Brunswick road,
run in the interest of our people, and that
the most sanguine expectations of its Of
Gcials may be more than realized is the
wish of all of our citizens. 1t is owing to
the accommodating spirit OF the General
Manager that we now receive the MORN
ING NEwsat 1;4O p. m. on the day OF pub
location.
That we will soon have a handsome ho-
tel here is almost an assured fact. Mr..
'Millbank. the largest owner of Bruins
wick real estate, will contribute the lands
and $50, 600, on condition that our citi-
Zens will raise q similar amount. The
NEWS correspondent is well satisfied,
from what he can gather, that the neces-
sary amount will be contributed and we
can confidently look to the erection, by
next winter, OF $4,000 hotel, Mr.. Mill
bank contemplates having built several
handsome dwelling houses to be offered
for rent. The contract for one TO be
erected near Hanover Park, has already
been given out. Many other evidences Of
prosperity might be given, but your cor.
respondent prefers waiting until they as
sumo more tangible shape.
Brunswick's pride, ''our Rihemen," have
decided to visit Savannah in May and TAKE
part in the celebration of the Chatham
Centennial. The boys will not engage il
the drill, but expect to acquire grea
deal Of information and have a good time
