A Marrow Escape.

A couple of nights ago at the FORE
de Neuilly in Paris, Bidel, the famous
lion tanner, had, as usual, pitched his
tent at the corner of the great Paris
fair, where his blood curdling perform
ances had been drawing crowds night
ly. He had entered the cage to face
four fierce lions with whom he per-
forms. The people noticed that Bidel
did not seem himself. He had an anx-
ious look and seemed unwell. No
wonder, for he was suffering from a
sudden attack of rheumatism and
walked with difficulty. All went well,
however, up to certain point. He
had put the four animals through their
PAGES. Three had returned to the
adjoining cage, and Bldel was alone
with one ferocious old African lion
his show beast, named Sultan, which
began it's career if France by biting
rustic,s arm off some years ago.
The beast has always been hard to
manage. Bidel was about to make
Sultan stand on his hind legs, when
the tanner stumbled, from rheumatic
pain, falling prone. In an instant
the lion bounced upon him, fastening
it's teeth in his neck and arms. All
seemed over and a simultaneous cry
of horror arose from the audience.
Several women tainted, and every one
but Bidel and an assistant, who was
providentially near, lost their heads.
By tremendous effort of muscle and
will the lion tanner clutched the lion
by the jaw and strove to hurl the
mighty mass away from him. At the
same time the assistant, catching up
long iron tipped pole, made a de-
termined lunge at Sultan, who, bowling
with pain, released his hold and retired
next door to reflect on the situation.
Before the beast could spring at him
again. Bidel, streaming with blood,
dragged himself to the outer door of
the cage. Meanwhile all the animals
in the menagerie had raised their
peculiar cries, making the place hide
GUS. A doctor present at once at
tended to the wounds, II in number,
but none Immediately dangerous.
Bidel at once offered to re-enter the
cage to complete the performance, but
the public stopped him with shouts of
"Assez! Assez P' (enough, enough)
and he retired, for week or ten days
o obtain rest and nursing.

Grand Master Workman Powderlv,
of the knights of Labor, is now spok-
en- of as the coming Democratic can
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania.
The programme is for Powderly to
withdraw from the Congressional fight
in the twelfth district, leaving the field
free to Judge Woodward, and other
leading Democrats will help Mr.. Pow
derby to secure the gubernatorial NOM
ination. Owing to differences between
the MILAN and Randall factions it is
believed that Mr.. Powderly will be
acceptable as compromise candidate
and can be nominated without difficult
ty. The Luzerne and Lackawanna
county delegations will be solid for
him. John E. Barrett, editor of the
Scranton Truth, says that Powderly
can be nominated, and W. III. Hines,
of Wilkesbarre, Penn, eX-member of
the Legislature, and a bosom friend
of Mr.. Powderly, says the master
workman will be nominated and that
he will poll a larger vote than any
other Democrat who could be named.
Mr.. Powderly's friends there, say he
would only be very glad to get a
chance to resign his present position,
as he is being overworked and his
health is giving away under the strain.

A Man Whose Integrity Has Never
Been ASSaiIed.

The country will be glad to learn
that Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, who has
been dangerously i'll for several days,
is so far convalescent that hopes are
now entertained for his rapid and
complete recovery. If Mr.. Morrill,
lives to complete his present term in
the United States Senate, he will
have the honor of being longer in
continuous service in Congress than
any other man in the history of the
government. He was elected to the
thirty fourth Congress, assumed his
seat therein March 4, 1855, and was
returned by an appreciative and CRATE
full constituency to the thirty-ifth,
thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty
eighth and thirty-ninth Congresses,
and was then promoted to the Senate,
in which he took his seat March 4,
1867. A remarkable fact, and one
which we believe cannot be paralleled
in the history of any legislative body,
is that since first entering Congress,
until his present illness, he has been
absent from his seat but one day, and
that on account of sickness, and that
he has never missed a committee
meeting. During his more than thlr-
ty years service he has always COM
manded the respect and confidence OF
his colleagues in both branches of
Congress, while his wise counsels and
advice have been often sought and
generally followed by successive adj
ministrations. More than once Mr..
Morrill, has been rendered and urged
to accept cabinet position, which he
declined, preferring to represent his
people in the legislative branch of the
government. 1t is another remarka-
BILE fact, and one of which the people
of his State and the country may well
be proud, that through a legislative
experience of a third of century
during much of which time he has
been at the head of the two most i'm
portant committees, that of ways and
means in the House, and of finance
in the Senate-his reputation for puri-
tv of personal character and infexible
official integrity has never been as
sailed by even the whispered breath
of rumor. He remarked to a friend
who sat by his bedside a few minutes
one morning recently, that while ly-
ing, as he supposed, under the shadow
of the wing of death, it was a COM
forting reflection to him that in all
his public life he had never acted with
insincerity, made the speech of a
demagogue, or advocated or opposed
a measure that did not receive the
sanction of his Judgment and the ap-
prevail of his conscience We rejoice
that his life is spared to the nation.
1t is a misfortune to humanity that
such men should die or grow DID,

A BIG GR1sr. Guion line
steamer, Nevada, which arrived the

age passengers. Among them were
43O new converts to the Mormon mon
faith. Of nationalities, over 300
were Scandinavians and Swiss, and
the remaining English speaking. A
noticeable feature was that not one
person of Irish descent was among
the number. There were old men OF
20 and old women of 60; young girls
of II and IA, and boys of the same
age. Children were present in sWarms,
of ages varying from six months to
IA years, and the female portion of
arrivals outnumbered the male three
to one. Men were there who ac-
knowledged having left their wives
behind, and women owned up to being
'sgrass" widows. Some had left chill
dren behind them and others had
brought families with them.
