Charge Of q Tiger.

As q general rule a tiger will endeavor
70 avoid an encounter with a line Of ele-
plants; on rare occasions it will await
their approach, and charge home when
within a few PAGES, but on still rarer oc-
casions 1t will advance TO the attack from
some distance, mouth open, lips curling
upward, ears down, tail on end, every
hair vn Its body and head brsting with
fury.
Whoever has had the fortune TO wit
uess such Q charge will never forget tbs
magnificent sight, nor the terrific sounds
which accompanied the onward bounds
Of fhe enraged monsteI filing the air

The Largest Tree In America.

Mr.. Warren, who has seen the big
e-ees Of Mariposa, those Of the Big Tree
Grove in Calaveras county. and all the
big trees Of the a range, says there "a
in no place Ia California a tree that ap
proaches in size that on the Kaweah.
The men had with them no rule, tape
line or measure OF any kind, but Mr..
Warren measured the tree with his rifle,
which is four feet in length. He found
IL IN be forty-four lengths OF his gun in
circumference at a point as high above
the ground as he could reach. The to-
Of the tree has been broken off, bat it h
still Of immense height.
This monster tree stands in a small
basin near the Kaweah, and is surrounded
on all sides by a wall Of huge rugged
rocks. There Is 30 much brush in the
vicinity that the little valley in which the
dig tree stands is almost inaccessible. A
landmark. and a notable feature OF the
landscape, is an immense rock known "a
Homer's Nose. This rock stands on Q
mountain that has an elevation OF from
5000 TO 5000 feet above the level O, the
sen. The rock itself is about five hun
dred feet In height II is visible above
the pine forests from Tulare valley. The
small valley in which the big tree stands
Is a mile or two east Of Homer's Nose.
About it are many giant trees, several
larger than the big trees Of Marposa.
Lower down the Kaweah is what il
called the Giant Forest. At this place .

Mr.. Clark's Defeat.

The defeat Of Mr.. Clark, democratic
nominee for delegate to congress, ap-
pears to be certain. Ifthis probability
Is sustained by later returns ii will
show the existence Of peculiar state
Of affairs in the democratic party OF
Montana. Mr.. Clark WAS the unani-
nous choice OF the territorial conven.
ton. He accepted the nomination
very much against his own inclina-
tions and with the assurance that b.
would have the hearty support Of his
party associates. He was given noble
assistance by many leaders in the
party, notably 10y the present delegate,
j. X. ToUle, and the iormer delegate,
Major Mnginnis, and by others whose
words should have had great weight.
The opi 0sitiOn resorted to the most
disreputabls methods to injuTe the
standing Of Mr.. Clark with miners
aud business men, but Ii would be an
insult To the intelligence and fairness
OF the people Of Montana generally Ia
eoncede that these attacks influenced d
any considerable number OF voters.
He was lot opposed by u man Of
superior merit or ability in any direc-
zion. but by one wnom men Of hisown
