THE LADY OF LYONS.
A New and veracious Version OF AN Old
Fashioned story.

Fashioned story.
An impression prevails among some
people that the Lady Of Lyons was a
circus woman who went into the lions
cage and performed them. Such was
not the case. She was wealthy young
lady Of Lyons, N. Y, who moved In
the first circles. She was strolling In
tho garden one day when the gardeners
son, who was wedding an onion bed,
saw her and Immediately fell in love
with her. He thought there never was
such woman as Pauline. though he
couldn't make his pa lean that way,
nor his ma. Hearing Of tho young
mans infatuation, u couple OF Pauline's
discarded lovers put up job on her.
They dressed Claude in fine clothes and
introduced him to her as Count. He
was of no count rs n simple gardener.
but rs supposed titled man he rose in
the social scale very greatly. He pict-
ured to her in glowing colors his home
by the Lake of Como, with its fruits of
gold, nickel-plated bananas, etc, and
she expected TO be conveyed to it in a
palace car, four sections to themselves.
Judge, then, of her veXation and dis
gust on being conveyed in n bob-tailed
horse-car and landed at his mothers 5
humble lodgings on the sixth floor of a
cheap tenement building. She there
upon denounced Claude and his decep-
tions. and he went off and enlisted to
fight Indians. lie got an appointment
rs an Indian Agent, amasscd hand
some fortune in short time and came
back to claim his bride. Every thing
was explained, except how he came to
get so much money. and Claude and
Pauline were reunited. - 7eEas Slit.

PANThERS AT LARGE.


Parks of Madras.
Two panthers recently escaped from con-
finemont, and wero for n short time at
large in the Peoples Park, Madras. Mr..
Ellis, superintendent of tho park, found
one OF them upa large acacia tree, crouch
ing on thick branch. He went (says the
Madras NdiD within thirty yards of tho
tree, took aim and fred, hitting the animal
just above the left shoulder. The shot
proved fatal, and down dropped the animal
dead. Seeing that the animal had been
killed, and not knowing that u second
panther was at large, the people who had
taken refuge on the trees jumped down,
and all crowded round the dead panther
and bcaborcd IL with their clubs and
sticks. Mr.. Ellis then reloaded his rifle
and went into the inclosurc, directing
the park sergeant TO follow him.
Mr.. Ellis saw tho second panther
outside the cage; so he called out to tho
people to beware, and they Immediately
rushed about outside tho inclosure,
shouting Mr.. Ellis then ran after tho
panther, which, instead of going into tho
cage, rushed away. Finding that il was
making its way towards tho bridge leading
To the island whore the monkeys are kept,
and where number Of people had taken
refuge in the trec2, Mr. Ellis made his way
thither across the kangaroo enclosure in n
direction opposite to that in which the
panther was running. Iic got within forty
yards of the beast and halted. He then
fired. The panther was wSnnded, though
not mortally, and, growing with rage,
rushed straight at Mr.. Ellis and knocked
him down. 1t then went away again to-
wards the rhinoccros pond, ran round tho
cage, and again made for Mr.. Ellis, who
had rcyained his fCCt but WAS not prcparcd
for the attack The panther seized him by
the right foot and bit him severely on tho
ankle. After calling loudly for help, Mr..
Ellis struck the panther with the butt end
Of his rifle, stunning it. The wounded
animal lay against the wall Of one OF the
cages groaning with pain, when mahout
pinned him against the wall with his spear,
and the sergeant dispatched him with .
bullet

a Conductor stops His Train to ChAss 3
Real bad Boy.
young Lady who had just returned from
Tar bouthern tour was narrating her ex-
periences away down In Dixie 10 Nashville
American reporter: "The funniest thing
that happened upon tho whole trip" she
said, "was whilo travelling through Ala

tention was called TO one end OF the coach,

TO quiet him Between yells he managed TO
explain the cause Of hts mishap. He said
that he was looking out Of the window when
boy, who was standing near the track In a
held, as the train was passing picked up a
rock and threw II at him. Tho stonc struck
tho window pane, shattering it, and q piece
OF glass cut long and painful cash under
the young tourists eye. In few minutes
every passenger In the coach was Offering
some suggestion and interfering with
those who were trying TO bind up
the wound. The condustor came upon
the scene about this time. Upon learn
ing tho situation he Immediately
stopped the train and began backing

done. AS the train had been going at a
rapid rate IL was several miles from the
sceno OF tho action. The lad who threw tho
stone was standing near the track with his
hands In his pockets, doubtless wondering
why tho train was coming back, but when
tho cars stopped within few feet of him he
must have guessed tho reason, for he i'm
mediately graspcd his hat in his hand and
started like racc-horso across the muddy
fields. In few minutes all the malc pas
sengers on the train were IN h1. pursuit

young miscrc.nt about Il mile, they came TO

plugged through without hesitation, but the
passengers, not desirous Of getting vet, de-
cided to discontinue the pursuit. TWAS tho
most ridiculous thing | ever witnessed.
Just imagine about thirty or forty great big

BUSH OTTER'S ROMANCE.
A Yanktonian Sioux In Love with u West
Virginia Damsel.

For year or more full blood Yanktonian
Sioux Indian has been engaged at the Bureau
of Ethnology translatiSg the myths and sign
language OF his race, and has produced some
interesting and valuable papers, being able
both to read and write tho English language
fluently. He was educated at Hampton,
and has been connected with tho geological
survey in various mining capacities for
some years. Last summer, writes Wash
ingtou correspondent, he became dcmoral-
ized. He was sent to West Virginia for a
few weeks with party from the survey,
and there made the acquaintance Of a pale
faced damsel whose attractions seemed TO
destroy his mental equilibrium, for he has
not been himself since Instead Of attend
ing to his studies diligently, as was his prao-
tice before, Bush Otter, for that is his name,
spent much time in looking out of the WIN
dow in an abstracted manner and in writing
letters, Of which he destroyed ss many as
he mailed. About once in two weeks he
would ask for a tew days leave Of absence
and would disappear from the Office and his
accustomed haunts, but he always refused
10 tell where he was going or where he had
been.
Tho applications for leave became so fire.
quent that Major Powell was compelled to
refuse them, but Bush Otter seemed oil Of a
sudden to be troubled with poor health.
Two or three days each week he would re-
main away from the office aud complain up
on his return of having been i'll. 1t was ac-
cidentally discovered that when suffering
from these mysterious complaints he inva-
riably went to West Virginia for treatment,
and as he appeared to grow worse instead
Of better, and became absolutely unable to
do any work, Major Powell called for his
resignation. Bush Otter wrote out the docu-
mcnt without hesitation and seemed glad 10
be relieved from Official responsibilities SO
that he could spend his whole time in loving.
As soon as he drew the pay due hum he started
for the State of Wea Virginia and has not
been seen since. The officers Of the Bureau
OF Ethnology are greatly interested in tho
case and await tho result of Bush Otter's
courtship with anxiety.
