PURSUED BY A LION.

A Dog Saves the Life of a Hunter.
Belgravia Magazine.
The narrator of the following adven-
thre was out in the forest and wandered
much farther than he intended. At last
the dog was set upon by lion. and only
got off with his life; but dogs senses
are sometimes worth more than mans
Judgment, and in the present instance,
half dead as he was, the dog saved his
masters life:

the true course. A hundred times |
thought of dropping the poor animal,
but had not the heart when he licked
my neck and remembered what his ia tie
would be-devoured alive by ants.
Presently he became restless, and
then he growled. ..It needs many

feebly, gathering up his limbs-poor
beast! l suddenly caught the hint and

That lion was following again. l looked
to my rifle and set forward. In ten min

now the dog did not cease to raise such
feeble clamOr as he could, and | shot as
fast as could load. The firing saved
me. Two vaqueros resting in the shade

ages, and those inseparable from the
hunt of ferociouS wild beasts, such as
the bear, the panther, and the buffalo.
War was the normal condition of the
powerful bands of DakotaS and other
sayages, and the white man falling in
with war party of these belligerent
tribes might deem himself fortunate if
he could save his life by sacrifice OF
whatever property he possessed. The
traveller and hunter, in their peregrina-
tons, were compelled to trust to their
skill in constructing RATS, or in swim
ming, for crossing the numerous
streams. and to the sun or stars to di-
rect their course. Nature in her prim-
tive luXurlance, unmarried by the labor
of man, unveiled her beauties on every
side as a reward to those Of her infre-
quent visitors, who could appreciate

passion, for such it was, grew with my

for other amusements. This mania had
much to do with the decision TO cast my
lot in the remote Northwest. My old
and intimate friend, the late lamented
Col. FL. L. Dousman, had the manage
ment Of the fur trade for some years
previous to my advent, and as his duties
required him to visit and inspect the
distant posts in his district. he became
well acquainted with the country. He
depicted its charms, the multitude of
game animals it contained, and the OPP
portunities afforded for hunting without
any sacrifice or neglect of business in
terests, in such glowing terms, that
my youthful imagination was capti-

A Bit of Crane.

N. Y. Herald.
"A piece of Grape fluttered from the
head-piece of the drawbridge over the
Rencocas river at Hainesport, yesterday
morning as the west-bound train for
Philadelphia approached, and the draw
tender, George Hoyle, who for a score
OF years has lived in the little house be-
side the bridge with his wife, was absent
from his post.

the draw" said the engineer. ''WOnder

0aJuSt then the train came to halt at
the edge of the bridge, and from his
little house staggered George Hoyle, the

so choked with emotion that he could
hardly speak.

the engineer in kindly voice, as he no

Politcness Not Died Out.

Politeness has not quite died out,
although n man has to be full to rise To
that height of dignfed grandiose chivalry
which used to he quoted as elegant wit.
He is an Irishman, and he had been hay
ing delightful evening. The poetry had
begun to bubble out OF him and he had
reached state Of emotional politeness
They had been together great many
hours. They had met hundred times be
fore, hut the Irishman had no recollection
of it at that period of the morning. They
were parting.
''SOr,' said the Irishman, lit has given
me the complatest delight to mate you
this evening"

pathies and sincere loyalty, and like you.
You are, sor, one OF the most charming
men ever met. You are, indade.

Besides, sor," and the Irishman took
off mis- hat and made a profound bow, Il

Russia's Political Offenders.

When n criminal in Russia is judicially
condemned to a term of penal servitude,
or "katorga," the sentence OF the court
carries with it deprivation of all civil
rights The political offender who incurs
this penalty ceases to be citizen ana
loses at once not ouly all the privileges
and immunities that appertain to his
rank or social station, but also all control
over his property. his family, and his own
person, and all right to claim the protec-
ton of the laws, even when his life Is i'm
perled by the treatment to which he IL
submitted. lie is virtually outside the
pale of the law, and may be dealt with by
the officers Of the state if he were slave.
The fact that the term Of penal servitude
to which he has been condemnedis a short
one does not lessen the force OF this secu-
lar accommodation.
A hard labor sentence of four years di-
vests the criminal of all his civil and pc
litical rights as completely as sentence
to penal seryitude for life The property
which was his before his condemnation
descends 10 his legal heirs as If he were
dead or is sequestere1 by the state. The
family of which he was the head ceases to
belong to him, and the state may assume
the custody of his children. The exemp-
ton from liability to corporal punish
ment, which he has previously enjoyed, Is
taken away from him, and he may be
logged with the rods" or the cat.
Finally, during what is officially known
as the ''period of probation" which lasts
from a year and half TO eight years, he
| Is not allowed 10 have either bed, pillow,
blanket, money, books, writing materials
or communication with relatives; his head
is kept half shaved longitudnally from
the forehead to the nape Of the neck; he
must wear the coarse gray convict dress,
must live on a convicts rations, and must
wear chain and leg letters weighing five
pounds.-George KEENAN, in The Century

What Madc The Tailor Mad.

A Wabash avenue tailor was telling me
the other day OF "A certain Chicago man,
a born rich aristocrat, who returned from
Europe not long since with l2j suits of
clothes, all made in London. OF course
the Chicago tailor didn' like this, and had
several unpleasant remarks to make about
the codishness of n man who would buy
l25 suits Of clothes at once, and was par
ticularly severe upon the un-Americani
unpatriotic purchase Of them in foreign
city was more interested IN knowing
what man could do with l2j suits OF
clothes, and how long they would last
him. We'll" said the tailor, The Will
wear on an average three suits day
None of them will he care to wear more
than ten or fifteen times, and so | reckon
that his present outfit will last him til
he can make another trip TO Europe, per
haps this summer, or at the latest neAi
year. Even in Chicago the London tailor
craze has taken from us some of our most
profitable trade, and in New York the
tailors are finding London competition t'
be quite a serious matter. "-Chicag'

THE ECLIPSE OF HARRISON.

Mr.. Blaine sailed yesterday for his ma
tive land, and his health and muscle re-

joyful ,idings that he will not suffer with
Sea. sickness, but tackle old Neptune by
the white fringe Of his multitudinous
beard and dare him to curl the waves
mountain high, while he stands on The
ouarter. deck with the csptsin. He will
be received in New York Harbor with
grand marine ovation, consisting ol
yachts, tugs, fireworks, brass bands and
salutes.
Then there will be land reception
and speeches and champagne Ia Bel

ton in 1884. On that eventful day there
will occur a total eclipse of HARRISON

disk of the Harrison boom early on the
morning of the 7th Of August, 1883, caus-
ing complete observation that will last
about one week. The umbrs will be OF a
red. widowed color, with spots visible 10
the naked eye.
One able contemporary In noticing the
phenomenon of an eclipse Of the success

that the public rejoicing Is a SIM
cere American tribute to Blaine for be-
ing defeated and saving the country
from another such canvass as we had IN

Marking for Other Men.

All honest men are working for other
men. II a man works exclusively Tor
himself, he is a counterf,Nter, or forger
or sneak thief, or perchance a high
wayman. All love Of industry, all love
of integrity, all love Of kindred, all love
of neighbor, all love Of country and all
love Of humanity is expressed in labor for
others. For this service thus performed
q right to reward is required, and he
for whom the service is performed has
imposed upon him the duty to render
the reward, and the service Is rendered
in the hope of She reward Everywhere
in civilized society men are thus work
ing for others.
Every man. in all the years of his labor,
tolls for his fellow man, and the practice
Is universal among all honest civilized
men, and last from generation to genera
ton; and universal practice is gradually
becoming crystallized into universal habit.
One man is trying TO make better houses
for his neighbors, another man is trying
70 make better shoes for his neighbors,
another man Is trying TO make better laws
for his neighbors, and another man IS try
ing 10 make better books for his neigh
bors. Every man is thus forever dwell
ing upon the welfare Of his neighoors,
and making his best endeavor for theii
good; and thus the habit grows from gen.
Grafton TO generation, until at last some
men forget that there Is reward Tor serV
ice. and labor for their fellow men be
cause they love their fellow men.-Ma1

THE DILEM N 4.

The Republicans In the House and
the National G. U. p Convention de-
termined not to disturb the present
schedule Of war taxes, and they fought.
II hard and put the party on record Tor
war taxes. But the Senate sees that II
must do something because these wise
old heads know more in statesman
ship than the dema9ogues OF
the House. They see that the Nils
bill has been tossed at them from The
other end of the Capitol and that If they
do not do something the party will be obl''
ged to carry the responsibility OF totally
lodging the tariff issue. Thereby the
Democrats would have great advantage
and the onus would be laid on the Repub-
licans of not even considering the Mills
bill.
In political view OF the question the
Democrats have made the positive move
for reform on the line on which the vic
tory of 1884 was won, and II the Repule
)jcan Senate blocks the move the Repub-
licans must stand the responsibility.
The Republican Senators having the
majority of that body understand this
perfectly well, and they propose to do
something that will tighten the weight
on them. II they do not offer tax re-
duction scheme, and go home leaving The
tariff bill as the Republicans of the House
would have them leave IT, they fear that
the President will call them back
exclusively on tariff business. They
would like to 60 away Immediately,
but dare not. II they should re-
fuse to act upon the bill, the House
would probably refuse TO act upon The
usual joint resolution for adjournment
While the Senate is supposed to hold The
House at it, mercy. the majority in the
House has as much power to hold the
Senate as the Senate has disposition to
trife with the House. Senator Farwell
is credited with desire to bring the Sen
ate 10 an early vote on the tariff bill to
be reported, the vote to be taken upon
the substitute for the Mills bill, and upon
the House bill without debate, leaving
the measure in conference committee at
the close of the session.

England, France, Germany, and Italy
has no schools where our youths can be
trained in the arts of navigation, naval
architecture, marine enginery, and all
other branches pertinent to the proper
construction and sailing of vessels 1t is
therefore, gratifying to see that steps are
being taken to resurrect our mercantile
marine and naval supremacy by inculca.
