Adventure with a Tiger.
Chambers Journal.

As we walked along through the
jungle failed to keep up with the
other members OF the party, who had
got on some distance ahead, when
suddenly ] heard rustic in the under
wood, and almost at the same mo.
ment an enormous tiger presented him.
self and prepared to spring upon me.
l had never seen q more magnificent
beast. and l could not help admiring
him notwithstanding the danger ofmy
position. But there was no time to
be lost. I Immediately presented my
rifle and fired. As Ill luck would have
it. neither shot struck; and in another
second the tiger was on me and had
thrown me down, his claws buried in
my lett shoulder. had no particu.
are sensation of fear, and remember
thinking quite calmly. as lay on the
ground, the tigers hot breath coming
against my face. "lt's- all up with me
now" But at that moment my faith.
iul little Mungo came to the rescue he
bit the tigers tail so severely, that the
beast Immediately released his hold
and turned round to seize it's new
adversary. But Mungo. as sharp and
wary as he was plucky, was off in the
tall grass in an instant. The tiger
followed; but the dog had the advan.
tage over him, as it could run through
the grass and under the brushwood at
a pace which the other could not keep
up with. In fact it was almost comi.
cal to see how the great creature
bounded about in it's useless chase
after the dog. But knew that the
tiger, disappointed OF seizing Mungo,
would soon be back again to attack
his master; so ! reloaded my gun and
stood awaiting his return. In a short
time he was before me once more; and
again I levelled my gun as we'll as
l could, considering the pain in my
left shoulder. The first shot missed;
but the second struck the tiger in the
shoulder. crippled him, and made him
roll about in agony. Reloadlng as
rapidly us possible, went nearer to
him. aimed very deliberately, and this
time gave him his qu,etus. Scarcely
had ! done so before Mungo came
bounding up to me- looking into my
face. and whining as if with Joy at see.

Bitten by a Cobra: and Lives.
l. ondon Standard.


DIR. Vincent Richards has been grant
ed an experience unique: probably in
the annals OF mankind-f;lirly bitten
by a cobra. he has felt no consequence
es. AT this moment, doubtless, he re.
crets the natural irritation which led
him to kill the reptile. We may safely
assume THAT its fangs were in working
order; but it would have been more
satisfactory to have lad clear proof.
DR.. Richards collected number of
snakes for some experiment-in these
cases one can never be sure what class
OF experiment will turn up. however.
A lively cobra upset the eprogram, fast
ening upon the operators hand. He
laid the finger open TO the bone. above
the wound, and applied permanganate
OF potash-sentlemen of prudent dis
position who consort with snakes
keep such materials handy. Then he
drove of for advice. Er. Macleod and
Sir Benjamin Simpson re.opened the
cash, cauterlzed it with nitric acid,
and the story ends. More than two

may pose, if he thinks fit, as the hero
OF an adventure hitherto unparalleled.
1t is great pity, though, that he de.
stroyed the snake. Perhaps the re.
mains gave sufficient evidence of its
capacity for mischief; but if so, the
report should have mentioned it. We
should like TO know, also, how much
time was wasted in the impulse of in
dignation-but that will never be as.
certained. For all his presence OF
mind. DIR. Richards did not consult
stop watch. probably, in fact, If he
had. the story would have been yet
shorter than it is. In treating the bite
of a cobra a man must work against
time at awful odds, for one pulse beat
which carries the poison into the sys.
stem carries death-at least such is
the impression OF the authorities, and
this case will be immensely valuable
ii it show good reason to think that
the idea is exaggerated.

Theodore Hooks Daughter

From London Letter to Boston Herald.
Recently n paupers grave closed
over the remains of the youngest and
hitherto the sole surviving child of
Theodore Hook-Miss Martha Hook.
Theodore Hook died in Fulham, a
London suburb, fortysix years ago
the Oath day OF last August, at the
comparatively early age of SO years.
His wife died some years previous.
He was one o. those gifted children of
genius vino from his earliest years it
was nearly impossible to instruct in
the regular manner. Precocious and
vivacious, Theodore made the lives of
his tutors very likely to put it mildly.
Therefore his education was ratler
inadequate and came to a dead pause
at Harrow.
During this time his father was
musical director of Vauxhall Gardens
the fashionable louneing resort of the
day. Young Hook began composing
songs and music for tn. gardens with
amazing rapidity. At 16 years of age
the lad wrote a drama. entitled "The
Soldiers Return, (Which was very sue.
cessful. From this on he turned out
farces, vaudeville and songs with be.
wlldering confusion. Other boys were
at school, hard at work over their
lessons, when young Hook was the
talk OF the town, the wit OF the green
room and the boon companion of
actors, literary men and women and
painters. He became o great punster,
his sayings were quoted far and wide:
he perpetrated audacious practical
jokes and became the first society
improvisation of the time. He used
to get from s2O 10 $50 an evening for
his drawing room entertainments,
The money was paid very quietly.
each one OF his hosts being supposed
to have him as a guest alone. 1t was
an immense favor to get Hook to
present himself at an evening party.
and his books We're crowded with en-.
gagements throughout the London
season. He was, in short, the George
Grossmith of his day. He became
a great chum OF the prince ,egent who
sent him in lsl2,to Mauritius as &C.
countant general and treasurer, at a.
salary of over $4,000 per wear.

THE kiRMESSE-

The success Of the first presentation as
we'll as the appreciation Of the kirmesse Is
attested BY the increased attendance last
night at its second production. In the
large audience present were to be seen
many of the leading people OF the city and
their hearty applause and marks OF appre-
ciation.were such as would delight not only
amateurs but professionals Everything
passed of with the same eclat of the pre-
ceding night. and in many respects the en-
tertainment was superior 10 the first.
The Eagle Rifles gave an exhibition
drill, for which they deserve special men
ton and communication. They displayed
considerable proficiency in the manual of
OF arms and also in company movements.
They were given hearty ercore.
Another feature that added greatly to
the endowment of the evening was vocal
solo By Miss Hamblin- This gifted and pop
uIar singer first sang Lognia, By E. Shira,
and on encore, s'Once More We Meet" by
Willings. This is her first appearances
this season and her many friends were de-
lighted TO notice the same sweetness and
richness OF voice that has always dis
tinguished her singing.
The cashmere dance was most graceful
and pleasing and was exceedingly well
given BY Misses Murdoch and Sappenield
and Mr.. Howe So well was it received by
the audience that repetition was demand
ed and given. Another beautiful
scene was the Bedouin serenade as pro-
duced by Mr. Howe and Miss Murdoch
Messrs. Lemon and Skinner entertained
the audience in good style with a planta-
ton dance. They did so well that they
of very pretty girls led by Miss Matte Mead
were twice recalled.
The Spanish dance as given by a number
and Miss Elsie Woodman in elegant cos
TUNES, elected most favorable comment.
The military drill again closed the en-
tertainment. Mrs. Howe certainly has
her company well drilled. At the conclu-
sion the contest drill for first prize took
place The members of the competing
company were:
Capt. Mrs Howe.
Lieut.. Miss York.
Sergeants Jocelyn, Tusch, Lauck, Pope.
