The PipL,arned Caution.

AT country station on one of our
railways pig used to BE- II constant
visitor, and drove thriving business
in picking up stray grains ofcorn which
dropped from the bags as they We're
loaded on the cars. One day the pig s
greed so far Ovcrmastered his discre-
tion that his tail got nipped between
the bralieshoe and the car wheel, and
when the car started the tail was jerked
out by the roots. The victim of this
sudden catastrophe was now confronted
with the dismal prospect of having to
navigate through the rest of life With
his steering apparatus total wreck.
He continued coming to the station
after that. but whenever he heard the
clatter of an approaching train he hur-
ried off to "A safe distance and backed up
close against brick wall till the cars
had passed; he WIS never going to per-
nit himself TO be subject to the risk of
such an indignity again, even though
there was no longer any tail left To be
pulled out. He had acquired sufficient
railroad experience to appreciate the
magnitude Of the loss of terminal facil-
tiles,

The Calf That Thought.

Greenville IN. C.) Reflector: We
learn that an amusing incident oc-
Cured at the home OF Mr.. S. M. Jones,
near Bethel, last week. Among his
cattle was a calf that seemed to possess
great dislike to being roped at milk
ing time, and always made quite IA to do
when the rope was adjusted. One morn
ing Mrs. Jones went out to attend the
milking, and upon looking in the accus-
toned place for the rope failed to find
it, While the search for it was going
on the calf thought, perhaps, to get
more than his share of the milk, but
something seemed to interfere with tn e
imbibing process, and his peculiar ac-
tions attracted attention to him, where
upon it was discovered that the calf had
swallowed the rope, but failed to make
complete job of it, as the moose was
hanging from one corner of his mouth.
The moose was laid hold of and steady
pull brought the rope to light. The
! calf is sufficiently amused and doesn t
| swallow any more ropes to evade being
tied.

The Mecklenburg VA Democrat
says: A gentleman tells us that in
company with another, he was walking
along the banks of IL stream when their
attention was drawn to noise near
them in the water. 1t was ascertained
that the noise was caused by a fight be-
tween II monster spider and frog.
Whenever the two would come together
the spider would seize the frog with his
poisonous fangs; the frog would then by
a supreme effort shake the enemy OIL
and hop away to peculiarly y-looling
plant which grew near, and after biting
off portion of its leaves and eating
them would return to the combat with
renewed energy. The two gentlemen
watched this interesting combat for n
long time, when one of them concluded
he would keep the frog away from the
plant, which it seemed to be using as an
antidote for the poison of the spider
So when the frog. as usual, started for
the plant after being bitten, he kept
him away; the poor fellow made frantic
efforts to get ut it but was prevented,
and in a few moments the poison OF the
spider, not being cOunteracted, took
effect and the poor frog expired i'm
mediately.

A Battle With Weasejs.

A most unusual occurrence happened
the other day on the farm of II. w. Gov
ington. near the city, says the Bowling
Green (Ky.) Times. A Mr.. Johnson and
a negro who works on the farm found in
the woods II flock of twenty-five or
thirty weasels. They We're all together
and seemed to recognize the fact that in
union there is strength. as they showed
a disposition to hold their ground when
approached by the men and showed
fight, all drawn up in battle array.
This will seem incredible to most peo-
pie, but it is nevertheless quite true, ;s
Mr.. CovingtOn himself investigated the
report given him by the men, and found
it correct by seeing the weasels with his
own eyes. The weasel, us is known, is a
small animal about six inches long, and
by no means common in this section,
but it seems there is II colony of them
on Mr.. Covingtons farm, and more,
perhaps, than are contained in all the
rest of the country.

An Unpleasant Battle.

John Granger, Newark peddler,
was attacked by a bald eagle on high
hill near Martinville, MiddleseX county,
N. j., few evenings since, says the
New York Herald, He was driving
down the hill, when he saw the bird
fly into a tree. AS he drew near he
fired at the eagle with his revolver, but
as the bullet went wide of the mark he
fired again. The result was the same,
but the bird became enraged and
swooped down with talons spread and
beak distended.
The bird circled above the horse,
which broke into a run and went dash
ing through bushes and over rocks at
breakneck speed. Granger with diff
Guilty kept in the buggy until the foot of
the hill was reached.
Here one of the wheels struck a log
and the horse was brought. to halt.
Granger jumped from the vehicle and,
crouching under it, fired at the eagle
as it came down with mighty swoop

She Has Eight iv ~.

Ansonia Mass. Ser tinel: There is a
cat on Derby hill that deserves to live
until she dies natural death and iudg
ing from the past she will do so. When
a kitten few years since she was run
over by butchers cart, but escaped
serious injury. Lately, as she was
growing old, it was decided to have her
killed. A neighbor who owned a shot
gun was found who would do the deed,
and the arrangements were made for
execution. The daughter left the house
and went to q neighbor's, the mother
shut herself up in the chambers, while
the head of the house went to the barn,
urgent business demanding his atten-
ton. The report of Il gun followed.
''Have you killed him?" said voice
from the barn. ITO be sure [ have"
said the eXecutloner. Il never shoot
except something has to die" A shovel
was procured and a grave dug, and poor
pussy dcpo sited therein, and the dirt
carefully pressed down over the same.
The eXecutioner departed with his gun,
and the mother went and called the
daughter, and was telling how poor
pussy died without pain when they
came in sight of the doorway, and there
on the doorstep, us contented as could
be, sat the cat that was dead, licking
the dirt off her fur, which was badly
rutiled. The grave was visited and
found empty. The cat was only stunned
by the report of the gun and, comm g
to, had dug herself out. The family
now declare that no more attempts shall
be made to kill the feline.

The Hotel n Certainty.

Messrs. Secrist and Wells, of the Chicago
hotel syndicate, arrived in the city Friday
evening and were closeted with the hotel
committee the greater part of yesterday and
last evening. The session was strictly pri
vate, and no outside parties were admitted
Mr.. Secrist was seen by Il BEE, representative
and expressed himself as highly pleased with
the outlook. He said that the syndicate
would begin work as quickly as possible after
the final selection of site was agreed
upon.
He stated that wherever the choice might
be, the tenants would be Immediately noti-
fed, and as soon as they could vacate the
premises, the work of tearing down would
begin. All work would be pushed so as to
get the building enclosed and steam heating
apparatus in working order before cold
weather, and the structure would b. ready
for business in the spring. He thinks that IA
good hotel will pay here, and is satisfied
with the encouragement and support held
out by the citizens for the establishment of
such an enterprise.

people who were strangers to him he offered
to come to Council Bluffs with Marshall, and
clear the matter up. He arrived here Friday
afternoon. Yesterday morning Officer
O'Brien was found and together they went
to Justice Schurz' office, where the matter
was fully explained and the uDintentional
wrong righted.
The young man who has been thus uniustly
charged was raised in Mills county and is
known to many of the residents of this city
as perfectly honorable man. No blame can
attach to any one in the matter and surely
Mr.. Hildreth may rest assured that the con-
fidence of his acquaintances is in no way
shaken by this unfortunate transaction.

Sunday there were millions OF cells,
small fry, headed to the north, where
they can grow to the long three and
four footers, says a Boston exchange.
Little pools of water beside the fshway
were literally alive and black with
great masses of them, which could not
seem to be accommodated in the trick
ling streams, and so they crawled like
snakes upon the damp earth, or, hug
ging to the moistened sides of the fish
way, pushed on toward the summit.
The advance Of the procession was not
far from the top, while long lines could
be seen coming in from the river and
worming their way along in the wake
of the advance guard. An enemy in
the shape of dog was, however, at
tacking the eels furiously. When per-
sons would lift the squirmers up by the
double-handful, the dog, little Scotch
terrier, would devour them with great
