BULL AND PYTHON.
Story OF Right to the Death In the
south African Mountains.

Story OF Right To the Death In the
south Airiotn Mountains.
Last Sunday week ono of the most
remarkable scenes on record Ia report
cd as having been Witnessed in the VI
entity OF Table mountain. A troop Of
cattle consisting of twelve COWS and .
patriarchal old bull. were grazing OF
one OF tho platean-like spurs of tho
mountain, which Is surrounded on
three sides by PERCEPTIONS ravines, and
ON the fourth side, that nearest thu
mountain. by dense bush. Some ma
tivos higher up the mountain were at
tracted By the sudden Following of the
cattle, and saw two enormous pythons
coming out of the bush aud making for
the cattle, which had drawn themselves
up In compact group with the bull al
its head, As the pythons drew near the
animals gradually backed until they
stood on small space that jutted out
over n tremendous procipice.
At this stage sudden rush was made.
but only one heifar succeeded in escap-
ing. Tho other cattle, believing most
piteously, gradually backed, and one
by one fell over the precipice till final
ly the bull ouly was loft. He suddenly
charged ut the big python transhxtng
the reptile ON his horns. but tho SEQ
ond snake seized the bull in its folds
and. having it's tail around huge
boulder. commenced to crush the bull,
which. moaning piteously, struggled
frantically to escape. The tail of tho
python lost its hold OF tho rock, but
the larger snake. which had slipped OF
the horn. tapping its tail around a
smaller boulder opposite the one the
other snake had just released, seized
tho bull aud compressed the animal in
its scaly fold. The other python sue
eeeded in regaining It's former position,
and the bull was literally suspended
in mid air by the snakes. The whole
scene looked like some CHASTITY tri-
umphal march. The snakes were evil
IDENTITY getting the best OF tho poor
brute, which was bleeding profusely.
when, by IA sudden effort, his struggles
forced both reptiles to loose their hold
of the rocks and the whole three were
hurled into the raviue beneath.
The cattle were found on the first
ledge OF the precipice. all being dead
but the bull and the pythons had
bounded from ledge to ledge, and were
found 400 feet below the scene of the
fight The bull was merely mangled
mass and the snakes were greatly
mutilated. the larger one having the
vertebrn broken in nino places The
pythons, which were OF the rock
species, male and female. measured
respectively 40 feet inches and 80
feet 81 inches. Natal Witness.

The Swedish King Enjoys a Rumpus While
Travelling in Spain.

The Swedish King Enjoys Rumpus While
Travelling in Spain.
The King of Sweden is relating with
much relish an amusing adventure
which befell him recently in Spain. It
appears that while his Majesty was
travelling between Cordova and Madrid
in the dead of night, occupying sleep
ing-car in the express train, mana
most respectable tradesman Of the
former place-awakening from his
slumbers by the train stopping at a
station, alighted in the belief that he
had reached his destination. On dis
covering his error he attempted to
regain the train, but was too late.
Not to be done, however, he tore along
the line after the train and succeeded
in reaching it and, jumping on the
foot-board, wrenched open the first
door to hand and found himself in the
presence of King Oscar and his suite,
who were slumbering peacefully.
The unhappy man, seeing the gilt
tering uniforms hanging about the
dimly lighted car, guessed at once
whore he was and was on the point OF
beating retreat in sheer despair
when suddenly his Malest!
awoke and, seeing stranger IN
the car, shouted Justify to his
companions, "Brigands!' and pounceo
upon the unlucky individual, followed
by the Swedish Ambassador and
equerry and, Selling him, began to 'eel
for arms. His hand touching some
thing hard, his Majesty shouted
Here is a trabucca!' and drew from
the intruder's pocket a long-neckeu
flask filled with manzanilla. Mean
while the train had stopped anu' Vic
officials arriving upon the scene 'Ae
man was questioned and, having "
last recovered from his terror al s'rus,
Cling with a crowned head, eXpIaiheu
and, after profuse apologies on oo'l
sides, returned to his own car ".'''

moncr and Glass. Worker, President James
Campbell, President Of L. A. 800, X. Of
L., Window Glass Workers, explains the
recent importation Of men for the tank
glass works ut Jeanette.
Mr.. Campbell says that foreigners
were invited TO come over to be EN-.
ployed in the works because the home
supply was not equal to the demand.
The owners of the works applied to the
Assembly Of glass.workerS, preferring
home union labor to foreign labor or to
non.union labor. Tho men brought
over belong to the Universal Federation
aud displace no home labor. Moreover,
the foreign workmen were not under
contract withanybody.

The Prevent sugar AIarkot.

The American Grocer, in It's issue Of
June 5, has very interesting review Of
the sugar market, II says; "The mar.
ket for raw sugar is ut the highest point
II has reached for years, and has been,
during the past week, active at advanced
prices, The consumption OF sugar for
the first five months OF 1850 was AZ, 100
tons, against 402,4S tons for the same
time in 1885,"
The Shipping aud Commercial lZisi OF a
recent date says; 1.-THE feature OF the
grocery market has been the further adj
vance established in the value Of both
raw and refined sugar, with a fresh
quickening in the demand for the latter,
which has absorbed the accumulation
and afforded an opportunity for increas-
ing production, Every renewal OF the
demand for raw sugar seems only TO de-
Velop the strength Of the situation aud
establish higher level Of values, which,
contrary to expectations, fail to bring to
the surface any hidden supplies. Every
revision OF the statistics only emphasizes
the fact that the worlds visible supply
will all be required for actual consump-
ton between now and the commences
ment Of the new crop year, Very much
higher prices than now prevail seem to
be inevitable when the season OF the
heaviest consumption arrives"
