An Adventure With rIrsru,

The Calcutta Englishman reports that
Mr.. GAbbett, District Engineer at Abu
Road, bad remarkable adventure with
tigers lately. He was travelling between
Abu Road and Rob when one of the
gatekeepers gave him warning Of O family
OF tigers IN an adjoining Jungle, and Mr..
Gabbett, accompanied by his travelling
companions and the Cd gatekeeper,
started at once for the scene of opera
lions. He had not long to wait before
three fine tigers broke cover, and he
dropped the foremost dead with we'll
directed shot. He then hit the next one,
but the brute managed to make off
towards river-bcd IN the vicinity. Mr.
Gabbett then had shot at the third, and
succeeded in wounding HIN badly, but
the animal beat a retreat iuto cave hard
BIZ. In the meantime the tiger, which
had gone towards the river-bed, fell in
with shepherd, whom he mauled rather
badly. Mr.. Gabbett opened fire on the
animal, which was hit and rolled over,
but charged, aud was hit twice again.
Mr.. Gabbett was aiming another shot
when his foot slipped and he fell, and the
Infatuated beast dealt him blow on the
head which made MIN insensib.e. The
old gatekeeper very pluckily attacked
the tiger with his sword but only diverted
the fury of the animal to himself. The
brute ielied him to the ground with n
stroke of the paw ard then returned to
Mr. Gabbett. This diversion saved thu
gentleman's life, for the tiger only sue
ceeded In clawing him slightly and then
fell dead. A fourth tiger also appeared
on the ecene, but did not msest any one
Mr. Gabbe.t was taken to Abu Road, a.
at last accounts was progressing iavora-
bly,. The poor old gatekeeper has cue
cnmbed, however.

DIDN'T Co Worth a Cont.

At Kingston. N. Y. according to the
freeman, an italian was exhibiting 4
dancing bear on the street, when visitor
from the suburbs gave him ave cents to
see the performance. The Italian took
the money, but refused to make the bear
dance I'll he had received another
nickel. This angered the farmer. He
jumped from bis wagon and told the
man he must elthsr make the bear dance
or pay back the five cents. The Italian
refused to do either, and made a move
ment as If to draw something from his
pocket. The farmer struck the bear tanner
blow between the eyes which knocked
him down. When The Italian regaincd
his feet be pulled tie muzzle from the
bears mouth aud told the bear to Ego
for him." The bear sprang at tho man
rs If to hug him, but the farmer coolly
took bruin By the throat with such a grip
that the animal gasped for breath and
became completely cowed, SO that when
the farmer lootened his hold the bear ran
back shaking it's head. The farmer then

A despatch from Spring Valley, III.

reduction oil wages, and eucceede In
getting the men who worked the machines
In the middle vein to quit work.
PiTrsBuRG, Pa, May 4 lit is said that
Andrew Carnegie will order several i'm
partant changes TO be made in the system
of work and the wages paid at a large
number of his plants. He will make an
effort to rqu- lie matters, the object
being to beuelt both the lrm and that
class of employees who do not receive
enough money ia proportion to what
others receive and the work they do. The

Necessary by the TACT that while ma

been retained, aud It is claimed hat the

The Street and Sewer Commission,
or at least two out Of the three mem
beers. showed last evening, by refusing
70 second Mr.. Murray's resolution,
that it is their intention to avail them
selves of the 'rider" that was sneaked
through the Legislature during the
closing hours. We have no very
special objection to the different de-
partments of the city having the
power to deposit their appropriations
IN any of the banks, but we do Object
70 the manner in which this bill was
passed. 1t establishes bad precedent,
and we can have no security hereafter
against any kind of legislation that
scheming men may choose 10 spring
upon us in the closing hours of a SEES
hon. Had the members known the
purport of this "rider" it would never
have been passed, and the fact that II
was passed shows that 1t Is possible tC
snhict anything upon US in the way o.
. rider" TO an omnibus bill. We
however, trust that this will prove 8
warning to future Legislatures.

The beneficial effects OF COOL hotels on
cities and towns was illustrated in the
case OF Asheyille, N. c., which now has q
population Of 5000 people, and Is rapidly
growing. Until few years ago It was Il
quiet place, with little business, but
noted fog It's healthiul location. An pn-
terprising capitalist built splendid hotel
at Asheville, and made 1t An "all-the
year-rouud' resort for visitors. This
hotel succeeded admirably and other fine
hotels were built AS consequence,
Asheville had last year AZ, Gas visitors,
and the average stay OF each visitor was
five weeks Of these &c, los stopped al
the four leading hotels, where the charge
is from 50. so to Is per day. OF the re-
maindei, 10, SO stopped at hotels and
boarding houses where the charge Il
from 81. 50 TO s. per day. TIE remaining
Z, $50 stopped at hotels aud boarding
houses where the charge is from 81 Il
81 so per day. More than half the housri

The Board of Education will be

OF ground 5x25 feet, on which an an.
nual tax of "a cents is paid, constl-

The intention of the trainers of the law
10 exclude from membership all except
bona fide property holders, men who

Interested in its welfare, but as the
law does not specify the amount OF
property a man must hold, we pre-
rune that the owner of 1876 square feet
Of ground is as much entitled to seal

II this is good law we cannot see why

The plan which is now proposed in
Boston for assisting Ireland, is one of
the best yet. 1t is proposed to estab
fish factories in the poorer districts,
where evicted tenants can obtain en-
ployment, these factories to be run by
Joint stock companies. 1t is thought
that the shares can be sold in this
country, and while it is not expected
shat the scheme will prove paying
Investment in financial sense, those
who invest their money will have tho
satisfaction of knowing that they are
helping these poor people 10 help
themselves. just as long rs money
ls sent to Ireland and given TO the
people, just that long pauperism and
idleness will be encouraged. The day
was when Ireland had many mills
and factories, but these were crushed
out of existence by British free trade
At that time Ireland was prosperous
and her people contented and happy
a revival OF these industries may be
the means of restoring that prosperity
and raising the people from the pauper
Ism to which many of them have been
driven.

He had no time to make an examination,
for the beast grasped him and an en-
counter followed. Sheppard rot the

reducing the latter TO insensibility when
two men, who had been sleeping in dis.

and, rushing to the scene, separated the

the animal was tame bear and belonged

The Government has provided tomb
stones for every soldier and sailor who
served in the United States Army or

men who are buried in the cemeteries

rived last fall and were taken in

expense is borne by the Government,

The revenue from the City Court ia
now sufficient to justify Council in
furnishing Mayor Harrington with one
or two special detectives, whose bust.
ness il would be to see that the laws
are enforced and violators brought to
Justice. There are certain kinds of
police work that cannot be done by the
regular officers, no matter how efficient
they may be, and this fact is recognized
in almost every other city by the en-
ployment OF detectives. A detective
should not be known by any one ex-
cept the Mayor and Chief OF Police,
for Just as soon as he does become
known his usefulness is, in great de-
gree destroyed A shrewd detective
can, as general rule, obtain sufficient
evidence to convict an offender with
out being seen in it himself If we art
not mistaken there is something due
