however, for his slender but powerful body
was already in the air, springing toward the

ture gave piteous CRY, and the mare began
to revolve about the two like mad crea-

assistance with her heels for fear of striking

close to the ear of the puma, but as pulled
the trigger it turned its head, snarling
viciously, though without releasing its hold
on the colt, and the bullet failed to infict
wound in vital part, but, glancing, tore q
long cash along the neck. At this the lion
sprang up, and with yell of fury, threw

freely, for he seized my arm in his teeth.
and, but for the thick buckskin jacket I
wore, would have beyond doubt torn my
arm to pieces. Even as it was, the flesh was
fearfully gripped and bruised; but, FORUM
ately. it was my left arm, SO with my right
hand I caught the puma by the throat, and
exerting all my strength, I succeeded in

only at coming off with my life in such
desperate fight, but in the possession of so
I'splendid trophy Of my prowess. I incau-

on victory not yet won, for taking me off
guard, the puma recovering itself in mo-

completely upsetting my equilibrium by
the suddenness of the attack, we fell heav-
lily to the earth. The lion crushing my
right arm with its weight, and the left so
it, was at the mercy Of my desperate foe,
who buried its great head under my throat.

of the dripping mouth touched me, and
waited for the sharp, cruel teeth to tear my
flesh, when the blood-shot EYES grew CLASSY,
the long, sleek body quivered .convulsively
all along its length. and with q low whimper
the puma rolled off me dead. The pistol
shot in his body which had deemed with

though the desperation of the lion had en-
abled him to fight death off for while, it
had conquered just in time to save me.
II had to go home for a wagon to take
my colt back. for both of its forelegs were
broken, and its back torn considerably by
the puma's claws, though it ultimately re-
covered. The lion went home in the same
wagon, much to the alarm of both the colt
and mare. could not help feeling amused
at the mare, though, for she seemed to un-

pade had caused, and her endeavors to show

THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

I'm the European cloud Of war;
I'm never out of sight.
! don't know what they keep me for
Tn y never have n fight.
But I'm forever on the list;
At every passin hap
They tell me I'd be sadly missed
1t were not on tsp.
A chancellor may quit his jolt,
A prince his land displease,
Or friendly notables hob-nob.
The queen may slightly sneeze,
The king may slightly crook his thumb
At czRr or emperor,
And trouble r.ainiy will come
Behold the cloud of war;"
I've lowered over Europe here
Until I'm tired out;
I'm now chestnut old and scar,
But yet TIM talked about.
The ne=smakers in me DELIGHT,
For they know what I'm for.
When news ie scarce they always write
About the cloud Of war.

The Proper study OF tho Scriptures.

The bible ''as she is taught" in Sunday
schools and pulpits ia not suitable for in
PRODUCTION to public schools nor for the
academic curriculum. The bible as it will
be taught from university chairs by teach
will be discovered to be science neither
for nor against any particular religious
faith, but. like all other sciences. running
parallel to religious teaching. That there
is abundant room for instruction in biblical
science over and above the drctrinal and
catechetic teaching of religious instructors
in all our educational institutions should
be sufficiently manifest.
1t is science, the logical and orderly

Children's Ideas About Skeletons.
Not long since, in Cambridge. Mass. son

teachers were talking about Longfellow's
skeleton in Amor as q school exercise,
when it was suggested that some of the
children might not know what skeleton
is. One of the tescAers put the question. 10
her pupils, and among the written answers
to it were the following: a. When any
body dies the flesh dries up to the bones
and makes skeleton. (2.) A skeleton is
bones in the museum. (3) When you die
a doctor can make skeleton of you. az
When you grow into skeleton you are sent
to Harvard college to practice on.

The telegraph operators in
Great Britain are about to strike.
Anything that requires as much
brain work as telegraphy ought to

Editor Entefptdst-DFAR SIR
You will confer favor upon me
and my ilieL dis ly publishing the
II llt wirg, which will explain why
I came out second best in the ex-
amiIations 10th for West Point
and Annapolis.
In the examination at Carson
for West Point on June End and
Bird, everything was against me,
because l was late, and also the
Examiners were all Carson men.
consequently / had no friend, as
we can see that Carson won, and /
am satisfied that they determined
that wav, for the reason that / was
not allowed anything for being
late, for which they said they
would allow something, but they
could not do so as / was only 2
ST. behind the victor.
The examination for Annapolis,
in which / had the pleasure OF par
ticipating, was unsatisfactory to
me for which I will give reasons:
/ believe that all aspilants for the
aforesaid positions should be left
entirely alone by the Examiners.
Now. Mr.. Editor, / have but one
objection to make to the examin-
ers, and that objection is Mr..
Bray, of the Fourth Ward school.
The boy who has apparently
beaten me, and who is my inferior,
physically and intellectually, which
/ can prove If necessary, was
brought to Reno by Professor
Bray and was visited in his room
In the hotel by him at IL o'clock
p. NJ. The successful applicant
travelled Reno and it's outskirts
on several occasion in close con-
versation with Mr. Bray, and was
also found in close conversation
during intermissions. Last but
not least, he was Mr.. Bray's pu-
pill and was well posted and
coached by him. Now, it looks
as if it was hard to get square
deal, and il I try for these perfer-
ments in the future, / will first
have to be assured that the trial
Is not a farce.

lations during the day, including
those OF President DiaZ. There
was reception at TIC American
Legation on grand scale. The

fine and the music was by military

his Cabinet and the foreign Min
listers were represented.
All the newspapers make refer
ence to the independence Of the

Tombstone daily prospector., 1890-08-28

THE Ciuzen of last night joins the Mohave Miner in the belief that some thing is going to happen Co Governor WolHey. It goes one step further and intimates that he has been removed. This would be nothing surprising. In these days of political buucomb man must needs be an expert politician, able to cement differences, shut inc mouth of the blackmailer with a wad of patronage, and be no, servant oi the people, but their slave. This is the reason why business men will not meddls with politics, and no one can blame them. If Governor Wolney should suffer for his sins of omission in not having filled the gaping mouths of hungry hangers-on it would be nothing strange. This may be said 10 be the hell Of politics. The heaven is never reached.

He Wants to Know Why Dixon Won't Put
Up Money and Fight.
NEW YORK, November Z.-Cal Mccarthy is
indignant because George Dixon and his
hacker, Tom o'Rourke, have ignored his $500
deposit which was placed in the hands of Jimmy
Wakely by John Kelly about ten days ago. Nc
Carthy wishes to know why Dixon did not cover
his money instead of going to Boston and
placing a deposit with the Police Net0s. HE
is in this city aud so am l." said Mccarthy. II
doubts as to the feather-weight championship.
If Dixon means business he will cover my
deposit at once"
Tom O'Rourke was seen last night He
said: Captain Cook has been the stakeholder
of the majority of the battles that have been
fought IN the East OF recent years. He has
held the stakes of nearly all the battles that
have had to do with. and that was my motive
for selecting him in this instance. l was not
aware that Mccarthy had a deposit up until
tonight but he can easily transfer it il he
wishes TO. l had $500 deposit up with the
Police NetUS for Mccarthy to cover to fight
Dixon for prior to Dixon's departure for Eu-
rope. Mccarthy failed TO cover it, and the
match fell through l would prefer to leave
my deposit in Captain Cooks hands, under the
circumstances"
John Kelly was also seen. He said: II am
willing to back Cal Mccarthy against George
Dixon and have posted $500 with Jimmy
Wakely for Dixon and his friends to cover.
would prefer the battle to take place under the
auspices of the Puritan A. C., which organiza-
ton has offered s. 500 purse for a meeting be-
the champion, and he can get all the backing
necessary right in this city. feel confident he
can whip Dixon, and if the latter means bust
ness he will stop making capital by assuming
try to win it from the acknowledged feather
weight champion of the world"
