Cutting a Grizzly,s Claws.


 Monarch, the Examiner grizzly, has been in captivity nearly twenty months, and during all that time has inhabited a 7x12 steel-lined den at Woodward's gardens be- cause the park commissioners have refused to allow suitable quarters to be built for him in the park.
 The steel lining of the den has afforded the bear no opportunity to wear his claws down by scratching, process that goes on continually when such an animal is wan dering at will in the mountains, and, con- sequently, they have grown to such a length as to seriously inconvenience him.
 There days ago the claws on his right paw got crossed and so locked together he could not disentangle them, and Super intendent Ohnimus noticed that Monarch favored that foot as if it was sore, and feared that some serious trouble might de- velop. It was decided that the claws must be cut, and yesterday the operation was undertaken by Mir. Ohnimus, Keeper Daw- son and an Examiner representative.
 Monarch has not been accustomed to the attentions of manicure, and he began to protest as soon as he saw the first pre- parations made. The first step was strength ening the cage, to withstand the assaults that he was sure to make upon the bars, by setting heavy thimbers and braces across the front. The grizzly knew that some interference with him was comtem- plated, and he growled at the carpenters and everybody else who came near his den.
 Then MT. Ohnimus brought out lot of ropes, blocks and other contrivsnces de- signed to restrain the personal liberty

NEGRO sLAvERY,s SUNNY SIDE,
As Seen by Rev. pr. Andrew Pea
 body in 1S44.

:. From the Andover Revisw]
 On the first of May, 1844, landed at Savannah, having sailed thither from Bos- ton in frst-class freighting ship, the ownership of which was divided equally between friend and parishioner of mine in Portsmouth, N. H., and MT. 0. of Sa- vannah. Mir. 0. took me at once to his house, where I saw for several days the sunny side of slavery, and basked in its sunshine, served more sedulously than could have imagined prior to experience, having my shutters closed for me after I went to bed, and opening my eyes in the morning on stalwart negro awaiting my orders. MT. c. was a bachelor, 8 rich merchant, president of the Georgia state ! bank, and elder of Presbyterian church. His house, in one aspect, was the center of the kind of hospitality which we republi- | cans, in our ignorance, call princely, but which has freedom, breadth and gene rosity very much more than princely; and in another aspect it was magnificent ne- | gro boarding house. The census of his black family did not take; but they looked host as caught sight of them in passing the basement windows. Their number, and that of the friends whom they fed, might be estimated from one fact. A large ham of the richest quality and flavor appeared, with soup, fish, roast and game, on the dinner table; few | slices of it, perhaps, at the other meals. MT. 0. told me that three hundred and sixty-fve such hams were boiled in his kitchen every year, and of course when he had no guests the negroes must have had almost the whole of the daily ham at their own disposal, and ham is to the negro what anbrosia was at the table of the

of two arc lights from the front of his flats in Harlem, because they make his rooms uninhabitable by their strong glare, and draw so many insects that his windows cannot be opened in the hottest weather.
 The permanency of Salton lake is becom- ing apparent as time passes without signs of subsistence of the waters. The pre- dicted results from the presence of this enormous body of water in what was be- fore desert are also becoming apparent Rains shave been falling in abundance where formerly they were entirely un- known, especially at this season of the year. Such results support the theory that many of the arid regions in our extreme western and southwestern states may be made productive by letting in the waters of rivers or the ocean, which would be possible and practicable in number of these localities.
 American women are quick witted. Miss Callie Melee, school teacher of America, 8 mountain town of Kentucky, while re
 
 girl pupil, encountered bear. Bruin was quite distance behind Miss McGee, but he started after her. Picking up her charge she ran at full speed, taking off articles of clothing and dropping them from time to time in order to divert bruins attention from her, thereby gain ing that much on him. She finally reached farm house in safety, and, procuring a rife, opened fire on the bear, which then had reached the pig pen, killing him. He weighed 2S7 pounds.
 Grand juries are sometimes not very grand. At the recent Devonshire assizes, in England, the grand jury committed a blunder which petty jury would find great difficulty in excelling. Two men had been indicted for breaking into a public house and stealing aquanity of liquors and cigars. The grand jury threw out the bill for burglary, ignored the bill for stealing, but found true bill against both prisoners for receiving stolen goods. This was ridi- culous, on the face of it, inasmuch as there could be no stolen goods in case where there was neither theft or burglary, and the judge before whom the men were ar, raigned at once ordered their discharge, with words of caustic comment. The best of the joke is that both men were harden ed criminals, and went into court ready to plead guilty.

put when sales are diminishing in import ance, but the cycle trade is run upon lines very different to the majority of staple bus inesses. Another factor in the production of the present crisis is the continued man ufacture of unstable patterns and the ex- perienced firms have in accurately predicst- ing the direction of popular fancy.
 The cycle industry is generally regarded by the conservative manufacturer as an overrated trade, dependent upon the whim of the most fckle section of the public, and benehtting by sn ephemersl popular ity. A long period of uninterrupted pros Perity has failed to convince the sturdy Midlsnders that the making of cycles is the trade for the investment of their money; consequently it Is largely composed of @ most undesirable element-the commercial adventurer. At present the trade is sui fering from too much enterprise and too little reflection, makers exhibiting an over readiness to accept liabilities the risks of which are great and the advantages infni- tesimal, and too many seek success in com petition in the old market rather than in pushing for business further aield. Cycle making is too closely bound up with the fortunes of professional riders for it to as- ] sume the position of a staple industry: makers are too often made the victims of | the psth-riders' fads to secure & steady trade, and so long as machines reputs- ton is dependent upon the holding of the racing record so long will the trade be at the mercy of the pot-hunter and depend ent upon professional riders honor. The makers cardinal failing is that they have made too much of the record breaker, they have also erred in nursing special markets | in lieu of securing an extensive connection; ! to many of them are given to shriek hys- | terically concerning the qualities of their wares instead of proving the adRptability of them to any special purpose. We do not suppose that the present crisis will de- yelop into panic, and we are pleased to assent that there are firms doing well and steadily, but it is certain that the worst has not yet been reached, and the weaker | firms will certainly go to the wall, but the ultimate effect may tend to check reckless speculation and benefit the trade gen erslly by preventing further unnecessary competition.
 4 reputation is not to be made in sin ! gle season, even in the cycle trade, nor is 6 market to be rushed repeatedly with pro fit Those engaged in the cycling industry must regard it as one of the most difficult in which they can trade proftably and | consequently advance cautiously, and par ticulsTly guard against the acceptance of costly risks which offer no compenssting advantage. A slow growth is preferable to 6 phenomenal aggrandizement, and there is A grand future before the cycling industry of this country if it is fostered with earnestness and directed by good English common sense. Let the trade be regarded not as one in which it is possible
 to acquire immediate fortune, but As presenting unparalleled opportunities for earning substantial profits, and it will take its place as a national industry of the frs; importance
