A FEW DAYS ago Rev. Dr. Boutwell, of Brooklyn, N. Y., while pouring medicine from vial held the cork in his mouth. A remark of his child caused him to laugh, and the cork went down his throat with a sudden inhalation of breath, lodging in his lung. All sorts of efforts were made to withdraw 1t, including the making of cork-screw instruments, and cutting into his lung from the outside. Nothing avail ed, and he died of the irritation on Sun day last. The case has excited much interest among the doctors, and filled a large space in the daily papers.

ONE would think to read the papers that the U. s. government was on the brink of financial ruin because of it's iber- slity in pensioning soldiers. If any of the croakers have government 4 per cents which they wish to unload they will have no difficulty. Uncle Sam has little credit left, and won't lose his reputation by doing for the-veterans part of what was promised them in 1861.
 IN few towns the ballots were recount ed at the expiration of the term of six months from election. In Norwich, 4th district, was found just what was expect ed from discrepancy between the official count and the check list-that 43 votes too many had been counted for the dem ocratic state officers. The recount tallies exactly with the check list. There were slight errors in several other towns. Of course the recount has no legal weight merely satisfies curiosity.

fight when brought into the ring for prac>
tice to-day. They are handsome and
spirited animals. Three, black as let. came

once belonged to the Russian car; two,
snow white, formerly shared with his
harem the affection OF the sultan at Con-
stantinople, and the other two are superb
Arabians.
Their 'act" consists OF number of eyo i.
lutions, and then, as the others retire to
their stalls, the swift-footed messengers of
the desert engage In a friendly sparring
match with gloves fastened to their fore
feet.
When the stations entered the ring to-
day, the Arabians at once reared and began
striking at each other. The other six be-
came excited aud started fres fight re
gardless of Marquis of Queensberry rules.
They kicked, plunged, fastened their teeth
in each others withsrs, fell down, were
trampled upon and fairly shreked with
pain aud rage. The tanbark flew Ia all
directions. and striking other spirited ami
mails in neighboring stalls, made them
plunge and neigh.
The noise alarmed the elephants next door
and they trumpeted loudly, while the roars
and howls of the lions and tigers aud other
animals in the cat room were soon added to
the din.
Ringmaster O'Brien's shouts were uns
needed. He thrashed the stations with his
long whip. Four of his assistants went at
the fighting brutes with long bale sticks
and pounded right and left G. w. Fish
and William ODale, two bareback riders,
added their shouts aud gesticulations to
help quell the battle.
Mr.. O'Brien finally compelled the enraged
stations to recognize him as master, and
after few desultory kicks they quieted
down. Mr.. 0'Brien wiped the perspiration
and tanbark from his forehead, saying:
That's the worst break they have ever
made. Surplus accommodating vitality for

from the Infatuated creature when brought
to bay. On the return to camp some one
discovered cub that could not have been
more than a few days old frolicking in the
sun on top of large-sized bowlder. Sup
posing it TO belong to the tigress they had
just killed, it was resolved TO take it homo
and adopt 1t as a pet. This was accordingly
DONE and the little creature, which seemed
quite content with its surroundings, aud
was as playful as kitten, was attached by a
slender chain to the pole of one of the tents.
