Doctor iHaughton, the curator of the
Dublin geological Society, discovered
that one os the tigers was lame. Upon
examining its paw through the bars of
the cage he fonnd that claw was grow
ing iuwards into the ball of the foot,
causing the Dor brute great agony when
ever he tried tl0 walk. The doctor deter
mined to cut olnt the claw.
Five keepers assisted him, three in
front of the cage and two behind. The
tiger was lassoed, end, much against his
will, tied down, the Eve keepers holding
him firmly with ropN The doctor then
raised the bars, entered the cage and be-
gan operating But he mad forgotten to
guard himself against the tigress in the
cage adjoining. She cohtrTved = reach
him with one paw and knocked OF his
hat. The keepers, seeing this, took
fright and fed, leaving the doctor suaithe
mercy of his patient. TIE tiger jumped
up and prepared to spring, bat the doctor
sprang through the raised bass and plllked
them down. Against them the tiger
dashed, gnashing and foaming with great
fury
The doctor called the keepers together
and reproved them for their cowardice;
then he locked all the doors, put the keys
in his pocket, and said:
II intend to perform this operation
whatever happens You viii fix the
lasso again, but if you let go the rope
this time can escape ami you'u be left
with the tiger.
The men behaved bravely; the trouble
some claw was successfully removed, and
was worn as a scarfpin by the doctor.
From that time, whenever the tiger
heard its friends footstep it would throw
itself on its back, purr, roll aboin 10 at
tract attention, and never be satisfied till
ne recognized it.

The scenes in the dressing room of a
circus are both novel and picturesque.
The huge tent is divided, FIRST into two
main apartments. One is the green room,
as it were, where the ring horses are kept
ready for the riders.
Here the properties are handed out,
and the matron of the wardrobe spreads
outiths glittering covers for the horses
and other paraphernalia that help so
largely to make the circus performance a
spectacle of dazzling beauty.
The other portion of this same tent is
divided up by strips of canvas stretched
from one Of the main poles to the side
walls, forming series Of V-shaped rooms,
one Of which is devoted to the men, an
other to the women, and third to the
ballet girls.
A little post in the center of each, with
looking glass notlarger than onesshand,
serves as common dressing table. where
the paint and powder and other finishing
touches of the make up" are applied.
The clothes are thrown carelessly upon
the tops of trunks, which stand in long
rows against the canvas walls, or are
pinned directly to the canvas itself

Indian Courage.

The annals of no country can show
any savage foe so formidable for hi.
number TO trained regular troops Of the
white race as the American Indian. The
tales of the Sepoy rebellion, replete as
they are with heroic achievements OF
British soldiers, read like absurd fairy
tales to Indian fighters Of our army. The
spectacle, repeated again and again, of
score or so of these Englishmen riding
through as many thousands of opposing
Sepoys, disciplined, an thoroughly sup
piled with the best of firearms would be
a very novel one TO those accustomed ~
the temper of the savage of our owI
continent. Had Captain Jack or Joseph
or Geronimo, with such warriors as they
led, been the sort of foes to attack the
English power in India, the history Of
Delhi and Lucknow would have been
written in far darker characters on the
pages of English history. Self-reliant,
intelligent, fierce in battle, inimitabls
horsemen, armed with the modern rife,
our own Indians have often wagcd sue
cessful battle with regular troops unsur
passed in quality and far outnumbering
them. It is doubtful if even the Cos
sack or Arab can be compared with them
in partisan warfare.

HOOD RIVER, OR, SEPT a. lsaa.
PRIORITY or RIGH7,S.

The company represented by Mr..
Mccoy has filed upon 10000 inches oi
water from the east fork of Hood river
and Ike amount from the west fork.
As the whole river at low water carries
not to exceed $4,000 inches, there is
likely to be a severe dry spell in the
river We called attention frequently
to the danger our people ran in neglect
ing to file on and appropriate water for
irrigating purposes, and fortunately
some 5000 inches We're appropriated
prior to Mr. McCoy's filing. McCoy's
filings are properly made and might
prove source of annoyance, at least,
to all of us, were ii not for these prior
appropriations As 1t is, Mr. Mccoy
VIII hardly care to inv est his money in
a ditch where the people are opposed
TO his scheme, and where no market
would be found for the contents of his
ditch. In this light, and from these
conditions, it is safe to go ahead with
any ditch project, and MIR. McCoy's
rights in the premises win, perhaps, cut
10 figure, as TO maintain them he must
commence work.
