At 20 East Park stree, there is
saloon called the fUruN. The interior
Of the place contains collection of
birds and animals from all parts Of
the world, which are ranged around
the walls in cages. Among the ami
mails is q Young baboon. 1t is vi
cious-looking animal, and visitors are
always careful to keep at 4 good dis

Last Saturday this baboon was re-
leased from its cage for short time,

y = asst am inclined to think
from what I know of the opinion

this will be the way out of our
financial difficulties. A repeal of
the Sherman law, coupled with
the repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on
State bank circulation, and a
graduated income tax. If the

is outside they-paw and moan so
piteously that they attract atten-
tion and are soon allowed to go
together. Their fondling after
such separation as that is amusing.
But the strangest part isyet to
be told. One of them six months
ago commenced growing so stout
as to alarm their owners. The
driver being questioned divulged
some secrets as to what had oc-
Cured some time previously. The
case was then watched and in due
time a pair of colts Il can't say
mule colts or horse colts), came.
They don't look like either horse
or mule, neither. their. grand
parental ancestor, the jack. One
of the colts died two days after
foaling; the other. is healthy,
lively and fine, and is now about
five week sold.
Hundreds of persons are visiting
the stables to see the curiosity. So
far only one old farmer has been
found that ever knew of such an
occurrence before. The question
now is. will this colt be a mule
when it develops? 1t now looks in
body more like a mule, but has
extraordinary small ears and hoofd
like a horse in front: aad like a
mule in the rear.-Colleton Cou-

Killing The Tigers.

The following description Of
Gov. Tillmans first attempt to kill
the blind tigers in Charleston.
and there is said ta be regular
mienagerie of them in that city, is
from the Charleston Sun of July
18th.
The Tillman law came down
with a heavy hand i'll Charleston
this morning.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Chief
Constable Gaillard, aided by a
squad of constables among whom
were tao Charleston men, named
Swan and Pepper, and two from
the country named Jolley and
Chapel, (the nemes of the balance
could not be learned, made their
way to the Amerigo Vespucie sa-
loon, on Market street, kept by
V Chicco, an italian grocer and
former saloon keeper.
The constables informed Chicco
that they had come to seize his
place and arrest him as keeping q
place where intoxicating liquors
were sold. They read to him the
warrant and injunction and served
both papers on him. Chicco was
then arrested and taken to Trial
Justice Milan's office, where he
gaye bond in a blank sum, w K
Brown, the butcher signing the
bond.
The constables were left ir
charge of the place on Market
street under command of Chief
Constable Gaillard. Under the Law
it is said that the State is en-
powered to seize everything in the
place, even including the house
hold effects. A couple of drays
were secured, and work was al
ouce commenced in clearing the
store of it's contents.
1t was not long after the arrest
was made until it become known
that the State officers were at work
A large crowd gathered in front OF
the place, and with keen interest,
watched the proceedings. In a few
minutes the street was impassable
but the crowd made no demonstra-
ton whatever. Two of the con-
stables stood guard at the door,
and permitted no one to pass un-
less permitted to do so by order of
Chief Constable Gaillard.
One of the drays secured, backed
up to the door, and work was COM
menced loading up with cases
of vermicelli. The crowd on the
sidewalk increased, and the men
at work found it difficult to make
their way from the door to the
wagons. Police Officer No 81, hap
pened along. and Chief Constable
Gaillard called on him to keep
the street clear for passage. The
officer. however, found that he had
his hands full, and as soon as he
cleared the passage iE one direc-
tion it, filled up in the other.
