A remarkable exhibition Of NERVE" IN
shooting was given by Colonel Nightingale,
a famous sportsman of India. He had got
a running shot at a tiger from the back o.
his elephant, hitting him in the shoulder.
The beast rushed away and made for some
bushes $50 yards of, whence man emerged
The tiger rushed at him and struck him
down. Tiger and man were in a confused
heap on the ground At tho risk Of hitting
the man the colonel fired and heard the
ball strike bone.
The tiger, with roar, rolled of the mar
and plunged into ravine. The colonel,
conical bullet had carried off the lowe
jaw and fangs Of the brute. No other sho,
would have saved the man, but without
jaw the tiger could not seize him. TIL,

We cannot perceive that there has
been any great improvement In busl.
ness In our city or even throughout
the country the past week, and the
outlook for any great improvement
before next spring is not at all an
eouraglng. In fact, nearly all retailers
are waiting to see what Congress will
do with the tariff before they will give
orders tor any kind Of goods beyond
4 supply for the Immediate or current
demand. So long as this policy shall
be pursued we need not look for any
great Improvement In trade or the EN-.
ployment Of all our people.
1t is true the money market is
easier. and the recent returns from the
railroads are more encouraging.
Though their earnings are consider.
ably less than for the same period last
year. they are much larger than II
September, and the outlook for in
creased trade Is encouraging.
Few improvements, however, are

eertainties OF tariff legislation be re-
moved there would speedily be a re.
