When Pezon the lion tanner, was at MOS
COW with his menagerie he had occasion to
employ a mouiik, fine specimen of Co.'S
sack. to clean out the cages of the wild
b, asts. The Cos.ack did not understand q
word Of French. and the terms of the con-
tract were settled in dumb show. By way
of instructing him in his new dulies. Pezon
went through a sort of pantomime with the
broom, sponge and water bucket. The
mouiik watched him closely and appeared
to fully understand the details of the lessons
given. Next morning, armed with broom,
bucket and sponge, he opened the first
cage he came to aud quietly stepped in, as
he had en- his master step on the previous
day into two cages of harmless brutes, but
this one happcnd to be tenanted by aspien-
did but untamed tiger. that lay stretched
on The floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and clos
ing the door the creature raised its head and
turned its green eyes full on the man, who
all unconscious of his danger, stood In q
corner dipping his big sponge to i g buck
ct. AT that moment Peznn came out OF hi,
caravan and was struck dumb by the terri
Bile sight that met his gaze. What cnuld
he do to warn the man of his danger? A
sound, movement on his part, might en-
,a,,e The graaf boast and hasten lis attack
on the defenseless Cossack. So Pezon
stood, awaiting developments, ready &c rush
to the scene when the crisis came. The
moujiS, sponge in hand coolly approached
the tiger and made readyt to rub him down
with the stoldity of military bootblack
polishing his captains boots.
The sudden application of cold water to
its hide evidently produced very agreea-
bic effect on the tiger, for it began to purr
stretched out its paws, rolled over on It's
back and complacently offered every part Of
its body TO the vigorous treatment of the
mouiik, who went on scrubbing with might
and main. All the while Pezon stood there
with his eyes wide open, and ~ if nailed Il
the spot. When he had finished his job thu
Cosssck left the cage as quietly as he hat
entered it, and it required the most ener
getic and expressive gestures on the part o
the lion tanner to prevent his repeating tn
experiment on a second wild beast.

memories of Patrick Henry, Randolph, OF
Roanoke; Prentiss, of Mississippi; Web
ster, of Massachusetts, and Clay, of Ken
lucky, will fade as twilight mets beneath
the moon. His name is Clark-Champ
Clark and he halls from the Ninth district.
He is one of those orators who never made
n note or memorized a speech in their lives.

does not know when he rises what he in

widely in men than in books-but sufii.
