Assemblyman Suffers attempts TO amend the
rOllcal and the minutes Of the Assembly yester
day were properly defeated, and the question
whether Schillinger voted on Thursday or not
was referred TO the judiciary Committee The
evidence appears to be conclusive that Schil

attempted to make it appear later that he had
not done so. The statement made yesterday by
Mr. OGrady, who WAS in the chair when the
trouble began on Thursday. is important 1t Is
the duty Of the Assembly TO deal sharply with

A Few Interesting Facts Concerning the
 Strength of the Lion.

A Few Interesting Facts Concerning the
 Strength of the Lion.
 1t is the opinion of tanners that the tiger is more to be feared than the lion. One will kill man with as much ease as the other: but the lion gives fair warning of his murderous intenl tion by rushing at his victim with 8 roar, whereas the tiger, true repre- sentative of the eat tribe, comes sneak ing up with the mblance of an affec- tionate purr, only to set his fangs, with sudden spring. into the very lite of his victim The lion has somewhat greater muscular power than the tiger, but the latter has greater quiekness. Tn intelligence they are about equal: and in general it may be said that a, full-grown Nubian lion and a full grown royal Bengal tiger teach, say, four years old are fair match. It would be an even guess which would kill the other.
 A lion can drag q carcass weighing one thousand pounds with his fangs. The strength of the muscles of the back is wonderful. If d lion and a strong horse were to pull in opposite directions the horse would pull the lion backwards with compar7 ative ease; but if the lion were hitched behind the horse and facing in tho same direction and were allowed to exert his strength in backing he could easily pull the horse down upon his launches, so much greater is his strength when exerted backward from the hind legs than in forward pulling. A lion springing through the air from q distance of six feet would knock down horse or bullock with q single blow of his fore arm, backed by the momentum of his three hundred pounds weight l full grown lion in the jungles will jump twenty-five or thirty feet on the level from a running start. In captivity the same lion would clear d distance of about half as great. 4 lion can jump over q fence eight or ten feet high, but not at a bound lie catches first with his fore legs and drags his body after him
 Tigers will jump a triae higher than this. But of all wild animals the leopards are the greatest jumpers, be- ing able to hurl their 1.-the and beauti- ful bodies, eurIed up almost into ball, extraordinary heights. They bound with ease, for instance, from the floor of the cage so as to touch | ceiling twelve feet high.
 For short distance lion or tiger can outrun man and can equal ths speed of a fast horse but they lose their wind at the end Of half a mile at most. They haveqittIe endurance and are re- markabTy weak in lung power Their strength is of the kind which is capa- ble of terrific effort for short time It would take six men to hold q lion down, even after his legs were tied 90 that he eonld not use his paWs.-Ghi- eago News.

REPUBLICAN papers are trying to make big fuss because President Cleveland vetoed a bill to restore to the army an officer whose dismissal was approved during Hayes admin tration, and whose case has been before every Republican admins tration since. A quarter of q cen. tury ought to be enough to settle al such claims. The younger genera tion IS getting tired Of being taxed on account of war it never had q chance to serve in, and of seeing people drawing money from the Governrnsn who are not entitled to it.
