Of small mimosa trees Brandishing their spears, and keeping at a respect ful distance on their active little horses. the men hurled at him what were no doubt the most insulting and scornful epithets. Fara came up as was dismountiug, just in time to hold my horse.
 As approached the clump of trees, rifle in hand, it was a moment or two before l could distinguish the lion; when l did so he was crouching full length behind many-stemmed mimo- sa, facing me, and evidently in charg- ing mood, as he was swaying his body and working his tail from side to side with great impetuosity. As I walked round outside the clump to get flank ing shot he kept turning and facing me. So at last I sat down and fred twice at his head between the stems, and, reloading like lightning, rested the rifle on bush and fired once more. Upon receiving this shot he left his bush and came straight at me as fast as possible, without giving me time to reload the right barrel. When he was about five yards off l gave him my last barrel in the chest and jumped aside, and instantly everything was hidden in cloud of dust. My last shot had broken his charge and caused him to swerve round. When the dust settled saw him under the same bush as be- fore, but badly hit. He was my lion now, and, running up to within easy range, put two more bullets into his shoulder, which finished him.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BUGS.
Giant Beetles That Are Attracted to the Cities.
Mammoth Winged Insects That Were
 Unknown Previous to the Introduc- ton of the New IIiu- minator.

Electric bugs have made their ap- pearance in Pittsburgh and have led the Dispatch of that city to make a study of them.
 These bugs were in America when the country was first discovered and are very common in European coun- tries. Before electric lights were known the bugs were seldom seen and not often were specimens of them ob- tained. As soon as electric lights ap- peared in city, so did the bugs.
 The bugs resemble flies in shape They have six legs or claws, glossy wings, body like a beetle and rather large eyes, Directly between the eyes they have what is called spear. This, their only weapon of defense, is about three-eighths of an inch long in full grown bug. Their sting is very pain ful, but it is not poisonous. They never fight unless interfered with.
 Electric bugs do more good than harm. They eat up the smaller in sects, and it's a novel way they have, too. of catching them. If they had to fly after insects to catch them they would never capture any. They lie upon their backs with their six tiny claws in the air. Then they move them slowly to and fro, and thus at tract the attention of their prey. As soon as an insect alights upon one of the claws it is promptly seized and de- voured.
 The bugs make their appearance as soon as the warm weather sets in. They are rather small at first, but in less than a month they attain their full growth.
 Some of them measure over three inches in length and are nearly an inch wide. They lay their eggs in the bot tom of rivers. It is estimated that one female bug will lay three thousand eggs in three months during her life time. The eggs remain in the mud during the winter and are matched by the first warm wave.
 Toward the end of the summer when insects become scarce the bugs kill small fishes and eat them. A swarm of the bugs will go after small fish and stab it to death with their spears. They then carry the carcass of the fish to the bottom of the river and it lasts them for food many days.
 These bugs can propel themselves through the water faster than fish. Fishes fear them, although they are never attacked by them when insects are to be caught. These bugs have been known to kill some good-sized fnny specimens.
 The first cool wave that comes drives the bugs to the river, where they re- main until the frost kills them. When they die they are eaten by the fishes as sort of poetical retribution no doubt
 They are more numerous in the city now than at any other tune. If the bugs remain away from the water until daylight they cannot find thelr way back to the rivers until night sets in again. Daylight has the same effect on them as electric lights, only they fly high in the air instead of in circles or against lamp globes, and consequently do not die from exhaustion.

HOW IT HAPPENED.

The year 1893, according to R. G. Dun & Co.'s retrospective view has gone on record as the worst in fifty years. There has been in fact in the conner cial history of the country no epoch ap- preaching it in volume of financial dis aster. There have been 16650 failures with liabilities reaching nearly $2 2000,- 900, 900, an amount far in excess of the aggregated liabilities of the six preced ing years. Yet the review informs us that the year 1893 opened with the the largest trade ever known; mills crowded with work and all business stimulated by high hope.
 Continuing the review:
 1.-The year closes with prices of many pro- ducts tue lowest ever known, with millions of workers seeking in vain for work, and with charity laboring to keep back suffering and starvation in all our cities.'
 Of the future the review can only say:
 "An hope the New Year may bring brighter days, put the dying year leaves only dismal record. The review of different departments of trade given to day ex hibits collapse of in dustry and business which is almost without precedent"
 R. G. Dun & Go. pretend to offer no explanation of the sddden and over wiioinling depression, but our Demo cratic friends feeling it incumbent upon them, and it certainly is so, come for ward and.tell how and why It happened. In fact their explanation began with the depression which they alleged to be the result of years of Republican legislation. Later it occurred to them that the swell of disaster was too strong to have resulted from a previous up- heayal of the financial deep. They ad- mitted that the cause had it's origin within the present year and that cause was uncertainty. When our economic policy, they say, shall have gone into effect peace and prosperity will return. Admitting this to be 80 it is pertinent to inquire if it has been we'll to infect woe and disaster upon a nation for a year in order that it may return to 8 condition of prosperity it enjoyed at the beginning of the year. But trouble has not always preceded and does not gen. orally precede economic changes unless

THE USE OF PAPER MONEY. Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries
 Issues in Various Nations.

Almost, if not quite, all civilized countries use paper money to facilitate payments within their own jurisdic- tions, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. The United States uses paper money to a greater extent than any other country, and in notes of smaller denomination than any other country of equal importance. All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of S1, $2, $5, S1O, S20,
 $50, $1OO, $500 and S1 ,OOO; our gold cer- tificates do not appear in denomina- tions less than $20. The Dominion of Canada issues $1 and $2 notes, and various banks issue notes varying from $5 to $1,O0O. Mexico issues paper money of 10 pesos and upward and the South American states issue paper of similar denominations The Bank of England issues all English notes in de- nominations of e5, e1O, e2O, $50, e1OO, e200. e30O, $500 and a1 ,OO0 The banks

SHOOTING A LION.

A Hunters First Experience with the King
 of Beasts.
 Then from behind the camel there came huge gray thing, writes Gen. tury contributor, describing his first experience with lions. It was the lion, but too far for a certain shot. As he crouched with extended paws and ele- Vated back, his head near the ground, and glaring at me in defiance, I slowly raised my rife for careful shot, for he seemed upon the point of charging But as l did so he turned and numbered off, and the shot I dispatched to hasten his movements only struck the sand. Then began the chase. My horse was out of sight behind, but 1 was soon in the saddle and away. Meantime the two mounted natives had taken up the chase, and after running the lion for two miles he went to bay in thicket

changes to be bad.
 The full effect of the Mckinley law could not have been foreseen, yet the country with that wisdom which seldom permits it to make fatal mistake, fore saw enough to create faith which was not afterward abused and iE went into operation without a jar and gave to trade an impetus such as it had never felt.
 It will be observed from the review that one of the natural conditions at- tenant upon the operation of the Will son bill has been present from the be- ginning of the depression and became more pronounced as the disaster pro- ceeded, low prices. In fact it is easy to imagine that every condition which has cursed the country during ten dleary months is only the earnest of cores bonding condition which the new tariff bill would infict.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting Arizona passed the house of representatives py very large majority, and the further fact that the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early admission, we concluded that it was unneces- sary to re-convene the statehood convention This conclusion has been submitted to various of the committees of the convention and they have all concurred therein.
 We therefore announce that the meeting ot the statehood convent on that was to have been held on January Il, 1894, is indefinitely post poned.
