A writer in Outing gives an account
of a hunters thrilling adventure with
two nominations. The huntsman
saw, above the ledge and a little be-
yond, the ears and head of a lion as
it sat watching deer. He rose in
his saddle to place bullet, as he said,
midway between those ears, when be-
fore he had time to realize what was
occurring. a powerful lion leaped from
behind a tree on the ledge of the rock
above, and striking him in the chest.
carried him on his horse headlong
down the mountain. and his horse ran
away.

There is a case pending in the dis
trict court, at Mt. Pleasant, Ia, which
grew out of what was practically a
campaign bet made during the Hayes
Tilden contest. In October, 1876, Job
Codner sold a horse to w. H. Nugel,
giving in payment note which was
worded as follows: When Hayes and
Wheeler is elected President of the
United States / promise to pay job
Codner $65 for value received" Not
xithstanding the fact that Hayes was
declared by the commission to have
been duly elected. Nugen claimed that
the matter was still in dispute, and he
refused to pay the note or to return
the horse. Codner brought suit before
a justice of the peace, and on default
secured judgment for the face value
of the note, with interest until paid,
but Nugen appealed to the district
court, where the case was dismissed.
Codner then brought new suit for
the value of the horse, and, says the
Iowa State Register, the case is still
pending, the title being Hannah R.
Codner, Administrative Of the estate of
Job Codner. agt. w. H. Nugen." The
horse long ago departed this life. The
original plaintiff is dead, and neither
of the law firms originally retained is
in existence. But the case is still on
the docket, and the clerk of the court
complains of the work involved in keep
ing it there during the last nineteen
years

A drayman in Wilmington. Del, had
a staid and dignified big dog that &C
companied him in his trips. At one
place an impudent little whiffet used
to come out and bark at the big dog,
who. however, did not ieign to notice
this insolence. But the whiffet once
went too far, and snapped at the big
dog, with the result that the mastiff
caught the little fellow by the back OF
the neck and took him and held his
head just in front of The cart wheel.
AS soon as the whee! caught the little
dogs head of course it crushed it, as
the cart was heavily loaded with
bricks; thereupon the mastiff walked
back with dignity to his accustomed
place beside the shaft horse, nor
deigned to cast look behind.

When the mail collected Saturday
night from the street boxes in Wash
ington was sorted at the postofiice the
dead body of white baby was found,
neatly wrapped in brown paper. If the
package had borne an address and
sufficient stamps it would not have
attracted attention as contraband mat
ter. The package had been deposited
in one of the large street boxes for the
reception of packages. There was no
mark on the wrapping to show where
the body come from.

A Dog on tho "Anx,ou, Seat.

A peculiar thing in connection with
the Christian church revival is that a
large black dog, apparently belonging
to no one, has been attending the meet
ings regularly. The dog walks quietly
into the church when the singing COM
mences, and lies down. listening at
tentively to the services. When the
benediction is pronounced the animal
walks out, and is seen no more until
the next night. The dog cannot be in
duced to leave the church until the
services are over.-Ex.

Acsop's Fables in Aztec.

A curious discovery has been made
by DR.. Antonio Penatiel. namely,a copy
of 'Aesop's Fables" translated into
Aztec or Nahuatl, in the sixteenth CEN
fury. perhaps by Father Sahagun or
Father Bautista of the College of Tlate-
lolco, where the native Aztec youths
were instructed in the humanities and
religion. The translation. which was
probably a reading book. is done in
pure Aztec. and has now been published
in pamphlet form.--Lonion Globe.
