New York; Little shonn.

New York, with all it's greatness, is in some respects the most condensed place on earth. Down in Mulberry street there is shop just wide enough for cobb1er's bench and hardly long enough to permit three customers to stand in line. Here the industrious doctor of soIes sits all day long and plies his trade, interrupted occasional ly by a customer, who ebscures his day light.
 There are cigar stores so dIminutiye that man can scarcely turn around in them. In Broadway, not far from Herald Square, is place for the sale of the fragrant weed Id which 8 GUS. toner can hardly lift his arm without knocking down a box of cigarettes or a pile of stogies. It's the proper thing for the purchaser to back out of the place after cautiously applying the match to his recently acquired cigar.
 Smallest of all Is restaurant near the South ferry, where there are shelf and three chairs, and the pies are placed on edge. On busy days those who desire the particular brand of crullers, stew and coffee offered there for sale are obliged to wait outside the do"~ for place at the shelf.

It is a deplorable fact that the scoundrel Esterhazy will escape tri- al for his crime because he has already been tried and acquitted. If he were not hardened criminal the knowledge that there is no place on the habitable globe where public contempt and abhorrence will not follow him would be fearful pun ishment, but it IS not likely that this will touch him.-Daily States.

ANIMAL ANTAGONISTS.
Beasts Confined In Cages Fight Fol-

the Sake Of Fighting.
Fights in sheer devjlment sometimes
take place between akimals in confine-
ment. A short, sharp battle took place
in Edmonds' menagerie between
Non and a tiger 40 years ago. The lion
was the same which had escaped from
Jamrach's yard in what was then Rat
cliff Highway and bitten boy. Mr..
Edmonds bought it, and is said to have
billed it as the tiger that swallowed
the child" or course, the beast was
a great draw, but after few days in
Its new quarters the tiger managed
to draw forward the sliding shutter
and squeeze itself into the adjoining
den, where lion was confined. The
lion resented the intrusion, but was i'm
mediately seized by the throat, and,
though there were tremendous strug-
giles, the fight was practically over as
soon as it commenced. The tiger never
loosed It's hold, and in few minutes
the lion was dead.
About 20 years later u fatal fight
took place in the lion house Of the Zoo
logical gardens. Regents park, between
tiger and tigress. The latter was
illtempered, and, in sparring with her
mate drove her claw through his nos
tril, and so began the fray. The tiger
threw her down, and struck her several
times with his paw, but without doing
serious damage, and then turned away
as if to discontinue the fight. This the
tigress would not suffer, for she sprang
at his flank and fixed her teeth in his
thigh. This was more than he could
stand. One wild bound freed him; in a
moment she was knocked over, and he
gripped her by the neck, in which his
huge canine teeth made fearful
wounds. Sutton, the keeper, now
managed to drive him off, and he used
to say that when the tiger loosed his
hold the blood spouted from his vic
TINS neck and splashed on the roof Of
the lofty den.-CasselPs Magazine.
