UK KILL8A $2,000 YAK AND TA8TE8 A
MAN IN AUGUSTA! OA. .
The Augusta Chrouiolo and Constitutionalist
of yesterday says that the most intense '
excitement prevailed at tho moqageriO'
grounds about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, l|
caused by the cscapo of tho laigo African 1
lion "Emperor" while being transferred 1
from one cage to another. A very large 1
orowd pf ladies and children had been ad-. 1
m it ted to see these ferocious beasts fed, <
* which on Mondays are always more savage 1
because they are never fed on Sundays.? ]
But in the aftcrqppn there were no visiters J
present, an A every thing being reatly
transfer began, and a number had changed 1
quarters, when the cage for the lion was
backed up to his temporary quarters for his <
turn. The door to the temporary affair was (
raised, and tho lion vory quietly walked in- *
to his quarters and the door closed; but as <
a the men at the tongue drow the wagon off 1
w the door of the cago was noticed to gently '
<
open.
Mr. L. M. Hedges was the first to discover
this alarming state of things and instantly
sprang forward to close it; but it was
too lato. Before he could reach it with his
hands the lion's head appearod in the open
door ai}4 out he sprang. Mr. Henry BarW?a
num and Mr. Drisooe, the lion feeder, both*
met the lion and had narrow escapes. The
lion did not go into the streets, but sought
that part of the enclosure farthest from the
gate, where a oamol was looped. The lion
walked down to where the camel was lying,
and, taking a squint at him, turned to his
right into a dark place where a string of
wild cat cages were arranged. But before
he could solect the daintiest cat, on his immediate
right, hp discovered a demure looking
Tartar yak. No sooner had "Emperor"
laid eyes on this jMt than he bounded over
the enclosure, about eight feet high, and
alighted upon the beck of the neck of the
yak, burying his hngeftngs deep into the
flesh, crushincr it to death.
While this was transpiring, of course the J
commotion among the fifty men on the (
ground was very great. While the lio^ay J
y m with fhngs deeply bnttca itr me H
his eyes glariug, his tail defiantly whipping 1
the air, and uttering ttie most terrible growl, '
a Mr. Baker, one of tho circus employees,
rushed in with a pitchfork, and, mounting
the top of the enclosure, was preparing to
tackle the lion alono and unaided. Ho had
ono of his legs thrown over the inside.?
The lion saw it and instantly made a spring,
and seizing it buried his front teeth into the
calf. At this juncture Several men had
followed Mr. Baker in, and seeing his perilous
condition, seized him by the arms, head
and shoulders, and by main force drew him
from the lion's jaws.
After Mr. Baker's release the lion went
baok to a corner of the pen and sat down.
How to get at him now was the question.
It was certain death to enter tho pen, and
there was not a gun or pistol in the crowd.
Quickly taking in the situation, Mr. W M
Simpson, who has been with Mr. Barnum
twenty years in the show business, procured
a rope, and forming a "running noose,"
climbed to the top of the partitioned while
the lion waa in his sitting posture, head up
and apparently contemplating the damage
he bad just done, Mr. Simpson lowered the
rope and most dexterously got it around the
lion's neok. Then throwing the other end
over a beam, began to tighten the noese
around the brute's neck. Another rope
was fixed around his neok, and when all was
ready, the men below tightenod their rope,
and about twenty of them began to Vhaul
in," while the lion lay breathless within.?
Kjfe - He made but feeble resistance, and in a few
moments was safely caged, more dead than
alive. This animal is one of the largest of
its ktnd in the United States, as well as the
Jf- most intractablo.
The yak was valued at $2,000, and is one
of only four in the United States. A
number of ladies of the city have heretofore
d- - procured looks of its hair or wool, it being
^ very fiue and silky.

THE ELECTROSCOPEIS
TIII8 MARVEL '*6 BE TIJE NEXT
achievement oP modern science *
. To The Editor op The Sun?Sir: An
eminent scientist of this city, whoso name is
withheld for ihe present!, . is said to be on
tpc point of publishing a Scries of important
discoveries, and exhibiting aa instrumcqt
invcuted by h!m, by means of which
objects or persons stabding or moving in
amy part of the world may be iostabtanoously
seen anywhere and by anybody. The
utility of the electroscope is Undeniable, and
if the invention proves successful it will supersede
in a very short time tho ordinary
r*_i -L; i.i i
Uicbiiwu) Ul vuivgrupiiio BDU leicpiiouic communication.
Bj incrftis of tbo electroscope
merchant* will bcaWrto rcbtlrti.
or samples of them, to any customer supplied
with the saute instrument, whether in
Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin, Calcutta,
Pekin, Sau Francisco, or New Oi leans.?
Fugitive criminals placed iu the electroscope
can be instautly identified by the polico authorities
iu any part of the globe. Mothers,
husbands, and lovers will be cuablcd to
glanco at any timo at tho very persous of i
their absent children, wives, or beloved
ones. Painters may rotain their paintiugs
iu their btuclio, and yet exhibit them simultaneously
in all the gullorics of Europe
and America provided with the invcntiiyi.
Scholars aro thus enabled to consult iu their
own rooms any rare and valuable work or
manuscript in the British Museum, Louvre, '
or Vatican, by Bimply requesting tho librarians
to place tho book, opened at the desired
page, into this marvellous apparatus. '
The electroscope will undoubtedly supersede 1
the ordinary methods of tcIegM^bj, ? it 1
matters very little how long or how short 1
may be tho message transmitted by it; not 1
to speak of the advantage of being ablo to '
read when desired, the original despatch iu 1
the haudwriting of tho sender.
And further, in case the telephone, the
new instrument for carrying musical sounds,
should succeed also in trausuiitting ordinary j
conversations, a combination of the o|ectroscopc
and telephone will be uiado which will
permit people, not only actually to converse
with each other, no matter how fur they arc
apart, but also to look into each other's eyes,
and watch their every mien,expression, gesture
and motion, while in tho electroscope.
Both telephone and electroscope applied on
a large scale would render it possible to represent
at one time on a'hundred stages in
various parts of the world the opera or play
suag or acted in any given theatre. The
actors and singers will present, of coii'rso,
ever, w
to the audience.
The inventton is based, ns fur as knowu,
on the principle of transmitting the waves
of light given out by objects, in a manner
similar to the transmission of souud waves
by the telephone. Everybody knows that
the sensations of color which we perceive
are due to the varying strength and rapidity
of the undulations of light cmunaliug
from the objects we look upon. Now, the
electroscope consists, to all outward appear
nncc, of two empty boxes, or rooms, according
to the sizo required. One of the compartments
is the transmitter, the other the
receiver- In both compartments one side
or wall presents the ends of a multitude of
quasi-elcctiic wires of a peculiar make and
consistency. Each of these innumerable
wires transmits with tho utmost accuracy
tho faintest and strongest undulations of
every delicate or heavy wave of color that
strikes it horizontally from some object or
person opposito to it. Thus ninny thousands
of wires of tho thickness of a line
carry conjointly tho undulations of color
emanating from a painting less than a foot
square. The wires aro twisted outside of
the instrument into a cable, which may be
extended to its destination above or below
ground, or through the water. On entering
the receiver the eable is untwisted, and each
tiny wire is made to ocoupy again its proper
position in .the sido or wall of the compartment.
The box, or loom, acting as the
receiver, differs from the transmitter in
beiDg~ constantly kopt filled with a newly
discovered gas, a sort of magnetic-electric
ether, in which the currents of light or color
becomo resplendent again, and by means
of which the objects or persons present at
, the timo i<) .the transmitter are reflected as
? accurately as in a mirror.?Elkctrician,

to escort the new Governor, who replaced

Mormon military authorities thought it prudent
to divide the teamsters into small

GRANT DECLINING LEE'S 8WORD A MYTH.
Editor* Richmond Dispatch:?1 am
sorry that you allowed to pass unchallenged
the item in your piper froui the Bangor
(Mc.) Whig about Grant's magnanimity in
declining to receive Lee's sword, &c.
Several years ago you published a letter
from your correspondent "Viator," giving
Gen. i^ee'sown account of the surrender, in
which ho denied most emphatically that lie
ever tendered his sword to General Graut, or
had auy idea of doing so.
In "Personal Rcmiuisccuccs of Leo" thorc
is also a full statement of General Lee's own
account of the surrender, the following exa.
-.141-. -
unci irum which semes mc question : "ticncral
Lee said that when he met General
Grant they exchanged polite salutations,
and he stated to him at once that he desired
a conference in reference to the subject-matter
of their correspondence. 'General Grant
returned you your sword, did he not, General
?' one of tlio company asked. The old
hero, straightening himself up, replied iu
most emphatic tones : 'No, sir ! he did not.?
lie had no opportunity of doing so. I was
determined that the side-arms of officers
should bo exempt by the terms of the sur- i
render, and of- course I did uot offer hiui
mine. All that was said about swords was
that General Grant apologized tome for not '
wcariug his own sword, saying that it had ]
gono off in his baggage, and lie had been J
unable to get it in time." This spoils a great ,
deal of rhetoric about'Grant's magnanimity
in returning Lee's sword, aud renders as
absurd as it is false the attempt of Northern s
artists to put the scene on canvas or iuto <
itotWift tnfiTOTate-^Tnstonc"sccim will t
not save it when the world knows that 11. >
E. Lee said that nothing of the sort occur- >

The sword scene, the '-historic apple tree," i
&c., arc mere inventions of army correspond- <
ents, which so please the fancy of the '-saviors
of the Union" that they are being constantly
repeated. > ,
Grant's terms to Lee were magnanimous ;
but he knew full well that they were the
onlv terms which Lee would have accepted.

per and the latter in the Atlanta Constitui

tions. It is one of the functions of the press
i to be an exponmt and guardian of public

; of a great power to thus set examples of gros
i blasphemy and irreverccco. The sacrifice
, of decency and morality to attempts at
1 wit is a growing evil of- the press. Only
1 persons of deba cd minds can enjoy such

No More TitOOl's.?New York, April
t.?The World says there was no excuse
Tor Mr llayes' delay iu withdrawing the
troops from South Carolina. Hut uow that
lie has decided to do so there is no probability
that they will ever return to carry
elections for the douiiuant party The editor
says: "They, the Republicans, have
carried their last election by the bayonet, and
when the troops arc withdrawn froui South
Carolina they will be withdrawn once for
all until South Carolina asks for them.?
That will not be very soon, as these troops
will leave peace aud home rule behiud
them, and us the Federal Kxecutivo
will look in vain for any constitutional excuse
for again letting slip the dogs of war.
Tho Executive will not be pcimitfed ko
them slip on any other excuse. The course
of Mr. Hayes, as Radicals now see, is a
fresh coufession that the reconduction
policy of tho Republican party has utterly
failed. It is a virtual surrender to the Democracy.
The Henpecked Man.-The henpecked
mau iz most generally married ; but there
arc instances 011 the record of single meu
being liarrassed by the pullets.
Yu cau alwus tell one ov theso kind of
men, espeshly if they arc in the company
ov thair wives. Thay looked as resigned
tew thair fate az a lieu turkey in a wet
day.
Thair aiu't nothing that will take the
starch out ov a man like being peeked by a
woman. It is wuss than a seven months' of
the fever and ngy. The wives of the henpecked
husbands most alwaz out liv thair
victims, and I hav known them to get married
agin, and git hold ov n man that time
(thank tho liord !) who understood al! the
hen peek dodges.
One of these kind ov husbands iz an honor
to his sex.
The henpecked man, when lie gits out
amungst men, puts 011 an air ov bravery
and defiance, and once in a while will git a
Icctlc drunk and then go home with a firm
resolve that he will be captain ov his household
; but the old woman soon takes the
glory out of him, and handles him just as
she would n half grown chicken, who had
fell into a swill barrel, and haibto bo jerked
out awful quick.?Josh Billings.

Tt was a Danville man who took a sensible
view of tho matter. He returned to
his room at the Arlington and found his
friend walking the floor in perfect despair.
* "What in the world is the matter ?" ho
asked. "O, I can't meet a note to day ; tho
bank will put its foot on mo," and he paced
tbo room with n rcquickcned step. "Look
hero, Dob," snid tho Danvillian, "the world
don't expect you to boar all tliis trouble by
yourself. You'vo walked enough. It's
the other fellow's time now, the man that
holds the note. It's his time to walk some."
Dob sat down and rested.
The following is the auswer to a letter
written by the junior partner of a firm
known as Derry & Dro., containing a bill
sent by a correspondent:
You've made a "mull" Derry,
In sending mo your bill Derry,
Before it was due Derry,
You may think me a goose Derry,
, And had it been the elder Derry,
, 1 shouldn't oaro a straw Derry.
[ I should like to beat you blue Derry,
[ And make your eyes black Derry.
