LION AND TiGEIi STORIES. Herr Driesbach's life was full of remarkable incident?, and he frequently took pleasure in relating events of hi< life. The following i- in his own words: *I was exhibiting in Ti>?>; city of Baltimore. We were playing a piece in whicii one 01 my tigers was to suuuemy leap from above upon me as if to kill me. After it would jump onto me we would roil around on the floor, to all appearances engaged in mortal 'combat. The theatre in whicii we were playing had a large pit. and it was iilied almost to suffocation that evening with boys and men. This time the tiger jumped over my head and was flying for the pit when I caught him by the tail and hauled him back. I needn't tell you that standing-room was made mighty quick in that pit when they saw the animal coming. They rushed out pell-mell, yelling and screaming for me to hold on to him." While Edwin Forrest was playing at the old Bowery Theatre in New York City his piece was followed by an exhibition of lions by their trainer, Hcrr Driesbach. During their stay thereForrest remarked one day that he had never experienced the emotion caused by fright?that he was never scared in his life. Driesbach heard the remark, and one evening took Forrest home with him. They entered the house, and after passing through long and devious dark passages, Driesbach opened a door and said: "This way, Mr. Forrest." As Forrest entered the door was slammed behind him. Forrest felt something touch his leg in the darkness and reaching down his hand touched what he thought was a cat's back, which he gently stroked. A rasping growl greeted the motion and he saw two lierv eyeballs glaring at him. "Are you afraid, Mr. Forrest?" asked the lion-tamer, who was invisible in the darkness. Forrest replied, "Not a bit," when the lion tamer said something and the growl deepened and the back began to arch. Forrest held out for a few minutes, when he exclaimed "Now let me out, you infernal scoundrel, or I'll break every bone in your body." The lion kept him there and iic did not dare to move a linger, while the lion kept rubbing against his leg. Forrest finally promised a champagne supper if Driesbach would let him out, which was done and j the bet immediately paid. Tho Lion King was to some extent a practical joker. On one occasion when he was exhibiting in Broadway, New York, he had entered a den of animals, and was going through the customary performance one Saturday night, when he was suddenly stretched upon his back and a large Brazilian tiger was on his throat, and the other animals were widly dashing about the cage. Driesbach's voice was heard calling for aid in a hoarse manner. The audience became excited, and women shrieked. Several keepers ran to the prostrate lion-tamer's aid, and he was dragged from- the cage. He came from behind the cage with his face and tights covered with crimson liquid like blood. He was hastily taken up stairs where a physician, who was conveniently near, examined him and said that, although seriously injured, the lion-tamer would live. The next day Driesbach appeared on the streets with his face covered with strips of court plaster and his arm in a sling. His friends were greatly excited over his escape, but their sympathy turned to disgust when they learned that the gore on the lion-tamers face had been squeezed from a sponge nlled with rose pink, and that the affair was an advertising dodge arranged by the management of the menagerie. While traveling along the Ohio Iliver one season Herr Driesbach was wanted in Cincinnati to give an exhibition at the old Wood's Theatre. He was show-, ing in Zanesville when he received a HnffpTiricr rvTor Ivr -ir>r! lio ic cepted. Hastily caging a tiger ir. an ordinary store 5ox he proceeded to "Ttxes Oixio RiVer and started for Cincinnati der" was, although he was assigned to Driesbach's roonT in the boat. After the boat put off the passengers became jolly from frequent center shots on a black bottle. It was decided to visit Driesbach's room and ascertain if he had anything good. The lion-tamer assented, ' and taking his companions thither opened the door for them. A bottle was found, and Drie'sbacii excused himself to get a pitcher of water. The tiger was not visible when the crowd entered the room, having crawled under a bunk to which he was chained, as his tamer had removed him from the store box. Presently those inside the room heard a scratching and growling and ''Colonel Alexander" emerged from under the bunk and prepared to leap. The crowd rushed headlong for the door, through which they scrambled in their hurry to leave the room. Driesbach met them outside and laughed heartily - at their fright, and taking the tiger's chain led him around the boat for passengers to fondle.?-Pittsburg Dispatch. The Doors of Our Homes. Yet, there are no articles, of furniture in a room more conspicuous than its doors, or more difficult to keep out of . sight, excepting, of course, sliding doors that are never closed. We nii^ht, in deed, do them up in brown linen wrappers with red tape trimmings, as tidy housekeepers sometimes serve their piano legs when they are too ugly to be exposed; and the chairs, when the upholstery has become faded and shabby, ?but such a broadside of canvass or cambric would be worse than the native pine. That beautiful design*, rare and ele' gant materials, should be lavished or. chimney pieces, book cases, cabinets and other stationary furniture, leaving the doors in the stilt* and formal ugliness of common machine-made shop work, is among the unaccountable inconsistencies of house building. We do, indeed, sometimes see the outside of the entrance doors to r. pretentious house, laden with : ornaments hung on at all available : points, and this is the very situation < when they should be avoided. The main entranc may properly be distinguished from the rest of the outside finish by liner workmanship and richer materials: but it should not hold out promises of elegance which the interior ' fails to fcllill,?like a rich and artistic j corner on a volume of cheap wood cut* ' and literary trash. The rule that the front hall should strike the key note of the rest of the house uoes not apply to the outside of the front door.??. C. ? Gardner, in Hood Housekeeping. Economy ia Dress.

An Asi-il Patriarch Killed l>y John Gsytor, a Hunter. i From Lander, Wyoming Territory, i comes a story which is of curious interI est to the sporting community. It ts to ! the effect that John Gaylor, u -.veil known I hunter and trapper of the Wind lUoun j tains, nas slam a winte bultalo bun or ; | one so giav that it can very easily be j called wliite. Jack secured his game i about two weeks ago while on an elk 1 hunt in ihe recesses of the "Wind Monnj tains. By the merest accident he stumj bled upon a small but deep basin, one of : ! the most hidden of haunts. In this he j found the gray or white buflalo. When the hunter came to examine his prize he found that it bore all the marks of very ; old age. The horns were worn down to j the skull, and presented the appearance of bald, smooth spots on the head rather than the natural projections. The teeth ; were few and fragmentary, and were al- j most even with the jawbones. Though living in the midst of the richest and | most succulent grasses and herbs the patriarch hoar and gray was very poor in flesh. The appearance of the basin indicated beyond* doubt that the bull had in that one spot seen many a summer's sun and many a winter's storm. In the course of nature his race was about run, and the snows of the coming winter would have covered his age-worn j carcass. Many hunters think that the trusty rifle of "Hunter Jack" has slain the famous white buflalo of Shoshone and Arapahoe Indian tradition, and that the tradition has thus been proved to be a fact.

The rat terror in nearly even* household is more to be dreaded than the rat .terrier. Everybody who lives in a house, aud especially those who own stores or warehouses, know too well the ravages and annoyances of rats. Thousands of schemes, traps, poisons and other devices have been introduced to rid the world of this species of vermin, and our neighbor, Pete Backer has devoted more time, c;re and attention to raising cats than any other man in the State, and his crops have been wonderfully prolific at ail times and at all seasons, lie has had as many as forty cats, kittens and midnight serenaders in bis store room at j onetime; but still the rats remained masters j of the position?in fact, held the fort." }Ir. Rucker has given the rat question close and untiring study, but has at last stumbled upon an exterminator which he confidently j believes will rid "him of rats, lie lias ; found that attempts to catch rats by trap i or poiauaiuij mem buutiemy \\ m iuu. kjiu rats know too much, and can only be caught by kindness. To destroy them give then a good meal every day. Do not put any poison in. the food but simply prepare a "dish for them daily, as a frc-c lunch, composed of corn meal moistened with milk, into which an egg and a little salt (to 'SBasuiij iias beea I'tnttcn. At lira thev inay j -not \ouch it, but keep it before "them, ; it fresh daily. They will soon try ^^itf^and if not injurious their suspicions I ^Paliayed. In a week or ten dav$> B*-i]l expect it, and every raWfff^he i BWfflTviil be at the appointed sjjfc for the ' treat. Givepiewy cf induce ail ! the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do ' not be in a hurry to poison them. If they ! cat all the food, give them a larger quantity next time. As soon as they have thrown off all suspicion, go to your druggist, get some phosphorus paste or other rat poison, mix it with the food and be sure you give them enough and something to spare, so as j to induce all to eat. They will cither be i killed or become so suspicious of all other j food as to leave, and not a rat will remain. Hence, to destroy ra:s take plenty of time, gain their confidence, and finish them when the}' least expect it. A Xew Postal Card. The new postal card design, adopted about a year ago, will soon be superseded by another, which lias been prepared at the bureau of engravipg and printing, and which has been formally approved by Postmaster General Vilas" When the last change of design was made there was some occasion for haste, and tliere was difficulty about getting rid of certain notions about the card that experience lias removed. Mr. Vilas last year took the best of the designs offered. It was an improvement, but still not entirely satisfactory. The new design will at oncc be accepted as an improvement upon that now in use- It consists of one piece of engraving instead of two pieces, as on the present card. A head of Jefferson, a miniature portrait after the original in the State department, occupies j a central place on the upper third of tbe I card. Over this head in light letters are the words "United States.'' In panels supported by scroll work at the left and ( right are the words, "postal card" in distinct letters. Under the head are the words "one cent," and beneath the border line, inclosing the designation of value, is the ' line "Nothing but the address to be on this ] side." The design is graceful and light, and its advantage over the old one is that the idea of putting the stamp off at one < side and the designation of the article at < the opposite side is abandoned to secure an i exclusive desigu with the strongest feature of it in the centre. The Postmaster General may decide to print the new cards on j white paper and in black ink, for the reason that white paper furnishes a better ground * for written characters, helping the post office clerks who are compelled to decipher ' addresses, and for the reason that the 1 brown ink is complained of by the printers r who use it as more troublesome to obtain t Tood work with than the same quality of black ink. As there is a stock of about 12, ( 300,000 postal cards now on hand, it is t probable tiiat the new cards will not.be out a for a month or two. a Total !?oIcr Eclipse. j A total eclipse of the sun occurs on the ?0th, which will be visible as a very small , martial eclipse in the southern part of Xew England and the Atlantic States. The , xath of totality commences at the isthmus 5 )f Panama, crosses the northern part of j; jouth America, and sonic ot the adjacent 1 slands. crosses tlie Atlantic ocean in a 11 southeasterly direction, strikes the coast of Yfrica near Benguela, and ends in Mada- a cascar. The conditions for observing it c ire more favorable than they were in the v otal eclipse of 1 SS3 and when the tj ines of totality passed almost entirely over he Southern Paciric ocean. Doubtless asronomers will be on hand at many points !j o observe the eclipse. The eclipse bescins * it Oh. 16m. A. M., (a little more than an iour after sunrise,) continuing 22m., and 1 nds at Cu. 3Sm. A. 31. It is so light that a t will hardly be noticed, unless attention s directed to it. The magnitude of the -? clinse is only 0.01S of the sun's diameter, a .nd it is on the sun's south limb. The limit a' >f the eclipse is 1 degree north of Boston, y 0 that we must be contented with a touch S 1 the phenomenon. Never spread an ill report about your ii eighbor until you know positively it is h rue; and don't do it then if he is a great ai eal bigger than you are. 11 GE.NERAL >E\VS ITEM*.
