Aurew, JAM ES VICK, Death in a Menagerie--A Lion tamer Torn to Pieces by Five Lions. t, d At a performance of a traveling menagerie, at Bolton, England, l lately, Maccarte, the lion tauier, gave his usnal performance, in which hie had to enter the cage of g five lions. On all general occa sions heated bars of iron and iron scrapers "are in readiness, but on this fatal evening the matter had been neglected. The five lions were all powerful animals, and the unfortunate mjan on entering the cage noticed that a blalck-maned o African lion, which had only so o recently as Monday last bitten his 0 hand, appeared very restive. He d consequently fixed his eyes on it, I and this in some degree diverted - his attention from an Asiatic lion known by the name of' Tyrant, against whom he had been can 1 tioned on1v that moriing to keei earcfully to his instructions. It is necessary here to note that when performing lions are tamed there is a line drawn, or what is known as "the office," in techni cld phraseology, by which thc beasts are taught to regard that line as a limit beyond which the perfoirmer must not pass, knowing, if he does so, the consequences to be expected are most dangerous. The presumption is that this line was overstepped, and Macecarte, who was attired as a Roman glad iator, was returning his falchion to its sheath, slipping, he fell on - the floor of' the den. Tyrant fastened on him, seizing him by the haunches and then the I African lion fasteed on his arm less shoulder. Maccarte imme diately called upon the keeper for help, and meanwhile to fire. He then drew the short Roman blade - which formed a part of his cos tume and commenced fighting desperately with the lion Tyrant, thrusting the sword into its face, mouth and eyes. The crowd panic. stricken, crowded around and effectually prevented the approach of the men who wer3 used to the habits of the a-nimals. The shouts of the audience, the desperate and manful struggle of the fated man, and the smel of the blood which was streaming from Maccarte, in cited the othernaimalsand their C savage instinct was awakened. A j third lion-an Abyssinian one , -seized him by the ribs, and then Lt a five year old lion, and an espe - cial favorite of' the !ion-taner, caught him by the head, literally scalping him, ti.e flesh hanging down his neck. The treacherous favorite had no sooner accom plished this work than he returned quietly to his corner. 31eanwhile the irons wereheat ed, and th!ec of the animals driven away, when a fourth seized Mac carte just above the boot and dragged him in again imong them. Then the frightful work went on again for a fe.w sickening and bor Irifying moments. Rot irons were now av-ailablc, and the brutes be ing driven off, the poor and almost puleless piece of humanity was drawn out from the place it was fated he never more should enter. Ie sustained sufficient sensibility to speak to his warm-hearted col leagues a few fatint words, praying Sthem not to take him away to re eive medical aid, as he knew he was a dead man. HIis anxious friends carried him tender'y to the infirmary, wvhere after a few moments hle breathed his last. after muttering a few incoherent sen tences. The coroner's jury re Sturned a v-erdict of death by mis adventure. anrd addedl :'The jury fe.el it to be their bounden duty to express their entire disappro L'bationi of the reckless custom oI so-called lion tamers performing in denis where ferocious animals are caged." In 1861 the "F'reedmecn's Savings Bank" was established at Beau - fort, North Carolina, by the ireed. IImen's Bureau. About that tim'e ,tihe drafts came on, and very large sums were offered in the way of State bounties, or for substitutes. 2 Thousands upon thousands of ;- freedmen accepted the terms, and as the bank had agents in most of the States, a very large probportionl of the money was sec'ured "on deC posit, and sent North for safe. keeping." Of course very many freedmen died in the army either' -in a battle or from debauchery, and as none of them had lieirms, the amounts on deposit remlainet.d un.i claimed. Not a word has beeni heard aibojt it! To whom did it go ? It is known that Granit's 'S'eea Sandstone t'ompanly has some kind of co)nnect~in with this F 'reed men's Bureau Ban k-.--onily this'. and1 nothinrg mfor'o.

SATURDAY NIGHT.-Saturday night makes people human, sets their hearts to beating, as they used to do before the world turned them into drums, and jarred them to pieces with tattoos. The led-. ger cloAes with a slash, Jhe iron doored vaults come to with a bang, up go the shutters with a will, click goes thb key in the lock.' It is Saturday night and we breathe free again. IIomeward, Ho ! The door that has been ajar all the week closcs behind us; the world is shut out. Shut it, rather. Here are our trea#res after all, and not in the vailt, and not in the book -save the old record in the old family bible-and not in the bank. Maybe you are a bachelor, frosty and forty. Then, poor fellow, Saturday nighit is nothing to you, just as you are nothing to nobody. Get a wife, blue eyed or brown eyed, but above all true-eyel. Get a little home-no matter how little ; a sofa ljust to hold two, or two and a half. and thwn get two, or two and a half in it of a Satur day night. and then read this para graph by the light of your wife eves, ald thank heaven and take courage.-Jxchangje. A German doctor in New York, who is now having more patients than he can attend to. obtained his wife, a few years ago, in a ou rious way. A mechanic called up on him to obtain treatment for his wife, a feeble lady who accompa nied him. Her case was pro nounced consumption. The man in dismay, inquired if she could be cured. "I can cure her," says the doctor, "but not for you, I want her myself. I will give you $1,000 for her if you will leave h3r to be my wife." The dumbfounded hus band hesitated. It was death to his wife on the one hand, and life to her and loss to him on the oth er. Then he said. "But I have two children." '-Very well," re plied the doctor, "I will take them too." The lady consented, the ne cessary arrangements wcro made, and she has since been the happy wife of a devoted but eccentric husband. CIIARACTER.-WVe may judge a man's character by what he loves -what pleases him. If a persor,r manifests delight in low, sordid objects, the vulgar song and de basing language, in the misfo tunes of his fellows or atnimals, we may at once determine the complexion of his character. On the coutrary, if he loves pourity, truth, modesty-if virtuous pur suits engage his heart and draw out his affections-we are satisfied that he is an upright man. When we see a young man fond of fine clothes and making a fop of him self, it is a sure sign that be thinks the world consists of outside show and ostentation, and he is certain to~ make an unstable man, without true affection or friendship, fond of change and excitement an d wearying of those objects and punr suits, which, for a time, give himi pleasure. The process of girdling the earth with telegraph wires is steadily progressing. A ustralia is now brought within a minute's dis tance of the great continent from which it lies dnet ached, a telegraph cab:le having been successfully laid fr-om Port D)arwin, on the north east part of the insular- continent, to Batavia. the capital of the island of Java, which is alreadly c-onneet ed by cable with the continent of Asia. F-rm Port Dar-win lines of telegraph cxtend to all the princi pa'l cities of Australia-onc soutn to Adelai<ie, Melbourne and Sid ney, and another- along the east ern coast to other p)rinceipal points. From Mfelbourne there is a cable to Tasmania, which c-omplletes the system of the Australiani coloniies, with a network of telegraphic wires to all parts of the civilbzed world.

General Banks on the Politi cal Situation in Europe. Thursday eveninm. General Banks de livered n address in Waltham, Nassa chusetts, in which he stated the im pressions he had received on his Euro pean tour in regard to the political as pects of Europe. lie said: The cause of the demtruction of France was what has brought on the ruin of every government which ever existed, the spirit of senseless, remorseless, soul. less and godless faction. At the end of the war of 'G8, it was proposed that the French army shouJd be increased from 100,000 to 1,200,000 or 1,400,000. The warnings of Marshal Neil were unheeded by the French Chambers. They de manded liberty of the press, the right to meet and discuss public questions, and to bear arms ; in fact, all the rights which Republicans enjoy. In face of this opposition, not only was the army not increased, but it was diminished by some 70.000 men. The men who had recommended this measure were raised to power, and the firt act of the French Republic was to restrict :ll those privi ieges for which it had before so strongly contended. The initerference of Europe in the German-French war was made impossible, because a great power in the North said to every nation : "You must not be a party to this war." Thus all were held in check, and the war went on. It seemed strange that such should be the case, but the wisdom of Russia was th, greatest political act of the cen tury. Her situation, with Asia upon one side and Europe on the other, both of which she hoped to control, with a population of nearly 100,000,000, with an army of 2,250,000 ready for the field, her people entirely devoted to their country, she was able to hold all the States in balance. Germany must go in the way she has started. The schemes ot development opened by Frederick the Great has been followed out, and Prussia aims for the Baltic and Black Sen. 1er war with Denmark was tol gain the former, aid that, with Austria, to gain the latter. Russia can reach the Northern Ocean only through the Gulf of Finland, where navigation is slow and dangerous, and %shere Prussia can coin rand. it is impossible that Rusiu will submit to this, and the contest aillcomej between her and those who stand in her way. With America, Russia is united by community of interest. Both need to reach the sea, and are prevented by other pow ers. The United States have no control over any one of their great rivers or iakes, and Russia is in a similar condition. This is the secret of Russia's friendship for this country. Russia is waiting for the opportunity to begin. When that will be, no one knows, but it is certainly cnming, and will complete the destinies of nations begun in the war of 1870. We may assume that nothing is settled. Germany is not autocratic nor France destroyed. As soon as any ditiLrence occurs between States, Russia's opportunities will have come, and the sympathiies of the civil ized world will be on her side, if the aims to check the expansion of Prussia. France has, in somne respccts, been strengthened and purified by her misfor tune, and she, too, is waiting to regain the position she has lost. The interest of the United Sttes is that the States of Europe should be preserved distinct, ac cording to their nationalities ; for the nationality is lhke a family, and the fami ily is the work cof Goud. Whenever Eu rope is united under one dynaste, then will come an attack upon the Un'itcd States. So long as each has its own, we have nothing to fear ; but if any one be c.mes preponderant, its power must be exercised somewhiere, and we shall be thu only object left to attack. Our safety lies largely in the firmness with which we support our own inistitutions and make the force of our example felt. Everywhero the common people are Slled with r9spect for us, and want to know the secret of our power. We have to fear the same enemnios which have do stroyed other nations. Faction is at; work among us, and is' encouraged by the respect paid the leaders-men who are aiming for personal power andl in fluence. When we act for a selfish ob ject, then the foundations of our liberty are gone. A II.w io;* L.-.\ .\Mn excn says that the nor th 'f the tmivn 'f Wa.sh i ngton, and b)e tween ti-ere a ndi 'alermo, is a trae: of land known as "I ibbard 's Gore."

Palermo has never elaihued it, anid it has5 since becomie quite a settlement and remins i,i pe.L: indepmadenice. The Lisping Officer. A good story has been told of a lisp. ing officer having been victimized by a brother officer who was noted for his ool deliberation and strong nerves, ar.d his getting sriare with him in the fol owing manner : The cool joker, the captain, was al. ?rays quizzing the lisping officer for the lerrousness, and said to him one d%y, n the presence of his company: "Why, nervousness is all n.nsense ; I l1 you, lieutenant, no brave man will >e nervous." "Well," inquired his lisping friend, 'how woued you do, suppothe a thell Pith an inth futhe thould drop ithelf in L walled angle, in which you had taken helter from a company of tharp thooters, tnd where it wath thertin if you put out Tour nothe you'd get peppered ?" "HIow ?" said the captain, winking at ,he circle, "why, I'd take it cool and Pit on the fuse." The party broke up, and all retired xcept the patrol. Tihe next morning a iumber of soldlers assembled on the mrade-ground, and talking in circles, k-hen alng came the lisping lieutenant. ,azily opening his eyes, he remarked: "I want to try an experiment thith ine morning and see how extheedingly -ool you can be." Saying this, he walked deliberately in o the captain's quarters, where a fire vas burning on the hearth, and placed n the hottest center a powder canister, Old instantly retreated. There was but ne imode of egress from the quarters, md that was upon the parade-ground, he rear being built up for defence. The >ccupant took one look at the canister, .omprebended his situation, and in a ,noment dashed at the door, but it was astened. "Chailie, let me out, if you love me " ;houted the captain. "Thpit on the canister 1" shouted the lieutenant, in return. -Not a moment was to be lost. He bad irst snatched up a blanket to cover his ,gress, and now dropping it he raised the window, and out he boutided sans every. thing but a very short undergarment, and thus with hair almost on end he dashed upon the full parade-ground. T'he shouts which hailed him drew out the whole barracks to see what was the mnatter, and the dignified captain pulled the sergeant in front of him to hide him 5elf. "Why didn't you thpit on it ?" asked the lieutenant. "Why, because there were no sharp ;hooters in front to prevent a retreat," inswered the captain." All I've got to say, then, ith, that you might thafely have done it ; for I'll tbwear there wathn't a grain of powder in it." The captain has never spo-en of ner vousness since.--Exchange. Good Walks in Winter. What a comrfort to hrave a good dry w alk from thre house to the street, and onr the .idewa!k in fr ont of the fence no mud, no dirty shoes or dresses, a cause for disagist to the ladies. Yet, a argo portion of the time, this is the very thing most neglected by farmers arid village residents. When the weath cr is clear, arid walks hard, threy are con sidered good enough, and then ,then wet arnd muddy rio one wants to work in them ; and so nothrirg is done. TIhe G;ermrantown Telegraph is even more severe than ourrselves on tis neglect, and says spicily there are too many farmers in all sectiors who are in thc habit of neglecting mnatters and things about tire dwe-llings and ouit builirngs, which may be called small comforts. In many cases they are overlooked, and not considJered of sulicient importance to deserve attention, at least, any special attention. Among these there is noth ing that adds more, not merely to then health and cornvenience, but to the health of the family, than good walks about the house and premises. We have knowr these irr many insFtances to be utterly neglected. Year after year the member' of the family arec left to wade throug mumd to the cow stables, hog pens, wooL or coali shed, to the pump or sprint hou.se, to tire place of drying the washm, ndso on. Now, tihe little l.bor it would co4t to make hard dry paths to all thest poinits is not wo,rth rometiornirng.

In the game of lov-e. men usec to win women by playing hearts now these nhoying diamonda arr How to Get On in the World. A working man, some time ago, pub lished his own biography, one of the a most interesting little volumes that has v appeared during the present century. v It is as follows: "It may to somes ap- t pear like vanity in me to write that I f< now do, but I should not give my life tj truly if I omitted it. When filling a g cart with earth on a farm, I never d stopped work because my side of the cart p might be heaped up before the othcr h side, at which was anothor workman. I I pushed over what I had heaped up, to ti help him ; so doubtless he did to me, al when he was first and I was last. f; When I have filled my column or columns h of a newspaper with matter for which I was to be paid, I never stopped ifI thought the subject required more ex- cl planation, because there was no contract for more payment, or no pos.Abilitq >f obtaining more. When I have lived in tj a barrack, I have stopped work, and b taken a baby from a soldier's wife, when she had to work, and nursed it for her, C or cleaned another man's accoutr ements, td though it was no part of my duty to do ti s-2. "When I had been engaged in politi- tl cal literature and traveling for a news- d paper, I hive gone many miles out of my road to aqcertain a local fact, or to pur- 1 sue a subject tAo its minutest detals, if it tl appeared that the pubHc were unac- b quainted with the facts of the case; and h this, when I had work, was the most d pleasant and profitable. When I have wanted work, I have accepted it at any u wages I could get, at a pslow, in farm. draining, stone-quarrying, b r e a k i n g stones, at wood cutting, in a saw-pit, as C a civilian, or a soldier. In London, I ' have groomed a cabman's horsi and I cleaned out a stable for sixpeae. I have since tried litorature, and have done as much writing fr ten ShiMg* as I have readily obtained-hoth sought for and offered-ten guines for. 'But it I had not been Contuated to begin ast he beginning and accept ten c shillings, I should not have arisen to I guineas. I have lost nothing by work ing, whatever I have been doin, with spade or pen-I have been i,y own help. er. Are you prepared to imitate? U. mility is always the attendant of sense, folly alone was proud. A wise divine, when preaching to tse-youths .f his con gregation, was wont to say : 'Beware of being golden apprentices, silver journey men and copper ruasters.' The only cure for pride is sense; and the only path to promotion is condescension. What multitudes have been ruined by the pride of their hearts!" 11ere is testimony % oith treasuring in mind by everybody. BBMND 's EVEM.-It is not always the practice of pretty ladies to wear a veil. Not even coquetry will dispense with th~e pleasure of showing a lovely countenance, and the most modest and retiring beauty likes to be admired for the regularity and delicacy of her fea tures. These reflectiona passed r a p i dl1 yt through the mind of a well-known mag istrate riding up town recently. By hisC aide sat a lady, who from a single I glimpse of her countenance be imagined that he knew. At last he ventured the rt mark that the day was pleasant. "Yes," murmured the female. "Why do you wear a veil ?" inquired the dispenser of justice. "Lest 1 attract attention." "It is the province of gentl-men to ad mire," rcplied the gallanut man of law. "Not when they are married."
