Tjje^ agent bj?iWttroeF/j&^Oo/s Great Potji?o M?;i agonie] Mu'so'um and Cirons, who is waiting at Letroitfor tho arrival of tho institution, was Saturday put in possession of B?nie'"interesting facts in regard to the successful attempt of ?. J. Forepangh to break in' the- royal' tiger "Satan,,v*at Tremont, Ohio, a few days ago. "Satan," os the animal is rightly named,-is. a&srrt?d to be -bne of the largest tigers'in this couotry, weighing about 600 pounds, although he is but sixteen months old. Liu was landed in Kew-York about a year since, being from Bombay with a number of other animals intended for exhibition. He was cap? tured when'throe months old, a dozen or more natives assisting in tho opera-: tion, and although a "youngster," he showed, soph pluck that three of the captors were badly scratched and clawed. The brother of "t?atan" made his escape into a jungle, carrying a spear in his side, and the mother was killed tho day previous by hunters inonu ted upon the backs of elephants, a dozen elephants and thirty or forty men -turning out for her sole . benefit'.*-'' These beast s have haunted the district for a year or -more and eaton up, several natives, "Satan" was- a possehgerv on the vessel Fair Trade. A "cag? was constructed for his ea peo i al benefit, as ho was u u tum ably fierce from the day of his capture, tak? ing only suffioieot food' to keep him alive During the passage, he managed one night to oat off two Of tho Wooden bars on his cage, and made' his appear? ance on deok to terrify the watch into an'-immediate retreat tip the shrouds. Seeing nothing'else- to attack, "Satan" tore the he?-0'oop to pieces and killed a ncoro of fowls. The captain dare not 'come np from', the cabin, the watoh in 4- the forecastle were in the same predica? ment, and the tiger had tho deck to himself, tho.' shipibBirjg left without a steersman.: At length one of the men ?loft managed to lasso the'-beast with a halyard, and he was so nearly choked to death in tho operation, that he was Hung into his cage like a bag of sand. The rest of the .voyag? passed without event. "Satan" gradually getting a better appe? tite, although losing not a bit of his re? vengeful disposition and desire to dissect the body of some human being. Landing in Now York, he was placed with .the.. .other . arrivals. .in. temporary quarters, and hero he had Iiis . first taste of ?j Yankee.)'flesh and blood.. A mian named Mahoney was employed to assist in-" cleaning .tho cages and 1 feeding thc beh^iV?nd, iw?s buja^aft?rnooh: left ic solo' ohftrge'of the building for severa boure. . Having .taken a glass too much, he imagined he ooold tame a tiger nt well as "any other mian," and invited i friend or two to see him enter "Satan's' quarters. The animal was* confined in ( cage about fifteen feet long,- with a doot at ono eud tho height o ia man, and Ma honey, after arming himself with a club boldly threw open the door and.entered calculating that the power of his ey< wonld subdue the animal. It dido' happen to be a good day for eyeing tigers, or else the man did not fully un dorstand the eye business, for the tige: attacked him the moment the door wa opened, and had him down in an instant Mahoney had . sense enough to lie still and "Sataui" after clawing and bitini him, lay'down across his body, and al lowed the outsiders to dose tho cog door. Help was then summoned, an? by the liberal use of spears and red-ho iron rods, the tiger was driven to th further ond of the cage, and Mahone hauled out. He was badly wounded and remained in the hospital two week before he was able to resume work. Last winter, "Satan"..carno to Wai ner's institute by purchase, and wo turned over to the care of Forepangh o a subject bound to give him much trot ble. Every effort to tame or conciliai the beast had entirely failed, and For? pangh was laughed at when asBertin that he would break in the royal Bengi when he had a spare day. That spai day did not come until last week, whe the beast tamer announced his readinet to undertake the task. No man but Mi honey had ever entered the animal cage, and there was mnch excitement i the town about it, because ' it was noise about that "Satan" was to conquer or t conquered. Hundreds.of people rushs to the tent, but only two or three new Saper men were admitted, as Forepaug id not wish to excite the beast mot than was necessary. "Satan" was fir given a good "square meal," in order 1 put him in a good humor, and thc Forepangh took off his ooat and m ru ready for business. Men to the numb> of eight or ten were armed with ire rods and sharp pointed instruments, ar stationed on either side of the cage, at Forepaugh entered the den with a r< hot iron in one hand and a oloth wra per about the other. AB he stepped i the animal seemed surprised and dam founded, and for the first moment d nothing bot growl and stare. Then b long white teeth began to glean, L book arohed and he settled down for spring. The men ontside began to shout alarm, entreating the trainer to make 1 escape; but, with eyes fixed on thoso the animal, and speaking in low tone he warned the mon to keep still, and : prepared for the action. Soddenly, li a ball blown into the air, with no war ing save a furious scream, "Satan" ma his leap. Forepangh was expeoting and fell upon his knees, one of t tiger's claws removing a tuft of hair ai a piece of scalp from his head. T beast turned after his leap and attempt to seize tho trainer's shoulder, but t red-hot rod was forced into his moa and he retreated with yells of pain a: anger. He then allowed the trainer advanoo to the contre of the cage wil out resenting the aot, but in a menu more settled himself for anothor sprit As he shot through the air the trait leaped aside, and" then gave the bri several blows with tho iron, beating h until ho retired in the further oorner. . -Both'parties then took- n'restrfor a few minutes, when.the trainer advanoed and opened hostilities. ? ''Satan" made a rash fur him, and this .t?uio seized Forepangh by the-thigh, and, although-beaten over the bead by the rod,-shook' the man to the floor as a t?rrier shakos'a rut. Then, lotting go .with his teeth? he placed his paw on the trainer's breast, uttering yells ! ol rage,' The attendants, paralyzed with fear, flu ally rallied nuder tho direction of Forepangh, who.io flesh was being pierced by the sharp claws, and -made a simulta? neous and vigorous attack upon tho eu? ra god animal,- who was obliged to retreat to bis corner. The trainer received a severe bite, and eaoh of tho claws made a bad mark, but ho determined to givo the animal no rest. Proouring another iron, he adopted the method of attack instead of defence. Just as thc beast was preparing to spring again, the trainer rushed upon him, punching und pound? ing him with the hot iron bar, and actu? ally drove the Bengal several timos around tue cage before stopping. Aftnr a moment the attack was repeat? ed, tho two rolling over and over ou tho floor of the ougo, in the tiger's efforts to soize tho man by tho neck, but be was pounded so un mercifully with the bar that ho was glad to retreat. For nearly an hour the trainer persisted in his efforts, until at last he was not only en? abled to pat tho back of the subdued magnate of the'junglo, but to open his mouth, lift up his feet, load him around the cage, and show, in various other ways, that he wns perfoot master of tho brute. After two or threo hours' rest the cage was again entered, but the tiger crouched down in fenr, and resented no familiarities from his determined train? er, although even when another person approached the bars of the cago he was greeted with h'owls bf rage aud d?fiance. A Itu Klux Party Brougltt to Gi-lfcf Two WouncleU. il mo rixs A. HOVE HAMBURG, S. C., September 12, 1871. EDITOR OF THU UNION-DEAR F.?n: May I ask a small'space in your mo .t excellent paper for the purpose of giving your readers an account of the Ku Klux doings in the good old County of Edge Held, a County that has been noted for its great quietness and conservativo prin? ciple? There is a part of Edgefield County which is known by the name of tho "Dark Corner;" for what reason I know not-perhaps fur soma bloody transac? tion, snob as I am going to narrate About three weeks ago, laBt Saturday night, in that part of tho County already named, an aged colored man and his family were aroused by a vory loud call? ing at the door by a party demanding that the door bo oponed, and that he should como out, us they wished to speak to him, Ho* refused to open the door, but said that be would on the morrow be at Bed Oak Grove church, and that there they oould seo him. That pro? mise did no good; they became more fo? rions, and swore that if he did not open, they would break down the door. Tho old man's yoong men, nearly grown to manhood, said to the father that they would open the door, and, if need bo, die in defence of their home. They armed themselves-one with a doublo barrel gun well loaded with buck-shot, (none of your bird-shot,) the other with ono of tho best of pistols. The young men then opened the door. The mo? ment it was opened they were fired upon. They returned the fire, and immediately after they heard sounds of distress com? ing from the dircetion thoy had fired. They then went out a short distance from the house, and found two young white men wounded-one badly iii thu thigh and lying on tho ground, th d other in the arm. Now, Mr. Editor, what do you think did these young colored men do? To their everlasting honor be it said, that instead of doing what, perhaps, many others would have done under such cir? cumstances-murdered the wounded men-they took them up, carried them into'their hoiiBo, and, like good Samari? tans, bound np their wounds, at the same time telling them that to Edgefield Court House they must go. In the meantime, some of the wounded mon's comrades, who ingloriously fled at tho ?rst onset, returned, and while at some distance from tho house, called aloud to know if thoy might come in. They were told to come in, that the inmates of the house were not afraid of a dozen suob. The wounded mon and their comrades begged and pleaded so much to have the matter dropped, expressing great sor? row for what they had done, saying that they had been promised tho pitiful sum of $10 to perform the damnable job of Ku Kluxing. So after much fair pro? mises and the payment of $100 to tho family before midnight, the colored man promised to keep the names of the party inviolate, although well known to him. AN OLD BE PUBLICAN. The above artiole wo clip from the Co lumbia Union, of a late date, to show tho people of Edgefield a sample of the mis? erable falsehoods that are being circu? lated for party effect by certain despica? ble characters in our midst. We have conversed with gentlemen from the sec? tion indicated, and are authorized lo proclaim the above Kn Klux story false in every particular. Not a word of truth in it. And we call upon tho Union and his "Old Republican" correspondent to prove to tho contrary. \hdgefield Advertiser. A FEMALE ADVENTURER.-Irene Robin? son, nineteen years of age, Who ran away from her home in Peoria, Illinois, two years ago, was found in New York city last night, dressed in boy's clothing. She had assumed the name of William Frank, and worked as teamster, laborer and canal boatman. She was last on a canal boat at Troy. She gavo herself np to the police and asked to be sent home. She ran away from home because her father wanted her to marry against her will. " JeBuB OhrisfJ, th? Ohlef Oorner-Bton?." " To-day (September 21,1871,) is to bo laid the corner-stone of the Washing? ton Street 'Church, Columbia/ South Carolina Conference, Methodist Episco? pal Church, South. Tho projected building is to supply tho placo of the one which formerly stood on tho same site, until , near tho closo of thc lato war, when it was burned by fire. As tho vengeful Federal army, under "Wm. T. Sherman, had possession of thc city at the time, and woro plundering and burning at will, tho destruction of tho church is, with little ornodoubtjustly I charged to that military hero and his j horde of scrvilo tools. While such despoiling, which was according to thc religion of tho spoiler and spoiled, is I soro and inglorious in thc eyes of thc suffering, it is at tho same time grand and glorious in tho eyes of thc cxul- I tant victors. While thc spoiled sock comfort in a religion which they forced to a permission to themselves lo go | into carnal war, tho spoilers give glory I j to thc God of the same religion for their doods of theft, blood and fire hy which I I they obtained that victory. Is herc not | somothing strange? Is there not some? thing defective in such a religion? May I there not be something wrong in thc | comjtosition of such a religion? Is it "built upon the foundation of the apos? tles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself .being tho chief cornerstone?" Let all sec. What the corner-stone is to thc house built upon it, so is Christ to his Church. On him as the chief corner-stone, and in tho possession of his Spirit-tho test as to who are his-"all thc building lilly framed together, growclh unto a holy temple in the Lord." This was "thc foundation of thc apostles and prophets." "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." Now, for thc building to he "fitly framed together," there must he nothing put in it that is not in accordanco with thc "foundation." Quere: Is thc teach? ing and practice of carnal war, as found incorporated in tho "holy temple," in agreement with tho foundation? Wc would ask all who would not have their "works burned" to point to an}' word or aot of Jesus Christ, or of his apos? tles and prophets, which justifies his servants in killing each other in war. If such principle cannot he found in tho "chief corner-stone," let the teach iug, spirit and practice of war, with all their appurtenances, be taken out "of the holy temple," that thc building may bc'fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth." Not only was there no clement of fighting in "the corner-stone" [Christ,] but he declared thc reverse to bc the nature of his kingdom and thc duty of his servants : "My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight." So his "apostles and prophets" [teachers] understood it, received it, taught it, and acted it out. And so also, without exception, did tho disciples teach and act for two or three hun? dred years after Christ. But when Christians began to bc soldiers, they began to bo persecutors-when they began to destroy men's lives, they began thc lesser ollcnsc of burn? ing churches. If disciples, in these last days, will retain the bastard clement of war in their religion, thc most favor? able construction, that wc are able to give, is found, in this Scripture: "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble ; every man's work shall j be made manifest : for thc day shall I declare it, because it shall be rc- I vealed by fire; and the lire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall bc burned, he shall sutler loss: but be him? self shall bc saved; yet so as by fire." I 1 Cor. 3, 12: 15. As to the burning of churches, this is implied in the covenant with destruc- ! tion which both parties make when I each takes thc sword against thc other. ! And as each party is religiously obey- 1 ing "thc powers that bc," all such burn? ing is religious. Thc honored old Washington Street Church was burned under thc auspices of a war religion, I because its friends were notable, with the same sort of religion, to prevent it. In thc bloody game of war, wc lost, with other and very much wealth and thousands of precious lives, our dear and venerable church. And to-day is to bo laid, with religious ceremony, thc corner-stone of another house in place of thc former one. May thc stone to he laid, be to tho house, what Christ will ever be to the "royal priesthood" of living worshippers who may repair to this "houso of prayer" at any time and forever. And may tho glory of tho latter house exceed thc glory of thc former in every respect, particularly in that thc heralds and servants of thc Prince of Peace may "learn war no more." Then if, becanse of fidclity.to tho peace principle by which cohere the atoms of thc chief corner-stone, this house should bc destroyed, it will bc an acceptable sacrifice to him for whom it is to bo built, and will not bc, as the burning of thc former house, a sacrifice to war, thc grand antagonism to thc kingdom of "Jesus Christ, thc chief cor ner-stono."-Christian Neighbor. " UNCOMFOHTABLE."--Archbishop Whately once wrote to Mrs, Arnold: "I remember one of my parishoners at Hales worth telling me that he thought 'a person should not go to church to bc made uncomfortable.' I replied that I thought so too; hut whether it should be tho sermon or thc man's life that should be altered so as to avoid thc dis? comfort must depend on whether the doctrine was right or wrong." ""?! Quaker Printer's" Proveib'a. Never send thou any article for pub? lication .without giving tho editor thy name, for thy name often secures pub? lication to worthless articles.
