A NOVEL ENCOUNTER. -0 XXGHT .BET WEEN A LION AND A B ULL. The King of Beasts Easily Vanquished --How Texans Amuse Themselves in Ban Antonio on Sunday. The Mexicans living in San Auto nio Texas, are introducing the cus tom of bull baiting. But the novel feature consists in introducing an African lion as one of the com batants. A fight between a bull and a lioness sometime since resulted in an easy victory for the former. On Sunday a second encounter took place between the bull and a lion. It is thus described At one o'clock the lion, "Old George," was put into the arena. He was a large African lion who, although old, presented a formida.. ble appearance. He was very large. He had been given a calf a few daya before which he destroyed in fine style, as well as several vagrant dogs that had strayed into the arena, in which he had beon placed for a week past to allow him to ex ercise his muscles. Old George has only one eye, the other having boon burnt in order to get the remains of his keeper out of his cage in Mom phis a few years ago, he having torn him all to pieces. At a quarter to four o'clock Mexican vangucros were seen bringing the bull across the prairies. The lion was shut up in one corner of the cage, with a circus canvas, while the bull was led in by four men with ropes. As soon as the bull was fairly in the cage the curtain that concealed the lion was dropped. As soon as they saw each other the lion crouched down, growling and lash ing the ground with his tail. Before he could spring, the bull, although lame from his previous encounter with the lioness,without a moment's hesitation bounded toward the lion, catching him under the belly. He threw the lion sprawling, foot up ward, against the cage, following it up by going for him again and pin ning him to the ground. It was in vain the lion made show of resis tance ; the bull pinned him to the cage, holding him against the bars as in a vice. On the bull withdrawing his horns, one of which had made a deep wound in the flank, the lion - escaped. For fully five minutes the combatants glared at each other the lion with uplifted paw and most ferocious mien, the bull with head lowered, as if to make the onset on the slightest provocation. -The pose was magnificent. With a muffled roar the bull charged his horns holding the lion firmly to the ground, t,he bull apparently suffer . mgno injury. The final assault of the bull was terrific. He gored the lion, and then, with a toss, sent him whirling through the air. When he struck the ground he lay on his back with his mouth open, apparently dead. The lion revived, however, but seemed unwilling to again tackle the monarch of the prairies. The managers, seeing how une qual the combat was, determined to add a new feature to it. The bull 'was tied up, and while doing which he made furious efforts to get through the cage, the strength of which he tested to its utmost. The wagon was backed up to the door of the arena, and the lioness wvhich had been vanquished last Saturday was turned in. Had the lion and the lioness attacked the bull to. gether there is no doubt they would have come out victorious ; but the lioness, remembering her previous encounter, fought shy, and beyond showing hrteeth and striking attitudes did not do much, while the lion was too much exhausted by his exertions to do much damage beyond tearing the hide from the bull's face and legs. It was a strange sight-probably never before witnessed in America, to see the infuriated bull rushing around the arena, with tail up and head down, chasing the two huge lions, tossing one after another over his head or Lrampling them under foot. At times the bull seemed to be standing on his head on the bodies of the prostrate animals, that filled the air with their roarings. It was evident that the lions stood no ohanco, the lion being kors de COmn bat, with several deep wounds, while the lioness was too feet to allow the bull to pin her to the cage. Jus.t.before the bull was lassoed there was a very pretty scene. The two lhons were very lose together, the crippled lion hud4liwg up close to the terrified lioness. The bull advan#ed on tbem in a~trot, but 'ust as he was upon them he seemed to realize their helpless condition, stoped 'hort, and after eying them or a fw minutees slowly walked off " fn a difl'rent direction. Victory iwas declared for the bull and he was lassoed and secured to the cago. The victorious bull is one of the most extraordinary fighters ever seen. Such is tho testimony of men who have been bull fighters in Mexico. Arrangements will be made to fight him against Mexicans next Sunday, when somothing still more tragic may be expected. TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT BIPENS. There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. 'ome of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.--N. Y. Tribune, Nov. Z9, MM'7. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor watered: that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
