UriCUL TO THlt WOBLD.l PlIILADELrHIA, Nov. 21. Tlio two littlo daughters of Thomas D. Smedlay, a pnintcr, living about two miles southwest of Ucrwyn, wero shot by tho accidental discharge of a gun on last Monday evening. Oracio, ngod four, has sinco died, and Anna, aged twelve, is fatally wounded. John Smcdloy, tho flftcon.yeor-old Bon of Thomas, returned homo from a hunting ex pedition about 5 o'clock on Monday evening. His father and mother woro absent, leaving no ouo at homo hut tho two girls, Anna and Graeie. When tho boy entered tho littlo kitchen Anna was sitting on tho floor trying to solvo tho puzzle of tho ring and anchor, mid Gracio stood watching with childish curiosity. John hat on a chair two or threo yards aw uy from tho little girl's. Ho rested his gun, which was loaded, against his leg n moment, when his dog leaped upon his lap. Tlio gun Rliiipod and foil, tho hammer btruek tho floor and tlio discharge that followed tore through tho bodies of the little ones. Tho mouth of the gun barrel almost touched Gracio in its fall and tho load of shot toro tho llesh of her right leg near tho thigh into shreds. Passing on, a part uf tho dis charge buried itself in Annas leg below tho knee. a John, terrified by tho discharge nud the sight of tho blood, ran away towards llerwyn for tho doctor. On tho way ho told Mrs. Martha Speakmun, a neighbor living a hundred yards away, of tho calamity at tho houso. Mrs. Speakmau at orreo hurried down to Smcdloy's. John ran off to llerwyn and within a half hour was back with Dr. Aiken. When Mrs. Bpenkman got to tho Bccno of the accident sho found Thomiis English, a neighbor, who, passing at tho timo, found that Anna, half out of her mind, had crawled to tho gato, ten yards from tho spot whero she was hurt, dragging hor dying sister. Bho only got as far as tho gato. how over, for her htrength gavo out froiu tlIJoss of blood. ISoth children wero carriod n!ick into tho house. Dr. Aiken was soon followed by Dr. Abbott, of Wayuo. Littlo Oracle's leg was held only by shrods of tlosh. and the physicians later on amputated it. oho died on Tuesday morning at 1 o'clock, not liming spoken after being snot. Oracle will bo buried to-day, tho services taking place at llerwyn Chapel, because ser v ices at tho houso might rob tho parents of the little hopo left of Anna. Sho is suflering deoply from tho shock nud tho chances of her recovery aro small. All tho neighbors sympathize with tho lad, who bears an excellent reputation in tho community, and my ho is accustomed to handling a guu. They look upon the thing as an accident for which no ono can bo blamed. m m TONY'S IUHKLY. Tho Fennt Trovlded by n Hnnlblnck far III Crippled I'nllier. "fcny is a poor Italian boy who shines boots at Polien Headquarters and by his earnings supports a crippled father in a rear tenement in Mulberry street. Tony has not always u very good time of it among tho policemen, who aro fond of rather rough jokos and sometimes mako him tho victim of them, but ho hns got used to it and tloosn't oiind, for, after nil, among his tormentors ho has many friends who remember tho lad's sorrow whon Mr. Hawloy, tho old Chief Clerk, who picked him up from the street, was carried to his grave. All day yesterday Tony was around shining with all ids might and drumming up cus tomers with oven more than his acoUBtouied energy. There was a spurklo of excited ex pectation in Ids eyo as ho communicated to favorite ciibtomors tho purpose; of all this bustle. If ho could get money enough he meant to buy a turkoy for his father and then thoy would have a Thanksgiving, indeed. And so uumberlcbs boots about Polico Head quarters whoso owners thought them spot less wero condemned and subjected to an extra fivo-centshiuo in honor of tho occasion. Hut still tho turkey was in tho dim distance. It takes a good day's shining at five cents a shiuo to attain to tho height of oen a dollar turkey. 'iuo day wos iar spent ami mo lurxey sun hung secure in its btall when Inspector Steers heard of tho contemplated feast and suddenly remembered that he must go homo with freshly-polished boots, Ho sent out for the boy and told him to put on his vory best Thanksgiving shine. Lying back in his easy chair, ho watched him rub and blow with a silent laugh of contentment and urged him on and on, tolling him that tho boots wero not nearly bright enough yet. When Tony roso at last out of breath and contemplated his handiwork, Inspector Steers put in his dirty hand a bilyor dollar. Tho boy's pleasure may bo Imagined. And that is how Tony ato his Thanksgiving turkey in the little back room to-day after going first to headquarters to givo Inspector Stecrs's boots tho very best shino ho could put on.

Cohen, alias llrown, the dynamiter, had, it is now discovered, n homo in this city ut ono period of his career. Tho wifo and father-in-law of tho supposed Cohon huvo identified his picture ns that of Jucob ltoglin. This they huvo douo aftor u careful examination of it. Mrs. Itcgllii, who lives at No. Ill llelmont avenue, says that she was married twelve vears ago and up to two years ago led a happy life with her husband. Their four children still livo with her. lteglin was an Italian by birth and was a good machinist, bpoke four languages and worked for many years in Durech Co.'s factory, at tho comer of Charlton and Court street, whero ho had supenibiou of the engine. Two years ago his manner changed and nothing pleased him, and instead of giving his wifo Ids whole earnings, ho kept buck the greater part. Finally ho refused to givo her uuvthuig, and kept all his money. Mrs. lteglin and her father wero positive that the man was partially insane. In July last lteglin resigned his position nud told his family that ho was going to Europe. Nothing more was heard of him. 1' rom published descriptions, Mrs. lteglin was led to bolieo that it was her husband. When ho left her he had about 100 in his possession. A full description of him has been sent to tho Scot land Yard officials.

Tlio one theino of conversation whs tho grt ut game to take place iu tho ulternoou and every one was infected with tho euthusiusiii of tho hour. Tho Yalo men at tho Fifth Avenuo mado thobruVLst show during tho tarller hours. Thoy had camped tin ir during tho night before, und a lively sense of the iuiportauro of tho occasion forbade them remaining in their rooms after daylight chased sleep from their eyelids, llesidts tho prist uto of the eleven members of the team iu tin1 hotel cor ridor, chatting and discussing the situation with tho frtidom of ordinary mm tnls, afforded a nucleus for the rising enthusiasm. The conduct of tho mcmlurs of the Harvard team was iu striking contrast to that of their oppoiunts, Piold Captain Wood kept his men ii tlieir rooms all last evening and all this morning, aud would not h t them talk to either friends or reporters. Ho said it was not tho right thiuj for thu uaii, ou the very evo of tho struggle to mnko a show of themselves in tho corridors of tho hotel. Hut soon after breakfast, when tho I' nil lllver boat and tho special train from Huston hnd lauded thu last contingent of two bun. dred and fifty or threo hundred cnthiiHiastia Harvard men, tho scene in both camps was A HOT S01UMMAOK. equally animated! Tho Windsor could not ticcoinniodnto anvthini; like the uuiubnr of those who sought sholier beneath its roof. At IU o'clock a long lino of Harvard ami Princeton men wero stacked up against tho desk of tho llruuswick waiting to get a hack at tho register.

It was a thrilling sight to Rt e tho tally-hos in front of tho hotels, gaily decked with Hugs and banners, and crowded inside ami out with Yalo or lUrvunl boys brimful of ex citement and confidence. There was a good deal of betting with odds slightly in favor of Yalo. Tlio New Haven boyn woro certainly thu most confident in thoir speech. They admitted that Harvard's team was the strongest thut Cambridgo has sent out in many jtars, but they smiled and said thoy would como out all right. Still thoy would not offer tlio Harvard men odds, and when five to four was meiitiout'd it was not hard to find Harvard men to taku tho of fer up. Two blast! looking wearers of bright bluo buttons met iu tho corridors of tlio Yviiulhiir, the enemy's camp, at 111 o'clock. How aro you getting on, old fellow?" said one to tho other. Oh, I've been trying lo put fifty against forty for an hour, but none of tlio follows here have the Mud to take it."

This is only a samplo case. There is every reason to beliovo that the other roads complainod of are equally guilty of breaking tho law in favor of the monopoly. Now, Messrs.

Vom tht Sci Franthro ChronleU, 'Commercially lho abalone has n double vnlue first as an article of food nnd next ns an orna" meut It has been known for a long time, and far and wide, ns a food, but It Is only of late years that Its shell has attained a settled market value. Tho Channel Island iibnlonc, called ormcr, Is a small fish, not larger than n good-sized oyster nnd Is es teemed something of a delicacy. The maritime negroes of Senegal esteem the abalone an excel lent article of diet, the New Zealandcrs called It "mutton fish," and among tho Chlncso nud Japanese It is much sought nftcr. The manner lu wh'ch the two nations cat tho imlmal Is, however, entirely different. The Japs take only tho very smallest flsh und eat thim when freshly caught with vsyenno pepper and vinegar, 'lite Chlncso get the largest possible, and only eat them after they have been subjected to a drying process. When tho Chinese flrt came totals coistthcy found tho shore Indians eating the abalone, nud recojnlitlng 11 as highly superior to their own Ihi leeo they at once set to worK catching the fish. Tho l'ortiuuess also embarked In the fishery, but the Chinese, with their splendid business hanlts and quiet persistency, soon succeeded 111 running out inetr rivals und thoy now control the enterprise, lho extent of that enterprise Is but llttlo known, norisltiirocou'd to enter Into details on this oc casion. Fleets of schooners are regnlarly employed, ami nil up and down the coant from Mendocino to Acapulco there arc tlshlug villages whose Inhabi tants do little If anything else Ihun catch and pre pare the ubalone. Ho persevering were the Chinese abalone nihers at one time that the Mexican Gov ernment, fearing tho mollnsk would be extermi nated, passed a law forbidding the catch. Tho official vigilance has relaxed of late, hotvover, nnd tho lHhery Is carried on as vigorously as ever. Sometime the abalone llshlng villages on the Cali fornia coast include ns many as one hundred and fifty people nn I tho number so occupied altogether must no vert large. The fishing Is conducted at low tide, the principal grounds on this coast being along the fatal uu und Santa Jtes.i Manila, 111 the Santa Barbara channel, and frjtn Monterey to San Diego, although an Im mense quantity aro also tav n from Half-moon liny (where ih-y mtaln great size), and from thu rocks that line Mendocino County. The Hull, ns has oceu said, fasten t hematites to the rocks by means of their fool, using It as n sucker. Just beforo tho tide leaves them on the ebb. nnd Just after It has reached them on the Mow, the abalone keeps his shell partly open, with the foot drawn Into a small space. This Is the fisherman's 0s portuiilty. With a Ion', bread knife or a spade-like Instrument both are used he gives a ipilek lift to the sucker or foot. Tho air Is by this means let In, thu suction is desttoycil, and the tlsh falls off, when It Is seized beforo It cm fasten Itself afresh, and thrown Into n boat or basket. If the flsl lies below water a sort of grap pling Iron is let down, and tho point being Inserted under the shell a vigorous wrench nulls it away. All this has to bo doue quickly ami quietly, for If the abalone closes firmly on the rock no power inn draw it oil, so great Is the power of adhesion, and It will be broken into fragments before It relenses Us held. Occasionally some foolhardy person tries to detach trie creature when thu shell Is ujar by In serting the lingers between that and the rock and then pulling sharply; nut It is a very dangerous ex periment, und ciscs are on record where tho ex perimenter has ticeu held In the fatal grip df tno abalone until drowned by the rising tide. Tho catch being over, the abaloncsiiro dumped on tho beach, and then, with a Hut, shurp stick, the fish Is pulled from the shell, gutted nnd stripped of its curtain, bulled. Hailed and strung on long sticks to dry In the sun.

I fear that tho wilderness, that has for so many a years been a mother to him, will now also prove his gravo and tho gravo of tlioso who accompanied him, for the quest upon which he and they havo started is a wild one, indeed.

And now for tho story, which I will repeat. aR nearly as I can, in the words in which Hunter Quaterumin told it to mo ono night in tho old oak-panelled vestibule of his house in Yorkshire. Wo I were talking about gold-mining. ".Gold-mining!" ho broke in: "ah, yes, I d onco went gold-mining at Pilgrim's Best in tho Transvaal, and it was beforo that that wo f had business about .Tim-.lim and tho lions. a i Do you know it?

Many and many i is tho timo that I havo thrown down my pick 0 nnd shovel in disgust, clambered out of my claim, and walked a couple of miles or so to d the top of some hill.

A hundred times a day I la- 1 uieutcd my own folly in having invested XBOO, which was about all that I was worth at tho time, in this gold-mining, Hut, like !l other better people before mo, I had been bitten by tho gold bug, and now had to take 'J j tho consequences. I had bought a claim out of which a man had mado n fortune X'5,000 or 0,000 at least as I thought, very cheap a" i that is, I had given him 500 down for it. It v as all that I had mado by a rough year's 'J elephant-hunting beyond tho Zambesi, and I signed deeply and prophetically when I saw my successful friend, who was a Yuukee, swoop up the roll of Standard Hank notes j with tho lordly air of tho man who made his V fortune, and cram thorn into his breeches c pockots. Well,' I said to him tho liapny rj vendor' it is a magnificent property, and I I only hope that my luok will bo as good as i yours has been.' Ho smiled; to my excited ,',j nerves it soemed that ho smiled ominously, ns ho answered mo in n peculiar Yankee 3 drawl: 'I guess, stranger, as I ain't tho S ouu to mako n man quarrel J with his food, more especial when there fffl ain't no moro going of the rounds and as i3 for that thero claim, well, she's been a good 1 uigger to mo j but between you and me, Misngor, speaking man to man, now that i. thero nin't auy tilthy lucre betweon us to 1 ,n obsculato tho feathers of tho truth, I guess i ,m She's uhout worked out I ri I gasped tho fellow's effrontory took J mv breath out of mo.

And wo worked, niv word, wo did work-oarly aud lato wo went at it hut never n bit of gold did wo sco j no, not oyon a nugget largo enough to mnkoascarf pin out of. The American gontlcmau had secured it all auS loft ns tho swoeplugs. mi or1 thr,co "'ontbs this went on, till at last I paid away all, or very near all, that was left of our littlo capitol in woges ond food for tho Kafirs and oursolvos. When I tell you that Uoer meal was sometimes as high as 4 a bag. you will understand that it did not tako long to run through our hanking account. At last the crisis came. On Saturday night I had paid tho men as nsual, aud bought n imtid of mcalio meal at COs. for thorn to fill themselves with, and thon I went with my boy Harrv aud sat on tho edgo of tho grent holo that wo had dug in the hlll-side, and which wo had in bitter mockery named Eldorado. Thoro wo sat in tho moonlight with our foot hanging over the odge of the claim, and were melan choly enough for anything. Presently I pulled out my purse and emptied its contents into my hand. Thero was n half sovereign, two florins, nine pence iusilver,no coppers for copper practically docR not circulate in South Africa, which is ono of tho tilings that mako living so dear there in all exactly fourteen and ninmmnco. Thero, Harry my hoy 1' I said, that is tho Bum total of our worldly wealth; that hol has swallowed all the rest.' By George.' said Master Harry, I say, father, you aud I shall havo to let ourselves out to work with tho Kafirs nnd live on mcalio pap,' aud ho sniggered nt his unpleasant littlo joke. Hut I was in no mood for joking, for it is not a merry thing to dig liko anything for months and ho completely ruined m tho pro cess, especially if yon happen to dislike dig giug, and consequently I resented Harry s light-hearteduess. He quiet, boy 1' I said, raising my hand as though to give him a cuff, with the result that tho half sovereign slipped out of it aud fell into tho gulf below. 'Oh, bother,' said I, 'it's gone. 'There, Dad,' said Harry, 'that's what comes of letting your angry passions riso; now we aro down to four and nine.' "I mado no answer to theso words of wis dom, but scumbled down tho deep sides of the claim followed by Harry, to hunt for my littlo all. Well, wo hunted and wo hunted, but tho moonlight is an uncertain thing to look for half sovereigns by, and thero was Borne looso soil about, for tho Kafirs had knocked off working at the very spot n couple of hours beforo. I took a pick and raked away tho clods of earth with it, in tho hopo of finding tho coin; but nil in vain. At last in sheer annoyance I struck tho sharp end of tho pickaxe down into tho soil, which was of a very hard nature. To my as tonishment it sunk in right up to the heft. Why, Harry,' I said. this ground must havo been disturbed!' I don't think so, father,' ho answored, but wo will soon seo,' and ho began to shovel out the soil with his hands. Oh,' ho said presently, it's only somo old stones; the pick lias gone down between them, look!' and he began to pull at one of the stones. I TOOK IT CUMOTJSLY AND HELD IT UP TO THE lilOHT." I say, Dad,' ho said presently, almost in a whisper, it's precious heavy, feol it and ho rose and gavo mo a round, brownish lump about tho sizo of a very largo apple, which ho was holding in both his nanus. I took it curiously ond hold it up to the light. It tnn very heavy. The moonlight fell upon its rough and fllth-cncrusted surface, and as I lookod curious little thrills of excitement be gan to pass through mo. But I could not bo sure. Give mo your knife, Harry,' I said. Ho did so; aud resting the brown stone on my knee I scratched at its surface. Great heavens, it was soft! Another second and tho secret was out, wo had found a great nuggot of puro gold, four pounds of it or moro. It's gold, lad,' I said, its gold, or I'm a Dutchman.' Harry, with his eyes staiting out of his head glared down at the long gleaming yel low scratch that I had mado upon the virgin metal, and then burst out into yell upon yell of exultation, that wont ringing away across the silent claims liko tho shrieks of somebody being murdered. "'Bo quiet,' I said, 'do youwaut every thief on the field after you Scarcely were the words out of my mouth when I heard a stealthy footstep approach ing. I promptly put the big nugget down and sat on it, and uncommonly hard it was.aud as I did so I saw a lcau, dark faco poked over tho edge of tho claim and a pair of beady eyes searching us out. I knew the faco. It be longed to a mau of very bad character known aB Handspike Tom, who had, I understood, been so named nt the Diamond Fields be cause he hod murdered his mate with a hand spike. He was now, no doubt, prowling about liko a human hyama to seo what ho could steal. "'Is that you, 'unter Quaternmln ho says. v" Yes, it's I, Mr. Tom,' I answered po litely.

'"Well, Mr. Tom,' I answered, 'that is not to bo wondered at. seeing that liko your self they are nocturnal birds.' 'Owl aftor 'owl 1' he repoated Btornly, taking no notico of my' interpretation, and I stops and says, "That's murder," and I listens again and thinks, "No, it ain't; that 'owl is the V)wl of hexul. tntion j somo one's been and got hiB fingers into a gummy yeller not, I'll swear, and gono off 'is 'cad in the sucking of them."

Yes, Mr. Tom,' put in Harry, beginning to weop, for Harry was n bmart boy, and saw tho difficulty wo wero in, 'that was it I hal loed becauso father beat me.' Well, now, did yer. my dear boy, did yer Well, all I can say is thnt a played-out old claim is a wonderful queer sort of placo to como to for to argify at 10 o'clock of night, and what's more, my sweet youth, if ever I should 'avo the argifying of yer' and ho leered unpleasantly at Harry 'yer won't 'oiler in quite such a jolly sort o' way.

Good-night to yer, 'unter Quater main gcod-night to yer, my argified young one and Mr. Tom turnod away disappointed and prowled oft" olsewhero, like a human jackal, to see what ho could thiovo or kill. Thank goodnoss I said, as I slipped off tho lump of gold. Now then, do you get up. Harry, and sco if that consummate villain has gono.' Harry did bo, and reported that hu had vanished towards Pilgrims' Best, and then wo set to work, and very carefully, but trembling with oxciteuient, with our hands hollowed out all the spaco of ground, into which I had struck the pick. Yes, as I hoped, thoro was a regular nest of nuggets, twelve in all, running from the sizo of a hazol-nut to that of a lien's egg, though of courso tho first one was much largcrthan that. How thoy all camo there nobody can say it was ono of tlioso extra ordinary freaks, with Btories of which, at any rate, all people acquaiutcd witli alluvial gold, mining will lie familiar. It turned out after wards thatthe American who sold mo tho claim had in the same way made his pile a much larger ono than ours, by tho way out of a single pocket, and then worked for six months without seeing color, after which ho gavo it up. "At any rato, thoro tho nuggets wero, to tho value, as it turned out afterwards, of about 1,250, so that after all I took out of thot holo 460 more thau I put into it. Wo got them all out and wrapped them up in a handkerchief, aud then fearing to carry liomo so much treasure, especially as wo know that Mr. Handspike Tom was on tho prowl, made up our minds to puss the night wnero wo wero a necessity which, disagreeable as it was, was wonderfully sweetened, by the presenco of that handkerchief full of virgin gold, which represented tho interest of my lost half.sovrroign. Slowly tho night woro away, for with tho lear ui iiuuiinpiKU iiiui ueioru luy eyes x did not daro to go to sleep, aud at last tho dawn camo blushing down tho sombro ways of night. I. got up and watched its perfect Srowth, till it opened liko a vast celestial ower upon tho eastern sky, aud tho sun beams began to spring in splendor from niountaiu-top to mountain-top. I watched it, and as I did so it flashed upon me, with a complete conviction that I had not felt bo fore, that I had had enough of gold-mining to last mo tho rest of my natural lifo, and I then and there mado up my mind to clear out of Pilgrims' Best and go and shoot buffalo towards Dolagoa Hay. Then I turned, took tho pick and shovel, aud, although it was a Sunday morning, woko up Harry and sot to work to seo if there wero any moro nuggets about. As I expected, thero was nono. What wo had got had lain together in a little pocket filled with soil that felt quite different from the stiff stuff round aud out Bide the pocket. Thoro was not another traco of gold. Of course, it is possible that thero were more pocketfuls somewhere about, but all I have to say is, I mado up my mind that, whoever found them, I should not and, as a matter of fact, I havo sinco heard that that claim has been the ruin of two or three peoplo.as it vory nearly was tho ruin of mo.

Shall I tako you with mo or scud you down to Durban Oh, take mo with you. father,' begged Harry, I want to kill a buffalo And supposing that tho buffnlo kills you instead I asked. Oh, never mind.' ho said gayly, thero are lots moro where I camo from.' I rebuked him for his flippancy, but in the eud I consented to tako him." CnAPTiin II. Something over a fortnight had passed sinco the night when I lost half a sover eign and found twelvo hundred and fifty pounds in looking for it, and instead of that horrid hole, for which, after all, Eldorado was scarcely a misnomer, n very different scene stretched away before us clad in tho silver robe of tho moonlight. Wo wero camped Harry and I, two Kafirs, a Scotch cart and six oxen on the swelling side of a great wavo of bush-clad land. Just where we had made our camp, howovor, the bush was very sparse, and only grew about in clumps, while hero and thero woro singlo flat-topped mimosa trees. To our right a little stream, which had cut a deep channel for itsolf in tho bosom of the slope, flowed musically on between banks green with maidenhair, wild asparagus and many beautiful grasses. The bed-rock hero was red granite, and in tho courso of centuries of patient washing the water had hollowed out somo of the lingo slabs in its path into great troughs and cups, and these we used for bathing places. No Roman lady, with her baths of porphyry or alabaster, could have had a moro delicious spot to lave herself than wo had within fifty yards of our skcrm or rough inclosure of mimosa thorn that wo had dragged together round the cart to protect us from the attacks of lions. There wore several of theso about, as I know from their spoor, though wo had neither beard nor seen them. It was a little nook whero tho eddy of tho stream had washed away a mase of soil, and ou the edge of it there grew a most beautiful old mimosa thorn. Beneath tin thorn wab a large smooth slab of granite fringed all round with maidenhair and other ferns, that sloped gently down to a pool of the clearest spark, ling water, which lay in a bowl of grani'.fl about tefl feet wide by flvo feet deep in tho centre. Hereto this slab we went every morning to bathe, and that delightful bath is among the most pleasant of my hunting rem. iuisceuees, as it is also for reasons that will presently appear among the most painful. "ItwaBa lovely night, and Harry and I 'ant thero to the windward ot the fire, at which tho two Kafirs were busily employed in cooking somo impala steaks off a buck which Harry, to his great joy, had shot that morning, nnd wero as perfectly contented with ourselves anil tho world at largo as two peoplo could possibly bo. The night was beautiful, it would rcipllro somebody with moro words on tho tip of their tongue than I havo to properly describe tho chastened maj esty of thoso moonlit wilds. Away forever ami forever, nwnv to the mysterious north, rolled tho grent hush ocean over which tho silence brooded. Thoro beneath us, a mllo or more to the right, ran Iho wide Oliphant and mirror-like Unshod hack tho moon, whoso sil verspcarsweroshivcredonits breast and then tossed in twisted lines of light far and wido about tho mountains and tho plain. Down upon tho river banks grew greut tim ber trees that, through the stillness, pointed solemnly to heaven, nnd the beauty of tho night Iny upon them liko a cloud. Every where wns silence silonco in tho stnrred depths, silonco ou tho fnir bosom of the sleeping enrth. Now, if ever, great thoughts juiight rise in a man's mind, aud for nTipaco ho might lose his little, ness in tho scuso that ho partook of the pure immensity about him. Almost miglit ho seem to see tho spirit of the heavens, girdled round with stars, passing down in the dead quiet to look, now that the night had covered up her sins, upon tho sleeping face of his lost bride, tho earth. Almost might he hear the echoes of angelic voices, as the spirits poised on bent and rushing pinions swept onward from universe to universe and dis. tinguish the whito flngors of tho wind play. ing in tlie tresses ot uio trees. Hark 1 what was that From far away down by the river thero comes a mighty rolling sound, then another, and another. It is tho lion looking his meat. I saw Harry shiver and turn a littlo pale. Ho was a plucky boy enough, hut tho roar of n lion for tho first timp in the solemn hush veldt at night is apt "o shake tho nerves of any lad. 'Ijious.my boy.' I said; 'they aro hunting down by tho river thoro but I don't think that you need mako yourself uneasy. Wo havo boen hero three nights now, and if thoy wero going to pay us a visit I should think that thoy would havo dono so beforo this. However, wo will mako np the fire.' Horo, Pliaraoh,.do you nnd Jim-Jim get somo moro wood beforo wo go to sleep, else tho cats will bo purring round you beforo morning.' "Pharaoh, a great brawny Swazi, who had been working for mo at Pilgrims' Best, laughed, roso and stretched himself, and then calling to Jim-Jim to bring tho n&u null II Jinn, mill ii-ii nil ill liiu iinnm- light towards a clump of sugar-bush whero wo cut our fuel from somo dead trees. Ho was a fine follow in his way, was Pharaoh, and I thing that ho had been named Pharaoh becauso he had au Egyptian cast of counte nance aud a royal sort of swagger about him. But his way was a somewhat peculiar way, on account of tho uncertainty of hiB temper, and very fow people could got ou with him; also if ho could got it ho would drink liko a fish, and when ho drank ho becamo shockingly blood thirsty. Theso wero his bad points; his good ones wore that, liko most peoplo of tho Zulu blood, ho became exceedingly attached to ono if he took to you at all ho was a hard working and intelligent man, and about us dare-dovil and plucky a fellow at n pinch ns I havo over had to do with. He was uhout five-and-thirty years of ago or so, hut not a 'keshla'or ringed man. I beliovo that ho got into trouble in somo wayin Swaziland, and tho authorities of his triho would not allow him to assume tho ring, and that is why ho camo to work nt tho gold fields. Tho old man, or rather fad, Jim-Jim, wns n Mnpoch Kafir, or Kuohnoso, nud oven in tho light of subsequent events I fear that I cannot speak very well of him. Ho was au idlo and carolcss young rascal, and only that vory morning I had to toll Pharaoh to give him a beating for letting the oxen stray, which ho did with the greatest gusto.although ho was by way of being very fond of Jim. Jim, Indeed, I saw him consoling Jim-Jim afterwards with a pinch of suull from his own ear-box, whilst ho explained to him that the noxt timo it came in tho way of duty to flog him, ho meant to thrash him with tho other hand, so us to cross tho old cuts and make a pretty pattern on his hack, Well, off thoy went, though Jim-Jim did not at all like lcavingthe camp at that hour, oven when tho moonlight was so bright, aud in duo courso returned safely enough with a great bundle of wood. I laughed at Jim-Jim and asked him if hu had seen nuythiitg. and ho said yes, ho had ho had seen two large, yellow eyes staring at him from behind a bush, and heard something snore. As, howover, on further investigation tho yellow eyes and the snore appeared to have existed only in Jim-Jim's lively imagination, I was not greatly disturbed by thiB alarming report; but, having seen to the making up of the fire, got into the skcrm ami wont quietly to sleep with Harry by my side. Some honrB aftejwards I woko up with a start. I don't know what woko mo. The moon had gono down, or at least was almost hidden behind tho soft horizon of hush, only hor red rim being visible. Also a wind had sprung up and was driving long hurrying lines of cloud across tho starry sky, and altogether a great change had como over the mood of tho night, fly the look of the sky I judged that wo must be about two hours from day break. Tho oxen, which were as usual tied to tho disselboom of tho Scotch cart, were very restless they kept snullliug nud bluwing and rising up ami lying down again, so I at onco suspected that thoy must wind something. Presently I knew what it was that they winded, for within fifty yards of us a lion roared, not very loud, hut quite loud enough to make my heart come into my mouth. Pharoali was sleeping on the other side of tho cart, and beneath it I saw him raise his head and listen Lion, Inkoos,' ho whispered, lion.' Jim-Jim also jumped up, and by the faint Foil n it It Kxcellent, Mr i, 1880. Mi-nan. ItllCR t ROM: riM.e Mnd urn It nnv 3 brlllci of SilHArAMLLA, O. O, L), haie bad ono bottln, found It eicellant.

"Thinking thnt it was as well to bo tiro pared for emergencies, I told Pharonh to throw wood upon tho llro, nnd woke up Hurry, who I vorlly believe was capable of sleeping happily through the crack of doom. Ho was n littlo soared at first, but presently tho ex. cltement of the position came homo to him, nnd ho beenmo quite anxious to seo his majes. ty face to face. 1 got my rifle haudv mid gavo Hnrry hls-n Westlev Itlchards falling block, which Is a very useful gun for a voutli, being light nnd yet a good killing rifle, and then we waited, For n long timo nothing hnppened, nnd I begnn to think that the Ik st thing that we could do would bo to go to sleep again, when suddenly I heard a sound more liko a cough than a roar within about twenty yards of tho skerm. Wo all looked out, but could seo nothing nud then followed another period of suspense. It was very trying to Iho nerves, this waiting for an attack that might be du eloped from any quarter, or might not bo developed at all; and though 1 was au old hand at thissortof business, 1 was anxious about Harry, for It is wonderful hnw tho presenco of anybody to whom one is at tached unnerves a man In moments of danger, and thnt made mo nervous. I know, although it was now chilly enough, I could feel tho perspiration running down my nose, aud ill order to relievo the strain on my at tention, employed myself in watching a beetle which appeared to be attracted by the firelight, and was sitting before it thought, fully rubbing his antenna' against each other. "Suddenly the beetle gavo such a jump that he nearly pitched headlong Into the tiro, nnd so did wo nil- gave jumps, I mean, and no wonder, for from right under the skerm fence thero came a most frightful roar n roar that literally made theSeotch eart shako nnd shako and took the breath out of me. "Harry made an exclamation, Jim-Jim howled outright, while the poor oxen, who wero terrified almost out of their hides, shiv. ered and lowed piteously. The night wits almost entirely dnrk now, for the moon had quite set ami tho clouds had covered up the stars, so that the only light that we had came from tho fire, which by this time was burning up brightly again. But, as you know, firelight is absolutely use less to shoot by.it is so uncertain, anil besides It ptnetratis hut a very littlo way into the darkness, although if one is iu tho dark out side one can seo it from so far away. Presently, the oxen, after standing still for a moment, suddenly winded tho linn and did what I feared they would began to skrek.' that is, to try aud break looso from tho trektow to which they wero tied, ami rush ofT madly into the wilderness. Lions know of this habit ou the part of oxen, which are, I do believe, tho most foolish animals under the sun, n sheep being it very Solomon compared to them ami it is by no means un common for a lion to got in such a position that a herd or span of oxen may wind him, skrek, break their roims, and rush olf into tho bush. Of course, once they ore there, they am helpless in tho dark and then the lion chooses the one that ho loves best and eats him at his leisure. Well, round and round went our six poor ijxen, nearly trampling us to death in their mud tush; indeed, had we mil hastily tum bled out of the way, wo should have been trampled to death, or at the least seriously injured. As it was, Harry was run over, aud poor .lim-Jim being anight by tho trektow somewhere beneath the arm, was hurled right across tho skerm, landing by my side only sbmo paces off. Snap went the disHclhnoni of the cart ho. neath tho transverse strain put upon it. Had it not broken the cart would huo overset; us it was, in another minute, oven, cart, trek- low, reiius, iiiimt-ji iumh-iih;u!ii, iiiiii uvur.y. thing were soon tied in one vast heaving, plunging, hollowing, and seemingly iucx. tricable knot. For a moment or two this state of affairs took my attention oft" from tho lion that had caused it, hut whilst I was" wondering what on earth was to bo dono noxt. and what wo should do if tho cattlo broke looso into tho bush and wero lost, for cattlo frightened iu this manner will go right away liko mad things, it was suddenly recalled in a very painful fashion. For at that moment I perceived by tho light of tho Uro a kind of gleam of yollow travelling through the air towards us. "'Tho lion I the lion 1 holloaed Pharaoh, and as ho did so ho, or sho, for it was a great, gaunt lioness, half wild no doubt with hunger, lit right in tho middle of the skerm, and stood thero in tho smoky gloom ami lashed hor tail and roared. 1 seized my riflo aud fired it at her, but what between tho con. fuBiou and my agitation and tho uncertain light, I missed her and nearly shot Pharaoh. Tho flash of tho rifle, however, throw tho whole scene into strong reiiof, and a wild one it was, I can tell you -with the seething mass of oxen twisted all round tho cart in such a fashion that their heads looked as though they were growing out of their rumps and their horns seemed to protrude from their hacks; the smoking fire witli just a blaze in the heart of tho smoke; Jim-Jim in tho foreground, where the oxen had thrown him iu their wild rush, stretched out thero in terror; aud then, as a centre to tho picture, the great gaunt lioness glaring round with hungry yellow eyes, roaring and whining as she made up her mind what to do. It did not take her long, howovor, just tho timo that it takes a flash to die into dark ness, for, before I couhlflro agaiu or do any thing, with a most tiendish snort sho sprang upon poor Jim-Jim. I heard tho imfortuuato lad shriek, and thou almost instuntly I saw his legs thrown into the air. The lioness had seized him by tho neck, and with a sudden jerk thrown his body over her back so that his lugs hung down upon tho further sido. Thon, without tho slightr st hesitation, and apparently without any ditlleulty. she cleared the skerm fence at a single bound, and blar ing poor Jim-Jim with her vanished into the darkness beyond, iu tho direction of the bathing-place that I have already described. We jumped up. perfectly mad with horror and fear, and rushed wildly after her, tiring shots at haphazard on the chance that she would bo frightened by them into dropping her prey, but nothing could wo see, and nothing could wo hoar, 'iho lioness had vanished into the darkness, taking Jim-Jim with her, and to attempt to follow her till daylight was madness. Wo should only ex pose ourselves to the risk of a like fate. So with' scared and heavy lit arts wo crept hack to the skerm, and sat down to wait for daylight, which now could not bo much moro than an hour off. It was absolutely useless to trv even to disentangle the oxen till then, so all that was left for us to do was to sit aud wonder how it came to pass that ono should bo taken and tho other left, ami to hope against hope that our poor servant might havo been inercifullv delivered from tho lion's jaws. At length the faint light came stealing like a ghost up the long slope of bush and glinted ou the 'tnugled oxen's horns, ami with and frigliteuod faces we got up and set .o the ta ot ilibcn. tuugliug the oxen till such timo as there should be light enough to enable us to follow tho taii of tho lioness which hud gone off with Jim-Jim. And here n fresh trouble awaited us, for when at last with infinite difficulty we had got tho great helpless brutes louse, it was only to find that one of tho best of thorn was ory sick. There was no mis take about tho way he stood with his legs slightly apart ami his head hanging down. Ho had got the rcdwutor, I was sure of it. Of all tho difficulties connected with life and travelling iu South Africa thoso connected with oxen are perhaps tho worst. The ox is the most exasperating animal in tho world, a negro excepted, He has absolutely no con stitution, aud never neglects an opportunity of falling sick of some mysterious diseuso. He will get thin upon the slightest provoca tion, and from mere maliciousness die of poverty whereas it is his chief delight to turn round and refuse to pull whenever he finds himself well iu tho centre of a river, or the wagon-wheel nicely fast in a mud hole. Drive him a few miles over rough roads and yon will find that ho is footsore turn him loose to fei d I nan Known a Hod carry a nvo-ycar-uM ox over a utone null 4 feet hlgb In this faahloii, unit a mllcawuj inic the bash oojorxl.

IEd itoh and you will dlsooTer that lie hag run sway, or if ho lias not run away bo lias of malice aforethought eaten 'tulip' nnd poisoned himself. Thero is always something wrong with him. Tho ox is a bruto. It was of a pleco with his accustomed behavior for the one in question to break out on purpose, probably with rcdwator just when a lion had walked off with his herder. It was ex. aetly what I should havo expected, and I was therefore neither disappointed nor surprised. "Well, It was no use crying, as I should almost have liked to do, becauso if this ox had redwater it wns probable that tho rest of them had it too, although they had been sold to me ns 'wilted,' Unit is, proof ngainst such diseases ns rcdwutor nnd lung.slek. One gets hardened to tills sort of thing in South Africa in course of time, for I suppose in no other country in tho world is tho waste of ntilmnl life so grent. "So, taking my rifle and telling Harrv to follow me (for wo had to leave Phnrnoh to look nfter the oxen Phnroah's lean kino I called theiiO, I started to see if anything could be found of or appertaining to tho unfortunate Jlm.Jlm. 'I lie ground round our littlo camp was hard and rocky, and we could not hit off any spoor of the lioness, though just outside the skerm wo saw n drop or two of blood. About three hundred ynrils from the camp, nud a little to tho right, wnn npntch of sugar bush mixed up with the usual mimosa, and for this I made, thinking thnt the lioness would hao been sure to take her proy thero to devour it. Ou we pushed through the long grans that was bent down beneath tho weight of the soaking dew. In two minutes we wero wet through up to the thighs, as wet as though wo had waded through water. In due course, however, wo reached the patch of bush, and in tho gray light of the morning cautiously nnd slowly pushed our way Into it. it was very dark under the trees for tho sun was not yet up, so wo walked with tho most extreme caro, half expecting every minute to come across the lioness licking tho bones of poor Jim-Jim. But no lioness could wo soe, and as for Jim-Jim there was not even n linger joint of him to bo found. Evidently they had not come here. "So pushing through tho hush wo proceed cd to hujit every other likely spot nhout, with the same result. I suppose she must have taken him right away,' I said at last, sadly enough. At any rate', he will he dead by now, so God havo mercy on him. wo can't help him. What's to bo dono now 1 suppose that we had better wbbIi our sohosin tho pool, and then go back and get something to eat. I am filthy,' said Harry. "This was a practical, if a somewhat un feeling, suggestion. At least it struck me as unfeeling to talk of washing when poor Jim Jim had been so recently eaten. Howover, I did not lot my sentiment carry mo away, so we went down to the beautiful spot that I have described, to wash. I wns tho first to reach it, which I did by scrambling down the ferny bank. Then I turned round and started back with a yell, as well I might, for from almost beneath iny feet there camo a most awful snarl. I had lit down almost upon tho back of tho lioness, who had been sleeping ou tho slab where wo stood to dry ourselves a,fter bathing. With a suarl and a growl, before I could do anything, beforo I could oven cock my riflo, she had bounded right across tho cryktal pool aud vanished over the opposite bank. It was all done in an instant, as quick as thought. "Sho had been sleeping ou the slab, and, oh, horror! what was that sleeping beside her? It was tho rod remains of poor Jim Jim, lvini! ou a natch of blood-stained rock. '"Oh! father, father!' shrieked Harry, look iu the water.' I looked. Thero, floating in tho enntro of tho lovoly, tranquil pool, was Jim-Jim's head. Tho lioness had bitten it right off, and it had rolled down the sloping rock into tho water. ClIAI'TKll III. Poor Jim-Jim I Wo buried what was left of him, which was not very much, in an old bread-bag, and though whilst he lived his virtues were not great, now that lie was gone wo could havo wept over him. Indeed, Harry did weep outright; whilo I registered a quiet littlo vow on my own account that I would let daylight into that lioness before I was forty-eight hours older, if by any means it could bo dono. "Well, wo buried him, and thero ho lies where lions will not trouble him any more. So there is an end of the book of Jim-Jim. "Tho question that now remained was, how to circumvent his murderess. I know that she would bo sure to return "as soon as she would bo hungry again, but I did not know when she would bo hungry. Sho had left so little of Jim-Jim behind her that I should scarcely expect to seo her the next night, unless indeed sho had cutis. Still, I felt that it would not bo wiso to misBthe chance of her coming, so wo set about to mako preparations for her reception. Tho first thing thnt wo did was to strengthen tho hush wall of the skerm by dragging a largo quantity of the tops of thoiu-trees together and laying them ono on the other iu such a fashion that tho thorn pointed outwards. This, after our experience of tho fate of Jim-Jim, seemed a M'ry necessary precaution, since if whero ono sheep can jump another can follow, as the Kafirs say, how much moro is this the case whero au animal so active and so vigorous as tho lion is concerned! And now came the futher question, how wero wo to beguile the lioness to return? Lions aro animals that have a strange knack of appearing when thoy are not wanted and keeping studiously out of tho way when their presenco is required. Harrv, who as I havo said was au emi nently .iructicul boy, suggested to Pharaoh that ho should go and sit outside the skerm iu the, moonlight as a sort of bait, assuring him that ho would have nothing to fear, as wo should certainly kill tho lioness beforo sho killed him. Pharaoh however, straugely enough, did not seem to take to this sug gestion. Indeed ho walked away, much put out with Harry for having made it. It gave me au idea, howover. "'Well!' I said, 'thero is that ox. Ho must die sooner or later, bo wo may as well utilize him.' "Now, about thirty yards to tho loft of our skerm. if one stood facing down the hill towards the river, was the stump of a tree that had been destroyed by lightning many vears heforo, standing eqnidistantly between, but a little iu front of, two clumps of bush, which wero severally somo fifteen paces from it. Here was the very placo to tie tho ox ami accordingly a littlo beforo sunset the poor animal was led forth by l'huruoh and mado fast thero, littlo knowing, poor bruto, for what purpose; and wo commenced our long vigil, this timo without a lire, for our object was to attract tho lioness ami not to scare her. "For hour aftor hour wo waited, keeping ourselves awake by pinching each other it is, by the way, remarkable what a difference in the force of pinches requisite to tho oo easinn exists iu the mind of pincher and pinehee, but no lioness came. Tho moon waxed and tho moon waned, and thon at last the moon went down, and darkness swal lowed up the world, but no lion came to swallow us up. We waited till dawn, be cause we ilid not dare to go to sleep, and then at last wo took such rest as wo could get. That morning wo went out shooting, not because we wanted to, for wo wero too do. pressed aud tired, but hecausu we had no more meat. For three hours or moro wo wandered about in a broiling sun looking for something to kill, hut with absolutely no re. suits. For some unknown reason tho gumo had grown very scarce about the spot, though when I was there two years before every sort of large game except rhinoceros and elephant wits particularly abundant. The lions, of whom thero were many, alone remained. and I fancy that it was tho fact of tho game thoy live on liaing temporarily migrated that made them so. daring and ferocious.

H Well, wo hunted all about, and nothing 'UJHI could wo see, not oven n duck or a bush t'lH buck; nnd nt last thoroughly tired and out of 'B temper wo startod on our way back to comiV"H passing over tho brew of n stccpish hUl to do liH so.

JJH tired yards to my left, his beautiful curved v H horns outlined against tho soft bluo of the t sky, I saw a noblo koodoo bull (Strcpsicorofl VfliiH kudu).

I ejaculated, 'surely "VH you are not going to 'and just at that mo- wH went the riflo went off. 'VH "Aud then I think I saw what was, in its uH way, ono of tho most wonderful things I over ''4H remember iu my hunting exporience. Tho $3H koodoo was nt tho moment in tho nir, clearing H u pile of stones with its foro logs tucked up iH underneath it All in an instant tho legs '-jH stretched themselves out in a spasmodic fasti- 'ifH ion, nnd it lit ou them nud thoy doubled up JH beneath it. Down went tho noble buck, yH down on to its head. For n moment it seemed wl to ho standing on its horns, its hind legs high 'VJLI in the air, nnd then fiver it went and lay still, H Great Heavens!' I said, why, youSrO l'3H hit him! Ho'sdcad.' fsH As for Harry, ho said nothing, but merely ?3H looked scared, as well ho might. A man, lot $iH alono a boy, might have tired a thousand 'tH such shots without over touching tho object, ''ffjM which, mind you, was springing and bound- JjH ing over rocks quito 500 yards away, and hero 'H this lad, taking a snap shot and 4H merely allowing for olevntion by in- XyM stinct. for lie did not put np hia sights, had knocked tho bull over aS 'i dead as n door-nail. Well, I made no furthol ItH remark, tho occasion wns too solemn for talk- Mjl ing, hut merely led the way to whero tho iH koodoo lay. Thero ho was, beautiful and VvjH quite still; unci there, high up, about half-. .JH way down his nock, was a neat, round holo. The bullet had severed the spinal marrow, jH passing right through tho vortebno and away ;H on tho othor side. 3kB It wus already evening when, having cut ;!JM us much of tho best meat as wo could carry sBH from the bull, aud tied a red handkerchief "iH and some tufts of grass to his spiral horns, ''JH which, by the way, must have been J$H nearly flvo foot in length, in tho hopo XH of keeping tho jackals and ansvogols 'iH (vulturfs) from him, wo finally got back to camp, to find Pharaoh, who was getting; 'nH rather anxious at our absence, ready to greet jH us with tho pleasing intelligence that another ?$HH ox was siok. Hut oven this dreadful bit o ti3H intelligence could not dash Harry's spirits; SaH tho fact of the matter being that, incrodlbla 'H as it may appear, I do verily beliovo that in ..fiLH his heart of hearts ho set down the death of .fyjM that koodoo to the credit of his own skill. tiH Now, though tho lad was a tidy shot enough, '3H this of courso was ridiculous, and I told htm l so very plainly. Hl By the timo that wo had finished our sup. -H per of koodoo steaks (which would havo H3 boon bettor if tho koodoo had been it i-,9H littlo younger), it was time to get ready for "itlH Jim Jim's murderess again. All the aftor- tH noon Pharaoh told us the unfortunate ox hod vH been walking round and round in a circle as vH cattle iu tho last stago of redwater generally ;!jH do. Now it had como to a standstill, and aH wus swaying to and fro with its I'jjM head hanging down. So wo tied '7HH him up to tho stump of the ',;H tree as on the previous night, knowing that $H if the lioness did not kill him ho would ba xflB dead by morning. Indoed I was afraid that itjH ho would bo of littlo uso as a bait, for a lion 'DH is a sportsmauliko animal, and, unless he is l very hungry, generally profers to kill his H own dinner, though when onco killed he wilt UH como back to it again and again. 'SM Thou wo repeated our exporienco of tho HH previous night, sitting thero hour after lH hour, till at last Harry wont fast -rH asleep, and oven I, though I am, 0&j accustomed to this sort of thing, jijM could scarcely keep my eyes open. Indeed iuH was just dropping off, when Pharaoh gavo TH me a shove. -SaLH 1 Astm 1' ho whisporod. I was all awake in a second, and listening iH with all my ears. From the clump of bush to ftH tho right of tho lightning-shattered stump JM to which the ox was tied camo a faint crock- yjH ling noiso. Presently it was repeated. Some. "ijH thing was moving thero, faintly and quietly jB enough, but still moving perceptibly, for in TjgRH the intense stillness of tho night any sound laH seemed loud. -'miI I woke up Harry, who instantly said, sH Where is she whero is sho?' and began to 9H point his riflo about in a fashion that was jH moro dangerous to us aud tho oxon than to IH auy possible lioness. !?H Hush up! I whispered savagely; and H as I did so. with a low and hideous 'growl a "jfjaH flash of yellow light sped out of the clomp !fM of bush, post the ox, anil into tho correspond- H ing clump upon tho other side. The poor ".vH sick brute gavo a sort of groan, and staggered ,.t$iH round aud then began to tremble. I could '5H sco it do bo clearly in the moonlight, whioh tH was now very bright, and I felt a hrnto for sH having exposed tho unfortunate animal ta ?'IH such terror as ho must undoubtedly bo t J undergoing. Tho lioness, for it was sho, passed so quickly that wo could not M oven distinguish her movements, much less rM shoot. Indeed at night it is absolutely uso. 'fH less to attempt to .moot unloss tho object is :(H very close and standing porfectly still, and gM then the light is bo deceptive and it is so "aiH difficult to see tho forosight that tho best shot 'H will miss moro often than he hits. 11 Sho will be back again presently, I XM said look out, but for heaven's sako don't fire unless I tell you to.' tilH Hardly wero the words out of my mouth; 1JH when back sho camo and again passed the OS Jj without striking him. 'aMiH What ou earth is she doing whispered 'HM Harry. yzM Playing with it as a cat does a mouse, I qfl suppose. Sho will kill it presently. jsM As I spoke the lioness once more flashed vM out of tho bush, and this time sprang right --nH over tho doomed ox. It was an exciting sight iM to seo her clear hiiu in tho bright moonlight, H as though it were aAtrick that sho had been S taught. -9H I believe that sho has escaped from a circus,' whispered Harry j 'it's jolly to seo U her jump.' t-H "I Raid nothing, but I thought tony6elt H that if it was, Master Harry did not quite an-, ;3M predate the performance, and small blame to 'IpM him. At any rato, his teeth wore chattering fM n bit.

There are two distinct types of joy at these places. There is the happiness of tho fed and of those who provide the feast. At tho Fite Points Mission, the oldest organized charity for children in tho city, there are as tho rentier's eye runs over theso lines, fifty ladies of the Homo Missionary Society, of the Methodist Church, bustling about with beaming faces and half tearful cvrs, as they wait upon overSOO children and women who are attendants at tho day school, Sunday school or Dibit1 class of the mission. For thirty-soven years the ladies of the society havo labored among tho children of the poverty-stricken inhabitants of theii'eigh borhood of tho Five Points, and the annual dinner at tho Mission bus como to bo lecog nized as the greatest institution of that sec tion. Tables are improvised by boards laid upon tho seven long rows ofhttlo desks in the schoolroom to-day, and seven other ta bles arranged iu tho dining-room upstairs whero tho fivo hundred pupils of tho day school gel a hearty meal oneo each day during tho year. On all theso tables aro heaped up delicious turkeys, crisped littlo pigs, great rounds of roust beef, chickens, ducks und geeso (jaloro, layer cakes with chocolate between, jelly cakes, spiced oukoi, cukes big, cokes littlo, pies by the scoro, niiuco. apple, plum, peach, custard and pumpkin, candies ond custards, currouts and cranberries, flowers and all manner of orna ments. Mothers of well-fed aud well kept boys aud girls, mothers who as tney outline tiieir own little ones mm tucK them in nt night, suy muttered prayers for help for tho half-stiirved babes of poverty. They work us they pray, and for n week be fore Thanksgiving they labor in their own kitchens to conjure something that will mako Thanksgiving more than a nuiio and a by word to tho MX) little ones who, living in tho squalid tenements of tlio Five Points neigh borhood, take advuntiigo of tho shelter, tho daily dinner and the mental and moral edu cation which the Mission oilers to them. There was a programme of exercises by tho children to-day of singing, recitations and other entertaining numbers, and after this, ut 3 o'clock, tho little people set to at tho good things on the tables. Each table is pre. sided over by a delegation from n church, and among thoso represented nro St. Paul's, thu Juno htreet, the Second street, tho Washington squoro, tho Madi son avenuo, the l'ortv-third street, tho Asbury, tho old John Street, tho Willett Street, thu Perry Street, the Ttventy-ftmith Street, tho Seventeenth and tho Eighteenth Streets' churches of this city. The ladies of Brooklyn Methodist churches have also tables. Thoro is provision enough to feed 2,000, and what remains after tho feast will bo reminders of Thanksgiving in the daily din nor to the school children for a week. Paradise Park separates tho Mission from tho Fixe Points Houso of Industry, and those ttvonoblo charities are struggling to mako the nnuiofor this littlo, payed triangle appro, priato. Two hundred nnd soventy-fivo littlo chaps, from two and a half to thirteen years old; orphans, and many of th'oni worse titan orphans in being children of dissoluto pur. outs -am here provided with a homo, fed, clothed and educated to earn a living.

Thu joyous faces of the children were beau tiful to look upon as they took part heartily in the exi reins. TIiIh eutirtaiunieiit was preceded by a big banquet in the dining loom at which the little people filled theuiselvi s with turkey and cranberry sauce, potatoes, turnips, celery mid mince pie. While tlio children wero singing and reciting, the out door poor of the neighborhood took tlnir places at the tables, and more than M)0 shab bily clad and pinched faced men and women, who were tluiv, may say that they had a good incut to day. These are but samples of tho celebration of the day by tho generous people of New York and their moro unfortunate neighbors, Tho city itself provides for at least one feast, day iu the year for the impoverished, and oven thoso routined in the penal institutions are reminded substantially that the day is a feast-day outside.
