Only those who have experii-t 1 it ran realize tliu excitement caused ly witiiessin; a hniid-to-hiind conflict be tween tWO HllVIIJfl', lllltllllicd boasts. I Lave witnessed hull lights in Mexico, nnd wen it python crush the life out of a culf in hoiiili Aim-ricu, luit never gazed on n inoro tin-tiling' episode tl' on out) lint Algerian night lit a water JMMll llbollt tWO llllllllwl Illill'H in tlu In- U'rior. Hosido the pool wore several trees of it fair nic, in tint lmiii-lu-i of ono of which had been plated a small jilittform hidden unions tlm clustered leaves, from which hiding place it was convenient to shoot tiny iinininlH that might coiim to tint pool to drink during tho night. Thither repaired ono cvoii Inir noon nfter Hiindown, Maccovoy and myself, ncconipanied by his Aral) ser vmit, n young mini named Axilla, w ho lioro our spare guns mid acted an gen Mill factotum to iih liolh on expeditions of this nature It is dilllciilt for me, in my cooler moments, to climb a tree, and tlit smooth, straight stem proved extremely troublesome, to swarm. How ever, with the help of Mac and Axilla, I managed it and secured a com fort a bin perch. They followed with great fa cility, being both slight, active men, mill at once made I lie guns ready. The moon rose gradually, and I hiufi good opportunity to study perfect si lence. Nothing ran be more deeply silent than a still right In the desert. Am there is little or no vegetation in these vast oceans of sand, there is no insect life, and for several hours after the moon rose absolute silence reigned. Wo did not speak. There was no wind. It seemed as if there was no living thing In thai wide spread expanse nf country. I was beginning to feel sleepy and nod frequently, when a prolonged roar sounded close at hand. In an Instant wo were wide awake and grasped our guns nervously. At the next instant thu roar was answered from a location immediately beneath us. On looking down we saw a lioness, lying on her Wily, her head between her paws, and her long tail waiving luxuriously to ami fro. She looked like a huge cut enjoy ing mime pleasurable sensation. Almost Instantly it third "woof! woof!" rounded at our hacks, "(old, Doc!" breathed Mac, "we are in for it bag to night!" and a moment later two mag nilieent males stepped slowly and ma jestically into view. The female con tinued to purr and wave her tail gently. As soon as the two lions spied each other they prepared for action. Slowly mid carefully they nearcd each other, tho lioness mcaiiuhilo watching them us a ral docs a mouse. Closer and closer they drew, while we, spellbound, reserved our tiro to witness tho terri ble duel that w as Impending. And now tliey crouch and with mu tual roars of rage spring at each other, and, meeting, in midlcap, fall, biting and tearing, to tho earth. We can hear their bones crush between their powerful jaws like rgg-shcls beneath a man's boot-heel. The lioness, main taining her trampii! altitude, watched tho coullict, as it Kccmrd to my excited eyes, with a devilish smile on her face. Over and over they rolled, while the sickening sound of champing, hones tilled tho air, mingled with their fran tic roaring and tho movement of their hodics as they thrashed through the whirling sand. Hy this time my nerves were so wrought up that I could stand tho terrllio spectacle no longer, - and, taking deliberate aim at tho lioness, behind her shoulder lade, 1 let fly. Above the rumble of id smooth-bore sounded the shriek of 111 li.ltl...l.l ll tll.t ll.l.lt f I. .ill 11. .1.1 into her vitals. The two duelists at one ceased their encounter, and as one if them turned lie received Maccovov's rifle bullet iu tho head, the missile piercing the hollow over tho eye, whore thu skull is weak, and entering tho brain; death was almost instantaneous. Tho other nialo with a thundering "woof!" gave, a mighty spring and landed half way up the tivo trunk, nearly shaking us from uir perch. Asilbt hastily, discharged one of the spare guns, rJav-lmng into his face, but probably tho charge only grazed him, for fulling buck ho disappeared into the darkness toward where tho mosiu and cries of tho lioness givw fainter and fainter eiery moment. The moon being on the w ane, ufu-r all founds had ceased we ivliirnod In camp, with many promises to each other to take up tho NMr of our Woundisl enemies in (ho niuriiiug and track them to their death. Aitirdiu;: ly i d. it break, with a party of littt Anib le.il. Is He n ttiriicd to the t..i!o" ml .were sikiu oil the pisiru the wounded lioness. The sand wa torn up for finite a space, oh if the ani mal had suffered terrible agony, and following the trail for at least nine miles (n a southeasterly direction, the dogs gave tongue at a tunic risk brake, that extended on three side of quite a UAy of brackWi water. Home four or five of the dogs, of better blood than the average Arab cur, dashed into tho tangle, and tho next Instant we had tho satisfaction of seeing the mangled re mains of one Hung tip In tho air, from about the center of the patch. A iliorus of yelp and snarlings now set in, and ono disconsolate r.uv limped painfully out, his . ribs bare of flesh where the lioness' paw had struck him. We were now in a i liniment. After an hour's infernal clatter by tho beaters, wo were as far from getting her royal highness out as ever, for show herself she would not. "If the tamarisk is only dry enough," mw.tli Mac. "we, can soon smoke her out;" and he galloped round through the beaters ami a volley oi minim; ,i-i.b-4 ruined into the brake. 'I Ins fetched her. She made a gallant charge out and almost up to us, before we gave her all four barrels. It stopped her, and for a moment the noble bensi iumI h! mined. Then, as the smoke cleared awaV, we saw her return to the shelter. Mote torches were thrown In, and four times did the desperate Holi ness charge us tl.iiinllcssly, and receive our lire, before finally biting the dust. She had eleven bullet hides ill hv. beside the smashed shoulder I had given her the nijr'it before. With that bullet in her,(whichhad pas ;ol through her mid lav against her ribs on the oi- posito side to that it had entered) she had traveled nearly nine miles, nan iiMul.i live determined rushes, killed and disabled four dogs, and died like tlio heroine she was, in mid-charge. And Maccovoy, turning to me, asked: "Doctor, do you still hold to the opin ion that a lion is no belter than a big iIol'?" And I cjiuh! hud no answer, save words of praise for the noble creat ure that lay dead bcf.io us. Too much time had elapsed for us to track tho other lion successfully, the spoor hav inr been obliterated by tlio feet of other game. Hut two lions out of three wasn't such bad work for twenty-four lours, after all, and we returned to amp fully satislied willi our day's iport. AUjvriim Cm: l.nwlun Stitntlnril. VALUABLE RELICS. Tlirer Curloim Mi-tiientoior Itcvolilllounry I'rrM-rvvtl III li lilrrT n. One is a silver strainer, which Henja- niin Franklin had ina.e out of his first lollar that he had ever earned. An other Is a worn prayer I k, which also belonged to Franklin. In it is written tlio name of itcttv l'arkcr, a young girl to whom he gave it, with these words of advice: "(io to church constantly, whoever preaches. I lie act of ilcvolioll is your principal business there, and if properly attended to, will do inure towards mending the heart than sermons gener ally can do. Vet I do not mean that you should despise sermons, even if you lislike tln preacher, for the discourse is often much better than the man, as sweet and jrlear water comes through very dirty earth." The other memento is of a different character. It is a bullet, covered with a thick coating of rust. At the buttle of Itraudvwiue (General Lafayette was shot, and fell. (Jeneral, I am wounded," he said to Washington, us he was carried past the chief. "I am sorry for it," was the reply. "Sir, I am not sorry!" the young Frenchman answered, ipiickly. The bullet hud passed through the leg and could be felt under the skin ut the oilier side. No surgeon came to dress the wound. A woman named Hell McClosky cut out the bullet with her scissors and bandaged the leg so skilfully that when the surgeon ex amined it nothing more was needed. This woman was the wife of a poor soldier who followed her husband to every battle-field, and gave what help she could to tho wounded and dying. When Lafayette ret iirned to this country iu 1X:M, ho visited Delaware, and re ceived a splendid welcome, civil and military. Hut he did not forget the woman who had come to his help. Hell McClosky was brought to Wilmington and .presented to him. She had pre served the bullet anil it is cherished by her descendants as the memento of a brave mail and a good woman. Youth' foiiKimoN. Meteor Showers. Prof. Kiohard A. l'roctor maintain that most of the meteor streams with which tho earth comes in contact are derived from tho earth itself; that is, throw n off by volcanic action ut a time when the internal force of our planet were siiltleleutly active to give the Initial velocity, some twelve miles a second, requisite to carry them beyond tho earth's attraction. Comets, which ho regards as tho parent of the meteor streams, In- think may havo originated outside our solar system. Most of the comets whose orbits belong to our sys tem, he thinks originated in tho larger planets. Tlio sun is now, erhps, giving birth frequently to comet w Inch probably puss beyond the limits of its attraction. ,SciiMfiV JitiVim. New York i tho greatest hay mar ket of the country.

Fanners could be a little more inde pendent in the marketing of their pigs. City people will buy sausage, head cheese, hanm, shoulders, bacon and (ipare ribs of a fanner if ho has a repu tation worth any thing in his business, and if he linn not il is his own fault. If he has a habit of taking his produce b the market in a slovenly and miserable form, ho can not expect people to want his pigs when retailed by himself. When cut up and sold from a butcher's simp, no one knows where they come from and no one seems to care. Here is a chance for reform. A farmer who wears clean clothes and does not go v.imhI with tho tobacco iuice running down the corners of his mouth, and who blows his nose with a handkerchief can go into a city man's place of busi ness mid say: "My name is Curtis. I have a nice" lot of hogs which have been grown on my farm. They have been fattened on milk, corn ami wheat mil Mlitwa mid are healthy and will make the best of meat. They have been kept clean and have had pure air to breath. I want to kill them and re tail the parts. I can sell you sausage, also head-cheese made by my wife; and spare ribs for ten cents a pound; also the lard. I will deliver these fresh and in good order, and at the proper time I will sell you hams, shoulders and bacon at. I think, twelve cents a pound. The jowls are made into head-cheese. We will also havo some scrapple, which is an excellent food and very healthy, for ten cents a pound." Unless this city mini was a fool ho would see that his opportunity had come to buy healthy meat in the most desiraiue iorms, at considerably less than the grocers' or butchers' prices, and at the sumo time by a little side trade with a countryman . ' ii i.i win a customer, ami no woum say: "When vou come to town bring me a few pounds of sau sage, head cheese, scrappei ami ii Hi:iio-rih or two. and when tho time comes, two sides of bacon, a ham and it shoulder. This conversation is no romriiice. It has occurred and ought to.be repeated until it lias lixed a business relation be tween producer and consumer, which will bciicht both. I he farmer will get more and the eitv men pay less. To carry it out the farmer must have pigs, ami he must know how to do tilings, and if he has not hud tin-experience and docs not possess lln- gumption, then he should hire some one who is an expert iu butchering and in cutting and pre paring meats. Hv takinir the pains alluded to, and the trouble, any good farmer can mar ket, bis ni"-s ut about twice the amount the butchers are willing to pay there is no justice iu a butcher getting double the cost for the meat he sells. The liig- I'est follv I know of in this line, is the custom which lias grown up among the farmers of selling all their calves. lambs, sheep, pigs and beeves to n horde of country butchers w ho buy at their own prices and sell the same iiii:iN ri.'lit I ii W to tho farmers at double and treble the amount they paid for them. Little work and big pay is their motto. A neighbor asked me tho other day what I got for my lambs Merinos. I told him "i rom four to live dollars. I explained: " o ate them .-mil so saved liiiviii" meat which would have cost from twelve to sixteen cents icr pound." Tho your before the iiitehi-rs ntl'i-rcd two dollars ouch. This offer was declined, ami the lambs were killed and dressed, a dozen at a tune, hy an experienced butcher, and cut into ui:irti's mill Nnlil ut the vill.-ivo at cbrht i t -n--- iniil nine ri'iits n iiiiiniil. mid twice as much as tho butchers had offered was obtained for them. Anybody who has a family to support will buy a quarter of lamb, or a lot of fresh pig when it cart be had at a wholesale price. Itural .Vim- Yorker. LAVISH DISPLAY. 1'rlvnte Kilrnvngnnrfi t'onllli for the Downfall of Mnny K in I lien. The frequent exposure of defalca tions ami betrayals of trust generally give stoek-gambliug as the cause, biit there are few instances in which the defaulter has not lived extravagantly ut his home. Hie cflort to muke a lispluy of wealth iu private and public, life in this country is unprecedented. lis possession, no diflercuce how ob tained, is ut once made the occasion to indulge in habits of extravagance and display. It is not con lined to otliciaUs but is more especially noticeable in private life. A man accumulates wealth in some honorable employment after year of hard toil and rigid econ omy, and ho or his fumilv are at once sei.cd with the ambition to endeavor to eclipse their more fortunate neighbors. whoso wealth is not of such recent date. We spend money lavishly, foolishly and are unpardonably extravagant in this country. In KurojH-, Americans are famous for their fashionable reck lessness of expenditure. They spend it dollar where an Knglishman, French man or German, with more money, would sHnd ten ent. They value a thing, not according to it real worth, but according to the price paid for it. because this price is a flattering re minder of their ability to pay the bill. F.conoiny i characterized a meanness, and to bo careless of money i lauded a commendable generosity. The consequence i that we havo dis play for display's sake, nyd the pres sure of fashionable life and the demand of society drag into ruin and disgrace many a family who, under other cir runist.inccs. would Ik- honest. LaU.r and industry can not compete in a r. e of t'lis kind. Diamonds vel vets g-u, gorgeously-furnished private riM'h'iu c.s -an neither bo proem t-d nor maintained by the ordinary and legiti mate moans of money-making. Tho only remedy for this is more simplicity in our mode of life, dress and living, and this can only bo secured by the co-operation of those whose posi tion and wealth is assured and unques tioned. A rigid ignoring of this fash ionable demand for tho exhibition of wealth by those whose financial ability and real worth was admitted would have a most salutary and beneficial effect on society. Tlio complaint Is not altogether against tlio poor, or those dishonest, or who suddenly accumulate wealth, but our millionaires, with money in bonds and banks, have joined in the reckless style of living. A man does not seek to live within his income, but is ready to take tho chances of some fortunate accident bi supply the deficiency; then comes the pressure of debt, tho persistent de mand for money, and the opportunity presented to procure the money to re lieve the pressure is seized with avidity and with a moral nature already blunted and honesty tarnished, the road to ruin and crime is easily en tered. It is time to call jx halt. It is life less to longer attempt to cover up tho necessity for a change in our social life; extravagance has grown on us as a people, to that from the highest offi cial to tho humblest citizens tho race seems to bo for display. The place to remedy it is at the head and the timo to do it is now. It was said in Koine, in her days of prosperity, by one of her most eloquent orators, on the occasion of tin- dedication of a statue to a Koman whose life had been offensive to the humble citizens of that republic, "thai if there was a Roman youth who had courage enough to behead that statue. that he would bo cherished and honored in the memories of his countrymen." If some brave man in this country, whose position gives him the power, will behead this vile monster called Fashionable Society, ho will be a hero, with a prouder distinction than if ho had led an army to triumphant victory.

The charm of fencing for beginners is that when you take position before a good swordsman you need not be hope less of making a point. Aftera reason able amount of practice with tlio foils you are able occasionally to slip through his guard and enjoy the simple fauity of touching the supposed un touchable. This comes from the per fection of fair play reached after sev eral centuries of minute changes iu the positions, weapons ami accouterineiits of the masters of fence. No other ath letic sport equalize so closely the powers natural to a man and a woman, a gray-beard and a boy, a Hercules and a consumptive. Ladies iu the best ranks of life fence more and more as tlu'y discover its value for health mid good looks, instead of leaving it entirely to actresses, who have always used the exercise for learning how to plant and move their feet intelligently. All over Europe the universities foster sword or foil play of one kind or another, and in that nation apart which wo call the city of London, a club for fencing has existed these twenty years. The London Fencing Club, under the patronage of the Prince of Wales, and having on its list many Peers of the realm, is ns aristocratic iu its aim as the Fencers Club of New York, is democratic. It was founded in as a club of fencing and gymnastics with a membership of three hundred, and helped to its present quarters by a paternal government. It ha two French and three English teachers, and from its nearness to St. James' is of practical use to the officers of the (jiiccn's household troop. On this side of the Atlantie a few large cities have always hud professor of the art, but like unhappy Hiilett of New Y'ork in 1770, seldom bus one been nbje to muke it living from lessons in fencing alone. At New Orleans the chances have been better, owing to the large Creole and French population; there oftener than elsewhere have duel in thi century been decided by the sword. Ono must not forget, more over, that the Cicrman Turn Yercin of New Y'ork makes something of fencing, and that ut West Point and Annnivoli- it is a brunch of study employing a number of instructors, a study which, unfortunately, ollicers of the army and the navy promptly forget. Century. Refreshing Colors. There i no color so restive for the eyes as green. It is especially the best tone for a library, for here everything ought to be characteristic of study and meditation. The parlor may be bright and such a will promote pleasurable conversation, and thi i afforded often times by the little trifles, drawing, and articles of vert u scattered around. A bedroom should bo quiet and cheer ful in tone. No papt-r with a striking pattern should irritate the eye, either for the well person or an invalid, who i apt to worry hi brains in counting the pattern from ceiling to floor. A little exorcise of good taste, utility, and beauty will make tho home pleas ant and harmonious without lavish ex pense. Iktroit Tribune. Tho larva- of the borer live sev eral years in trees. Hence.
