The Argosy.
AN ALGERIAN LION STOKY.
How I camo to be sitting in very good
company, one gloriuus September even
ing, in the little moon-lighted garden of
the hotel at Algiers is neither here nor
there.
My companions about the round table,
which was garnished with slim bottles,
glasses, and piles of cigarettes, were all
Frenchmen three old Algerian col
onists, the fourth an ex-lieutenant of the
navy who had exchanged a life on the
ocean wave fpr that of a hunter in three
quarters of the globe.
Before dinner I had picked up in the
saloon Da Chaillu's gorilla-book, which
I had never seen before, and my Baying
something about this turned the con
versation in the garden upon wild beasts
and the hunting of them.
Some wonderful stcries were toll,
especially by the ex-sailor, though not a
bit more wonderful than many one hears
from old Indian sportsmen.
For the matter of that the most extra
ordinarv sporting story I ever heard was
told by-of all men in the world a hare
hunter, who- capped therewith a snake-and-elphant
narrative, quite unique of
its kind.
Presently, a short silence, caused by
tho uncorking and tasting of a now bot
le of hermitage, was broken by the
eldest of the party, who had not said
much before. He was a good looking
man of fifty, with beard grayer than his
heaii, and a merry twinkle in his eyes.
What he said I shall repeat for the Bake
of clearness in the first person, just as he
told the story himself.
"The aduenture of which I am going
to tell-ycu, gentlemen, happened to me a
good many years ago. It was" my first
serious interview with a lion. Like most
serious things it had a comic Bide, too.
"I was a young man then, and had
been some half dozen years in Constan
tiue farming in partnership with a
friianil an rtlil ilnnist. wlinsfl fifnuftint-
ince I bad made on board ship coming
out from Marseilles.
"Our bubiuess was corn and cattle
raising, and we did very well together,
until my partner died of a fever, and
ufter that I took a dislike to the place.
I thought I would 6hift my ground into
this province, Algiers, push toward the
frontier, and get a grant of government
land and make a farm of it. So, getting
a neighbor to give an eye to things in
my absence. I started on my prospect
ing expedition.
"I say I, but I should say we, for
there were three of us, sworn comrades
as ever were.
"First,, there was your humble ser
vant; secondly, there was my horse
'Marengo, a better never looked through
a bridle. He was bred between a Barb
- Hire and an English mate belonging to
the Colonel of Chasseurs, of whom I
bought him in town when his regiment
was going. He stood about fifteen hands
two, carried the Barb head, and the rest
of the body was all bone and muscle.
His temper was as good as his courage
was high; me, he would follow about
like a dog, but he had one failing, and
that was an insuperable objection to the
close proximity of anything, except one
. thing, that stood on fouT legs. We all
have our peculiarities, and this was his.
Bipeds were all very well, but multiply
the legs by two, and he let fly immedi
ately and never missed his aim.
"Such was 'Marengo.'
"Thirdly, there was 'Cognac.' the
Taithfulest, tho most honest, the oddest,
and the wickedest little dog the world
ever saw. He was more like a terrier
than anything else, with a short, yellow
coat, a fox's head, very long ears, and a
ery'short tail. The shrillness of his
bark pierced your ears like a knife, but
the awfulness of his howl he always
howled if left alone bafH?8 description.
Daring the fourteen years I had him, he
seldom left me day or night. On a
journey he would run beside mo, and
when tired get up and sit in ioy wallet.
The great pleasure of his life was to steal
behind people and secretly bite their
legs.
"By some mysterious affinity, he and
'Marengo were friends from the first.
They now sleep under the same tree.
"Well, we started, and after going
over a good deal of ground, I thought I
had decided on a location, and turned
my face homeward. My direction was
by Alma, to strike the great road that
runs under the Atlas into Constantine.
"It was about eight o'olock one morn
ing, when I had been some two hours in
the saddle, that I emerged from a nar
row yalley, or ravine, through which
the road run, on to a sandy plain, dotted
with bushes and scrub.
"I had just laid the reins on 'Marengo's
neck, when suddenly he gave a tremend
ous shy that pitched me clean off.
"The next minute, with a horrible
roo", a lion sprang right at his head.
"I made sure he was on the top of
him. and so he would have been, but. as
Marengo wheeled short round like
lightning on hh hind legs, the stream
ing reins caught the brute's forepaw,
and, as it were, tripped him, so that he
fell sideways on the road.
"The heavy jerk Dearly brought the
horse down, but the throat-lash broke,
the bridle was pulled over his ears, and,
recovering himself, he darted away
among a grove of trees that stood by the
wayside.
"So intent was the lion on the horse,
that he paid no attention to me, lying
defenseless before him.
"Crawling swiftly along the gronnd,
he pursued Marengo, whom I gave up
for lost for his chance against the lithe
brute among the trees seemed hope
less. "However, as luck would have it,
there was an open space about a dozen
yards across. In the center of this
Marengo took his stand, with his tail
toward the lion and his head turned
sharply back over his shoulders, watch
ing him.
"He stood quite still, except for the
slight shifting of nis hind feet and lift
ing of his quarters, which J knew meant
mischief.
"The lion probably thoufeht so, too,
for he kept dodging to try and take his
opponent by a flank movement. But the
old horse knew his game, rnd pivoting
on his forelegs still brought his stern
guns to bear on the enemy.
"Soon, with a roar the lion made his
spring, but Marengo lashed out both
heels together with such excellent judg
ment of time and distance, that, catch
ing him full in the chest, he knocked
him all of a heap to the ground, where
he lay motionless. Then with a neigh of
triumph and a flourish of his heels, away
he galloped through the grove, out on to
the plain and was safe.
"The lion lay so still that I thought
he was dead, or at any rate quite 'hors
du combat,' and was just running to
pick up the bridle and follow 'Marengo'
when he sat up on his haunohes. This
made me stop.
"As he sat there with his head loosely
wagging from side to side, and mouth
half open, he looked quite vacant and
idiotic.
"Suddenly his head stopped wagging,
he pricked his ears, and by the flash of
his eye and changed expression, I knew
he had seen me.
- "Only one thing was to be done, and
I did it. The outermost tree was large
and low-branched. To it I ran; and up
it I scrambled, and just perched in a
fork aboat fifteen feet from terra firma
as the lion arrived at the bottom.
"Looking up at me with two red-hot
coals for eyes, his long nervous tail
lashing his sides, every hair on his body
turned to wire, and his great claws pro
truded, he chattered at me as a cat chat
ters at a bird out of reach. His jaws
snapped like a steel trap, and his look
was perfeotly diabolical. When he was
tired of chattering, he stood and
growled.
"Catching sight of the bridle, he
walked to it, smelled it, patted it, and
then came back and lay down and glared
at me.
"My carbine confound it! was slung
at my saddle. My only weapon .besides
my hanger, was a pocket-pistol, double
barrelled, and what in those days we
called a breech-loader that is, the bar
rel unscrewed to load, and then screwed
on again.
"it would have been & handy weapon
against a man at close quarters, for it
threw a good ball; but for a lion! Be
sides, the beast was too far off.
"Then the thought flashed into my
mind, where was 'Cognac?'
"I supposed he had run away and
hidden somewhere. If the lion got eight
of him, it would, I knew, be soon over
with the poor little fellow.
"All at once there arose, close at hand,
an awful and familiar yell. It had a
strange, muffled tone, but there was no
mistaking 'Cognac's' voice.
"Again it came, resonant, long-drawn,
and sepulchral. It seemed to come from
inside the tree. Where the deuco waa
he?
"The liou appeared utterly astonished
and turned his ears bo far back to listen
that they were almost inside out, when
from some hole among the roots of the
treo there popped a small yellow head
with long ears.
"Down, down.'Cognacl I cried in my
agouy; 'co back, sir."
"A cry of wild delight, cut short by a
piteous whine, was his reply, as he spied
me, and then dashing fully a yard to
ward the lion, he barked difiantly.
"With a low growl acd ruffling mane,
the beast charged furiously at the little
dog.
"Back went 'Cognao' into his cave as
quick as a rabbit, and storaied' at him
from inside
"Thrusting his great paw right down
the Hole, the lion tried to claw him
out. Oh, how I trembled for 'Cognac'
"But he kept up such a ceaseless fire
of snapping and snarling that it was
either well round a corner, or that the
hole was deep enough to ensure his
safetv.
"Ail the same, to see the great coward
ly beast digging away at my poor little
dog like that, was more than I could
bear. Cocking my pistol, I shouted, and
as he looked up I fired at his bloot shot
eye. He shook his head .and I gave him
the other barrel.
"With a scream of rage he bounded
back.
" 'Cognac immediately shot forth his
head and insulted the beast with jeering
barks.
"But he was not to be drawn again,
and after a bit lay down further off and
pretended to be asleep. 'Cognac' barked
at him until he was tired, and then re
tired into his castle.
"Reloading, I found I had only three
bullets left, and concluded to reserve
them for a crisis.
"It was now past noon. To beguile
the time, I smoked a pipe or two, sang a
song, cut my name, 'Cognac's' and 'Mar
engo's on tho trees, leaving a space for
the lion's which I determined should be
'Wellington.' I wished he would go
away. Having some milk iu my bottle,
I took a drink, and should have liked to
give some to 'Cognac' The lion be
gan to pant, and his red, thorny tongue
banging a foot out of his mouth, lie
was a mangy and disreputable "looking
brute as ever I saw. By and by he got
up and snuffed the air all around him,
and then, without as much delight as
much as looking aa me, walked off and
went deliberately lown the road.
"Slipping to the ground, I caught up
'Cognac, who had crept out directly,
and, after looking carefully round for
the lion, was smothering me with
caresses, lue lion was turning toward
a bushy clump in a hollow about two
hundred yards off. That light green
foliage willows, water! Had the cun
ning brute sniffed it out.
"Anyhow, it waa a relief to stretch
one's legs after sitting six mortal hours
ou a branch. The lion disappear around
the bushes. I strained toy eves over the
plain, but could see nothing movintr.
Then I gave 'Cognac' a drink of milk and
a few bits of bread-cake, for which he
was very grateful. Of course, it was no
use beginning a race againBt a lion with
onlv 200 yards start in any number of
miles. Tho tree was better than that. '
"All the same he was a long time;
perhaps, he was really gone for good.
Bah! there came his ugly head around
the corner again, making straight for us.
"When he was pretty near I kissed
'Cognao' and threw a bitof cake into the
hole. Then I climbed again to my
perch. 'Cognac' retired growling into
his fortress, and the beast of a lion
mounted guard over us as before."
"He looked quite cool and comfort
able and had evidently had a good
drink.
"Another hour and he was still there.
"While I was wandering how long he
really meant to stay and if I was des
tined to spend all night on a bough like
a monkey, and on very short oommons,
he got up, and walking quietly to the
foot of the tree, without uttering a
sound, sprang up at me with all his
might.
"He waa quite a yard short, but I was
so startled that i nearly lost my balance.
"His coup having failed, he lay down
right under the branch I was on, couch
ing his head on his paws as if to hide
his mortification.
Suddenly the thought came into my
mind: Why not make a devil and
drop it on his back? I dismissed it as
ridiculous, but it came again. As we
have all, including our English friend
here, been boys, you know what I mean
not a fallen angel, but the gun-powder
devil.
"Good! Well, it seemed feasible I
would try it.
"I had plenty of powder in my little
flask, so pouring some into my hand I
moistened it well with spittle and knead
ed away until it came out a tiny Vesu
vius of black paste. Then I formed the
little crater, which filled with a few
grains of dry powder, and set it care
fully on the branch.
"My hands shook so with excitement
I could hardly hold the flint and steel;
but I struck and struck the tinder ig
nited now, Vesuvius!"
"Whiff, whiz! The lion looked up di
rectly, bat I dropped it plump on the
back or Ms neck, jj or an instant ne did
not seem to know what had happened
then with an angry growl up he jumped
and tore savagely at the big fiery ttea on
back, which sent a shower sparks into
his mouth and nosa.
''Again and again he tried, and then
raved wildly about, using horrible leon
ine language, and no wonder, for the
devil had worked well down among bis
err easy hair, and must have stung him
like a hundred hornets. His back hair
and mane burst into ' a flame, and he
shrieked with rage and terror.
"Then he went stark, staring mad
clapping his tail between his legs, laid
back his ears, and went out of tne grove
at twenty miles an hour, and disap
peared up the ravine.
"Almost as mad aa the lion with joy,
and feeling sure he was gone for good, I
tumbled down the tree and ran off along
the road as hard as I could, with 'Cog
nac' barking at my heels. By and by I
had to pull up, for the sun was still very
hot: but I walked as fast as 1 could
looking out all the time for 'Marengo
who would not, I knew, go very far from
his master. Presently I spied him in a
hollow. A whistle, and whinnying witli
delight, he trotted up and laid his head
on mv shoulder.
"In my hurry I had forgotten the
bridle, but with my belt and handker
chief I extemporized a halter, tied one
end around his nose, and catching up
'Cognac,' mounted, and galloped off, de
fying all the lions in Africa to catcu me.
"There were still two hours before
sunset to reach the next village, and by
V.
hard riding I did it. That we all three
of us enjoyed our suppers goes without
saying. And that gentlemen, is my
story."
We airreed it was wonderful. All the
Year Round.
Disappointed History or Aerial Naviga
tion.
Tho original idea of balloons belongs
to that droll and clever man, Cyrano de
Bergerae. who died nearly a century be
fore the elder of the Montgolfiera was
born. Cyrano was the Jules Verne o
the seventeenth century. He wrote i
number of fantastic books, which Beems
to have been consulted by Swift for his
"Gulliver. Voltaire for his "Micro
megas," and Fountenelle for his
"Mondes." The most popular of these
was "A Trip Through the Moon," in
which the hero is made to ascend from
the earth by means of bladders
filled with hot air. Etienne Mont-
golfier and his brother Joseph
improved upon this suggestion by sub
stituting one globe of silk for several
bladders. In other respects their bal
loon was an adaptation of Bergerac's
idea, for it had an aperture at its
base in which hot air rose from
a charcoal stove in the car. The
Montgolfiers were the sons of a paper
maker of Annonay, and it is amusing to
recollect that their father, who was en
nobled in reward for their invention,
had done his utmost to thwart it, even
threatening to disinherit the young men
if they persisted in what he called their
foolish experiments. Uut the experi
ments were not foolish, for the Moutgol
fiera thought they were on the track of
the greatest discovery ever made. When
they had effected a first successful ascent
at Annonay and a second in Paris, in pres
ence of Louia XVI and his court, the bal'
loon ou both these occasions being cap
tive, all the adventurous men of u
rope, became smitted with a love for
aeral navigation ; and it was assumed
that a way of steering balloons would
soon be found without much difficulty.
The experiments of the Marquis d'Ar-
Iandfl and those of Pilatre des Hosiers
quickly followed those of the Montgol
fiers, and in November, 1703, the last-
named aeronaut went up a free balloon
to a height of $3000. The same month
an ascent was made from Woolwich by
Count Zambeoarri; in 178-4 Sig. Lunardi
started in a lalloon from Moor
field, and in 1785 Mr. Blanchard and Dr.
Jefferies performed their famous jour
ney from Dover to Calais in two hours.
It is disappointing that there should
have been no progress in aerial naviga
tion Bince that date. Balloons are still
at the mercy of the winds. Only a few
days ago M. L'Hoste tried to cross the
channel and failed; and although aero
nauts plume themselves upon the servi
ces which they rendered to Paris during
the Beige, it must be remembered that
balloons had already been used for mil
itary operations at the battle of Flea rust
and that the air ships of 1870 showed
hardly any auvance in usefulness on
those of 1791. It may be that science
will some day hit upon the means of
steering these contrivanees,but there are
no signs of this yet, and one does not
feel sanguine on the subject, considering
the entire failure that has attended all
experiments in that direction up to the
present time. London Times.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Paris maintains evening schools of art
and of commercial education, and about
4000 pupils attend.
Superintendent Leach of the Provi
dence publio schools, says that the ques
tions submitted twenty years ago to the
highest class at the grammar school
could not be answered readily by the
pupils of the second class.
Great Britain is the only country in
Europe which has no forestry schools.
On the continent there are numerous ex
cellent and well ectablished schools of
that character, where everything that ap
pertains to trees is taught by accom
plished teachers.
One of the greatest tributes of the
efficiency of our public schools, says the
New York Sun, .is the attendance of chil
dren of well-td-do parents, who could
afford the expense of private schools if
they did not prefer the others. These
little ones should make good citizens,
for they are impressed early in life with
the democratic principles of equality.
A resolution has been adopted by the
municipal council of Pans, by which it
is agreed to grant $7000 for the purpose
of sending a certain number of the pupils
at each of the colleges on a foreign tour
during vacation time. A deputation of
teachers is also to be sent to study Swiss
methods of instruction, as these are
illustrated in the Zursch Exhibition.
The Chatauqua university, recently in
corporated, by the legislature of New
York, has probably the largest class ever
entered in any institution of learning
The class of 'SG, C. L. S. C, now begin
ning its second year of literary and sci
entitle study, numbers over 14,000 by its
official record. At the class organization
inst effected at Chataunua. a iSew Eng
land man, Rev. B. P. Snow, of Maine,
was chosen president, with W. L. Aus
tin, of Dunkirk, N. Y., as secretary. A
handsome proportion of this class, not
less than 1300 is found in the New Eng
land states.
The main purpose .of education is not
to promote success in life, but to raise
the standard of life itself; and this ob
ject can be attained only by those higher
studies which call forth the powers of
reason, moral feeling and artistic taste
Even in professional education, or aim
ought rather to be usefulness in life than
mere success, and we have great dis
trust of all. theories of education that
put success in the first place.
We believe that education should be of
a kind in sympathy with the present age,
and that it should by no means neglect
to fit its recipient for the struggle of
life; but we object to Professor Jevous
theory because it putswoldJy succees be
fore the pursuit of beauty and truth;
and we should be sorry to see such the
oriesfind acceptance with American edu
oators. Fence Posts.
An experimental writer on this sub
ject very rationally remarks: "To have
a fence, a fence that will last, we must
have good posts, for that is the part that
gives out first by rotting off at the sur
face of the soil. Then the fence has to
come down, new posts set, and the
boards replaced. Sixteen years ago I
experimented with fences, and find sea
soned oak posts, oiled and then tarred
with boiling coal tar, makes them last
the longest. I took green posts that
were sawel five inches square at one end
and two by five inches at the other, and
seven feet long. I tarred half as many as
would build my fence, and the other half
I put in the ground green with nothing
done to them. In five years after, the
tarred posts were nothing but a shell
under the ground, all the inside be
ing deoaved. Some of the other
posts were rotted off, and some
were about half rotten. Two years
after, I built another fence, with sea
soned oak posts, same size as the first,
giving them all a good coat of oil, and
in a few days after tarred them, as I did
before, with coal tar. heated in u can
made for the purpose, four feet deep and
large enough to hold four posts set on
end. I left them in the boiling tar for
about ten minutes, then took them out
and sanded them. And now, after four
teen years, not one in ten needs replac
ing. 1 shall never build a fence ior my
self requiring posts without first thor
oughly seasoning, then oiling, and then
tarring them. If they are tarred when
green, the tar does not penetrate tue
wood, and in a short time will all scale
off. When the wood is seasoned the oil
penetrates the wood, and thecoating of
eoal tar keeps out the n oisture, thereby
preserving the wood from decay."

A FABULOl'H DISCOVKKY,
Worth Million to the Human Fam
ily Celery a a Cure.
The habitual daily use of this vegetable is
much more beneficial to man than most people
Imagine. The writer, who Is familiar with Its
virtues, is acquainted with many men and
women who from various causes have become
so much affected by nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands they shook like
aspen leaves, but by a moderate use of celery
they became as strong in nerve as other
people. We have known others to bo cured of
palpitation of the heart.' To this we may add
that we received of Dr. Henley, of Portland,
Oregon, a bottle of "Celery, Ileef and Iron."
By close analysis we state the preparation
called Celery, Beef and Iron is wnat It is re
presented to be, absolutely pure, and every
one engaged in labor weakening to the nerves
should use "Celery, Beef and Iron." Wo find
also according to the formula received, each
bottle is composed of Liebig's extract of beef,
extract of celery, and pyrophosphate of iron
with condensed wine. These combined we
pronounce the best known remedy for any
disorder of the nerves or neuralgia. Tho
most delicate nerves, even of birds, we give
celery, how much better will it subserve the
wants of the human family ? Prf.B. II. Open
