Looking On.
From the Bolton (England) Evening News.
A Bcries of luruwoll porrormnncca
worn being civeti prior to tho nionutr-
orio proceeiliiifr to'liury, and on cxtru
pcrlormnnco was announced and look
placo at 10:30 o'clock. Attached to
tlio show was a tnitti named Thomas
Mucearto, whoso profesHionul nppclln
lion was "Manaurli, tho Lion-tinner,"
and ho at thin oxtra perfurmanco en
tered tlio lions' don for tlio lust timo
Mttcenrto was a young man not moro
than thirty-fonr years old, hut lie had
teen aKHotiutcd with traveling exhibi
tions of this kind from n very curly
period. Ho lira previously lust an
arm whon performing with Messrs,
Hell & Myors's Circus at Liverpool.
IIo had previously been trained by
Messrs. Hatty as a lion-tumor, and
having joined them for n short time,
ho was onj;agcd by tho Into Mr. Man
dcrs to succeed Muocomo. He was a
vory bold and venturous man, and hod
been frequently cautioned respecting
his rablincaa. Tho unfortunalo man
commenced bis performances on Wed
nesday evening, when ho was hardly
in o proper condition to do so ; and
having exhibited tho porillu and the
serpents ho entered tho lions' don.
At this timo it is calculated ,r00 or 000
persons vroro present, und the five
lions in (ho tlen wcro put through
their performances with tho tisuul suc
cess and applanso. On all general oc
casions heated bars of iron and iron
tempers nro in roadincsn, but on this
fatal cvouing the matter bud boon ne
glected. TUE FIVE LIONS
wcro all powerful animals and tbe
unfortunate man on entering tho cago
noticed that a black mancd AfricunJ
lion, which bid only so recoiilly tts
Monday bitten bis bund appeared
very restive. IIo consequently fixed
his eyes on it, and this in somo degree
diverted bis attention Iromun Asiatic
lion known by tho namo of Tyrant,
against whom he bad bcoa cautioned
only that morning to keep carefully
to his instructions. It is necessary
hero to noto that when norforminrr
lions aro tamed thcro is a lino drawn,
or what in known as "tho ofilec," in
technical phraseology, by which the
beasts aro taught to regard that line
as a limit beyond which the ytorform
or must not pass, knowing, il ho docs
so, tbo conscrtuonccs to bo expected
aro most dangerous. Tho presump
tion is Unit tho lino was ovorstepped,
and Maccnrto, who was attired as a
Uomnn glndiator, was returning his
l.ilcluon to us slionllt, slipping, ho lull
on tho lloor ot tho den. Tyrant fast
ened on him, seizing bitn by tho
lm unclics, and tho African lion fasten
ed on to his armless shoulder. Mac
carlo immediately called upon tho
keepers for help, and meanwhilo to
nro. llo llion drew the short Koman
blado which formed n part of his cos
tume und commenced lighting despe
rately with tho lion Tyrant, thrusting
thu sword Into its faco, mouth, and
eyes. Tho crowd,
PANIC STRICKES,
crowded around and ofToctnally pro
ven led tho approach ot tho men who
wcro used to tho habits of tho ani
mals. Tho shouts of tho atidionce,
the desperate and mnnful strngglo of
the fated man, and tho sinoll of the
blood which was slronming from Mao
carto incited the other animals and
thotr savngo Instinct wns awakened.
A third lion an Abyssinian one
seized him by tho ribs, and then o
five-year old lion, and an especial fu
vorito of tho lion tamer, caught him
by the head, literully scalping him,
tho flesh banging down his neck. The
treacherous favorite bad no sooner nc-
coinpliohed this work thnn bo return
ed (juioily to his coi ner.
THE DEADLY STRUaOLI
progressed, and Mr. Bircliall who liitd
from tlio first been most active, nlacod
iron scrapers in the fire to beat thorn.
I'istolsand guns woro discharged, out
they, unfortunately, woro only loaded
with blank cartridge, and tbe blazing
or gunpowder failed to drivo tho mil
mala from their quarry, iicnnwhilo
the irons woro heated, nn iron shutlor
to sepnralo tho animals In the cago
when an opportunity tillered was In
readiness, and Mr. liireliall and an ns
sistanl succeeded in beating of the
animals, tho fifth, in tbo timo scented
and tasted tho blood which streamed
out of tho carriage, added his fangs to
those winch haa aii;pauy pinyou sucn
huvoo with tho hiininn form prostralo
boforo them. Tho sliding door was
pushed In ; throe of the animals, boing
driven away with hot Irons, wcro
separated, and then the lion that hud
soizfcd Maecarto by tho shoulder was
driven in a corner, Tho shutter was
partially opened to drivo him among
the others, when a tourtn iniurioteu
beast soiled liltn Just above tho boot
and dragged him in again among
theml Then
Tin rnionTruf, work
went on igain for a few sickening and
J horrifyng(momenli. Hot irons were
now availablo, and tho brutes boing
drivoo off, the poor and almost pulse
less piece of humanity was drawn out
from tho place it was fated bo nevor
moro should enter. IIo sustained suf
ficient sensibility to speak to his
warm hearted colleagues n few faint
words, praying thorn not to tako him
away to rcccivo medical oid, ns ho
know ho was a dead man. His anx
ious friends carried him tondorly to
tho infirmary, where, after a few
moments, bo breathed his last, after
mutterirg a few incoherent sontonces.
As tho shattered framo was borno past
Mrs. Mnndors ho faintly waved his
band and gavo her an expressive look
which convevod tho word that he
wasnastall bono of aid. Many of the I
shots fired entcrod tho bodies of tbo.''
animals, and tliev recolvou great In
lurics Ooloro they wcro driven on
thoir prey, mo lion lyrant is three
and a half year old, and had boon
brought up from a wholp by Mrs.
Manders. Tho animal having been a
favorite, it wns during the early purl
of its training ollowod to run about
that portion of tho caravan used us a
habitation, and it freely gambolled
with its mistress. Iho sire of this
animal was tho ono that nearly killed
Maceomo somo time ago. Iho only
arm tho deceased liud was streaked
with deep gushes from tho shoulder to
tho band; the scalp wns torn right
back, and from tho hips to tbo knees,
where ho was seized from behind, the
muscles aro completely torn out.
Thero nro pieces of flesh gono from
tho ribs, and the bones of tlio pelvis,
which nro tho strongest in iho human
frame, havo hud pieces billon clean
out. At the inquest on Thursday
Mrs. Maccarle said sho had not seen
her husband since 2 o'clock on Wed .
ncsd.iy. IIo wns not under tho in
flticnco of liquor when ho left her.
Ho was alnnys afraid of tlio lion
which lirist attacked him, and had ex
pressed n fear of it on Monday. His
alary, with pcrqmsues, was nbotit
4 per week. Tho Rev. Knoch Franks
snid he saw tho deceased go into tho
don. His opinion was tbut tbo de
ceased had taken sufficient drink to
mnko him foolhardy, but bo did not
think thnt any ono could call him
drunk. Tho Coronor snid thcro wus
not, in bis opinion, anything it. tho
cvidenco respecting tho drunkenness
of tho man that nflectcd tho case. It
appeared that when ho was down ho
defended himself in a manner that
showed lio realized his position. The
lorlornianco Doing an extra ono, the
icatcd irons woro not rendy, and be
did not think thero was uny blumo to
be attached to anybody. In the
courso x)f his employment Maccnrto
met his dentil, nna, nowover tnoy
might reprobnto tbo calling, they
must think also thnt it wns an insti
tution of the town, and which ns tho
Inw stood, could not bo stopped.
Until tbo people of Bolton become
more civilized ana uiscounionancou
theso lights, so long would managers
fill thoir places of amusemont by
spectacles. Tbe Jury returned a ver
dict of death by misndventuro, and
added : "Tho jury feel it to be their
boundon duty to express their entire
disapprobation of the reckless custom
of so callod lion-tamers performing in
dons where ferocious animals uro
cngod."
Hypocrisy Scientifically Considered.
Dr. Batcman an eminent Knglish
physician, has been devoting himself
to a scionlilic consideration ot the bud-
joct of bpyocrisy. Tho very common
practice saying ono thing and mean
ing the directly opposilo, has been
familiar to pooplo in all ages and gen
erntions of the world.
With some this habit is constant,
beenuso Iheyitro absoluto hypocrites
while othors indulge in it more or less
occasionally, because it is expedient at
tho time. It has boon a common tiling
nil nlong in tbo political history of the
world, to crodit diplomatists and po
liticians with moro than ordinary pro
ficiency In tho doubtful art, und tluiro
nro numerous recorded instances In
history, in which mon of learning and
talent liavo Instined the means, pro
vided the BliuS professed to be secured
woro deemed good.
Hut thcro is, nowever, a class ot in
dividual, wbnan brains and minds aro
unfortunately so constituted that It is
woll nigh impossible for them to ab
stnin from this mnl usage of language.
With thorn it seoms to bo wholly in
voluntary nnd it nitty bo im actual
Uisenso. l'hj-sieinnB hnvo given tho
namo of aphasia" to this peculiar
mortal condition. Tho word in tho
original Oroek moans speechlessness,
caused tiy lonr, ostnnishmont or per
plexity. It also is equivalent to want
of utterance, embarrassment in speak
ing or slowness ol'tiltoranco.aiid, con
sequently does not fully donolo tho
dinouso to which we havo rcfeired,
which is most frequently attoilled
with vnlubility, brnicn faccdness and
a general incoherency of words.
We rather infer that tho term i till)
cr refers to ono of tho symptom of
(he (lieeaso than to tbo disease Itself.
To say tlio least of it, it is a fearful
maladv. since it results from fimo
orguniu delect in tho brain. ins
phase of the enso has been thoroughly
and olnbniutoly discussed by I'r. lto
man. Tliore sro but few person, if
iudocd any, who hnvo not at somo
lime or other met with somo individ
ual who wns not afflicted with this
malady, which manifested itself either
in nbsonce of mind, misunderstanding,
r ' . . . . ,m.
ordinnry nnd common plnco sentences,
giving absurd answers to roasonsoio
questions, Or exhibiting a general con
fusion of thoughts on almost every
subject.
These ore symptoms of some essen
tial dulcet in the brain, which should
at onco receive the atlontion of a skill
ful and couiotent physician and bo
proporly treated. In old ago the do.
coy of the brain Is most frequently
noticed in a forgollulnoss of names,
parsons and more recent events, but
tins cannot proporly bo called aphasia,
unless it is the result of dbtoaso. But
when a dofoclivo recollection of. oonv
mon events mnnifests Itsolf In young,
or ovon middle-aged persons, it is a
vory strong indication of unsound"?;:

I P
Dr. Balomun in this connoution cites
a number of curious cases, illustrative
of tho disease, which go a considerable
dislanco in confirming many of tho
theories of tho phronologisls. lie
mentions ono oaso in which a man, in
conscquenco of a blow on tho bond lost
all knowledge that bo possessed of tho
Uroek language, in which bo was a
profielont scholar, thus showing that
ono may have knowlodgo ''knocked
out of his bond" as well as "knoekod"
into it, in accordance with the goldon
rule of tho old time schoolmasters.
But a more singular enso is that of
a rrench priest, who aftor an uttack
of paralysis, lost all power of using

Thcso and many similar case ore

Tax oh Publio Intelligenco.
On sovoral occasions we have taken
occasion to donounco tho tax upon
nubile intelligence which is carried out
In the tax upon printing materials by
means of which tho American pross is
enablod to enlighten (he publio ond
bnnub ignorance from the land. Our
cotompornry, tho Cincinnati Enquirer,
has a most cxcollunt article upon this
subject, so appropriate and pointed,
that wo cannot refrain from giving
copious extracts from it.
Wo hear a great deal said about the
influence of tbo newspaper prrss of
the oountry, and yol we are forced to
confoss that there is one question upon
which their interests being indisput
ably that of tbo people who aro op
posed to n tnx upon knowledge wo
should like now to seo it manifested.
ii o annuo to mo tax or twenty per
coin, upon paper nsoo in newspapers,
and to tbe still more onerous tax upon
typo. In tho past wo havo often had
occasion to allude to the paper impo
sit ion, and propose, now to show up
what is called tbo protection on typo.
This littlo tublo toils tho slory, giving
tho price of typo la Canada and in tho
United Stales..

Urevicr, j.er lb 4-to. Sic.
Piurgeois, per lb inc. RSc.
Long Primer, per lb.. Sue, 60c.
Small Pica, per lb Slo. bio.
Thus it will bo scon that tho Amor-
icon printors pay for their tody type
un average of sixty-three cents per
pound, while the Canadian printers
pay an averago of forty-four cents per
pound. That is to pay filly per cent,
more thnn we should".
Thcreare twenty-five hundred news
papers in the United Slates, which,
added to tho great book nnd jobbing
establishments, maken business or ovci
875,000,000 a year. They employ
over 30,000 skilled mechanic, nnd in
addition find business to employ ns
many moro men In other cnpaci.ios.
No less thnn 400,000 peoplo depend
almost entirely upon thoso grenl print
ing manufactories for support. " Their
products nro immensely distributed,
and there is not a man fiom Muino to
California who is not interested in
cheap books and cheap papers. The
smnta! production of typo is hut fifteen
hundred thousand pounds, giving em
ployment lo twelve hundred mechanics
This trifling interest is thus made
paramount to one fifty times larger
and moro important.
It is tbo fault of the press thnt this
is permitted. Should its influence be
unanimously arrayed for paper and
type free o! duty, Congres would not
dura to disregard tlio appeal. Tho
rovenuo dericved from thcso articles
are next to nothing, for they uro in
fuel prohibitory of their importation.
If tlio duly vrcio tnken ofT it would be
n saving to the puhlishers'nnd printers
of moro thnn a million dollars a year,
and this immense tax goes into tho
pockets of o few typo founders. We
call upon our brcthcrn of tho press,
without distinction of party, to agitato
this quostion to keep it constantly
before tbe peoplo to support no man
for Congress who will not pledgo him
self to voto to repeal theso impositions
upon both type nnd paper. Tho
American industry in the newspaper
and book manufactories demand it. rj
Tho smull ring of monopolists who nro
interested against them should feel
thoir power, and be taught thoir pro-
sumption in supposing they can shape
national legislation on this question.
Wo trust that this will not subject us
to another denunciation from the stu
pid old "organ" for insisting that tho
tax shnll be lifted from publio inlolli
gonco, which begets public virtue.

Within tho memory of tbe youngest
adult amongst us, ho wus a minister
of remarkable influenco and ilneropu

Later he was tho respected bead of an
institution of learning in this city, and,
we can recollect when charges of In.

Without knowing what was estab

tbnt ho lost his previous high position,
nnd at lust lell under grave suspicion,
Ho moved South, and left many bo

stir in Texas by his fervor ond elo
quence Shortly after bo brcamo a
Colonel in the Confederate nrmy, nnd

left the service on account of some

there was a great donl of mystery and

Carter had in Richmond; it was evi
dent that from somo cause he bad bo.
come a person of much importance-,
and was frequently in confidential
communication wiili tho Cabinet oifi
cors. During the war wo nover heard
of a surmise as to tbo nnlur of this
scheme, but n few weeks ago whilo
traveling luppenod lo bear all about tt
Carter had in some incomprehensi
ble manner discovered tho socret, so
jcalouely guarded by tho English
Government, of making tlio Arm
strong gun. Ho brought his drawing "
and evidences of their genuineness tq
Richmond, nnd convuicod Colonel
ttnrgna, ns was the fact, thnt ho had
learned tho principle. Ho wns after

the premises, sent to ..New Orleans,
formed a company, bought a fiumdry,'

lo grow in fmnorlnnco until now ho is,

wing of iho Republican party with
masterly ability, and being, says our
informant, the only man of bis faction
with at onco bruins ond noire enough
to pievent Wurmouth's carrying
Louisiana against Grant. But for his.
habits, ho might bo anything be
chose, bul he bus sunk to benstliness
in all manners of dissipation. By
corrupt connection with railroads and
othor schemes before the Legislature,,
ho has, in the last yoar, made enor
mous sums of money; but squanders
thousands nt tho gaming tatlo St

fied with drink, und spends bis time
ordinarily among tho lowo't, of tbo
