How I came to b iLtnr, ia rvy good company, cntorious Septem ber e? ening, in the littl moonlight ed garden of the hotel t Algiers ia nettber here nor thcte. J My compAciorai sboot the round table, whichwa garnished with slim bottlea, gLaosed S& pilei of ci garettes, were all Frerchnien-!-thre eld Algerian oolonistB,the fonrth, an exIieatenant of the naYyvwlio bad exchanged a life on the ocean wate for that of a hunter in thrae-qtiartera of the globe. ' - ' - ; - Before dinner I had picked tip in the talon Da Bhailla's gorriUa-book, which I had never seen before, and saying something about this turned the conversation in the tmrden upon wild beastd ' and the hunting of them. Some wonderful stories were told, especially by the ex-sailor, though not a bit more wondertai man many one hears from old Indian sports men. : - For the matter of that the most extraordinary sporting story I tver heard was told by of all men in the world a hare hunter, woo capped therewith a snake and elephant nar rative. auite uuioue of its kind. Presently a short silence, caused by the uncorking and tasting of a new bottle of Hermitage, was broken bv the eldest of the party, who had not said much before, tie was a good looking man of fifty, with a beard grayer than his head, and a merry twinkle in his eve. What he said I shall repeat, lor the sake of clearness, in the Bret person, just as he told the story himself: ' ; The adventure of which I am go- in e to tell you. eentlemen, happened to me a sood manv Years ago. It was my first serious interview with a lion' Like most serious things it had a comic side, too. "I was a young man, then, and had been some half dozen years in Conatantine. farmine in partnership with a friend, an old colonist, whose acquaintance I made on board ship coming out from Marseilles. "Uur business was corn and came raising, and we did very well togeth er until my partner died of fever, and after that I took a dislike to the place. I thought I would shift 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 ab sence. I started on my prospecting expedition. i "I say 1, but 1 should say we, lor there were three of us, sworn ' com rades as ever were. , . ' "First, there was your humble servant; secondly, there was my horse Marengo, and a ' better never looked through a bridle. He wis bred between Barb t?rt nd ttn English mare belomrine to the Col. of Chasseurs, of whom 1 bought him in town when his regiment was go ing home. He stood about fifteen bands two. carried the iJarb head. and the rest of his 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 four 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 immediately, and never missed bis aim. "Such was Marengo. ' I "Thirdly, there was Cognac, the faithfulest, the most honest, the odd est, and the wickedest little dog the j world ever saw. lie was more nae a terrier than anything else, with a : short, yellow coat, a fox's head, very long ears, and a very short taiL The shrillness of his bark pierced your ears like a knife, but the awfulnees of his howl he always howled if let alone baffles description. Dur ing the 14 years I bad him he seldom left me day or night,"" On a journey be would run beside me, and when tired get up and sit in my wallet The great pleasure of his life was to steal behind people and secretly bite them in their legs. "Bv some mysterious affinity he and Marengo were friends from the first They now sleep under the same tree. "Well, we started, and after going . , , m J T over a good aeai oi grouna 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 eastward into Constantine. "It was about eight o'clock one morning, when i naa oeen some iwo hours in the saddle, that I emerged from a narrow valley, or ravine, through which the road ran, on to a sandy plain dotted with bushes and scrubs. "I had iust laid the reins on Ma rengo's neck when suddenly be gave a tremendous shy that pitched me clear off. - "The next minute, with a horrible roar, a lion sprang ngm at niB A A head. . "I made sure he was on the top of him, and so be would have been. but as Marengo wheeled short round like lightning on his hind legs the streaming reins caught the brutes fore paw and. as it were, tripped him, so that he fell sideways on the mad. . r - The heavy jerk nearly brought the hone down, but the throat latch broke, the bridle wm palled over his ears, and, recovering nimseu, ne darted away among a grove of . trees that stood bv the wayside. - ufotmt-wa the- lion on the hone that be paid no attention to me lving defenseless before him. Crawling swiftly along the ground he pursued Marengo, whom I gave up for lost for his chance against a . a a . if a . the lithe orute among me uees seemed hopeless. - - f "However, as luck would have it, there was an open space about dosen yards across. In the centre of this Uarenro took his stand with his tail toward the Hon and his head turned sharply back over his shoul der, watching him. : ! -' ! Tie stood auite still, except for the slight shiAiag of. hts hind feet and Ef2g of his quarters, which kfiew taeant BischKf.

Then with a neigh triumph and a flourish of his beets sway he gallop ed through the giovwout on to the Dlain and was safe. r!: ' "The lionjlay so still that I thought he was dead, or at any rate quite bore de combat, and Was just running to pick up the bridle and follow Ma rengo, - when he sat up on his haunches. This made me stop. "As he sat there With his head loosely wagging ironi side to side, and mouth wide open, he looked quite vacant and idiotic. "Suddenly his head) stopped wag ging, he pricked hi! ears, and by the flash of bis eyes ana changed ex Dres8ion. I knew he had seen me. "Only one thing ws to be done, and I did it The outermost tree was large and low bftbehed. To it I rah and ur it I scrambled, and had iust perched in a - fork abode fifteen feet above terra tirmav as me lion ar rived at the bottom. "Looking up at mefwith two red hot coals for eyes, his long, nervous tail laahin? his sides. YeTT hair on his body tured to wire, and his great paws protruded, he shattered at me as a cat chatters aV bird out of reach.' His i&ws sfiaipoed . like steel trap, and his look was perfectly diabetica!. When he was tired of chattering he Btood as)d 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. 1 "My carbine confound it I was slung at my saddle. My only weap on, besides my hanger, was a pocket pistol, double barreled, and what in those day 8 we called a breech load er, that is the barrels tmscrewed to load, and then screwed on again. "It would have been a handy weapou against a man' at close quar ters, for it threw a good ball but for a lion besides, the beast was too far off. "Then the thought flashed into my mind, where was- Cognac? "I supposed he had run away and bidden somewhere. 1 If the lion got sight of him it would I knew, be soon all over with the poor little fel low." ' . '-; ' "All at once there.'aroee, close at hand, an awful and tioiliar yelL It had a strange, rautTtitl tone, but there was no mistiag Cognac's voice. '. ' ?! Again it f came; tawnant, ' long drawn, and sepulchral. ItseeSsed to come Hum maiue toe wee, rt ueic the deuce was he ? ' '" r ! The lion appeared utterly aston ished, and turned his ears bo far back to listen that they were almost inside out when from - some hole among the roots of the tree there popped a small ' yellow head with long ears. - ' ; ; ; ; ! 'Down, down, Uognac v i cried in my agony ; "go Dacx, sir r A cry of delight cut short by a piteous whine, was his reply as he spied me, and then, dashing fully a yard toward the lion, he barked de fiantly, "With a low growl and ruffling mane, the beast charged at the little Back went Cognac into bis cave as quick as a rabbit and stormed at him from inside. Thrusting his great paw right down the hole, the lion tried to claw him out Oh, how I trembled lor Cognac " But be kept up such a ceaseless fire of snapping and snarling that it was plain he was well around a corner or that the hole was deep enough for his safety. ?AU the same, to see the great cowardly beast digging away at my poor little dog like that was more than I could stand. Cocking my pis tol, I shouted, and as he looked up I fired at his blood shot eye. He shook his head and I gave him the other barrel. With a scream of rage he bound ed back. "Cognac immediately shot forth hi? head, and insulted bim with jerking harks. "But he was not to be drawn e w ax All - 1 again, and alter a on ne lay aown further off and pretended to go to sleep. Cognac barked at him till he was tired, and then retired into his castle.' ' . Reloading, I found that I had only three bullets left aad concluded to reserve them for a crisis. . "It wss now past noon. To be guile the time I smoked a pipe or two, sang a song, and cut my name, Cognac's and Marengo's on the tree, leaving a space for the lion s, which I determined should be Wellington. "I wished he would go away. "Ha vino- some milk in toy bottle I took a drink, and should liked to have given some to Cognac The lion began to pant, with bis red thorny tongue hanging a foot out of his mouth. He was as mangy and disreputable looking brute as j ever I saw.' - -i By and by be got upand snuffed the air all around him, and then, without as much as looking at me, walked 1 off and went deliberately down the road. - ' r c "Slipping to the ground I caught up Cognac, who bad erept out di rectly and,- after- looking carefully round for the lion,- was smothering me with caresses. The lion was turning toward a bushy slump in a hollow about two hundred yards off. That light green foliage willows, water Had the cunning brute sniff" ed it out? . , - ' Any how, it was a relief to stretch one's legs after sitting six mortal hours on a branch. The Hon disap peared around the bushes. I strain ed my eyes oyer the plain, but could see aothing moving. Then I gave Cognac a drink of milk and a few bits of bread, for which he was very gratefuL Of course, it was no use to begin a, race against a Eon with only two hupdredyardd' start hi any number of miles. The tree was bet ter than that !::'- "All the same, he was gone a long time, perhaps he was really gone for good. Bah ! there came his ugly head around the corner again, mak ing straight for us. ' "When he was pretty near I kiss ed uognac and threw a little more 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 com fortable and had evidently had t good drink. . "Another hour, and he was still there. ' "While I was wondering how long he really meant to Btay, and if I was destined to spend all night on a bough like a monkey, and on very short commons, begot up, and walk ing quietly to the foot of the tree, without uttering a sound, sprang up at me with all his might "He was quite a yard short but I was so startled that I nearly lost my balance. "ills coup having tailed, be lay down right under the branch I was on, couching his head on his paws as if to bide bis mortihcation. "Suddenly the thought came into my mind : Wbv not make a devil and place it on his back? I dismiss ed it asndiculou3, but it came again. As we have all, including our Eng lish friend here, been boys, you know what I mean not a fallen angel, but the gun powder devil. Uood I Well, it seemed feasible I would try it I had plenty of powder in mv flask, so pouring some into my hand, I moistened it well with spit tle and kneaded away until it came out a tiny Vesuvius of black paste. Then I formed the little crater, which I filled with a few grains of dry powder, and set it carefully on the branch.

For an in stant he did not know what had happened; then with an angry growl up he jumped and tore sav agely at the big fiery flea on the back of his neck, which sent a shower of sparks into his mouth and nose. Again and again be tried, and then raved wildly about, using the most horrible leonine language, and no wonder, for the devil had worked well down among his greasy 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. . i Then he went stark staring mad, clapped his tail between bis - legs, laid back bis ears, and rushed out of the irovw Sr twaasy miles an. hour, andaisaimeared up the ravine. "Almost as mad as the lion, with a .ft.. joy, and reeling sure mat ne was gone for good, 1 tumbled down the tree and Tan off along the road as hard as I could, with Cognac bark ing at my heels.

Some of the operations seem almost miraculous, ' and were regarded as impossible previous to experiment Jo region of the body is now considered beyond the scope of surgery. ; Its most marked tri umphs relate te the internal organs and cavities. - What has rendered the operations comparatively safe is the use of anti septics fluids that prevent putrefac tion in the wounds. Hitherto carbol ic acid has been the chief agent used. But this proved more 'or less dan geroussometimes fatally so in other directions. A much safer and equally effective substitute has been found in - what is called eucalyptol, which is obtained from tbe eucalyp tus tree.

"I guess your pa's losses in the silver mine has made him crazy, hain't they ?" said the grocery man to the bad boy, as he come in tbe store with his eye winkers singed off, and powder marks on his face, and began to play on the harmoni ca, as he sat down on the end of a stick of stove wood, and balanced himself. . "Oh, I guess not He has hedged. He got in with a deacon of another church, and sold some of his stock to him, and pa says if I will keep my mouth shut he will unload the whole of it if the churches hold out "But what was he skipping up stairs for the other night with his hat off, grabbing at bis coat tails as though they were on fire? I thought I never saw a pussy man run any faster. And what was the celebra tion down on your street about that tune I i thought tbe world was com ing to an end,' and the grocery man kept away from the boy, for fear he would explode. "O, that was only a Fenian scare. JNothm serious, xou see pa is a sort of half Englishman. He claims to be an American citizen, when he wants office, but when they talk about a draft he claims to be a sub ject of Great Britain, be says they can t touch him. ra is a smart man, and don t you forget it There don't any get ahead of pa, much. W ell, pa has said a good deal about the wicked Fenians, and that they ought to be pulled, and all that, and when I read the story in the papers about the explosion in the British Parliament pa was hot He said the Irish was running the whole world. He didn't dare say it at the table, our hired girl would have knocked him silly with a spoonful of mashed potatoes, cause she is an insh girl, and she can lick any Englishman in this town, I'a said there ought to have been somebody there to haye taken that bomb up and throwed it in the sewer before it exploded. He said if he ever should see a bomb he would grab it right up and throw it awav where it won Id n t hurt any body. Pa has me read the papers to him nights, cause his eyes have got splinters in 'em, and after I had read all there was in the paper I made up a lot more and pretended to read it about how it. was rumored that the Fenians here in Milwaukee were go ing to place dynamite bomos at every house where an Englishman lived, and at a given signal blow them all up. Pa looked pale around the gills, but he said he wasn't scar ed. Pa and ma were going to call on a deacon that night that has lots of money in the bank, to see if he didn't want to invest in a dead sure da vina silver mine, and me and mv ctiQra wmduflsffio" iivrttjem a serftt off. . We got my big black injy rub ber foot-ball, and painted. "Diny- might" in big white letters on it and tied a piece of tarred rope to it for a fuse, and got a big fire cracker, one of these old fourth of July horse scarers, and a basket full of broken glass.: We put the foot-ball in front of the step, and lit the tarred rope, and got under tbe step with the fire crackers and basket where they go down into the basement Pa and ma come out the front, door, and down the steps, and pa saw the foot- balL and burning fuse, and he said "Great God, Hanner, we are blowed up, and he started to run ; and ma she stopped to look at it Just as pa started to run I touched off the fire cracker, and my chum arranged it to pour out - the broken glass on the brick pavement iust as the firecrack er went off. Well everything went ' ut as we expected, except ma. She lad examined the foot-ball, and con cluded it was not dangerous, and was just giving it a kick as the fire cracker went off and the glass fell, and the firecracker was so near her that it scared her, and when pa look ed around ma was flying across the sidewalk, and pa heard tbe noise and he thought the house was blown to atoms. O, you d a died to see him go around tbe corner. You eould play crokay on his coat-tail, and his face was as pale as ma's when she goes to a party. But ma didn't scare much. : As quick as she stopped against the hitching post she knew it was us boys, and she came down there, and maybe she didn't maul me. I cried and tried to gain her sympathy by telling her the firecracker went off before it was due, and burned my eyebrows off, but she didn't let up untill I promis ed to go and find pa. I tell you, my mam ought to be engaged by the British government to hunt out the dynamite fiends. She would corral them in two minutes. If pa had as much sand as ma has got, it would be warm weather for me. Well, -me and my chum went and headed pa off or I guess be would be running yet ' We got him up by the lake shore, and be wanted to know if tbe house fell down. He said he would leave it to me if he ever said anything against the Fenians, and I told him be had always ' claimed that : the Fenians were tbe nicest men in : tbe world. and it seemed to relieve him very much. When he got home and found the bouse there be was tickled. and when ma called him an. old bald headed cowyard, and said it was on ly a joke of the boys with a foot-ball, he laughed right out, and said ' he knew it all the time, and he ran to see if ma would be scared. And then he wanted to hug me, but it wasn't my night to hug-and I went down to the theater. . Pa . dont amount to much when there is trouble. The time ma had, them oramps, you. remember, when you got your cucumbers first last seaoa, pa came near faiating away, a nd ma said ever since they had been mar ried when-anything ailed her, pa has had pains just the same as she has, only -he grunted more and thought be was going to die.

IL T. Alexander. (T WHOLE NO. 1663. The Boy Who Drialta. A mother residing in a small city at the north writes to know if the Sun can't say something that will induce her daughter to quit keeping company with a young man who gets drunk eyery time he takes the girl to a party. If a mother cannot say anything that will induce the daughter to give up an escort who insults her, a poor weak newspaper cannot do any good. - - Tbe girl has got the fever too bad, li sue win not oreax on an engage ment with such a young man. The girl should look about her, and make inquiries, and see if she can find a case in the experience of her friends where such a man ever made a decent husband. She will never find such a case. A young man may sow wild oats and get it up his nose, and be as full as a tick at times, and reform, and become square, useful citizen, and a good husband, but he will never get on a spree in the presence of tbe girl he loves. lbe mere fact of a young man taking a girl to a party or a sleigh ride, and getting drunk and humili ating her, and causing her to depend on others tor escort home is one evidence that he has no respect for her. and she should break off her engagement and cut him entirely. If she puts up with such insults now, before she is married, when she is his wife he will be liable to leave her to look out for herself, and be will get drunk from habit Twenty years ago there were hun dreds of young fellows in this State who thought it was smart to take re spectable girls to dances and get drunk, and let the girls ride home with somebody that kept sober. The girls would be vexed at the time, but as the boys were rich, and went in good society, the girls got to looking on the sprees as good jokes, and they would laugh about it We know some of those girls to-day who are earning a living for children by hard work, while the smart fellows who got drunk have filled drunkard's graves, or have left their wives and are wanderers on the face of the earth. If a young man laves a girl as he should to marry her, a look of disapprobation from her at any act of his, will be enough to break him of any habit that he has that she does not like. If the words "Please don't drink, Charley," from the lips of Charley's girl is not enough to spoil his appetite for ben zine, "Farewell, Charley, forever," should be the last remark she should ever make to him. Marrying men to reform them has never been a successful enterprise on tbe part'of women. Girls are worth too much unmarried to sacrifice their lives to beat sense into the head of any man onTJddV footstool. Too many girls take the chances of marrying a young man who has an uncontrollable apnetite for liquor thinking that the surroundincs of home will wean him. such a man does not wean as easily as a calf. He will go home -only to sober up, and then only when the other places are closed, rive years ot such a married life will make a middle-aged woman of the sweetest dispositioned girl that a mother wis ever proud of. A girl will marry such a man hoping that next year he will be better ; but next year he will be worse. The nose will begin to get red, the eves bleared, tbe clothes carelessly worn, and the wife who would have been such a happy wife and mother, with a husband that had sense, be comes ashamed to look at herself in the glass, and had almost rather have a fit of sickness than to be vis ited by any of her friends, for fear her husband may give them away. Whisky may be all right in its place. and we hope it is, but the place for it is not in the stomach of a young man who contemplates matrimony, and the girl who takes such a man for life, for fear the young men will be all gone, makes a fool of herself, and she will regret it as long as she lives. There are sure to be sober boys enough for all the girls, and there is no need of marrying a drunkard, and the girl who does so against the advice of her mother, will deserve all the unhappiness she marries.
