The keeper was excited. I Accordingly
Nat raised the bag. holding the aperture
downwards, - and out roiled' a huge snap

of the audienbe tuadz the archei ring.

when the keeper swore 'the lion should
pevcr disgrace himself by fighting wit l•
such a pitiable foe.
"Very well," said Nat, 'l i d v-ye choose
to gitioine the h hundred dollars."
"But it's unfair," cried ithe showman
The audience interposed and insisted
on the fight. There was no escape, and
thenhawimin reluctu.utiv released the Hutt
making hintself scour: on ithe top of the

The - majestic beast moved slowly
around thPr ring, snuffing' and lashing,
while every person held his breath •in

was not • long in t.liscovering: the turtle,
whichl lay on the' flour, a lafge and loan

nose in close proximity to; it, which the
turtlo>'not'lihrim , popped out his head and
rolled! his eyes, while . asort of wheeze
issued; from. his savage mouth. The lion
jumped back, turned and Made a spring
on the turtle, which was now fully
prepar'ed for his reception. As the lion
landed on him. the turtle fastened hi,
ierritne jaWs on his nostrils, rendering
him powerless to do harm ; yet mill
activity of limb he bounded around the
wick, groiAl!d, roared : and lashed himself,
but the snapper hung on seeming U.

"t:3r ego it, wh-I,inibamperl" Cried
‘Vheally from the buses.

was no less enraged than the lion, and

"1' take hint off yourself." shouted Nut
in reply.
At this critical moment, by dint of
losing n pnrrion of his nose, the lion had
. the luck to shake his "pitiable ' foe from

The Income Tax
The Philadelphia Bulletin wakes some
remarks un this subject which are de
7,ervitt_ of con.,ideration. It says :
• .
' We .eartitstly hope the Government
will, befbre long, find it possible to remit
this tax, wine!' is perhaps one of 'the
very worst forms of taxation ever devised
and excusable by not hind but absolute
necessity. We shall briefly , state out
reasons for this opinion :
1. It tends to lower the moral standard
of the veople by offering an immense
iemptation tuideception. These decep
tint 0 are c i nch z nature that in the vast
majority of cases they cannot. be discov
ered ; ilkrefore the inducement to pr-ac
rice them is: proportionately greater.
2. It ;falls most heavilY.Mi the lidnest
and litraight forward, and lightest on
those who zct unconsmentiously; the
penaltiesl fall exceptionally and do nut
alter this general. effect.
.3. It' is inquisitorial and to many
exceedingly
4. It imposes on many a long and
.roublestme labor.to make the necessary
estiinatei4 and calculations: _Many who
keep inirlerfeCt accounts cannot possibh:
do other Wise than guess, and, here the
honest and benorabio make up fur. the
deficiLncies of those who are other Wise.
It. requirl2s very expensive machinery fur
its colle+ton
Fur' these all sufficient reasonii we hope
that othe'r modes of taxa:ion will be found
to take t lk place of this, which, moreover,
is essewially disecrdant with the char,

Dog Fight in Frogtown
A CAPITAL I SKETCH.
There - is'an excellent moral to the fol
lowing story which told with great
skill. It shows - us how' whole village is
sometimes torn to pieces by a fightbetween
two puppies.
Thelmost remarkable fight on record
came off at Frogtowo, on the frontier of
Maine, some years ago. It engrossed the
