Cliarlea M. Curran, the animal

malaat tha wimer-quarters af the
Nickel-plate circus ami menagerie,
in tho rear of 233 Rebey street, yes
terday morning. With no weapen
•f defense, aave a small iron rod
which ha carried in hia hand, the iu
trepid trainer unboiled tha iron door
af the cage and jumped within. At
the tune of his entrance Prince, the
largast Africau lion in captivity,
sprang from the cage through the
open door and lauded in a crowd af
lavited guests, who were in atten
dance to witness the initiatory per
formance of subjecting tho wild beasts
to the control of a human matter.
Among the small audience were
ttons. Joseph, a modern Hercules;
Mrs. Harris, wife of W. H. Harris,
proprietor of the show, and Dr. Kal-'
ly. The doort of the modest little
frame building which serve at win
ter quarters were barred securely,

The wild heaat elcared Mrs. Har
ris in hi* jump for lib* rtf, and lan
ded hia fore paws on the lap of Dr.
Kelly. The terrified spectators made
a desperate attempt to escape from
the build tag. It was a noticealdc fret
that ana of the coolest and bravest In
the hour of peril was the fearless la
dy. While Ihe men were scrambling
through windows she calmly sur
veyed tha scetta. Her aye lighted on
au excellent mean. of escape, tha liole
in the loft. Wfth the agility of a
trapexc performer site sprang upon
tha cage of the hyena and drew her
self upward through the opening
Mohs. Joseph was tho only one of the
entire number who found ail avenaea
of escape cut off. Luckily for him he
is oudewed with extraordinary
strength, as be exhibits iu the circea
riogby performing with the eannon
ball*. Seizing a heavy iron bar that
ateod near by, he whirled it through
the air in thedirectiou of tlie crouch,
lug boast. The missile missed its
mark and crashed through the board
partitiou that separates tho wild from
the tame animals.
The moustcr lion appeared to ignore
3ti hi man prey, as ho permitted Dr.
Kelly to eecape without au efibrt to
raatrain him, and passed Mens. Jo
seph without appareut notice. A
ibeautiful and valuable trick pony,
that had atrayed into the apartment
designed for the wild beasts, attract
ted the lion’s first attention. Crawl

out exciting the latter’s suspicion or

A terrific rear was followed by the

Tbs lisavy irohbar which Mens.
Joseph used to atua the lion crashed
wHh mighty force on the tiiaggy head,
hut it proved ineffectual as far as
leoeeuing bis iren grip upou Ihepeny
was concerned. The traiuer grabbed
• pitchfork and buried it deep in the
montier'a eide, hut without the de
•ired effect. The two men then hur
riedly get out of the war, feariug
that be might turn upon them and
read them to pieece*.
Br thia time the whole neighbor

’‘Shoot him!" yelled the crowd.
•The Doctor's advice waa taken, a

THU LOST STEAMHB.
Mem Expert Opinions—Cspt. Weight
DeOutcS, Out the BreouC Mate
Mot So Fortunate.
(Mew Bedford Bpeclel to N- V. Herald, Jan, si. 1
Several well known navigators
were interviewed by veur cerreapeu
denj to-day. Capt. Henry C. Hatha
way said : ‘•ln justice to the Captain
of the City of Columbus I freely say
that I don’t sec how the blame can be
laid an him. I’ruliably he was atvakc
all of the day previous and on deck
until 3 o’clock or later on the warn
ing of the accident, nml, after pars
ing all of the shoals, he shaped his
course for the epeu sea. and left the
Steamer In charge of the officer of the
deck, who certainly, in the absejee of
the Captain, should be and' proVahly
was callable of taking charge of the
ship. It certainly is gratifying to
know that the quartermaster, whe
was at the wheel at the time of the
accident, is among the saved. I think
that, if asked, he will say that the
ship eagried a lee brim, for a ship
trimmed two or three feet by the
steru with sea heaving oa her wealh
or bow, aud especially with a strong
current setting to leeward, would,
certainly make a good deal at leeway.
This, in my opinion, should have,
been reportedMtheCaptain. I think J
seafariug men will generally agree!
with me and say that the blame Ist
not on the Captain alone, if at all.”
Joint M. Forbes, the owner of Nu-,
ahon Island, who is thoroughly ac
quainted with the locality and the
coudition of navigation through
Vineyard Boud, said lie did not
think that Captain Wright was to be
blamed for leaving the pitot houso
when he did. The vessel Id already
passed what is known as Lie Middle
Ground, and with any eatie man at
wheel tliero was no possible danger
to be apprehended. There was a
broad, clear passage, ami I should
foci as safe as I would walking up
State street. Tbewiudand the tide
would naturally take a vessel out of
her conrse, ami with a light cargo
would take her too near shore. It is
easy to see now how sufficient care
was not need when all the circum
stances are taken into considcratieu.
There was probably carelessness in
letting the Teasel get so near shore,
and this may have been the greater
for the reason that after leaving tho
Middle Ground there was a feeling
of nafrty. Clearly the vessel ought
not to have beau so near the shore as
frtflh ’tßil’rTltl fi tlfi •(.. Y_s*' tM'ML
it's Bridge, and there was cards,*-
ness somewhere —where, will be for
thoee who examine into the matter to
determine. As to the doubt which
hat been expressed in some quarters
as to the possibility of Capt. Wright
soeing the buoy on his port when he
came on deck, Mr. Forbes said there
was nothing inconsistent iu this with
the vessel's going on the reef so soon
after. Tlie difficulty has beeu that
those who have questioned Captain
Wright’s stateysfßs have assumed
that the vessel was to the uorlh of tlie
buoy-, while it is probable that she
had drifted tu llie eastward of it. and
was really headed fertile shore oppo
site tlie Devil's Bridge. The order to
hard port was the proper one, hut the
sea aud tide carried tlie vessel on te
th* Bridge ill spite of it. From the
statements that have been made Mr.
Forbes says he does not see how the
blame for the affair can lie attached
to Captain Wright. As to the con
duct of the officers of the steamer
Glaucus, Mr. Forbes docs not wish
to express an opinion, but thinks that
it It something which should be most
rigidly inquired into. The Glsuccs.
as she passed the wreck at 8 o'clock
in tlie morning, could hard y have
been more thau four or five miles
away, aud at to whether parties on
the wreck could be seen, that is some
thing concerning which any one can
form a judgment. If the Glaucus
played the part of the bad Samaritan,
it should be known.
“The Captain,” said an old whaler,
“told the truth when hu said that the
buoy was on its port bow. The
steamer was iusiJe tlie buoy when
she swung arouud and thus brought
the buoy on her port.” The same
Captain, while unwilling to blame
Capt. Wright, said : “Captain Wright
turned in at ten minutes past 1, and
said he would return to the deck in
about ten minutes, but he failed to
make his appearance again until
twenty minutes past 3 o'clock The
t fact is, Mr. Reporter, he went to
sleep.”
A Captain who had been a naviga
tor for 20 years said:' “She sagged
Its toward Meuemska Bight, se that
when tha Captain went on deck he
found the busy on the port bow. The
second mate; iu my opinion, was
asleep. If the steamer had cone back
10 feet she would have sunk so deep
that her masts could nut be out of the
water.”

Socially, New York it under a

whist from the tables of wealth and
fashion. Women are especially in

like old gamblers. Playing for mon

WASHINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1884.
A GOOD SUPPLY OF HOHB-MABB
XSAT.
AH the evidences go to show that
the farmers of Georgia begin the new
year with mere homa-mado meat in
their smoko-house titan they have had
at any time since the war, and it is to
ha hoped they will seize all tho advan*
tagea which that fact implies. The
probabilities are, however, that great
temptations will be placed iu their
way one shape aud another. In the
first place, if: the condition of our ;
Georgia smoke-house is an evidence
of the condition of smoke-houses in the
South, the fact will fetch tho price of
western meats down a notch or two -
in the second place, the farmers may
regard the fact aa an invitation from
providence to increase the area devo
ted to cotton, and they may allow tho
pigs to wander off into tho sheep pas
tures. Now while they are fairly com
fortable the farmers should take coun
sel of their common ;sense and make
arrangements for increasing thair
comfort and adding something as a
surplus. Cotton is the staple crop, of
oourte, but eotton should bo kep
usder control. It should uever bo al
lowed to manage a farm. When cot
ton goes into partnership with a com
mission merchant, the farmer suffers.
All cotton means big debts, heavy
merest, an J a condition of vassalage
well nigh intolerable to a conscientious
man.
The next best thing to a bank Bill
of mouev so far as tha farmers are
corcerned, is full smoke-house and
corn-cribs. If, at the same time, the
giubousc Is full, the frrmer ought to
l>c happy. But if the giuhouao is full
aud j lie smoke-house and corn-crib
arc empty the farmer belongs to the
commission merchant and to poverty.
We havo already demonstrated in
these columns that tho farmer, who is
really successful—who is out of kept
tad laylug by something for a rainy
day—is the farmer who makes a spec
ialty of raising his own provisions
cultivating cotton as an incidental te
a well-regulated aud prosperous busi
ness.
Weare very much interested in home
made meat. In the old times, during
such weather as we have recently ex
perienced, every planter in the State
killed and cured his own pork. If he
had to buy hogs he bought them ou
their feel out of drovea, and there was
no diseased meat on the market.
Very few planters, however, were an
der the ueoes.Hy bu.vi— h-’-a,
racy raised, tbyir own ™
motistrated at Tho annual State frit s
that an immense amount of bulk meat
could be get inside the hide of the
average Georgia pig.

In all parts of the State eould detect
the oder of broiling spare-rib In the
air. There waa a lime when they fat
tened on back-bone pie, and whan
thejr could go to bed and dream of the
great hunks of fatty-bread they had
couattmed. Those were the golden
days ot prosperity, and the State will
never be prosperous until the farmers
renew the system of making their
own provisions. The State may be
tilled up with factories of one sort
end anether, but all prosperity is fle-
titions that is not based on the sub
stantial prosperity of the farmers.
What wo want to see in Georgia ia
the eld fashioned smoked meat,spare
ribs aud back-boues cut from the crisp
esreastes of hogs fattened on Georgia
rern, and an abundance of home
made lard. Not only the farmers,
hut everybody in the State will be
better off when the season of plenty is
renewed. If It is truo that the farmers
have begun to raise their own meat
once mere, let everybody pray that
they may continue it. Home-made
hay, home-made meal, and home
■ad* com, will boat the world, for
they are the sureties that ibe cotton
crop* will be profitable ones.—Atlanta
