Friday, the depot agent at Lula liberated
eight homing pigeons that had been sent to
him from Haiti more. The birds rose high
in the air, and, alter making a preliminary
circle or two, flew away in a northerly
direction. In about ten minutes they re
turned, having flown as far as Belton,
where they were joined by a strange
pigeon who led them astray. The stranger
alighted at Lulu, but the homers, like so
many arrows released from the bow strings,
continued their flight to the north.

by two enterprising English sparrows, who
have batched a brood of live small birds.
The nest is built where several iron rafters
cross, and is near to oue of the open win
dows. When this is ch sed they search all
over the dome for a place to egress, and
sometimes are compelled to And their way
to the bottom of the dome aud fly through
the open transom. The nest is built where
no one can molest it, and the five little birds
have been raised in perfect security.

LaGrauge Graphic,: A shocking discov
ery was made by several little negroes on
the bra ch just boyond theoabius on Dr. J.
F. Park's place on last Saturday. They
noticed dogs tearing some object with their
teeth, and when they arrived at the spot
found that it was the decomposed body of
a negro baby. The flesh had been eaten
from the bones by the dogs, and the indica
tions all pointed to the fact that the re
mains hail been placed there five or six
weeks ago. Marshal McOomacx took the
case in baud on Monday and worked up
enough evidence to authorize the arrest aud
jailing of a colored woman named Laura
McFarland, wiio is believed to be the mur
derer of her own offspring. While there is
but little doubt in his mind that she is
guilty, he fears that sufficient evidence can
not be secured to legally convict her of the
•rime.
Brunswick Times: On last Monday Joe
Smith and Jim Thomas, who were rafting
timber on Thornhill creek, eight miles from
town, killed a monster alligator, full 10
feet lo g, which must have weighed 350 or
400 jiounds. Smith and Thomas bad quite
a bard jo ito kill him. The creek goes dry
at low water and he was found aground
just above the raft of timber. They first
approached him with au ax, but be was so
savage and furious they oould not get near
Bnough to strike. They then got long poles
and belaiiored him, till, as tuey said, “he
got kind o’ sick,” when they went to work
with the ax, which, for a number of blows
made no more impression upon his head
than if struck with a cane. They secured
his skin, which, as it hung on a fence near
by, looked like a beef’s hide. This ’gator
was fully able to handle a full grown cow
or man, and could have knocked Sullivan
oiit easily on first round.
Abbeville Times: The junior editor was
absent last week, and failed to get in the
locals he bad gathered. Among them the
following is one. T.,e first Sabbath in tho
month, at the of Dr. Crimmon, a
crowd was seated engaged in a quiet con
versation, when suddenly from the back
yard came the sound of tramping
feet and shrieking voices of about
half a doaen children. Some thought
s mau dog was biting them, and others that
a young colt in the yard was after them,
but it was soon found out that the bees had
become enraged and were stinging them.
The dog with a block on had ventured too
near the gums and was covered with bees.
To get relief he ran among the children,
and all ran to the old people, and tbeu
there was an upstir and stinging, and
screaming and laughing. Several received
severe stings, but a physician being on haud
the proper remedy was administered aud
quiet was restored.
Abbeville Times: Two or three gentle
man some miles down the river road plottad
to have some fun one night last week. They
concealed themselves in fence corners along
the roadside, and thought they would sim
ply shoot off their guns and frighten a
negro boy whom they expected to pass that
way. Sure enough he came, and the first
man fired off the one barrel of his gun at
the stars, aud as he roae to:his feet stumped
his toe, and the other barrel went off very
un'expectedly, and took effect in the arm
and breast of the negro. By this time he
began to make good use of Sis feet. He hail
not gone far, however, before the second
man emptied lioth barrels of his gun into
the aerial regions, and caused the pedestrian
to run with greater earnestness tnan ever.
Then came the fuu and laughter of the
men. who did know what had happened,
until they had reached the house, where
thev found the negro thickly peppered
with bird shot. Then the i-cvne changed. A
young physician was immediately sent for,
a din a short time tne wounded mau was
relieved and at ease.

AN HOUR WITH A LION DOCTOR.
How Superintendent Conklin Cures
His Patients.
( Copyrighted .)
New York, July 20.—Dr. Conklin, super
idtendent of the Central Park menagerie
and corresponding member of half of the
veterinary societies in Europe, was sitting
in his office the other evening when the
night watchman came in.
“Jack’s not well, sir,” he said.
“What is the matter with the old fel
low?’’
"He’s off his food, sir,” explained the
watchman. I think i’ts the hot weather.
He didn’t touch his meat and he mopes
around his cage more deal than alive."
“All right; I’ll fix him up a dose of medi
cine. Di you want, to see how a sick lion
is doctored?” hsked the doctor, turning
to the writer, who had overheard the con
versation. “Jack is probably suffering
from a slight stomach trouble. Tho hot
weather ofteu affects our charges that
way.
Without further explanation tho doctor
opened a cabinet in one corner of his office
aud displayed a formidable array of bottles.
Above them oil a shelf were a set of surgi
cal instrument. Long-bladed knives for
the dissection of elephants ai.d other thick
skinned subjects; saws big enough to sever
thelegofa rhinoceros; forceps with long,
s rong haudles, for pulling lions’ teeth, and
numerous other strango implements of the
veterinary surgeon’s art, such as are re
quired iu a dispensary for the treatment of
almost any species of wild animals known
to the natural historian. Out of a lug bot
tle the doctor poured a quarter of a pound
of brown powder. This he mixed with a
similar quantity of light colored stuff and
the two compounds were placed in a moriar
and woll mixed with a half piut of trans
parent fluid.
“There,’’ said the superintendent as he
poured the mixture into a pint bottle.
“That’s enough anti-bilious medicine to
.straighten out tho livers of a whole hospital
of human patients.”
“Duos a lion require as much medicine as
that?” asked the reporter.
“It won’t do him any harm. Besides that
wo must make allowances for waste. You
see we can't administer medicine to a sick
lion as we do to sick men. Jack has killed
his man and it would boa rather cheerless
Job to go into his cage, ssv twice a day and
teed him a wine glass full of this medicine
with a tablespoon. We put it in his meat
and let him oat it.”
“But suppose he doesn’t eat it?”
“Then we must tempt him with live food.
Say a rabbit with the medicine rublied into
its fur. Of course when a lion won’t eat,
heroic measures must bo adopted. He must
be Lound securely with ropes after being
c luroformed, or otherwise put under con
trol, and the medicine must be forcibly ad
ministered. I don’t think Jack will need
such treatment, however. I’ll have l'om
soak his meat iu this mixture and he will
probably lick enough off iu the morning to
cure his sickness.
“Now,” continued the doctor, after the
night watchman had left the office to visit
his patient, “is the time of the
year when most of our carnivorous animals
suffer from stomach complaints. It rare y
happens though that an attack is really
serious.
THE MORNING MWS:! SUNDAY, JULY’ 21, 1889.
“What is your other sickly season!”
“Between November ar.d May. Daring
the cold months, particularly in the winter
and late in the spring, the monkeys and the
apus pass through their annual ordeals.
They arc afflicted with lung troubles.
Animals die of the same diseases that carry
'ff the human race. Crowley for instance,
had pheum nia and a disordered bver.
One rf his kidneys wss almost entirely des
troyed and he lived the last year or two of
his life with only one lung. Indeed Mr.
Crowley was a marvelous instance of
strength of constitution. He had maladies
enough to kill three men and yet up to the
time be caught his fatal illness he was the
liveliest member of our family. He caught
his death cold in c Id weather. It is the
same with mat monkeys. We have to
watch them very carefully the first cold
days of the season and their house must be
kept at a uniform temperature. The
same precaution is required in all of our
buildings. If we let the furnace fire go out
one single winter night we might lose by
death within a week SIO,OOO worth of ani
mals.’’
“Are sick monkeys easily treated?”
“Sometimes, but by no means always. I
have had some tolerably rough fights trying
to convbc e an obstinate monkey that a
dose of medicine is necessary to save his
life. When monkey is sick it is always
more or less difficult to give him his medi
cine. You see he a) wavs smells his food
before tie eats and w n’t take doctored
food when bis stomach is squeam
ish.”
“How do you give it to him then?”
“We bag him. We slip a large bag
over hint and then get him under control.
I have Lena bitten thougii, more than once,
in giving a dose with a spoon. Our
method of treating pathers, leop
ards mid tigers is tho same as we use with
lions.”
“Did you ever treat a hippopotamus?”
“We have lieen extremely fortunate
with uur specimens, and with the excep
tion of giving them an occasional dose of
a gallon or so of anti-cholera mixture I
have had no trouble with them. We
have similar good luck with our rhinos
,ceros.”
“How about your elephants?”
“Elephants, as a rule, are good patients.
They are sensible and seem to realize what
the doctor is trying to do to them. Still
you never can Cell when an elenhant will
take a notion to change his position. Then
it is bettor for the doctor to be a safe dis T
tiince from the big follow’s trunk. I remem
ber a few years ago treating one of our ele
phants called Tip, for a heavy col i
that promised to develop into pneu
monia. I don’t know how
he caught bis cold, but it was enough
to kill a regiment of men. You could have
heard him cough a quarter of a mile away,
and when be had a paroxysm of coughing
the building shook as though a tornado had
struck it. I concluded to devote one whole
night to the case and save Tip’s life if pos
sible.”
"This was the treatment. I had tho
elephant house heated to as high a point
as was safe for the other animals. Then
1 book four attendants aud started in.
First 1 gave Tip a gallon of raw whisky.
He like i it too, and gave a snort of delight
when he emptied the tub, tnat was almost
human. Then I had him covered with
blankets that had beeu soaked in boiiing
water. Every tea minutes these blankets
wore changed for fresh ones. It was a
regular Turkish bath, aud as the liquor
began to work, Tip became reconciled to
the treatment. Indeed, I don’t think
there was ever a merrier elephant in Cen
tral Bark. He lieljied to put the blankets
in place, aiul once playfully caught one
of toe attendants by the slack of his
trousers and tossed him half way across
the room merely ns a joke. When the
effects of the liquor wore off, more whis
ky was given to him, and by morning he
was out of danger. it wus hard work,
though.”
“Did you ever have any narrow escapes
in doctoring wild animals?”
“Twice. Several years ago I had a leg
broken while giving a camel a dose of medi
cine. You wouldn’t think a sick cam-1
could he a dangerous patient. Neither did
I, but I have changed my mind since. This
is the way it happened: VI was called one
right while I was sitting here just as I am
this evening, by Tom Donohue, who said
that our old bull camel had the colic. 1
went out in the paddock and found the
ugly brute groaning and rolling in agony.
1 hurried to the medicine cupboard and
tilled a bottle with the stronges' mixture I
had, then I went back to the paddock. By
that time the camol was on his feet. As
we came near him he fought. We finally
got a rope around his neck and drew him up
to the fence. Here wo met with au unex
pected obstacle. Tho old fellow stuck his
nose high up in the air and refused to take
the dose. When you remember that a
camel has a neck almost as long as a giraffe
you will readily understand how difficult it
would bo for a man of medium bight like
myself to reach up aud pour anything down
his tnroat.
At last a plan oecurel to me. I climed
up on the fence and found that I could
roach his head. Then I had the bottle
handed to me. Just as I poured the la A
drop down his throat, the ungrat ful brute
gave his head a jerk and turew me off the
fence to the ground. It broke my leg but
the beast g t well. Since then I have car
ried a step-ladder with me when I doctor
sick camels.” Benjamin Northrop.
