An Affectionate. Lion.
The superintendent of the animal de
partment out in Wood ward’s garden tells
a pathetic and pretty story about a lion
they had out there, says The San. Fran
cisco Chronicle. At first he was so dan
gerous that they did not care to venture
too close to him, but by persistent gen
tleness and kindness the superintendent
gradually made the beast so fond of him
that it liked to have him go into the
cage, and if he’d lie down beside it the
lion would raise its head, so as to give
him a soft place to lie. One day a drunken
sailor came into the gardens and Ixigan
teasing the lion. The superintendent
came up and told the sailor not to tease
the beast. The sailor replied with an
oath, and struck at him twice. The lion
became perfectly franctic with rage, and
roared, and bent the bars of his cage so
much that the sailor got frightened. If
the lion had got out of his cage there
would not have been enough left of the
sailor for a funeral. At length the lion
got some kind of a tumor and was in
great pain. One or two slight operations
had to be performed, and nobody could
get near the beast'except this one man.
The lion let him cut, and looked at him
gratefully all the time, licking liis hand
when it was over. The tumor grew so
bad that a big operation had to be per
formed and it was with fear and trem
bling that the superintendent undertook
it, for the lion was in terrible pain. The
doctors could not go near, but they drew
a diagram of the body of the lion, held
it up before him as lie went on, and
made the marks on it where he was to
cut. He followed their directions, and
all the while the lion lay as still as if he
were undisturbed. The last operation
did no good. The beast was in such fear
ful pain that they had to kill him. The
superintendent took his revolver and
after petting the animal fired one shot
through Ids head, putting the muzzle
close to it. The lion gave him a pathetic
look, in which there seemed to be a mix
turo of surprise and reproach, but no
anger. It took three shots to kill him,
and all the time the beast never took his
eves off the man who was killing him.
Tdio superintendent says he was never so
curiously and deeply affected in his life,
and he could not help crying; even now
lie feel3 the tears come when lie recalls
it, and lie cannot forget the lion’s pitiful
look as his head fell back for the last
time.
A County of New Mexico.
There is not a county in New Mexico
but has many natural advantages and
wonderful resources, but Dona Ana
county, in the south central portion of
the territory, probably takes the lead.
Dona Ana county is a vast tableland
4,000 feet above sea level, 150 miles from
east to west and 100 miles from north to
south. Great mountain ranges spring
up from the vast plain to a height of
from 2,000 to 0,000 feet above their level,
and from twenty to fifty miles in length,
but are seldom more than ten or twelve
miles in width. These mountains trend
nearly north and south, and are all rich
in mineral, some of them containing
mines that have been worked for many
years by the old Spaniards and Mexicans,
and are still producing. Large quanti
ties of gold, silver, copper and galena
and other minerals are found.
The plains between these mountain
ranges are treeless, but covered with
rich, nutritious grama grass, which is
equal to the best cultivated provender, it
i3 asserted, for rough feed. This vast
tract of tableland is traversed from north
to south by the Rio Grande del Norte,
which has washed out a valley five or
six miles in width. For ages the pro
longed freshets —the melting snows of
spring and the summer rains—have
brought with them the surplus decom
posed vegetable matter and rich in min
eral salts which impregnate the turbulent
waters as they wash the mountain sides,
the vast plains, and rush down the ar
royas. These sedimentary deposits are
in this way precipitated, and have cov
ered the entire valley to a great depth
with the richest of alluvial soils. The
waters of the Rio Grande, like those of
the Nile of Egypt, are exceedingly rich
in this sedimentary material held in
solution, and when spread over the lands
in the process of irrigation, renews the
soils and renders the uso of other fer
tilizers unnecessary.—Cor. Kansas City
Journal.
The Haunted Hole.
One night about fifty years ago a brutal
murder was committed at a lonely place
on the high road between Warwick and
Stratford-upon-Avon, writes a London
correspondent. Tlio next morning the
murdered man was found lying by the
roadside, his head much mangled, resting
in a small hole in the bank. The assas
sins, two in number, were shortly after
ward discovered, and they were hanged
at Warwick for their crime. From that
day to this the hole wherein the dead
man’s head reposed remains unchanged.
No matter liow” often it may be filled up,
whether by the wash of heavy rains or
by stones and leaves that boys may hap
pen to cast into it as they pass, it is soon
found to bo again empty. No one take3
care of it. No one knows whether or by
whom it is guarded. Fill it at nightfall
and you will lind it empty in the morn
ing. 'That is the local belief and affirma
tion. The place is haunted.
This spot is about two miles out cf
Gtratford, and not distant from the gates
cf Cliarlcote park. I looked at this hole
one bright day in June, and saw that it
was empty. Nature, it is thought by the
poets, abhors complicitlv with the con
cealment of crime, and brands with her
curse tlio places that are linked with the
shedding of blood. You will recall that
strong lino in Tom Hood’s poem of ‘’Eu
gene Aram”: “For a mighty wind had
swept the place, and still the corse was
bare.” —Cincinnati Enquirer.
Bo Hind to the Children.
Wallace says the mind of man is so
great that henceforth his “selection”
will replace the primaeval power of
“natural selection,” so that it is possible
the earth will bear only cultivated plants
and tame animals; and Frederica Bre
mer thinks man may possibly create “an
■ennobled race of animals” by the educa
tion of a kind and gentle treatment.
With what potency, then, comes this
truth to the education of children. Here,
indeed, is the richest reward of kind
ness. And how is it possible to look on
a child without being touched by tlio
pathos of its helplessness? How fearful
harshness is, or cold neglect, and how
dreadful are angry punishments to those
little beings who cling to us liko clusters
on a vinef It is by our good juices they
must be ripened, and if the vine be bad,
what hope for them? And, as before, I
have said that there is great vanity and
conceit in unkindness, so the kindness
of the love of parent or teacher will root
well in humility. For who can look on
a child without awe, or compare its needs
and his own attainments without a fear?

COINCIDENCES.
STRANGE OCCURRENCES THAT HAVE
DEFIED EXPLANATION.
A Discussion of Mnrdcr and tlie Ghastly
Sequel Dickens’ Predictions at the
Races —The “Three Legged Jins” —What
Happened to a Friend of the Poet Rogers.
A coincidence of the war, of a serious
nature, is that of the “three Jims.” A
group of four men were in the trenches
during an artillery engagement. They
were lying on the ground, chatting and
smoking, out of the direct reach of fire,
when a shell suddenly exploded over
their heads and so seriously injured three
of the men that it necessitated amputa
tion of the left leg in each instance. The
Christian name of each of these three
men was the same—-James. The fourth,
who was untouched, bore another name.
The three veteran pensioners have ever
since been known among their acquaint
ances as the “three legged Jims.”
t: uowning’s experience.
A curious story of coincidence is re
lated by Robert Drowning in an English
newspaper as having occurred to him
self and sister while visiting a remote
valley in Switzerland some years ago,
the circumstances of which are substan
tial! v as follows:
While strolling about one evening to
admire the calm and repose of t-he valley,
which lay spread out before them, their
talk unaccountably turned to the subject
of murder, and each began to speculate
as to what their first impulse would be
if they should be so unfortunate as to
find lilt* body of a murdered man in the
wood. Continuing in this strain, the
Brownings talked until they reached the
hotel, when the matter was dropped.
Sir. Crowning applied for the use of a
carriage the next morning, and was re
ferred to the landlord, who informed
them that it would be impossible for
them to have the two horses intended for
their carriage, as one of them was
wanted to bring in the body of a man
found early that morning, murdered, at
the head of the valley. Questioning him,
Mr. Browning learned that in all prob
ability the murder had been committed
very soon after the conversation of the
evening before.
On visiting the spot where the body
had been discovered it was found to be
the identical place where, on the previ
ous evening, they had stood speculating
as to what they should do in case of such
an event. To heighten the dramatic ef
fect of the coincidence, they were told
that no crime of violence, so far as
known, had ever before been committed
in that valley. The fact that the mind
of the poet should have turned to such a
subject just at that time partakes of the
nature of a presentiment, and the coinci
dence is certainly one of the most pecul
iar on record.
In Forster’s “Life of Dickens” a curi
ous story is told of what Dickens called
a “paralyzing coincidence,” experienced
on the Doncaster race course. On the
St. Leger day, in 1857, Dickens bought a
card of the races, and facetiously wrote
down three names for the winners of the
three chief races. He had never heard
or thought of any of the horses in his
life, but, as he wrote to Forster, “if you
can believe it, those three races were
won, one after another, by those three
horses.”
AFTER MANY YEARS.
The poet, Samuel Rogers, narrated a
coincidence which, although it may
have been a humorous invention, is quite
within the bounds of possibility, and at
the same time somewhat amusing. An
officer who was ordered to India went,
on the day before leaving England, to
his lawyer’s. The day being wet, lie
took a hackney coach, and when lie got
out, as lie was paying the driver,
dropped a shilling, lie looked in the
mud and slush for it in vain, and so did
the coachman. On his return home after
some years’ service he had occasion
again to go to his lawyer’s. When leav
ing lie recollected his lost shilling, and,
by some unaccountable impulse, began
to look for it, when, strange to say, lie
found, just at the very spot where lie
had paid the coachman —not the shilling,
but twelve pennyworth of coppers, done
up in brown paper.
Perhaps the most astonishing coinci
dence of any we might mention and at
the same time one perfectly authentic, is
related by that charming writer, “Tav
erner,” of The Boston Post. “I was walk
ing,’' says Taverner, “on my way down
town, with a neighbor who was going
the same way, when my companion, for
no apparent cause, suddenly changed the
subject on which we were chatting by an
inquiry concerning a common acquain
tance, who had disappeared out of our
lives several years before, and whom I
knew lie held in especial detestation.
* * * My friend had heard of him the
year before in San Francisco, and .later
as somewhere on the continent of Eufope.
‘And there is no man,’ he went on to
say. ‘that I should more heartily enjoy
knocking down if ho would only give me
the provocation.’ We had at that instant
reached Tremont street, where, suddenly
turning the corner, one of * the passing
crowd came squarely into collision with
my friend, slipped upon a spot of ice as
lie struggled to keep his balance and
fairly measured his length on the side
walk. I turned to pick up the hat of the
fallen man, when I felt myself grasped
by the arm by my friend, who whispered:
‘Great Scott, Taverner, don’t you see it’s
the very man, and I’ve dpnoit, after ail!'
Sure enough, it was the distant traveler,
who had turned up to be knocked down,
so to speak, by a coincidence. ” —St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Something About New South Wales.
Now a little about the colony of New
South Wales. This is the oldest and
richest of all the colonies and the parent
of them all. In 1824 Tasmania, then
mown as Van Diemen’s Land, was sep
arated from New South Wales and be
vame an independent colony. Four years
Afterward the colony of Western Austra
lia was founded, 1836 South Australia
was founded, 1840 New Zealand became
independent, 1851 Victoria was separated,
and the last founded was Queensland in
1859. The northern territory belongs to
South Australia, with Port Darwin as its
capital. New South Wales lies between
28 and 37 dogs, of south lat. and 141 and
153 meridian east long. It has 800 miles
of seaccast, with a number of good har
bors. Its general shape is trapezoid, con
taining 310,938 miles, four times as large
as Great Britain or Victoria, or twice as
large as California. As regards the dis
tance from the equator it can bo com
pared to Cape Colony, Chile and the
lower basin of the La Plata in the South
ern Hemisphere, and with Texas, Louisi
ana. Mississippi, the south of Spain, Italy
and Greece, which occupy similar posi
tions north of the line. —Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
