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? &”ia SL filitoDemocrat. 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.
