EXPECTOB&ff
This unrivaled preparation has p
formed some of the most astonUh
cures that are recorded in the anr.;; 1 i
history. Patients sufl’ering for years li
the various diseases of the Lungs, a
trying different remedies, spending tin.
sands of dollars in traveling and doot
ing, have, by the use of a few boo l
entirely recovered their health.
“WON’T GO TO FLORID ”
New York, August 30,18”''
DR. TUTT:
Dear Sir:—When in Aiken, laat winter, I used yo
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more ben .
from it than anything I ever took. lam bo well tl.
I will not go to Florida next winter as I intend
Send me one dozen bottles, by express for sor..
friends. ALFRED CUSHING,
123 West Thirty-first Strc
Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that I hnve recommended the use ot
Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of thelur -
for the past two years, and to my knowledge mar*
bottles have been used by my patients with the hap
piest reaults. In two cases where it was thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
effected a cure. R. H. SPRAGUE, M.D.
"We can not speak too highly of Dr. Tutt’s Ex

L Tim iiiout iiifttHiiae excittu out pie
vailed at tLe menagerie grounds about
4 t ‘c'offlr nst afternoon, by the escape
of the huge African lion, “Emperor,”
while being tratisfeired from one cage
to another
Several we- k» since the animals of
the menagerie wero placed in tempora
ry cages, while he bid ones where be
ing renovated for t})o coming season.
On yesterday the cag-* were all fin
inslied off and piepaied for the re
ception of the animals. A veiy large
ctowd of ladies and children were ad
mitted to see those feiocious beasts
fed, which on Mondays aie alway?
more so heca’ise tin y are neveT fed on
Suudays In the afternoon, every
thing being ready, the t ansfer began,
and a i umber had changed quarters,
when tfu’ cage fur ’.he lion was hack
ed up to the temporary quarters tot
his turn. The men m charge of the
transfer were unusually watchful iu
their business, especially when they
c m« to (lie lion, because of his well
known vicious habits and uncontroll
able spirit. Alter the door of the
wagon cage had been . peued the door
!o the temporary affair was iaised, and
the liou veiy quietly walked into his
new quaj te:s, aud the do. r e.oteu aud,
as supposed, secuiely looked. But
this piovid no; to be the case, for as
the men at the longue drew the wag
on off the dm r <jl the cage was noticed
t" gen*ly open. Mr. L. M Hedge?
was 'lie first to discover this alarming
s ; ute of things, and instantly sprung
forward to close it, hut he was too
1 to. Buluru he could reach it with
ms hands, the lion’s Lead appeared in
the open dour ui and out he spraug.—
The consternation may he imag tied
am. ng those woo witnessed to.B Cool
aci cl “the monaich o. the f rest ”
Just where he landed was a raised
piece in the cuitaiu, and he deiihei
ately x. alked out into tLe open air.—
Mr. ileu.y B mum had just taken
his seat neat the gate, and saw the
heasi aa he emeiged from under the
shelter. Ilis first thought was to run
and set urely fasten it, as » lage crowd
ot ?riuill boys were on ihe outside, and
he thought of the havoc that would he
made should the l.ou got into the
open street. Bui the biute veiy qui
etly took a survey ts the sunound
it.g- a..d leisurely took the opposite
direction. Dr. Diiscos, who superin
tends the distribution of the meat for
h animals, was coming in the direc
tum of where the transfer was going
smoking his pipe and ndepp thought.
Luckily be looked up, and just in
lront of him the form of the terrible
lion was seen not more than ten feet
fiuui hiui, coming to meet him and
looking him square in the face. The
thought, perhaps, of the ma y sinewy
and tough beef shanks whi. h he had
dislied off to “Emperor” flush through
his mind, and that the monarch was
coming to got Ins revenge Acting
upnn thi* thought the doctor made a
sudden halt, and belore a flash of
lightning could have struck him he
was on the hack grade, end miming
into one of the opet space*, ron
cluded lie would he cot norod in there,
and fcaiing to face i.is foe again ' e
gpiang over a partition at ieast twelve
loet hign aud escaped on the other
side and called lor the t oys to rsl y
and annihilate the foe.
Th. lion turn and int ; . the open space
which the doctor hid just vacated, at
the further end < f which is cooped up
the camel. The lion walked down to
where the camel was lying, and tak
ing a squint at him, turned to his
light into a dark placj where a stiing
of wild cat cages were arranged.—
But hefoie hecoUll select the dantiest
cat, on his immediate right bo discov
ered a meek and dcmure-lookit g Tar
tary yak, quietly dreaming of bis hap
py calf-yak and .ys thousands of miles
aw ay in Tartary. No sooner had j
“Emperior” laid eyes on this yak than j
he hounded over the enclosuie, ab< ut ,
eight feet high, anti alighted upon the
hack of *ne neck of the yak, burying
bis huge fungs deep into the flesh,
crushing it to death.
While this was transpiring of
course the commotion among the fifty
mea on the ground was very great.—
Th.tiie /vere no visitors present.—
While the lion lay with its fangs
deeply buried into the poor dead yak,
his eyes glaring, his tail defiantly
whippiug the air, and uttering the
most terrible growl, a Mr. B..ker, one
of the circus employees, rushed in
w ith a pitchfork and mounting the top
of toe enclosure, was preparing to
: iackln the lion alone and unaided.—
Justas he had leashed th> t. pot' the en
closure aud had one of h>s legs thrown
over the inside, the lion saw it and
instantly made a spring and seizing it,
buried his front teeth into the calf.—
At this juncture, several men had fol
lowed Mi. Baker iu, and seeing his
perilous condition seized him t.y the
arms, head and shoulders, und by
main force drew him from the lion’s
jaws. It is f'ltuoate that only"the
trout teetli were imbedded, for Mr.
Raker would certainly have met with
a horrible death. As it is he has
only a paintul flesh wound.
Alter .Mr Bakbr’s release the lion
went hack to a corner of the pen and
sat down. How to get at him now
was the question It was ceitain
death to enter the pen, and there was
not a gun or pistol in the crowd.—
CT ickly taku g in the situation, Mr.
W. M S inpson, who has been wi ll
Mr. Barnurn twenty yeurs iu the
show business, und is noted for his
cool (Gin age and good judgement iu
these emergencies, procured a rope,
aLd forming a “runningnoose,’’climb
ed to the top of the partition, and,
while the lion was in his sitting pos
ture, head up and apparently contem
plauting the damage he had just done,
Mr. Souipson lowered the rope and
most dexterously got it around the
lior.’s nock. Then tlmtwing the other
end over a beam, began to tighten the
noose around the brute’s nock.--
While Mr. Simpson was going
through these exeicises upon tho tight
.ope the men outside had hacked the
cage against the outside portion ot
the pen, and taking off the bind
w ebls, lowed th door of the cage to
the ground Workmen were already
busy in cutting a hole in the wal l , and
Mr. S'mpson was quietly but firmly
choking the breath out of “Emperor.”
II had in the meantime secured
another rop- 5 around His Msjesty’s
neck, which was thrown to the men
he’ow. When all was leady, the men
helow tightened their rope, and about
tw' nty of ’hem beg n to “haul in,”
while ihe li n lay breathless within.
Ho made but feeble resistance, and in
a fvw moments was safely caged,
more dead than alive.
Thi- ar.iu. 1 is ore of the largest of
its kind in the United States, as well
a* the most intiactable Ycstcrlay
whs the first time human hands have
ever touched him since his capture,
and it must he confessed that it
was then with a degree of roluctrnce
which amounted almost fa awe. He
has never been docile, and nothing
hut the severest treatment is accorded
him. He is supposed to he about
sixty years of age, and has passed
through many hanls, and after much
effort and at great expanse on Mr
Barnurn, the veteran showman, he is
to-day the possessor of the finest living
specimen of his kind, and Mr. Bar
num was exceedingly fortunate in r;-
capturing him. The yak way valued
at and is one of only four in
the United Sia es. A number of the
ladies of the city have heretofore pro
cured leeks of its hair or wool, it be
ing very fine and silky.
It has been Mr. Barnum’s greatest (
anxiety f r the throe months of the
menagerie’s stay in thisc'uy to prevent j
any accident to person or property.—
Os the thousanda of persons who have
been freely admitted to the show
(nurnbe'a every day), not one single
acci lent has occurred, and the hurt to
Mr. llakbr yesterday was of his owa
men.
Mic Didn't htiiuU I p,
At one of the Detroit churches where
a revival is in progie s, the clergy
man asked those who wanted to be
prayed for to stand up Quite a num
i her rose to their feet, and after seivio
-1 es were c osed one lady was heard ask
i ing another at the door:
“Why didn’t yon sta"d up:’’
“Oh, I didn’t want to,” was the re
piy.
“ A’hv, y u ar« a very foolish wo
man. 1 wouldn’t missed the oppor
tunity for anything.”
“Opportunity lor what?”
“Why, for standing up there and
showing your seal skin sack! There
wasn’t ano her in the whole church!”
A Yankee Roy.
A tomist tells the following story:
We recently metour triend, Dr. fxmi,
formerly of Boston. Ho has been e
resident of this section for about six
years. He was extensively engaged
iu buying wool, and on one occasion,
becoming bewildeied in the multipli
cetion of the roads over the broad
prairies, he r.olt up to a small cabin
enclosed in a clump of locust trees and
addressed awhile-headed hoy perched
on the top of a hen-ci.op, wi h:
“Hello, hoy I”
“I leckou you’ie a stranger,” wu
the reeponso.
“Look here, sonny.”
“1 ain’t y ur 6ouny.”
“No, not my sunny, hut if you will
jump down and come here, 1 will give
you a dime.”
.The bey -sprang as it alighting from
a wa.vp's nest and coming tothostran
g* r, exclaimed;
“ v\ ell, old hess, what is it‘r”
“Iv’e 1 st my way and don’t know
wneie I am. Can you tail me?”
“Yes, ”n your horse.”
Mr. Lord laughed at the hoy’s wit
and handed him a dime. The boy
t ok the money, and looking up with
mingled feelings old RgSi*, said;
“Reckon you must have a power ol
money.”
“ vN hy so, my hoy ?”
“Cause you slather itawayso.”
“What’s your fathei’s tonne?” in
quired Mr. Lord.
“Bill Jenks,” was "he reply.
“Ablyet, I know him,” exclaimed
Mr. Lord. “He grows woo l , doesn’t
he?” ■
“No, hut his bheep loes.”
“If you knew me, my lad,you would
be u ore respeciful in you replies I
am a friend of your father's; my name
is Lord?”
“Oh, yes,” exclaimed the astonished
lad; “I heard pap read about you in
the Bible.”
And starting off for the house on a
dead run, ha haw 1 and out at the top of
hisiungs:
“Mother, mothor, the Lord is out
here oil horseback, and has lost his
way!”

year, I leached the following toucul
sions: All ways rool seed, as it makes
the cotton come up qt.i kly ind giow
off rapidly, and of course open soon.
I tried two rows last ye; r, one with
the seed Tooled acd tho other not—
the former had foui times as mai y
bolls and opened in September, while
the oth r did not open until October.
I also tried two row*, one with 150
lbs gu;.no to the acre, and the othe
250 lbs. compost, (stable manure, cot
ton seed and acid phosphate,) which
proved to ho of equal value, hut the
latter costs only one-third of the form
er. I mixed two quarts of guar.o
with one bushel of seed, and added
water while mixing. As soon as jot:
open drop and cover 6eed as quickly
a* possible, to prevent the furrows
from becoming diy, whi h sometimes
causes one to lose a stand, as they are
so long in coming up, that the ground
may hake on iop, and the seeds he
unable to come through. E. D. B.

Tlie Farmers Children.
How shell farmers manage to keep
their children iteur them? How can
we discourage influx ol unnece sary—
nay, burdensome—population into Ihe
cities. We answer: By making ag
ricultural society aitract.vo. Fill the
f. rmhouse with books ard periodicals.
Establish cent.-al leading rooms, or
ntighhorho -| clubs. Encourage the
social meetings of the young. Have
concerts, lectures, impmvemoot associ
ations. Establish a blight, active so
cial life, that shall give some signifi
cance to labor. Above all bu:ld as
far as possible in vil'ages. It is bet
ter to go a milo to onb day’s labor,
than to place one’s self a mile away
I from a neighbor. The isolation ot
American farm life is the great curse
ol thnt life, and it falls upon .lie wo
men with a hardship that the men
cannot appreciate, and drives the edu
■ catpd youug away. Scribner’s Month-
