PRINCE ESTERHAZY’S BIO STORIES.
St. Loom, June 11.—Gen. John A. No
ble and Col. D. R. Dyer, two prominent
membors of the Oraud Army llepnblio of
this city, received a long le ter to-day from
Geo. Sherman in which be dis nsees at
some length tho reeent muddle regarding
the invitation to President Cleveland to Si.
Lonia during the grand army encampment
next fall. The material points of the
letter are as follows: The rnmor of
yunr troubles in St. Lonis baa reached tue
by telegraph, and haB lost nothing by the
distance. I believe we here la Near York
now understand the facts that the Grand
Army nf lha Rennblia bolds its next anna
al enoampmi-nt at 8s. Loois on the last
Wednesday of September, 1887; that the
great da, of the Valley of the Mis-
eigsippi begins Monday, October
3d; that the b-.st oitizina
of St. Lmi have invited many prominent
men.to be tbe guests of their city. Of the
occidental coincidence of these two import
ant events, among the President of our
common oonntry, Grover Cleveland, his
family and suite, the Grand Army of
lhe Republic is composed exclusively
of m*u who ternd in the army and navy of
tbs Uoion, to whiob Cleveland does not be
long, and therefore be cannot participate in
any nf its proceedings; bnt the moment tbe
Grand Army of the B»pnb io emerges from
its bull of deliberations R becomes like
Free Masons, Odd Fellows and other
societies of good men associated
for noble purpose, a part of the geueral
community, subject to thb laws sod nsages
of that oomomtiity. Mr. Cleveland, Presi
dent of the United States, by a fair elec
tion of all our people, oomusnder-in-ohief
of tbe army ana navy of tho United States,
is free to come and go wherever
the jurisdiction of this, oar nation,
tbo govern oient extends. He mav visit any
fort or sblp where the national fl ig will bo
lowered to maoifeat respect to him and bis
office, and ahon'd foreign chip* tail to do
him lull honors, none will bo so quick to
resent an insult us the numbers of the
Grand Army • f tho Repnblie, who periled
lifo and 'limb to make that 11 ig
respected at Lome and abroad. The idea of
bis being iosnlted much less endangered,
should bo on the stand alongside cf onr
commander-in-chief. General Fairchild,
when the Grand Army is passing tn toviow.
seems to me os monstrous, and I think I
know Iowa boys too well to believe such
a thing possible. Brave men are
never ungenerous, and Iowa soldiers were
bravo men. I kuow it of knowledge BO

qnired in battle, and I will pledge my life
that no Iowa soldier will do so until inly an
act, and should Cleveland accept the invi-
UtibD, hioh I hope he will, to attend tbe
parade of tbe Grand Army of tho Republic
at St Lonis on the 28:h of September next,
will stand by bis tide, or match past in tbe
ranks of Reason Post, ss may bo ordered

STARTLING PHENOMENON.
The Fish In a South Carotins Lake Dying
by Thousands.
Columbia, June 3 —lu tho southern part
of Georgetown, 8. O, is a large sheet of
frcBlt water, known at Dtwho Like, widely
celebrated for its greet quantity of fish of
manv varieties, Abont tan days ago a
terrific storm of several boars's duration
passed over tbst section, doing great dam
age to growing crops and beating largo
quantities of lsuves and limbs of trees into
tbe lake. A tow days after this storm tbo
fish in the lake began to appear by
thonssnds upon tbe aarfsoe of the water in
a dying oonaition, the number lncretsing
daily nntil now the entire snrfaco
of the lske is literally oovtred with dead
fish. Tbe uaterof this lake has always
been of a whitish color, clear, soft and
pleasant to the taste, bnt immediately after
tbe storm it became ss black as ink anil
bitter us quinine, in which condition it h«a
since coniiuned. Alligators,' cooters and
water moccasin snakes were aeon leaving
the lske in large numbers. It is said that
the fi.h would approach the thore strug
gling as if anxinns to get oa the land. The
stench arising from the greet mass of de
composed fisn is sickening, and the hnz-
smis are bolding high carnival. This
strange phenomenon is attracting great at
tention and hundreds of pertons era deity
visiting the scene. Dewho take is about
two miles long, from 2uO to EOO yards wide,
and vaties in depth from ten to tt^rty feet.

India Sbootlug Tigers.
Ban Francisco Examiner.
Standing in tbo conrt in tbe Palace Hotel
last night and listening to the rnnsio of the
band, tbs oelabraUd Austrian prince, Lonis
E-tterhazy, as be smoked his cigar, told a
reporter of some remarkable personal ad
ventures in tiger hunting in the jangles of
India.
‘ It was in ’86," arid the royal Hungarian,
“that I set cf! entirely nlone to enjoy this
rp-jrt. By saying a'.oue I do not menu that,
bn: I had witu me no Europeans, nob >dy
bnt native Indian hunter., who are tnere
c tiled shiktraes. They nro very aktl.fnl
tiger hunter., and know whete they may
soonest be found. I went far into the Inte
rior of Central India, away even from tbe
remoat ontposis of civilization, anil right
Into the jangles where tbe fiurotat of them
w.-ro. I was connected in an important
way with the Ansiriau govern mint, t nt on
aow nnt of the la-emu.tun of lim .purr
fraught as it was with annuial danger, 1
chose t : go entirely unattended by any bnt
thn shikaraes.
'Tiger-hniiting In Indie is best oar led on
by bailing with eattle, so l took a drove ot
forty with me. A bund of some thirty of
the natives was started three weiks in ad
vance to seek ont tbe best bnnting-gruauds,
and wherever a good spot was found one of
tho shikarees dropped out with a owtsiu
number of tbe eattle to await my ouming.
Io this way I was enabled to hnnt in the
wil lest sections. Tbe osttle were tied ono
by one tu trees in the jneglo in tbe margin
cf a circle sometimes us much us five miles
across. They were pliesil thereat nigh',
l'he tigers came f nth at Light to seek their
prey, and, finding the eattle, leaped upon,
kilUd and devoured as much as they cared
to, and went their w,i\. Mu -h M tim coun
try is luv and wet, end ti.v rs • n-.it>
be tracked in tbe .oft soil by tbe expert na
tive Indians. Followii g tbe track each saa-
c.ssive morning after halting, we wonld
come upon and shoot them.
“In this way, in eleven month., with bnt
a single gnn. I myself killed nineteen
tiger.. This is the best rcoord made in
India in eighteen years. I bad s very big
rifle, what is known ts an eight-ball gnn,
carrying twelve drachms of powder. With
this an expert is ablo to bring down even
the largest tig r easily, and sometimes by a
tingle shot Bat tbo sportsman most be as
quick as lightning, for no soonor dies ono
of these wild animals tot yon, even though
he may be snrfettud with food, th.n be will
leap for yon with all tbe qnlckneta im
aginable, and if yon do not make suro work
of it yon aro gone. Tho first two or three
times, when undergoing these experiences,
it mads me somewhnt nervons, for fear l
wonld not make a centra shot, bnt in time
5 ;yil. iBcrw oonfidei.ee. I speak now of
banting tigers on foot, as 1 was doing.
This is tbe moat dang«rons way, but it is
more fascinating. I hi vend times went ofl
into the jnngle entirely alone, and hunting
in this way I had » Lumber of narrow es
capes.
“On one occuion I was tracking a tiger,
and was raising my gnn to shoot, having
como upon it suddenly, wbon I was startled
by the deep growl and rapid tread ot an
other oumiug upon me, I was so bard press
ed that, after shooting one, I had to flm for
my life, and only just eaoaped by climbing
• Met b the Mivwnth MM I many
times slept out alono in tbe dismal jungle,
with only my blanket to keep nil the rain.
I suppose I underwent tnmy such expe
riences, so far as exposure is concerned, as
yonr Americans trapper end miner did in
earlier and more dangerous days.
“Another way to hnnt tigers is to do so
shooting from elephants or camels. When
fbls is done a smaller rifle la generally
nlrd. I hnntad principally as much ns
200 or 300 miles away from the farthest
outpost. I bad a regular caravan of ele
phant., thikaracs, tents and vsrions iqnip-
age, bnt, wandering away by myself, 1 was
forced to rengh it and endare htrdsl
which I hardly ai-tlcipsted. This was
case when lor qnite a long period ell my
servants gut sick wi'h fever. I shot more
nd bigger tig. in daring tbo roioy months.
In ten days in July I got flvo tigers and s
I'Hiiih. r. A tiger always c n.-»u« a lull
and goes back to a bill. He will Dot stay
long oo low ground. U-unlly three or foar
at least ot a banting party aro killed before
tbe season is over. Yon will understand,
therefore, w_at good fortune wo bad in es
caping lose of Ufa.
' I also had quits an Interesting expert-
enoe in bnDt rg the bnfislo or bison of In
dia. This bi«.n is mnab larger aud a great
deal fiercer than the American bison He
bts the same tough, bnllit pro f forehead,
and s great hnn.p on his shoolilers, bat
does not have the long, tbiek, flarii g mane,
□is feet are white as high up as the knee
and stunk. Yon wound one cf theee buffa
loes and as soon ss he sees yon, no matter
how bid he is bmt be will make fur yon.
He conus with husd down to gore yon. end
be means h> kill yon. There is no snimtl
with more f racily or tbst means moredsn
ger to the hunter. Their horns era some
thing stupendons. I banted baft do st At
satu, on the B'shsmspujire river, between
Barman and Thibet 1 killed a f-r. cions
cow there tbst I had drat wonnded ai d
which in consequence came very near kill
ing me, whose horns were of the enormous
lenghth of eix feet
“T e tigers of India, although very ter
midsble, are not as Urge ss gunere'ly sup
plied. They are goo. rally said to w. gh
abont 1,000 pounds each, bat I think taw of
them resen that T is average weight
found to be abunt 600 ponnde ! ’

OCEANS OF FUN.
Something About the Attractions of tho
Coming: Fourth of July.
The directors haviDg in charge the amuse
ments for the oomiog Fourth of July, have
strung together suon attractions bh cannot
fail to fill up the day and please every class
of visitors to tho grounds It ia a day that
the people lay aside all bn^ineus and give
themselves up to the enjoyment cf the oo-
.isioD, aud the more amusements that can
e crowded into tho day tho better. The
following is a list of the more important:
The cavalry tournament will embrace the
Old Timo Tournament with some new feat
ures.
The race between bioyoles and horses will
prove interesting and exciting. The dis
tance to bo run is twenty mile*, and
rider of tho horse has the
privilege of changing horses when
ion mileB have been covered. Thehioyolista
say they will beat the horses and are hard
work training for the raoe.
There will albO bo a competitive display
! horsemanship in which tlio youpgpeople
will havo an opportunity of showing what
cau uo *u iuo k*uy w ilulug & uO»55.
o two hundred jard foot race will
bring in everybody with legj. Tbfre will
also bo a hundred yard race and a hundred
and twenty-five yard raoe for boys.
Two hours will be devoted to a walking
match and it is open to the world. There
aro several ambitious walkers who yet want
chance to find out whi^. they can do in the
way of walking.
A new featuro will be the boat raoes on
tho Ocmnlgee. This will b* between row
boats and bateaux, and will bo managed
by Mr. Ohai. Herbst.
There will be plenty of music, as the
Library will offer a handsome prizs for the
best brass bind. This will not only bring
tho Mao^n bands in competition but iuuaw
of other places as well.
And then there is the baby show where
nd pirents can bring their prettiest and
best babies in their best bib aud tucker and
let thorn Btiive for the prize. The prettiest
baby und the fattest baby, either boy or
girl, will stand a chance of becoming fa
mous as well as tuking off the prize. They
say thore are lots of babies in training for
this feature.
1 hose who enjoy dancing will find plen
ty of room and music where they con have
all the ploasuro they want.
Tho kitofiying is another new feature.
This will be managed by Mr. Bob Jemison,
who will have a kite eight feet high on the
{rounds. The string will be lot oat and
muled in by moans of a windliss.
Tho Macon Oadets, under Captain Pratt
Brown, will have a coinpeti ive drill and be
presented with a stand of colors.
Tho old-timers will enjoy tbo be< reboot
ing match, which will be conducted in the
good, olcLfanhioned way, and ua it is now
sometimes done iu the Warricr district.
The gr< a^y pole will be well greased, and
tbo boy that reaches tho top will get a hand
some roward for bis efforts.
Tbe egg-throw ing will be something well
worth seeing. Ttioso who saw the baseball-
throwing at that “samo old coon" at the
fair, can get a pretty good idea of this fun.
A negro pokes his hood through a hole in a
(•heet ot oanvas, and allows eggs to be
thrown at him. Ginger, the boot-
black, has agreed to become the
target. Ginger is the originator of lhe
trade trick of giving "a shine and a
hard-boiled egg for five cents;" bnt ho wants
it understood tlmt the eggs to be thrown at
him on tho Fourth must not he hard-
boiled.
Tho chioken-picking contest will be a
novelty. There in a negro working for
Ool. 0. M. Wiley who can kill,
scald, pick, clean and pot a
chicken on the griddle in forty
st conds! Hows that (or gtiiiug a spriug
chicken ready. Then there aro qnite a
number of other oooks abont the city who
can perforin tbe feat in quick time. Many
of them are practicing and will pash Gel.
Wiley's cook clone to the wall. •
'1 bus it will be seen that the day will be
one that everybody oan and will enjoy.

ty young lady, who proved to be Miss
