That the inti mite friendship which b*gan in boyhood between Georgt- 1'ierce and hiimeli had lasted through life That though they followed difT-rent pur suits, thev were never led st art from each other. That those tender ties hound not only tbetiiMlvrs bur their families togeth er AU udiik’ to Ids beloved friend he said; "He has been with us under Various cir cumstances; he has been with us to the grave." Ami here the great heart of It*in ert Toombs burst with its grief, and the man who bus withstood the giants of hit day, was weeping like a child. And many were the ten's that were mingled with bis iu his sorrow. Again he said: "He beard the call and answered. Lord here am I.' ‘Follow me;’ and lie followed his Muster nil the days of hia life. This was the life of George Fierce." The speaker sa 5 d that the Bishop's heart went out to all his fellow crea'ores, that while he hated sin he loved all tdnners. Gen.

A TUSSLE WITH A BUFFALO. Tho Mad Merry-Co-Round Played by Man and Beast at a Northwestern Camp. From the Manitoba Free Press. On Tuesday a party consisting ot Henry Kelly, Thomas Brown atid J. M. Ross, drove out to Stony Mountain to see Mr. Bedson'e menagerie and view the premises generally. The buffalo attracted Mr. Kel ly’s attention particularly. In the in- closure was an old bull, solitary and alone. Mr. Kelly thought he would like to fra ternize with the monarch of the plains and pat him pleasantly on tho back, ile ac cordingly leaped into the enclosure with a pUasant smite and approaclnd the gloomy brute with an easy non chalance that made him the envy cf the spectator*. In the meantime Mr. Ross ami Mr. Brown, on the other side of the fence, winked unostentatiously at each other and waited for d *velopments. Pres ently tlief came. Mr. K*liy loaled dream ily up to the bull, called him a pet name or two and patted him on the bac k. The buf falo eyed him for a niMiuent or two with stoical indifference and then made a light ning pass at him with his horn*, one of which pierced Mr. Kelly’s leg and ripped off about ml*. iiM hes of cuticle, together with a little raw flesh. The scene was instantly changed. Mr. K*lly struck for the fen< e at a Maud 8. gait and the bull gathered himself to gether for another charge. In the mean time Mr. Brown, fearing mischief to his friend, leaped recklessly into the arena and vrabbed the animal hy’tlie tail. This dis tracted the bull'a attention from Mr. Kel ley and gave that gentleman time to climb over the fence. The tronb e now was to gc: Mr. Brown out of the dilemma. The hull was getting warmed up aud had & de cidedly belligerent aspect. Mr. Brown dare not let go the animal's tail, hcca uc* the bull would instantly have turned the other end toward him, in which case Mr. Browu felt that the situation would be ex- ceo Jingly awkward. So he hung on to the tail ahi) every time the bull turned Mr. Bmwn would t rn, too. Meanwhile Mr. Ross, Mr. K*dly, Mr. Bi‘d«on and John took up reserved seatj n ihe fence and encouraged Mr. Brown to hold on, as it was only a question of a day or two when the bull would become tirid out. Mr. Brown did not require much encouragement, lnwever. He fell that the necessity of the hour was such tint he could no afford to let go. Filial ly the now iiifudated an tu&l aud hi- tor mentor approached the fence, when Mr. B own, to the utter disgust of the specta tors. suddenly let go of the tall and pass ed over the fence like a streakjof lightning.
