Winner, the trainer of wild beasts, who is now in Barnum's employ. For sixteen years Winner has lived night and day with tke wild beasts he has been training, and the familiarity with danger, which led him at times to be careless in the presence of the beats, has resulted in the marks that he will oear to nis grave. In 1866, while he stood talking to a friend to near a lion's cage in this city, the lion reached nis paw tnroHgh the bars and brought u aowa witn terrible force upon his head. The animal's elaws tore up the flesh and left a deep scar upon hia loreneaa. omi years ago, in St; j-ioms, winner leaned his hand against tne bars of a oage coataioing hyenasj and while he stood explaining the habits of these animals to some vi?i tors, one hyena snapped off his little inger and devoured it. "It is easier to tame a lioa than a tiger," says Mr. Winner. "They r-j spond betttr to kindness. There in no animal equal to the tiger. It is the genuine king among beasts, for it is aot only more ferocious than the lion, but camparatively stronger Of fburlioBs that Barnum haa in thd cage with hia show, two were bojn in The nine eaakes were fed the day be-7 fore j uLii&cun, aaiu tut bo3, which had not beeri fed for two months, had their appetites whetted to voracity. .When the snake charmer entered the "boas attempted to coil about him, bui he kept them from en circling his throat and separated them from the anacondas.

"True enough; but they starve to death, as their mothers refuse to suckl them." "Is there any difference iu ferocity between malts and females amosg wild beasts ?" "Is all animals of the cat species the females are more vicious and dan gerous than the males." "Have you trained any new ani mals lately ?" 'Yes, there's Beecher, the Poonah bear, a very funny animal, unlike any other bear I ever saw. It stands tm its hind legs and gesticulates like a speaker. It.' has a number of amus irig tricks, but it was easily taught.'; now is tne baby elephant ? "It weighed 960 pounds last June, and I. guess it weighs over a thousand now. It weighed 213i pounds upon its birth in Philadelphia en Maich 10; loeU, atd when it was three months old it weighed 2,35 pounds. We are now watching to see how IoDg before its mother weans it. We txpect that it will be between two and three years if it is not taken from her.'' "What food dees it eat?" HeCe, its mother by the way, one oi the best trick elephants in the world is teaching it to eat. The mother picks out the hay for the baby, which minces at iV But what do you thick is the baby's favorite drink ? Being a native American, you think it is gin cocktail, bat it is not." "What then?" "Why, circus lemonade. suk lemonade all day up trunk."' - Mr. H. H. Copeland is the keeper of Barnum's twenty elephants. He says that while most anicaals will re spond to kindness, the elephant is controlled by fear, and hat'bipks there is no such thing as aneotioa joriis keeper with an elephant. Sometinles, after patient training, when they eeem to have been mastered so f that they understand every command and ebey it like a man, they beeome all at once sulky and obstinate In one of tfcese fits it takes terrible punishment to master them. It is necessary to chain their feet, join the chains to a rope, run the rope through a block and tackle, hitch ansther elephant to the end, and throw the refractory beast. When they are thrown taey nave to bi punished with prods until they yield. Chief is the ugliest elephant Barnum has got. At East Saginay two years ago Chief broke out of th$ line pi the street parade and starte4 after a countryman who was passing in a two horse wagon. The elephant bellowed ' and lifted his trunk and steadily chased the man for three miles. He caught up with the wagon;, which he overturned into a ditch, s,nd was about to do further mischief when he was eaptured. Chief rebels every time he has to go into a car, and he has to be prodded with a steel point before he moves. Albert is another elephant that has the sulks. At Otta wa last month all of the elephants were turned into the river to bathe, and while Albert was in the water he was seized with the sulks. When his keepers came abont him he seized one with his trunk and came very near drowning him. Junoone of the best trained of the elephants, alter a re cent performance in the ring, to take revenge upon Professor Arstingall, one of the ring-masters, squirted a pailf il of dirty water over his spotless linen from her trunk. To punish her a stel prod was ran into her hind leg until she roared with pain. j ' R.' H. Dockrill, the horse-traier, who is the husband of Mme. Elise Dockrill, the bareback rider, relates that a few years ago, when he was with a circus near Basle, in Switzer land, one of the elephants became ma. and breaking away, began o tear up everything within its reach No one dared capture it, and its mid career was stopped only when a can non was loaded with grapeahet and tired into its body. A carious noise was heard ia the "cage occupied by the seven anacondas and the two Doa constrictors in rar nam's menagerie early one morning reeently, and the keepers who were aroused witnessed a magnificent fight. The anacondas had joined forces atrainst the two boas, but the latter conquered. When the smallest of the anacondas was killed the largest bea eovered it with slime and swallowed it bodily. The other saake was sev ered and divided between the boas. Clean, aromatic mast be got from the shop where they know what is good in the way of oat meal. The meal must be stored as carefully as tea in a eovered dry jar, bo that neither must, mice nor beetles can defile it. The saucepan mast be the pink of cleanliness, and must not have been ased for anything other than milk and bread stuffs. Sauce- nana -i I,. 1. . . . iu uicu pciatoes, greens uicot uHve Deen cooKed areueve enough for nr'lk and bread mm such materials, the delicious porridge is easy, but without them id impossible. Bearing in mind the prineiple on which bread stuffs and milk are to be combined, we perceivs that, the meal must be eooked in water.' Therefore, having clean boiliDg water in the saucepan, we take a smaU teacupful of meal (two to three ouaces) for each pint of water in the saucepan. Draw the saucepan of boiling watir off the firt and then sift in the meal tLrough the fingers. The meal must be sifted into the water so as to be evenly spread over the surface, and to sink free from lumps. Then push the saucepan fully on the fire and boil briskly for a min ute or two, so as to thoroughly mix the meal up with the water before it begins to thicken. Xext boil slowly for three or four quarters of an hour, according to the meal. Care must be taken that the porridge is kept just on the move, and it must be stirred, if necessary, so as not to burn, and not to get lumpy. Smoke and soot must be carefully kept from contami nating it. The porridge is now cooked S3 far that all the starch-eranulea ar fully burst, and the meal is properlv disintegrated. Now pour out tho por ridge like a thin custard into a vege table dish, and leave it to cool un covered. If successful, the porridge on cooling will set or gelatinize; a brownish skin forms over the surface and as this contracts, the porridge separates all round frem . the dish at its edge. It becomes a soft tremulous jelly, perfectly cooked, sweet in flavor, uniform in consistence, and free from contamination by dirty saucepans, by burning, or by the defilement of soot or smoke. It should be eaten at the end of breakfast with cold milk, and I it mai .Miner's Experience.

Many were the of fers to buy the portrait of the lovely child; but the artist, though often in want, steadfastly refused to sell "his guardian angel," us he called him. Years passed. Many times as he sat and gazed upon the blooming beauty of tha face before him, the artist questioned himself as to' the probable fate of the pretty c-hikl. "I would like to see him once aain; would like tD see how ha looks.'' He would say to himself, "I wonder it' I would know him t Mas he grown to be a man, good and true, or a .knave a ne'er do-well; or does he dwell in heaven?" And, as once again the artist sauntered through the streets ef his beautiful town, he came upon a youth whose features bere the fctamp of vices so terribly of a degradation so low, and an expression so. diaboli cal, that its sight caiised him to hem hi9 steps. What a picture ! "How I should like to sketch those features as a contrasting piece to the beauti ful, pure innocence of the boy I por trayed years ago," said the artist to himself. The youth, haviug noticed the in terest with which the urtist scanned him, begged for money, for he was both a beggar and a thief. "Come with me to my studio; let me paint your portrait, and I will pay you what you may demand." The youth followed the artist. When the sketch had been completed, and he had hidden in his pockets the coins tha artist gare him, the beggar turned to go. As his gaze fell upon the picture of the little boy he started as it stung by a serpent; while his "Yes; I like the' country cut that way' be replied to -the query. "The climate is ;ood, tie scenery is fine, and some of the people are honest as needs be. The trouble-is knowing how to take the bad ones." "I should. thiLk that would be easy." . "Yes, it looks that way; but I had some experience. I am the origin (il diskivtrer of 'the richest mine around Leadville. Yes, I am the very man, though you -couldn't think it to look at these' clothes."

Grass Fired by a Meteor. At about 9:45 o'clock on.Wednesday night last, while Mr. Frank Harbauer was sitting on the porch at the rear of his residence on. Adams street, be tween Fourth and Fifth, he observed a "ball of fire" fall to the earth but a few yards frem him, and strike in the yard back of Shepherd's furniture re pairing shop. He described it as re sembling in appearance an electric light, and it came wih a rusbiog kind of noi-e, sonithi'i like a t-kyrocket. There was no report when it struck, ! and it left no substance that could be seen. It set the dry grass on tire, however, and this Mr. Harbauer and Mr. Shepherd extinguished with wa ter. A reporter of the Register was shown the burned spot yesterday. It is probable that if Mr. Harbauer had not witnessed the fall of the meteor a conflagration woald have followed, as the grass burned up to a wooden sidewalk; fire from this would have communicated with the fence, and from the fence woald have spread to wooden baildings near it. Springfield (Il.) Register. pointed to the picture, and, throwing himself down on his knees, he wept and wailed aloud. "Man, man, what ails you ?" asked the astonished painter. "But twenty years ago you bid me coaie" to you, as now, and then, as now, you portrayed me; see yonder face was then mine own ! and now ?

"But tell me, man, whence this ter rible change ?"

His liiad endeavors came too late; sick ness, the consequence of vice and dis sipation, threw the unhappy youth upon a bed of pain. He died before he had an opportunity to prove the sincerity of his repentance. The artist plaeed his portrait by the side of that beautiful boy; and when his patrons asked him why he put so terrible a face beside anotner oi sucn wondrous beauty, he answered, sadly: "Between yon demon and yon angel, there are but twenty years of vice." traveling in Asia t x pressed a desira to get a shot at a lion.1 Not wishing to expose him to hunt.

We learn through a credible source of the commission of a diabolical mur der in Watauga county on Wednesday night last. A gentleman was travel ing through the county collecting mscey, and stopping at the house ol a lady, desired to deposit a sum oi money with her, the'ainount of which we are not informed. At first she refused, but yielding to tho persuasion of two ladies who were present she Inally consented, and the gentleman t went on his way. Mistrusting some thing from the persuasive zeal mani fested by the two unknown ladies, he resolved to return. On entering the house he was shown to his room up stairs, and he retired without asking for the money . tntruBted to tke lady's keeping. During the night he was aroused by the screams oi a woman. Hurriedlv he ran down stairs to her rescae, if possible, but was met at the foot of the stairway by two men, whom ho instantly shot, recognizing them as robbers. On investigation it was found that they were the same ladies that were there in the" evening, who influenced tho money ! deposit, attired in gentlemen's clothing, and who had, in their evil design, mur dered this inoffensive lady to obtain the meney in her possession.

When all was over, the little son looked up to his father, and with choked utterance said, "I thought I was driving, but I wasn't, was I, papa ?
