His play in the tournament .proved his rank to be high among the masters of the game. His victory over New York's champion, Eugene 'Delmar, was not only, interesting of itself, but was made doubly so by the brilliant and orignal manage ment of the contest. The Canadian lad has not yet demonstrated that he pos sesses the unique genius of Morphy, but the game is so much better understood now, than it was in his day, that perhaps uch surprises as he treated the experts to are no longer possible.

User Tears a Ber to pieces and a Leopard Kill a "Wolf. While keepers were removixlg the wild beasts in a museum on Grand ptreet, New York, to their rammer quarters In Philadel phia, the black bear escaped from its cage and caused a panic George PecL the mana per, and Paterson, the keeper, j chased the brute, which after futile efrorts) to escape, crouched down beside the Bengal tiger's cage. The tiger pushed a paw through the cage and eeizedheLear by the throat. (The keeper and manager tried to separata the enraged brutes but without avail. The tiger held on and grasping the bear by the topi of the head with its other forepaw tore poor bruin's scalp from its head, while with its hind legs the tiger fairly disemboweled the bear despite all that the men could do. f I- - In its struggles the bear struck Patterson on the thigh And tore his flesh dow&j to the knee, while Peclrwas thrown to the ground and badly injured about the knee. The tiger's face was scratched and torn by the bear's Claws, but it did not relax its hold until the boar expired. ? Meanwhile the entire menagerie had been converted into a perfect pandemonium.. The Hons, already restless, now began to roar with excitement and fiercely jumped against the sides of their' cages. The hyenas became furious at the smell of blood which flowed from the bear and the tiger, while the leop ard and the other large animals were all roaring and rushing up and down within their cage3. All this time the little monkeV3 cage to assist the men who were fighting tiger, had partially unfastened a partition between the leopard and another cage which held a wolf, and while wildly rushing from end to end of hia den the leopard perceived this opening and rushed into the adjoining cage. In a moment he had fastened upon the throat of the unf ortunate wblf precisely as a cat pounces upon a rat and shook him furiously back and forth. The attention of tho keeper was attracted by this new uproar, and those who could be spared jwero sent to quell it. They found nothing but an empty box in front of the doorway Is to prevent the . wolf and the leopard from getting out on the floor. One of the men climbed up the bide of the cage and let down the bars. From time to time the wolf, which had now freed himself, (sprang upon the leopard's back while he was crouching for a spring. The leopard Inlawed at the forearm of the wolf, and the wolf snapped viciously again and again at his spotted hide, and the cage was filled with f ui and blood. Bones cracked and frightful f roars and screams followed each new attack. At last . the leopard made a desperate spring at the wolf and caught him fairly by the neck, fchaking him viciously and finally hurling the wolf into the corner of the cage, a mangled mass of blood, bones and lacerated flesh. The wolf died in a few moments. The leopard was badly hurt. .

Washington's Letters. The New vorK JtMst publishes a page of original letters of George Washington, that have never before been printed. These were all written before the Revolutionary war, while Washington was at Mount Vernon en gaged tn agricultural pursuits, and still a young r"ap, being little more than thirty Sears of age. The letters are all characteris o of the man, disclosing his methodical habits of business, his probity, bis generosity, and at the same time his carefulness not to allow himself to be cheated. In one of these letters Washington takes bis own measure for a suit of clothes and sends it to London, there being no tailors in .Virginia to make the kind of garments that a gentleman wore. In another he directs the selling of a slave to the West Indies, but is particular to ad vise buyers that the negro u "a rogue and a runaway." A hogshead of mm would be taken In part payment. It was customary in those days to sell runaway slaves to the isl ands, and this practic prevailed in Massa chusetts u weuu ta Virginia, . In two letters Washington explains his pe cuniary embarrassments to hie creditors in England at considerable length, and gives a eotore of lif a at Mount Vernon of exceeding terest. : La two others ha remonstrates with a debtor (Captain Poseyl who, while owing; him 700. asks for his endorsement on a note for 500 "more. - It appears that claim-jumping was not on known in those days, for Washington re monstrates against an act of this ki nd to his 'own detriment, though not in tha terms of exasperation which appear to be common in Oklahoma.

C A telegram received from Laurel, Md., says the .Baltimore Automatic Transit Company has constructed there a circu lar tract, two miles in circuit, upon which experiments are conducted. The system of propulsion is much the same as on the ordinary electric railway. The Edison dynamo and the Sprague motor are employed. The overhead rail is the main feature in the system, a double flange wheel on the car "and motor catch ing upon it when the train is in motiop.

They knew he was not a fisher nan, for he was always resting on his j Kirs, except when it became necessary for ve-sel. Ifanv of the curous ones had taken the trouble to watch the lx.atrr.aa 'and tlic? steamer which was coming up 'from Otiamntine. thev would ruiMl;w "aave learned his occupation. i a v:. ::, J As the steamer came nearer to the city the man seemed, suddenly imbued with life. He grasped his oars and rowed quickly to it, and fastened to the tug that was towmg it up the bay. It was evident that whatever his work was it had not yet begun, for he seated himself in the stern of his boat, and, folding his arms, calmly gazed at the jolly-looking seamen at work on the steamer. When the vessel was within a short distance of her pier in the Eric Basin, the boatman cast loose from the tug, rowed to the bow of the steamer and. waited until a line had been thrown into his boat. Making it fast to one of the boat's seats, he rowed to a pier, passed it to a 'long shoreman, and quickly pulled out cf the way" of the steamer, which, was soon pushed and drawn in n?xt to the dock. The boatman's work in passing the lino occupied about fifteen minutes. For this he received $3. The intti-nt he received the money he was off in his boat again to wait for another steamer whieli had just been reported off the Highlands. He was a 'line passer;" and although it was not absolutely necessary for him to meet the steamer, the fear that a rival might get ahead of him forced him to be the first in the field. There are several men who follow this trade for a livelihood. They seldom become wealthy, but all of them live comfortably on their earnings. Most of these lwe-passing boatmen have flecured the patronage of particular lines of steamers, while the rest depend upon cnance lobs lor a living, while the charges for passing a line to the shore is o, boatmen are some tunes forced to take a smaller amount for the job. Many of the transatlantic steamship lines employ meir own passers, who are paid a weekly salary; but enough tramp steamers and , l r i , .. . . - auuig c-3-rjf arrive eacn aay to give me free lances of the trade plenty to do. Probably ninety -nine out of a hundred, landsmen tan see no necessity for this work, it u necessary, however, for it would be a very difficult undertaking for a steamer or large sailing vessel to get in; alongside a pier without passing a line to the shore. Many steamers are longer than the piers ; are so heavy that should they strike with only ordinary force against these flimsy structures, they would be very likely to knock them to pieces. It Is therefore necessary that the vessel should be drawn and pushed gently. The drawing is done by the line passed by the boatmen, while the tug helps the vessel in by pushing against her stern. Another unique character who earns his living along the water front is the river junkman. He purchases everything, from a rope's end to a useless anchor. The junkman begins work early la the morning. Seated in an old boat- he rows from vessel to vessel, buying odds and cuas xor aimost notning. lit generally runs a junk shop on shore, to which he trans- - m Bftv i i &A1 S Uil ten each night the collections of the day. Like the line nmur. thm (,,Vm. v.. many rivals. When a ship that has had a long voyage gets Into the harbor prob- ably a dozen junkmen will race to get to her first. The fortunate the Uicki3 articles accumulated during u , J ' "nue much of the junk sold by sailors is thought to be worthless, the junkmen generally turn it to good account. If it if an old knife or any other iron or steel article, he will polish by the sweat of their brows. It is pain, f ul to watch them oa a hot summer day pulling up and down the river in their a neavuy ioauea boats. Sometimes they have assistants, but usually they work alone, and many of them hive grown rich at their trade. The night watchmen at dif event pirn are very suspicious of river junkmen who are out after dark. They look upon them as thieves of the worst serf, and should they row near docks . they are guarding, they watch them as a hawk would. Tha life of these guardians of she piers is not very pleasant. They usually go on duty at 6 o'clock in the evenly, and remain ca guard until about 7 o'clock in the morn leg. Borne cf them are provided with little .sentry boxes, but the majority have no shelter during their lonely watch except what the sides of the vessels at the pirs afford.
