During a royal hunt in one of the Hajpoot states an ex cepionally fino tiger was caught net ted, no doubt and lured into a cage. His captors then proceeded to noose his feet and draw them through holes bored in the floor of the cage, nd a black smith was directed to draw his claws. The tiger's legs having been secured by ropes, the royal sportsmen had a sliding door in the cage opened, and when the captive put his head out they shut the door down on his neck while the black smith, with mallet aud chisel, broke off his teeth. Preparations were concluded by muzzling (he poor brute with strong wire in some inhuman fashion. The tiger was then released, to be baited by dogs, and, despite? his maimed condi tion, he killed several before the "sportsmen" wearied of the game, and shot him.

BT CUAELES B. LEWIS. The Norwich was a bark of about 700 tons, plying between Liverpool and the South American coast, and she carried from 5 to 15 passengers on her outward trip. Of the ten passengers two were servant girls going out to English fam ilies, five were men who were in search of health or adventure, and tbe other three consisted of a man, his wife and a daughter 10 years old. Tbe crew waa made up of Englishmen, Americans, Swedes and lascars and. was neither better norworso than the average. That trouble came, followed by' a tragedy, was not tbeir fault as a crew, though some of them had to suffer lor it. It was my second voyage as an ap prentice, and though I was not taken into the confidence cf tbe men I camo to know all. From tbe hour of taking command Captain Shaw showed himself to be one cf the mcst cruel and hard hearted masters afloat. He had been al lowed to select new mates to please himself, and they were men after his own heart. We were not yet off sound ings when the officers btgan knocking the men about, and inside of three days the crew were a unit in declaring that tho bark was a floating hell. The crew of the Norwich were a will ing lot, and they had no fault to find about being weak handed or with the provisions. So far s I could observe and eo far as testimony went later on, they gave the officers no cause for knock ing them about as was done. When we were four days out,' one man was laid up with a broken arm, a second was in his bunk with a broken head, and no man had escaped being knocked down. I had been rope's ended and kicked and cuffed by the chief mate, in whose watch I was, until somo of tbe passen gers wcut to Captain Shaw to complain, and yet. no boy was willing -to work harder or run faster at the word of com mand. The protests of the passengers caused a row aft and a change in the usage of the crew. As to tho change, the mates were instructed not to exhibit temper while the passengers were about, but at night, when they could do it unobserved, they knocked tbe men about with more heartiness than befcre. The sailer with the broken am would have had no care at all except for tbe passengers, and the fact that he was an incumbrance seemed to harden the hearts of the officers against all the rest of us. Unless there is treasure on beard to be seized and di vided a mutiny is a matter to grow by slow degrees. It is rare that mutiny comes about through ill usage. The average sailor will submit to thirst, hunger aud cruelty a hundred times over before he is ready to rise in defi ance and take tho sbip out of the hands of her lawful officers. But there is a limit to even what Eailors can stand. But for tho sympathy ciearly shown by tho single men among tbe passengers there might have been no mutiny, al though I am sure that after the first week afloat $ome pf the nien were plot ting to make &p example of the mate by striking him dpwn during his watch and throwing his tody overboard. It was not that the passengers camo among us and expressed their sympathy in so many words, though a word was dropped now and then, but. their looks and actions plainly told us with whom they took sides. While that sympathy was merited and justly placed, it was a dangerous thing for all concerned and led to lamentable results. Had the men not been ure of it they would have furnejj for. revenge in some other direc tion.. 0ne jifp migbt have been taken, jmt things would have stopped there, A Iraid., the uicn did pot take roe into their confidence, n$ I waB only a boy, and they Scan d me, but I Eaw and heard enough to satisfy me of tho gen eral feelirg and to make sure, after we had got down to the south of the Azores, that a climax was at hand. We were a short hailded crew when we left Liver pool, and one able seaman was laid up almost at oiice, and from that time on more or less cf the meywere partly 'dis abled. This urcdo if hard' work to sail the bark and cn, several pcqisions both mates hadTo.go alpf q jelpput. "hat brought he climax fo head was the action pf the naip one night soon after poming pn watch niiduight. W had a following wind PUd Plenty of it, and tbopgj cpe pf (hp best'men jn the ship was at the V heel the nicest steering could cot prevent her from swing ing off her course now and then. Had there been two men at thevheei the Je suit would h&vp been thp same, and it was something not to be found fault with under tho circumstances. The mate, however, used it as an excuse to attack the. sailor aud do him grievous damage, aud as the poor fellow lay on the deck unconscious he was kicked in the face again nnd again. When the watch on deck Eaw this, they rushed aft in a body and attacked the mate. He made a hot fight of it, but was thrown overboard' Tithou eiug'much hurt, thejneij $eu 'bVppgbfc tWfcark to th wind., and ut; the maneuver was. completed; the cappajn and vf a.tdt! helQW and librae pf tb? poggpgers appeared. Hgd the captain been the right sort of man the mutiny, would have ended there, but he rushed upon the sailors . with a.wful oaths and. began knocking them right' yd left, -when one of the men beat in his skull with an iron be laying pin. There was no stoppiig them after that. The second mate was brought from his berth and flung over board, end then the men bad full pos session. That was tbe end of tbe mu tiny as a mutiny, however. I mean that, having got rid of their officers, the men did not let their passions carry them further, ir Under the directions of the oldest sea neb aboard the craft e'ajripped pf ker canvas and jef t to ii "that situa tion uatil moxgiiiy, and soi srofc. & EhcH t of rejoicing'.was induigsdin. If; there was liquor 'aboard, the men did not hunt for it Now that the mutiny bad come to pass they talked freely in. .my presence; and ono -'and: all seemed .much: cast 'down that, they had been forced .to make such a move. There was much talk as to what should be done, but it amounted to nothing until after breakfast next morning. Then every body aboard the bark except tbe woman and her daughter gathered aft for & talk. Two or three of the passengers were outspoken in their sympathy for the men, and all others were at leastueu tral. At the instance of t'?o seaman who had charge of the urait a -paper was drawn up setting forth all the facts in the case, and this was signed by both passengers and sailors. . No one aboard knew anything about navigation, and it was at-first proposed that we remain where we were-and fly a signal of distress. In the course of two or , three days -we were sure to be sighted and relieved. This plan was agreeable to all for a few hours, but after awhile the mutineers began to grow nervous and afraid. No matter what cause they had for mutiny, they thad taken three lives, and no matter what testimony the passengers might give a British court would surely inflict severe punishment. There vwas really no ringleader. One was as guilty as the other, and all might expect the same .punishment. As this came to be talked over the men decided not to wait to be takes prisoners and carried borne for trial.' If they would escape, even tem porarily, they must get rid of their pas sengers. How this should be done was not settled without a further, talk. The passengers did not wish to go knocking about the ocean in a craft without offi cers or navigator, and when it was sug gested that they takeTo tbe longboat and make for tho Azores, 800 miles away, there was not much opposition. Two of the single men knew something about handling a boat, and the craft they were to tako was big enough to hold twice their number. Nearly the whole day had passed before this de cision was reached, and then it wras agreed- that no move should be made be fore the next .morning., No fault could be found with the behavior of tbe men. They did no work, as a matter of course, but were quiet and kept to tbeir end of tbe. shipj Hadwe been" overhauled on that first day no resistance would have, been made, but :as the hours slipped away tbe men became more anxious to avoid being taken. During thouight the longboat was got over and fitted out. She was provid ed with sailors, water, food, lanterns, bedding and whatever could be thought of for the comfort and safety of her oc cupants. The weather was pleasant, the season pacific,- and there was every chance that tho boat would land at the Azores all right. She left us about 0 o'clock next morning, all the passengers going williugly and seemingly to be in good spirits; and all the nien shook hands with .each and every one. of the j rwt " t 1 I 1 t crew, vvnen enp was a miip away, tun vas made 7on the b&rki and weheaded for the African coast. It had been set tled among the wen to run into the Moorish coast and wreck, the bark and tako tbeir chances. Iwas ordered to get ready and go with the boat, but protest ed so vigorously that I was finally per mitted to remain, but the man with the broken rm, who was still a great suf ferer and useless as & sailor, was sent off with tho passengers. For five days and nights after losing sight of the boat we worked our way to the east, but being short handed and without officers the bark was kept un der easy sail and her pace was slow. No crew could have been more orderly or agreed better. There was nptpven a'dip pute", ppr (ii(l apy pno. suggest that the cabins bp lpoted pf their stores and val pables, The only idea advanced was to reach the coast and get clear of any pur suit." On the morning of the sixth day, when the coast was almost in sight, a British nian-pf-war which was coming up from Cape Town sighted us and be gan signaling. No one aboard could make ouwhat she meant or answer her, and as a result her suspicious were aroused and she made pursuit. We packed on sail and stood for tbe coast until her shot began to come aboard, and then there was nothing to do bnf surrender- Tey ' minutes after the stranger "was alongside our story was knov?P and within half an hour all our prevf except me were Jn irons., As to the longboat, sbe was picked up next day, after she put off, and her people carried back to Eugland. We were tak en, to London without a stop. On the voyage a mutineer named Hawkins committed suicide, but all others were safely landed in court The trial lasted for days and days.

One of tbe pleaaahtest drday drearas is to imagine how charitable yon would be if you had plenty of 'moaey. The role of a bountiful master or mistress is a delightful onei and it-is easy to imagine how, if you had a commwid of. a for tune, you would !mko.p9oplp. happy and with whaigrace ypa wjwki receive their gratitude. Of codrsejfew persona can venture to indulges ihb hopo-that they will be rich, but wh'ile we are dreaming.tbese dreams it is well enough to think whether" we aro:sfibwing our selves charitable in theise;cf what is really within our coramandi Take, for instance, one's thought?. It is natural enough to puta hard ndj bitt6r con struction upon the actions of others. Possibly, from a supehfcial point of view, their conduct warrants it. But a thoroughly charitable person one who would use money beneficently if he had it will certainly maka,allowances for others and only reluctantly come to the severe judgment. It is a mistake also to suppose that money can do every thing. There are a good many persons who would not if you were: as rich as a Barnato tako a penny from you. They do not want your money, eyen though they are not rich themselves, but they would prize consideratenesa, sympathy and fellowship. If w withhold theso things that are surely within our pow er, probably we should not be so very generous if we had plenty of money. Philadelphia Ledger. The Joke on the Joker. A good story, of which! Mr... John Kendfick Baugs, the huincrfst; is tho hero, has leaked out. , Some time ago Mr. Bangs received the following letter from a city in one of the Pacific states: Mr. John K. Baugs: , Dear Sir I have been asked to respond to a toast at our board of trade's annual dinner next month, aijd Iwrlto to inquire what would be your lowest terms for preparing a pood, rattling, funny speech for me fo deliver on that occasion. A prompt reply will oblige. Yours very truly, . To which Mr. Bangs immediately sat down and penned the following reply: "DeAk Sir I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of the inst., and in reply would say that my regular xato for after dinner speeches is $500 per speech. I have not as yet, how ever, opened up this lino of goods in tho west, and as I am anxious to secure custom jn that part of the country I will offer yon special terms namely, $250 for such an address as you describe, tho amount to be paid, as soon as shipment is made.

New York PGst. tTq Cut Stick.!1 This expression had its, birth in tba days when people, relied mora on their legs as a means of locomotion, than they do nowadays, "When a man started to foot it-from one town to another, he usually cut a stick or a sapling to help, him along on his journey. This habit was particularly common in Ireland, and it is more than probable that the expression found bixth in that country. About the year 1820 a song re--la ting the adventures' of an Irishman was very popular in Glasgow. It began: "Oh, I creished my broguea and I cut my stick." The phrase took hold of (he American mind in the days of slavery. A runaway black would "generally cut a stick $o help him, on his travel to pos sible liberty, and the advertisements CQiicerniPf? runaway slaves were nearly always headed with a crude woodcut of a negro with a stick and a bundle over his shoulder. New York World French Detectives. - The ability of French detectives in the matter of disguising their identity is marvelous.

An a matter of course, the gentleman was on his guard and mistrusted every one who came near him. Hut the man won his bet. It is Heedless to enter into the par ticulars. Suffice it to say that in the course of the next four days he presen-. ed himself in tho character of a boot maker's assistant, a hack, driver, a ven erable old gentleman with a great inter est in tho Bourse, and finally as a waiter in, tho. hotel where the geutloman was, staying.
