From the Ban Francisco Chronicle. It wan a rather doll day in the menagorie on Mission street yesterday afternoon. In the inner tent tho matinee was in progress, but fn the outer, rendered somnolent by the nun that beat hotly down on the canvaas, undisturbed, through the aural callousness born of ioiiff Hufleriug, by the hand that nwer ir«*d, the animals, in puris naturalibua and the "supc*" without, in uniformis unnaturalibus, drtmwkliway the afternoon bourn, and were apparroitly m-k-ICSH wbetlicr school ordrcuakeptor not. The big elephant threw ihowera of straw dvor iilM back and joggled down bis iiu-al of hay in an unwieldy stylo of niHKtimtion, faithfully imitated by the r"o smaller ones, who socmed to be siting on a match. The intemperate riiiiKx^roM pondered bin horns as ne lay fits liih bark and snooped lazily among he hav, nighing for another. The sidewhiHk'eml pigs ate something in a nian-

Tho llon-tainer waa (hen engaged in putting bin big-jawed, uglv pets through their pare* in the ring.

Yon want to know the bedroek businew« about lions, do you?" said ho an ho leaned againut the ropo encireling his leonine companions.

"I sdpnose that was only ono of many wounds? "Well, not so very man v.

I low iloyou train them?" "We trentgreen onus—those captured in Africa*-and tame ones born in menageries pretty much the same. Tho wild ones are better and safer. This is because a lion used to a cage, and to being poked and teased, is less afraid of you. I'd sooner handle ton green Hons than ono that's used to the public. Hosldes, the gnen ones have a great deal more play and spirit to 'em. We begin with hem when they're two'n half br three years hi. When I tirst got into a «ngc of uutame«l ones.

over him. They spoiled the trick, though ono morning in St. Louis, by eating him up. I put a leopard in the cage last Monday, but ho went for me and I accidentally killed him." •'How was that? 1 "You see, all we use Th the cage is a blacksnake or leather whip. In the butt of it there is from a half to three-quarters of a pound of lead. You can kill a lion with it if you hit him in the right place, between the care. The cage don't allow you to swing enough, though. I was putting the Little beast through, when he turned on me, and I hit him too hard and broke his skull. A fellow kills a good many accidentally. That she lion thatbitmyleg I killed a week afterward. I was springing her over stick and she fell ana broke ner back. "DJSCKTVIXA BROTHS."
Do they get np any aflbction for you?" "No, they ain't much on affection. They would go for me just as quick if I was outside the cage as they would anybody. They're deriving brutes and very quick. I recollect in Galveston one of the boys who was a little drunk swore they wouldn't hurt a fly, and went up to the cage. In a minute one of them, I don't know whether it was Frank or George, liad him, and his right shoulder and the right side of his head weren't worth much when they got him away. I've had only five accidents thatamouuted to anything. Once one of them clawed oflTniy shirt and most of the meat on ray chcst,"but my scratches arc mostly little ones."
In evidenco he showed a pair of hands that had evidently seen some very hard usage, liaving lieeh gashod in id! directions. "I'm like that all oyer," he said, simply.
WHBHKTUKV COUK FBOM. "Where do you got your lions?" "Good ones, as 1 told you,"aro hard to get. A good green lion, untamed, used to bo worth a thousand dollars. Now you can got 'em for six hundred. IS*ohad Oeorgo and Frank fen years. Ritchie, of New York, imports'em to tho Zoo and menagerlo men. Ho has catchers in different eountries and will get you most any animal you want. He keeps his big game at the New York Zoo, and runs a couple of wholesale houses down town for monkeys and birds."
FEEDING THEM.
"How do you feed 'em?" Once a day, always after the show. I give them 11 fteen pounds of raw beef apleco every. Sometimes I let them go four or five days without anything. It makes 'em hvoly. When they're on show we give 'eiii only ten pounds a day, and nover feed 'em on Sunday."
Feeding tiino had arrived, and the odor of raw boef stolo through the tent. If anything were needed to convince the non-zoological observer that tho avarage lion is an ugly kind of bug to play with, it was tboir demeanor then. Thev roared like mino blasts and sprang wildly and excitedly from side to side of the cage, as if they would shatter it to pieces. When tho hugo hunks of beef were reached them on a pole, they snatched them in a gleaming sort of insanity of hunger, and were as ugly lookiug as (hey lay down on their bellies, crunching* bone and tissue in thoir strong, yeliow teeth, and snarling jealously at tho passers-by, as one could wish.
WILLIAM'S WI FE.
A PIvl lAM Y-EY ED HEAUTY OK A POET'S FANCY.
The wife of William Morris, the poet, can ffive points to Mrs. Langtry, and the rest of tho professional boauties, if a correspondent of tho InteMX-ean is to Ik) trusted: "She is a mysterious, Egyptian looking woman, with great, strange, sad eyes, an oriontal complexion, burning scarlet lips, and tho expression of ineffable remoteness snd vagueness that one in imagination gives to the Xphinx. The vonng lady's face is just one of the inexpressibly melancholy ones that tho preKapluielites adore—just the type of vonng woman coming down tho'gulden* stairs'in Hume .Tone's picture at tho Orosvonor Gallery this year— and Morris married her. ot long ago this lady wore at an evening party a robe of the sheeriest, filmiest white muslin, tine enough to draw through a ring. The petticoat under it nmst liavo been tho same, for the folds of the rot to clung to her body and lintta as if cut there by tho finest chisel. At tho waist this thin robe was confined by a long, supple chain In the form of a serpent which, after writhing alxmt her body, dropped its jeweled head bv her left side, where its diamond eves glittered and burned like fire. liSgypUan bracelets and necklace adorned her arms and neck, and Egyptian masque gathered and held the folds of tho at the throat. Her black hair was one thick mass of short curls, and laid close down to her cits, and through it crept another golden eerpent, with jeweled scales and burning eyes. Ono would have said she was tHloopatra, who had turned her asps Into gold and jewels, and come to life to dasxlo a baroarian world." If tho undivine William is married to such a woman as this, one doesn't wonder that ho has stopped writing poetrv. With a crew who wears that style of dross, pett.„.^t and chain, life must be an eternal poem.

The only animals unaffected by the feed were the snakes, who in their glass cage, took no notice of the proceedings. Zingari, the snake charmer, otherwise Henry Porter, a colored boy, who drives the racing camol and makes himself generally useful^ stood by tho cage and was briefly queried. Ho said: "Deys two kinds: do bo-censtrlctors and do anniocondos fo' of each kind. Do Mjrgis ono Is sevonteen feet long, and do res' nearly as big. Is dey ugly?

WHAT A CLERGYMAN SAYS ABOUT THE VITALIZING rOWKit OF COMPOUND
OXYGEN.
A clergyman, Rev. W. B. Hines. of Waynesboro,' Miss., writing to the New Orleans Christian Advocate, ttays, referring to an advertisement of Compound Oxygen in that pa pen "Please allow me a few words of commendation. My wife being in feeble health, and having been so for many years, I persuaded her to use it, whicn she did. She began very soon to improve in stength and continued to improve, and passed through the unusually hot summer of 1878 and the fall, attending to all her domestic duties with more strength and less fatigue than she had done for ton years preceding then during the winter nursea the rick day and night, with more than usual loss of sleep and exposure and effort, and all without breaking down, which she could not done at any period during ten years past up to that time. In order to have some experimental knowledge of the effect of this Treatment. I |uaed it several times myself. In all my life I never used anything that produced so soon such a pleasant, healthful naturalness of condition. Grave a glow of youthful buoyancy by increasing the vital forces of mind and body. It gave a compass and power to my voice that it never had before." DRS.

STRANGE SENSATIONS. Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean. HATTLE CREEK, Mich., Oct.20.—A few days ago, as was stated in the Inter Ocean, Conductor A. S. Parker, of the Grand Trunk Railroad, who resides in this city, bv an accident lost a leg and an arm, at Stillwell station. The members savered from the body were left lying by the side of tho track, while tho bodv was immediately conveyed to South Bend for medical assistance. As soon as ho recovered consciousness, he began to complain that his right arm waa in a cramped condition. His attendants, knowing that his arm was many miles away by the side of tho railroad track, paid no attention to his complaints, thinking him out of his head. He still continued his assertions that tho fingers of his right arm were doubled under his hand, and asked his assistants to send and get his arm at Stillwell. By his speech they saw that he realized the accident, and a telegram was sent to Still-1 well to send the mutilated arm to its owner. The request was carried out, and tho arm sent to him by express. So soon as it was taken up off the ground, a few moments after the telegram was sent, Parker remarked to his assistants that his arm was all right now, that they had picked it up. Every time a person took hold of it along the routo Parker would speak of it. and cry with pain when it was roughly handled. When any of his attendants "touched it while it lay in tho next room to him he knew it as quickly as though tho arm was still attached to tho body. Tho messenger who got the arm said that he found it just as Parker had said it was, with tho fingers cramped under it.
This is one of tho most simular yet well-authenticated cases on record, whoroamati could feel sensation in an arm which was cut off and lay many miles away from him, and which had been cut off many hours. The physicians are battled to account for it, and can only class it under tho head of unoxplainal)lo phenomenal mysteries which are met with in tho study of nature.
A MORNING GALL.
A gentleman lately took down bveratim tho conversation of two fashionablo ladies during a morning call, viz:—"How do you do. dear?" "Pretty well, thank you." (They kiss.) "How have you been this ago?" "Pretty well. How have you been?" "Very well, thank you." "Ploasant to-day." "Yes, very bright but had a shower yesterday." "All your family quite well?" "Quite well, thanks. How is yours?" "Oh, very woll, thank you." "Have you seen Mary lately?*' "No, but I havo seen Susan C." "Vou don't say so! Is she quite well?" "Yes, very well, I believe." (Rising.) "Must you go?" "Yes, indeed I havo seven calls to make." "Do call again soonl" "Thank you but you don't come near mo once in an age."
DISA PPOINTED.
An agod miser, feeling unwell but grudging to pay'n doctor's foe, sees with pleasure a medical gentleman with whom he is acquainted advancing towards him on tho sidewalk. "How aro you?" exclaims the doctor, meeting him. "Well, I don't feel very well, doctor, says the miser fact,"! am quite out of'sorts. I have no appetite, my tongue is coated, I liavo pains in tho back and in the head," and so on. "Hum!" says the man of science that's pretty ljad!" "Wvhat would you advise me to do, doctor?" says the avaricious one, artfully. 'To consult a doctor, by all moans," says tho doctor, walking away.

Doctoring bi ought no relief, and I was finally advised togeabroarifand seek the climate of my youth, la Germany and Switzerland eminent physicians, after close examinations, declared my suffering* to arise from disease of the Kidneys, of long standing, and conld do me no good. I was, however benefited by the climate and consequently returned. No sooner bad I been back and resumed my pastoral work, when the old trouble grew again so intense as to make life a burden. A few months ago 1 came in possession of one of Day's Kidney Pads, put it on, and the effeots were truly wonderful. The pains at once grew lees, and are now, after wearing the Second Pad, entirely gone, and there can be no doubt that I aai entirely cured, as I write this some weeks after its u$e, and am strong and look the very picture of health.
