of tJlood which was streaming from Maccarte
incited tl' other animals,and their savage in-
stinct was awakened. A third lion ~ an Ab-
yssiau one—seized him by the ribs, and then
a five year old lion, and an^espccial favorite
of tho lion-tamer, caught him by the head;
literally soalpingliim, the flesh hanging down
his neck. The treacherous favorite had n
sooner accomplished this work than lie re-
turned quietly to his corner.
The deadly struggle progressed, «LiI Mr. Birch-
al), who had from the first been most active, plaoed
iron scrapers in the fire to beat them. Pistols and
gunB were discharged, but they, unfortunately,
were only loaded with blank cartridge, au<l the
biazlsg of gunpowder failed to drive the animals
from their quarry. Meanwhile the irons were
heated, an iron shutter to separate the animals in
the cage, when an opportunity offered, was in read-
iness,and Mr. Birohnll and an assistant suoceadod in

time scented and tasted the blood which streamed
out of the carriage, added his fangs to those which
had already played suoh havoo with the human form

mals, being driven away wit h hot irons, were sep-

by the shoulder was driven in a corner. The shut-

others, when ivfonrith infuratcd beast seized him
just above the boot and dragged him in again among
them. Then the frightful work went on agdn for a
few sicKoniag anddiorrifying moments. Hot irons

The news which was published in the papers of
yesterday morning, ot the shooting of Jim Fisk by
the paramour of his former mistress, was a subieo*
of general comment yesterday. It was the more
talked of from the fact that the Mansfield family
have been well known in California. In 1854 Jo-
seph Mansfield was the editor of the San Joaquin
Republican lie was a man who had the respect
and confidence of the community. He was shot by u
man named John Tabor, the editor of the Stockton
Journal, the difficulty growing out. of some newspa-
per trouble. At that time the Mansfield family re-
sided in Boston. Subsequently, Mrs. Mansfield mar-
ried a man named Warren, a citizen of California,
and the family, including the daughter, Helen Jose-
phine, oame to San Francisco and resided for some
years on Sutter street. Helen Boon became known
as a girl without reputatio n, and acquired a charac-
ter for blaokmailing. In 1868 or 1864, she married
Frank Lawler, the actor, and they moved to New
York, where she abandoned her husband, or he
abandoned her, and she became more famous than
ever as the mistress of the famous Jim Fisk. She
gained a strong hold on his affections, and for a long
time held the strings of his purse. Among those
who know of her attempts to blackmail in this city
her disagreement with Fiak is regarded merely as
an attempt to blackmail him. It was frequently re*
marked yesterday in such circles,that the probabil.
ity is that sho did blackmail him t) a considerable
extent, and until he found that the more he yielded)
the more she demanded. The recent sensation of
the Fisk-Mansfield suit, was the occasion o f the
New York papers adding all theyconld to the inter-
est of the sensation, by describing her beauty in
..jg terms. 8h> ■ nQwn here as a woman of

Olive OIL

thinks it safe to couut on a net nnuual

acre from an olive orchard ten years old,
and that the cultivation of the tree would
bo profitable for fuel, so rapid is its
growth. Ho thus cuinmunicates some oi
