An Eagle in the Storm.— In the days of 

 long ago, when men recognized divinities in 

 the elements, and the warringa of nature were 

 the struggles of contending gods, such an in 

 cident as this would have afforded a subject 

 for a poetical myth : 



During the storm yesterday afternoon, resi- 

 dents tu the northeastern part ot the city wit- 

 nessed an inspiring sight. The wind was 

 high, and increasing from the northwest, and 

 a large black eagle, estimated to measure at 

 least six feet from tip to tip of his wings, flew 

 down with great rapidity toward the lake 

 shore. He evidently sought to recover him- 

 self, and attempted to beat back against the 

 gale of wind in which he had been caught. 

 Observers were of the opinion that a powerful 

 cyclone was passing in mid air to the south- 

 east, and that he had been caught in its vor- 

 tex, from which he found it impossible to es- 

 cape. He often would rise as if to make a 

 perpendicular ascent, then would swoop to 

 the right or left, and in one instance dove di- 

 rectly downward, but by each effort appeared 

 to find it impossible to extricate himself from 

 the current on which he was borne. In this 

 struggle between the gallant bird and the 

 upper air tornado in which he had been en- 

 tangled both passed out over the lake near 

 the head of Division street. 



Squirrels at the Hub. — A bushy tail ) 

 flirting about among the branches of the oaks, 

 is a feature of landscape gardening which ap- 

 pealed to the ajsthetic tastes of the Boston 

 Highlander. A colony of red and gray 

 squirrels ha*e been protected by the resi- 

 dents, and they were carefully provided with 

 food. But the squirrels have been turning 

 their attention to the fruit, and, according to 

 the Boston Traveler, one of them actually 

 opened and picked the seeds from seventy- 

 four Seckle pears in a single morning, throw- 

 ing the rest of the fruit away. Becoming a 

 question whether the squirrels or the pear 

 crop should be made extinct, it was decided 

 to exterminate the former, and a lively war- 

 fare with powder and shot is going on. It is 

 reported that the pear orchard of Mr. Samuel 

 R. Payson, at Belmont, has been invested 

 and seriously damaged by squirrels for some 

 time, and that three men are employed solely 

 as executioners. Mr. Payson says that the 

 squirrels only touch the sweet pears. The 

 gray squirrels are very fond of peaches, and 

 will attack the red side, eat a piece the size 

 of a filbert, and then leave the peach to de- 

 cay. Grapes are also attacked and pieces 

 bitten therefrom. 



Zoological Scrgerev. — A monkey at the 

 Alexandra Palace was suffering from tooth- 

 ache, so they put him into a bag whence only 

 his head protruded, and handed him over to 

 the dentist- Pug screamed and snapped and 

 threatened to be very troublesome, but when 

 the dentist managed to get his hand on the 

 abscess and gave relief, the monkey's de- 

 meanor changed entirely. He laid his head 

 down quietly' for examination, and without 

 the use of the gas submitted to the removal 

 of a stump and a tooth as quietly as possible. 

 A large bear at the Berlin Zoo had become 

 blind through cataract on both eyes. They 

 strapped him up, chloroformed him, had him 

 treated by an oculist, and when next he was 

 allowed to come into the light and noticed 

 that he could see clearly, the great brute 

 winked and capered in ecstacy. 



— "I'm a tough cuss from Bitter Creek," 

 is the expression employed by the Plains des- 

 perado to inform everybody that he is "on 

 the fight." Further east the corresponding 

 member of society says, "I'm a wolf, and 

 this is my time to howl." In Kentucky he 

 says, "I'm a yard wide, and all wool."
