Bn-Sru- d tq The Tribune is si most ashamed to bring forward another jaguar, says that excellent ard highly trnstworthy journal, the New York Tribune, founded by Horace Greeley. We have so many times announced the killing of positively the Inst of tho race, continues the Tribune, that we hate to acknowledge tho appeal mice of another. Hut individual humiliation must not be allowed to stand in the way of truth, so wo frooly admit that another juguar, perhaps the largcat ever seen, was killed u few day ago in Arkansas. In the northwestern part of Arkant sas, about half way between Home, Washington comity, and Hub-ison's Crosi-Ikoad- s, llenton county, lives a woman named Mrs. Martha iaiuthors, mure generally known ai thu Widow I.cathcrs, She is u lady of somo three-scor- e yo irs and ten, and she has lived alone fur the last twenty years in a wild neighborhood, several miles from the nearest house. About ten days ago she was awukciiei one night by u strange noi-- e on tho run'. Hastily dressing, site stepped out of tlio ono door of tlio cabin und looked ii)- - What was her horror to see in tbo bright moonlight nil immense juguar alternately scratching at the shingles and gnawing at the corner ot thu chimney, and occasionally striking the roof violently wilh his tail mid making a loud report Tho widow looked only a moment, when sho quickly went buck iu and bolted tho door. Siie hud no weujions pf any kind. Tho night was bitter cold, and it occurred to her that the beast had probably sought tho chimney fur warmth, and thut if she built a good fire and got it thoroughly warniod through, it would iierhaps go away. Mu soon lmd u roaring lira leaping up tho chimney from the big stone As sbe expected, ibis pleased tho juguar, und ho reused scratching and gnawing and begun to purr, makwhen it ing a sound like a buzz-sastrikes a knot, and to wag Lis lull ou tlm shingles with a noise which resembled distant thunder, if tho firs got a littlo low ho would slup his tail on tbo root angrily throe or four times with such force that it slioik tlio Sw'i-i.-- ll o. w house. As it grew light the widow crept out of the door and again surveyed tho situation. The jaguar wus sitting up on his buunrhes contentedly purring and warming his foropaws over the top of tlm chlmnoy. Sho did not look long, fearing that bo would seu her. but went back, und, tlio jaguar jioundiug the roof with his tail for mere (ire, site piled on a dozen more sticks of wood. She thought that tho beast would ceiv tainly leave nt sunrise, but it did noh It merely leaped down and got ono of her pigs und returned to the roof, whore it devoured tho pig nndlieatfur inure fire. This kept up for four days, two pigs being sacrificed each duy, mid an immeiicnumountof firewood. Sometimes tlio jiiguur would sleep for an hour or so, bnt would always wuke up cold and begin pounding on the roof. On tho morning of the fifth day tho widow Leather decided that something must bu done. It was growing monotonous. Such a tiling would grow monotonous even here in New York. We should bate to have a jaguar on the of roof the Tribune building, gnawing at the tower and pulverizing the slate shingles with bis tail to inform the janitor that his feet were cold. At 9 o'clock on tho fifth day Mrs. Leathers wont into the loft with a three-inc- h augur. Selecting a time wheu tho jaguar was purring his loudest, ahe bored a liolo iu tlm roof about n foot and a half behind where sho calculated ho sat Her judgment was good, and when alio looked up through the hole she could rco his tail wagging backward and forwnril across it. Henching out with oiio hnud she seized his lull und drew about two foot of it down through the hole. the beast knew what was going on she tied a knot in the tail, so that it could not lie withdrawn. Then, whilo tho jaguar wrilhed his bol.v about and uttered the most terriblo cries ever heard in Northwestern Arkansas, sho walked tbreo miles through tho woods to Hen Hawkin' place and got him to come over nnd shoot tho animal, after which she untied the knot in his tall und allowed it lo roll to the ground. It weighed six hundred and fifty pounds. The reader will olwcrve that tin circumstances surrounding tho killing of the Widow Leathers' jaguar are all novel. The case is also important from the fact that it proves Hint a woman docs not necessarily need t? he young to help on tho extermination of this beast. True, a young woman like Paulino Collier, or Maude Flames, or Susan llandficld, or Margaret iisx-pawould, no doubt, have twisted off tho animal's tail, nnd tlion gone out and fractured his skull with it, but, while this would have given the affair more cciaL It would not have increased the jaguar mortality any, which after nil, seems to be the great thing doslrcd.

To this cydo was added a complement of thirteen days, intended to mako tho solar and civil years agree. It wus believed that the world would rente to un end on tho last night of u cycle, and that the gods, if merciful, would light their fire on the distant mountaiua If the world did not como to aa end, the Aztecs congratulated themselves that il would survive another ryclo. and the thirteen complementary days were passed with feasts, sacrifices and bacuhanula In the temple of lluilzllipochtll there was to be a gladiatorial combat, which wus nothing less than a sacrifice. The six minister of the ceremony were at hand.

The flat nostrils ot the victim aro distended, hit black eyes hum with desperation; his coarse, black hair struggles about ills faca and his thick, purple lips quiver us bo views tlio well armed soldier before him. At a word they fall to tho fruy. Tbo spears clash and they fight like demons tlie victim with tho desperation of certain death, the soldier to uphold his valor among his comrades. Suddenly realizing how unequal the contest und thnt his fate is sealed whatever the outcome of that buttle, the prisoner throws away his shield and speur and present liis breast to the soldier's weapon.

Then the bleeding tropliy is placed in the hollow mouth of the idol of and the lips of tho statue daubed with blood.

Tho rest of the family did not seem to know she existed. Captain Wood inquired about her. and learned that she was widow.
