VOL. 11l
How to Frighten a Lion.
lie was out once lion shooting, says
an Eastern huuter, in Kattiwar. In
sofie parts of the districts, where it is
tolerably open, the spoilsmen used to
follow the game on horseback, ride up
within rang*, and then dismount to get
a shot, unless the beasts were steady
enough to stand tire trout their backs.
After the shot they quickly remounted
and gaHopped off. in fact, something
after the manner thatjbe African way
of conducting the sport is described.
On one occasion my friend hud turned
up two full growu lions, and was follow
ing them on the plain. He managed to
get within range, and os his horse would
not stand quiet euough for him to iire off
his back, jumped off and threw the
bridle over his arm; by lame chance,
however, omitting to slip his hand
through it. Well, he got a lair shot, and
hit one of the lions hard; but as the
noise startled the horse, and ns there
was nothing to check it, away it gal
loped, leaving my friend standing.
He fired the second barrel, and then
had the horror of seeing the wounded
lion come charging down toward him,
all head, tail and legs, and roaring tre
mendously. His ride was empty and
useless, and there was no time to load.
His first impulse was naturally to bolt
as hard as lie could, and, accordingly,
a why he stumped for the nearest tree.
But long before he could reach it the
roars came closer and closer behind
him, and he felt that he had not the
slightest chance ot reaching the tree be
fore being overtaken by that angry beast.
Still he sped on with the instinct of sell
preservation, but the iion was fast clos
ing with him. What could he do?
There was no time to be lost. In a few
more bounds his head might be crushed
in by the blow ot a paw,or his mangled
limbs be quivering in the animal's re
lentless jaws.
It suddenly occurred to him to try and
startle the beast by some unusual com
bination of form and sounds. His re
solve was immediately taken and acted
upon without delay. Stopping short
suddenly in his race, with his back still
toward the lion, and now drawing very
close, he ducked his head and body
until he looked at it reversedly from
between his legs, and in that position
made some of the most appalling yells,
and at the same time gesticulated wildly
with his arms.
There was a metamorphosis for which
the savage beast was quite unprepared.
Just before there had been a runaway
man legging it as hard as he could go
in front; but now there was a fearful,
shapeless creature, stationery and un
yielding, and howling in the most awful
way, quite beyond all lion experience.
The brute was staggered, and hesitated
in his headlong career ; then pulled up
aud looked, advanced a step, and looked
more closely : heard a frantic yell of
extra power—the last despairing effort
of the hunter; turned, and with lowered
tail trotted off to join his companions,
now disappearing in the distance.
After a short space, my triend arose,
almost purple in the face from the vio
lence of his exertions, and the unpleas
antly low position of his head, but much
gratified, and chuckled greatly at the
success of his ingenious ruse.
The Lahou Needed.—The following
remarks upon immigration by the
Selmn, Ala., Messenger, accord with the
views urged in this paper, and we ear
nestly commend them to the considera
tion of our readers. The subject is one
which involves the future prosperity of
the South in a higher degree than any
that can be presented to our people:
In considering the question of labor
it is proper to remember what kind of
labor we need. We do not want the
floating labor population of Europe, for
our own floating labor is being drawn
from us by the offer of higher wages and
the temptation of richer lands else
where; and the same causes that con
trol our present domestic labor would
similarly effect foreign labor of the same
grade. We want skilled workers in all
the mechanic arts, and in mining and
manufacturing, and wo want, most of
all, the ele.ss known in Europe as small
farmers, who are accustomed to agri
culture, who have in their own families
the labor to carry ou their farming
operations, who will bring with them, in
many instances, the means to stock
small farms, and in some cases to pur
chase them, who would establish homes
and build up industry, and who would
not detract from tae moral health of the
country while adding to its wealth. The
small farmers are paying higher yearly
rents in Europe than would serve to
purchase the same quantity of lands in
Alabama, and under the stimulus ot the
universal desire to rise from tire position
of laborers io that of tenants, and from
tenants to proprietors, they would be
glad to settle among us if authoritative
and satisfactory information were given
them tor their guidance.
—The Boston blacksmiths, in shoeing
horses that itre used on the pavement,
piace a cushion of rubber between the
shoe and the horse’s hoof, with good re
sults. The philosophy is that the yield
ing of the rubber tends to diminish the
jar, which destroys the horse's legs.
—The import trade of San Francisco
last year, was fourteen millions, an
increase of over three and a half mil
lions. The exports amount to seven
teen and a quarter millions, an increase
of nearly three millions.
—Miss Ann P. Cunningham, regent
