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 of the Ladies’ Mount Vernon Associa- tion, has made a report, showing the receipts to date to he about $200,000, of which Edward Everett raised SOB,OOO. The purchase lias been com pleted, and $24,000 spent in repairs. —ln New York City, William B, Astor pays taxes on $2,250,000 ; A. T. Stewart & Cos. on $2,000,000; Jatnes Lennox on $1,500,000 j and James brown on $1,000,000. a Poor fellows! This does not include Dank stock and some other items. —A St. Louis blacksmith has made, for the Paris Exposition, two setts of horse shoes and a quantity of horseshoe nails jroin Iron Mountain ore, without smelt mg. Accompanying them is u half finished shoe, the unfinished part show ing the unwrought ore. —Rev. Henry Boehn, the oldest living preacher in tho Methodist Epis copal Church, aged ninety two years, preached on a recent Sunday morning Y '\- 6 n Street Church, New to a congregation.
