Experiences of an American Natu
ralist.
Mr. W. fl. Drummond line written n
book narrntinf? hi* fxperiouces as b
hunter in southeastern Africn, Apart
from the graphic are Hints of the btif
flo, rhioocoros, and lion fights, the re
marks upon the natural history of the
land, so full of mighty and terrible
leasts, are extremely interesting. The
eliapter upon lions is full of thrilling
battles, but eontains nothing better
than this passage, one of the few in
whieli Mr. Drummond appears rather
aa a naturalist than an exterminator :
“ I’erhnpH the most beautiful sight
that I ever saw in connection with them
was on a morning when I had gone out
to hunt with one bearer at dawn. I had
not gone far from oamp, and, most
carelesaly, my Rnn was still unloaded
while T was examining some buff do
spoor, when, on looking up, I saw raj
gun bearer, who had my cartridges,
running away at full spi ed. Knowing
that ho must have seen something to
frighten him so, I did not shout, but
went to where ho ha I been standing, a
few yards ahead, and there, sure i liougli,
not twenty yards abend, wero a pair of
lions ; they were both full grown, and
the male had an immense mane, and
they formed altogether as handsome a
pair as I ever saw. The lioness was
rolling on her back, play:ally striking
out nt her lord and master with Imr
forepaws like a kitten, while he stood
grnvelv and majeatic.vlly looking on. I
stopped a moment to watch them,
though the ground was quite open, and
they must have seen me if they had
looked round, and then 1 rnsbeil off
after my Kaffir to load. The position
they wero in was good, and I might have
killed one to a certainty, if not both;
but when 1 had succeeded in getting
him down from the t, p of a big tree and
went back, they had gone. I suppoat
they must hnve got our wind. No
doubt they hadffnw'ti hunting all night,
and had been down to the river to drink
preparatory to going to bed.
“I once am) the pleasure of, nriob
served myiolf, watching a lion family
feeding, I was encamped on the Black
Umfolosi, Zulnland, and toward even
ing, expecting a friend, I went out to
meet him, and instea I of taking a
gun, which T should have done nine
ty nine times out of a hundred, 1
only lonk one of the Kaffirs' spears,
not intending to go beyond a couple
of hundred vards However, not
meeting my friend, i went on, ami at
about half a mile from camp 1 saw a
herd of zebras galloping across me, and
when they were nearly two hundred
yards off, 1 saw a yellow body flash to
ward the leader, and I saw him fall bo
lionth the lion’s weight. There was a
tall tree about sixty yards from the
plaoe, and auxious to see what went on,
I stalked up to it, while the lion was
still too much occupied to look about
him, and climbed up. He had by this
time quite killed the beantifelly strip* and
animal, but instead of proceodini to eat
it, he got up and roared vigorously,
until there was an answer, anil in a few
miimtoH a lioness, accompanied by four
whelps, came trotting up from tho same
direction as the zebra, where no doubt
she had been to drive toward her Ims
band. They formed a title picture as
they all stood mound the carcass, the
whelps tearing and biting at it, but uu
able to get, through the tough skin.
Then the lion lav down, and the lion
ess, driving her offspring before her,
hid the same four or live yards off, upon
which he got up, uud eommeuoigg to
eat, had soon thiished a hind leg, re
tiring a few yards upon one side as soon
as he had douo so. The lioness came
up next and tore the carcass to shreds,
bolting huge mouthfuls, but not ob
jecting to the whelps eating as much ns
as they could find. There was a
good deal of snarling and quarreling
among these young lions, and occasion*
ally a staud up light, for u minute, but
their mother did not tske any notice of
them, except to give them a smart blow
with her paw if they got in her way.
At last one of the whelps, having prob
ably eaten as much as it could gorge,
began to wander about and in a few
minutes cauic my way. Seeing it so
near, the idea of catching it entered my
head, and descending to the loner
branch, I waited till it came underneath
and dropped down over it seizing it
with both hands ; but I had counted
without, my host; the little lieast snarle I
and hit and tore at my hare arms in
such a fashion that I was glad to (ling it
away and fouttle up the tree again as
fast as 1 could out of the way of the
enraged mother, who was coming down
at fell gallop, her tail carried out
straight behind, and looking the vi rv
personification of fury. She rushed
right against the tree in her blind fury,
and then running up, glared at me ami
roared terribly I might easily enough
have scut my spear into her; bu ns
there was not the faintest chance of its
killing her, and it would answer no use
ful purpose, I refrained and watched her
instead as she flew at her offspring,
and drove it, yelling at her rough
treatment, toward the others. There
was now left, of the zebra but a few bones,
which hundreds of vultures were cir
cling ronud wanting to pick, while
alrno-t an equal number hopped nwk
wardly oil the ground within fifty or
sistv yards of it ; aud the whole lion
familv walked quietly away, the lioness
leading, and (liebon, ofien turning his
head to see that limy were not followed,
bringing tip the r> nr."
With the exeeplion of crocodiles,
lions are the only mau talers. Mr.
Drummond says there are no man int
ing leopards. Hyenas are sometimes
kn wu to kill children, but the authi r
asserts that he knows of no well authen
ticated instauee of any but tho so calle i
king of blasts makiu, human beings
his le or chief source of food. He
does not believe what has been written
concerning their craving for human
blood alter once tasting it. Xjious have
some slight instinctive fear of human
beings, so that they do not touch men
as long as they are able to provide
t K-mselves with tlieir nsnal food. It is
city when they become unable from
Wounds and sickness to catch other
game that they learn to beman eateis.
Having once found out with hoir tit tie
danger an 1 diflflcnlty natives may be
killed, they do not unlearn their Anowl
edge. Mr. Drummond's lion is in cour
age and nobility mnoh nearer the eon
ventional lion of literature than that
described by some other travelers, Dr
Livingstone, for instauee. He is here
shown to ha a terrible beast. Mr.
Drummond says that a lion will seldom
stand much bullying. Ho may often
get ont of tlm way. may even leave Vis
prey if you approach it, and should you
follow him may perhaps do so a secon 1
time, but this i- the extent of it. He
appears to bo arguing; “I’ve retired
twice, and here you are at mo again ;
well, if you must, have it, come nearer if
von dare.” If a male, ho then growls
deeply, and bristles his mane; or if a
lioness, si c crouches <lon like a cat,
lays lmek her ears, and showa her teeth;
in such eases a ehnrge is aliuast iuevit
able, whetl er yon advance or rolire.
The hunter, in approaching an angry
lion, should he careful not to kneel, us
tho brute will rarely permit this. As
they kneel themselves when about to
spring, they regard it as a challenge.
Concerning the ronr, Mr. Drummond
hail the experience of niunv people
when they first see Niagara Falls—he
was a little disappointed. But it grew
on him. Tliongh it does not resemble
thunder or anything of the kind, a little
acquaintance with the brute taught him
to consider it a very awe-inspiring
sound. Dions coming from different
directions will often kmp it up for half
an hour. In tho clear atmosphere of
the tropics it can be heard a great dis
tance. Mr. Drummond has heard it a 1
a distanoa of two milop.
The Hot Springs.
There is great activity of expectation
at. least,, amongst the inhabitants of Hot
Springs, Ark. The supreme vmrt lms
decided that the property belongs t -
1 the United Htates aud not to any of the
numerous elaimers anil squatters on the
premises. It, is expected, therefore,
that the government will appropriate
money to put, the place in charge of tin.
military, sweep and garnish it, and per
Imps clear out the faro gamblers, who
are legion there. Judging from t.li<•
eminence of many visitors, such ns
Senator Morton, lion. John Morr ssey,
Gen. Hooker aud others who have
orosaod the continent to get, relief at the
springs, and have revisited them in
many eases, there must be more i Ifieaov
in tho Hot Springs than in most, of the
puddles and schemes that are ndvor
t.isod. There are fifty-seven springs
whose united supply could bathe 20,000
persons daily, allowing twenty five
gallons to encli. There a>-e also a num
ber of mud baths where the poorer
people lie like pigs in a puddle, often
coven il with horrible ulcers. The water
is hot enough to cook eggs in a quarter
of an hour, with minuows, sun fldi.
suckers anil bass. The springs are
more than 1,900 feet above the sea;
they fall in a brook twenty or thirty
feet wide, and Hie mouii ain from which
they emanate ia a part of the Ozark
system of Missouri and Indian Terri
lory, Iho Indians used them for
syphilitic, paralytic uud rheumatic
complaints, and still return occasionally
to get r ,1 of the white man’s ailments.
There appears to be no particular value
in the water, hut the force of the stream
directed upon the Isidy expels noxious
piinoqrles through the p n s, stimulates
the circulation aud arousoi the t. lie of
the system. It is tweuly-one miles from
Hot Springs to the near st railroad
station, Malvern. “No one canoome to
Hoi, Springs without, receiving a good
moral lesson. Parents would do well to
send their wild tioyH to this school. If
they would n it. learn wisdom here, there
is but little hope of preventing the sew
ing of their wild oats."
How Ho Caught Them
Borne years ngo, uu eccentric g-mins,
the Rev Tliomss I*. Hunt., used to give
temperance lectures. One night, lie an
nounced that ho would lecture m E-iston.
Now, tempi rauee was nut in favor
among the male portion of the lmnr.
The w uiien, boa ever, were all in fer the
pledge, and consequently, on Hunt’s
first night not a man showed himseif in
the hall. The benches were pretty well
filled- with women, though, and Hunt
commenced; hut, instead of temperauce,
he put them through on t.ho vanities of
dress, etc. They wore great puffed
feather sleeves then. They thesleoves
caught it, then Un ir tight lulling, and
so on through the whole catalogue if
female follies; nor. a word about temper
ance. And the Indies went homo hop
ping mad, told their husband* about it,
and voted old Hunt down to the lowest
notch.
He had amiounoed that he would lec
turo at the same place the next night.
Long before the time appointed they
commenced to oome. and when H int
hobbled down 'lie aisle tho tmildi. g was
comfortably well filled with men. The
old fellow looked about, chuckled, and
muttered : “ Hogs, I've got you now !”
Th" audiono ■ stared, “Aha, hogs, I've
got yon now!"
Alter tbo crowd had got, quiet a little,
the lecturer said: “Friends, you
wanted to know what I meant liy pay
mg, lings, I've got you now, and I'll to I
you. Out west the In gi run wild ; and
when folks get out of meat they oitch a
young pig, put a strap under his body,
m il hitch him to a young sapling that
will j i.nt swing him from the gronud
nicely. Of coarse he squeals and raises
a rumpus, when nil the old hogs gather
round to toe what is the matter, ana
then they shoot them at their leisure.
Last night 1 hung a pig up ; I hurt it a
little, aud it squealed. The old hogs
have turned out to night to see I lie Liu,
anil I’ll roast you " And so he did,
pitching into their favorite vice with
relish and gusto.
Our National Vice.
The average American spits, it is
said, just as the average crow caws,
aud, although the people aim so boast
fully at excelling in brain culture, there
seems to lie In -hing, thus fur, the moral
and social cultivation necessary to
shake off tins filthy habit, which is
scarcely short of u national vice. In no
other country, civilized or barbarous,
would lO'icos rtquestiug men “not to
spit, out of respect for the ladies," bo

in t.o country wonl 1 this modest, rea

Salt Raising Bread.- A contributor
to tha St. Charles Cosmos writes: “Tim
night before you wish to make bread,
boll one-half pint of milk ; put one tn
bh spoon'll! of corn meal iuto a pitcher
or bowl, and turn the boiling milk over
it, stirring well; lot it stand until morn
ing, then add sufficient warm water to
this batter to make it ‘hike-warm ;’ tin n
put in a pinch of salt, the same of
sugar, and thicken with flour to the
consistency of good batter; set the
piu'ln r or bowl into a kettle of warm
water, not hot enough to scald, and aim
to maintain the same temperature by
keeping it on the stove-hearth ; when it
has been risen to top of pitcher, make
your sponge in a large pan of flour,
with two pints or more of warm water
(part milk is better) ; then stir tho
rising in, first adding a tablespoon ful or
more of salt ; let it rise, then mold into
loaves ; do not mold so stiff as yeast
bread. By closely following these di
rections, I will guarantee good bread.
In summer 1 have my rising up by 8
o'clock ; in cold weather it requires
more time for fermentation.”

with in profusion in ail the swamps and

to water it profusely once a day. It

lor the moss will blanch and die. In the
i center of this a clump of large azure
violets should bo placed, adding some
| curious lichens and pretty fungus growth
; from the barks of forest trees, aud a
I few cones, shells, and pebbles.
A correspondent of the I’raotical

uu early period in growth much more la
bor will be required to cure it thoroughly
■ than if the crop were not out until the

chromium, niid many others, are equally
applicable for this purpose, if. greater

these ornaments in all their beauty they
sbonld be kept under glass shades. All
the salts named are more soluble in hot

Hopeful Look at the Business Future.
There arc those who oontend, and not
unreasonably, that the country is not
in a better condition now than it has
been for many months ; that trade is
dull ; a long, hot summer is before ns,
and there is nothing especially euoour
ag ng in our present commercial sur
roundings. This view may be partially
true, but it is offset by so many practical
obits that the wftjfiht of testimony is in
favor of the clasNwlio look upon the fu
ture hopefully.
1. The most encouraging reports
have been received concerning the crops
in all portions of the country. Cotton
is in a line condition ; wheat ami corn
arc flourishing ; the fruit and vegetable
crops are unusually abundant; sugar
aud rice are said to ho looking well,
and there is a prospect of a good mar
ket abroad. Under such promising
conditions the country will surely not
go backward. With good crops there
should be a general business revival.
2. The price of labor is being grad
ually reduced, thus enabling the man
ufacturer, to supply his products at
lower rates. Cheap food aud cheap
manufactures lesson the cost of living
and thus solve one of the disturbing
problems of the day ; for by the equal
ization of the earning and producing
powers a cause of discontent, is removed.
:i Money is abundant—too abuud
aut, iu fact—and too much confined to
the financial centers. But we have
p owed through the worst of our dan
gers, and, although confidence is a
plant of slow growth, wheu it blooms
again it will be to give a vitality to new
enterprises, pnt in active use out idle
capital, encourage investment in what
ever is cheap and p- ssibly fruitful, and
so start the country afresh upon its
forward march.— N. Y. lb raid.
A Distressing Scene.^
The Patterson papers tell the follow-
I ing distressing story : Mrs. Post, wife
of Thomas V. R. Post, residing on the
F.rie railway, near Ridgewood, sent her
children to the store, about half a mile
distant, on an errand. They wero so
long absent that she feared they would
he late for school, ard accordingly
taking her youngest—a little boy of less
than two years—along I with her, she
started out to look for “i-a and found
them. They u 4 e...-. L. ■ tl^
store or else havjtig forgotten something
she concluded to go herself and send
them on to school. She left the little
one behind, and started, not tadqnding
to be long gone. Upon returning some
half an hour later she observed as she
nearel the track express train No. 12
come thundering along at the rate of a
mile a miuute, it being two hours be
hind lime. She also saw her child
sitting, carelessly tossing tip the sand,
directly between the tracks aqjl in the
way of the incoming train. She rushes
forward aud wild with affright almost
precipitate 1 her own body beneath the
iron wlieels. So near was she that the
locomotive struck her hands in pa sing,
as she held them forth in her agonized
attempt, to do something for her child.
L'lie train passed and the little one was
discovered with its head completely
severed from its body—iu fact, eye
witnesses aver that tho child’s head
rolled ou one side as the body fell on
the other. The mother is said to have
become a maniac.

Flint and Potash in Plants.— They
have many experimental farms, gardens
and orchards in Germany, to which we
are in the habit of looking for new facts
in agrioultnreand horticulture. An ex
pert says : “ Divest the soil of all silica
(flint) anil alkali were useful plants and
beautiful flowers are to be grown, and
not one would attain to perfect develop
ment, simply because silica and potash
are essential to impart stiff
ness to the stems and elasticity and
tenacity to the leaves. When grape
vines, fox example, which are growing
in a sandy soil, have access to potash P
abundance, the leaves will appear as
tough as leather, and no mildew or rust
will ever affect the foilage. ”
Trip. New Panacea.— -Modem scienoe
having demonstrated tiiat alcohol is
“neither food nor physic,” but, on the
contrary, a species of poison, the intro
duction of a potent tonic which is en
tirely free from it is certainly a subject
for congratulation. Dr. Walker's Viue
gar Bitters is a medicine which may be
fairly characterized as an unobjection
able specific for many distressing and
dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore
iu favor of permitting the sale of alco
hol for medical purposes, are of opinion
that Vinegar Bitters possesses all the
efficacy as an invigorant that has ever
been even claimed for spirituous stimu
lants, and on this account, as well as
because of the singular sucoess which
lias attended its use in dyspepsia, liver
complaint, disorders of the bowels, ner
vous diseases, general debility, and all
maladie growing out of iutemperance,
they warmly recommend it as a restora
tive aud alteiativo of surpassing excel
lence.
Wb copy the following from an ex
clmime, which is important, if true : (Ibronic
