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 called for, ami t-> our shame be it said, in t.o country wonl 1 this modest, rea sonable request be so persistently dis regarded. Nor is the ono eating prao t-ioe confine I to 0 million, youths a-sert ing manly freedom. bfßNneu old enough to have to pay for -.fhfch and dresses are guilty ol an equal disivianl for others’ rights and feelings. KTfiv,im'iu who uses to any extent public o 'Uveyauces can recall baviug her clothing soiled—, and every man of decent habits wfiii lias boon sickened by the t xpeotora tiou he has boon unable to escape. The right of man to spit iu i ibV. convey ance or building, ai tin • xpense of oihtrs' clothing, fudiugs, and comfort, is no grea or than his right to perform any other dirty trick- USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

Si’iKirs of turpentine poured ii|sin sen! corn before planting, and t or onglily mixed by stirring, so that all the seeds shall he impregnated with it, is a spec tic for the terrible ravages of the cut-worm. Put one quart of tur pontine to a bushel of corn, or in that proportion, which is sufficient, anil c an comes up two or three and >ys quicker when thus treated. Besides the scent of tho turpentine, which can be, detected several weeks after the planting, aids much in keeping crows at a distance.

I*, is, we think, about the best substitute for green food, gives a soft and glossy coat, an elastic step and fine spirits. We do not think the yellow, or Swedish, turnip is appreciated as it ought to be, as a food for horses. Fish Cakes. —Take codfish, either fresh or salt, that has been boiled tin day before. Carefully remove the bones and mince the fish. Mix with a quantity of mailn-d potatoes, mashed with butter and milk in the proportion of one-third codfish anil two-thirils inashed potatoes. Add sufficient beaten oggs to make the whole into a smooth paste. Season with cayenne, and if the mixture aeema dry, moisten and enrich it with a little butt. r. Make it into cakes about an inch thick and as large round as the top of a eommou siztU teacup, or into round balls. Sprinkle them well with flour. Fry them in lard or beef dripping. When one Hide is douo tyru them over. If approved, yon may add to the mixture two or three onions boiled and minced, Aliy large codfish may be dressed in this manner for next morning’s break fast 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.” A iiRArTiKi i- ornament, for the sitting room can he made hy covering a com mon tumbler with moss, the latter fas tened i-i plooe 1-y sowing cotton wound rouud. then glue dried moss upon a saucer, into which set the tumbler, lilling it and tho remaining space in the saucer with loose earth from the woods. V'laut. tin former with a variety or ferns, mill the latter with wood violets. On the edge of the grass also plant some of the nameless tittle evergreen vine, which bears rod (scarlet) berries, aud wnpie dark, glossy, ivv like foliage will trail over the fresh blue and white of the violets with beautiful efl'.ct An Otht r good plan is to til! a rather deep plate with some of tho nameless but beautiful silvery aud lignt green and delicate pink mosses, which are met with in profusion in ail the swamps and marshes. This can be kept fresh and beautiful ns long s it is not neglected to water it profusely once a day. It ! must, of course, be placed in the shade, 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 | Farmer says: “ When grass is mowed at 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 blossoms are beginning to fall to the ground. Nevertheless, the hay urade of early cut griv-s will make far better fod der, aud a given quantity, wheu- fed to stock, will yield more milk, more wool. , and more flesh,jnus<fle, and fat than the ' same area of grass if allowed to become fully ripe before the crop is mowed. On the contrary, ripe and dry hay with coarse weeds among it, will go farther I iu keeping stock alive than hay made of young and tender grass ; but the stock ill us kept will depreciate amazingly iu condition, while supplied with such in ferior fod-.IClr. df one nas a meadow where there is a large quantity of coarse grass and only a few feeds, it will be far better iu every respect to mow the crop early. In some instances, parts of a meadow may be mo "Aid three times during tho season. If one has bog meadows, the oftener the herbage can be mowed the sooner the ooarfce grass weeds will lie ru* out. Crystal B vskj*|*f|Che6e ornaments are uqt difficult h"nnila. The basket or any other omameit is first- fsshioneeV with copper wire, usk skeleton of th<! ! pattern desired, for blue crystals, take I a saturated solution of sulphate of cop - per in hot water, place the pattern in this liquor, anil set it in a quiet place ; as the solution oools, crystals of the sulphate will be deposited upon the wire; the figt crystrls will be small; but to ino lee ttcir size it is only uece.-mry t a place the ornaments in a fresh and perfectly saturated solution of the copper aud salt. For -ye Mow crys tals use yellow prussiate of potash ; for ruby use thei red prussiate of pota- h ; for white, use alum. The salts of chromium, niid many others, are equally applicable for this purpose, if. greater variety of color be wanted. To preserve these ornaments in all their beauty they sbonld be kept under glass shades. All the salts named are more soluble in hot than in cold water ; hence, as the hot solution become cold, a part of the material is deposited ; in so doing each metallic salt assumes a paiticular shape of crystals, us if endowed with vitality. These crystals vary in form according 11 the Halt, bnt are iuvariubly the same for (lie name salt, and as characteristic of their origin. 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. MARKET REPORTS. NASIIVII.LK.

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.
