When, however, he it* wound* i, he will turn ami tight desperately. Tigers ••appear to be afraid to encounter man un til they have once had an encounter with him, when all fear ceases ever after. * * * But whenever a tiger has once tasted hu man blood, it even seeks it in preference to all others.” Dr. Fayrer thinks it prob able that, on account of the general dis arming of the natives after the mut'iiv, the number of tigers has increased rather than diminished of late years. Their rav ages are certainly appalling. Captain Rogers says that in lower Bengal alone, during the six years ending in 18G6, 13,400 human beings were killed by wild animals, while Government reports state that dur ing the same period and in the same locali ty, 4,218 of the above fell victims to tigers, while 4,287 were slain by wolves. In the Rangpore district alone, the yearly loss of life is between fifty-five and sixty. The ex ploits of individual tigers are even more re markable. We i-ead of one tiger which, in 1867, 1868, 1569, killed respectively 27, 34, and 47 people. Once it killed a father, mother, and three children, within a few moments. This dangerous brute killed 27 persons in the week before it was shot. Another tiger destroyed during 1856, 1858, an average of 80 persons annually. A third tiger in 1809 slew 127 people, and stopped up a public road for several weeks till killed by an English sportsman. So great is the awe which thia tyrant of the jungle inspires that whole villages are sometimes deserted, and all cultivation in the neighborhood stopped. A Govern ment rejort informs us that in the Central Provinces “a single tigress caused the de sertion of thirtecu villages, and 250 square miles of country were thrown out of culti vation." The inhabitants of India, espe cially the Hindoes, believe the tiger to !t* if abode of an evil sjsrit, and many would not kill him if they could, for fear of subse quent mischief. So great a dread in some parts of tho country is felt by the peas ants of his supernatural powers and malev olent disposition, that they either avoid naming him at nil or speak of him as “the jackal," or ‘‘the beast." There is almost universal belief that his flesh, especially his heart, if eaten, produces courage and strength. Hie whiskers, claws, and fangs are also rcligidue-ly preserved as potent charms .—A tfienas um. OROTESyK ENGLISH. Even the famous Portuguese and English grammar constructed by a Por tugese for the use of his countrymen, and containing some of the choicest bits of grotesque attempts at English ever put together, would be enriched by the addition of a letter recently contributed to the columns of the Glasgow /Jerald by a tourist from Metr who visited the “land o’ cakes” and was there disabused of certain cherished i,deals. He says: —“A person angry says to-day that he was from the theatre gallery spit upon. Very fins. I also was spit upon. Not on the dress, but into the eye strait it came with strong force while I look up angry to the gallery. Before I come to your country I worship the Scotland of my books, my Waverly Novel, you know, but now I dwell here since sii months, in all parts, the picture change. I now know of the bad smell, the oath and curse of God’s name, the whisky drink and the rudeness. You have much money here, but you want what money cannot buye heart cultivating that makes respect for gentle things. O ! to be spit in the eye in one half million of peopled town. Let me no longer be in this cold country, where people push in the street, blow the nose with naked finger, empty the dish at the house door, chooze the clergy' from the lower classes and then go with them to death for an ecclesiastical theory which none of them can understand. Igo home three days time.” There is more in this than gro tesque English, however. Jt abounds with good sense and penetration. SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 21, 1878 THE EGO DANCE IN INDIA. A much more pleasing performance, and one which might., perhaps, better have been mentioned in connection with the exploits of .he jugglers,is the “egg dance.” This, is not, as one might expect from the name given it, a dance with these fragile objects. It if executed in this wise : The dancer, dressed in a corsage and very short skirt, carries a willow wheel of moderate diameter, fastened hori zontally upon the top of her head. Around this wheel threads are fastened equally distant from each other, and at the end of each of these threads is a slip-uoose, which is kept open by a glass bead. Thus equipped, the young girl conies toward the spectators with a basket full of eggs, which she passes around for inspection, to prove that they are real and not imitations. The music strikes up a jerky, monotonous strain, and the dancer begins to whirl around with great rapidity. Then, seizing an egg, she puts it in one of the slip-nooses, and, with a quick mo tion, throws it from her in such a way as to draw the knot tight. The swift turning of the dancer produces a cen trifugal force which stretches the thread out straight, like a ray shoot ing from the circumference of the cir cle. One after another the eggs are thrown out in these elip-nooses, until they make a horizontal aureole or halo about the dancer’s head. Then the dance becomes still more rapid, so rapid, in fact, that it is difficult to dis tinguish the features of the girl: the moment is critical; the least false step, the least irregularity in time, and the eggs dash against each other. But how can the dance be stopped? There is but one way—that is to remove the eggs in the way in which they have been put in place. This operation is by far the more delicate of the two. It is necessary that the dancer, by a single motion, exact an unerring, should take hold of the egg, and remove it from the noose. A single false motion of the hand, tho the least interference with one of the threads, and the general arrangement is suddenly broken, and the whole performance disastrously ended. At last all the eggs are successfully removed; the dancer suddenly stops, and, without seeming in the least diz zied by this dance of twenty-live or thirty miuutes, site advances to the spectators with a firm step, and pre sents them tho eggs, which are imme diately broken in a ilat dish to prove that there is no trick about the per formance. A CHIN ESK DINNER. The small tables were furnished with saucers, little bowls, a china ware spoon, and a pair of chopsticks for each person. The dinner was com posed of everything except boef und mutton, which are seldom eaten by Matives In the part of China referred to; the staple materials for their dishes are pork, fowl, and fish, all kinds of vegetables, sea-weed, fungi, •tc. Everything,be it noted, is boiled, and comes to the table in the form of soup, stew, or haricot. The table Is served by each person having put be fore him a “portion” of whatever the “course” may be; hut there 1b often a large dish pluced in the centre, and also dishes of condiments, into which all dip their chopsticks. It is Impos sible to attempt a description of the numberless dishes composing the feast, but the writer mentions one "to which justice was always done. It Is made from what in England are only used to pelt unpopular candidates at elections. What process they undergo before coming to the table is unknown, but they appear like hard-boiled, black eggs, stewed in some very palatable sauce, and are really excellent.” A dinner of the kind alluded to often extends to thirty or forty courses, and lasts three or four hours. Rice-wine, hot and very tasteless, is constantly handed round In tiny cups, and the Chinese drink a good deal of It,though they very rarely become Intoxicated. They merely get excited in manner and Hushed in the face. Oddly enough, the crowning dish of the repast Is a huge bowl of plain boiled rice. It Is •aid that this prevents any evil effect* from excess either of eating or drink ing—sobers you, In fact, and sends rou away from the table with a oloar Intellect.— Chamber’s Journal. A Member of the Paris Academy of Sciences, M. Cbampouillon asserts that the dead bodies of victims of al coholism decompose much more ra pidly than do those that in life were not so effected. He observed this in Paris after the city was taken by the Prussians. The bodies of drunken Communists and of soldiers of the government were in many places ly ing side by side, and It was Invariably the case that the former were In a far more advanced state of decomposition than the latter. M. Champouillon concludes that alcoholism produces in the system a sort of morbid adynamy or weakness, resembling that of putrid fevers, and which favors rapid punt mar turn decay. AGRA AND DKI.IIt. Agra and Delhi give the moat vivid idea of the nature and tenure of English rule in India, for there more than elsewhere you see the old sovereignty on well as the new in iron strength. Lucknow gives the idea of beauty, of great wealth, hardly of sovereignly in its power. You soe the King as magistrate, see him, as ho reposed afler the duties of the day a ruler worthy of the name always hail kingly duties in the East; you almost forget that the Mag istrate was also expected to be the warrior. In Delhi ami Agra the impression is differ ent; you cannot mistake that you are lu the cities of great kings, who nut merely administered justice, but led armies. I shall take Agra aH an instance. There is no possibility of forgetting here that yon are standing or driving or walking where some of the mo: I magnificent of Eastern sovereigns reigned. Tho streets of old Agra,pared with blocks of stono like London streets now, are among the most crooked, crowded streets in tho world, and ao naiTow that the trafllc ia in a stale of perpetual obstruction. You see also,- though, that the fronts of the old houses are elabora'ely and beautifully carved, and that you are p teeing through a maze of industry, of patient work, of all that makea life endurable in these labile. At every door-etep, or within what in Eng land would hen window, you soetlieskilled artisan at his work, or the salesman or saleswoman vending wares for which their ancestors were noted many ages ago. In dingy shops, not unlike marine stores in Europe, you may purchase shawls at enormous prices, or precious stones worth a King's ransom. You know that the stones under your carriage wheels are tho very same which Bio magnificent Akbar and others drove in days when other races rilled in this fine city, that the verandas from whence you are being overlooked are those from which homage was paid to great monarchs; that the life, rich or poor, is identically the same life in nearly all, if not all, leading characteristics, as that which existed here when the wolf and wild boar held revel in Dritian. Nothing, indeed, either in Ileuares or Cairo (I take the most oriental cities I know) impresses one so much with a sense of Orientalism as do these narrow streets of Agra. You turn from this to the fort—the Fort of Akbar, but now, an element of European intrusion, of daring innovation, in shorl, of anew civilization dropped down, as it were, to leaven qnd disturb traditions, habits, impulses older than history. With in the fort you see marble palaces to whose rare beauty no pen or pencil ever yet has done justice. From its walls you see the Taj, standing out like a fairy palace in a wilderness, and tombs, mosques, temples, and palaces, which attest, and will long attest, the grandeur of bygone times, when only human life was value, less, but of times, nevertheless, which the people, with instincts akin to otfv own, call “good,” as well as “old."— Macmillan’l &Lw. CURIOUS FREAK OF A IKIO. A Radnorshire lady, who was mar ried in March, and came to reside in Yorkshire, England, recently paid a visit to her father, who, before she was married, had kept two or three sheep-dogs, of which she was very fond. Since then he has retired from business, and disposed of ull but one dog. This one met tha lady with de monstrations of great delight upon her arrival at her father’s house, and that night, the dog went a distance of seven miles to a farm-house where one of the other dogs had been sent, (the latter was blind, but kept as being an old favorite.) In the morning when the lady went to the door she not only saw the dog which had given hor such a glad reception the day previously, but also the old blind one, which had evidently been brought by the other dog to welcome her. When the second night came the old blind ono was taken back to Its home by the same dog, which afterward returned, having traveled a distance of twenty eight miles to givo pleasure to the old blind one. We had always supposed that be hind the screens one secs strung across the back end of a dressmaking establishment, was where they khep the wood box und coal scuttle, and Innocently enough we started to go behind one the other day, to spit. No, It wasn’t a ghost, for ghosts don’t yell so, or jump over a cord of boxes, and try- to hide behind a spool of thread, but there was enough of some thing behind them to keep us in the front part of the shop after this.

NAPOLEON'S TREATMENT OF BIS GENERALS. ITe was born a king, if to command the obedience of men lie the whole art of king ship, which may perhaps be doubted. Jls seems in general to have acted on the plan of Frederick the Great; that is, he demand ed nothing but success from his lieuten ants, and was careless of tho means they took to obtain it. Only failure he would never forgive. It was a favorite saying of bis that he never judged men but by re sults. It was to no purpose that Massena gave excellent reasons for his defeat by Wellington; Napoleon wanted victories, and not explanations. There is a foolish story, to which so eminent a man as Southy could give credence, to the effect that Ad miral Villeneuve was assassinated by or der of the Emperor after his disgrace at Trafalgar. There can be no serious doubt that the unfortunate commander com mitted suicide in sheer terror at the idea of an interview with the stern muster whose plans he had caused to miscarry. It ia fair to add that those of his captains who were succcseful had no need to complain that their services were insufficiently appre ciated. Even Massena hud acquired an in come of SIOO,OOO while his star waein the as cendant. Moult had SOO,OOO a year; Ney nearly $100,000; Davouet $180,000; while Bertbier, Prince of Neuchatol, enjoyed a princely revenue of some $270,000. “They will no longer tight," Napoleon once ex claimed in a moment of dejection, refer ring !o his Generals. “I have made them too rich." It may be euspected that it was rather from motives of policy than of gratitude that Napoleon thus created the foi tunes of his Marshals in a day. Ho was anxious to establish as a support to hie throne a powerful aristocracy, which in splendor and (to do him justice) in the bril liancy of its achievements should irival the old nobility of France. He forgot, how ever, that though monarchy and democra cy can exist and have existed without pre scription, an aristocracy to be venerable must absolutely bear the seal of antiquity. In none of his project* had Cromwell failed more hopelessly than in his attempt to reconstruct the House of Lords in Eng land. Napoleon, it is true, did not pro pose to confer legislative functions on his nobles as such; nevertheless he intended them to tie a priviledged class, and -this alone was a more courageous than wise idea on the morrow of 1789. — ‘I'ltt < ialaxy .

Thus, supposing that a great number of plates, which, after being sepa rately magnetized to saturation, are placed together, the magnetism of the combina tion Is seen to increase up to a limit which cannot be passed, *nd which is reached ■when the polar surfaces are filled. Sup posing that ten platee tie required—if the same experiment be recommenced, apply ing the same plates against two iron arma tures of a largo surface, the intensities in crease much more slowly, because the sum of the magnetism is diffused over a more considerable extent, the limit not being reached till this extent is full. For this, it may be needful to superpose twenty, thirty, or forty plates, and generally speaking, a number so much greater as the armatures are larger. The total power of the meg net increases, therefore, with its armatures. Rtrbnotrrnino Paper.— French journals state that pajier may be rendered exceed ingly bard and tenacious by subjecting the pulp to the action of chloride of zinc. After it has been treated with the chloride, it is submitted to a strong pressure, by which it becomes as hard as wood and as tough as hide, the hardness varying according to the strength of the metalie solution. The ma terial thus produced can be easily colored. It may be employed advantageously in the covering of floors, and affords a substitute for leather in the manufacture of coarse shoes; it likewise furnishes a substance valuable for working into whip handlee, buttons, combs, the mountings of saws, and other useful articles. An important appli cation of the material is that of a covering | or roofs, on account of its solid texture and great durability. The best and most durable insulation for ! electric wires is to tin them and cover with pure rubber. NUMBER 8. AN OLD INDIAN KILLER. Mr. Andrew Whitley, of St. Louis, sn route to Lexington, visited the Courier- Journal office yesterday with a rare relio of the earliest days of Kentucky. It was a rifle, made by Jacob Young, of Virginia, in 1744, and owned by Mr. W.'s grandfather, William Whitley, who was one of the first white men that came to Kentucky and was a companion to Daniel Boone. The gun is as much a curiosity on account of its great length as it is a prize on account of its great age, its history, and recent associations. It is of the old-time flintlock pattern, about fire feet five inches in length, with a silver piste mounting on the stock, bearing the inscrip tion, “VV. and E. W.,” which stands for William and Easter Whitley. The gun, in the days of its usefulness, wns a piece of the fumily property, and the wife learned as well as the husband to coolly draw the bead on a deer or an Indian whenever occasion required. The weapon is of large bore, with perfect rifle, and the stock andfer ruled rammer are aparently in a perfectly Bound condition. Accompanying the gun is a large powder born of beautiful shape, currying a large supply of powder, and suiting the use of the hunter as well gs the ordinary small hnnting- Sask or horn, its shape being as well adapted to the purpose. The horn is well known throughout the State, and bears on one side the foliowing verses, carved on the bony substance. The words were composed by Win. Whitley himself, aud will doubtless be remembered by many readers of the Courier- Journal familiar witli the lives of the early vettlers; William Whitley, I am yonrhomj The truth I love, a lie I acorn. Fill me with best ot powder, He make your rifle crack the lowdflß, See how the dread terrifleh ball Hake Indians bleed and torreys ftIL You with powder lie supply For to delond your Liberty. The belt to which the horn is attached fa heavily ornamented with beads made of the quills of the porcupines, which are said to have been killed In Kentucky. After passing through all the scenes of tcroren noted on the dark and bloody ground, incident to the settlement of the Common wealth by tile whites, the faithful‘old riflo was associated with events winch add great interest to iis history. Win. Whitley was a soldier in the war of 1812, and directed the bulleJß of his old-time friend against the British and Indians at the battle of the Thames, Canada. Here he was killed in the thick of the fight, but the gun was preserved and returned to his people in Canada. FRENCH OKDNANCK. The superiority of our service con- ■ struotion of heavy guns is boing proved not only by direct experiments at home,, but also by indirect means abroad. About the time when the first trials of the 80-ton gun wore going on,a French breech-loading gun corresponding to 1 our 9-inch, and weighing about XI cwt., burst violently at Oavre, when being fired with its service charge of powder and projectile. The French guns are constructed on a system which, to say the least of it, has never met with any approval in this country. The body of the gun is of cast Iron, the portion from the trunnions for ward being entirely composed of thi* material. At the breach end the gun Is lined with a steel tube as far as the trunnions; and, in order to strengthen It, according to the advocates of this system,a series of steel rings Is shrunk on tho btoeoh, reaching as far as the trunnions that is, over the powder and shot chambers. Here therefore is a combination of two treacherous ma terials, oust iron and duel, so that any failure in the soundness of any part must lead to disastrous results. When to untrustworthy material is added a complicated system of brooch-loading, the wonder is not that guns so con structed sometimes burst, but that they can be trusted at all. The guR which railed lately at Oavre burst vio lently, six men being killed and othors being injured, though the gun was not being subjected to any extraordinary test, but was being fired as on servitfa. It isoDiy fair to conclude,therefore,that the guns in use in the French navy boing identical with that which burst, are liable to behave in a similar man ner. As far as tho experience of fif teen years can be relied on, no such accident can possibly happen to oue of our much-Hum ' heavy guns when .the most ordinary prcvaavioiis ure takou, I'all Mall Gazelle. 18 '■ ■ ——!
