She entered the front base ment—a species of sitting room—and thence glided through into the rear basement, which was a kitchen. I was close at her heels.

Seeing that ihe stones and menaces were of no avail, the I frightened men commenced their prayers; but before they were finished, the lion sprang up- f on them, and throwing them to the ground, devoured the elder while still chained to the body of tbe younger brother. The living man as he heard the lessening moans of his relative and the crunching of the lion at his hideous meal, had no trouble in counterfeiting death, but swooned where he fell. When the animal -t* 127© oZ> v v 0/fc©r POOf had eaten the body down to the shackle, find- troprietors of EUSSELL’S PATENT ing a substance be could not masticate, he bit off the leg of the brother he was eating below the knee, leaving the lower part of the limb still confined in the iron link, Then, either from thirst or being satisfied with what he had eaten, he left the living man, and walked down to a brook, a little distance off. The poor devil, once alone, sprang to his fect and dragging with him tbe mangled limb, crept into a crevice of a rock that he was fortunate enough to discover. A few moments after, the insatiate beast arrived on his track, roar ing with anger, and passed around and above the hole in which he had sought refuge, but be ing unable to reach his prey, he left for the woods with the first dawning of the day. The trembling fugitive, a second time saved, crawled out of his hiding place to renew his flight, when he was captured by some of the horsemen of the Bey, who had been following MASTIC ROOFING OjST O^TSTV'^.S. HAVING purchased the right to use and sell the above ROOFING for several SOUTHERN STATES, we are now prepared to do •ROOFING or SELL RIGHTS to use the same. This roofing is adapted to new or old BUILDINGS, steep or flat roofs and can bo put over Plank or old leaky shingles/Tin or Iron Roofs; it costs about half the price and is much better ‘ than Tin—is not affected by heat or cold and is impervious to wa ter ; it is fire proof, and it is the best roofing-ev er invented for Moulmain. Each elephant on board had a mahout, or driver, and a coolie, or servant for feeding aud cleaning him. To these men they had become acustomed and were great ly subjected to their influence. The ele phant’s mabout, assisted by tbe sailors, ar ranged a strong canvas sling, or girth, edged with strong rope, round the animal’s carcass, and, the tackle being adjusted, the huge fellow half, and the tail three feet. The weight of his body varies between six hundred and six hundred and sixty pounds. The Arabs are more afraid of this lion than the two others, and they have good reasons to be. Instead of migrating’from place to place, the black lion takes up his residence in some favor ite retreat. andremains theirsome thirty years.

Ahmed Bey was so moved by the strange spectacle and wild narrative, that, although bearing the reputation of a cruel ruler, he ordered the entrave broken, and the prisoner to be set at liberty. Although the lion of Algiers is endowed with great speed, an unequalled agility, yet he is never known to chase his prey. Sometimes when he sees either a single boar, or a herd of wild hogs, he will steal forward with the tread of a cat to surprise them ; but the moment he is heard or discovered, the black brutes scamp er away ; and he, giving up the chase, walks down to the plain to select his supper in the Arab inclosures, which he finds infinitely more to‘his taste, and at the same time, more cer tain. I have sometimes seen a troop of wild hogs suddenly quit a neighborhood in the mid dle of the day, where oue of their friends had been munched up; but I have often seen tbe lion and the hogs residing in the same forest without paying any attention to each other. I have had occasion during many a night to Rail Road. Oars, Bridges, &c. Ac. It is warranted to give entire satisfaction. For further information apply to FREEMAN A ROBERTS, or janlD tf A. P. CHERRY.

This work was done about the year 1445—more than four hundred years ago. Who can estimate its influence on the world? As the Bible was the first book printed, so there have been more copies of the Bible printed than of any other work. It is now translated into the leading languages of the earth.—-V. Y. Chron.

They roar in that manner every quarter of an hour up to the moment when they approach the encampment that they are about to attack, when they both keep si- ! leuce; but after they have taken and eaten their food they recommence their melancholy music and continue it until morning. A solitary lion generally roars as he rises from his slumber at the commencement of the —_ 0 night, and will often continue his thundering fjl]tler7, II*Oil.

During the great heats of /^|FFERS for 6ale oneoftbc latest apa most com- Summer the lion roars but iittle, and sometimes not at all ;\ but as the season of his armours ■ - ~ advances he makes up for the time lost in si lence. The Arabs, whose language is rich in comparison, have but one word for thtf roar ing of tbe lion, and that is rad, thunder. Among other foolish questions I have had asked me, is, “Why does the lion roar 1 would say that the roaring of the lion was to him what to the bird is his musical song, and if ihe questioner does not believe the fact, if he will go to the forests and pass several years in ilia company, he may perchance find a bet ter explanation. * I have fancied that the statistics made by me of the losses that the Arabs endure by reason of the visits of their leonine neighbors, would interest my readers, and with them I will end this chapter. The life of the lion is from thirty to forty years. He kills or con sumes, year by year, horses, mules, horned cattle, camels and sheep, to the vaiue of twelve hundred dollars, and taking the average ofhis life, which is thirty-five years, each lion costs the Arabs forty-two thousand dollars. Thethir- ty animals of this species living at this present moment in the Province of Constantine, and whose loss is replaced by others coming from Tunis or Morocco, are sustained by an annual cost of thirty-six thousand dollars. In the countries where I have been accustomed to hunt, tbe Arab who pays an annual tax of five francs, pays another of fifty francs to the lion. Thc natives have destroyed more than one half of the woods in Algiers in order to drive away these noxious animals, and the French authorities hoping to stop these fires that threat en to destroy all the woods in the country, have passed laws inflicting a fine upon the na tives detected burning the woods. But what is the result ? The Arabs assess the tribe to pay the fine, and burn as before.
