TI&EES AND CATNIP, A SKiPTEids yau.v In the days when there was no restric tion on the trade, Captain Griffith of the schooner I ropic Bird sailed from Why dah, coast of Guinea, for Barbados, with a cargo of slaves, as he had done before; but he had hardly crossed the Bight of Benin, when the schooner was Struck by a white squall and thrown oh her beam ends. All the white people on hoard were on deck at the time, except one pas senger, and with them there were a tew trusted slaves,^ who were employed in va rious ways. The rest of the slaves were confined below. The schooner had but one small beat, which was taken posses sion of by the Captain, Mate, and four hands, who loaded her so deeply that they were obliged to push off, leaving seven souls, white and black, clinging to the vessel’s bottom. They had four oars, a few gallons of palm oil, but Mo sail, and no bread and water. A tarpaulin, found under a seat, was rigged fo- a sail, and in this unpromising condition they headed for The the shore they had re high, cently and left. sea was still running beat frequently down came on board. The sun upon them with ter rible force, and all but one man and the mate died raving mad before there was a sight of land. At last the surviv ors were cheered by the outline of a low shore which they made a desperate ef fort to reach, and as night again closed in they ran under the shadow of oyer hanging trees, where all was a marsli— the home of fevers and the abode of ser pents. On every hand it was a low jun gle, in which no white man could hope to live; an impenetrable undergrowth of ferns, young palms, climbing vines, rat tans, the thick-leaved ficus, and tall gum trees, woven together. To penetrate it was further a hopeless task, and, after pushing on the next day, and crossing many arms of what appeared to be the mouth of a river, they found a place to land. There they killed a numbir of snakes, which they devoured On this spot there was another death, and the mate was the only survivor. He was re ducedtoa shadow When some natives found him and took him, with his boat, to them a prize, to their village, AVari, where there was a mission station. Once there, he could hardly trust his senses, for he heard ri voice speaking English, and saw before him.a comely English woman, the wife—widow, for she had been bereft a few days before—of a mis sionary, who had labored in that un promising held. The missionary had been earned off by a tiger, and his widow, half crazed oy her sudden and terrible loss, was in no condition to do much for a shipwrecked manner; but his haggard face, shrunken limbs, and wo-begone looks aroused her sympa thies, and she gave him food and gar ments and the medic.ne he needed. The vffiage was made up of kraals and lgwamscovered with a thatchot leaves, from “bodeTwas Tieat^ancU ^Totttfoi waUle bv contrast furniture*-a attractive stools' IDhad but little anfeoarse few a table, skins mats, and in the part that might be caffed a kitchen, was its flower garden—not native flow ers, but flowers that carried the missiom ary and his *wife back to where they had spent their early days, and were grown from seeds they had brought with them, or were sent out in letters from time tc time ^ distant friends-blossoming beans, tufts of rocket and sweet AV llham nodding sprays of ragged-sailor, and spikes of fcx-gl-.ve, bcedarkspur, holly hocks of many oolprs, and mangolds and asters, all growing together. Red clover, beds of roses and balsam shared the ground with the humbler but no less val ued catnip, motherwort and golden-rod: while honeysuckles and woodbines china to what was intended for a porch, and which was as like one as the missionary could make it with the materials at band. It was these flowers, objects of love and admiration, that softened the lot of the missionary and his wife, and made them forget many of the privations sealed they ha t to beaT. And it was while on this low porch, in the cool of the even ing, enjoying his pipe—-his only mdul genre—that he was seized by a tiger and carried off. Traces of tigers had been seen in the flower garden, and some of the negroes hud said, with trembling limbs, that they had seen one there; but thp ine alarm ajqrm was w'm npvf-r never given p-ivpn intime in for the mis lonary and his'\ife to catch si 0 ht of the dreaded creature. The presence of .such a terrible foe in the immediate neighborhood sent a chill to every heart for they were powerless to contend with him, having only one shotgun. There was a constant are id that he would sud denlv burst upon them; and when, with abound, he carried off the head of the house, thev were paralyzed. The make said he would do what he could to drive off the monster; but al most before he had time to tgke it all in the tiger again appeared, as he sat on the doorstep ruminating. The creature this time did not come with glaring eyes, intent oil his prey, but was spiritless and evidently ill. Whether the missionary had not agreed with him, or, in satisfy¬ ing his voracious appetite, he had swal lowed too many brass buttons, or, per haps, be the ascertained. missionary's false teeth, could turd not Certainly for the cfea- tittle was mbping. afid arid a drive lffng him (n o one lle caring to gd hut o11 ) la v in a P art °f the garden he had - frequented before, apparently munching £0 “/; tllin g The next morning . the mate carefully , ,, f xarai “ e * the spot, and saw that the tujer had confined bis attention to the from catDip bed Here was a re relation, draw and it the mate was quick to a conclusion. “Cats,” said he to himself, “love catnip, eat of it freely, aud always turn “is to it diminutive when ailing. tiger; A cat,” tiger he went is on, a a small, a monstrous cat ; whether large or bat hr tiger, they Have one taste in com¬ mon; a love of catnip.” Having reasoned thus, he set about turning his conclusions to account, satis tied that with the aid of catnip he might capture this troublesome tiger—perhaps many tigers, greatly to his profit. Ex¬ actly how it was to be done required him more reflection. At last it came to that with the aid of the ttegroes about the mission, lie could make a corral of timber, in with sidea so caught, high and Sloping that a tiger, onbe could not climb up and over the paling. The work waS begun, and the corral when com pletcd nip, especially was to be about planted the thick which with cat- the expected trap, spring when tiger was to widow rolling in the savory bed.

But the catching of the tiger was lothing attending compared to the labor and anx lety getting him into a cage which had to be made) and sending him to market. Meanwhile he had to be fed, which duty was assigned to one of the negroes, who scoured the country for xids, shotes and lack-rabbits; for he aad no weapon with which to secure large game. The cage, rude beyond de icription, was bated with a shote and oacked up to the trap, which was lifted just high enough for the tiger (hungry from fasting) to rush in and pounce on the porker, when the door, with a slam, dropped into its place. Nothing could be finer, and the cap t a ; n 0 f a canoe manned with forty pad- the dies, agreed to take the tiger, with necessary provision, to AVhydah, consigned for a consideration. There a truder the tiger to a house in London, the widow paying freight, for the mate was “broke” when the Tropic Bird went over. The consignment reached London safely, the tiger, an exceptionally fine one, found a ready market, and the consignee, in re mitting the proceeds, solicited other like consignments. To meet the difficulty of providing cages, he agreed to keep ca geS, Manchester nude, in stock and at Why dah. This was pleasant news, and the when received at Wari, the mate w i dow , who had become attached to each other and were only waiting for a missionary to turn up and splice them, concluded to push the business and make regular n shipments J of tigers. From that til e all W ent well till the business attracted the attention of Ah king of Dahomey, who ordered Kankore. the petty king who ruled in the W;m strict, to bring the mate to bi^ ‘IfTa’ffal^Thlsivas staging writlLi there w T as no heip for it, anil , Juft , . f- owa rd Abomev as raoidlv as circu a nces would admit, receiving man J y attentions on the way, which Kan , aDnropriatrd to himself till they ^ row --.•j'tiv to their iournev's end when ' } , y wished that it was over At Alladdn their first post, they Bullbil, were me( . b a delegat ion headed by the ™ e ^nor cb '- e f of that section, who sought to to the mate and show proper TCSpect P for Kankore. invited At Why boo, bar- tho nex t station, thev were to a b ecue—a dishes roasted under a gum tree, ... s ; de of yams, shark's steak delicacy at that distance from the „ gt) ‘ „ nd toasted owls- the toasting ’ maidensdrassed iu parrot heing d one bv fibers.

The King saw the point, commended the wisdom of his servant, ordered the mate and all who were asssociated with him to quit the country, and appointed Stan bi a commissioner to go to AVari and run the corral on the King’s account. The mate.accompaned by Kankore and Stanbi, started at once for the coast; and when they reached Wari he told the widow to pack their kit, while he gave attention to pulling up and rooting out every vestige of catnip—clearing rip, he said, which satisfied Stanbi, so long as no injury was done to the corral. widow It was with a heavy heart that the at last turned from the spot that had been so interwoven with her life, and having plucked a few sprigs of ragged-sailor, a bit of rocket, and a primrose or two, with the mate she stepped on board the canoe that was to take them engaged to AVhydah, Where their passage was on board a vessel up for Barbados, fof they wanted to be beyond the reach of the King as soon as possible. After waiting a reasonable time, King Ahgrimy asked for returns rrom his tiger enterprise, and when told that no tiger had been caught he ordered the head of Stambito be cutoff, and Baraka, a chief of equal note, was sent to AVari in his place.

The Btownville Cosmopolitan says of 11 r Recently two boys brothers, one atid the other 10 years of age, were plaving on the banks of the river at Urea. They proposed to take some wood home to their mother, and while gathering it lifted the dry branch of a tree and uncovered a rattlesnake, which bit the eldest boy in the linger. The youth feeling the venom entering his veins, called on the younger brother to cut otT the injured member. The latter asked, “ With what replied “With this thm flat stone,” the intrepid youth, picking up one and placing his finger on another flat one. The brother took the stone and ham¬ mered away, and after some time suc¬ ceeded in mashing off the finger, thus saving the life of the heroic boy, who stood the horrible torturo with great fortitude It AY as Too told. Principai Poland, of the his Newark pnpils High School always dismisses when the thermometer indicates that the miserable school furnaces are not raising the temperature above fifty de¬ grees. On Monday morning, when the boys in his department assembled, they saw that, though the room was rathei cool, still the temperature was too high for practical benefit. Bo the bulb of the thermometer was packed in snow, aud each boy turned up his coat collar, and as the teacher came in stamped his feel and blew on his fingers. Mr. Poland looked rather surprised, and then looked at the thermometer. Tho snoiv had clone its work, and the mercury maked forty something.

From a report of the New York Mer¬ cantile Exchange it appears that during the last year the receipts of butter have been 1,648,220 packages, being 8,620 packages less than for last year, while cheese has fallen off 178,927 boxes. Irt exports butter is 58,476 packages and cheese 86,434 boxes less than last year. The prices of AVestervv creamery butter have increased from 29 7-16 and 24 cents to 25 1-8 and 26 3-4 cents. The price of cheese and eggs also advanced. For December there was a large falling off in the quantity of butter, cheese, and eggs received in this market. Five thousand and six packag es of oleomar garino were reported nyhaving been re¬ ceived during the month, and the oleo¬ margarine and oils exported during the month show an increase of 6,603 pack¬ ages over the same time last year. Too Much Economy. The New York Mail has heard a stoTy which leads it to remark that economy in sending cable messages is not always desirable. Relatives of a hew York lady in Paris, hearing she was ill, cabled that if she was not better they would straightway sail, and asked for instruc¬ tions what to do. The answer came “no better.” Only this and nothing more. 'J he relatives sailed on the next steamer, and their astonishment was great upon arriving in Paris to find the supposed stricken lady giving a dinner party. The explanation, although sim¬ ple, was very annoying. The cable an¬ swer had been “no,” in response to in¬ quiry whether the relatives should sail, and “better” as to the lady’s health.
