FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

A MAN CARRIED OTT IT A LION.—IAst night •
terrible tragedy was emitted in my cattle„ fold by two
daring horns. The night was intensely dark, with °eat-
Mosel rail; and fearing lions might select such • night
to surprise their prey, I eat up watching until a We
hour. I had just lain down, remarking to my friend
that in came of • visit from these brutes the oxen would
give the alarm when on • mudding there arose ea awful
scream, followed by a death-like gross, seek es I shall
never forget ,the very r.coll.ctlou of it chills my
blood. Two lions had entered the enclosure., and suc-
ceeded in carrying away a poor fellow, whom they tore
to piecee and devoured within • short diet:woe of
our camp. We neither could nor dared attempt a
• rescue. The unfortunate men was lying in his hut
with hie wife sad two little children, elms one of the
monsters forted his way through from the beck, and
seised him, at the same time indicting 4wo wounds
upon the women:—.Anderecit's Okavango River.
DDIOOIIIIIII3 AT Bum —The excevetions which ere
being made for the canal for the Isthmus of Sues have
led to the discovery at °Web of • religious Willa as
vest es the Louvre, and which was ocinetreated more
thee five thousand years ago. At Karma also a
temple, the circuit of which is stated to be four kilo-
metres (two-end-a-belt miles), has been discovered, and
another at Mien, containing twenty saloons. The
wells of them latter edifices are decorated with scalp-
tures, hieroglyphics, end paintings, still fresh.
A letter from Turin in the Monde dates that well-
Informed persona of that city senonsce that • marriage

Jima ha. been decidedly resolved on, and that more

The royal insignia of Prussia to be used in the ap-
proaching coronation reineiste of eight erticles—the
magnificent crown which Frederick I. got executed at
an enormous expense, the sceptre, the globe, the
sword, the seal of the state, the collar of the royal
order., the electoral hat, and the electoral sword. m•
crown, sceptre, end eobe have not been and by tbe
Prosaism king for 161 years; during all that time they
wira.. only borne before him cut solemn ocessions, or
exhibited as the death of • sovereign.
OR 22222 AND FIANCS.—The Paris Agars has the
following "parallel" between German and French
Isdies :—"The French woman dresses •' the German
m's?, herself. The German walk.; the Parisienue
undulates. German women ere either ugly or pretty;
Partnerless charming; none of them are ugly, neither
are any of them beautiful. Whether excited or indif-
ferent the aspect of the German is always frank and
honest. What delicious abysses are the ere of •
Parisienne I As said Count de Grenanoet, 'liar eyes
have always the sir of doing something more than
merely looking at you.' Tho. Germen says yes or no.
With the Perisienne it is never either quite pa or
altogether no. The Gernien will wait for you under
the tree ten years ; the Peri:donne ten minutes. The
Psrisienne is, above all, booming ; the German, good.
The German is content with the admiration of one;
the Frenchwomen likes to be admired by all, and would
tuber renounce the admiration of her lover than that
of the public The Parisienne is an artist, the German
▪ woman. Morel: 111. best to lote in France, but to
starry in Germany."
