SAGACITY OF THE 1313FRAL0.—The following in-
stance of courage, sagacity, and attachment in the buf-
falo rivals what we read in the pages which Mr.
Jesse, Captain Brown, and other enthusiastic natu-
ralists, devote to holding up the canine species to
our admiration :—ln the month of March an
occurrence took place in the division Alodjokerto
(residence of Sourabaya) which deserves to be brought to
general notice, as a new and striking proof of the at-
tachment of animals towards their purveyors. The
local authorities of the division have inquired into the
truth of the facts mentioned below; there cannot,
therefore, be the least doubt about the matter. On
the 14th of March a boy eight years of age, in the
Dessa Gilang, was herding some buffaloes in a wood
of

not very distant from the village, when he was unex-
gloeers. iAmtmtehdeiactreielys
came running up, one of which attacked the tiger
with such success that he released the boy and seized
the buffalo above the knee joint ; on which a short
fight ensued between the buffalo and the tiger, which
ended in the flight of the latter. In the meantime
the other buffalo had placed himself above the body
of the boy, which was lying on the .ground, in such
a way as to cover it entirely and to protect it against a
second attack of the tiger. The people of the neigh-
bouring Dessa had in the meantime armed them-
selves and pursued and killed the tiger. The life of
the boy, although he was severely wounded, by
the tiger on the right thigh bone, is not yet
despaired of. The peculiar attachment which the two
buffaloes in this case showed towards their herd is ex-
plained by the circumstance that for the most part the
young
Datives, who take care of the pasturage of these
animals, bestow extraordinary
attention on one or more
of their flock, that they generally remain in their vi-
cinity, and sometimes pass a large portion of the day on
their backs.—Siegapore Free Press, April 13.
A COINCIDENCE.—Since 1789, all the revolutions in
France have taken place under Popes of the name of
Pius. Louis .X.VI was dethroned under Pius VI. ; the
Directory was overturned under Pius VI. ; Napoleon
fell under Pius VII. ; Charles X. under Pius VIII. ; and
Louis Philippe under Pius LX.—John Bull.
