irresistibly dragged along by them in what
ever direction they please. 1.-THE intention be
to kill the animal for the sake of the hide
and tallow alone, as is often the case, one OF
the Guassos dismount, 'and, running in, cuts
the bulls hamstrings with long knife,
which he always wears in his girdle, and, in
stantly dispatches him, by a dexrerous cut
across the back of the neck. The most sur
p,ising thing is, the manner in which the
horse, after being left by his rider, manages
to preserve the lasso always tight; this
would be less difficult if the bull were to re-
main steady, but it sometimes happens, that
he makes violent struggles to disentanglc
himself from the lassos, rushing backwards
and forwards in furious manner; the
horse, however, with wonderful sagacity,
alters his place, and pranccs about, as it con
scious of what he is doing, so as to resist eve
nv movement of the bull, and never allowing
the lasso to be relaxed for moment.
When "A wild horse is to be taken, the las
so is always placed round the two hind legs,
and as the guasso rides a little on ono side,
the Jerk pulls the entangled horses feet lat
orally, SO as to throw him on one side with
out endangering his knees or his face. Be-
fore the horse can recover the shock, the RI
der dsmounts, and snatching his poucha or
cloak from his shoulders, wraps it round
the PROSTATE animals head; he then forces
into his mouth one of the most powerful bri-
dies of the country, straps saddle on his
back, and, bcstriding him, removes the pou-
cha; upon which, the astonished horse
sprigs on hislegs, and cndeavours, by thou
sand vain efforts to disencumber himself OF his
new master, who sits quite composedly on
his back, and by discipline which never
fails, reduces the horse to such complete o.
bedience, that he is soon trained to lend his
speed and strength i'll the capture of his wild
companions
During the recent wars in this country,
the lasso was used as weapon Of great pow
err in the hands of the guasso, who make
bold and useful troops, and never fail to dis
mount cavalry, or to throw down the horses
Of those who come within their reach. There
is d well authenticated story OF party OF
eight or ten of these men, who had never
seen a piece of artillery, till one was fired al
them in the streets of Bucnos Ayres they
galloped fearlessly up to it, placed their las
sos over the cannon, and by their united
strength, fairly overturned it. Another an
ecdote is related of them, which though pos
sible enough, does not rest on such good au-
thorty. A number of armed boats were
sent to effect landing at a certain point on
the coast, guarded solely by these horsemen
The party in the boats, caring little for al
enemy unprovidcd with firearms, rowed
confidently along the shore. The guassos
meanwhile, were watching their opportunity
and the moment the boats came sutii'
GENTLY near, dashed into the water, and
throwing their lassos round the necks Of the
officers, fairly dragged every one ofthemou'
of their boats.

FANATICIsM IN FRANCE.

1t is a remarkable fact; that nc people arc
more attached to theatrical exhibitions than
the French; yet, strange to say, the capital
has been again dsgraced (for similar acts
have before been perfoimed) by refusing
Christian burial to comedian. Philippe,
late an actor of st. Martin, died on Thursday
night sc'nnight, and his father few days
after waited on the priests Of the Church of
St. Laurents, to request leave for the per-
formance Of the usual rites of burial.-The
old man experienced an absolute refusal, and
was told that the body of no actor could be
admitted into the church. 1t was necessary,
therefore, to decide on committing the corpse
of his son to the dust without that consola-
ton; but the populace was not so early sat
ished. As the funeral was proceeding to
Pere la Chaise, a party of the dcceased's
friends cried out, 'Io the church of St
Laurent" This movement was opposed by
a commissionary of police, and the funeral
procession was interrupted till an appeal
should be made to the King. When the
messengers sent for that purpose to the Tu-
licries returned, the procession again took its
original direction, and the crowd was dis
persed by so or 40 gendarmes. Thus the
| priests carried the day.

CURIOUS LEGAL INCIDENT.

About seventy years ago the celebrated
" Counsellor" Costello was in his zenith at
the Irish bar, where he was unrivalled for
wit, acutcness and propensity of brogue.
His practice lay considerably in the criminal
Courts, where, by his ingenuity, he enabled
many deserving culprits to invade the well
earned punishment of the law. He was
one day summoned to Newgatc in great
hurry and in case of great emergency.
The safe or strong box Of the bank of Glad
owe & Co. had been plundered to an i'm
mcnsc amount. Suspicion had fallen upon
deputy cashier, WAS WAS in consequence
arrested and sent to prison, inside of the
walls of which he had not been ten minutes
before he was advised his fellow prisoner
(whom on his entrance he had conciliated by
'coming down" handsomely to send for
Counsellor Costello, who would, if any man
could save his life. 1t was in obedience to
this summons that "thc Counsellor" repair
ed to Newgatc-a practice not very general
here, perhaps, but not at all unusual in Dub
lin.

ing 900 guincas my dear, said the Coun-
sellor as he entered the cell.

SELECTED FoR TIE srY.

The man of mental furniture has no more
reason 10 despise those, whose attention has
been confined to manual excellence, for not
having read what he has read, than the cat
tie to look with contempt upon the former, for
Tor mis- inability to use those tools, in the en-
ployment of which he has learned to be ex.
pert. The unreasonableness of looking down
on any, upon account of their ignorance on
subjects, TO which they have had no opportu.
nifty OF paying attention, is so evident even TO
vulgar apprehension, that no mechanic ever
dreams of despising any person who has not
been bred to the same occupation, for not un-
Outstanding it. The tiller of the ground new
er thinks OF despising the workman in wood,
for his want OF skill in the managemement Of
the plough. The carpenter contemns not the
husbandman, upon account of his incapacity
to carve, and to connect the materials with
which his art is conversant. Neither does
any artidcer allow himself TO discover con-
tempt for the ignorance which the scholar and
the gentleman may betray, in any occasional
conversation with him, relating 10 the names
or to the nature ofthe implements of his ocCu-
patton. Nor Go the members OF the learned
and enlightened world permit themselves to
show any scorn towards any Of their own
class, on account of their ignorance Of those
particular branches Of science, that are by
custom appropriated to particular professions,
and to which they are not, therefore, suppos-
ed, unless they belong to those professions, to
nave PAID any close attention. The Physi-
clan does not despise the medical ignorance Of
his learned patient; or the lawyer, the want
| of legal sight in his philosophical client or
| the divine, the absence of scriptural criticism
in the statesman. II is Immediately admitted
on all hands, that the ignorance, which arises
from the direction Of the understanding anoth-
er way, is no blot in the intellectual reputa-
ton OF him who has cultivated the COM
mon branches OF knowledge that belong to a
| liberal education. Yet, when the great body
of the cultivated part of mankind regard the
! mechanical and other classes of human life,
they are apt to depart from this rule of intel
lectual estimation, which they observe TO-
| wards one another, and which those classes Of
society have the good sense to observe towards
| them. This is neither generous nor just"
