WRIrINa MADE EAsY-GILLerT's PEN.-At the
present day there is excuse for bungling attempts
at penmanship, and the art Of easy writing would
almost seem to come spontaneously with the aPpl-
ances and means which within the reach of eve-
ry person who is ambitious Of acquiring flowing,
rapid, beautiful and consummate caligraphy. This
is emphatically the age Of writing made easy, and
the great discovery Of the day is the improved and
philosophical steel pen brought to its present state
of perfection by Mr. elliott the patentee of the cele
brated metallic pens whose advertisement will meet
the anxious Students eyes in another column. With
of these pens we are now endeavorlng to do JUS
tce 10 Mr.. Giou's usefulness, and can scarcely re
cognize our own handwork; the pen seems TO move
by some influence Independent Of our own volitlon
and the characters traced by are altogether superior
to any we had hitherto attempted. This pen seems
10 be endowed with the power of adding celebrity TO
beauty Of writing and, in addition to these recon-
mendatons its durability gives II claim TO these
who study economy as well as despatch and ease
There is class of persons that is likely to suffer
by the extensive introduction Of the new system Of
writing and that is the cutters, whose sale of pen
knives must be considerably diminished; as, last
year alone Mr. elliott disposed of the extraordinary
quantity Of thirty-iwo millions Of his metallic pens.
This is curious statistical fact as well as proof
OF the popularity Of the invention. This metallic
pe is in fact return to the cid instrument used by
the ancents for the tracing OF their Greek and Latin
characters, the stylus and the word pen, although
the only one that can be used is etymslogcally in
applicable to Mr. Gillotfs machine pen, or penna,
being referable TO the feather or pinion. The cas-
steal reader will remember the Roman schoolmastsr
who assassinaied for his tyranny by his pupils
with their styles.
We have pleasure in bearing this public testimony
TO Mr. Gillott's pens, as feel personal obliga-
ton to him for the facilities his invention affords
in conveying eur thoughts en- matters and things in
general 10 an eager and approving public.

From Wdtcrton's Natural History
FIG HIT WITH A LION.

In the month of July, 1881, two fine lions
made there appearance in n Jungle some twenty
miles distant from the cantonment of Racote,
in the East Indies where Captain Woodhouse,
and his two friends, Licptenatts Deaman and
Lang, were stationed. An elephant was de.
spatched to the place in the evening on which
the information arrived and on the morrow, Mt
the break of day, the three gentlemen set out on
horseback, full OF gee, and elHted with the hope
OF II speedy engagement On arriving at the
edge ofthe Jungle, people were ordered to ascend
the neig hhoring trees, that they might he able 10
trace the route of the lions in case they left the
cover. After beating about in the Jungle for
some time, the hunters started tie two lordly
strangers. The officers fired imined iately, and
one OF the lions fell to rise no more. His COM
panion broke cover, and took off across the coun-
Try The officers now pursued him on horse
back as fast as the nature of the ground would
allow, until they learned from the men who were
stationed in the trees, and who held up flags by
way of signal, that the lion had gone back into
the thicket. Upon this the three officers return
eel to the edge of the jungle, and having dis
mounted from their horses, they got upon the
elephant; Captain Woodhouse placing himself
in the hindermost seat. They now proceeded
towards the heart Of the jungle, IN the expecta-,
ton of rousng the royal fugitive second time.
They found him standing under large bush,
with his face directly towards them. The lion
allowed themto approach within range OF his
spring, and then he made sudden dart at the
elephant, chung on his trunk with a tremendous
roar, and wounded him just above the eye
While he was in the act of doing this, the two
lieutenants fired at him without success. The
elephant now shook him off, but the fierce and
sudden attack on the part Of the lion seemed TO
have thrown him into the greatest CONSERVATION
This was the first time he hnd ever come IN con
tact with so formidable an animal and much
exertion used before his riders succeeded in
urging him on again in quest of the lion Al
last he became somewhat more tractable; but
as he was advancing through the jungle, all OF
sudden, the lion, which had lain concealed in
the high grass, made at him with redoubled fury |
The officers now lost all hopes Of keeping their
elephant in order. He turned round abruptly,
and was going away quite ungovernah!e, when
the lion again sprang at him, seized his hinder
parts with his teeth, and hung on them I'LL the
affrighted animal managed to shake him off by
lncessant kicking. s
The lion retreated farther into the thicket
