gentle, tame, and even tender Advincnt, who is
well known all over the Continent, came to this
city with his menagerie; and found that he
had made much greater advances in the educa-

who, in fact, did nothing more than play and

You should only see when he entered tho cage of
the great savage hyRna, with what commanding
no took all sorts Of liberties with the
formidable brute, how he snatched away the meat
thrown to him, and would not allow him much
ciOus animal was obliged to open his jaws to their
full extent; Advinent then placed his head be-
tween them, and in this position he fired pistol
close to the ear Of tho hyrna. The slightest

wound at least. So far was any thing Of this
kind from happening, that the spectators could
not help noticing what pain the animal took to !
keep his teeth apart lest he should hurt his mas
ter. The same trick Advinent performed with
The tiger, powerful and beautiful creature. He
did not indeed take the meat from him, but would
not let him cat it, and laid hold Of his fore-legs
md made him jump and dance on the hinder just
IS he pleased.
The tiger was extremely graceful in all his at
itudes, positions and motions: hence a Young
ady Of this city took q fancy to make n dra wing
Il him from nature. Accordingly, in the morn
elf before the cage Of the tiger, fixed her lovely
eyes upon his face, and waited till he had assumed
fine attitude or position, nay, when he had lain
lown and curled himself up to sleep, she allowed Z
10 rest, but made the keeper rouse and ter him.

but he became more gentle, and Z

In ten days she had drawn him in five differ d
1t positions. Having finished her work, she col d

'imal. Adics, Gdics, moncaer Hassan, jc fe re-
creic 5ien, said she, and away she went. Hae- Il
q looked after her till she reached the door, and
en- lay down to sleep, which he would be- in
re have done on any account; for he was really c.
liant towards his fair visiter. a

the following morning, about nine o'clock,
