THRILLING INCIDENT. The N. York
Era OF the 2Sth ult., says: f" On Thurs
day evening, as the celebrated wild beast
performer, Driesbach, was performing
with his animals at the Bowery Theatre,
the Leopard and the Tiger volunteered an
extra incident to the performance by reg
ular set.too while Driesbach was in the
cage with them, which came near costing
the latter his life. Driesbach had sue
ceeded in separating the combatants, one
Of which, the Leopard, he caused to leap
upon his shoulders, when the Tiger made
spring upon him, also, and buried his
teeth and claws into the unfortunate ta-
mer's face and head, tearing off a portion
OF his scalp, decorating his face in most
shocking manner, and covering him with
blood. The indomitabe courage and ad.
dress Of the heroic German, however, was
never more conspicuously displayed than
upon this occasion; and so effectuslly did
he subdue the enraged animals, even
while In the most imminent peril. that
some part Of the audience were no. aware
of the extent Of the accident"

The Wings are for the distribution

measure that has ever been broachet
since the foundation of our Government
Did not every democratic State in tht
Union, EXCEPT where the lands lay, advo
cate it at the beginning, in 1882? Does
that look like federal measure?
Judge Jack Robinson, an ultra demr

wonder how Buchanan, fancy, &c. vii
compare with that pure republican, Jack
Robertson, in democracy.
The Wings are in favor Of Henry Clay
for the next President. Well, if Henry

not democrat when he introduced his
resolutions to acknowledge he indepen'
dence of the South American Republics,
even before any other man in our coun-
try dared to breach the subject Was
he not q democrat when he did the same
thing for Greece, when other men feared
the interference Of foreign powers? In
fact, has he not always been democrat,
republican, even since his boyhood,
when he carried his mothers corn to mill
in The slashes OF Hanover, before he emf
grated to Kentucky, "poor, penniless, and
without the favor of the great, " and
where, by his own exertions, he raised
himself to be the greatest man in our
country? F Henry Clay be not Dem,
ocrat, or rather, pure Republican, by
birth, by education, by his whole political
course, and by his truly simple and re-
publican life and manners, where on
earth will you find one? And yet he is

When they took up General Jackson,
