strange noise made by tiger, who SEEM

inquire the cause of so singular display
of feeling which he remarked, became
more boisterous the nearer he approached
the animal. The keeper replied that The
behavior Of the tiger indicated either that
he was pleased or annoyed. Upon this the
sailor again approached the den, and, after
gazing at the tiger for few minutes during
which the animal became frantic with
seeming rage, lashing his tail against his
sides and giving utierance TO the most
trightful bellowings, discovered the tiger
to be the same animal brought TO England

The affection of the animal was now shown

heartiest satisfaction, and when the honest

HOW THE COUNTRY PROSPERs
WITHOUT A BANK.

In the days Of the United States Bank
we used to hear much about the irregular
ity of the exchanges, the want OF specie,
and the general depression OF business
created by these two difficulties. And
when the Democrats were endeavoring to
rid the country of the great financial mon.
ster. no other sounds so continually grated
the ears as declarations of the impossible
ity of carrying On the business of the peo-
ME without a national institution to ''reg-
ulate the exchanges" and give US a "sound
currency" These were standing argu-
ments 10 favor of a bank, and they were
the great levers by which public opinion
was to be moved to repudiate the Demo
cratic policy, and give the Government
into the hands Of the Wings. How often,
then, have we heard the complaint that
without national bank, the exchanges
would be so irregular and the balances Of
trade SO decidedly against us, that all the
specie which could be had, would be sent
to foreign countries! Now witness the
result! View the falsity of those Wing
predictions! The bank has been dead
irretrievably dead-for more tnan two
years; and trade and business learned how
to regulate themselves, as the Democrats
all along commended they would, as soon
as the bank should be out of the way, and
they could have fair field. More than
twenty millions Of dollars in specie arrived
in this country between the first of Janua
ry and the middle Of May: while two per
cent. discount, according 10 the New
York Courier and Enquirer, the leading
bank paper in the Union, has been the
greatest difference of exchanges between
New York and New Orleans! This is
the effect of the Democratic policy =
What can the poor Wings say to III Nc
wonder that National Bank has become
an "obsole,e idea" A high tariff for
"protcction" must soon meet the same
fate. The great pillars Of Whigery are
at last crumbling under the tottering mass,
and soon there viii be nothing left but 8
shapeless heap Of Wondering ruins.
