LIVE FREIGHT FROM THE RED SEA

An English paper gives the following account
of the lie freight which was brought by the
steamer Ripon from Alexandria to Southampton.
in addition to the East Indian Embassy described
in our last paper.
"The Rpon brought home collection of bird
and beast from Ethiopia, Abyssnia, and othe.
parts of the world. There were fine young
hon and leopard, wild hog, pair of pelicans.
three eagles, gazele three lynxes, two musk
horns,) a number of kangaroo rats little larger
than English mice, of very light brown color.
and remarkable for the length of their hind as
compared with their fore legs several Cashmere
goats, wild cat rather larger than domestic
one, marked like leopard, with a beautiful head
There were also number of venomous serpents
and gigantic lizards; several of the cobra capelIas
were as big round as a mans wrist. The
beasts, birds, and reptiles, were attended to by
several grim and picturesque-looking Arabs and
Abyssinians, many of the former with large
grisly boards. Among them were two African
serpent charmers; one of the latter was lad.
strange little shriyeled-face fellow, who caused
much amusement by his comic manners, his gro
tesque dress, and daring handling of the beasts
and reptiles. In each of his ears were two
brass bed-cUrtain rings, his trowsers did not
reach below his knees, ard he !. ore par Of
large Wellington boots. His legs and boots an
peared like two mahogany posts in pair of
leathern buckets. He played with, and teased
the most savage of the beasts and reptiles, with
the most daring lntrepidity; but the most extra
ordinary performances of this youthful charmer
were with the venomous serpents, at the request
of the Admiralty agent; and for the trifing back
sheesh of silver sixpence, for which he made
profound and slave-like salaam he exhibited his
power over the serpent tribe to the writer of this
notice when he went on board the Ripon, in
Southampton docks.
He took out the cobra copeas from box
iondled with them, kissed their heads and mouth
held them in his mouth, irritated them apparent
~ TO madness by scratching them on the back
and even suffered them to bite him without expe
rlenclng any apparent injury. 1t was singu-
lar sight TO see one of these serpents irritafed
standing firmly on small portion of his tail
while the body was forming graceful curves
and ii was preparing to spring opon the bow with
Its mouth open and its tangs quiveling.
The gratest curiosity, however. brought bv
the Ripon was the Hippopotamus. The one
brought home in the Ripon is male specimen.

ed both boiled and raw. A number of cows and
