bach, the celebrated tanner of wild
beasts, received at GAINESVILLE a teie-s
graphic dispatch to come to Cincin-
natl and bring with him his pet-
the grea. Brazilian9tiger, one of the
most ferocious animals ever tanned.
Herr, accordingly, took double
berth on the steamer Julia Dean.
putting down the names on the
Clerks book Herr Dricsbach' first
berth, Sol. Alexander (the name
Herr gives the old tiger) second
berth. Herr remarked that the Co.
lionel was queer old fellow, accus.
toned to sleeping out;' and had,
withal, q peculiar fancy-he would
sleep on nothing but straw! The
chambermaid took away the bed, and
replaced it with full supply Of that g
article. Business, and preparation
to start, went on. Just before the
last bell, Herr and the tiger. made {
their appearance in the cabin oppo-g j
site the state-room door. The Clerk
hearing an unusual stir in tho cabin,
opened his Office door, and looking
down the cabin, spied the glaring
eyes and savage body Of His Royal
Majesty! He recognized Herr Dries
bach, but he did not relish the appear
ance of Col, Alexander! Still he did
not feel like ordering the party ashore

taking, and concluded to allow things
to take their wonted course. Herr
unlocked his stat room door, and His
Majesty, at 3 bound, was on his straw \
bed. d -

room by the trembling waiter, Who +;
had forgotten to bring with the liduce
the requisite accompaniment--pure
water. As saspnnishment, Herr told
the tiger to atake The corner" which
he did, and stepping quickly out,
locked the astonished boatman in,
while he went for the water. The
man was SO frightened that he spoke
not, neither did he emove till Herr re-
turned and stated to him that he
need have no fears, as the tiger would
keep his place until he ordered him to
rise. When night came, Driesbach
locked his state-room, bid His Males
ty good night, and spent to bed III the
upper birth, and the "bappy couple
had good and peaceful nights rest.
On arriving at our wharf, Col. Alex
ander showed his appreciation of the
boat by giving two or three growls,
interpreted as approbatory by Herr,
and the party sought q hack, which.
then found, happened to be driyed by
q sod of the Emeral Isle.
At first sight the driver utterly
refused totake the ssbeast," but was
perfectly willing that Driesbach
should be accommodated. His fears
ware allayed, however, by the tiger
jumping inside, and he drove to the
Dennisson House; but Dennisson re.
solutcly refused to allow His Royal
Majesty to take rooms at his hotel,
and Driesbach was obliged to take
rooms for his friend OF Woods Muse.
um, while he returned to Dennisson's,
the nearest and best place he could
hnd. We presume that such ON in-
stance oftrayel has never before been
