Drei$bach and his Tiger on a
Steam Boat.-On Wednesday last,
Herr Driesbach, the celebrated tanner
OF wild beasts, received at Evansville
a telegraphic despatch TO come to
Cincinnati and bring with him his ,let
the great Brazilian Tiger, one of
tha most ferocious animals ever
tanned. Herr, according took dou-
BILE berth on the steamer Julia Dean
putting down the names on the clerks
book Herr Dreisbach' first berth,
Col. Alexander, (the names fferr
gives the old Tiger second BERTH
Herr ren arked that the Colonel was
a queer old fellow, accustomed TO
sleeping out, and had wlthal a pecu-
liar iancy--he would sleep on moth
ing but strawl The chambermaid
took away the bed, and replaced it
with full supply Of that article
BUSINESS and preparation went on.
Just before the last bell, Herr and the
tiger made their appearance in the
capn opposite the state room door.
The clerk hearing an unusal stir in
the CABIN, opened his office door, and
looking down the cabin, spied the
giarlng eyes and savage body of His
Royal Majesty! He recognised Herr
Driesbach, but did not relish the an
pearance of Col. Alexander Still
he did not feel like ordering the par
ty ashore He felt repugnance to
that undertaking and concluded TO all
low things to take their wonled
course. Herr unlocked his state
iisem door, and His Majesty, at a
bound, was on his straw bed.
After little time spent in amang-
lqg the state room, Herr satisfied the
clerk and others that his pet was en-
tmely under his command, and init
mated TO the bar keeper that bottle
OF brandy would be relished by His
Royal Highncss, (or himself which
was brought into the state room by
the trembling waiter, who had for
gotten to bring with the liquor the re-
quslte accompaniment--pure water.
As punishment, Herr told the tiger
to take the corner, which he did,
ana stepping quickly out locked the
astonlshed boatnan in, while he went
Tor the water, The man was SO
frightened that he spoke not, neither
did he move till Herr returned and
stated to him that he need have no
tears as the tiger would keep his
place until HE ordered him 10 rise
When night came, Driesbach locked
his state room, bid His Majesty good
night, and ,ee't to bed an the uppe,.
berth, and the happy couple had a
good and peaceful nights rest On
arriving at our wharf Col. Alexan-
der showed his appreciation of the
boat by giving two or three growls,
interpreted as approbatory by Herr,
and the party sought hack, which,
when found, happened to be driven
by a son of the Emerald Isle.
AT the first sight the driver utterly
refused to take the lgtste, but was per
iectly willing that Driesbaeh should
be accommodated. His fears were
allayed, however, by the tiger Jump
ing inside, and he drove to the Den
msson House; but Dennison reso
itnely refused to allow His Royal
Majesty to take rooms at his hotel,
and Drlesbach was obliged to take
rooms fof his friend at Woods Mu-
