MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives qSthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than tho patented lands would be-
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assure
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask TINT the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

2. Pour in sufficient quantity of wa.

A STRANGE MONSTER. One Of the
-trangest Of all strange monsters is that
curious creature Of enormous size, called
a Sea Tiger, that came from Europe In
the Humboldt last week, and is now to
be seen at all hours at Barnum's Mu-
scum. 1t has head much resembling
that of dog, with large, round, brilliant
and gentle eyes. II has capaclous WINS
kers, and glossy coat. When spoken
to in French, by its master, 1t answers
him, as if it tried also to speak French
and performs, at his wish, many singular
tricks. A curiosity like this has never
before been seen in this country.

The following is good recipe for ma
King hre>klndlers, by which much trouble
may be saved:
Take quart Of tar and three pounds
OF rosln, melt them, bring to a cooling
temperature, mix as much sawdust with
little charcoal added, as can be worked
in; spread out hot upon a board when
cold, break up into Jumps Of the size of a
large hickory nut, and you have, at small
expense, kindling material enough for a
household one year. They will easily
ignite from a match, and burn with a
strong blaze long enough to start any
wood that is fit TO burn. If thrown on
the top of a gate full Of coal they will
kindle fire in very short time and
without any trouble.

No man should be delicate about asking
for what is properly his due. If he neg.
lects doing so, he is deficient in that
spirit of independence which he should
observe in all his actions. Rights are
rights, and, if not granted, should be de-
manded. The selfish world is little in
ciined to give one his own, unless ne have
the manIiness to claim it. The lack OF
the proper ful6llment CT this principle has
lost 10 many, fortune, fame, and reputa-
ton,

A ride on the back of a Hyena

y
DR.. Sparman tells curious story of a
hyena which was told him at the Cape Of
Good Hope. One night the soldiers had
a feast near the Cape, when one OF them
who was trumpeler, drank so much thai
he could not stand up. His companions,
not wanting him in the room, carried
him out of doors and laid him down be-
side of the house, TO get cool and sober
The trumpeter lay there and went TO sleep,
when hyena came along, and thinking
dead, began to carry him away, SO as to
make meal of him without being dis
turbed. 1t was some time before the
man awoke SO as to know the danger OF
his situation. When he did so he found
himself on the back OF hyena, who was
making off towards the mountain with
him as fast as possible. Being horror
str ok at finding himself in the power of
the ferocious beast, his fear brought him
to his senses, and seizing his trumpet
which hung around his neck, he sounded
an alarm. The beast thinking he had
only dead man was as much frightened
at the sound of the trumpet as the man
was at his situation, so dropping his prey,
they scampered away from each other as
fast as possible. 1t is not probable that
any other man but the trumpeter would
have escaped so easily.
