French travellers in Africa reported the eTis-
tence OF a negro tribe with tails. Lately,
Count de Ca,tenan, the explorer of South
America, well known and highly esteemed in
the United States, communicated to the Geo.
graphical Society Of Paris the result OF some
personal inquiries at Bahia, which seem to con-
firm in a measure the direct report:

midst Of a host Of negro sIaVcs, aud thought it
possible to obtain from them Information Of the
unknown parts Of the African continent. !

tracted my notCe-One was mddle-agcd

Who paid no attention to any living being
on board, except a huge Newfouudlauu
dog. that was painting or lOlllng out his

showing them out Of the way, or frightening
children, by suddenly covering their faces
with one lick of his great tongue, and con.
vincing nervous ladies that he was going
mad. by the vigor with which he stuck Out
his legs while rolling the deck His mas
ter eyed these pranks with sly smile and
seemed quietly to enjoy the terrors occa
stoned by the antics of his burly friend
The other person whom l specially noticed
was a very pretty and well dressed lady

called, but that she had with her a little
girl, about seven years old, who called her

Fearful Revenge of a Swiss Girl.

A beautiful girl named Adelaide Zwert,
was engaged to be married to a young
Chamoise hunter, named Carl BIgner, to
whom she had long been tenderly attached.
The marriage day was fixed, bnt Carl found
means to postpone it, and the year passed
away-his promise being still unfulflled.
His evident unwillingness at length awak-
ened suspicion in the mind of Adelaide.
She became Jealous and distrustful, and
narrowly watched all the movements of
her lover, until proof was no longer want
ing that her place, in his heart was filled
by another, and that Carl only waited a
plausible pretext to break with her alto
gether.
The young girl vowed revenge-and fear
fully did she keep her VOW.
Having seen some gun cotton in the hands
of young druggist, by whom she was pas
sionately, though vainly, loved, and whose
constaEcy and devotion merited better
recompense, she succeeded in obtaining
some from him-without, of course, giving
him the slightest hint of the use she in.
tended it for. 1t was in appearance ex
actly like ordinary wadding. Carl was q
great smoker, and she had often remarked
that sparks from his pipe had burned hole:
in large woolon scarf, which he was accus
toned to wear around his neck during hi'
hunting expeditions on the mountains.
Adelaide knit double scarf, into which
she introduced aquantity of the gun cotton
and this Internal machine" of her con
struction, she presented with many demon
strations of tenderness to her faithless lover
having obtained in exchange, by way o
souvenir, the old scarf he had been accus
| toned to wear.
Chance favored Carl for some time bu
one evening he did not return from thl
chase, next day passed, and he did not ap
pear. His family alarmed, at his 0nwonteC
absence, sought him in different direction
on the mountains, where they at length
found him a lifeless and disigured corpse
burned in the most shocking manner
Numerous traces around indicated tina
death had been slow coming, ard that tn
unfortunate victim had struggled long in hi
agony,
Adelaide, on learning how fearfully sh
was avenged, was seized with remOrse, an
Immediately gave herself up to justice
making full confession of her crime.

TaH PRAIRIE FIRE.
BY JOHN PIERPoNT.

The prairie FIRE At midnight hour
The traveller hears it roaring by,
A form Of terror and OF power,
That walks the earth and licks the sky.
The wild deer on its gassy bed,
Wakes from his dream Of breaking day.
Listens and lifls his antlerd head,
Snuffs the hot blast and bounds awcy,
Yet, when spring comes fOwery belt
Across the prairie's bosom thrown,
SAYS that wheTe'er that flame was felt,
1t left behind jeweled stone.
But there's fire, along whose track,
Spring never scatters flowers in bloom,
But all is desOlate, and black
As midnight in hopeless tomb.
Alike upon the low and high
Falls this " strange FIRE )" it feeds and preys
On Beauty's cheek, in Wisdom's eye,
And melts down manhood in its blaze.
And youth and age--its power is such
Blossoms and fruit alike are burned;
And every virtue, by its touch,
h hshnveled, and to ashes turned.
Queuch, mighty God by thine own power,
BY love and tFutf;'with spring and well,
With sire ans and cisteTn, food and shower,
In mercy quench thisfTe Of hell

How life like, through the mist Oi years,
Each well remem bsTed fees appears;

From each To each kind looks are cast
We hear their words, their smiles behold,
They re round rs as they were Oi old
We are sll here.

Retort Courteous.

A Russian lady, being engaged to dinner
with NJ. de Talleyrand, at that time minis.
ter for foreign affairs, was detained full
hour by some unexpected accident. The
famished gu ests grumbled, and looked at
their watches. On the lady's entrance, one
of the company observed to his neighbor
in Greek, "When awoman is neither young
nor handsome, she ought to arrive betimes. "
The lady, turning round, sharply accosted
the satirist in the same language: When
woman" said she, has the misfortune
to dine with savages, she always arrives
too soon."--N. Y, Observer.
