ESCAPE FROM A TIGER.-On the evening of

gazing at Q leopard in Batty's menagerie, now
exhibiting at Understood, she sauntered within
reach of the tigers den when one of the ferocous
animals thrust forth one of its paws through the
wires, and seized her by coil of plated hair be-
fore the crown of her head. Fortunately a wo
man. Of slender frame, but of heroic fortitude was
standing by, and saw the tiger seize its intended
prey. This woman, with extraordinary presence
of mind, seized the girl by the waist, and. not
withstandmg the terrific growing of the beast.
maintained her hold and pulled with masculine
vigor The tiger still retained its grasp and roar
ed and plunged terrifcally. At this moment the
struggle was fearful one The people inside the
menagerie set up shouts of alarm, which COM
municated with the crowd outside, and produced
a scene which may be better imagined than des-
cribed. AT length the comb dropped from her
hair, the coil unfnrled, and the young woman was
rescued. leaving the tigers paws full of her hair
and silk handkerchief which she had thrown over
her head when the tiger seized her The unfor-
tunate girl tainted, but soon recovered again. and
we are happy to add, without having sustained
any injury beyond the fright and loss of about
handful of hair.-LeedS Itteligeacey
