A Tiger Frightened by a Mo use.

Captain Basil Hall, in his &c Fragments of Voya.
ges and Travels" gives the following anecdote of a
tiger kept at the British Rcsdency at Calcutta: But
what annoyed him far than our poklng him it'll
stick, or tantalizing him with shns of beef or leg
of mutton, was introducing mouse into his cage
No fine lady ever exhibited terror at the sigh,
OF spider, than this magnificent royal tiger betray
ed on seeing mouse. Our mischievous plan was to
tie the little animal by string the end of long
pole, and thrust it close to the tigers nose. The
moment he saw it, he leaped to the opposite side
and when the mouse made to run near him, he
TANNED himself into a corner, and stood trembling
and roaring in such ecstacy of fear that we were
always obliged to desist in pity to the poor brute
Sometimes insisted on his passing over the spot
where the unconscious little mouse ran backwards
and forwards For a long time, however, we could
not get him to move; till at length, believe by the
help Of squib, we obliged him start; but instead
Of pacing lo;s"raly hs don nf max ing a de-
tour to avoid the object of his alarm, he generally
took kind of flying leap, so high nearly TO bring
his back in contact with the roof of his cage.

The Illinois House of Representatives

The Illinois House of Representatives
organized by electing THOMAS j. TURNER, of
Stephenson County, Speaker. There is a U =.
S. Senator to be elected, this session, in
place of tho gallant Con Shields Promi-
nent among the fusion candidates for that
Office is Gen. LINCOLN, elected member Of
the House from the Sangamon District;
but, who, shortly after his election resigned
for the purpose Of being candidate; but
it seems he counted without his host
When the returns of the special election
had been received, it was found that friend
of Gen SHIELDS had been returned from the
District and as the fusiOnists before had
only one majority on joint ballot, this of
course, puts the "boot on the other leg"
and we may confidently expect that Gen.
SHIELDS will be reelected to the Office he
has so ably filled.
