not till they a-e two years old that they
can kill horse or bull with one bite
While their education is thus in prog
ress. they are ten times more ruinous to
the Arabs, since the family does not con-
tent itself with killing the cattle required
for its own consumption but kills that
the children may learn how to kill. At
three years old the children quit home
aud set up for themselves, becomeing
fatlers and IN others in their turn. Their
places are occupied by another brood.

very different in size, aspect, and dispo-
istion from the lions to be seen in me-
nageries and geological gardens-animals

indication OF the size attained by lions

THE TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN
THE ISTHMUS.
Full Particulars of the Accident.

STATEMENT By ALFRED L. ARMSTRONG, ONE OF THE
| INJURED PASSENGERS.
Alfred L. Armstrong, of Oquawke,
Ill, the only person returning to New
York in the George Lap who was Oh
the train to which the accident occur
red, has furnished our reporter with the
accident:
I left New York in the George Ian
| on the 2lst of last April, and, with the
steamers passengers, was landed at As
pinwall, to take the railroad thence to
Panama. We arrived in Aspinwall on
the lst of May, and were to take the
morning express train of May 6, in or
der to connect with the steamer on the
Pacific side.
A baggage train left Aspinwall at 7
A NJ, preceding the train which was to
carry the passengers. There were eight
or nine baggage cars in the train, filed
with the baggage of the passengers. The
engine of this train at Obispo Bridge,
thirty-one miles from Aspinwall, ran off
the track There was only single track
here, and it being impossible to raise the
engine from its position off the track,
the cars had to remain as they were
bloekading the track. The engineers
and brakesmen worked several hours,
erecting a platform, with the view of
getting Ap the engine, but to no pur-
pose. As they failed in this, and could
not communicate with either terminus of
the road to announce the accident, they
placed sentinel to guard against being
run into by any other trains, and thus
waited.
At A. NJ an express train Left AS
pinwau with the cabin passengers of the
George Lar. This train was composed
of baggage car and nine passenger cars.
The passenger cars were all filled with
passengers Each car contained about
eighty four passengers. Phs engine of
this train did not work we'll. and the en-
gineer was, in consequence, forced to run
the train off on switch at Matashin,
about a mile and half before reaching
Obispo Bridge, when the accident to the
baggage train occurred.
te3 A NJ, half an hour after the
departure of the first passenger train, a
second passenger train containing the
steerags passengers, left AspinWall.-
This train was also long train, and con-
tained nine passengers cars, besides the
baggage car. Upon crossing up to where
the first passenger train lay switched off,
the train stopped, and being informed of
the first disabling trains engine, as also
of the accident to the baggage train at
Obispo Bridge, it was decided, with the
of the last passenger train,
to take the two trains and proceed to Obs
po Bridge. The first passenger train,
accordingly passed the switch, after
which it backed to take the train that
was switched of. The disabled engine

He OUTPOST
THE MYSTERY sOLvE7
A Tale of Frontier Life.

Towards the close of the latter part
of the year i75l, the French, aided by
vast bodies of the Huron and Iroqu lis
Indians, had begun to make themselves
very disagreeable neigh bors to the Brit
asa and American co,onists in northern
Virginia, Ohio, and the northwest por-
tions of New York State-the French,
by their encroachment on the frontier,
and the Indians, by their numerous for
ays and savage barbarity to all who
were unfortunate enough to fall into
their hands.
To put. = stop to these aggressive pro-
ceedings, numerous bodies, both of the
areguiars . aud the colonial militia,
were dispatched to the several points
assailed, and among the rest, Col. Hen
~ Ines, with company of some dozen
Virginia rifeman, was ordered to occu-
py snail outpost, or q log fort, which,
at this period, stood within few miles
of the north fork of the Allegheny river,
Having arrived safely at their quar-
ters, the little company set about right
ing the old post. to make it as comfort
able as circumstances would permit; and
this being done, and order once more
restored, senfries we're placed at all the
advanced points of the station, while the
Strietest vigilence was both enjoined and
= exercised by day and night.
Among the Virginia riAemen who had
volunteered into the company was tall,
manly, fine looking young fellow, who,
frcm his fatal and unerriSSg skill as a
markswan, had received the somewhat
awe inspiring aew de plume of " Death. y
But with whatever justice this name had
been applied to him for his skill, his dis
position certainly entitled him to no
such terror-spreading epithet. 0nthe
contrary, he was the very life Of the
company.
His rich fund of mother Wit, large So
.cial propensities, and constant good ma
sure, rendered him general fayorite
with the men; while the meyer falling
stock of game which his skill enabled
him to supply the mess table of the off,
GERS with, not only recommended him to
their good graces, but caused many a
little "short coming" of lis to be Einked
at and passed oyer in silence, which, 9TH
erwise,, perhaps, be might not not have
got oyer 80 easily.
The company bad not been stationed
at the fort much more than week or
tH9 ere Death, ip one of his excursions
for game discovered that at small farm
. house some three miles or so distant
from the fort, there lived certain Miss
Hester Stanhope, whose equal in beauty
and amiabls qualities, he had never seen
before. And to render himself still

the disaster. did not get the names Of
any of the killed or wounded. None
but steerage passengers were injured.
Two young men in company with my.
self, and occupying the seat directly in
front of me, were instantly killed. Tbeiu
names were VIM. MoMillen and james
Crawley, of Rocheater, New York. The
former leaves q wife and two children.
I learned that all the brakenen on the
train were killed. Over eight hundred
persons were on the train. OF these I
should presume that three hundsed we're
killed and seriously wounded.

to inform you, that our hero, and prom
ising veteran. and General Morgan, of
revolutionary notoriety, were one and
the same Individual.
About fortnight after this eVentful
night, Stanhope farm became the scene
of as much mirth, good eating and dane
ing as could possibly be disposed of du-
ring the twenty-four hours; and, though
we think it superfuous to do SO, we will
add that the cause of this merry max
ing, was the marriage of the beauteous
Hester Stanh ope with lieutenant Nor

And looks up and laughs at me,
Like a sweet face. rosily;
Like an actual color bright,
Flushing from the papers white;
Like q. bridge that knows her power,
Startled in her SUNNI er bower.
If the rains that do us wrong
Come to keep the winter long,
And deny Us thy sweet looks,

Love thee In the poets pages,
Where they keep thee green for ages
Love and read thee, as lover
Reads his lady's letter over.

There is May in books for ever
May will part from Spencer never;

Where she sleeps with nymphs and elves
In happy places they call shelves,
And will rise and dress your rooms
With a drapery they call blooms

But come, rather thou, good weather.

The Rail.
BY JOHN HoNEYwKLL.

BY JOHN HONEYW WILL.
I met him in the cars
Where resignedly he sat
His hair was full of dust,
And SO was his cravat
He was Furthermore embellished
By a ticket in his hat.
The conductor touched his arm,
And woke him from nap.
When he gave the feeding flies
An admonitory slap,
And his ticket to the man
In the yellow lettere cap.
So. launching into talk,
We ratified on our way,
With allusinns to the crops
That along the meadows lay
Whereupon his eyes were lit
By speculative ray.
The heads of many men
Were bbObing as in sleep,
And many babies lifted
Their voices up to weep,
While the coal-dust darkfey fell
On bonnnets in a heap.
All the while the swaying cars
Kept rumbling Ger the rail,
And the frequent whistle sent
Shrieks of anguish to the gale,
And the cinders pattered down
On the grim floor like hail.
When suddenly jar,
And thrice-repeated bump,
Made the people in alarm, l5
From their easy cushions jump;
For they deemed the sound to be
The inevitable trump.
A splintering crash below,
A Adoom-foreboding twitch,
As the tender gave lurch
Beyond the flying switch,
And q mangled mass of men,
Lay writhing in the ditch.
With a palpitating heart
My friend essayed to rise;
There were bruises on his limbs
And stars before his eyes,
And his face was of the hue,
of the dolphin when it dies,
= was very well content
In escaping with my life,
But my mutillated friend
Commenced legal strife;
Being thereunto melted
By his lawyer and his wife.
And he writes me the result,
In his quiet way, as follows:
That his case came up before
A bench of legal scholars,
5Yho awarded him his claim
OF So, 500.
