A Desperate Conflict Between a Lion and
an Antelope.

DIR. Livingstone gives very interesting
description of fight he witnessed in Afri,
ca between a lion and antelope. The DIR.
and his guides had just emerged from a
narrow dcfle between two rocky hills,
when they heard an angry growl, which
they knew to be that of the q monarch of
the forest" At the distance of not more
than forty yards in advance of them, a
gemsbok stood at bay, while huge tawny
lion was crouched on rocky platform,
above the level of the plain, evidently med
itating an attack on the antelope only a
space of about twenty feet separated the
two animals The lion appeared to be an

was apparently calm and resolute, presen-
ting his we'll fortified head to tho enemy
The lion cautiously changed his position,
descended to the plain and made circuit,
obviously for the purpose of attacking the
gemsbok in the rear, but the latter was on
the alert and still turned his head towards
his antagonist. This maneuvering lasted
for half an hour, when it appeared to the
observers that the gemsbok used astratagem
to induce the lion to make his assault. The
flank of the antelope was for moment pre-
sented to his fierce assailant. AS quick
as lightning, the lion made spring, but
while he was yet in the air, the gemsbol

All imaginable good, and escape from all
possible evils, have been ascribed to educa-

means by which all those were attained

The Mayor Of Boston, Bigelow, few years

and CRIME have recently increased, our iails
IKE our almshouses, however capacious,
Will be scarcely adequate to the imperious
requirements Of society" And, without
