HERR DRIEsCACH AND HIS LION.
The Galena (Ill.) Courier publishes let
ter from a correspondent in Potosi, Wis,
who says :-"Tired of this intinerant and
Benedick life, about three years since, the
Herr took to himself one of the most intel.
ligent and amiable of the Buckeye daugh-
ters, and removed to this place, where he
had purchased himself beautiful farm, and
where he has retired to cultivate the earth
and make for himself pleasant home.
Since that the Lion Tanner has visited Du-
buque; and the editor of the Express of
TINT city gives the following interesting re.
coguition
"Last evening We, with two companions,
walked up street with a worthy farmer from
within one mile of Potosi, Wisconsin, who
talked about his pigs, geese, and ducks
and with what success he titled his farm.-
AS an instance of his successful till, he sta
ted that he sold the product frou fifty feet
square of his farm, of which he kept an &C.
count, for forty-three dollars. Hence it may
be seen that this farmer, Herr Driesbach, has
some skill as well as pride about his farming.
Our chief object in taking this walk was
that the Herr desired US to witness meeting
between himself and the old pets Of the me-
nagcrie, which he had not seen for more than
year, and which, Of course, we were most
anxious to witness, to see whether time, trav-
el and change had obliterated from their re-
collections their old master On entering
the canvass, which was before the audience
began to collect, Herr desired US to stand
before the cage of the Bengal tiger, he re-
naming at the door the while This tiger,
from some old sore, had just as old grudge
against him, as in days of yore, and managed
to give marked demonstration of the fact
This cage was selected for the first test of
recognition. While we were stationed i'm
mediately in front, Herr came sauntering
along earelessly, habited in a farmers cos
tune, and as he neared the cage the tigers
eyes began to glisten with great brilliancy
as they bore directly upon him, and at the
same time, low cultural growl began to
raise in his throat, which burst out in fe-
rocious howl as he leaped at the bars to get
at him as he passed by. This experiment
was tried several times with the same result,
and when at length Herr spoke to him, his
rage knew no bounds, leaping at the bars,
he dashed his paws out to tear him, and only
ceased when his old master walked out of
his sight.
1.-The next place we were desired to re-
move to, was the large cage containing o
large lion, two lcopards and lioness. We
mention them thus as it is the order they
stand in the cage, it being divided into apart
mepts. AS Herr approached this cage the
lioness caught sight of him, and her eyes
beamed with pleasure, while her tail wagged
in glad recognition. On his coming up to
her she appeared frantic with joy, and when
he spoke to her and presented his face to
the cage, she kissed him, and placed her paw
in his hand with all the air of an intense af.
fection.
"Indeed, while he was in her presence,
she did not know how to control herself, but
would lick his hands while he attempted to
pat her, roll over, reach out her paws to him
and press her nose between the bars as
though she would like to have had a closer
presence. While Herr was talking to the
lioness, the old lion in the other end of the
cage began to get jealous and grumbled, for
he too had recognized his old friend. Herr
said to him BILLY getting jealous p and then
walked up to him, when the creature crowd
ed against the bars to get closer to him if it
were possible, and kissed his face and licked
his hands with as great demonstrations Of
delight as the other. The leopards, too, in
the same cage knew their old master, and.
watched him as they lay with their noses
close to the bars with evident pleasure, and
seemed highly pleased as he spoke to them.
In all our days we do not recollect any exhi-
bition that gave US SO much satisfaction as
did this meeting of old friends, and while
we watched them in their congratulations,
we could not make up in our mind which
was the most delighted, Driesbach, to know
that he was not forgotten by these affection
ate creatures, or that they were once more
in his presence. While we were watching
Herr and his old companions the crowd be-
gan to gather in, and our companions and
self departed highly gratifed at the result"
