THE LIONS ROAR.-As the lion obtains his

the success Of his hunting, IL seems strange that
bis voice should be OF such a nature as to in
spire with terror the heart Of every animal
which bears It's reverberatlng thunders. Yet il
will be seen, that the creature could find no aid
90 useful as that o: bis voice. II the lion has
been prowling about during the evening hours,
and has found no prey, he places his mouth

which rolls aloug the ground on ell sides, and

Tha Grave OF Rachel.

Hon. Jas. s. Brooks, OF the New York Express
pays fitting tribute to the memory and virtues
Of the "Mother Of Israel'-of Rachel, whose
name associated with the noblest qualities Of
womanhood, has foated down the stream Of
time, breaking over the barriers Of nations and
rsces, preserving always its purity and fixing
itself 50 deeply In the affections Of the world, as
To become the type Of female truth, wherever
the God she adored 10 worsbIpped among men.
He thus writes Of her grave:
Upon my return to Bethlehem, rode by the
tomb Of Rachel-a small building with q whten-
ed dome, and having within 1t high oblong
monument, built Of brick and succeed over.
The spot Is wild and soitary--and not tree
spreads its shades where rests the beautiful
mother Of Israel. Christian, Jew and Moslem
all agree that this is just the spot where Rachel
was buried, and all unite in honoring 1t. The
Turks are anxious that their ashes may rest
near hers, and hence their bodies have been
strewn under tombs oil around the simple grave
Of Rachel. The sweet, domestic virtue Of the
good wife have won their love and admiration,
as the tomb OF Absolem. near the brook Of Ke-
droD, their detestation--upon the latter they
throw Q stone TO mark their horror Of the DISC
bedient, while around the former they wish
when they die, their bodies 10 be inferred.
Nor is this wonderful. The wife worth four
teen years. service as q shepherd must have
been worth having. The whole life of Rachel
is, indeed, one of the most touching in Biblical
history. The sweet shepherdess has left her
mark upon the memory Of man. as well as her
tomb. The tribute to her is the tribute to q
good wife, and inhdel, and Jew, and Christian
all combine to pay II. The great women Of
the earth--the Zenoblas and Ceopatras. have
died, been buried, and their place Of burial been
forgotten--but TO this day stands over the
grave Of Rachel. not the pillar Jacob set up, but
modern monument 10 It's place, around which
pilgrims from every land under the sun gather,
10 respect and reverence for the faithful wife
and good mother 10 Israel.

CoLoRKD MILITIA correspondent Of the
Northern Telegraph, writing from Harrisburg,
Pa, says;
We have . negro military company In our
place. Their evolutions are novel, unique, and
entirely unknown to military men. Instead OF
thirteen inches between breast and back they
take about twenty inches, for the reason
that they are not able to face about in time, on
account Of their very large feet. They pafaded
few days ago, carrying their muskets TO
manner which would have made Sabbatarlan
tremble for bis life. In wheeling to the left
they few of from their guides, causing their
Captain (Bennett) to speak sharply to them,
telling them to turn short and quick, and not
"like de hook and ladder macheen." They
carried the American flag at their head, with
the stars down, which offended some Of our pat
riotic young men, who would have taken it
from them; but they, being Informed Of their
mistake. rigbted and moIiied the patriots.
