upon weak and wicked men in high sta

HoSoRs TO TRArroR.- Buchanan
has appointed John Hart, formerly cdr
tor of the Charleston Mercury, Superin-
tendent Of Public Printing. Mr.. II. is q
disunionist, and to that extent, a traitor.
He may be, personally, an honorable and
estimable man-indeed, it is said that he
is such-but he hates, abhors, despises,
and detests the Union Of the States, and
has done all that he could to bring about
a disruption. He is as much an enemy
to his country as VIM. Lloyd Garrison,
or any other Northern fanatic, who has
become notorious for lack Of patriotism.
Yet Mr.. Buchanan offers premium to
treason, by thus rewarding q traitor; and
Mr.. Hart, though despising his country,
is willing to accept his country,s Offices.

Z An AMIABLE AMUSEMENT OF THE LIoN.-Among
the numerous fearful stories which Jules Gerard the
French lion hunter, regales his readers, we find the
following description Of trait in the character ofthe
king of beasts:
The lion treats man very differently from any ami
nal that he is accustomed to kill for food. 1.-The kills
person who has fired at him he never eats the body.
II he meets in his nightly promenade man well
clothed in burnous his experience shows him that he
is not a marauder, and he may either kill him for
food, II the fancy happens to take him, lie will kill
him by fear, little by little, just as pastime.
In the lirst case he will give him barely time
will crush his head with single bite, instead of
strangng him as he is accustomed to do with other
animals.
In the second case, he sometimes will bar the pas
sage of the unfortunate fellow by lying down before
him. and then he will walk along by his side, purring
makes believe to 60 away and leave him alone and
then making long detour he will conceal himself
along the path and charge at him with roar Some.

VICTIM who gives himself up for lost, hut the tanta-
lizer only knocks him over with his paw, OF, walking
fail from his muscular tall At last the victim sue
cumbs to the agony that is greater than thousand
deaths, and dies fyery fear.
These pastimes Of the lion, that as one can well
imagine have never been told by the victim himself
are reported by his comrades, who, having been in
company, sought safety by flight, by taking refuge
on rocks or trees, while the poor soul that cap
tnred, too much frightened to initiate their example,
died before their eyes OF terror while they could do
nothing for his relief but pray to the Prophet who
only heard when il was too late to save
These attacks SO horrible in their fascination, have
given certain sembance of proof to the universally
accredited belief in the magnetizng power Of the
