THE CHILD AND THE TIcER.-The Courri-
or du Nord relates the following curious in
cident, which took place few days ago ut
the fair of Yalenciennes, where, among 9th
or exhibitions for the amusement OF the
public, there wasa menagerie Of wild beasts
One Of the children Of a wine shop keeper,
named Gambler, on approaching the count
er. saw crouched under it an animal which
looked at him very tixedly. Papa. cried
the child in alarm, ''come here quickly; there
is large cat with long tail and wh!skers."
Before, however, NJ Gambler could come
the animal rose and took refuge behind some
barrels, where it could better conceal itself
1t was then discovered that the animal, IN
stead of being cat. was a tiger cub. In
the meantime, the proprietor OF the mena-
eerie had discovered the escape OF the AMI
NAL, which, finding the door of It's cage open,
