A Split Lion

The male lion in Van Amburg's Aensee.
RE 10 said to be the largest animal of kind
in America. He is one Of the leading at.
fractions of the establishment, and always
excites the curiosity and admiration Of ali
who see him. He met with an accident at
Terre Haute. Indiana, the other day. which
would have resulted fatally but for the
promptness Of Mr.. Van Amburg. Some fel.
lows, who had been employed to assist tn .
regular hands in putting up the canvass,
thought that they would have some fun
with the monarch of the foresst," and &C
cordingIy commenced punching him with
sticks. This excited the lion. but he made
no demonstrations Wishing to hear him
roar, the brutes spit tobacco juice in his
eyes. This thoroughly madened him, and
his frenzy was terrific. He tore from one
end of the cage to the other, bowling and
grinding his monster teeth with rage.
The fellows we're frightened and fed
One OF them climbed up the center pole.
The lion made q tremendous dash sgsinet
the cage bars-they gave sway-he cleared
the cage with D0und-and sprang tor the
affrighted wretch on the pole. It the blind
ness of his rage the lion missed the man,
striking his own head against the pole and
splitting himself from head to tail 1t was
done os evenly as though he bad been saw
Ell by an experienced mechanic. The uproar
brought Mr.. Van Amburg to the spot. The
emergency required promptness. This was
no time for reflection or argument. SEEKING
the cleaved parts Of the lion the great
tanner clspped them instantly together.-
They stuck and the lion was soon restored
to consciousness. But imagine Vans ago

Klrkwood Correspondence.
Iron the State GAxette.1

lfrom the state GAxette.J
We have for long time suspected
that secret correspondence was on
foot between leading Republicans in
this city and Kirkwood. Our de-
tective" has been on the trail for sever
al DAYS and as the result of his labors,
we are able this morning to present to
our readers short extract or two
from one OF the letters, which is rather
rich
DEAR KIRK. AS l promised you
when in town few weeks since, |
have kept my eye constantly npon the
debates between yourself and Dodge.
You will allow me to repeat what l
had occasion to say to you at orr last
interview. You must not allow him to
draw you into discussion on the
Popular Sovereignty question. That
question must be kept out of the can
vass. You cannot assign any reason
which will be acceptable to the rable
why the people Of the territories should
not have the same right to make their
own laws and regulate their own
domestic institutions for themselves, as
the people of the States. We have
more to fear from that question than
any, perhaps all others. LIS energies
we're aroused here on Saturday even
ing last. Clay Dean made one of his
characteristic speeches in Marion Hall,
the house was crowded to the utmost
Of its capacity, Democrats, Know
Nothings and Republicans, all turned
out. Republicans went there out of
curiosity, but ] am told that when
Dean alluded to the doctrine of popu-
lar sovereignty, or mentioned the name
Of Douglas there were great demon
STATIONS of approval in which the
Republicans participated with such
enthusiasm as to create the most seri-
Gus apprehensions on my part. Again
repeat, you must not allow Dodge to
draw you into that vortex.
4
You must excuse me if suggest to
you what perhaps your own good
sense has already suggested, that in
many respects you have great advan-
tage over Dodge. You have for at
least Twenty-Five years Of the most
active portion Of your life been a
working man in the Democratic party.
This at least gives you the advantage
OF knowing the enemy with whom you
are to contend. This you know is a
great point in military affairs and is
equally advantageous in political war
fare. ...-..#...... ........
You have another advantage which
he cannot reach. You have taken ell
