How THE LION Woos HIS BRIDE. Let
us first sketch the story Of the Lions life
beginning with his marriage, which takes
place to vard the close of January. He was
first to seek his wife; but as the males aro
far more abundant than the females. who
are often cut off in infancy. i. is not rarc
to find lady pestered by the addresses OF
three or four gallants, who quarrel with
the aceribity OF jealous lovers. Ii one OF
them does not succeed in disabling or driv-
ing away the others. Madam, impatient
and dissatisfied, leads them into the pres
encc of an old lion. whose roar she has ap-
prcoiated at distance. The lovers fly 1T
him with the temcrity of youth and exas-
pcration. The old fellow receives them
with calm assurance. breaks the neck of the
first with his terrible jaws. smashcs the leg
OF the second, and tears out the eye Of tho
third. No sooner is the day won and the
field clear. than the lion tosses his name in
Tho air AS he roaSs. and then ,crouches by
the side Of the lady, who, rs !. reward for
his courage. licks his wounds caressingly.
When two adult lions are the rivals, tho
encounter is more serious. An Arab, per-
chcd on a tree. one night. saw u lioness fol-
lowed ~ a tawny lion. with full-grown
name she lay down at the foot of the tree
the lion stopped on his path and seemed
te listen. The Arab then heard the distant
growing Of lion. which was instantly re-
piled to by the lioncss under the tree. This
made her husband roar furiously. The dis
tant lion was heard approaching. and as he
came nearer the liouess roased louder which
seemed to asitate her husband, for he mar
ched toward her as if to force he, to be 81
lent, and then sprang back to his old post
roaring defiance at his distant rival. This
continued for about an hour. when a black
lion made his appearance on the plaiu.-
The lioness rose as if 10 go toward him ::
but her husband, guessing her intention.
bounded toward his rival. Their bones
cracked, their flesh was torn. their cries OF
rage and agony rent the air. and all this
time the lioness crouched and wagycd her
tail slowly in sign of satisfaction. When
the combat ended and both warriors were
stretched on the plain. she arose. s,nclt
them, and satisfied herself that they were
dead and trottcl off quite regardless Of the
complimentary epthct.- Westminster Re

HphTOBY CORRECTED.

In his speech before the Republican State Con
yention of Massachusetts, delivered at Worcester
on "Wednesday, the Hon. Charles Sumner said that
though tie invention Of what Is called Popular
Sovereignty is attributed to Mr. Douglas, its pater-
nity really belongs to G. n. Cass, who first put 1t
forth in bis Nicholson letter in 1ol8. 10 this Mr.
Sumner adopts the claim of Gen. Cass himself,
though he does not give the earliest date at which
the General fixes his pretended discovery. Ac-
co,di, 70 let ,er of Gen. Cass TO friend of his,
dated at Detroit in August 1855, he fist publicly
announced this famous doctrine in an article in The
Globe of March ], 1882. This however, is stretch
ing the point entirely too far no doubt smart d.
alectician might, BY proper effort reason gllm
meripg of Popular Sovereignty out of that article;
but the idea does rot appear at that tine to have
had any thing like distinct existence ia the mind
Of its iilustrious author.
Amber claimant Of this invention is the Hon. ID.
S. Dickinson, who formally asserted his pretenslons
at pubic DIM er in this city, in june 1850, when
he said that h. had embodied the principle in some
r. somtions which he offered in the United States
Senate in December, Is47. But 10 our judgment,
DeltHtT UtI. Cdss, ncI Nh biCnihsoh, noi jOH AA
Douglas, is justly entitled TO the credit such as it
mey be, of originating the doctrine Of Squatter
Sovereignty as the proper way of governing the
Territories. The real author of that doctrine is
Mr.. ISAAC BUTTS of Rochester, the editor of The
Lnios and Adrertiser. Mr. Butts first stated it in
February, 1o47, year and a half before the Mich
vls, letter; and stated it then with a force and
posityeness which Gen. Cass was far from desiring
to emulate when he sat down TO write that famous
epistle.
The subject is perhaps not one of very great
consequence in itself; the great fact about Squat
ter Sovereignty ia its connection with the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise and the jugglery of its
pretended application in the organization of Kansas
AID Nebraska. Nevertheless, it is best to be accu-
rate even with the subordinate facts Of history;
ind We have accordingly taken the pains to set
this matter tight before the public.
