A young panther is easily terrified at any
noise, is complete coward at the sound of
firearms, and imprudent in taking a bait,
while with the old ones il is quite the con-
trary. To form a conclusion as to the char
acter of the old by that of the young is,
therefore, as great an error as it would be to
decide on the courage Of a man from that
which he displayed when boy Of ten years
of age. The Kabyles look on the panther q
one Of the most formidable of animals. They
consider it as even more courageous than the
lion, although they admit that it uses more
precautions to SECURE itself from danger.
When tracked it endeavors to fly; but
when it can not do so without danger, it
dashes furiopsly TO the combat, and struggles
TO the last. Once wounded, it never at
tempts to escape, even when able to do so
without danger. Nothing, either by day or
night, passes with impunity within reach OF
panther's spring, when the animal is in its
lair it then attacks men and animals with
out provocation; in word, it leaps on any
thing it sees moving, sometimes contenting
itself with giving a wound with it claws,
which either mains or kills, and then walks
away as if nothing had happened.
A full grown panther will never touch a
dead bait even If it should be paat of some
animal of which it has before devoured a
part, but young one will readily approach
it. The panther never climbs up tree, as
has been enormously stated. An old male
animal of this kind is considered by the
Kabyles as more serious enemy than an
old lion, because, in obedience TO continued
instinct of carnage, and even when not in
want of food, the former kills for the merI
pleasure of destruction, while the latter
when not hungry, seldom does so, unles
provoked, except for the purpose ofiAstruct
ing its inexperienced cubs.

A SpIRIrUALIsT's SHAM EXPOSED Mr..
S., prominent banker of st. Johns,
Mich, somewhat skeptical upon the subject
of spiritualism, prevailed upon a female
"test medium" TO give an entertainment at
his residence. One of the miraculous"
performances was to cause the spirits to beat
uDonsa drum suspended from the ceiling
about six feet from the floor. The medium
sat upon the floor directly under the drum,
two stout men, sitting upon her dress to pre-
vent her from Ascending The drumsticks
were laid upon the floor in remote corner
of the room, and every thing being in readi-
ness the light was extinguished, when, sure
enough, violent beating was commenced
upon the drum, and but for the curiosity Of
certain designing persons, the .test' would
have been unansWerable. At this period Of
the performance the door was burst open
and light was quickly thrust into the
room, and surprising as II may appear, the
medium was standing upon her feet and
| beating the drum at a furious rate. 1t Il

Fredricka Bremen in the CatacOmbs of
ROme-LOve in That Subterrnnean Gem
etery. ...r ..
Fredricka Bremen visited the,Catacombs of
Rome under the guidance of De Rossi, the
archeologist, who discovered the Christian
catacomb of the first century, which was un-
known, or had been forgotten, ever since the
fifth century.
The following little incident is not with
out certain interest;
After about an hours wandering along
innumerable passages, through many chap
els, resembling the last mentioned we ar
rived at the catacomh of the first century.
Before we descended into it, De Rossi called
our attention to an inscription, which is
found often repeated, by the same hand,
upon the walls all the way from the mauso
| leums in the catacomb of Saint Oalixtus, to
the entrance into this of the earliest Christ
ians. A pilgrim had wandered through these
chambers while be prayed for a friend, and
he has inscribed his prayer on the walls, in
these words:
"Sophronidl LiUe thou in GodF'
He appears then to have paused at the
door of the Oldest catacomb and the prayer
now expresses itself in words which show
that he knew his prayer was heard. Here,
in red Roman letters, one can plainly deci-
! pher:
Sophronia dtlOis, ViVe in Deol TH viVis

Exploration Of the Nile-Its Sources Still
q Mystery.

The great Egyptian stream seems still dis
inclined to yield up its long.restrained mys
terry. The limit of exploration on the White
Nile has hitherto been at GondokorO, a town
situated a long distance above Khartoom.
But the italian, Giovanni Miami, assisted
only by his own energies and the most
slender pecuniary resources, has very re-
Gently succeeded in reaching a place called
Galufi, $50 geographical miles beyond Con
dokoro, and separated from the most north
erly point attained by Captain Skeke by e
strip of country only 27o geographical miles
in breadth.
The natives were found to differ greatly
from those below, having the fine features so
often seen on the Egyptian tomb-paintings,
and speaking a Ooptic dialect. They are OF
very warlike disposition, and Miami was
obliged to prepare his few followers for battle
before entering any village. The people
were totally ignorant of any such large lake
as the Nyanza in connection with the Nile,
and asserted that the sources of the river
were at place named Pontiko, lying in the
direction of Mount Kenia. This statement,
coming from within two degrees of the equa-
tor, opens the vexed question again after
everybody had pretty well made up their
minds that the Nyanza was the long-sought
fountain of the Egyptian stream, and were
| only waiting for the return of Captain Speke
| from his present expedition, to fully confirm
| them in this belief.
The success of Miana has been so extraor-
binary that the Viceroy of Egypt has ordered
force of 200 negro soldiers to return with
him to the point where he was obliged to
abandon his attempt and to give him every
| assistance in a continued ascent of the river
In few weeks, no less than four distinct
nationalities will be represented in this

expeditions, namely: the French by that o
Leiean, the English by that of Speke, thu
Germans by that of Heuglin, and the Italians
by that of Miami. 1t will, therefore, during
the year 1861, be the center of Biographies

Description Of the Conjunction of the River
Arve and the River RhOne.

Description Of the Conjunction of the River
Arve and the River RhOne.
The following description of the junction
of the Arve and the Rhone, and the baptism
of the latter in Lake Leman, is by the au-
thortss of the Home and The Neighbors;
Arve flows from the icy sea at Ohamouni,
and is here a tolerably broad, very cold
stream, which winds, roaring with gray, tur-
bid waters, now through sandy fields, now
through fertile highlands around which it
forms for itself deep bays and curves / fol-
lowed the windings Of the Arve for about an
hour, from the handsome stone bridge at the
little village Of Carouge-formerly Savoyan,
now kind of suburb to Geneva-wheD, all
at once, saw standing before me, in an OBJ
lique direction, the lofty ridge of brown,
precipitous eaTth-wall, on which stood beau
tiful trees and couutry-houses, and below
which flowed the powerful Rhone, clear and
of metallic green. blue color; no longer
like the little, milk-white stream, which
saw issuing from the cradle of the snow
field at Grimsel, neither like the furious
river which comes down later from the high
lands, bearing along their melting SHOWS and
masses of earth, rolling stones and timber,
upon its agitated, turbid waters, down to
Lake Leman at Villeneuve. For there, at
the close of the Rhone valley, the clear lake
receives the wild mountain wanderer into
It's deep bosom.
An extraordinary combat then ensues /;
the waters of the Rhone and Lake Leman
struggle together for mastery, but the earth
weighted waves are vanquished; they sink
below the clear waters; the clear waters
become uppermost and the Rhone disappears
in the embrace of the victor. There he re-
poses long in the depths; is freed from the
foreign elements which he has taken up
during his wandering, which have disturbed
his character and his life, and-who can tell
what takes place down in the depths of the
clear lake2 The Rhone has vanished there I;
but he reappears on the other side of the
lake. at Geneva, and then so clear, so crystal
pure and beautiful He has been born anew;
baptized in pure element. The coloring of
the woods and sky have melted together
into his clear water.
This day was cloudy and heavy, yet at the
same time the coloring of the Rhone was
unspeakably translucent and lovely. When
the rapid, gray waters of the Arve hurl them
selves into the Rhone, the Rhone adopts the
more rapid career of that river, but rarely
changes its color and brightness The Rhone
does not become the Arve but the Arve be-
comes the Rhone. The Rhone is the more
powerful nature; besides which, he has
passed through purifying bath--a new bap-
tism. He is calm and clear. Thus he hast
| ems on to meet the new destiny on the soil OF
| France, and receives into his bosom the
Leutb, the Saone, and the wild Durance,
| fertilizing vineya yards along the French Rhone
valley, 10 Avignon, where he abruptly turns
| south, hastens on to the Mediterranean, and
| "speed on, without tarriance, till he castoth
! Himfelfinto his fathers breast and dies"
