A TAKING SoLDIER.-A correspon.

The Habeas Corpus in Illinois.

Judge Drummond, ol the United Ststes
Circuit Court at Chicago, in the applica-
ton of minor for writ OF AaebeaS cor
p,lS which came before him few days
ago, decided not to issue the writ on two
grounds
"First-That under tho law Of Congress
of 1862, special provision is made that the
oath of minor enlisting into the service,
wherein he swears to his majority, shall
be as binding as though he were of age;
and
"Second-On the ground that the proc
lam aIion of the President suspending the
writ of habeaS corpus in such ease had
superseded his judicial funetions."
At the same time, Judge Drummond, in
giving his decision, characterized the law
Of Congress and the proclamation spoken
of as "trick and outrage which not only
destroyed the liberty Of the citizen, but
deprived the parent Of his right to ths cus.
tody Of his child" Judge Drummond
has hitherto acted with the party which
placed this Administration in power

THRnLING ADvENrURE.-James Dor

thrilling adventure ono day last week.
lie had been away on business, and, re-
turning on foot, had reached the middle
of the bridge which spans the river above
that city, which he was startled by tho
sound of an approaching train. The night
was dark. n heavy rain had made the
crOss-ties very slippery and insecure. To
run he dare not-to jump was certain
death; with wonderful presence of mind
he locked his arms around one of the ties,
and swinging off between the rails he hung
suspended in md.air until the train had
passed over. The train having passed
Mr.. Dorling righted himself aud went
home, but the shock to his nervous system
prostrated him.

tural Sciences, in whose halls may be
found at this day some skeletons Of lions,
tigers, and other animals, famous in their
day.
In the subdivision of labor one man
takes charge of four cages, to clean, feed,
and attend upon the wants Of the occup-
ants. The fesh.eatng animals are fed
but once a day, aud not at all on Sundays.
The monkeys and other small animals are
fed twice a day. The elephants seem to
browse all the day long, None but good
beef is fed, and it must not have the slight
est grain of salt upon it, Water is given
iour or five times a day. A full grown
lion eats from ifteen to eighteen pounds
of meat per day. An elephants rations
are three hundred pounds of hay and two
bushels Of oats per day when he is travel
ing when standing still he gets no oats,
but an additional hundred weight of hay.
The elephants lie down when they 20 to
sleep. Two barrels Of water mosten
each elephants daily hay.
When an animal falls i'll it is doctored.
The mysteries Of a lions phySic must be
sacred here. They belong to his faithful
master and attendant, who knows, by the
experience Of more than seventeen years,
what will best restore his rounded form,
his glossy coat, and his easy breathing.
Not unfrequently animals bring forth
young. Some dozen Of lions have been
born in this country, but only very few
live to cut their second set Of teeth. There
is now in cage on the right hand side a
lion of good size born three or four years

day will quell him even when he is most
furious. Lions generally produce three
or four at litter. Two cunning little
leopards, on the left, are natives of Wis.
consn. They are not bigger than cats,
but already scratch and fight "as It's their
nature to-" They even quarrel with their
mother for her raw meat. They receive
only cooked meat, and occasional rations
of beef broth.
Until they are two months old they can
not be exhibited, on account of the jealousy
of tho mother, who sometimes kills her
young in her frantic efforts to get them out
of the way when strangers are staring at
them she will pick them up in her mouth
and fling them against tho back of the
cage to get them out of sight. For thi:

cubs without too great agitation,
