HoRRID FATE OF A LION TAMER.--
A foreign journal relates that French.
man named Soulages, has for some time
past been exhibiting, with great success,
at Wurtz5urg, as a lion tanner On the
4th of August he entered den con-
tanning a lion and lioness, and made
them go through various performances.
The spectators loudly applauded. Ella
tedaby these plaudits, Soulages deter.
mined to do something more extraordi-
nary and for that purpose he collected
in one den a lion, lioness, white bear,
two black bears, four byenas, two wolves
and a tiger. He then entered himself
whip in hand but the door was scarcely
closed when the tiger made a spring al
the white bear. This was the signal fol
terrible struggle between all thu
beasts, who appeared at once to recover
all their natural ferocity. Soulases
hoping to intimidate the animals, fire.
two pistol shots at the iger and whit
bear. This act sealed his fate, for tn
tiger, leaving the bear, sprang on hi
keeper, threw him down and began t
fear him with teeth and claws. Tn
other beasts, made furious by the SINE
Of blood, all fell on the unhappy mar
and in a few minutes he was torn
pieces, and almost entirely devoured, i
the presence of the horror-struck spe,
tators, who were powerIeSs to render a
sistauGe.

SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

....
Into ward Of the wbitewashed halls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, she'll aud balls,
Somebody's Darling was borne one day
somebody's Darling, so young and so brave,
Wearing yet bis pale, sweet face,
Soon TO be hid by tho dust Of tn e grave,
The lingering light OF his boyhood's grace.
Matted and damp are the chris Of gold,
Kissing the snow Of that fair young brow,
Pale are the lips Of delicate mould -
Somebody's Darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue.veined brow,
Brush all the wandering waves Of gold,
Cross his hands on his bosom now,
Somebody's Darling Is still and cold.
Kiss him snce for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from Its fair mates take,
They we're somebody's pride, you know
Somebody's hand hath rested there,
Was 1t mothers soft aud whitef
And have the lips of a sister fair,
Been baptized In their waves Of llght1
God knows best he was somebody's love
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn on the wings Of prayer;
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for him
Yearnng to hold him again to her heart;
a,
And the smiling, chld-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
Somebody's Darling slumbers here'

Wives and Husbands.


With a wife comes a certain loss of
freedom, which is irksome to willful ma
lures. This a man who is a very
short sighted creature) never thinks of
until after the object of his love is his.
Waking thoroughly to the conscious
ness that he is married man, he finds
in his house person who has an abso-
lutte claim on his attention, his time,
his affec and his service. He is
surrounded by new conditions. All his
movements must start from a new cen
tire. Mr.. Jones before marriage could
harness his pony and drive wherever
impulse might direct; but Mr.. Jones
after marriage is obliged to remember
that Mrs. Jones lie in the house and
would like to accompany him-a fact,
considering the way towards which the
pony's head is turned; and the old COM
pauions who live on the way, that is
not wholly agreeable to Mr.. Jones. A
new item comes into all his calculations
Mr.. Jones is double instead Of single.
Mr., Jones life which was once a skein
of silk has become stick Of twist, and
the strand which be once contributed
cannot be separated from its fellow
withouta snarl. Mr.. Jones finds him
! self tied to Mrs. Jones for life, also
finds that certain freedom of move
ment which he enjoyed before marriage
cannot with propriety be enjoyed after
marriage. This troubles Mr.. Jones {
ye little. He has half a mind to rebel
I, What business has woman to interfer,
with him? Perhaps he rebels with
whole mind. Thousands do, aud b
the failure to adapt themselves ration
= ally to their new conditions, inaugural

Absorption in business and profess
e, ional pursuits is, perhaps, the gran
cause Of estraDgement between maj

ssSY sa wing that "tobacco is the ctomb

Itis hard, if not impossible, for tV
great passions to live 10 the heart at Il

Inconsistency.

The Bogus Democracy appear to be-
greatly exercised in their minds, these
times, lest the colored men will, by some
means, be allowed to vote, and thereby
become their equals; for it would seem
to be an admitted fact with them that
voting would make the dreaded "nigger
equality" Possibly they are right. It
may be that it is necessary to hold them
down by legal restrictions to keep them
from equaling, or exceliug such Demo-
Gratis; but do not their fears on the
subject give the lie to the doctrine of
the 9Th resolution of their Columb bus
platform, lately adopted, which reads as
follows:
Resolved, That the 6xpericrce Of
four thousand years has demon
strsted that negroes are not equal TO
white men, and all attempts to place
the mon footing of equality, politically
and socially with the whites, ever have
proved and ever will prove injurious
to both races.
1t appears TO us that, if they take
this declaration of their platform to be
true, and of course they do, their fears
of "nigger equality" are groundTess
even if all legal restrictions were taken
away, and the black man given ar
equal chance with his white ueighbol
to rise if he can. We would modestly sug
gest to those Of our Democratic breth
rem, who are so soreIy afflicted with ne
grophobia, that II looks both cowardl,
and inconsistent to resolve in soIemr
convention that the negroes care no
equal to white men" and then cry lust
lily to the Constitution 10 continue {
, hold them down, lest, perchance, the
might rise to an equality with then
i selves rClinton Republican.

Death in the Wall.

The Peoples Journal of Health has
an article with this fearful title, which
is an attack on double layers Of wall
paper. The writer says : A good
clean paper is certainly more pleasant
to the eye than fssured and smutty
wall, whose scales of lime are continu.
ally peeling off, and soiling every gar
ment that comes in contact with it,.
And if a proper selection of paper is
made and there be no other lining Of
similar stuff beneath it, it is not only
more pleasant to the sense, but it is al
N ost equal to the whitened wall. But
here is the difficulty. AS a general
rule, o ne coat of paper is put on over
another, as the last gets too much soiled
to look well, until several layers cover
the original surface, thus often pro
ducing an actual cause Of disease.
1t is a safe rule to choose patterns OIL
wall paper without green Colors, especi.
ally those heavy greens which so please
the eye for they contain an active
poison, inimical to life, and it is Away
highly improper to place one paper ovel
another. Better submit to the dirt anC
annoyance of haVipg the last and soilet
paper removed, than to expose your
selves TO ths chances Of disease an
death through its retention"
