singularIIies Of Waterson,

The English naturalist, Waterton,
died on the Goth of May, in the Saith
year of his age. from the effects of q fall
while crossing bridge on his large
estate. esquire Waterton," as he was
famililiarly called, though perhaps not
generally known of late years in this
country, enjoyed an extensive. reputa-
ton through England and the continent.
Possessed of family rank and large
fortune, he in youth excelled in the
athletic sports of his time, and follow
ing the bent of his mind, turned his
attention almost wholly to natural his
tory, after completing his collegiate
studies at Stonyhurst. He made repeat
ed visits to South America, and took a
tour of observation through the United
States for the sole purpose ofexamining
the habits and characteristics of Amer
lean birds and animals. AS the result
OF his travels and investigations,h he gave
to the public "Wanderings in South
| America" Essays on Natural History, |"
and contributed numerous articles to
the English magazines on his favorite
topic. Brave, hardy, and fond of ex-
element, he used to meet with numer-
Gus adventures in his travels. Upon
one occasion, while bathing in South
| American river, an alligator suddenly
made his appearance near him. Instead
of attempting escape, he boldly leaped
upon the ANIMALS back, and was car
ried In safety nearly to the opposite
| shore. He was very much opposed to
the forms and customs of society, be-
ieving that the utmost simplicity in
style and dress was most compatible
with maids happiness. ssgsz ;.iw 49,
| In accordance with these views he
labored assiduouslys to make a stole of
his son. 'tDo not avail yourself, he
used to say to him, ''of an artificial fire
to keep warm, but follow the example
of the beasts in the field. They have no
artificial covering. no ranges or stoves to
warm their oEartments, but run about
in the open air, and exercising their
limbs thus beget natural heat when
the weather is cool and uncomfortable.
"Why do you wear hat, my son?" he
would say. ,''The birds of the air do
not thus. Expose yourself to the storms;
harden your muscles and develop your
body; do not discommode yourself by
following the customs of those around
you; if you come to river, plunge in
and swim across, and not take a circu-
itous course to reach q bridge because
your acquaintance DOL Solar did he
push his peculiar views that he used to
encourage his son to roam about his
estate, in boyhood, in nearly nude
state. So says a gentleman here who
used to know him intimately at his home.
Such devotion TO his pursuits of course
made him most eminent naturalist,
and long and skillful practice rendered
him the first bird-stuifer in the world.
Like his ancestors before him, he was a
Catholic and seeing that his end was
drawing near, he sent to the Pope for
spiritual advice and consolation The
Pope sent his blessing in reply, by tele-
graph, just before his death 0d
