Adventure in Southern Africa.

On our route homeward, we halted at
epot where novel scene once occurred, and
which was described by an individual who
witnessed it when boy Near very small
fountain, which was shown to me, stood
camel thorntree 1t was stiff tree, about
twelve feet high, With fiat, bushy, top
Many years ago, the relater, then boy,was
returning to his village and having turned
aside to the fountain for drink, lay
awoke by the piercing rays of the sun, he
saw, through the bush behind which he lay,
giraffe, browsing at ease on the tender shoots
of the tree, and, to his horror, lion, creep
ing like cat, only dozen yards from him,
preparing to pounce on his prey. The lion
eyed the giraffe for few moments, his body
gave shake, and he bounded in the air to
seize the head of the animal, which instant
ly turned his stately neck, and the hon, miss
ing his grasp, fell on his back in the centre
Of the mass Of thorns, like spikes, and the
giraffe bounded over the plain. The boy in
stantly followed his example, expecting, as
matter of course, that the enraged lion would
| soon find his way to tho earth. Sometime
afterwards, the people of the village, who
| seldom visit that spot, saw the eagles hover
| ing in the air, and as it is almost always
certain sign that the lion has killed his game
or some animal is lying dead, they went to
the place, and sought in vain, till coming
under the tree, their olfactory nerves direct
ed them to where the lion lay dead in his
thorny bed. still found some of his bones
under the tree, and hair on its branches to
convince me of what scarcely could have
credited. The lion will sometimes manage
to mount the back Of giraffe, and, fixing
his sharp claws into each shoulder, gnaw
away till he reaches the vertebre of the neck
when both fall, and oftentimes the lion Is
lamed for his trouble. If the giraffe hap
pens to be very strong, he succeeds in bring

Three Men sufocated in a Well.

Three brothers, Merlin, Charles and Al
len Mead. living at Cross River, in the town
of LewisborO' Westchester county, about
five miles from Katonah Station on the
Harlem Railroad, were suffocated in a well
on Tuesday. Merlin, who was a bachelor,
and Allen, who was married, lived upon the
homestead Of their father, which they own
cd together, and Charles possessed n farm
which lay adjoining.
On Tuesday, Merlin took q pail, and in
company with one Of his nephews. went TO n
well at a barn-yard, few hundred feet from
the house. This well was not ordinarily
used, except in winter time, and was kept
eoverd with boards He removed these, and
in endeavoring to draw out some water, lost
the pail Then he descended into the well,
sustaining ghimselfupOnthe stones with which
the wall was made Before reaching the
water he slipped and fell The lad who had
come with him ran to the house and gave
an alarm. Allen rushed to the well and
hurried down it to rescue his brother from
drdSning.
When he had gone about halfway to the
water, he slackened his speed, and set his
feet firmly against the stones on each side of
the well. His arms he also placed in the
openings betweenthes stones. Almost imme-
diatey his head dropped forward, and he
became insensible; but his limbs were so
braced and stiffened, that his body remained
suspended. The terrified womenand children
could. of course, do nothing to aid the dead
or diving men. As soon as possible the 9TH
er brother, Charles Mead, was called. He
said he would go down and take out Allen,
who, he thought, must be still alive. The
women, now convinced that the air in the
well was so poisoned that it would not sup
port life, begged him todesist. He insisted,
however, saying that he would enter the
well. and if he found that ne could not help
his brother, would return Immediately. SO
fastening to his leg rope which he intended
to tie around Aliens body for the purpose
Of hoisting it out, he stepped into the well,
and quickly but carefully descended. He
had hardly reached the place where the
body was, when he made an effort to come
to the surface, but his strength was insuf-
ficient and he fell. BY this time all the
members of the two families were assembled
at the well, and the scene was one that need
not be described. In the confusion boy, q
relative of one Of the men, rushed to the
well, and in spite of the resistance of the
women, got himself in the mouth of it, but
he soon felt the sitting effect of the air, and
started up in time to save his life. After
ward the three dead men were dragged out
with hooks. The funeral took place on
Wednesday, from the homestead. The
brothers were much respected, and were pos

COMMUNICATIONS.

MEssRs EDIFoRs We, fellow-soldiers,
IN response to the call of our country, I'M
PEELED BY patriotic motives, left our homes
and friends and went forth to the field of
battle. to endure all the privations and suf-
ferings incident to soldiers life, to aid IN
putting down the rebellion and restore the
Union. The rebellion was put down, but
has the Union been restored No and
why not ? because the present Rump Con-
Rress, from selfish motives, aud in order to
secure the perpetuation of their party IN
power. have labored necessarily to prevent
It Now if we wish the Union restored
upon terms of equal rights and justice to
every State, let us, with united voice and
action. by all honest means in our power,
remove from power the party which now
rules. or rather misrules, and place the
reins of Government In the hands of men
of right principles, men who will take the
Constitution and Laws made IN accordance
thererith as their guide, and therefore, let
us earnestly labor TO secure the election of
Hon. HESTER CLYMER and all other NOM

support President JOHNSON III all his no
bic efforts to restore the Union and man

Congress Photographed by the
n. Y. Herald.

The New York Herald, now that Congress
has adjourned, thinks few pictures
should be taken Of it-small and large-to
pcrpetuate It's remembrance with the peo-
pie We reproduce some of the smaller
ones BY looking at them the members of
Congress can see their own likeness in min
iature, and the people can see what sort of
Representatives they are cursed or blessed
with Here they are:
A PERSONAL JoB.-Congress demands
retrenchraent in the departments, and raises
the compensation of Members TO five thouS-
and dollars per session.
4 CoNTENPTIBLE JoB-ConCrnss cuts
of the bounty to poor soldiers, raises the
salary of members to five thousand dollars
per annum, and squandcr5 over two hundred
and fifty millions uselessly.
A SLY JoB.-Congress proposes TO fund
the National debt and sell surplus gold, al
lowing a percentage for the business to out
siders, and raises the pay of members to
five thousand dollars.
A Down EAST PEDAGoGUE JoB.-Con-
gress proposes to 4 Bureau of education at
a cost of five millions per annum, and in
crease the pay Of members to five thousand
dollars per session.
CONGRESS- meanly cuts off the salary of
Minister HARVEY, because he wrote n pri-
vatc letter in defense Of the President, but
increases It's own salary, earned only by
abusing the President
CoNGREss is going to pay itself higher
salary for keeping the Union dissolved.
CONGRESS- votes to pay itself more mon
ev for remaining in session to legislatc against
the peonle and in favor Of Radical Office
holders.
A CRACKING JoB.-Congrcss raises the
salary of its members to five thousand dol
lars ncr session, and compels the Govern
mcpt to nav the National banks thirty mil
lions ser annum in the shape of interest on
Government bonds, for the privilege of hav-
ing Treasury-notes and legal-tenders super
ceded as currency.
CoNGREssNiEN have evidently made up
their minds that they Will not be reelected,
and are stealing all the money they can.
a VERY SERIOUS JoB.-With revenue
of over two hundred millions above what Is
demanded. Congress piles on taxation by IN
creasing the tariff and internal revenue tax
thirty-eight millions and raisesthe compen-
sation Of members to $5, 900 per session.
CoNGREss. havingrobbed the public treas
rrv in every other way, now makes direct
prab at the greenbacks by an increase OF sal
aries.
A CHARITY JoB.-CongTess raises the
soIarv Of its members to five thousand dol
lars ner session, and gives seven millions IN
one lump for another great charity hum
hup called the Freedmen's Bureau.
BAD JoB.-Congress raises tho salary
Of its members to five thousand dollars per
session, and proposes to lend Mexico thirty
millions of dollars, the revenue of that
country being collected by French officers to
satisfy French claimants.
CONGRESS- votes to increase its own salary
but defeats the Bankrupt Bill, designed 20
relieve poor debtors.

A Girl in Male Attire.

It was whispered around several days ago,
that fair damsel Of some sixteen summers,
encased in gray pants, linen coat, boots, and
soft hat, had made her arrival in Des Moines,
and was creating quite sensation among the
b'hoys. In fact it was reported that, in
company with lot of lads, she refreshed
herself one after noon by bathing in Coon
River. BY some mysterious process, I'M
known TO Dobbs, it leaked out that she was
not all she seemed to be; and so the Mar
shall considered it his duty to arrest her, and
have her lodged in Jail until such time as the
Mayor should have an opportunity to give
her hearing. She was accordingly captur-
ed, and brought into the presence Of Mayor
Cleveland.
At first she was inclined to be reticent in
her remarks; In fact, she refused to open
her sweet mouth, until the Mayor intimated
to the officer that no had better return with
her to the calaboose. She became frighten-
ed, and then in answer to questions, she said
that her name was Emma Hammond; that
her parents lived in Ottumwa; that she had
been seduced, and had donned male attire in
order to give effectiveness to her pursuit of
the betrayer She told pitiful story, but
failed to impress anybody with the idea that
she was opposed to seduction en- principle,
seeming, on the other hand, rather pleased
with the Establishments of vice. She was
sent back to Jail, toawait the action of friends,
if she has any, at Ottumwa.

bly, scared the other day. She was brush
ing the dust from the hearth of cooking
stove in which was full fire, when an cnor-

denly issued from hole in the stove door,
full in her face. A succession of screams
brought the feminine portion of the house
hould to the kitchen, and the mother dis
patched the sarpint, which was charging
about the room and writhing in great pain.
1t seems that basket of chips had been
scraped up the previous evening, and mo-

tied a portion of them in the stove, and
with them went the snake.

NEVER TOOK APApER.--While travelling
through this county last week, we came
across a man who believed it a sin 70 patron
ize newspaper. He told us that paper
never entered his house-that hisgrandfath-
er never took one-that his father had lived
all his life without one-and that he had
done frstrate without one. We passed his
house, and was satisfied of the truthfulness
Of his story. His home was ricketty, torn
doNn affair, his fields were worn out, his
fences were tumbling down, and his children
would have been surpassed in neatness by a
litter Of young wolves. The man himself
was woful specimen Of humanity. He had
become SO accustomed to sitting and looking
at nothing on rainy days and evenings that
his eyes had a vacant stare. On making in
quiry we found that mono Of the family for
generations back had ever known how to
read. And yet this man is q citizen, He is
permitted to vote, and Is not disqualified
from holding Office. For the sake Of human
ity We hope that such men are seldom to be
seen in this county.
