A MENAGERIE 0vERsRr-WILD casts
IT LARaz.-A singular accident hap
pened, on the 25th ult., at dayoreak, on
the Mobile and Great Northern
road, some thirty.six miles above Ten
sas station, between Mobile and Merid-
ian. A portion Of the train, containing
a menagerie, was thrown off tho track,
and two track cars, containing four
cages, in which were the royal Bengal
tigress, tho hyena, two bears and the
tapir, were thrown of, the cages smash
cd, and the animals released. Two
| other box cars, containing t~wenty-six
horses and ponies, shared the misfor-
tune, the horses being piled together
and upon each other in utter confusion.
Only n was killed, however, and sew
eroi others suffered Commissions. The
Mobile Register states that the animals
released did no damage to each other,
with tho exception that one of the bears
killed a fawn. The tigress and one Of
the bears at first manifested q hostile
disposition towards each other; the
bear assumed au upright position and
stood upon his guard in regular fistiana
style, and when the striped beast came
smelling around him, a cuff or two was
exchanged, which seemed to satisfy
both parties. The bear amused himself
by ascending some Of the ncighboring
trees, aud the tigress roamed about the
neighborhood, showing no disposition,
however, to go very far away. They
were all re-caged without difficulty.
The accident occurred on q high en-
baukment, but the couplings Of the rear
cars that remained on the track pre-
vented the others from rolling entirely
to the bottom.

CoycErr.-Hardly anything is more
contemplate than the conceit which
rests merely upon social position-ths
conceit of those who imagine they are
divorced from the clay of common men,
of those who shrink with horror from
the idea of work, as something which
degrades by its very contact, and yet
who, very likely, owe their present posi-
ton to some not remote ancestor, who,
recognizing his call to work, lived more
honestly in the world than they do, and
was not ashamed of soiled thumbs. 1t
is one of the mcanest things for people
to be ashamed OF the work from which
they draw their income, and which
glorifed their ancestors more with their
soiled aprons and black gowns than
themselves with their fine ribbons and
flashing jewelry. It might be q fine
thing to be like the lilies, more glori-
ously clothed than Solomon, and doing
nothing, if we were only lilies. Ad-
vautageous position is only u moro en-
phatic call to work and while those
who hold the advantage may not be
compelled to manual drudgery, they
should recognize the fact that manual
d~rudgery may be performed in the same
spirit as that which characterizes their
own work, and therefore that it is equally
honorable.

MARK TwAIS's TURKISH LuNcH.-I
never want another one. The cooking
apparatus was in the little lunch room
near the bazaar, and it vas all open to
the street. The cook was dirty, and SO
was the table, and it had no cloth on
it. The fellow took q mass of sausage
meat and coated it round n wire and
laid it on q charcoal fire to cook. When
it was done he laid it aside, and a dog
walked in and nipped it. He smelt it
first, and probably recognized the re-
mains Of O friend. The cook took it
away from him and laid it before us.
Brown said, "I pass" Heplays euchrc
sometimes; and VIC all passed in turn.
Then the cook baked broad, fiat wheat
en- cake, creased it well with the aus
age and started to bring it to US. 1t
dropped in the dirt, and he picked 1t up
and polished it on the seat of his breech-
es and laid it before us. Brown said I'll
pass" We all passed and called q new
deal. He put some eggs in n frying
pan, and stood pensively prying slabs OF
meat from between his teeth with q fork
| Then he used the fork to turn tho eggs
| with, and brought them along. Brown
said, az pass" All followed suit We
| did not know what to do, and so we or
dered q new ration Of sausage. The
cook got out his wire, apportioned q
proper amount Of sausage meat, spit on
his hands, and fell to work. This time,
with one accord, we all passed out. VIZ

about Turkish lunch. Turkish lunch
is good, no doubt, but it has its weak

pERsuAsIoN AND COERCION.

-
II is a cardinal fact well established
both in social as well as political usage,
that a r u American, mar or woman,
will always stand more coaxing than
driving. You can persuade them will
fully into any sort Of humbug, but when
YOU attempt to force upon them, or COM
mel them to adopt social, po-
~litical, or religious, it matters not OF how
apparently meritorious a character, q
spiri, of belligerent contrary m%indedism
arises within them aud they quietly re-
iect, or openly rebel.
There never was as much drunken
ness before, among the Down casters as
existed while the " Maine Liquor Law"
was in force. 1t VAS an attempt to
drive people to abstain from o favorite
beverage, and the effect was as nigh.
have been expected: the Yankees
wouldn't stand it. That particular bev-
erage they would have, it mattered not
at what risk or expense, by fair means
or foul even raising riots over the mat
ter. They would stand no more of
home coercion than they would of Brit
ish domineering.
National political issues have been
forced upon portions of tho people, emf
nontly just and right, yet as they were
forced, so they were resisted, and al
though impelled at last to yield to a
mightier power, yet it was with au i'll
grace, and aversion which still contin-
ues, Notwithstanding tacit submission,
and apparent acquiesencs. "a mar
convinced against his will, is Of the
same opinion still" Time, judiciou:
treatment, and correct educational en-
lightenment, however, will produce the
desired effect, and eventually cause uni
versal justice and right to prevail.
So, too, in religious matters, although
more real moral and ecclesiastical CO.
ercion may be used in bringing sinners
to repentance thar in any other of the
clements controlling society, yet Amer
lean human nature desires as little o
despotism, ever in that respect as pos
sible, utterly refusing to have the grace
of God rammed down their throats, Of
to submit to the supreme dictum Of any
one man or Sc. of men, as far as reli'
gious teachings or progressive spiritual
wisdom are concerned. Sunday laws,
compelling men to rigidly observe GER
tain straight-lacsd lines of conduct, are
invariably sought to be avoided, or ut
terly kicked aside. Threaten q man
with coudign punishment for the
performance OF some specified act, and
he is sure to begin to consider the pol
icy Of taking chances on it. 1t is easier
and better far, to persuade men to be
good for the sake of being good, than
to be eternally threatening them with
hell-fre and infinite domination as a GER
tain consequence to the popular idea OF
what constitutes SHINING. Our people
are especially sensitive to the words
"You shall, or you shan't" and desire
as little of them as possible in matters
not necessarily criminal, or inherently
bad. They are willing to make almost
any sacrifices to proper requests, but &c
threats, never. That's human nature,
