A MAN Attacked by a Llon-A Perform
ance not In The Bills.

Last night, during the performance Of
Messrs. Thayer Il Noyes great circus and
collection of wild animals, frightful acct
dent occurred.
At the termination Of the circus performs
ance den containing four lions was dragged
into the ring. Mr.. Charles White was then
introduced, and fearlessly entered the cage
and commenced performing with these brutes.
The performance consists Of the lions
jumping through hoops, and over barriers,
and concluded with Me. White feeding the
animals raw meat ont Of bis hands. The
performance went smoothly along for several
minutes, when it was observed that one Of
the lions vicious looking fellow, seemed
10th to do his part, and White commenced
Furnishing him with his whip.
This so enraged the beast that he sprang
upon Mr.. White, telling him to the floor of
the cage, and setting hisjaws into his body,
as though he intended to eat the fellow up.
1t was very soon noticed that part of the
programme was being enacted not advertised
an the bills. The canvas vas flled 10 its ut
most many ladies being presast.
Then commenced scene which battles de-
scription. The roaring Of the lions, and the
screaming of women was more than the
stoutest heart could stand. Men who braved
the danger Of the battlefield and saw death
in its every form, turned pale and trembed
In few seconds it was noticed that Nero, a
noble lion, rushed forward 10 the rescue Of
his keeper, and in the meantime Messrs
Thayer and Noyes, with few of their
attaches, rushed to the cage armed with
bars of iron, axes, and everything that was
conveniently near, and commenced beating
tbs brute from his keeper. In this .hey soon
succeeded, and Mr. white WAS taken bleeding
from the lions den, and carried to the Ma.
tional Hotel, where he now lies in very
critical situation.
DR.. Whitbeck was called in to dress Mr..
Whites wounds. His right shoulder is most
horribly mangled BY the sharp teeth and pon>
derous jaws of the excited and furious beast

what Sen. Orant says ~ Gen. Sheridan.
A late number Of Wilkes' Spirit of tie
Times has the following:
In the course Of wisit to Washington
the present week, we had the pleasure Of
hearing remark made BY Gen. Grant, which
we think should be given TO the country
During the period Of the rebellion, II was our
advantage to enjoy the personal intimacy Of
some of the most prominent members Of the
Government, and we have always made il .
point never to repeat any Of the expressions
ELECTED during such intercourse, in the col.
umns Of this paper. There are exceptions,
however, even to the strictest rules and we
propose now to make such an exception in
relation to Gen. Grant; not because be usu~
ally says very little, and therefore the public
are anxious for his opinions but because the
matter We have to state 10 so very worthy of
him, SO just to Sheridan, and for both these
reasons 30 useful to the country, that We do
not think il ought to be withheld. General
Grant, on the occasion We refer to, had in>
trodnced to the three persons who we're pres
ent the subject Of Gen. Sheridan's late dis
patch in relation 10 the Attorney General 4
opinion; and. with view Of jnstifying its
style, explained that il was in the nature Of
personal dispatch to him tnot intended a. an
official response to that opinion), and conses
quently not meant for publication. Never
theless,' says the General q read copy Of
it in the newspapers before received the
original, and l am curious to learn how such
. result could have come about
The General then went on to Say that Sher.
idan's dispatch was almost in the nature of
confidential communication, and that it was
characterized by an easy frankness which was
leading feature Of Sheridan character. He
was, consequently. sorry to see that the pa.
pers we're making such . noisa about it
but attributed this ferceness of the attack in
Louisiana TO the fact that Sheridan was not
in with any Of the rings down there, and
that they consequently hated him heartily,
and therefore fell upon him oil together.
Warming with his subject, General Grsnt
thoroughly understand Sheridan. He had
popularity enough, it was true in fact, all
that man could desire, but not appreciation.
He was much broader man than was gen.
orally supposed. He was usually regarded
merely % brave, off hand, downright 6ght.
or, with not much calculation; but he was in
reality man Of fine Judgment, and fully ca
paple of handling, under any circumstances,
all the armies the United States ever had to.
gether." This waa said with great ANNA.
ton, and after q moments pause, was res
peated with an increased emphasis. The sur
prising generosity of such declaration as
this, from . man who, it would naturally be
supposed, would crave such commanding
glory solely to himself made deep impress
sion on those of us who heard it, and the
childlike earnestness and simplicity with
which the words were uttered, carried the
conviction that they came spontaneously
from big heart and great nature

UNDER THE WOE ETs.
By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Her hands are cold; her face is white;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light:
Fold the white vesgure snow on snow
But lay her where the vloless blow.
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
4 slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here maiden lies
In peace, bene tn the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees Of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circIing shadow round,
To make their scorching sunlight dim
That drinks the greennes IS from the ground
And drops the dead leaves on her mound.
When Ger their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves and robins call,
And ripenIng in the autum's sun
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them all.
For er the morning choir shall sing
It's mathis from the branches high
And every minstrel voice of spring
That thrills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
At last the rootlets Of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried Dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies;
So many the soul that warmed it risei
If any, born Of kindlier blood,
Should ask: What maiden sleeps below?
Say only this: A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the yiolets blow 4!

faithful servants, "a living child was wash
ed ashore from the wreck and such wee
winsome thing she is, that we thought
you would like to see her. 1t might put
you in mind Of dear little lady Annette. !"
Very pale aud exhausted looked our
Minnie, for it was she. She had been
very neatly drowned with her Indian
nurse, but the efforts of the kind cottas-
ers restored her; and the lady of the hall
bent over her and kissed her, promising
to be mother tt the little one until her
own mother should come and claim her.
That little French village became Min
MES home until she almost forget her own
language, and learned that Of her adopted
parents. She did not know what noble
life was risked to save her from the burn
ing ship.
Years went by, and one day postmah
brought letter with strange stamp. Tt
was from Arthur, and it told long story;
how he had been rescued by passing ship,
after being two days on that little raft,
and how he had been carried far away, for
the ship that rescued them vas bound to
distant port. He had tried, he wrote
far and near to trace each vestige Of the
wreck, and had at last found out where
she was. He was now on his way to take
her to his mother, who had recovered and
returned to England
Minnie heard it with bewildering sur
prise, and SO did the Lady Eleanor, her
adopted mother; but when Arthur came
she went with him to England
Very sweet it was to the invalid moth
er to see hel own English home again;
butit was sWeeter yet to clasp her chill
dren to Ter bosom, given back to her, as
1t seemed, from the very shadow of death
given back to be hers forever.

Correspondence Of the Republican.

Correspondence OF the RepuDncan-
As in our former letter, we stopped in
the mud with about sixty miles Of night
before us we will now proceed to COM
piete the description. After changin 6
teams at Smiths we rode along without
tpoling our way except where there was
a v61y bad place. To sleep was out Of the
question, but lively stories and jovial com
pahions served to make the time pass off
pleasantly We met the coach from En-
poria somewhere between Smiths and
Ridgeway; the drivers changed; our
new driver not having had supper, conse-
queLtly appeared very angry towards our
old one for being so much behind the
usual time. When we arrived at Ridge
way the driver found fifth passenger,
and was about to take him and his Dag
gage to Burlingame, some fifteen or twen-
ty miles ahead We thought it poor pol
icy for the stage to have any more passen-
gers, and so expressed ourselves to the
driver. We told him we were willing
to submit to anything within Reason, but
did not think he could reasonably ask us
to have fifth passenger packed in with
US to sit three on seat, while we were
paying nearly twelve cents per mile, and
with a prospect of walking one-half the
time with the present load. He flew in
to passion, and swore that he would let
US know that he was running that coach
himself "The man should go, and should
