Only the advantage of celebrity was
vastly on the side of the panthers, and
when the alligator, with much difficulty,
succeeded in seizing one of them, he was
so slow about crushing his prey, and made
so much awkward mouthing of it, that he
put himself almost at the mercy of his
antagonists.
Still his powerful tail was free, and the
cat-like creatures, in springing about to
find his vulnerable points. were not so spry
but they took some stunning cuffs from
this caudal bludgeon. Besides, during all
the combat, the amphibians had been work
ing gradually towards the water, and now
the survivor was almost at the edge.
Once in the lagoon and his enemies
would be powerless. The panthers seemed
to be sensible of this, and by an artful
movement both succeeded in getting at his
throat while his mouth was full A few
seconds of vigorous tugging and tearing at
the tenderer flesh made the alligator s
death wounds, and he slid hopelessly into
the water
Two panthers survived to claim the vic
tory But they had scarce strength
enough left to snuff about the bodies OF
their slain. Both were much the worse
for wear and the hunter leveled his rife
and easily brought them down with a sin
gle shot apiece, after which he took of
their hides and the hides of their compan
ions, and made his way back to his ranch
In an eventful life of more than ter
years, subsequently to this in frontier coun
tries, he never saw anything in the shape
of forest or jungle fight that could com
pare with this combat between the pan
theirs and alligators.

The BIG Vine of Santa Barbara.

The following account Of this immense
vine was furnished us by Mr.. o. RICHARDSON
of Rozbury. Mr.. r. has residing in
Santa Barbara, who has examined the vine,
and can therefore youch for the truth of the
statements made.
This vine is growing about three miles
east of the town of Santa Barbara. From a
measurement of it made in the fall of last
year, 1867, we compile the following facts
At the base the circumference of the trunk
is three feet and six inches at the height of
three feet from the ground, the circumfer-
ence is two feet and eight and one-half
inches Immediately under the branches the
circumference of the trunk is three feet and
six inches; height from the ground to the
branches, four feet and six inches the trunk
divides into three main branches one branch
is two feet and one inch in circumference
another branch is two feet and four inches in
circumference the third branch is two feet
and two inches in circumference. The vine
is supported bv a trellis seventy feet long and
sizty-one feet wide, which it completely
covers. Many of the branches at their ex-
treme ends on the edge of the trellis, are one
inch in diameter. The branches are kept
trimmed to the dimensions of the trellis,
which forms paralelogram. The height
of the trellis from the ground is six feet and
five inches. This vine ls of the 80 Mission
grape" variety, common in all the old Mis-
sions of California. 1t was planted from
shoot, or cutting, and is now about forty
seven years old, near its age can be
determined. IL is vigorous and healthy
as young vine with bright, smooth bark,
and shows no signs of age. In a fair average
section of the vine, seven feet and six inches
long and ten feet eight inches wide, the
clusters OF grapes were counted and found to
be one hundred and ten clusters. Some of
the clusters weighed FIVE pounds, and others
less. Taking two pounds the average
weight of the clusters, which was believed
to be entirely within the mark, and estimat-
ing the product of the whole vine by the see
ton which was counted, it was found that
this vine bore last year over six ton. Of
grapes, Q2.74S pounds.) 1t is generally
said here that the vine bears about three
tons year, SIX tons really seems to be
too large story for any one to believe. But
the figures we have given above be i'm
plicitly relied upon correct.
The old lady who trained this vine died
about two years ago at the age of one hun
dred AID six years. Her eldest son is eighty
four years old, and is still strong and active.
We are indebted to G. E. Huse, Esq, for
the above figures. Mr.. Ii. and the Rev. Mr..
Williams, of this place made the measure
ment of the vine last year, and we give the
figures as made by these gentlemen the
ground. 1t is DOUBTLESS the largest grape
vine in the world and of course great Gu
riosIty.

On Sleep.

Animal life Is 4 scene of continuous de-
struction and repair. The whole existence
Of an animal is accompanied by an inces-
SAINT death of its parts: for every manifes-
tation Of muscular force. every sensation,
every act of volition-nay, every thought,
is accompanied By the death of the parts
through which these were manifest to the
world This waste of dead portions of
the body is supplied through the nutritive
processes, which build new matter into the
form and place Of the dead matter which
has been removed.
These partial distinctions and con-
structions of parts are continuous, but not
equal, for during a day of activity the
former are greater in amount than the lat
ter Hence the necessity for a period of
repose from labors, when both the muscles
and the nervous system may be repaired
period when greater rate Of nocturnal
constructiveness in the body may balance
the destructiveness of diurnal labor Sleep
is the period when an animal most resem-
bles vegetable in its functions Of nutri-
ton Negetative life is characterized by
growth and construction of organic matter.
In sleep. the animal is mainly construc-
tive machine, repairing all the parts which
have been wasted during the day, and
storing up force for use during the hours
Of wakefulness"
Thus writes contributor to the North
British Rerie,c, who has given scientific
and highly interesting exposition of the
cause of sleep, and the purposes which the
quieseent condition of the brain is designed
to serve in the physical economy. The
brain which fills the entire space within
the skull, is admitted to be the seat of in
teligence, from which is issued the COM
mands, called volitions, that regulate all
movements of the body. The brain is
fully supplied with blood !; and the opinion
OF psychologists was formerly that it was,
during sleep, as freely supplied as when
awake, or even more so. This is an
error, as has been proved by the exper-
iment of placing glass window in the
skulls of certain animals. and watching,
through them, the operations which were
going on in the heretofore darkened rooms.
- In the waking state, the brain is larger
than it is during sleep, while in the latter
condition it becomes pale and bloodless.
If the animal be disturbed by dreams, a
blush suffuses parts OF the Drain ana AIT
er complete wakefulness the cerebral sub
stance becomes turgid with blood, the
whole surface being now a bright red,
while vessels. invisible during sleep, are
filled with blood coursing rapidly through
them.
There is another fluid in the brain
which has close relation to sleep. although
its Importance has not been recognized by
writer's on the subject. This is watery fluid
the cerebro spinal duid-which bathes
the brain on all sides, and in all its convo-
Iutions. 1t is secreted easily, and absorbed
with equal readiness. SO that as the skull
is close cavity. which requires to be al
ways filed, a diminution Of blood in the
| brain is attended with an increase of GER
ebro spinal fluid. The spinal column and

The Warsaw Meteor.
In the Paris correspondence o

In the farlS correspondence OF the New
York Times we find the following:
But what are we to think of the wonder
full Jolide of Warsaw, Of few months ago
Here is something more fantastic than any
thing the astronomer ever dreamed of. On
a starlight night the citizens of Warsaw
gazed petrifed, with fear, at the rapid ap-
proach of an immense ball of fire which at
last burst over their heads with a noise
and shock such as never has been heard or
felt before on the face of the earth After
the globe burst, each of the pieces in turn
broke up, until parts of the mass, before
reaching the earth, were in powder, the
first discharge representing from the sound
the discharge of artillery, and the smaller
pieces, the rolling discharge of many regi-
ments of small arms NJ Dauboe of the
French Academy of Science, who has just
been lecturing on the subject, has obtained
for the Academy 932 pieces of the broken
5olide, NJ Krantz, of Bonn, gathered up
for himself 1912 pieces. Other professors
have done the same, and millions of pieces
vet remain strewn over the section Of
country where ii broke.
1t was computed that this globe had a
surface of 1000 acres; and. was consequent
/ ly large enough to maintain the life of
many microscopic nations. Where did it
come from, and what was the force that
directed it thus in a straight line against
the earth? When first seen, it appeared
as large as the moon, and never appeared
larger till it struck our atmosphere and ex-
ploded This fact shows its frightful
rapidity OF motion. for from the distance,
at which it appeared less than the moon, till
the time it exploded, it must have shot SO
rapidly that the eye had not time to per-
ceve its enlargement Then, again, what
was the cause of the explosion, and especial
ly of an explosion 50 complete as to almost
triturate the particles? Was il the
density of the earth's atmosphere that
broke it, or was the explosion due to the
contact Of certain gases Of the meteor with
the constituents Of the air 1t is more
consoling to adopt the first theory because
we will then feel as if our atmosphere
served as cuirass to the earth, and would
continue to protect us from the stray globes
like that of Warsaw. The shock and the
spring Of the air must have been something
beyond the computation of man; for it did
not knock people down, and yet it occurred
at something like fifty miles from the earth,
and the pieces picked up show it to have
been tolerably hard stone.

\ LAKE Scene IN BRAZIL.-As we were
taking coffee under the trees afterward,
having yielded our places in the primitive
dining TO the Indian guests, the Pres
ident suggested sunset row on the lake.
The hour and the light were most tempting,
and we were soon off in the canoe, taking
no boatmen, the gentlemen preferring to row
themselves. We went through the same
lovely region, half water half land, which
we had passed in the morning, floating be-
tween patches of greenest grass and by
large forest trees, and blackened trunks
standing out of the lake, like ruins. We
did not 90 very fast nor very far, for our
amateur boatmen found the evening warm,
and their rowing was rather play than
work; they stopped, too, every now and
then, to get shot at a white heron or to
shoot into flock of parroquets or ciganas,
whereby they wasted good deal Of powder
to no effect. As we turned to come back,
we were met by one of the prettiest sights
| have ever seen. The Indian women,
having finished their dinner, had taken the
little two-masted canoe, dressed with flags,
which had been prepared fur the Presi-
dents reception, and had come out 10 meet
US. They had the music on board, and
there were two or three men in the boat /;
but the women were some twelve or fifteen
in number, and seemed like genuine Anna
IONS, to have taken things into their own
hands They were rowing with will ;
and as the canoe drew near, with music
playing, and flags flying, the purple lake,
dyed in the sunset, and smooth as mirror,
gave back the picture. Every tawny fig
ure at the oars, every flutter of the crimson
and blue streamers, every fold of the green
and national flag at the PROV, was as dis
tinct below the surface as above it. The
fairy boat-for SO it looked-fioating be-
tween glowing sky and water, and seeming
to borrow color from both, came on apace ;
and, as it approached, our friends greeted
us with many I'd" Vira,' to which We re-
sponded as heartily. Then the two canoes
Joined company. and we went on together
the guitar sometimes being taken into one
canoe and sometimes into the other, while
Brazilian and Indian songs followed each
other. Anything more national, more COM
pletely imbued with tropical coloring and
character than this evening scene on the
lake, can hardly be conceived. When we
reached the landing, the gold and rose
colored clouds were fading into soft masses
| of white and ashen gray, and moonlight
| was taking the place of sunset. As we
went up the green n'slope to the sitio. dance
on the grass was proposed. and the Indian
girls formed quadrille, for thus much OF
civilization has crept into their native man.

PantilerS and AlligatOrs.

4 hunter in the wilds of Texas. who
met many startling adventures and saw
some strange creatures, was once witness
to singular battle on the banks OF lone
ly lagoon in the forest.
He had killed black panther at this
place-more in self-defence than for game,
for he was chasing wild cattle that day
and leaving the carcass, to return. possibly.
by-and-by for its skin, hurried forward on
trail which he expected would lead to
the object of his hunt.
He came back before night with the
trophy of a wild bull hide, and passed the
lagoon where he had encountered and
killed his dangerous assailant in the morn
ing. Savage cries and sounds of brutal
struggle informed him, before he came to
the place, that some deadly battle was
going on among the beasts Of the forest.
He soon came in full view of the scene.
and sanguinary one it was. Four black
panthers were ferociously disputing the
possession of the carcass of the dead pan
ther with two enormous alligators. The
object of the combatants on both sides ap-
pearel to be the same, viz, to eat the car
cass !; and for this both fought with bloody
tenacity, tugging at the bone of contention
by way of seeing how much had been
gained.
The panthers were superior in numbers
two to one but the alligators had much
the thicker armor. and could fight with
their tails as we'll as their heads, so that
the battle was pretty nearly equal. One
of the big reptiles had panther on his
back, plying his flank furiously with his
hind claws, and another was holding him
by the fore leg with jaws like tiger.
When he succeeded in shaking off his saw
age assailants his fore leg was broken, and
slit was made in his size nearly through
the flesh into his entrails.
Meantime the other alligator was max
ing frantic efforts to get the third panther
into his mouth He had nearly succeeded,
when with tremendous swing the huge
tail of his fellow -saurian knocked out the
panther and wedged itself firmly between
his jaws. The teeth snapped together like
pair of copper-mill shears, and one of the
tail-thrashing combatants was minus his
weapon.
The fourth panther, that had been vi
ciously busy with teeth and claws at the
ewes and throat Of the curtailed reptile,
now redoubled his attacks, and with the
aid Of two others, in front and rear, soon
disabled him. The third panther, owing
to his entrance and exit through his enc.
mys Jaws, was hors dm combat with broken
back.
The fight was now between single alli-
gator and the three remaining cat-savages
One of the three. however. was by this
time badly damaged. Some terrific stroke
or bite bad completely scalped him, and
the skin i ing down the side of his neck,
tapping as he fought. Another, appa.
rentiy, had rib or two broken, but did
not seem to mind it. The odds in the
battle were still not 30 very great.

Again.

Oh, sweet and fair, oh, rich and rarei
That day so long ago,
The Autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow,
The ferns were clad in cloth OF gold,
The waves sang on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing,
For ever, evermore.
Oh fl and few, tried and true
The friends who met that day,
Each one the others spirits knew;
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore:
We said Such days shall come again
For ever, evermore."
One day again, no cloud of pain
\ shadow DER us cast,
And yet we strove in vain, in vain.
To conjure up the past;
Like, but unlike the sun that shone.
The waves that beat the shore.
The words We said, the songs we sung.
Iike-unlike-evermo
For ghosts unseen crept in between,
And, when our songs flowed free.
Sang discords in an undertoue,
And marred the harmony.
"The past is ours, not yours" they said.
THE waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same are not the same,
on never, never morei
