out OF the settlement of OF the Alabama

press the conviction privately that unless
tho Cabinet is reconstructed the Rcpub-
llcan party will 60 TO pieces, and the
next House Of Representatives will have
a Democratic majority" Tho sore
heads" as Mr.. Greeley calls them, al
ways relieve themselves by becoming
CassaLdras. We havo heard these
predictions of coming Democratic as.
ccndancy, and read of Democratic sue
cesses in municipal elections, and Dem
ocratc defeats in State elections, until
wo have no stomach for such prophecies.
Our business is to act as if there were
no Democratic party At the North at all
We remember too well that it was the
"stratcgy' (and such strategy of the
Democrats in the last House of Repre-
sentatves that forced negro suffrage
upon the South. We may always RELY
upon the northern Democrats until the

for us to know when tho preaching is

The high wnter here has been slowly

been planted. The corn was up two or
three inches, the cotton just coming up,
and the wheat about half leg high.
The letter from Durant, Mississippi,
SAYS:
The recent rains in this section have
caused rise in the Big Black River and

ten years. The newly planted corn and

a LION TAMER AlTAcxED-HERR
LINGEL BIT BY THE LIoNEss.- in
cldent occurred Tuesday night at the
circus, corner of Bourbon and Orleans
streets. which nearly became racedy.
IT, is well known to our people that
Herr Lingel, tho lion tanner, at the close
OF the performance enters the cage of
the lions. For more than wear pnst
the lioncss has had a great anlipathy to
him, and has more than once attacked
hIm with savage feroclty At Madison,
Indiana, last summer, she came very
near killing him, and as if still remem.
bcr'ng the advantage then obtained, she
last night made q similar attnck, which
came as near being fatal. For some
'lmo before entering the dcns, the lions
showed great uncnsiness, and when the
lion tanner mounted the ladder which
led into the cage, the ioness assumed a
position which threatened an immediate
attack. Unde,erred by tins manifesto.
ton OF hostility. the iron nerved perform.
er threw open the door and darted
in.
For moment the scene was thrilling.
The lions seemed mad with rage, and
sprung from one side of the cage in an
parently ungovcrnable fury. Tile lion
ess was particularly spitc(nl, and sprung
at him more than once with open
mouth bnt the mesmcrc power of tie
eye controlled her, and she ne often re-
treated into the further corner Of the
cage, growing sullenly. Compelling
the lions to 60 through their usual per.
tormance, Herr Lingel was about re-
treating from the den when the lioness.
as il possessed with sndden fury, sprung
at him aud clutched his knee in her
teeth. The audience were appalled,.
The shrieks OF women mingled with the
shouts OF men. Everybody expected 20
sec the man torn limb from limb. Bnt
with admirable presence of mind he sue.
ceeded in releasing the hold OF the ami.
NAL and retreatcd from The cage. Al.
though dangerously wounded his iniu.
rles are such as will no, preclude his
speedy recovery. It is but few da 70
since one OF the lions in the cage, enter
ed by Mile. Ella Eugenia, attacked her,
inficting painful wonnd in her hand.
Notwithstanding all this, neither of them
appear at all in.imiaated, and will renew
their performances as soon as their
wounds will permit Orleans
