Lion Tanners.

Recently, in Belgium, the director of
a circus, while performing the part of q
wild beast tanner, was killed by lioness
The regular lion tanner being i'll, the
circus director was so rash as to assume
his duties, and, having entered the cage,
succeeded for time in making the lions
20 through their performances. Towards
the close, when giving the animals raw
meat, the director lost courage, and in
stead of keeping firm eye on the beasts,
as tanners are obliged to do, he trembled
and made for the door of the cage. The
movement was fatal. A large lioness
was the first to pounce upon him, and in
few minutes the unfortunate man was
torn to pieces.

Recor de Of airth. AND Death. for the Year
1865

We are indebted to Mr.. Louis Pessou, recorder
of births and Deaths for the following interes ing
statement from the records of his office.
The recorder is frequently applied to for infor-
nation in relation to the deaths occurring in this
city, but owing to the inoperativeness OF the law
or to the absence of legislation on the subject he
has been unable. in many important instances, to
comply. The American consuls at foreign ports
particularly apply for certificates in order to
settle SUGGESTIONS in the courts of Europe but as
the law low is, Mr.. Pessou is unable to give the
desired Information.
1t is hoped the Legislature viii remedy the de-
fects now existing, and pass such law as will
meet the ends for which it has been created.
Mr.. PessOu deserves great credit for the care he
takes of the records and the administration of the
Office could not fall into worthier hands:

ST. LOUIS ROTUNDA.-With daily paraQraphs we
have of late been directing public attention to
startling sensation which has been on exhibition
at this place. Those who have svailed themselves
of the opportunity for gratifying their curiosity
we do not propose to enlighten, but tosuch as
have not as yet satisfied themselves we presume
that q few brief remarks will not be unacceptable
The miracle that has been attracting vast crowds
of spectators every evening is the famous Magic
Drum, fashioned in denticslly the same manner
as an ordinary one, and presenting, externally, no
remarkable appearance to Indicate that its Ca
pacity is above the common order. Suspended
from the ceiling of this spacious apartment, there
is naught about it to impress the eye that II is
looked upon any other than a mere kettle drum
whose tones have often fallen upon his ears either
in a martial or sacred character.
But tits here where the great mystery envelopes
itself with no visible agency to lend assistance or
direct its movements. This silent instrument npon
given signal seems imbued with supernatural
power, and when the first notes of the musicians
are swelling with their melifuous echoes through
the grand rotunds, this extraordinary specimen of
mechanical ingesuity discourses its harmonious
tones with the mist perfect accuracy, minglng its
soft cadence witb.the professional band and filling
the beholders with wonder and admiration.
variety of tse choicest airs are produced
without discordant sound to mar their beauty.
Offering to all intelligent minds brilliant evidence
of the splendid genius which conceived the idea
and the masteryshand that carried 1T into execu.
ton.
We are aware Of but one similar instrument on
our continent at present, that being at well
known restaurant in New York, where it has al.
ways created great furore.
Two others are to BIO seen in France, one at the
celebrated cafe FL Casa, the other at Leon Marcos
fashionable saloon. Both Of these establishments
have far.famed reputation and patronized ex-
clusivey by the elite Of society.
The originator of this astounding piece of
is poor Frenchman, native of the
imperial realm and resident of Paris, who,
although possessing towering order of genius. is
unable in consequence of his limited resources to
reap from his inventive faculties that remunera-
tive benefit which he so Justly deserves.
