THE AMERICAN LION.
One Killed in Monroe County, Miss.

From the Columbus Miss. Index,)
From gentleman Of our city, who con-
versed with a person that knows Of what
he speaks, we obtain Information of an ex-
traordinary event occurring in Monroe
county last week.
Mr.. Geo. Coleman, g young man of
twenty-three or four years. living three
miles from Prairie station, was informed
one day last week by servant girl that she
had just seen 'bear as big as COW 10 the
edge of the woods short distance from
Mr.. Coleman's place. Her excited manner
at once reused his curiosity, and arming
himself with bis Spencer rifle, loaded with
twelve balls, "a piece that he had used in
the late war; he started cut in search of
the monster. He was accompanied by a
servant and a very large and fierce bull
dog. Arrived at the spot, brief survey
soon discovered to him the object of his
search in the shape of genuine lion. The
beast, at the sight of the men, spraDg into
the branches of "a dead tree, and there wait
ed further developments. Mr.. Coleman,
who is described as very cool and daring.
did not allow him to wait long, for elevat-
ing his rife he at once discharged several
loads a: him which caused the beast to
spring from his position on his foe. Quick
as thought, Mr.. Coleman continued firing
till he had exhausted all his charges, the
Oh nfta
passing clear through the body of the beast
without disabling him. And now came
the tug of war. The lion, Infatuated with
his wound. and with glariug eyes, reached
the ground near Mr.. Coleman at the first
leap, and made second spring a moment
afterwards. Nothing but the courage of
his dog here saved Mr.. 9. from instant de-
struetion. The noble animal threw him
self on the king of beasts ere he reached
his victim, and, seizing him by the nose,
though knocked about as feather, fought
him so tenaciously that the lion abandoned
his purpose, aud, by single bound, seat
ed himself on the lower limb of tree about
twelve feet from the ground. At this mo-
ment Mr.. Colman's servant handed him a
double barrel gun, which he had brought
along he advanced almost Immediately
under the beast, took an aim that was to
seal his own fate for life or death, fred
both barrels, and brought the lion dying to
the ground.
On measurement, the lion was found to
be nearly nine feet in length aud to weigh
800 pounds. He had white spot on his
breast. as tawny color. and showed all
the marks of an American lion. DR.. Hurd,
of Monroe, who is considerably skilled in
natural history, says there is no doubt OF
his species, and has his head for preserva-
ton. Our readers are assured there is no
humbug about the affair. The only way
we can account for the presence of lion
in this country is to identify this one with
the animal that escaped from the menagerie
at Forrest, Miss, about two weeks since.
Both are described as males, and of fe-
rocious temper.

ANOTHER FEATURE IN VELoUPEDING.-
Tom Wright has invented a velOciPede for
navigating the river. It is exactly like the
popular one which is bestrOde every day
by our nice young men, except that the
wheel is supplied with cogs by which
screw is set in motion. The hind wheel
is wanting. but there is six foot gig in
stead, about fifteen inches wide. This
vessel will go on smooth water at the rate
of ten miles an hour

D"BeiDg old, and therefore allowed IL
cense for teasing the girls on matrimonial
subjects, consult them about their future
prospects often, and find that the opinion
obtains with them that the young men were
never SO slow in proposing as in these
days, which We admit, gives thema good,
not to say all powerful reason for not tax
ing husband. Now, young ladies, the
whole secret with nine-tenths of you, of not
being able to get off your parents hands,
is simply you don't know how to work.
You can't keep house. You can't make a
pair of breeches. You can't tell for the
life of you, the difference between bran
and shorts, OF which COW gives the butter
milk. The young men generally came out
of the war "With the skin of their teeth"

has held them in the parlOr engaged with
by the hour listening to elegant nothings?'
Nineteen times out of twenty it is this:
''Well. she is all right for an EVENINGS en-
tertainment, but she will not make a good
wife"
There is no possible objection to the &C
complishmeDts of music, painting, and
the like, as such, but the idea is to be able
to set these parlor amusements aside for
life cell for practical knowledge. Show the
young men that you can do your part of

A Preaehar,s strataeam .

It is said that, at one time, when Loren.
20 Dow, preached under a large spruce
pine, in South Carolina, he announced an
other appointment for preaching in the
same place on that day twelve months
The year passed, and as Lorenzo was enter
ing the neighborhood the evening preced-
ing his appointment, he overlook a color
ed boy who was blowing long tin horn,
and could send forth blast with rise, swell,
and cadence, which walked the echoes of
the distant hills.
Calling aside the blower, Dow said to
him 'What is your name, sir %
'My name-Gabriel sir,'' replied the
brother in ebony.
"WeIl Gabriel, have you been to church

''Well. Gabriel, I am Lorenzo Dow, and

morning, and climb up into that pine tree

fore the people begin to gather, and wait
there till call your name, and then blow

eyes. masss, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away in
the tree-top in fine time. An immense
concourse of persons. of all sizes and col
ors. assembled at the appointed hour, and
Dow preached on the judgement of the
last day. By his power of description he
wrought the multitudes mp to the opening
Of the scenes of the resurrection and grand
assizes, at the call of the trumpet which
were to awake the nations.
"Then." said he ''suppose, my dying
friends. that this should be the hour. Sup
pose you should hear, at this moment, the
sound of Gabriel's trumpet ?''
Sure enough at that moment the trump
of Gabriel sounded. The women shrieked
and many tainted the men spraDg up and
stood aghast; some ran others fell and
called for mercy and all felt for time,
that the judgement was sent and the books
were opened. Dow stood and watched the
driving storm until the alarm abated, and
some one discovered the colored angel who
had caused the alarm quietly perchsd on a
limb of the old spruce, and wanted to get
him down and whip him, then resumed his
theme, saying:
81 forbid all persons from touching that
boy up there. If cOlOred boy, with tin
horn can Brighten you almost out of your
wits, what will ye do when you shall hear
the trumpet thunder of the arch -angel?-
How will ye be able to stand in the great
day of the wrath of God 90 He made a
very effective application.
