FIGHTING THE REGAL TIGER.
Prince Alfred's Great Tiger Hunt-35O Ele-
phants In the Field.

Prince Alfred's Great Tiger Hunt-35O Ele-
Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, is
enjoying himself greatly in India. In Febru-
airy he was magnifcently entertained near the
boundaries of Nepaul by Sir Jung Bahadoor,
q native prince of immense wealth.
The Duke reached his camp on the banks
of the Mohan river, which separates Dude
from Nepaul, at $50 on the morning of the
22d of February. Soon afterwards Sir Jung
BahadoOr, who was encamped on the op-
posite bank, came across to meet and con-
gratulate his royal guest. He was in full
state costume, and wore splendid head
dress, valued at thirty-fve thousand dollars
in gold. After pleasant interview, Sir
Jung Bahadoor having laid aside his elegant
attire and replaced it by a hunting costume,
the two Princes set out for the great tiger
hunt which the Indian host had planned for
the entertainment of the Royal English sports
man. The battle which followed is described
as absolutely unique. There were upwards of
three hundred and fifty hunting elephants in
the field; a tiger was soon started out of the
Jungle, and by masterly management was
gradually SO hemmed in by elephants that at
last these formed complete circle of not
more than sixty yards diameter, with only the
Prince, Sir Jung Bahadoor, and the tiger in
the central space.
When the latter realized his situation, he
ran roaring round and round the circle trying
to find an exit, and at last made rush at
what seemed probably the weakest point in
the circle. This, however, was just in front of
the Dukes elephant, and a well-directed shot
from his Royal Highness rolled him over,
though it took two or three more balls to
finish him. 1t was an understood thing
that no one but the Duke was to fire,
and to give an idea of Sir Jung's consum-
mate courtesy, it may be noticed that he had
dismounted from his own elephant and
climbed into the state howdah, which by his
orders had been prepared for the Duke, where
he sat behind his royal visitor, not firing him
self, but handing gun after gun to the Duke
as he required them.
The dinner that night in camp is said to
have been, considering where it was, sight
of itself worth journey. About 8 p. M.
the tent door opened, and in long defile en-
tered string of Goorkhas, bringing trays of
presents-beautiful knives, elephants teeth,
tiger skins, China silks, musk pods, the cur
rent coins of Nepaul, and small elephant
(who objected very much to the festivities,
and last, though not least interesting, baby
tiger, only ten days or fortnight old, which
made itself quite at home on the table with
the dessert, and allowed itself to be caressed
and made pet of at once.

The Career of an Actress.
A PITIABLE STORY.


The San Francisco Morning Call gives this
account of the life of an unfortunate actress
now in hospital in that city,
''The actress referred 10 made her first
appearance in California about six years ago,
at the Metropolitan Theatre, and created quite
a favorable impression upon theatre-goers,
and caused nearly one-half of the younger
portion of the town to go daft. She was very
beautiful of fine, commanding appearance,
and dressed with remarkably good taste, and
was always sure to attract considerable atten-
ton whenever she promenaded Montgomery
street.
'She terminated her engagement at the
Metropolitan Theatre, and disappeared from
sight for some time, and none but her ac-
quaintances knew of her whereabouts She
had almost faded out of the memory of the
public when she was announced to appear at
one of the minor theatres. The public talked,
and expressed their surprise that she should
condescend to appear at any but hrst-class
house, but probably the actress knew her own
necessities, and accepted the engagement
because She was compelled to. She
played at this house for several weeks, and
then made tour through the interior of the
State, appearing at Marysville, Sacramento,
Stockton, San Jose, and other towns. She
also went to Virginia, and played an engage
ment at Pipers Opera House, and, returning,
went to Oregon, and remained there some
months. Upon her return to San Francisco
she again appeared at one of the Melodeons,
and then sank into obscurity. Two or three
years have passed away since she disappeared
entirely from sight, and perhaps everybody
imagined that she had gone East, but it ap-
pears that such has not been the case. She
has remained here in San Francisco, and has
at last been attacked by consumption; and
having exhausted all her means she has at last
been compelled to seek an asylum in the City
and County Hospital. The persons who in the
days of her success and prosperity crowded
around her and sighed for her smiles have
all forgotten and neglected her, and now
instead of appearing each evening before the
footlights, and receiving the applause of de
lighted audiences, she lies in ward in
hospital upon lowly cot, waiting the ringing
down of the curtain upon the last act. Her
is ia sad case, and her fate a sad commentar
upon the stability of the public. At thi
time one firm friend would be worth more b
her than all the applause that was ever show
cred upon the greatest actress that eve
walked the mimic stage"

, Diocesan Convention.

The S0th annual session of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Vermont, commence
ed its session in this place on Tuesday,
and is still in session to day, THURSDAY,
The Diocese wascalled to order by Bish-
op Bissell. Among the I.aity present
are Hon. Pitt w. Hyde of Castleton,
Hon. Ebepezer Briggs of Brandon, Hon.
Victor Atwood of st. Adams, lie.
Cook of Bennington, Hiram Atkins and
Charles Dewey Of Montpelier, ii. b.
Smith of Milton, Col. Kittredge Has
kins of Brattleboro, and others equally
well known in the State, among them
Geo. F. Houghton of St. Adams, who
we believe reports for one or two of the
Vermont Press. Among the clergy we
observe the name OF Rev. +. Wainwright
formerly Rector Of Emmanuel Church,
in this place, now Of Schenectady, New
York. A large portion Of the Episcopal
clergy of this state arepresent of course,
and among them we notice the name of
Rev. DIR. SWEET, formerly of Bethel we
think, now of Fairfax, whom we remem-
Der with admiration for an incident
which occurred in our presence nearly
twenty years ago, being a most whitening
and efiectual rebuke administered by him
to disorderly choir in the gallery.
Some of the choir were engaged in whis-
pering and laughing. Suddenly the
speaker paused-and probably cast his
eyes in the direction of the choir, though
it was not always certain to others which
way he is looking aud said with i'm
pressive firmness 81 am in doubt
whether to proceed or not when there is
so much levity in the gallery" It's I'M
necessary to describe the effect which
this produced.
We may be mistaken as to the clergy
man above named, but not as to the in
cident. The convention is composed of
an interesting and able body of men, and
their session has been attended with in
terest. We have been unable to be pres
ent at any of the sessions this week, but
hope to give a more general report next
week.
