Of all wild animals, the crocodile seems to
be the most alarming and destructible. An
Egyptian sportsman, who supported himself
and his family by the produce of his gun,
about six years since, with three of his neigh
bors, went to an island called Geizet-il-Arab
"a favorite resort of crocodiles-to hunt for
their eggs. AS they were going round the
island, three crocodiles escaped into the river.
On examining the spot, q quantity of eggs
were discovered in the sand. These they
secured, and were proceeding back to their
tent, when q crocodile who had watched the
transaction rushed to the place of her de-
posit, and as rapidly returned to the river,
and swimming, followed them opposite to
their abode, where until nightfall her eyes
were seen above the water. The sports
men feasted sumptuously upon their
spoil; but as soon as the last embers
of their fire had died away, the
crocodile charged them furiously, repeating
her attacks several times during the night;
and it was only by the frequent discharge of
their firearms that they kept her off at all.
The crocodile, which had hitherto remained
harmless, now became furious, and attacked
all the cattle it could catch upon the river
side. Among the victims was fine mare in
a neighboring village, who, as usual, was
allowed to Craze in the coarse abundant pas
turage. One day, whilst drinking, she was
seized in the back of the neck by the jaws of
the crocodile. The mare, being a powerful
animal, in an agony of pain threw up her
head. The crocodile dropped upon her back,
and with her strange burden the mare gal
loped off to her stable. The astonished viii
layers Immediately set upon the crocodile
with their nabOOt, or stout sticks, until she
was induced to let go her hold and dismount;
but the mare died from the joint effect of
her wounds and the fright.
During March, which is the breeding sea-
son, the crocodiles deposit their eggs in the
sand on the banks, or, in preference, ia small
| sand banks or islands on the stream. The
| eggs, which are white and hard, in size re-
| semble those Of domestic goose. One
| found on the White river measured exactly
three inches and half in length, and five
| inches and thirteen -sixteenths in circum
| ference.
The care and anxiety bestowed by these
| ferocious creatures upon their eggs is aston.
ishing. When about to lay, the female croco
die will dig with her claws hole in the sand
six inches deep, drop her egg therein, and
cover it up. She will then make several holes
around the first to mislead those in search oi
her treasure. Every day she will add fresE
| egg to her store, at the same time carefully
enarging the excavation, turning them anC
| recovering them with sand. After they are
Matched by the suns rays, the mother will
place her young in the shallow water of re
tired creek, where she will nourish them unit
they are capable of feeding themselves.

father, who was wealthy citizen of Geneva,
lost all his fortune by the failure of a watch
speculation. He died shortly afterwards and
his wife and three children removed to London
and thence emigrated to Mexico, wandering rs
far as Guadalajara, where the mother died.
They remained here for some time, supporting
themselves by manual labor and earning, until
the general stagnation of industry, a precarious
livelihood. They were Spiritualists; and claimed
to hold intercourse with their departed mother.
On a table in the room were three notes, ex-
plaiHing their death to be the result of their own
act and in obedience to o communication from
the mother who from the spirit land declared
nothing was wanting to complete her happiness
save the company of her children.
There are some people in the city who knew
the young man, who say that the spiritual mes
sage from the mother was only a pretext, and
that the young people, who had been nursed in
opulence, were tired of manual labor, and
heart-broke with the NAL du pays, home sick
ness, which is known to have such powerful in
fuence on the Swiss, that q regiment of the
French Regents Guard on hearing the Rdnz
des VdcheS, were thrown into such ecstacies OF
sorrow that many became sick, forty or fifty de-
serted, and two died outright.

COriOlanus and a Ring-TaiIed
Monkey.

From the Chicago Republican.
Immensikoff Conway, the abdominous
tragedian, lives in the city of saints Brook
lynn, and is, while there, member of the
Sons of Temperance and similar abstinence
associations" but when he visits the city of
friends (New York;, he usually, so the story
runs, gets ''blind, staving drunk" During
one of the Gothamite excursions Mr.. Con-
way found himself at the De Soto in company
with little Tony Denier, the pantomimist,
who is famous as the personator of Jocko,
the Brazilian ape, and such characters. When
the hour for breaking up arrived, Mr.. Con-
way was escorted to the sidewalk by the
obliging Denier
(Which way are you going, Mr.. Conway"
asked the pantomimist.
I'm going home, sir, where every respect
able man ought to 60, replied the pompous
tragedian.
Where do you live, Mr.. Conway"
81 live in Brooklyn, sir, where every
respectable man ought to live"
''Well, Mr.. Conway, I'll go part of the way
with you" said the still accommodating
pantomimist
'No, sir; you will not, sir" replied the
tragedian ''No, sir! Coqjolanus and q ring
tailed mOnkey!W No, sir!"
Those who are familiar with Mr.. Conway's
peculiarities of speech and manner may
appreciate the foregoing.

A correspondent writes from Guadalajara of a
triple suicide which was committed in that
city on the 25th of January, and which cre-
ated the profoundest sensation throughout the
province.
The police of the city received information
that the house occupied by French family, of
the name OF Favre, had not been open for some
time. and that an insupportable stencil was issu-
ing from the premises, Officers were sent to
force the doors, and they found inside the
bodies of three unfortunates in highly ad-
yanced stage of decomposition. medical au-
topsy established the fact that they had de-
stroyed themselves by suffocation, closing all
The apertures of the house, and lighting pan of
charcoal. They had been suffering greatly from
noyerty, but had clothed themselves in their
very best attire-the well-sayed fnery, the rem
nants of their former opulence. The family
consisted of two sisters and brother. The two
girls lay in the same bed, wrapped In each
SStber's arms; the brother was lying dead Ia an
cher he'd placed at some distance.
The Favre family were of Swiss origin. The

NAvIGABLE AIR SmPs.-For a great
many years number Of devotees to the
subject Of aerial navigation, have been work
ing upon plans for balloon ship that can
be moved in any direction at will, indepen-
dent of the currents Of air. There is quite q
strong association in England for the promo
ton Of this project, and work has been
going on under its auspicies for several
years, numerous small models of manage
able or navigable balloons have been ex.
hibited from time to time in this and other
cities, but 50 far as we are aware no large
balloon has ever been constructed on the
plans Of these models, nor has any parti
cabla result been effected. Yet the thina
seems feasible, and If success in aerial navi
cation has been brought about, what I
boon it would now be to France and he,
