Horrible struggle with a Wounded
Tiger.

Another instance of the pitcher going once
too often to the well has occurred in India
Capt. DOig, an infantry officer, had become re-
nowned as tiger hunter, and the fame of his
exploits had even reached Europe. He was sup
posed to be invincible, had performed almost
fabulous feats, and was held by the natives to
bear charmed life. The poor gentleman was
notwithstanding, killed by a tiger early in Sep
TENDER. He went out one day and had bril-
liant success, Staying fine tiger single handed
-Four or five days after news came that another
tiger was lurking in the same place, and about
six miles from the cantOnment. The new arrival
at once began to distinguish himself bv slauyh-
bring issport to an end. Unaccompanied, save
by his own g Shikaries,' the hunter repaired to
the SPOT. The savage beast was soon found
and Captain Doig got rather a long shot at
him. and felt sure he had hit him i'm the head
His impression, however, was that the tiger had
got Off into the jungle not much hurt and that
he must beat again FOR him in a fresh quarter
While preparing to do t.ii>, Captain Doig being
at the moment alone, the enraged animal sud
denly leaped from cover, and in an instant
seized his foe and bore him to the earth Cant
DOig afterwards said that the onset was so swift
that he never even saw the beast until he him
self was on the ground, and being, as he ex-
pressed it, .'calmly eaten" A horrible struggle
ensued; the 'Shikaries' sprang to the rescUe
and the intrepid hunter actually fought himself
out OF the tigers clutches. and not only thai
but managed to destroy him. The encounter
was, nevertheless, fatal. Captain Doig had the
pluck to ride back to the cantonment being
lifted to TIE saddle for that purpose. But he
never recovered from the shock and the fright
breathed his last. For men who get celebrated
for this kind of achievement its pursuit seems to
have irresistible fascination, and the sad case of
captain DO1g has many precedents

Diamond Digging.

The South African diamond fields are q sub
Ject OF constant correspondence in English
papers. On some points all visitors to the fields
who write home their experience, agree. No
man should leave remunerative employment
to seek diamonds. No one should 90 to the
fields without reserving funds enough to ia Ike
him home again. A man of unsteady habits
should be the last TO take the risk. A robust man
in good health, who likes adventure and ca n
afford to lose time, and can support the expense,
may find muscular development and pleasant
variety of adventure, even If he makes nothing
Steady men who have exhausted their resources
may find employment, food, and a fair share of
their findings, by working for others. As an
instance OF the precariOuSness of the work, three
brothers are mentioned who worked separately,
work, realized about fifty dollars over expenses:
the other two, ten thousand dollars each. a
copartnership would have been good arrange
ment for one of these brothers at any rate
Diamond digging, lottery as it seems, is not
an employment likely soon to be relinquished
The probability is that the pursuit will find
occupation Tor thousands of people for many
years, and may become an established indus
try. The stores and hotels are built of
iron; the diggers usually live under can
vas, and at the successful spots, arc
numbered by thousands, besides native
servants and laborers, who dig for wages
The monotony of finding small stones is relieved
by the occasional turning up of one worth from
five to ten thousand dollars. The first findings
were on or near the surface; now the diggers 90
downto the depth of sixteen or twenty feet. The
fields present a curious and exciting scene. The
mere incentive of the desire for wealth is not the
only motive which impels visitors. The love of
adventure and novelty which is characteristic of
many Englishmen, a. well as Americans, lead,
thousands of men to the diamond fields and not

DR.. Hall on Dysnepsia.

DR.. Hall says: The first great point in the the
cure of dyspepsia, is to eat but little at time.
AndWlthout going into detail as to other meas
ures TO be taken, ii is of Importance to add that
as the stomach is weak in dyspepsia, i'm fact is
the essence of the disease, the food given IL
should not only be small in amount, but il should
be such as is most easily worked up, most easily
converted into blood; for from the blood all the
strength comes. As the flesh of animals fish
and poultry is nearer being flesh of our flesh,
ana bone OF our bone, than vegetables so meat
is more easily worked up by the stomach, to i'm
part nutriment to the system and make good
blood. than vegetables; and as bread is the
should be meat and bread, the most ten
der of meat properly broiled, and well
baked, common wheat bread, several DAYS Old
or, What is better, the product of the grain made
up with water only and q little SALT formed into
thin, small cakes, and baked quickly in hot
oven pan or skillet, and eaten cold or hot As il
requires about four hours for the stomach to
digest such meal, il must have rest after work
just as tfe hands and require rest after their
work, there should be at least five hours between
the meals of dyspeptics, and not an atom of any
thing should be eaten between. As, therefore
there should be at least five hours interval be,
tween meals for dyspeptics, and il is not neces-
saIy TO eat at night, for then we are asleep, it
follows that We should not eat oftener than thrice
day.
But il would be of little use to get the nutri-
ment out of the food and make it into blood
unless 1T were conveyed to every part of the
system, to reach every fibre, so as to impart
strength 20 limbs, and brains, and lungs; to do
this, exercise must be taken. for without exer-
else the blood begins To stagnate in half an hour
gathers round the heart, leaving the feet and
hands cold and the skin chilly and easy TO take
cold. And as every part of the system of the
dyspeptic is weak, il is important that the exer-
else taken should be active enough to send the
blood to the remotest parts; and as meals are
taken three times day, the exercise should be
taken three times a day.
And as the blood gets the greater part of its
life from pure air, and as there is no pure air
except that ont of doors, the exercise of the dys
peptic should be in the open air; and as exercise
Is mole exhilarating, carries the mind more
away from the body and passes time more
pleasurablv, il is of great importance that the
exercise should lie agreeable, should interest.
ana even absorb the whole attention; and since
taking the world as Ii is, the most agreeable
thing TO the masses is making money. that man
will soonest get well of dyspepsia who steadily
follows some out door occupation which is en-

A REVEREND FORGER.-The Boston Adyer-
tiser says Marshal Bowles arrived at Lowell on
Monday, with the Rev. Mr.. Smith, alias Samuel
Seymour, and half dozen other aliases, who
is held to answer for forging the name of Rev.
n. G. M allOry, of that city, on an order for a
ticket to Detroit, valued at Sl6 So He stated to
reporter that he Is q native of Greenfield, Sara
tOga County, n. Y. and was educated at Union
College and Hamilton College, New York. He
says that he is licensed preacher, but that after
occupying the pulpit two years in Michigan his
health failed him, and he afterward pursued the
vocation of teacher several years in that State.
He expressed the trust that his case here will not
be prejudiced by sensation rumors elsewhere,
and says that the offences he has committed are
attributable to straightened circumstances and
infatuatiOn from the controlling power OF a
young lady. At Worcester on Friday last, he
shut all the windows in the room at the police
station where he was confined, and turned On
the gas, evidently intending suicide, but the act
was discovered before any mischief was done.
and he was then placed in a cell where Il could
not repeat the attempt. He was arraignsd yes
terday at court, and held in 81 900 until Friday
next.

the case with all unmarried ladies in England),
and round her neck was chain with precious
gems. Her hands were graceful, her fingers
long. She was Of middle size, but stepped on
msjestically. She was gracious and kind In her
address. The dress she wore was Of white silk,
with pearls as large as beans. Her cloak was of
black silk, with silver lace, and long train was
carried by marchioness. She spoke English,
French, and Italian; but she knew the Greek
and Latin, and understood Spanish, Scotch, and
Dutch. Wherever she turned her eyes people
fell on their knees. When she came to the door
of the chapel, books were handed to her. and the
people called out, God save the Queen Eliza

Breakfast REGIMES

Ohaelets.-Few articles OF food are so readily
attainable, so attractive in appearance, and so
quickly cooked, as omelets. good and eco
nomical omelet is made with four eggs, well
beaten, and added to one cup of milk. into
which has been stirred one tablespoonful of
pounded cracker andone small teaspoon of -four
Stir the mixture well together Just before pour
ing it on the well-buttered gridde, which should
not be too hot, lest the omelet should have

bladed knife: fold 10 over once, and then again
and at once lift the griddle, and turn the omelet
upon warm plate. 1t will, of course, be flour
thicknesses.
The best and really incest omelet is made with
one egg TO one spoonful OF milk. For an unex-
pected guest, this one-egg omelet Is just the
thing either for luncheon or tea. as it is so
easily made and turned Off the griddle so hand
somely.
A very good omelet is made by preparing a
mince-meat of boiled ham, or cold veal, or
chicken, well seasoned, and after the egg is
poured upon the griddle, Immediately scattering
on a thick layer of the mince, and then folding
the omelet as usual. Never put salt into an
omelet.
Poacbed or scrambled eggs should always be
served on square pieces of toasted bread, which
have been dipped for an instant in hot water
and buttered. Mince-meat 10 be nicely served.
should also be accompanied by toast in the same
way.

rice; warm it with pint of milk; mix it smooth;
