FACING THE LIoN.-As night comes on his
humor changes completely. When the sun has
set, it is perilous to venture into wild, wooden
and broken country. 1t is there the lion lies
in amhush--it is there he is met in pathways
which he intercepts by barring all further adj
vunceS with his body. The Arab thus describes
some OF the Nocturnal scenes which are contin-
ually happening. If a solitary individual, a
courier, traveller, or letter carrier, CHANGING to
meet lion, possesses courage Of the highest
temper, he will walk straight towards the ami
NAL, brandishing his sword or gun, but care
fully abstaining from using the one or the
other. He simply cries out: "0h the robber!
the highwaymanl the son of mother who
never said mol Dost thou think to Brighten me2
Thou canSt not know, then, that am So-and-so,
the son of so.and-so. Get up and let me pro-
coed on my journey" The lion waits till the
man has come close up to him, ard then goes
off to lie down again, a thousand PAGES further
on. The traveller has thus to endure long
series of terrific trials. Each time that
he quits the path, the lion will disap-
pear, but only for a few moments. Directly
alterward he again presents himself, and all his
movements are accompanied by horrible noises.
He breaks off innumerable branches with his
tail. He roars, howls, growls, and emits gusts
Of poisonous breath, He plays with the OBJECT
of his fantastic and manifold attacks, and keeps
him constantly suspended between fear and
hope like Il cat playing with a mouse. If a
man involved in such difficulty does not allow
his courage to fail him, if--to use an Arab
phrase-he succeeds in firmly holding his soul
the lion will finally leave him and seek his for
tune elsewhere. But if. on the contrary, the
latter perceiyes that he has to deal with man
whose voice trembeS, and who dares not articu-
late word, he repeats over and over again, in
order to terrify him still more, the maneuvre
above described. He will approach him, push
him out of the way with his shoulder, cross his
path every other minute, aud amuse himself in
yariOIs ways, until at last he deyours his vic
tim, already half dead with terror.

NJ. Leouzon-LedUc, in his Memoir
of Alexander H. gives the follow
ing curious anecdOte: zone day Alex
ander and Constantine, playing at the
winter Palace with several of their
comrades, made SO much noise that
the Emperor Nicholas, hearing them
from his private eubinet, hurried out
to call them to order. The Gar
opened suddenly the door, and
stopped on the tTeshOld transfiXed
with establishment at the scene before
him. Constantine was f0rcibly hold
ing his brother beneath his knee, and
pulling with ali his force the knot of q
scarf tied round the others neck. His
comrades were Zealously aiding him,
while Alexander was screaming for
mercy. What is the meaning Of all
this?1 cried the Emperor? His Ma
jesty was then informed that they
were enacting a scene in the history
of Russia-that OF the death OF Paul
/. After a severe admonition adj
dressed to the children for having
Yentured to represent so OdiOus an
act, the Emperor put Constantine and
his eomrades under arrest for having
made the heir to the empire play the
part of q victim. AS for Alexander
himself, guilty Of having cried ont for
mercy, he was sent to prison. "a
Russian Sovereign said Nicholas to
him, must never ask for quarter
But what is curious is that there was
nothing feigned in the young Princes
cry, as his brother, without intending
it, was really strangling him. 20

During the years 1856 and 1861 there
was collected by treasury special
agents an aggregate tax Of $2,0l8,319
IN the late insurrectionary States,
most of which was on cotton; SO that
the tax it is now proposed to refund
amounts, in round numbers, to $70,.
000, 900. Under the act of congress of
July l, 1862, the tax onrsW cotton was
fixed at one half OF one per cent. per
pound, and remained at that rate until
June 20, 1864, when it was increased
to two cents per pound. On the 18th
Of July, 1866, however, it was increas-
ed to three cents per- pound, where it
remained until September i, 1861
when il was fixed at two and q half
cente per pound. On the Sd of Feb
ruary, 1865, the tax was altogether
abolished. 1t VIII be seen by the
above that a bill for the refund of the
cotton tax is altogether a stupendou5
affair, but, unless there is something
of a force behind it, scarcely worth
talking about. The gentlemen en-
gagged in the work have already Sc
cured about six million dollars Of
claims for refund under the proposed
law, and are it is understood, daily
gathering more. All these claims,
bought for a song, will be worth their
face in greenbaeks the instant the bill
in question becomes a law. There
can be no question about them, as
each one is accompanied by a receipt
nom an Internal revenue collector,
which the records Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau here must verify.
They are made out of something like
this:
United States to John Jones DR..
To tax paid on raw cotton s., as
per accompanying receipt of Richard Roe,
collector Of internal revenue for the First
district of Alabama.
On the back Of each Is the usual
form OF assignment TO some one of
the managers of the cotton ring. 1t
VIII be seen, therefore, that the cot
ton ring ma a good basis. Six mill
dollars OF claims to begin upon, |
besides, II Is stated by those inside,
ready money enough for the necessary
expenses. The gentlemen who have
the matter In hand are ~expeIienced
in the business OF lobbying. and are
very confident OF ultimate success.
With a leverage of six million dollars
TO commence with and sixfv.fons
million dollars more behind Il "a
thought that the refund can be nushed
through both houses Of congress.

presence, From that moment Goethe
became his friend. Mendelssohn lit
orally came, saw, and eonqured. His
glorious powers received the imprima-
tur of Hummel, and after he had
passed the dreadful ordeal of playing
at sight Mozart's and Bethoven's
music from manuscript, Goethe made
up his mind that for once an in
FAINT prodigy was no myth or
delusion. Goethe had heard
Mozart as a boy of seven years old
play at Frankfort, and he told Zetler
that, as compared with MendelssOhn's
performance, when the latter was a
few years older than Mozart, it was
"as the Iisping Of a child to the re
fined conversation Of a fnlI-grOWn
man." 1t is delightful to read of
Goethe presenting the young must
clan with q manuscript sheet OF
"Faust," and che poets delight at re-
ceiving Memberships translation of
the "Andria'' Of Terrence, and saying
SIT would be a resource to the scholars
and artists at Weimar in the long
winter evenings" After fortnight
or more of Mendelssohn's music
Goethe could not endure q common
place performance. He soOn sent
another invitation to Felix, and this
time Mendelssohn's parents came
with their son. Once more Goethe
himself opened the piano, with the
words "OOme and wake up for me
all the winged spirits which have been
so long asleep here. You are my Da-
vid. Should I become miserable and
! i'll, Danish my evil dreams with your
playing; / viii never, like Saul, hurl
a spear after you" After q lapse Of
five years, when Felix had developed
such exceptional powers, it is curious
to read Of the lad being taken to Par
is, the father writing to consult Cher
ubini as to the sons adopting music
as his vocation. The old italian was
the terror Of young artists, and mer-
CHESS in criticism even of such men as
Halevy and AUber. In spite of him.
self, he was aWed into an unwilling
prophecy.
