II0rs de Combat.

Upon my sole I've walked so much
Since horses have been hoarse,
| feel like some pedestrian sport
Ia training Oh the course.
I've worn my boots to sandals, and
The sands all in my feet:
My calves won't work, if oxen do,
For horses on the street.
Such " Pilgrims progress as this Is
Makes each mans 8 bunion hate;
And, though strict teetotaler,
He's corned in spite of Fate.
Forgotten now Is horsemanship,
And driving's a lost art
Hotels can't furnish carriages
They've nothing but the carts.
The price Of feathers going up
At mos fearful rate,
Aud every GOV hides qulvering
Lest shafts should be her fate.
No car 'os now will carry Us,
Urged on by driver 5 whacks ;
Oh. for the wings Icarus had,
Although they went by wax.
Then let us hope that horses may
Be freed from present woes,
And running on their feet again,
Instead Of at the nose.

Probable Execution Of Four Siamese
PrInrpsSns

The Indian Statesman saws E'There,
are rumors that three or four Prin-
sesses OF Siam and two servants have
been accused of stealing gold chains.

gold chains, diamonds, and other
precious stones that we've attached to
the Kings sword had been taken away,
and imitation chains and stones had
replaced them. These depredatious,
1t IS rumored, were made during the
late reign, but have only recently been
discovered. Some say those accused
OF the theft have received ninety lash
cs each. The servants are to be exc
cuted and the Processes disposed of as
the law provides for persons of their
rank, # found really guilty of the theft
Others say the ladies CT rank who are
implicated are being tried, and it is
not yet known what their punishment
WilIs be. 1t there is any basis for
the runners, and the PrinceFses
should be implicated and found guilty,
their sentences would doubtless be
death. The execution of princes and
princesess would be at some prominent
temple. They would be bound and
ia stoned in a bag, a block of chan
wood of triangular shape would be
placed nthe ground, and the fastened
body turned face downward so as to
bring the neck below the chin on the
triangular block. At a given signal,
the first ezecutioner, after raising his
chanwood cudgel, would strike the fatal
blow on the back of the neck, and the
three other executioners, similarly arm
ed, would continue their blows upon
the body until it entirely ceased to
culver. The bag containing the body
would then be weighed aud thrown
into the river. This, it is stated, is
the way in which His Royal Highness

holes at the roots of trees--1oes not bur-
row, but takes possession of holes already
made. Into these he wilicarry leaves,

and it is eaten in turn by many people,
the flesh being considered delicious This
has flavor resembling that of the flesh
of g. young hog, but it is sweeter and less
gross. Negroes and others are exceeding
ly fond of it; dogs. however, hold a very
different opinion, and will sooner starve
than consume it. The animal is hahitual-
ly incautious, and when attacked seems to
