GENTLENEss.--Gentleness is love in
society it is love holding intercourse
with those around it. II is that cor
diality OF aspect, and that soul of
speech, which assure us that kind and
earnest hearts may still be met with
here below 1t is that quiet influence
which, like the scented flame of an
alabaster lamp, fills many q homo
with light and warmth aud fragrance
all together. II is tho carpet, soft
and deep, which, whilst il difi'uses a
look of ample comfort, dcadens only
a creaking sound. It is tho curtain,
which from many beloved form
wards off at once the summers glow
and the winters wind. II is the pill
low, on which sickness lays its head
and forgcts half it's misery, and "a
which death comes in a balmcr dream
1t is considerateness 1t is tender
ness Of feeling. 1t is warmth of af
fcclion. II is promptitudc Of sympa
thy. 1t Is love in all its depths, ant
all its delicacy. It is everything in
cluded in that matchless grace, th'
gcntlcncss of Christ.

from tho place it was fatcd ho never
more should enter. He sustained suf
fcicnt sensibility to speak TO bis
warm hearted colleagues few faint
words, praying them not to take him
away to receive medical aid, as he
knew he was dead man. His anx
ious friends carried him tcnderly ia
the infrmary, where, after a few
moments, hc breathed his last, after
mutterirg a few incobercnt sentences,
As the shattered frame was borne past
Mrs. Mandcrs he family waved bis
hand and gave her an expressive look,
which conveyed the words that he
was past all hope of aid. Many Of the
shots fired entered the bodies Of the
animals, and thoy received great In.
ljurics before they were driven oil
their prey. The lion Tyrant is three
and q half year old, and had been
brought up from q whelp by Mrs.
Manders. The animal having been a
favorite, it was during the early part
of its training allowed TO run about
that portion Of the caravan used as a
habitation, and it freely gambolled
with its mistress. The sire of this
animal was the one that nearly killed
Maccomo some time ago. Tho only
arm tho deceased had was strcalScd
with deep gashes from the shoulder to
the hand the scalp was torn right
back, and from the hips to tho knees,
where he was seized from behind, the
muscles are completely torn out.
There are pieces Of flesh gone from
tho ribs, and the bones Of the pclvis,
which arc the strongest in tho human
frame, have had pieces bitten clean
out. At the inquest on Thursday
Mrs. Maccarte said shclhad not seen
her husband since 2 o'clock on Wed
nesday. Ho was not under tho in,
nuence Of liquor when he left her
He was always afraid of the lion
which first attacked him, and had ex.
pressed fear of II on Monday. His
salary, with perquisitcs, was about
el per week. The Rev. Enoch Franks
said he saw the deceased 90 into the
den. His opinion was that the dc.
ceased had taken sufficient drink to
make him foolhardy, but hc did not
think that any one could call him
drunk. Tho Coroner said there was
not, in his opinion, anything il the
evidence respecting the drunkenness
Of the man that affected the case. 1t
appeared that when he was down he
defended himself in manner that
showed be realized his position. The
performance being an extra one, the
heated irons were not ready, and he
did not think there was any blame TO
be attached to anybody. In the
course of his employment Maccarte
met his death, and, however they
might rcprobate the calling, they
must think also that il was an insti.
tuition of the town, and which as the
law stood, could not be stopped.
Until the people Of Bolton become
more civilized and discountcnanced
these sights, so long would managers
TN their places of amusement by
spectacles. The jury returned u yer.

An EXAMPLE TO AMERICAN WOMEN.
u was noticed by somewhat close
observer at tho Executive Mansion,
sass the Washington Star, that Of all
tht throng of ladies who called to pay
thtr respects to Mrs. Grant, about
tb, only one not dressed in silk, satin
or velvet, or all three combined, was
Mt. Thornton, tho wife of Sir Ed
wrd Thornton, the British minister,
W 10 wore dress Of dark, soft, warm
looking material, suitable for Winter
wehr. The deviation from the general
RUE was as pleasing and crediIable as
it was striking, and the question at
onp suggested itself whether if the
representative of one Of the richest
and greatest nations on earth, and
herself lady of ample means and
urhuestionable refinement, could set
such lesson in economy and good
taIte, tho mothers, wives and daugh-
tets Of America might not profit by
tho excellent example, and modify
somewhat their foolish and almost
wicked extravaganco in dress The
inquiry, which is pertinent one, and
of more weight than might at first
appear, we commend to the thought
ful attention of our lady readers. We
assure them, also, that in any reform
in that direction they will have the
hearty approval of the sensible por
ton of tho sterncr sex.

Tax on Public Intelligence.

On several occasions we have taken
occasion to dcnounce tho tax upon
public intelligence which is carried out
in the tax upon printing materials by
means of which the American press Is
enabled TO cnlighten the public and
banish ignorance from the land. Our
contemporary, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
has most excellent article upon this
subject, so appropriate and pointed,
that we cannot refrain from giving
copious extracts from it.
We hear great deal said about the
influence OF the newspaper press OF
the country, and yet we arc forced to
confess that there is one question upon
which-their interests being indisput.
ably that of tho people who arc op
posed to n tax upon knowledge--we
should like now 10 sec il manifested.
We allude 10 tho tax Of twenty per
cent. upon paper used in newspapers,
and to the still more onerous tax upon
typo. In the past we have often had
occasion TO alludc TO the paper impo
sition, and propose now to show up
what is called the protection on type.
This littlo table tells the story, giving
the price of type in Canada and in tho
United States

position during noted engagement,
which he intends to amplify,if The Re-

have heard recently, in relation to this

Thus it will be seen that the Amer.
lean printers pay for their tody type
an average of sixty.thrce cents per
pound, while the Canadian printers
pay an average of forty.four cents per
pound. That is to pay tiIty per cent,
more than we should.
There are twenty. i've hundred ncws.
papers in the United States, which,
added TO tho great book and jobbing
establishments, makca business Of over
s75,000,000 year. They employ
over 1000 skilled mechanics, and in
addition find business to employ as
many moro men in other capacities
No less than 100000 people depend
almost entirely upon those great print
ing manufactures for support. Their
products are immensely distributed,
and there is not man fiom Maine TO
California who is not interested in
cheap books and cheap papers. The
annual production of type is but fifteen
hundred thousand pounds, giving en-
ploymcnt TO twelve hundred mechanics
This trifiing interest is thus made
paramount to one ifty times larger
aud moro important.
1t is the fault of the press that this
is permitted. Should its influence be
unanimously arraycd for paper and
type free OF duty, Congress would not
dare TO disregard the appeal. Tho
revenue derievcd from these articles
are next to nothing, for they arc in
fact prohibitory of their importation
If the duty were taken off it would bc
q saving TO the publishers and printer:
of more than n million dollars year
and this immense tax goes into The
pockets of few type founders. We
call upon our brethren Of the press
without distinction Of party, to agitate
this question Ito keep il constantly
before the peoplc-to support no man
for Congress who will not pledge him
self to vote to repeal these impositons
upon both type and paper. The
American industry in the newspaper
and book manufactures demand it,
The small ring OF monopolists who arc
interested against them should fee
their power, and be taught their pre-
sumption in supposing they can shape
national legislation on this question
We trust that this will not subject u:
10 another denunciation from the stu
pid old "organ' for insisting that the
tax shall be lifted from public ,ntelli
gencc, which begcts public virtue.--

MANUAL DEXTERITY,

While the brain of mankind is invig-
GRATED and educated by correct study
and discipline, the other parts of the
body, more particularly the hand, and
some organs, as the eye, can be trained
to tasks which at first thought seem
wonderful and impossible.
There is no labor to be done. no skill
in artificing Or fashioning the metals.
that is beyond our reach. Even Jug
glers, who have no trade, depend upon
digital swiftness or the slight of hand
to perform their ."miracles" successful
l!; and the safety of rope DANCERS de
ponds not merely upoa their balancing
poles, but upon the degree of education
they have impaired to their feet.
If in such callings as these wherein
the sole object is to please the. multi
tudes, the culture of the members of the
body is essential to SUCCESS. may we not
say that in the mechanical arts, upon
which such important issues o hang,
manual dexterity is now Indispensable.
This, allied to intelligence, is what
makes first class wOrkmcn. 1t is by no
means to be despised. for excellence in
this respect is attended by many other
qualities which arc of the utmost SER
vice i'll the trades. Very respectfully,

Debate at BOlckow.

On Thursday evening last the think
ers and takers in the vicinity OF
Bolckow collected in goodly numbers
at Montgomery School-house, and az
forded the lookers-on and listeners an
intellectual treat of quite a. superior
order.
Mr.. John Gressling was Chairman of
the meeting.
The resolution OH which the debate
was had was as follows:
Resolred. That the Bible should be
excluded from the public schools.
On the affirmative side, excellent
speeches were made by Messrs. j. p.
kildow, III. c. Murphy, John Wilkin-
son Oh, Savannah, and William Fleming,
our reporter particularly praising the
remarks of Mr.. Murphy. On the neg
alive side. John Bailey, Captain Sapp,
Rev. John Laney, and another gentle
man whose name we did not learn. held
up their side of the question in master
ly style. Mr.. Samuel Frod; han, of
Savannah. also made a few rema ks in
favor of the negative, but excused HIM
self on account of being "froze out"
on his trip from this city.
The Judges decided in favor of the
negative sidc-two being for such deci-
sion and one against.
An essay was then read by Miss
Bailey, which was doubtless very good,
but was partly inaudible.
The ''qucry box" was passed around.
an | afterward opened and the queries
read, affording much amusement and
editication TO the asseInblagc.
Altogether, a very enjoyable time
was had.
