currency payment, for thirty days, by

applause of the audience, but encomiums
even from the Conservative speakers. lie
was followed by Mr.. Cabell, of Backing-

personal assault on Captain j. III. Rives,
charging him with venal motives in
taking Office under President Grant.

repclled the assault with. yigor and elo-

+ we have read that the inhabitants of
certain parts of India catch tiger when
they want one, in this way. They smear
| one side of palm leaves about the size of
dinner plates with bird-lime. They then
put them sticky side up, in the Vicinity
OF the place where the tiger takes his
daily rambles, and intersperse some meat
and wait for their game. By and-bv
along comes the tiger. Seeing lis lncI,
laid he goes for it. and in gong GETS AZ

feeling, and turns to push it off with
another foot, which he doesn't, and then
ne tries to rub it off with his nose. By
this time he is provided with one on his
forehead and one on each foot, and then
ne rolls by the third roll he is very de-
morallzed tiger indeed. lie can neither
see, bite, nor stand, and at this stage the
native steps in and helps himself to as
much tiger as he wants. We believe the
account now.
lady in, town owned cat and was
troubled with flies. There isn't usually
much connection between cats aud flies,
unless the cat flies at you--but there was
~ this case. The lady bought a sheet Of
stcky 1ly paper and spread it out on the
table near narrow window, and closed
every other window and all the doors on
that floor. Then the cat wanted TO come
in. They always do as soon as Won shut
them out, but they'll shed tears over their
cruel confinement if you keep 'em in.
Well, this cat wanted to come in. and
there being no other way, he came in
through that window, and planted all four
feet on that sticky fly paper. Then the
trouble began. The cat could lift one foot
well enough, or even two, but when he.
tried to go away the paper wanted 10 20 too.
and then that cat became emotionaiIy in,
sane, and just Topped off that table and
started for the stairs yelling sire y and
murder !" all the way. When he cot to
the stairs he didn't go down with his
usual measured stride but he descended rs
the poet says Sally did, when the "swift
gliding sled careened and with trusses fair
streaming back ON the air sweet Sallie went
eend over eend."
(, The family rushed TO the rescue in
time to see the cat disappear through the
front door, splitting like box of damn
iire-crackcrs. A great scene cnsued. but
the cat was finally rescued and quiet
reigned.

| IIIE SHOW OF THE SEASON ON Mon
DAY AND TUESDAY EXT.-After-criti.
cism is what the people most desire to
read in connection with any entertainment
that may be presented for their amusement.
| That the great New York Circus, Menagerie
and Museum, which exhibits here ON Mon
day and Tuesday next, is not misreprc.
sented in its advertisements, NAV be seen
from the following notice given the show
by the Toronto Globe of June 10th, a
paper that is known Throughout the world,
as truthful and reliable:
I'VE have entire confidence in asserting
that this exhibition has not been over estE
mated in the descriptions that have been
given Of the excellence of the display and
performance in each paticular. The pro-
cession in the street yesterday morning
was of most attractive and pleasing
character. The grand chariot, containing q
really fine band, and drawn by team OF
twelve horses; the team of ten Shetland
ponies the numerous gaily-gainted dens !;
the cavalcade of knights, ,inoss-troopers
and equestriennes, beautifully habited |;
the tigers den, with the sides thrown
down, discovering the great tanner of wild
beasts, practicing his pets, and in another
car, with glass sides. Zanga, the African,
playing with the serpents, composed the
finest street display that has been wit
messed in this city. The Natural History
section includes number of animals of
very great beauty. A magnificent lion,
the Leo Major Of the groupe family of
the same in another den; couple of tigers,
the same that form the company on
the street, and number of other
fare of great rarity, all in fine
condition, are worth more than
hasty glance. The performance in the
arena, yesterday afternoon and evening,
were, both in variety of its parts and the
perfectly successful accomplishment of
every thing attempted, the most complete
and attractive that we have ever witnessed.
At the first performance, the large tent was
already filled at two o'clock, when
Lieutenant Governor Rowland, with his
family. entered, and were received by the
band playing God Save the Queen.' and
by the audience standing. Subsequently,
the manager of the circus received from
his excellency complimentary note, in
which he expressed the great pleasure the
exhibition had given himself and the rest
of his party" 8sf,tFB
