" Beasts In America.

The early accounts Of English trave-
lers in America must have been some
what unreliable, if We may Judge from
Mr.. William Woods New England's
Prospect, " published in London, 1884,
when our Puritan settlement was four.
teen years old. Mr.. Wood says, in one
place: Having related unto you the
pleasant situation Of the country, the
healthfulness Of the climate, the nature
OF the sole, with lis yegctatiyes and
other commodities, it will not be amisse
10 inform you Of such urationall crea-
lures rs are daily bred and continually
nourished in this country. which doe
much conduce 10 the well.bcing Of the
inhabitants, aAording not only mcate
for the belly, but clothing for the backe.
The beasts be as follOweth:
The kiugy Lyon, aud the strong armd Ba.rc.
The largcd lind Mp.-e-, With d. tripping Dc4rp,
Qnill darting pGrrupine-, and EacEuYyuc. bee,
Castelled ~ the hglloT VI 90 aged tree, '' &C..
Quite an homogeneous cummunity,
certainly, to dwell together in a hollow
tree ; but the anthor evidently desires
to be very carefully exact in his state
ments, for, after his peotical eilusion,
he goes on "Concerning Lyons, / will
not say that ever cav any myself, but
some aiiirme that they have seen Il Lyon
a. Cape Anne, which IS not above six
leagues from Boston some likewise,
being lost in woods, have heard such a
terrible roarings m have made them
much agast, which must cythcr be
DEVILS or Lyons, there being no other
creatures which used TO roarc, saving
bears, which have not such a terrible
kind Of roaring" Then theauthor goes
on 10 show that even If it could be
questioned that "Lyons" were to be
found near Boston, there is no doubt
whatever that they are plenty enough
in Virginia, for "the Virginians, saw al
old Lyon in their plantation, who, hay-
ing lost his Iackali, which was wont to
hunt his prey, was brought 80 pooro
that he could 90 no further" The he
lief that lions kept iackals to hunt
their prey was at one time universal,
and il said to be still believed by the
people in lion regions.

Growing Old.

That period in the life OF a popular
actress in which she begins to grow old,
is always an interesting, albeit painful
one to those who feel deep aud genuine
concern for her. There are some such in
all publics. Everywhere you will find
a lew decp.natured, wide.Aeartcd peo-
pie who form something like a personal
affection for the particular actress who
has charmed them for many years, and
who observe the coming Of the first
wrinkle with a generOu, pain. They
march alphabetically to the theatre
every time she appears in a new piece.
They applaud louder than ever before,
and weep more intensely over the pa
thetic passages. With an amiable pen
siyeness they recall the time when their
idol first appeared before them, radiant
in youthful beauty and with a reputa-
Ii u still to make. They remember her
brilliant complexion, which, except for
iOotlight purposes, the cosmetics OF the
stage hid rather than enhanced, They
dwell on her dazzling eyes. and the
magnificent and elegant sweep OF her
proud arms, and that fayorite, superb
pose on which the curtain descended
amid thunders of applause, They tell
their children patheticaily, that they
nrcdueyer expect toscc the like. Nature
is not rich enough to send out two such
prodigies in two successive generations.
Yes; there is a sort Of pathOs in watch
ing ones favOrite actress grow old,
The crows feet are more uimblc than
her own used to be, and every season
she comes amongst MS we sadly fancy we
detect a new one. The richness il dying
ont Of her once noble voice, sthe Grim
son Of Il leaf in late autumn, and when
she attempts the tones Of ccstaCy or
hate, it tricklcs off into a dissOnant
f%alsctto. Or perhaps it is acomedienne,
who is growing gray in our service. She
madly clings TO such roles as Juliana,
and on 4 benefit night selects Rosaliud,
Amid our admiration for the art that re-
mains and our regret for the glory that
il passed, we tiud ourselves asking 4;
"Why don't she retire unaware that
the harvest is passed, and she has not
saved. If any friend is 50 courageous
as to eXpostulate with her on the excess
siye juycnility Of her f~ayorite roles, she
reminds him that that wonderful septu-
agenarian, DcjaAct, acted very recently
the part Of Il youth Of sixteen. 1t is
plain thut our idol thinks she is good
for Il few years longer. Who is brave
enough TO tell aonce beau iful and popu-
lar, but now veteran actress who has
ceased to draw, that she is too old for
the profession, and if she has not the
means to lead Il life of leisure, that the
only thing for her to do is TO give les
sons in clocution ? Alas if an actress's
good sense don't give her this informa
ton, will any outside oXpostulation an
swcr? Everybody remembers Madame
Cclcste's repeated iarewells. Doubt
less it wrung her heart to say the very
last, but it was the only wise thing to
do, and, 50 far as appreciation Of her in
this country is concerned, perhaps it
would have been wiser for her to do it
earlier. -Ircudian.

A French Marriage.

one yesterday; and ] have been FIRST

it takes a Frenchman and Frenchwoman
as long to get separated as it does to get
coupled, then, indeed, is single life a
blessing, and separate maintenance a
luxury only within reach Of the very
idle and rather rich. / am persuaded

the bridal wreaths and dresses most
handsomely, causing one bride, two best
men, and one heavy father, to sneeze

We lived in Dresden for over six
months, and our experience OF the
schools was the same ms your cores
p%ondent's, only matters were worse
with us than he writes. The school
our boys attended was recommended by
the banker. 1t was one Of the largest
and most popular in the place. There
the German boys sworo and fought,
and woe to the boy who would not
fight, or who was deficient in strength.
The undcr-masters kept sticks, with
which they Init the German boys on the
head, a thing of daily occurrence. The
big boys, in their turn, beat the smaller
ones. One small fellow, an American,
lying sick in bed, was struck by a big
German IN the face, so as to make the
blood flow. The principal of the school
took no notice of it, although he had
previous knowledge of it, until the
mother of the boy was also informed of
it by me. The food was insufficient n
quantity, and very poor in quality. 1t
consisted Of black bread, which. how
ever, is c1mmon in respectable fami-
lies, tough beef, half-cooked ham, aud
suasagcs always. The sleeping rooms
were crowded with as many beds as
they could contain. In winter there
were double sashcs, and at night the
doors of the bedrooms were shut, and
the opening oven the doors closed. No
air could get in or out, for they never
have any tire-places, always stoves. TO
make things worse, some OF the boys
smoked in bed, while the teachers were
gone to the theatre. Here the BOYS
painted for breath, rolled up in some
thing like a feather bed, no sheets or
blankets, except they were especially
provided for. Other condition of things
were simply barbarous, quite destruc-
tive Of all refinement or good manners,
for at the table both teachers and
scholars would comb their hair and
SHE hunks of meat and sausage at each
other. -NeW York Observer.

Transporting Stock.

no fiendish as to call for prompt reform ;
and without the real facts ARE presented
for the consideration Of thcpeopIe, there

ties, Washington, Baltimore, PhiIadcl-
phia, New York, Albany, Providence,
aud Boston, l,OOO,32i cattle, 2,932, li9
sheep, and 3,465, liG hogs. Estimating
the average weight Of cattle ut loo
pounds, and the loss incurred by death
in starving, smothcring in process of
transportation, at 10 per cent, we have
n clear sacrifice of 12O, 03S, $50 pounds of
beef. Placing the shrinkngc ON hogs
aud sheep ut 10 pounds per head, we
find that the loss on 2,932, l49 sheep
amounts to 49,, 9S2, 235 pounds; and the
loss on 3,465, 446 hogs is 5l,9Sl, 500
pounds. Aside from this, we must bear
in mind that a very large percent. of the
cattle, hogs and sheep slaughtered are
absolutely unfit to go into the human
stomach. The tricks and inhumanity of
the drovers and dealers cause a great
waste, and add vastly TO the cost Of
meats. II IL full time that the consumer
