A Night in an African Tree.

Night is o favorite time with almost
all wild animals for feeding or moving
about. Especially is this the case with
those African creatures which, during
the day, pass their time in forests and
caves. Elephants, particularly, select
the night for feeding, and they will then
quit their dense cover, and wander en-
the plain, where they would fear to
show themselves during daylight. On
more than one occasion the writer and
friend passed several hours of the night
concealed among the branches of tree,
in order to have the opportunity of
watching the habits of some of those
animals whose nature it was to lie hid
den during the day
On the first occasion that we ever
tried that experiment, we had taken for
our companion gentleman, who was
neither gifted with patience, nor with
that enthusiasm which is necessary to
render o night in a tree a pleasant
charge. We remained in this tree some
two hours, our companion, by his fire.
quent movements and the noise he made,
rendering it unlikely that we should see
any animal whose hearing was acute.
The bright moonlight, however, that
renders everything by night almost as
visible as by day, tempted us to venture
on other occasions to undertake night
adventures. And on more than one
night we were rewarded by witnessing
events that do not fall within the expe-
rience of every person.
One night, in particular, we recall as
very interesting one. 1t was after an
afternoon ride near the bush down by
the Imvoti River, where we had seen the
fresh spoor of several elephants, that
we decided upon passing a few hours in
a large tree that stood apart from the
main bush, and from the branches Of
which good view could be obtained Of
the ground. For companion we select
our usual hunting Caffre, who is always
ready for sport, and, arnling him will
one of our guns. we started at about ter
o'clock at night, reached the tree aftel
half an hours walk, and soon were il
its branches.
A walk by night in q country wher'
there are such animals as lions, leop
ards, hyenas, snakes, elephants, buffa
loes, and other formidable creatures, re
quires considerable caution; for it would
be excessively awkward to run agains
one of these animals, or to turn cor
ner of bush, and suddenly find your
self face to face with one of them. Their
are, too, some creatures which make
! practice of following men at night-th
hyena in particular, as we experiences
on more than one occasion.
, Having taken our stations, we waite,
, for view of some animal, and our pa
, thence was rewarded, for, to our horror
we soon discovered a pair of hyenas
which had evidently followed us, an
had resolved to await our descent. TIL
night seemed interminable; our posi-
: items were crowded and uncomfortable
and, when daylight dawned, we wer
{ ready to drop with fatigue.

Divisions of Time.

A Solar Day is measured by the rota-
ton of the earth upon its axis, and is of
different lengths, owing to the elliptic
ity of the earths orbit and other causes;
but mean solar day, recorded by the
time-piece, is twenty-four hours long
An Astronomical Day commences at
noon, and is counted from the first to
the twenty-fourth hour. A Civil Day
commences at midnight, and is counted
from the first to the twelfth hour, when
it is recounted again from the first to
the twelfth hour. A Nautical Day is
counted as Civil Day, but commences,
like an Astronomical Day, from noon.
A Calendar Month varies in length
from 20 to 81 days. A Mean Lunar
Month is 80 days, 70 hours, A minutes,
2 seconds, and 5.24 thirds.
A Year is divided into 365 days.
A Solar Year, which is the time occu-
pied by the Sun in passing from one
Vernal Equinox to another, consists oil
365. 24244 solar days, or 800 days, {
hours, AZ minutes, and 1886 seconds.
A Julian Year is 365 days. A Gregoriar
Year is 365. 1925 days. Every fourth
year is Leap Year, and is 366 days. The
error of the Gregorian computation
amounts only to one day in 1871. 1886
years.

An Iron Boomerang,

A locomotive lately exploded at La
fayette, Ind, and the Journal Of that
CITY says that large piece of irsn,
weighing about a hundred pounds, in
the shape of the segment of circle,
was projected from the wreck, and
struck the wall of lowering & Aber-
nathy's saw mill about three feet from
the ground, going through that and q
partition within, lodging against the in
side north wall, and playing sad havoc
with the contents of the Office through
which it passed. The distance from
where the locomotive stood was three
hundred feet. The course taken by the
mass of iron was most peculiar-frst
upward in a curve, going in south
westerly direction until it had passed
over the saw mill, then suddenly chang.
ing when near the ground to directly
north, and going in a direct line through
the walls. The erratic movements Of
the mass of iron can only be accounted
for by its peculiar shape, being not I'M
like the boomerang of the Australian
aborigines.

ONE PASSENGER KILLED.-The Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railroad has killed
it's first passenger, and feels correspond
ingly proud. The road has been in
operation for about twenty years, but
never had the luck to slaughter any
body until the Tomah casualty of De-
cember 23d. A Milwaukee paper re-
marks, with a certain grim humor, that
persons employed by the road have been
killed in coupling, braking, &C., and
fatal casualties have occurred by run
ming over people on the e, track tI and by
people getting on and off the cars when
in motion; but no passenger on theroad
was ever before killed by any accident
happening to the trains. But it is hard
ly possible that the road, having OBJ
tanned such good start, will stop at one
passenger, and We look for further dis
asters.

A GLORIOUS REooRD.-Twelve years ago a
few modest lines in New York Journal invited
public attention to new Vegetable Restorative

for Indigestion biliousness, fever and ague,
debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and
all complaints requiring invigorating and regu-
latng treatment. In this quiet unpretentious
way, PLANTATION BITrERs was introduced to the
world. 1t was success from the beginning.
All that was claimed for it as tonic, correc-
tive aud antidote to malarious fever, was found
to be strictly true. Within five years the annu-
al sales of this article amounted to over One
Million of Bottles. A few years more and the
demand had swelled to five millions. The annu-
al consumption of the bitters has now reached
the almost incredible aggregate of SIX MILLIONS
OF BOTTLES, and for every bottle sold a copy OF
the ILLUSTRATED MEDICAL ANNUAL, publ shed
by the proprtetors, at a cost Of $4,000, is

of valuable horses and other blood stock during
the year, and it is regarded by shrewd and OBJ

cattle breeders, as indispensable to the proper
treatment of large class Of disorders and dis

THE GLORY OF WOMAN Is HER HAIR"
The essentials of beautiful head Of hair are
luxuriance flexibility, gloss, and entire freedom
from scurf and dandruff. These requisites of
perfection may be more certainly obtained and
preserved by the use of LYoE's KATHAIRoN
chan by any other means at present known. 1t
keeps the hair vigorously alive and the scalp
healthy 1t is an emollient as well as an invig-
GRANT, in other words, it renders the hair soft,
silky and ductile, while at the same time it in
fuses new life and elasticity into the fbres, and
inclnes them to curl. The wavy appearance
given to the whole mass of hair by the regular
application of the KATHAIRoN is matter of
notoriety among ladies who use it at their morn
ing and evening toilets. That it nourishes the
hair and promotes it's growth in an extraordin-
airy degree, is beyond all question. Badness
can never be the lot of any man or woman who
brushes in this fertilizing purifying and beau
tifying preparation once or twice day. Gen
tlemen wishing TO make attractive specialities of
their whiskers, boards and moustaches, should
cultivate them with this article.

Some few days since well-dressed
gentleman, apparently in well-to-do cir
cumstances, came to Saginaw, Mich,
from some point on the shore where he
had been engaged in numbering opera
tions, in q feeble state of health, and
has since been confined to his bed. Re
Gently his condition was such that al
though the attending physician saw no
immediate cause for fear, the patient
was disposed to feel that there was a
probability of an early dissolution, and
that death at any time might terminate
his earthly suffering. So strong had
this feeling grown that the unfortunate
man communicated to the attending
physician his fears, and requested him
to convey the news gently to a lady in
Romeo, Mich, whom he loved more
dearly than life. He cautioned him
against broaching the matter too rudely,
as she was q tender flower, and the
shock might be too great for her sensi-
tive nature.
The doctor made careful minute Of
all these requests, and in strict observ.
ance of all injunctions, wrote to the
lady as desired. The answer came bach

lowing words:
