Two dealers, Mr.. Jamrach in London
and Horr Hagsnbeck in Hamburg, have
almost a monopoly Of the trade IN vile
animals. The former recently gave some
Of his experiences with tigers He says
When the young tigers are accustomed to
intercourse with men, they are always
tame, but you must not 60 near them at
feeding time. My assistant took large
tiger, two years old, to London in = sailing
vessel from Calcutta he played with every
one on board, and was only shut up in his
cage at night. His great friend was dog,
rat-eatchsr, and they were taken together
in the same cage to America. have
often tried 70 bring up tigers with other
animals, and have succeeded best with the
common Indian jackal; believe the scent
of this animal prevents the tiger from at
lacking it. The tigers greatest enemies,
next to man, are monkeys. II is interest
ing to see the courage and dexterity Of a
monkey when he cannot escape an en-
counter. ] once put great baboon with
q nearly full grown tiger. The baboon
leaped upon the tigers back and took firm
hold with his teeth. The tiger could not
shake him off, and it was with great diff.
ficulty that We took the baboon out Of the
cage. He seized the tiger by the neck
through the bars, and vented his rage by
biting it. / never made the expert
ment again.
] had great difficulty in getting tigers
between the years 1865 and 1867, as the
Indian jewellers would give FIVE or six
rupees piece for claws, which were used
for ornaments The shikarees, therefore,
found it answered better to shoot tigers
than to capture them. A good skin Is
worth two or threetimes as much in India
as it is in Europe. You may get from
one hundred and twenty to one hundred
and fifty rupees for handsomely marked
skin. There Is now but little demand for
living tigers, 50 that the shikarees devote
themselves chiefly to killing them. And,
although hundreds are killed every year,
there is still an immense number Of them.
II is almost incredible how many human
beings are devoured by them. A tiger
generally only becomes a man-eater when
other food fails; but when he has once
taken to killing men, he keeps at it, /

The Cant Of HmpOstOra.

1t is SO obvious that physical and con-
stitutional vigor is the best defense against
disease that even the vendors of drastic
purgatives advertise them rs tonics,
stomachics, and invgorants, in the hope
of enhsting the confidence of the public
in the devitalizing and perniciou- potions.
1t is amusing to note how these impostors
initiate and copy the language in which
the medicinal properties OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are described. Although
the effect Of their rasping evacunnts is to
destroy the tone Of the digestive organs
and the bowels, and to rob the system OF
its vital strength, they are unscrupulously
recommended to the weak aud prostrate
victims of disease rs stimulnnt, 1t is
time this humbug (not n very successful
one, 1t is true, thanks to the mature COM
mon sense Of the American peop.e,) was
stigmatized as it deserves. such mis-
chievous talsehOods should be exposed
pro bono plbiicO. Hostetter'- Stomach
Bitters, be it distinctly understood, is n
stimuant. 1t has a spirltuOus basis, and
that basis is the vehicle which dltluses its
wonderful sanitary principles through
every part Of the system. The tonic, III
terative and regulating ingredients Of the
Bitters would be comparatively inert il
they were not, so to speak, carried to the
localities where they are required by the
stimulating agent. The can't which pro
tests against the use Of pure alcoholic
fluid, when employed as a means Of Civ
ing full effect to medicinal extracts of tho
highest utility, is the cant Of eharlatan-
ism. Every intelligent phy-~ SO char
acterizes it, and the sick who Nfe griped,
convulsed and debilitated by the nauseous
and disgusting nostrums Of the parties
who put it forth, soon find to their sor-
row that it is II delusion and SNARE
Hostetter's Bitters, the great sanitary
stimulant Of the age, IS in the truest
sense of the words, a wholesome, vitaliz-
ing, renovating preparation. 9sep

merchants who were burned out last
week are already preparing the ground
for the erection Of new building. Wing

that in the rear Of these fret proof BALD

we will get an occasional item ct.a fire in

HUMoRs OF THE FIRE.-The fire in
Chinatown last week was not without its
attendant humorous, incidents. A large
lot of bombs in the China stores becom-
ing ignited went off, sounding like unto
cannonading and awaking people at
great distance. A lady friend having
her slumber thus disturbed, woke from
sound sleep and observing the intense
light and hearing the reports from a
thousand bombs, was on the instant con-
vinced that a volcano had burst forth in
the immediate vicinity of town. The
light was SO strong that people residing
halt-a-mie or more away, when first
awakened, were certain that their own
houses were in flames. One individual
more excited than discreet, rushed to the
conaagraton en- diShoblie, but soon re-
turned to his domestic quarters. We
also observed modern Diogenes, in the
shape Of an aged Celestial who wandered
around the fire with a lighted lantern,
Notwithstanding the strong light thrown
out by the burning buildings, it being
too early in the morning for honest men
to be about, he was unsuccessful.
