Having passsd much Of hfs lie On the frontier he
could positively affirm that panther flesh Was .
rare luxury in the regions he had trsversed, %
much 50 that he had observed children lying IN
wait for the animal. HIS own description Of
panther hunt-his own connection with which he,
with native modesty,, endesyored to conceal-oc-
casioned great nerriment, especially his ailusion
to 9 ride into camp on one Of these submissive
crestures He alluded to his own researches in
the field Of natural history. He had devoted
much attention to the study OF the habits of the
panther, but amer years or observation, tailed
to and any SPECIFIC connection between this animal
and Sphyropicus wflliamsonii and s. Thyroldeus.

ferries Of heart hsaril The speakers feelings hay
ing almost overcome him ct the Reorganization, he
with some difculty gave expression to his resolve
'tthat after finishing the great work In question,
he proposed devoting the remainder Of his life to
luxury and ease, and that in the enjoyment Of his
otiun eEm dignitGte, the panther should ever be
his companion" The terrific applause which fol-
flowed was satisfactory evidence Of the apprecia-
ton entertained for this selfsacricing scientist.
The great enthusiasm manifested 30 affected
Prof. Howe that he was carried TO the laboratory,
whsre he was revived by free Inhalation Of car
bolio acid. 60.
The question being still open for discussion.
Prof Howe, who had 30 far recovered as TO be able
to resume his seat at the table, enlivensd the
occasion IN o manner which impressed the
strangers present that be was . man OF no lordi-
nary calibre. His hueney OF diction attracted
