Egy ptian Flies and Rats.

A large stable contained the twenty
horses, which by great care had kept
their condition. It was absolutely nee
essary to keep them in dark stable on
account of the flies, which attacked all
animals in swarms. Even within the
darkened building it was necessary to
light fires composed of dried horsedung.
to drive away these prosecuting insects.
The hair fell completely off the ears and
legs of the donkeys (Which were allowed
to ramble about, owing to the swarms
of flies that irritated the skin; and in
spite of the comparative comfort of a
stable, the donkeys preferred a life of
outdoor independence, and fell off in
condition if confined to house. The
worst flies were the small gray ones
with long proboscis, similar to those
that are often seen in houses in England.
In an incredibly short time the station
fell into shape, constructed three
magazines of galvanized iron, each
eighty feet in height, and the head
storekeeper, Mr.. Marcopole, at last
completed his arduous task of storing
the immense amount of supplies thai
had been contained in the fleet of YES
sells. This introduced us to the White
Nile rats, which volunteered their SER
vices by thousands, and quickly took
possession of the magazines by tunnel
ing beneath, and appearing in the
midst OF rats paradise, among thou
sands of bushels of rice, biscuits, len
ills, etc. The destruction caused bv
these animals was frightful. They
gnawed holes in the sacks, and the con
tents poured upon the floor like sand
from an hourglass, to be immediately
attacked and destroyed by white ants.
There was no lime in the country, nor
stone of any kind, thus it was absolute
white ants except by the constant labor
of turning over the vast masses of boxes
and stores, to cleanse them from thu
earthen galleries which denote the pres
ence of the termites. ba

Christmas Morn.

Christmas morn what shouts of pleasure
Usher in the dawning light;
What rich stores of hidden treasure
Burst apon the raptured sight
All the air pulsates with gladness
Christmas voices, full of glee,
Ring out joyful: care and sadness
From each happy hearthstone flee.
Earth with grateful exultation,
Greets this blest and followed day,
And throughout each Christian nation
Earnest men rejoice and pray
ALI what memories. solemn, tender,
Cluster around the Saviour's birth
All what visions full of splendor
Lift our thoughts away from earth!
Love and faith, serenely smiling,
Beckon us from distant skies,
Heavenward our souls beguiling
Where the angels anthems rise.
Hopes divine our pathway brighten.
Scatter clouds of sin and WOO,
Every heavy burden tighten,
Sweet content and peace bestow.
Let us then, with merry voices.
Celebrate this blessed day:
Nature too, with us rejoices,
All the world lis bright and gay;
And the angel choirs are singing
Far beyond our mortal ken,
While the Christmas chimes are ringing.

nifty with which the mistletoe was thus
gathered caused the people to regard it
with the most superstitious reverence
and awe. Many centuries after the mis-
tletoe was believed to possess great
healing properties, and we are gravely

any one hang mistletoe about the neck,
the witches can have no power over
him." The witches have, fortunately
for themselves, and for mankind in gen
eral, taken their final departure; but
the mistletoe is still hung up in many
houses at Christmas time, suspended
from the ceiling, or over the doorway,
and under it the young men, and often
the old, claim the privilege of kiss
from the fairer sex "
In Sicily and Germany the mistletoe
is set up in the parlor for the Christmas
tree, and $ laden with gifts
But as each year after year goes by,
silently but swiftly gliding into the dim
land OF the past, some quaint, familiar
custom, which has been gradually fading
from our view, drops quietly away, and
is lost forever. So, many stately and
splendid cerem ony, many an innocent
sport, and many milder revel, which
once ushersd in the merry Christmas
time, has passed into oblivion, but
never, we may surely say, will the birth
day of our Saviour cease to be commem-
Grated, and may each Christmas be still
merrier than the last ~ Y. Mail.

" Tiger Dan.o

Heroes are not scarce in these modern
days, that is, men who were heroes but
few years back; but for all that, a
hero whose deeds are recent is still an
object of attention and respect. We
have one in our city who will go to
Galveston to-day, en- route to his friend.
"Tiger DAN is here. Do you know
who Tiger Dan is? Well tell you.
He is a young man twenty-nine years of
age; was soldier in the Confederate
army, serving in Virginia. Was for
two years government scout and
Indian guide, and being captured by
the Cheyenne Inuians, was kept a
prisoner two years before he escaped
from them. Some seven months or
more ago, he started across the plains
as guide for a small emigrant train 60
ing to the Pacific coast, or thereaways,
and was captured in a fight with the
Apache Indians ;up in Arizona. The
emigrants were killed, and he received
four wounds, from which he has not
yet recovered, being in almost help
less condition. Wounded and PROSTATE
as he was, he escaped from the Indian
captors and made his way through the
wilderness of prairie on our frontiers,
able only to drag himself along alone,
without the means of protection or sus-
tenance, starving and suffering with his
wounds until he reached the settle
ments, and found friends who believed
him dead and mourned his loss. He is
an Iri .hman by birth, and his name is
Daniel Lyman. There is no discount
on his pluck, and the soul within HIM is
as big as continent. His parents live
in Liverpool, and he has relatives in
New Jersey, to whom he is going

Attempted tedsAssassfnatio " Of the President
Of Peru.
PANAMA, September 4.-Advices from
Lima 70 August % give an account Of an
attempt to assassinate the President of
Peru. Letters had been received stating
that there was a conspiracy to murder him,
bu: the President refused to pay any atten.
ton TO them. The attack was made as the
President was leaving the palace to walk to
his house, which is situated about five blocks
from the government building. A number
of men had posted themselves, ready
tor the onslaught. Many shots were
fired, but none struck his excellency.
The leader Of the movement was wounded
and captured after hand to hand conflict
with Colonel Santa Maria. The other con.
sp;rators fed, but thirteen of them have
since been captured, and will be subjected
to rigorous trial. The plot was no doubt
q wide spread conspiracy among the discon-
tented unemployed military officers. TIE
people assembled IN great crowds before
the Presidents house and cheered him on
his escape.
