Boots aud the Health Of Soldiers.

Those admirers of the Germans who,
since the successes achieved by the Prus-
slams i'll 1S70-71, would have ia put into
our army everything Prussian, even TO the
pickelhaube aud long boots, will do well,
the English BrOad ArrOtc says, to exam
inc the medical statistics recently pub
lished relative to the late war. From these
tables, prepared with that painstaking
and laborious care which is so marked
trait in German character, We learn that
no less than nearly 40, 900 men were placed
upon the sick list during the campaign,
suffering from injuries caused by the
long boots worn by the infantry, and
that in several cases the laceratiops were
of so serious nature that tetanus, ter
minat rg in death, supervened. UndOubt-
edly the ammunition boot at presentissued
to cur infantry is by no means perfect
clothing for the foot, and we hope ere
long TO see an improved pattern intro
duced; bat still it must he admitted that,
taking it all in all, it is a more service
able article than either the long boot of
the German or the shoe of the French
soldier The former is made to fit over
the instep; can with difficulty be taken off
when wet or when the feet are swollen
with much marching; if made loose, 10
facilitate putting on and off, chafes the
heel, which has too much play; while the
latter fails to keep out either mud or
dust

A Lion Tamer's Peril.

The journal dU HuUre rocounts a
terrible encounter betwee the hon tanner
Bidel and number Of wild beasts
Bidels custom was to go into the cage Of
these ferocious animals, accompanied by
sheep, which was by his presence kept
safe from attack. On a recent occasion
he proceeded TO the lions cage, and his
first act was to place the sheep on the
back OF a honess, as he had frequently
done before. No sooner had he accom-
plished this than a powerful lion sprang
upon the poor sheep, and buried it's
teeth into vital part OF its body. There
was n large number of spectators pres
cnt, and, as may be imagined, the sud
den act of the lion created an instant
and general panic. Bidel stepped for
ward, and with the utmost composure
struck the lion blow on the mouth with
q heavy stick, which made him crouch
and yell with pain, and throw his bleed
ing victim trembling at the feet Of the
courageous performer. La another mo-
ment, however, all the wild beasts We're
lashed into fury by the sight Of the
blood, and no one in the assembly be-
heved that Bidel coul.l possibly escape.
Preserving his presence of mind, how
ever, he kept the other animals at bay
until he had subdued the lion and chased
him back to his cage. He then fought
his way back through the other animals,
and midst the braves of the assembly
came out triumphantly, carrying his
wouuded sheep with him. The poor
animal, which was great .ayOrite of the
lion tanner, has since died of its wounds.

BY and by the priocipal drove along and
sold to each grocer few packages OF
very fine tea at low rate. The article
found ready purchasers, and where it
did not go off expeditiously enough The
same females called and bought the gro
GERS ont. The principal swindler then
came along with full load, and fonnd
no difficulty in disposipg of it. In a
very short time the grocers who bad
been taken in were overrun with irate
women who wanted to know why they
had been swindled, and an examination
of the second invoice disclosed the fact
that it was composed of trash Of every
imaginable description. OF course the
grocers saw it at once, but none of them
had taken the precaution to examine the
stuff while the swindler was present, and
so far as known he is now enjoying the
fruits of his rascality. One grocer in
Allegheny was taken in yesterday, bot
he is very reticent. III that tea peddler
is caught it will tie made warm for him. "
