The Prince OF wales An HePaul.
MUNDIA CHAT, March 5th.-The
Prince of Wales interesting exeur-
sions to the TeFrai were brought to
close yesterday, when he killed his
last tiger in Nepaul-a very fine an!
imal-not far from the camp. To-
day he left Nepaul, and he is now
again in British territory.
Jung Bahadoor was resolved that
the Prince of Wales should have IT,
gers to XIII, and he is q man whose
resolutions generally are thorough
And when he means killing tigers
he sees it is done. In the angle Of
Nepaulese Terai, formed By the
bend of the Sardah river from Ja1
mao to the left bank opposite
Mundia Chat. there is a very scaDt
population and scarcely any cultiYa-
tion. Its a PLAIN covered with for
ests swamps and prairies, and it is
specially preserved for tigers for
jung Bahadoor, one good reason be-
ing that men and women cannot
live there, or, at least they believe
they cannot; and so the country Is
deserted by the whole population as
soon as the unhealthy season begins,
and they retire with their herds 70
the bills, whence they come to grace
their cattle in winter. Twenty
eight tigers have been killed--the
great majority by the Prince of
Wales. Bears, leopards, great num-
bers of deer and some small game
have also been added to what can
scarcely be called the bag with pro-
priety when it is considered that IT,
gers form the bulk, of the contents.
The preparation had been carefully
worked out on q colossal scale, and
not mile of Jungle in the angle has
been left unbeaten or unguarded; /;
but tigers have escaped, neyerthe-
less. It has been great good fortune
that no one has been seriously hurt
in the expedition. The mahouts and
elephants clawed by tigers last week
are doing well. The Prince has
lived among the natives, and, al
though there were regiments Of sol
Adiers, they were there for che puf-
pose Of doing him honor, and not
for the security Of his person. His
mahOut who was accused Of timidity
yesterday, when the tiger waslying-
down, said Why should ! not be
afraid of having the Shahzadab, who
had trusted himself to me, hRrt ? p
The only hurt the Prince has had
was caused by the stings of bees up
on his face, but they were exceed
ingly painful for the time. 81
Some curious things have been
seen in Nepaul. The day the Prince
crossed the Sardah and visited Jung
Bahadoor's camp, be was shown an
enoI nous boa constructor which was
dug out of its hole in lethargic
state and reused to some sort of life
by pouring buckets of water down
its throat, which it scornfnlly eject
ed. 1t was as thick as a 9-pounder,
and some eighteen feet long, and II
seemed an amiable reptile. But
close at hand, coded round the
branch of a tree, was another py'
thon, which was of more evil dispo
sition, for when Jasg Bahadoor sent
up man to cut out the branch, 90
that the serpent fell With > heavy
thud to the ground, it raised itl
head menacingly and moved pyeI
once or twice as if TO attack, bat
eventually eOiled itself round the
branch, and, like q true philosopher,
went to sleep. The collection Of liV.
