shows to the finest advantage in his excel

hero of terrible emergencies, the master of
ingenuity in thrilling situations, the lover,
the scout and the daredevil, Frank Mayo,
has had no superior in the personations
shown in Davy Crockett. The piece from
end to end isone chain of absorbing interest,
and like the inimitable Col. Sellers 1. will
hold the boards as one of those stirling
pieces that will never satiate the public

i wrter in Land and Water Says:
L saw curious case, recently, of
what | may call the hereditary in
'stinct' OF an;:lmals. I was in field
m which there were some five and
twenty COWS and a bull grazing. 1t
was Sunday, and all was quiet and
still. I heard low roar or below.
I Thought it was the bull, but every
animal IN the field lifted their heads
and left of grazing. There was
another loud roar, and all the COWS
began walking towards and "center-
ing on the bull, just as if they were
going to mob a dog, and while I re-
mained watching them, they kept
at s'attention," not resuming tbeir
grazing, Wombell's menagerie was
about quarter of a mile from the
field, and the roar was the roar of a
lion. It must have been hundreds,
aye perhaps Thousands CT years
since the ancestors Of these cattle
heard the roar of liou, but still
they recognized it as an enemy"

Indian Ceremonies.

An intelligent correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Chronicle has been Wis
iting Two Beaf1 and the Biackfeet,
at Standing Rock, on the Upper
Missouri. He gives this account OF
a sacrifice to the Indian Devil: "a
dog is killed by torture, and divided
into four pats, which are put into
four kettles, ana set on the fire till
boiled tender, or till he is supposed
to be as tender as dog ought to be.
A young squaw, supposed to repre-
sent chastity, strips herself entirely
nude, and to the sound of a low
chant by her associates, and vigor-
Gus beating on a drum Or tom-tom,
performs q peculiar dance, with q
sidelong motion, around the fire on
which are the kettles containing the
pieces of dog, all the time mutter-
ing some incantation. At signal,
the young braves, or old ones either,
in turn step up to one of the kettles
and, reaching in hand an arm, take
out piece of boiling meat, tear off
a mouthful, and swallow it. They
keep taking out the scalding mess
and eating it till the skin of hands,
lips and mouth hang in whitened
shreds; and all this time no sign of
pain finds an expression on any face,
and the seething morsels are slowly
and deli ra' ,ly swa'-
lowed, with d composure absolutely
diabolical. The miserable dupes,
like those of many another religious
delusion, feel themselves the better
for it." The aboriginal notion is
that, if they torture themselves, and
evince insensibility to pain, they
will convince the Evil One that it
is not worth while to waste his time
in affecting them.

Cratory VS.. Journalism.

The day for speeches has gone with
Webster, Clay. Calhoun. with a their
,r..oqaence. could not move this genera
ton as they did their own age. The rea"
son is that the press has superseded the
forum. When the country was small
and newspapers were few voters were
obliged to degend upon public speakers
for their political ideas. Mass meeting S
were then serious matters and had di>
rect effect upon the canvass. Now they
are mere celebrations, in which parties
utter their enthusiasm. The last Of the
great debates was probably when Lin
coin met Douglas on the stump in Hi
nois and argued the questions OF the
day in the immediate presence of the
people. But speeches are not now made
to be heard, but to be read. The great
orator who speale in hall cares far
| less for his thr or four thousand audi
tors than forshis hundred thousand read
ers. Another reason why oratory is be-
coming every year less effective in mov-
ing the people is that it is preceded by
! the press. Mr.. Bristow made a good
speech the other day in New England
but his argument had all appeared be
fore in the republican journals. Mr..
Durand spoke at Hartford, but his ideas
had previously been expressed in the
democratic newspapers. The true field
for political oratory, so far as it is to
have direct effect, is in the State Le-
gislatures or on the floor of Congress
There personal magnetism often has an
electrical Influence This was slgnally
shown in the last session OF the House.
when Mr.. Blaine's eloqaence baf.led his
opponents aud Mr.. Knott was defeats d
by Mr.. Hale. Notwithstanding the demo-
cratic majority.
