The PeriIs Of P~iE-suckIng in India.

The PerfIs of Pig-stfcking in India,
London telegraph
During the course Of the Princes 10.
dian tour the proverbial iondness Of En-.
glish gentlemen for sport has been very
remarkably exempli6ed. Wherever game
Of any kind, big or small, could be got
at, his Royal Highness and his compan.
ions went after it, and on one occasion,
as fishing became the only resources, a
net was put out int the sea, ana a catch
made of some quasi-mackerel aud other
small fry, which, we are told, when pre-.
pared for the table. we're pronounced 10
eat very like flannel stuffed with pins.
The chief excitement, however, has cen
tered round the pig sticking. We have
all heard how several pigs have fallen to
the Princes spear. and the peculiar
quickness OF eye and hand and security
Of seat which pole practice most un-
doubtedly confers has stood the royal
party in good stead. An accident on the
last occasion has unfortunately occurred
to interrupt the sport. Lord Darlington,
a telegram informs us, has been rolled
over in a gallant attempt to drive his
spear into the chine of a more than usu-
ally wiry porker. and is now suffering
from a broken collar-bone. Pig-sticking
is risky sport even for most experienced
veterans; and, although Lord Darlington
has as good a seat to hounds, there are
yet a thousand chances OF the field
against which neither skill, practice nor
nerve, however great, Raord the least
protection. Among ourselves a mole
burrow, a blind drain, or a rabbit-hole,
may bring to grief the best-mountad and
boldest rider in the whole field
and in a country more rough
and open than England, and
with a quarry not only cunning but posi-
lively aggressive and dangerous, the ele-
ments Of hazard are, OF course, proper
tionately increased. Fortunately, for q
robust and vigorous young man, a bro
ken collsr-bone is no very serious mat
ter, and as we state elsewhere-Lord Car
ington is rapidly progressing toward re-
covery. A fox.hunter makes light Of
such a triie, regarding it only as an an
noying interruption to his seasons sport.
At the same time, the accident will serve
to show certain critics who have never
set eyes upon a boar except in a pen at
the Geological Gardens, that pig-Stickiug
is a very different kind of sport indeed
from battue-shooting. The Indian pig"
as he is affsctionately termed, is a wiry
hog backed little beast, who can run like
a greyhound, and bears tusks hat will
cash like a bowie.kniIe. His first in
stiGct is to bolt; out, if he is pressed, he
will turn as boldly as a rat driven into a
corner, and will charge both horse and
rider with all the rush of a rocket. Pig
sticking, in short, is exciting and hazard
GUS, requiring GOODNESS, judgment and
daring, as we'll as horsemanship; and it
says no little for the pluck and courage
Of English gentlemen that the Prince
and his companions should have taken
TO the boar.spear as if they had been to
the fashion born, and should have &C.
quilted themselves so creditably and gal
lantly.

A curious fact has lately been ascer.
tanned in relation to the volcanic rocks
on the .Isle of ST. Paul. Those on the
north side Of the crater, which result
from the slips whereby all the east side
Of the mountain is laid bare, attract the
two poles of a magnet, and contain six
per cent. of iron. Those met with around
the one of scori@ situated at the foot
Of the exterior slopes of the crater, on
the sea shore, are the true magnets with
two poles, containing fourteen per cent.
Of iron. The observations made for
declination and inclination indicates the
local action of a south pole toward the
center Of the crater, a fact which should
warn nayigstors to guard against the
magnetic influence of the isle.
