A Paris Sensation.

Lucy HOOPER writes from Paris, Feb
2, to the Philadelphia Telegraph: 8 Con
siderable excitement was created at the
Jardin des Plantes yesterday by an acci-
dent which happened there to little child
not quite five years DID, The nurse who
had charge of the little fellow had placed
him on the edge Of the railing surround
ing the bear pit, still keeping him encir-
cled with her arm A sudden movement
released the child from her clasp, and he
fell headlong into the pit, then tenanted
by two full-grown bears. A Universal
shrek from every one present greeted this
accident, as it was of course thought that
the bears would instantly seize the little
intruder and tear him to pieces. But
whether the bears were tanned by long
familiarity with the public, or whether
they were intimidated by the universal
outcry, has not been decided, but at all
events they made no attempt to molesi
the child. How to get him out was the
next question. The keeper happened q
that moment to be absent, and it would
never have done to trust too long TO the
forbearance Of the savage inmates OF the
pit. In this emergency workingman
came forward, climbed down into the pit,
picked up the child, and climbed Out
again, the bears seeming TOO much -as-
tonished at these summary proceedings Ia
offer any objection to them. This done,
the man placed the little creature In the
nurses arms, and retired amid the ap.
plause of the crowd The child was very
slightly injured, sprained wrist being
the only result of its fall This morning

The Earrings OF the Cochin China
Girls. 5gisl1vEu1

BUT human nature is weak, especially
feminine human nature, in the adornment
question, and vanity runs to the ears oi
the Cochin girls. Their earrings are won.
derful to behold. They cannot, indeed,
be rightly called earrings. They are more
like the bungs of hogshead. At the ten
derest years the little children have great
gashes cut In the lobes OF their ears, tor.
toise shell plugs inserted to stretch them,
and as they grow older the plugs are en-
larged till, at maturity, they appear with
things like snuff boxes, the size of mod.
crate pair of fists. almost always of tor
toisc shell, sometimes of ivory, plain for
everyday wear, but for grand occasions
elaborately inlaid with gold and silver,
and on every grand occasion the ear plugs
are of solid gold weighing a pound or
more apiece, and carved in the most dis
tracing way. l think Eve remarked be-
fore that the Cochin jewelers. are greatly
skilled in their trade, especially rspousse
work, which is now getting 50 fashion
able here, and they expend their very
best energies on the earrings for the
Cochin bellies. 1t is wondersnl how they
work, with tiny forges and tiny blowpipes
blown by tiny boys, enormous horn
goggles and little hammers and dammer,
or soft coft composition to form basis,
for their punching operation, and the
purest gold and silver, and little bellows
worked by theirtoes. Fingers, toes, nose
and eyes snap and CLINT as they rapidly
ply their task. Four annas, or twelve
cents, which is the regular cody or days

The Elephant and Lion.

IT is related by Maj Leveson, in his
late work, entitled "Sport in Many Lands, !"
that, in the course of his hunting expe.
ditions in. India and Africa, he has slain
876 elephants. The habits of the game
of every sort which he sought were
studied with patient attention; and, as
the result of long observation of the pro-
ceedings of the elephant, he gives this
summary of the language of the huge
beast: Elephants utter four distinct
sounds. each of which is indicative of a
certain meaning. The first is shrill-
whistling noise, produced by blowing
through the trunk, which denotes salts
faction. The second is the note of alarm
or surprise-a sound made by the mouth,
which may be thus initiated: pr-r,n, DR.
sut. The third is the trumpeting noise they
make when angry, which, when they are
very much enraged, and when charging
an assailant, charges into hoarse roar
or terrific scream. The fourth sound
betokens dissatisfaction or distress, fire.

the former OF which may be divided into
two varieties, and the latter into three,
viz. the yellow named, the black-maned
and the gray lion. The first of the A.ri-
can varieties is the largest and most pow
erful. while the third is often seen in
groups Of ten or q dozen, hunting In the
vast plains of Central Africa. OF the con-
tinuous roaring made by lions when
searching for food in the night, Maj.
Levesoa says: When lion and lion
ess are in company, the lioness is always
the first to roar, and this at the moment
of leaving the lair. The lion alternates
with the 1ioness, and in this manner they
proceed on their way, roaring every quar-
ter Of an hour, until they have ap-
preached the douar, or village, which
they propose despoiling; and, when their
appetites are satisfied, they often again
recommence roaring, and continue until
daylight"
