Tiger Hunting In India.

The Delhi Ga>enc of April 2S says
Capt. l.. Boldcn met with his death at
Mandulgurh. 1t is a village about forty or
nifty miles from Shapoora, and about sixty
from Nemuch. ShapOora is about forty
miles from Nusseerabad, where the head
quarters Of the Sixty-eighth are. 1t was
the middle of the day, on Wednesday, the
18th, that large male tiger showed him
sell to the beaters iearlessly. One he seized
indeed, by the shoulder and he is not expect
ed to live. lie was close to another, who
however being shouted to, bolted out of his
way. The hunting party consisted OF Capt.
Bolden and Mr.. Bayers. from Neemuch and
Lieut.. Goad, from Nusseerabad The form
er were on elephants after the tiger. Mr..
Bayers in a howdah. the other driving his
animal seated on sort Of extemporized
cloth saddle only The tiger appears to
have displayed great cunning and fearless
ness, and escaping the Iball aimed at it, sud
denly by flank maneuvre, jumped on Capt.
Bolden's elephant from behind Both ele-
phants rushed away, and very soon Mr.
Bayers found himself still in his h0wdah, Il
couple OF miles from the scene Had Can't
Bolden's elephant been as fearless as himself,
the tragic story had ended differently. As
it was, when his terror-stricken elephant
rushed madly from his assailant, the rider
was thrown backward, and must have fallen
into the very jaws of the infuriated lord Of
the forest, who forsook the elephant to exc
cute his will with teeth and claws on his
newly acquired prey. His object seems to
have been merely to disable, for having fear
fully laceratcd the lower limbs, it is said he
galloped after the elephant again. All this
was the work Of an instant, and ere the
terrified onlookers (of whom Mr.. Bayers
was not one) could draw their breath the
tiger was out of sight. The wounded man
was carried somehow to his tent too far
away, and letters were hurried off to Deolee
and to Nusseerabad for help The cavalry
surgeon from the former station was the
first to reach. The news did not reach
Nusseerabad till Friday morning, and DR.
Henry Waghorn, himself an eminent shika-
rec, started off at once on camel to the OBJ
scure spot where the wounded man was "

all night, but with Sundays dawn it was
evident that the poor fellow would not see
another. Ills intellect was unclouded, but
the shock to his powerful frame, and posi-
bly, poison from the tigers teeth or claws
were too much. lie sent a last greeting to
his Colonel in reply to Il letter that had Just

GEN HANCOCE'S WELCOME TO THE GRADUATING
CADETS.
Great responsibilities in time of danger
are not given to the Ignorant, to the sloth-
fnl, or to those who have impaired their
powers Of mind and body by the indulgences
Of life. In times Of danger favorites are
discarded. When work Is to be done, deeds
performed,i 4 men of action have their oppor-
tunities, and fail not to seize them. 1t is
the interest of commanders that such men
should be selected for service, when success
or failure may follow according to the Sc
lection, as the instrument may be sharp or
dull, good or bad, would say to you, lead
active. temperate. studious lives, develop
your physical qualities as well as your men,
tai. Regard the education you have ac-
quired here as but rudimentary pursue
your studies in the line of your profession
US well as in such other branches of science
or language as may best accord with your
inclinations. 1t will make you greater in
your profession, and cause you to be inde-
pendent Of it. The latter is but prudent in
these practical days. Study to lead honor
able, useful, ana respected lives. Even if
no opportunity presents for martial glory,
you will not fail to find your reward. Avoid
the rocks Of dissi sipation, of gambling, OF
debt. Lead those manly lives which will
always find you in health in mind and body,
free from entanglements Of whatever kind i,
and you may be assured you will find oppor-
tunitles for great services, when otherwise
would have been overlooked or passed BY.
knowledge derived from books
may bring great distinction outside of the
field of war, as an expert in the science of
military profession and in others but the
lessons of hard service are salutary and
necessary to give the soldier practical un-
derstanding OF the world and its ways as he
will encounter them in war. advise you
to go when young to the plains-to the
wilderness. Seek active service there put
of the days Of indulgence and case Those
should follow wears. Take with
you to the frontier your dog, rod and gun

such adjuncts will 90 far to give you health
and the vigor to meet the demands to be
made upon you in trying campaigns, and to
enable you to establish the pysical condition
necessary TO maintain life of vigor, such as
the soldier requires. And by no means leave
your books behind you. There
are many 'extreme western" posts to-day.
The Yellowstone will serve your purpose
well. And ifanY of you wish to seek that
service, your taste will not be difficult to
crafty, for the hardest lessons will certainly
be avoided by many. Gentlemen, bid you

Tweed. lie relates the progress Of the suit
against Sweeney, detailing tho different
stages of the case up to and including the
acceptance of $4,000 IN compromisr
thereof. This course was taken on recon-

i. Nash, counsel for the people, " no re.
ported to the attorney general that thi,
was the most advisable course in
view OF the fact of the possible disagree

trial and tho fact that even if verdict was
obtained the defendant would, under pre-
vious stipulation, be allowed to leave the

would probably not realize over SIOO, 900.
