They now have a tough fellow named
Jack Fay in hand, and he shows no sign;
of penitence or failing health.

Should the rope happen TO break, they

expected such accidents will happen.
THE Indian or Brahmin bull, often
called the zebu, extends over southern
Asia and the Eastern Islands, is also
found in Eastern Africa, and is common
to the northwest Himalayss. They are
venerated by the Hindoos, who object to
slaughtering them, but use them in
harness, and they will travel about
thirty miles day. These oxen have
pendulous ears, and are distinguished
by fatty, elevated hump upon the
withers, which sometimes weighs fifty
pounds, and when properly cooked is
said to be delicious. The flesh of the
animal is not, however 80 pslatable as
that of the common OK.
The Goajirs Indians, who inhabit the
sescoast north Of Aspinwsll, are a fierce
and fighting race, numbering about
10000 In their domestic life, the most
singular feature is the fact that the
father has no control over the children.
The mothers brother or the next nearest
relation on the mothers side usurps the
authority of the father, the reason being
that everybody knows that the uncle
and mother are brother and sister, while
there may be doubts as to the identity
OF the father. In inheriting rank or
property, and in the distribution of val.
uables, the testimony of the mother as
to the rights of the children outweighs
that of the father.
A CELEBRATED English physician SAYS
that pedestrian exercise particularly ex.
hausts the spine and brain, and is, there
fore, the kind OF exercise less suited to
intellectually hard working men. IL is
on this account that horseback exercise
is the kind of medicine it is-the horse
having the fatigue, and the rider the ex-
ercise. To sufficiently jar and agitste
the liver and other internal organs for
some convalescents, the legs and loins
must be overworked. The thorough
shake-up which is got in the saddle is
without effort, or with the effort of only
such muscles as can best afford it; and
the student-rider comes back with phy-
steal forces refreshed, besides The exhils-
ration of movement fo- the spirit and
the change of mind.
THE botrothal of Prince Henry of
Luxembourg, the King of the Neither
lands brother, is the daughter of Prince
Frederick Charles of Prussia, says the
London World, is an undoubted step
toward the absorption, il not of Holland,
at least of Luxembourg, into the German
confederation. The bridegroom expect.
ant will be fifty. eight in June the bride
is twenty-eight. Prince Henry only
decided on his marriage when the Prince
Of Orange, his nephew, refused every
marriage that was offered him, including
the very bride the uncle is now going to
wed. The Prince of Orange has been
talked TO, preached at, entreated, but he
will not give up his riotus Partisan life,
and refuses point blank to marry; while
his Younger brother can not obtain q
wife, all proposals made on his behalf
having been negatived on account OF his
i'll health.
WHAT says nature? Beholdthe ami.
