Friendly Lions.

A native of Ukaranga told of q
village in which the people were on
most friendly terms with the lions,
which used to walk in and about the
village without attempting to injure
any one. On great occasions they
were treated to honey, goats, sheep,
and calves, and sometimes ut these
afternoon drums as manv rs two hun
dred lions assembled. Each lion was
known to the people by name, and TO
these they responded when called.
Aud when one died the Inhabitants
of the village mourned for him as for
one of themselves. THIS village is
reported to be situated on the shores
of Lake Tanganyika, not far distant
from Jumah Merikani's house; and
he also told me that the friendship
between the natives and the lions was
commonly spoken of, but he had
never been present at n of the
gatherings. The Mananga, however,
asserted that he had often witnessed
this friendly intercourse between
man and beast, and brought several
of his tribesmen to testify to the truth
Of his statement. Certainly, il this
be true. our most famous lion-tamers
have vet something % learn from the
natives of Africa.

POKING FUN
At the Proposed Reception of
General Grant.
From the New York sun.l


ALBANY, April 23.-In the Senate
Mr.. Davenport called up the Fish
resolution for a committee to receive
General Grant. Senator Pierce Of
fered an amendment appointing q
committee to attend the national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic of the United States, and
the annual meeting of the Army of the
Potomac, to be held in Albany on the
18th and 18th of June next, at which
President R. b. Hayes, Gov. HcClel-
Ian, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Hooker,
Gen. Franklin, Gen. S!ocum and
many other notables were expected.
Senator Ecclesine offered q further
amendment that the committee be di-
rected to invite to a participation in
the festivities Of the reception of Gen.
Grant, his distinguished friends Ma
jor-G General Belknap, Najor-G General
Babcock, Geo. w. Childs, A. NJ,
Anthony Drexel, Esq, the Hon. Geo.
NJ: Robson and Alexander III. Shep-
herd. Senator Sessions said, the
amendment was out of order, but his
point was not sustained. Senator
Ecclesine made qnite a speech. He
said of course the only reason why
the State OF New York, as a people,
should tender hospitalities to Gen.
Grant is because of bis military ca
reer. His services had not yet been
recognized fully, and comparatively
he had not been particularly recon-
pensed for his distinguished perform
ances. Now that he has made the
circuit of the globe, been the guest Of
all the crowned heads of Europe, and
has come back it is perfectly proper
to receive him as the distinguished
soldier of the Republic, and in doing
so his companions in arms should be
remembered. or curse the Senate
of New York 10 not going to contrib
ute to any mere political clap-trsp by
singing out one General. 1t would
be pleasant for Gen. Grant to meet
the distinguished Gen. II. B. Hayes,
whom he did so much to put where
he is. In addition TO this he would
esjoy the company Of his old COM
pa,ions. There might be other names
suggested than had been mentioned.
There are Governors OF States now
under temporary clouds-the Gov
ernor ofSouth Carolina, tn. Governor
of Georgia. who afterward made q
brief ~sojoun in Canada, the distin-
guished gentleman that improved the
city Of Washington, the distinguished
obituary poet, the distinguished bank
er, and in fact al that brilliant galaxy
of great and good men that he gath
cred around him 10 his last term in
Washington-sll hese gentlemen
would be willing to override the pre-,
csdent set by Washington and here
tofore observed by all bis successors,
and have him reelected; but of
course that view of the subject can
not be taken here. This Senate would
not lend itself to anything Of that
sort. 1t is animated by nothing but
the highest and most patriotic mo-
t~tives, by burning love OF patriotism
that rises above party and insists that
all the distinguished soldiers of the
Union are fit companions to be as
ISOLATED in welcoming home this dis
tinguished traveller.

The only item disallowed was your
deposit OF slS7,500 made january
20, 1873. From this action OF the
assignee an appeal was taken to the

Coates expresses q willingness TO Ia
~cilitate a trial, and you may rely

and who heard the evidence ana iuhy
