The Lions Tongue,

The very peculiar formation of the lions tongue did not escape the notice of our anatomist, but he does not say much about
 it. have now in my hand the dried tongue of a lion; it is covered with sharp pointed
 horny papill@, set very thickly upon it's surface. The papille on the front portion
 of the tongue are much larger than those in the rear part of the tongue, but the smaller ones are set much closer together than those in front. Each papilla consists of horny spine, the point of which is curved and set directly backwards, remind ing me much of the spines on the tail of the thornback ray. On applying this lions tongue to the cheek find that the roughness is so great that with a little pressure a wound might easily be made in the human skin. The use of this is to scrape of the meat from the bones of the animals, for the lion is not great bone eater-he leaves the bones for the hyenas to crack, those animals having teeth especially constructed for the cracking of bones. This peculiar roughness of the tongue is also present, but in a less degree, in the common cat, and it can be seen when the cat is tapping milk, but still better if the tongue of defunct specimen be taken out, put for while in spirits, and then pinned out tight on board. This rough tongue is of great importance to the health of the lion

This accomplished, they snatch up a few sticks, throw their body into contorted position, and stand or crouch immovable until their unsuspicious enemies have galloped by.

An officer, with party of horse, was chasing small body of Bheel robbers, and was fast overriding them. Suddenly the robbers ran behind rock or some such ob- stacle, which hid them for a moment, and when the soldiers came up the men had mys- teriously disappeared. After an unavailine search, the officer ordered his men to dis mount beside a clump of scorched and withered trees; and the day being very hot, he took of his helmet and hung it on a branch by which he was standing The branch turned out to be the leg of a Bheel, who burst into a scream of laughter, and flung the astonished officer to the ground.

The Missouri Land Frauds.

The United States drand Jury at st.
Louis has not yet made q report in
these cases, and we hear rumors as va
ried a. they are plentiful. One man
who claims to know, says that the
prisoners are certain to go up under a
score Of indictments speedily to be
found, while another knowing individ-
ual turns his nose heavenward a nd de-
clares "there isn't the shadow of a case
for the Government" Each of our
readers can put his faith in the state
ment he.deems best, and meantime all
any Of US can do is to wait and see.
Apropos Of the subject, we copy the
following from the Globe Den,ocrdt's
special dispatches from Washington of
the 4th inst:
The startling exposure Of land frauds In Mis-
souri, whereby 1.COJ.l0o acres of land have
been transferred on false patents, betrayed 3
looaeness of things in the conduct of the Cen
eral Land Office which demands investigation.
II the SVEN statement of clerks of the Land
Once is worth anything as evidence, it would
appear that Commissioner Williamson himself
has an exc .edingly queer way Of doing bust
ness. Your correspondent has an affidavit in
his possession made by q gentleman who kept
q record OF atents in 1877 in the Land Office.
In this he charges that land patents were writ
ten up by Williamson's daughter aud charged
to John Smith," that he was directed to take
blank 'orms of patent Ger ifcates to the Com
missioner's house, and there instructed Miss
Williamson in the art of filing them out; that
all such work was CHARGED to John Smith,"
and the record was thus habitually falsitied |
with the knowledge of Commissioner William |
son. In addition to this affidavit, the names |
of two clerks of the Land Office are given In |
evidence Of this singular mode doing of bust
ness. Deuonent also states that all this was
done under charge Of secrecy.
