The Kangaroo.

Lamb-like as is the face of the kanga-
roo, tender and soft as are his eyes, he
is by no means so gentle as he looks.
Like the heather Chinee, his counte-
nance bellies him, and there are few more
exciting and withal dangerous sports
than kangaroo chasing. To the hunter
seeking for some new sensation, visit
to the wilds of Australia in search of
kangaroo can be recommended. 1t re-
quires n feet horse to run an "old man
down if he gets a fair chance to show
tail, and strong, well-trained dogs to
tackle him when brought to bay. In
side his soft, dewy lips are strong, for
midable teeth, which can bite severely.
His forepaws, weak as they seem, can
lift dog high in air and crush him to
death; while, when lying down, his ia
yorite attitude, he can kick with his
powerful hind legs in a manner that
rapidly clears circle around him; and
woe betide the man or dog that comes
within reach of those huge claws, which
can make a flesh wound deep enough tc
MAIN the one or kill the other. Oh
course, we here speak of the great kan,
CARGO, the boomer, or old man, of the
colonists. As a matter of fact, there are
some thirty different kinds of kangarooi
tinhabiting various parts of Australia
and one species peculiar to New Guinea
They vary in size from the tiny hare
kangaroo of South Australia, the most
agile of its kind, which is but little
larger than a rabbit, to the several giant
species, whether black, red, brown OF

any other nature extant. All these, how
ever, lie dormant in thin sack, woven
Of modesty, timidity, coyness and gentle
ness. Once shake them up and you may
look out for a blaze, accompanied by a
peculiar kind of thunder
Woman flesh is thought by some to be
a confection, composition of sugar and
molasses, or some other saceharine mat
ter Grant that it is all sweetness; yet
would have you know that when the
acid of anger, insult, or ill-nature comes
in contact with it, such an effer vescenee
occurs as one never saw exemplified in
ginger pop, seidlitz powders or soda
water.
Women, when put out of tune, are
like summer storms. At first they are
cloudy-make no noise, but their think
ing machines are busy in motion. Then
comes the thunder-ripping, tearing
thunder! and the lightning that flashes
from their eyes is enough to appal the
stoutest of hearts. You fall back in
wonderment, if not perfectly amazed.
Unwilling to retreat further; and not
having a chance or the courage to slip
in a pitiful "boo" you stand and take it
like hitched horse in hail storm.
When the wrath of the feminine has
nearly expired, you pluck up courage
and are down on her with argument,
reasoning and reprimand; but is all this
going to make her turn tail7 Not bit

lightning, she begins to rain; she knows
what effect that will have. With i'm
petuous showers she drenches the furious
fire that burns in your bosom, and adds
freshness to every bud and blossom of
feeling.
Then you begin to give in-she begins
to clear off-her sky grows brighter, she
goes to the expense of smile, her
whole horizon, landscape and ladyscope,
look charming, gay, and serene, and you
can't help giving her a kiss, and ac-

So you see, my friends, that the women
are bound to get the better of us. In
them you behold the wild cat, the lamb,

loving dove. With one or the other
they are sure to effect their purpose.
They are called the weaker sex; but

"Do you want money!? ,FOf csursc.-
Come along, then, and doas bid you"
They took cab and drove TO Scribc's,
where Dumas instructed his companion
to walk up and down the pavement
while he went into the house. On arriy-
ing, Dumas dashed into Scribe's room,
exclaiming, "They have caught me:
must go to Clichy" "Impossible. How
much money is itT' "a mere nothing

stepped to the window and saw the
stranger keeping guard near the vehicle.
He gave Dumas the money aud the lat
ter took his departure in great haste.
His companion received 500f, aud the
rest he kept for himself. A few days
later meeting was held BY the Society
of Dramatic Artists, at which Scribe
presided. There was only few mem
bers present, and Dumas, with his feV
low-worker, sat in the first row. oil
rising to open the meeting, Scribe recocA
nized the shabby fellow, and angrifiN
called for the servant to throw the ~
officer out of the room. Such "a
had no business there" In tho "A -
