An officer stationed at Kalladgee, in
India, was once climbing a rocky hill,
when he and native who accompanied
him witnessed the following episode: A
poor monkey was being slowly enwrapped
in the volumiuous folds of an enormous
boa. its homes breaking like pine stems by
fhe pressure. Gradually the reptile un-
wound itself, leaving a crushed, unrecog
niZable mass. The numerous monkeys on
the rock were in the greatest state of eN-
element. running wildly about, gesticu-
lating, chattering. and moaning, though
of course powerless to help their comrade.
While the snake was commencing its
gorge, and before its body began to flll
and swell. the officer and native went in
quest Of a stout cudgel and sharp knife,
expecting to make ii an easy prey as soon
a. il should be filed to repletion.
When they returned to the scene Of the
strife, the boa lay thoroughly gorged, be
meath projecting mass of cliff, looking
more like log than anything more lively.
On the summit above troop of monkeys
were assembled, and three or four of the
largest and strongest were occupied in
displacing a massive fragment Of rock,
already lossened by the rains from the
main ledge. BY enormous exertion-made,
too, with a silence quite unusual to monk
eys-they at length succeeded in pushing
the rock until it trembled just over the
boa's head; then, uttcring a yell Of tri-
umph, they dropped it over the miniature
precipice. II struck the boa on the head

gle, there was a general chorus of exulta-

The greatest difference WAS obseryahl,
in the children as to their capacity to lifl
their limbs and adjust their bodies. Some
OF the best formed girls seemed to have
grown too large, and had no lift abou,
them, while other little things who would
not attract the eye at first were presently
seen to be graceful, light and bright.
Here would be tall girl with every en-.
dowment for favorite dancer; long,
Nraight limbs, not too stiff or heavy, well
turned, flexible, and all that would be
observable about her to her prejudice was
a certain consumptive pallor as il she had
not the vital strength to keep the actiy-
ity up.
Again would be seen girl of as mature
and intelligent face as woman, and
adapted like many other American faces
We see in New York people, to inspire re-
spect, and almost wonder for its highly
composed and subtle conditions. This
girl, it would be presently seen, had no
length of limb, but was short from the
knee to the ankle, and might, therefore,
never command the muscular length and
tension to distinguish herself
After we had looked at these girls for
half an hour | asked the teacher how
many of them were Americans. He said
all but one or two were born in New
York; that few were born of foreign
parents, but that the most apt scholars
were the children of Americans. He said
that he could teach the native children of
American parent stock quicker than his
own country people.-"Gath" in Cincin-
