Introductions Mt a Ball.

It is clearly the duty Of the hostess
at a ball or dancing party to endeavor
to provide her guests with partners,
and for that purpose she must either
make introductions herself or through
the help Of others. She must always
ask permission before presenting a gen
tleman to a lady-permfssion that
should new er be refused unless the lady
has very good and strong . for
declining to make the gentleman's &C
%Iuaintance. Young men often present
each other to young ladies, and 1t is en-
tirely proper that they should do 30 II
they have first asked leave. A gentle
man may also ask a lady, If he knows
her we'll, to introduce him to another
lady when a proper opportunity shall
occur. OF course he should neither
wish nor expect his friend to- cross q
crowded o with him to make the
introduction, because she would be left
to make a bad third, or else retrace her
way alone. The situation would be
awkward, except for one Of the ladies

IN A BUFFALO'S HEAD.
singular Charge With Which Il
Hunter Killed q Bull.

singular Charge With Which =
Hunter Killed q BULL.
The buffalo Of Ceylon carries his head
I'm q peculiar manner-the horns thrown
back and his nose projecting on a level
with his forehead-thus securing him
from a fatal front shot. This renders
him a dangerous enemy, as he will re-
ceive any number of balls from a small
gun in the throat and chest without
showing the least distress. In 1.-THE RI
1e and Hound in Ceylon" an account
of a dangerous encounter with this ami
NAL is given. The writer had fired
without killing the buffalo and had not
a ball left. With q stealthy step and
a short grunt the bull advanced upon
the man, seemingly aware Of his help
lessness.
"Suddenly a bright thought flashed
through my mind. Without taking my
eyes off the animal I put a double
charge of powder down the right-hand
barrel, and, tearing Of a piece Of my
j shirt, I took all the money from my
pouch, three shillings in sixpenny pieces
and two anna pieces.
Quickly making them into a roll with
the piece Of rag, I rammed them down
the barrel. They were hardly we'll
home before the bull sprang forward. I
had no time even to replace the ramrod,
and threw it in the water. bringing my
gun on full cock at the same instant.
II now had a charge in my gun
which, If reserved until he was within
a few feet Of the muzzle. would certain
" floor him. The horns were lowered,
their points were on either side Of me.
and the muZzle Of the gun barely touch
ed his forehead when I pulled the trig-
change ratified into the hard head.
"Down he went and rolled over with
the suddenly checked momentum of his
charge. Away went B and l as
fast as our heels would carry us,
through the water and over the plain,
knowing that he was not dead, but on
" stunned.
There was a large fallen tree about
half q mile from us whose whitened
branches, rising above the ground, Of.
fered a tempting asylum. TO this we
directed our steps, and after a run of
one hundred yards we turned and look.
ed behind us. The buffalo had regained
his feet and was following us slowly.
We now experienced the difference of
feeling between hunting and being hunt
ed. .
by degrees the bulls pace slackened
and he fell. We were only too glad to
be able to reduce speed, but We
had no sooner stopped to breathe than
he was up again and after us. AT
aength, however, we gained the tree,
and beheld him stretched powerless
upon the ground within two hundred
yards Of u.s."
