Consulting thc Entns.

There are few nations, and few indi- viduals even, that would now look to the events of chance for any knowl- edge of the future. A late instance of what used Go be a common form of div. iuation was reported in one of the London newspapers at the time when there was war between England and Ashautee The king of Ashantee con suited his fetish men Tn order to find out from them what his future fate was to be and the result of his opposition Co tho English. He, therefore, after having resOrtcd to various means without success, ordered two he goats to be selected and brought before him, one entirely black, the other of a spotted white color. This was done, and after due fetish ceremonies had heen performed over the two goats, they were set at each other. The white goat easily overcame and killed his opponent. Koffee Calcaili, after this test, was satisfied that he was loomcd to defeat tt the hands of the white man. He immediately sent an embassy to Sir Garnet Wolsely to sue f3l. peace

 The rapacity of the pike is well known, Fish, flesh and fowl seem alike acceptable to its palate, and it does not disdain mineral products; rings, spoons, plummets and other articles have been frequently taken from its maw. The best authenticated instance of attempt- ed mauslaughter by the pike Is that recorded in Fishing

 Aiy son had scarcely turned around before the fish came up behind him, and. scizing his other hand crosswise, inflicted some very deep wounds on the back of it, The boy raised his free hand, which was still bleeding, and struck the great fish hard blow on the head, when it disappeared The other boys assisted my son to dress, bound up his hand with thoir haudlicr. chiefs and brought him home
