some of the allegations that are

is despised at home for his fool

is writted down as the long cared

pleasant either way.

The following is an incident which
came under the observation of the
writer: Two young horses kept IN
a pasture with a number of COWS and
year old calf were accustomed to
come up to the gate every night with
the COWS, the oldest leading the line
and the younger bringing up the rear.
Owing TO Il want of water in the
pasture, some sheep were brought to
the one III which the horses and
COWS were kept, and these sometimes
followed the COWS when they came
at night TO be MIXED. One night
they did SO, and when all the ami.
mails were standing together the ram
butted the calf, which could not de.
fend itself, and the older colt, going
over TO it, seized the ram by the wool
on its back, and, lifting it entirely off
the ground, shook it vigorously. He
then placed it on the ground, and ii
quickly ran away, while the horse
continued to stand guard over his
friend.-Our Dumb Animals.

Alligator az Food.

But in India have seen the Sontals

deVuur the flesh of IN alligator with

was very pale i'll color and probably
was much superior to the flesh of
snakes and rats and such like vermin
which form the ordinary food of the
predatory Sontal when hunting in
his native woods.
1t does not fall to his lot very often
to be able to cirCumVent and STAY and
eat large alligator. He more fire..

and they 90 to swell the contents of
his cooking pots. If, however. he is
so lucky as to meet u sahib who has
shot large alligator, say about six

unwonted delicacy without waiting

Mr.. REGINALD Wherefore, tho old
est son and biographcr of the bishop,
has just published n book entitled
AN UnrCcordcd Chapter of tho In
dian Mutiny," which contains the
following astounding story, which
am sure most readers will wish to
disbolieve:
Just before we got to Lahore, a
native infantry regiment, which had
been diSarmed, broke away. and a
young fellow, with somo 80 Sikhs,
was sent in pursuit. He caught up
with them some l25 miles away and
tried to bring them back, but they
would not come. He fired upon them,
killing good many of them, until
his men said they would not fire any
more, they had so few cartridges left
and were long way from any troops
in n disturbed country. The officer
was III q dilemma. He could not let
the Sepoys escape. His men were too
few in number to march them back
to Lahore, setting aside all tho diff.
culties of commissariat, etc. If the
sepoys got to close quarters, they
were numerous enough to overpowcr
his men. He, however, managed to
march them into a building, and
when night came on he stuffed up
all the airholes, so that in the morn.
