We are all familiar with the appearance of its tawny, striped akin, ita fiermelooking bead and month and its long, muscular body. It is one of the most active and agile of beasts, and has enormous strength. Ibleaps twenty feet at it bound and can carry off a big ox to -its lair. When the tiger is hungry there is no dem- ?ger that it will not brave to get food. One has been known to carry off a soldier from ' the middle of a camp, nothing daunted by the preeence of a crowd of men. Many : years ago tigers were a perfect scourge to the people of some parts of India, and they are yet where the settlements are scattered. They carry off both people and cattle and • naturally the inhabitants devise all eras of ways to rid themselyee of such it dangerous ' foe. One of the queereet devices is to spread broad leaves emeared with gine in the tiger's way and when he steps on them of - course they stick to his paws. Hethen nibs %is paws on his head to get the leaves off and they stick to hie head and blind his esyee. He then lies down and rolls on the • ground howling with rage and when the hunter hears the noise he comes upl'and kills the beast. Like the lion, the tiger can be tamed nnti 'it is almost as harmless as a oat, for, you Ienow it is only its big cousin. A story is told • of a tiger that came on a sblip from India, ,randit was so geutle that the boys who were einployed on the veasel used to sleep with their heads reefing on its body for a pillow. The Roman Emperors used to have tame tigers that went about their palaces with as much freedom BA we allow to the most ordin- ary pets. They also used them to draw their chariots, just as they did the lions we have told you about.

The Kaiser in England. Exie the Shah, enter the Emperor. The lion of Persia has left the shores of England and betaken himself to France, whither the German emperor, at present on a visit to lii august grandmother, our most gracious and revered Queen, for obvious reasons is not likely to follow hhn. The Emperor William is accompanied by Count Herberb Bin- maroir, whose injudicious utterances at the time of Wilhelm's accession to the throne of Frederic, his father, fanned the feeling of irratibility that then pre - veiled in England. At the preeentmoment, however, the hatchet appears to have been buried and things seem lovely. The Count's alroy master has taken part in a femily dinner at Oaborne and has been treated to the grandest of all the spectacles Eng- land can offer— a naval review, in which 150 vessels of war took pare, including 30 of the moat formidable line of battle ships the civilized world can produce. The Emperor was made an honorary admiral of the fleet and in the full. fig of that exalted position surveyed the magnifieenb scene with complatiency, if not with satisfaction at the thought that some day all this massive array of etrength might be arrayed against hhi be loved ne.terland. But nothing untoward, beyond some unpleasant weather, ocourred to in the glories of the occasion and in the near future the Prince of 'Wales will return the Emperor's visit and make a brief sojourn at the court of Berlin, while her Majesty the Queen has been appointed chief of the first Dragoon guards of Germcmy. zooriz AND EVENT& 1.0.11111.

MONTREAL, Aug. 29.—An Indian from Canghnawaga named Jeeeph Sharonhati was sent for trial to the Court of Queen's Benoh for a fiendish assault on a girl eleven years of age, daughter of Constable Lefort of that village, In the preliminary investigation the young victim and her two oompanione, the Mimeo Lstoh, of Ottawa, who are on it visit at Lachine and Cauglina- wage, said under oath that the accused had lured them away from the vit. lage out of earsabot and view of any habitacion, and then dragged little Ida Lefort into it bush. Her compenions dared not follow at first, but the ohild'e cries finally induced them to enter the brush, whence the amused fled precipitately upon their approaoh. Oa hearing of the occur- rence Constable Lefort armed himself with two revolvers, determined, he says, to Runish the brute. He did not, however, hnd him at home. In the evening he met him on the street and took him into the presence of the girls, all of whem identified him as the man in question. Lefort raised his revolver to the prisoner's face, but be- fore he could fire his wife prevented him She Was a " Native Daughter.' from killing Sharonhati, The viotim is in a serious if not dangerous condition.

Two Brave Sailors. In the year 1872a French weal, the Mee lain% was lying at auohor at the mouth of the River /tdour, waiting for fair weather to mom the tar which eeparates the porb of BayonnefromtheBayofBiscay. Shewasimel- ed with 500 barrels ofpotroleurn, whiob, just as the oreW were turning in for the night, suddenly exploded. The ship was soon sur- rounded by a belt of floating tre. Tim nearest vessel at the time was it British brig. the Anna Bela Oluk, from Ardrosaon. Her master, Capt. Sharpe. knowing there were some French sailors in the midst of the &ram, shouted to QUa et hie crew, lohn afobtosh "Come on, my lad I Let um go to their rescue." Without a moment's hesitation these men biunchedthedingy, and inafew minutes were alongside the blazing vessel. In this short interval what remained of the standing gear of the Melaine had Immune one blazing maes of dame. Nothing daunted, the British sailors, with the certainty of incurring the greatest physical suffering, if not the lose of their lives, dashed through the floating cir- cle of fire and laid hold of the rigging of the burning ship. They succeeded in taking off two men in ouch it heiplem state from burns and bruises that they could not possibly have been saved had their rescue been delay- ed much lorger. In theperformance of this heroic act the Englishmen were more terri- bly burned than the men they rescued. It was first feared that Capt. Sharpe would lose the sight; of one eye and his face was permanently disfigured. Moil:twill fared still worse ; so severe were his injuries that his disoharws from the ship was absolutely necessary. He was conveyed to the Bayonne Hoepital, where he lay for nearly a month, at times in the greatest suffering. To show their appreciation of thia act of nerd= the British community raised a sum of -860 for the two heroes. About Women.

T., has smut a plaintive appeal to Boston for 10,000 women fa become wives of forlorn male residents of that city, and Wyoming Territory has sent a similar request to Sec- retary Busk at Washington. Why Boston women should be preferred in the one case does not appear, nor is it quite plain why in the other the Department of Agriculture should be expected to supply the Westerners with wives, as well as packages of seeds. It remairm to be seen whether the fait that women have political rights hi the territeries in question will be regarded by the women of the East asit special inducement. One of the most important reaolutions passed by the recent Labour Congress hi Pada wag OM to the effect that demonstra- tions in favour ot eight.hour legislation should be held simultaneously in America., England, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Switzerland, Germany, and Riblike. This is an indication that the workingmen realize the difficiulty of induc- ing any one country to shorten the houra of labour by such legislation so long as other countries refuse to do so. Induslaial aom- petition Is now so keen that no nation will voluntarily handicap itself by making its producing oapaoity lees than that of its rt. vale. The Rev, J. H. Camp, an agent of the American Baptist Missions in Central Africa who has just returned to the United States, reports that he followed Stanley's trail for several hundred mikes, tracking it by the corpses of the explorer's followers. Hesitates also that one of Tippoo Tib's Arabs, to whom Stanley had confided his plans, told that the latter intended to make the beet of his way with Emin Pasha to Zannibek, taking the oa-avan route between the Vial toria Nyanza and Tanganyika. lt is 'ins- pected, however, that this was merely a blind, as Stanley had reason to be suspicions of Tippoo Tib, and would be likely to throw him eff his track if he could: The Sb. Pani " Globe " does not mince matters in epeaking of the drawbacks of Da- kota. The State finds an urgent need of more water to give the needed activity to its soil, and large areas are entering from lack of sufficient rain. It is said that there are Water eouroes not far off whioh cen supply the drying-np territory with the moisture it requires, but this irrigation will cost money, and it is propoeed to ask the Government to aoMe to its aasistence.
