When 1 year of age he knew all of the leading events in the world's history and was as familiar with Pentateuch as most �oder'n professors are supposed to be with their first text books. Al 14 months he could give a complete history of every book in both the Old and New Testaments ; and at o years 6 mouths lie could answer any question in geography or history, ancient or modern. Al that age he was able to hold conversation with tuelearned European savants in either German, French, Latin or Dutch, He (lid not live to see the end of Lis fourth ye814, but during the few short' Fit allotted to him little Henry was a I sag baby, boy, youth, man,and graybeard, that jui is, as far as the knowledge world, affairs fi y airs the were concerned.

Several hlmdrect heads of cattle were drivel into large open space amid the loud cracking of whips, the bellowing of bulls, calves and kind, and asuperfluity of musing and swearing. Now came the exciting and dangerous part, the " cutting out?" or the separation of the calves from the herd, sub. 8eg1elt "belching" in enclosure where the branding and mutilating performance is done. 51as11, slash comes the long stook whip across the backs of the omen, leaving with every lash adeep red out. livery elan makes as much noise as he man, The beasts become maddened and rush this way and that, doubling here and there, Pnt the well trained horse knows every eras, trick and turns as quickly as the horned beasts.

The horse waits gniotly until the beast is within a couple of yards of him, and then he rapidly whirls around and the bull forges pa8t with the whole weight of the stock whip planted zigzag on his book, hotly pursued by the equestrian who hasjust escaped being gored death.

I was scarcely con• fortebly seated when a surprising scene took place, at least 8tarpriaine t0 me, but expected by the onlookers.

When she had gone 1hr this performance for about ten minute 0011411 quieted down, but as soon as I near, the same old game began again. By this time the spoliators could lath no more, and ono of them caught the vic- ious brute.

We were accompanied by four kan- garoo dogs and two greyhounds, We had been riding along slowly and merrily for about an hoer, when Mr, Douglas caught sight of a number of large kangaroos feed. keg and hopping about in the distance. At the sane instant they were sighted by the dogs, who ran madly at them, barking loud- ly.
