Th* inhabitant* of Seoul, in Korea, do not need to stir from their door-steps if indeed thsy have any in anarch W game. Tijers and leopard* vUit the town every ni ht for food, and wo* to the unarmed native who croeoe* their path: Mr. Henry Savage- Landor, in a recent work on Korea, furnishes an amusing account of now some hunters sought their gam* in a big drain of masonry leading to a disused palace. A ferocious- look ing leopard waa seen one day taking an airing in ths grounds oa thi* old palace. Perpieied aad terrified, the nnarmed native* ran for their lives, all eioept on* who, from a distant point of vantage, watched ibe animal and saw him eater the drain. There happened to be staying in Seoul an Knglishn.au, a Mr. S., who poas- essed a rifle, and wa* had of Ion a*U>ai*hed th* naiivei by hi* *kill ia hiUmK th* ball's eye. Te him they wsnt in a body, beggmg him te do away with th* unwelcome vial- tor. Mr. S,, who wishsd for nothing better, went that same night, accompanied by hi* faithful native servant., sad hid near the hole whence the leopard wa* lik*ly to pring. It waa a lovely Moonlight o:ght, and **v*ral hour* pa*s*d la per:'v -t silence. At length a bright idea sir .a th* **r- vanu Ceileia that the leopard wa* no longer ther*, aad wishing to retire to hi* warm room, he proposed that h* ahould pok* ia tbe drain with a long bamboo and robe* the beast into coming oat, when the matter could .hoot him. M V*ry good,'* said ths Kagliehraan, who waa getting rather ured ef the diaoomfort and oold, and who, though be dad not say to, share.! the native's opinion that the boast had gone. I has *nooaragd, th* servant proceeded with firm stop to th* drain, about thirty yard* oC When h* reached the opening he seemed to hesitat*. H* stood and listened. Be carefully peeped la, aad listened again. H* heard nothing. Then, bringing all hi* courage to boar, h* lifted hi* bamboo and began poking IB the dram. Two er three times, as h* thought, be had touched something *oft. He dropped hi* bamboo a* if it bad been a hot iron and fled to hi* matter'* *id*, whsrs b* lay shivering wilh fright. II You ar* fnght*nd, you coward ; ther* to) nothing. Go a^aiL." After a few minute* th* faithful valet. who had then mad* quit* sure there wa* no leopard in the drain and that he had shown himself a coward, slowly returned to lh* charge and picked up hi* bamboo. " I am trembling with cold, not with fear " h* said, a* h* waa getting up again. I shall enter the drain thi* time and roas* th* animal, if h* U there." 80 h* really did. H* went in, holding the bamboo in front of him, and pausing at each *tep. The farther in he went th* more hi* slf -confidence failed him. The drain wa* high enough to allow of hi* landing IB it with his back and head bent down ; wherefore, if an encounter with the polled fiend were to take plao*, th* retreat of the man would not be aa eaey matUr.

Bang '" went the rifle oateid* jo*t a* th* screams of "Mas'sr, aahi, ahaal, kill, kill '." were echoing in the drain ; and th* leopard with a brokca bind leg rolled ov*r on th* ground, groaning fiercely. The poor Korean lay perplexed, looking at the scene, all lighted up by the beautiful moonlight ; and his heart bounded wilh joy when, after the second or third report, he law shot dead the animsl that had already crawled back to ths mouth of th* drain. A* hto mt*t*r approached, rifl* in hand, and touched the dead boast, tbe native'* valiant qualilie* returned to him in full, and h* got up out uf the drain.
