A oonrt martial recently condemned the chief lorgeon of a Bhenbh infantry regiment to nine years in the penitentiary for illegal- ly letting off young men from military aer- â-¼ice.

Four thousand pounda' aterling haa been refused, but it i a intimated that a compromise between that Bum and the price asked for the cutter, £6,- 000, may be effected. Thia should mean that five thonaand will do it. It fa doubtful if a legislative body in any country ever passed a law that was so cam- pletely and universally ignored as the anti- treating act of tha last Legislature of Ne- vada. Everybody claims the right to treat a friend, and the claum is so reisonable that even the officers do not dispute it. It required three men with a large wagon to move in lively fashion during the whole of a day lately to gather up and rett^rn to Hillsdale College, Mich., the 600 chairs and benches that had been diatributed amorg the bama and fielda in the neighboring country on the proceeding night by the atudenta.

To Mr. Willfa, the well-known Brituh student and operator in photography, h due the success achieved io the art of photo- chemical printing in metallio platinum in its metallic atate aa apigmet, but in obtain- ing permanent andpraoticl results by a method in which the particles of pigments forming the pictures are imbedded in and entangled among the fibre of the paper on which they are printed, not depending for taeir adhesion on the use of any sizing ma- terial. Paper u coated with a mixture of aqueous solutions of ferric oxalate and pot- assio chloro-platiaate, then dried, and ex- posed to light under a negative. After it has had a sufficient exposure it fa floated en a hot aqueous soluticu containing potassic oxalate and a salt of platinum. This solu- tion instantly drvelopes th^ picture, which fa then washed in one or two solutions, to remove the chemical salts adhering to the paper. Eillins: a Man-Eater. Only two creatures aie distinctly known as "man-eaters," namely, the shark and the tiger, f honaanda of human beinga are devoured annually in India by tigers, so that nothing can strike greater consterna- tion into the hearts of the poor defenceless villagers of that great country than the cry of " tiger " Any one who kiUs one of these beasts fa regarded as a public benefactor and perhaps among the reasons why the Brit- fah have gained sucha foot- hold in the conn- try, is that Engifahmen are so passionately fend of hunting, scorea and hundred a of tigers, not to mention other wild animals, falling victims to their prowess every year. An officer in the British army of India gives the following description of hfa first experi- ence with a ms.-^' eater I waited for daylignt with much anxiety, and directly there was sufficient light, I got my people up and started for the plaoe where we had tied a ca'.f. Scarcely two hundred yards had been paaaed when we h«tfd the Ugw. which intatad tkat part of the forasfe, roar loudly.

Ke^ *^"" u Pladng la froatmy headlhaater, Mangkaleo, who iL a very good sight, whfle, to tte dark, my owa fa rttry bad^ we hurried aloag tha path. Oomiag to soms rooks from which I knew tiiat tiM tied-up calf could be seea, aad thiaking that the shikaree might aot have remembered the spot, I puUed him l»ok cautiously. Hooked; There was the white calf, apparently dead. Mangkalee remark- ed as much in a whisper. The younger abikaree, Nursoo, was behind me oa the left. We aU gazed at* tall. Thedfataaoe was some sixty yards froni us, but we could aot make out the tiger. At length the end of the taU moved. Nursoo, mskiag a similar motioa with lifa fore finger, whfapered in my ear, " Doom- hilta-hai" (The tail's moving). I now made out the body of the aaimal olear enough. Not a blade of grass nor a leaf was between us. A siagle forest tree, without a bnuudi on It for thirty feet from the ground, was twenty yards aearer the tiger. It was very probable Uiat he would see us, but It must be risked so pressing down my shikaree, Mangkalee, with my hand be- hiad me, aad keeping the trunk of the tree between the foe and me, while I said with in myself, " If I get behind that tree with- out your seeing me, you're a dead tiger," I passed rapidly forward. So intent was the huge beast upcn the poor calf, that it did not hear me. I placed the barrels of my rifle against the tree, but waa obliged to wait. The tiger and the calf lay contiguous, tails on end to us. The calf's neck was in the tiger's mouth, whose large paws embrac- ed hfa victim. I looked, waiting for some change in the position of the body, to allow me to aim at a vital part There were some forty paces between us. At length the calf gave a struggle, and kicked the tiger, on wliich the latter clasp- ed -him nearer, arching hfa own body, and exposing the white of hfa belly and chest. I pulled the trigger very slowly, aiming at the white and firing for Ids heart,â€" he was on hfa left side,â€" as if I waa firing at an egg for a thouauid pounds. I luew that I hit the spot aimed at, but, to my astonfahment, the tiger sprang up several feet in the air with a roar, rolled over, and towards me, â€" for he was on high- er ground than I was, â€" when, bounding to hfa feet as if unscathed, he made for the mountains, the last rock of which waa with- in forty yards of him Immedfately the tiger sprang to his feet and expoaed hfa broad side to me, I stepped from behind the tree and ahot^him through the heart. He went straight and at nndi- minfahed speed, each bound covering fifteen feet at least, for twenty-five yards, and then fell on his head tinder the lowest rock of the mountain, in which was hfa stronghold. Hfa extreme leng h, as he lay dead, wks ten feet eight inches his tail was only three feet three. Hfa head waa very large. The points of all his large fangs were consider- ably broken this had saved the calf, who, though much scratched and with sundry holes in his neck, was alive, and is now well and happy with my milch cattle at Naypore.

BT A. Ci Wrt TOH. littie b known of th» oooe VowM tribe of red Indian^ the abortginea of New- foundland, that at one ttoe aported along the aea-ootst, and in the Intenor of fte oonntry.pltohing their wigwama along the Ba«y^or itabUutifnl lakM and ifvew, whioh teem with fiah of the finest deKsrip- tion. and giving ohaee to the noble earribon or reindeer that in vaat nnmbera traveraed the oonntiy fnnn nwth to aonth, diaplaying their skill in the handling of the bow and arrow whioh they oan nse wi^nwt de^- ity. and shooting the rapda with their Uglit swift oanoas, made from skins or the bark of biroh trees neatly sewn together. One oan^eaaily imagine that Newfonndland, with iu wild animals. Its nnmeroos lakes and rivera teeming wtth fish, its marshes swarm- ing with poarmigans, onrlew, plover and aidpe, whilst on the plains or barrens may be met conntlea herds of reindeer; what a paradise this most have been to these wild and savage abori^es, where :â€" "Untamed, notanght, in anna or arts naaUUed Their patrimooal aoil they mdely tlBad, Chaaed the f f ea tovaia of tha asvaga wood, Enanaied the wild bird, awept thaeoaly flood Or whin the haloyon aported in the bre- aa. In light oanoea they akumned the rippUng aaa, The pawing momenti'all their blin or oare Snoh aa their slrca had beanâ€" the diUdftn were." Here they sported along its shores, and vith the returning winter, songht refnge in the interior, where amidst its beantifnl foresta game, in abnndance oonid atill be found. Here in perfect seoority, their hunting groimds,imbitmded upon, they erect- ed their wiKwams far from the reach of civ- ilization. Here in perfect happiness and savage luxury they reigned undissurbed. When, theiefore, John Cabot disobvered Newfoundland in 1497, and came in contact with the aborigines of theialand, who were clothed with skina and painted with red ochre, they naturally beheld his approach with terror and aatoniahment, thinking that the ship he bad traveraed the ocean with, was an enormous bird or animal. Aa no re- atatance waa made, and as they aeemed in- clined to come to friendly terms, Cabot, with his crew, landed, and at once a friendly in- tercourae took place amongat them. It is evident that they most have become warm and close fiienda, for on Cabot taking leave of the New-found-land, three Indians ccom- pacied him on hia return voyage. Bnt, un- fortunately, the die -;o very of the island prov- ed fatal to them. From the first friendly feelinga had always exiated between the la- diana and their white, invaders this friend- ahip, iicwever, could not last long. The In- diana, reared in their savage state, knew not the difference between right and wrong. Children of the foreat though they were, loving the wild nature and freedom which were always theirs, bounding through the thick foresta seeking the wild birds, and chasing the reindeer over barrens, on their swift and poweriul ateeda. To cure them of their wild and s vsge state waa impoa- aible. When the island, therefore, became more thickly populated, the Indiana became more and more reserved towards the whites. They now saspected that their territory would be taken from them aiid become the propel ty of their invaders. Already the axe of the woodman and settler could be heard resounding through the forest. The aea- coaai; began to awarm with men, busy and eager to gather the fortune that awaited them. Here, on the waters, could be leen bca s of all nations gathering in the harvesta that wore of more value than the rich minea of Chili and Peru or the diamond fielda of Africa and over the barrena could be heard the aoimd of the rifle, as the hunter or trap- per emerged from the outskirts of the for- est, and bounded over the plains, acattering the^ rabbita or hares from tiieir oovera, in their wild and mad career. No wonder, that envioua and jealoua feelings gathered within the breasts of the Indians, as they saw their beantifnl forests give wa? before the march of civilization, the wild animals robbed of their beantifnl furs and thesea of its riches. Instead of friendly intercourse with the whites, a feeling of revenge and hatred came over them. miese savage chUdren of the forest began at first to show a tendency to appropriate the white man's goods and wares whenever the opportunity ocoorred; this led to disputes and finally bloodahed. The hunters and trappers felt that the Indians were a source of annoyance, and they were looked upon as only fit to be destroyed. The peace and harmony which the Indians had preyionaly erjoyed were now about to be ended forever. Their hunting grounds wereinvadedby a tribe of Miomara from Cape Breton and Nova Scotia, who, havine learnt the nee of fire-arms, carried on a war of externunation against them, which con- tmued for a number of years. The Govern- ment naade strenuous efforts to briuff about a macef nl settlement, but of no avail The unfeeling, barbarouB hunters and trappers, assisted by the savage brutality of the Mic! macs, had niaed the savage nature of the ^^ JL*° *•" '"**^ ' proohdmed between the two races. Everywhere the Bathnks were hunted like wolvis. Their bSs^d arrows could avail them nothing against the fire-arms of their invaders. "»~«« «»• InordertobrtBg about a reoonoOiation.
