In the parlors the narrow rane of inougnt ana con vers u ion is even more noticeable than at tbe dabs. Here the ladies stt hQ tone? end. kind as they osxKiriy are. Bright and pretty as they often are, Uiereiaan- mlstakatly amenjj them an uncoa-acioaaaecs of all outside certain narrow limits that custom has prescribed for them. The freedom and fjayety which are not uncommon in the parlors of Americans of the best cias3 wiil be nan to find in the drawing-rooms of Enjjibb fashionables. They talk, professedly. Upon those common topics whici slioold fore the ordinary conversation they do very well, and, anion;? the brighter of tbem, a kind of wit and wisdom is permitted. Hut that is apt to be a la mode. The wit is badly watered.' I am not snrb, however, that fashionable ridom and watered wit are peculiar to- London. All society-wit is somewhat diseased. The wit of rlcl.nd idle men is poor. , It is cari-ooit&at they who hav nothing to do but to make jokes should make such very poor ones. There are a few reei pes afloat from which most of these ffrre things are evidently prepared. The fashionable joke is usually accompanied by the fashionable gesture, and an expression of inward illumination which the state of mind hardly justifies. Though as to artificial pantomime and vocal inflection, there is less of that anions the EnpMish 'respectable than among our own. It may seem ta contradict this, but really tloes not, when I say that our own fashionable manners are borrowed from the English, English people must speak in gome way, and their peculiarities, as a rule, are proper and natural. Our imitative and impressible society leaders, seeing something admirable In English aristocratical style, cony the aceenft and gestures, forgetting that they too would seem ad mirable to others were they to speak naturally. As a rule, women in English society are remarkably natural negatively natural, I mean. English girls are particularly simple and unassuming. They are innocent of all efforts to impress or astonish. As all womankind does and should do, they make themselves as pretty as they can; but r.s to personal superiorities, their educators do not lay enough stress upon such things to make them ambitious to excel in that way. All young ladies are taught a certain mode of deportment, "which isexcellentso far as it goes. The chief precept of the code, whether inculcated openly or by the silent feeling of society, is that each young lady must do as the rest. That "young Euglish girl." who is a theme of -the novelists and the magazine bards and artists, easily merit3 all the adulation she receives. Does not all the world know, is it not almost an impertinence to say, that for dignity, modest-, propriety, sense, and a certain soft self-possession, she fias hardly her equal anywhere? Hut he British maiden is taught that ambition in character is not a desira ble thing. The naturalness and pro priety which accompany this stato of mind aro not particularly aaimrauie. Atlantic. A PEJSPIUtATE ENCOUNTER. John Day, a California hunter, re cently fell in with a California lion, and fought him single-handed, under the most excitiug circumstances Tuesday of last week, Day's dogs brought something to bay high up on the mountain side. Supposing the game to be a lynx or a wildcat, he made his way to the spot, guided by the noise of the dogs. Before reaching the dogs, the mountain side became so steep tnat it was witn tne greatest dimcuity ne made the as cent. Finally he arrived near hc place, and found an almost level spot upon which to stand. Casting his eves upward, he beheld upon a cliff of rocks, ten or twelve feet above him, a large California lion, crouched and angry. Our hero lost no time, but levelled his rifle at the enimal's head. Growling with pain and rage. the infuriated beast sprang down full of fight and fury, and the hunter found himself prostrate beneath his savage antagonist, ins gun was knocked out of his hands; and went sliding down the slope. lie had a butcher's knife, but that was in his boot, and, unfortunately, he had a pair of overalls over all. There was, luckily, a hole in the overalls, through which he succeeded in getting his hand in and got his knife. He struck the brute in the head with his knife the first time, but the skin wa3 so tough and wrinkled that the knife failed to penetrate. The second time he stabbed the animal near the small of the back. Uttering a yell, the animal bounded away. Iav immediately gained his feet and found himself but slightly injur ed. The Hon, having gone down the hill some distance, stopped His rifle being between him and thvJion, Day went for the gun, and aftet getting it, so steep wa3 the ground, he could not keep his footing, but went slip ping and sliding until he was almost upon his oiu toe. iut tne uon nau no desire to renew the conflict, and when he saw the enemy descending upon him, he started for the mountains oa the opposite side, screaming worse than any female, bingie han ded, a man is no match for a full-grown Crlifornia lion, but Day was decidedly in lack, considering that !tis shot did not prove ratal, me lion, somehow, had lost one of his fore paws, perhaps. in a trap. This prevented it from using its fore feet, and likely discoarsgea it. Daj-'s ballet broke its under jaw. The only wounds Dav received were in the fhoulder, inflicted by the lion's up per teeth in its attempt to bite mm. True Courage. A most singular banquet has just taken place in Paris. a. M. uecroire invited several or his friends and a small company of .sci entific men to dine upon the flesh of horses that had died from the glan ders; of cows, the victims of the rinderpest, and of an ass. just killed by hydrophobia. It was & "test ban-quet one that proved the devotion of each man there to science, in that he was willing to risk his life to demonstrate, in the most practical manner, ;nai ine uesa oi animais is nctr effected as human food by even t bo worst ef diseases. The fire purifies it and purges away all infection. The director of the .Paris Z.xIogicd Gardens is said to corroborate this theory from perscuid experiments on the condemned meat sent to fee J the animals. So, "with this question finally settled by M. Peeroire and 1 his friends, and with the approach ing Diet Congress' the gay capital j will have an opportunity, at some futiiw riav. in rwt ctntne tn it! dietary becefactors. rMUlMIIiOtTiD HCaWIT-TEX MONTH? lXitPiKKIATE. On the IGthr of March the Prr foot of Police in Paris wa informed by a gentleman that in that part of the Bob do Boulogne where-the picturesque artificial grottoes aresftoafed, he perceived a strangely chut man. who, upon catching sight of him. had exhibited symptoms of the greatest terror, and hurriedly dbanpecml in the small "Grotto of the Empress." Inasma?h as for some time robberies had been committed very frequently, three well armed detectives were sent to the spot. Upon arriving at tb?r entrance of the grotto in question 0Q3 of the detectives' hallooed into the interior of the grotto, asking if anybody wa3 inside. There was no response, ami after waiting saveral minutes without heating a sound, two of the officers penetrated into it with revolvers in their hands. In the dim twilight they were unable to discern anything suspicious. They struch a light and carefuiJy exsrmmed the. back part of tha grotto. Their search was rewarded by the discovery in it of a hole that led intonfh-cr cave, which wa fitted up as a human habitation. There were various tin utcnaite on the wall, and in one corner was a patch of straw, npon which was lying a man, apparently about thirty or thirty-five years of age. ms dress consisted or rags, clumi!y sewed together. His beard was very long and shaggy, and his whole appearance was squalid in the extreme. He was awake, and had eyes fixed upon the officers with an expression of Intense terror. The ragged inmate of the cave was conveyed to the Police Prefecture lie said that his name was George Con, that he was a native of Tonrs, and was twenty-eight years of age. lie haa formerly been waiter at va rious hotels in France, but in 1SG9 he had accompanied Trof. Viteux on a botanical voyage to Texas and North em Mexico. The wild life he had to lead there with tho Profe&sor had proved decidedly attractive to him, and -he had resolved to remain for ever in America and lead the lifo of a hunter and trapper: bnt, during a fracas at San Velasco, in Chihuahua, a person had been mortally wounded, and, although he had been only an inoffensive witness of tho bloody affair, he had been charged with be ing the murderer, and it would have gone hard with him but for the rapidity with which he had fled across the Bio Grande. The apprehension of being arrested as a murderer had haunted him, however, day and night, and he had not felt safe, until. at uaiveston, he had taken passage in a rrencii vessel bound for Havre He had reached Paris in May, 1S72, with only a few francs In his pocket All attempts he had made to obtain employment had been unsuccessful. and one evening he had found him self sauntering through the alleys of tno ikis tie uouiogne absolutely pen niless. Thought? of suicide had nil ed his head ; but, upon passing the "Grotto of the Empress," it had occurred to him that he might sleep in it until morning. No one disturbed him, and when he awoke, upon look ing around, he discovered a small aperture in the back part of the wall Curiosity prompted him to find out whether or not the hole was that of some animal; but, upon pushing a sticK through it he an once discover ed that it led into an inner cave. He had carefully widened the aperture until able to crawl through it, and then found himself in a snug little cive, where he thought ho would find at least shelter from the rain and storm, lie resolved to remain there, and then crawled out again to sever al villas in the neighborhood, where he begged bread and cold meat enouzh to last him ror a lew days, in tnis manner he lived quietly for weeks, 8llying out from his grotto occasion ally when his provisions haa run short. He also built fires near the holo leading out of the cave and cooked some warm meals ; but. as a sreneral thing, the smoke was stifling. In the daytime he filled the entrance to his curious dwelling place with mass and old rubbish, so that no one visiting the interior of the grotto would bo likely to notice the hole. As time passed on ho become strangely attached to his cave But for some time past he had been a srreat sufferer from rheumatism, and on that morning he had crawled out in order to obtain some relief. The fact, however, that the gentleman had noticed him, and had evidently been startled at his appearance, had a. wa. .a a B . 1 so irigntenea mm mat ne crawieu back into the cave. Strange as this recital was, the Prefect, after making some inquiries about this mouera Bobinson Crusoe, kindly cared for him, and procured him a snug berth ia the Hotel Dieu. Statistics of Popclatiox. The Memorial Diplomaiimic gives this interesting account or the density of Dooulation in the creat centres of humanity throughout tho globe. There are nine cities having a popu lation exceeding one million souls, viz: London, 3,2-I.000; Sooehow, 2,000,000; Paris,- 1,::,000; Pekin, 1.61S.OS0; Yeddo, 1,5-3 1,000; Canton, 1.22G.001: Constantinople, 1,075,000; Siang-tan, in tbe province of Hunan, 1,000,000; and Tchan-tchan-ioo, in the province of Fokien, 1,000,000. It will be seen that, although London holds the first place, the Chinese empire can still boast of possessing more populous cities than all the civilized States of the West. The number of cities possessing a population ranging from above half a million up to a million is twelve, viz : New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hang-kaow, Philadelphia, St. Petersburg. .Bombay, Calcutta. Fowchow.f rchehing, Bangkok, and Kioto.

In the shadbw of the hood sat a tall, spare. ereci oia man ; severe and somewhat stately In a.pect ; with a touch of de cision in the trim of hS beard, the fashion or his sombre apparel, and me tarn oi fits broad-brtamied beav er. Neither in figure nor feature was there the faintest trarmUiiirp. vrt something in hid pose and method of nananng tne reins, reminded mo at once of a deceased dignitary, better Known in me now than in Convocation ; though austere dignity was as suredly not a leading characteristic of the Dean Ft. Bunyan's. In ac Enowieflgerfnr-'o my companion' cneery iiatuaiu eolcuiu cider vouch safed a short surly noil, but scarcely a side glance out of his hard, steady eye ; and yet the two had been inti mate for years, and not seldom had made venture in the same arsrosv. Temperate and frugalfor tobacco is his sole excess, and a trotting steed his sole extravagance; not a fond husband or father, but just In his hard way toward tho children ; scarcely a professing christian, yet rendering to tho church her dues, and not slow to contribute to public chanties; both phj-sically and mor ally absolutely fearless; prudent, patient, persevering and sagacious; scenting either danger or profit from afar with a keenness a tried tn Instinct such civic crown Vanderbilt may assuredly claim. Now, turn another page: A despot In couKil j a bully on the tavern stoop; everywhere, whether in jest or In earnest, a foul mouthed, blasphemous railer; grossly Illiterate and boorish, and boastful of both defects ; ever morose and saturnine, save when moved to laughter by some brutal jest; liberal In bribes, and sometimes ostentatious in benevoleace, but the veriest raiser of private alms ; a man who would sooner.any day, hire a sycophant than secure a .lricna ; aiwaya utterly re morseless, pitiless, and unrelenting; and, in his arrogant Intolerance of rivalry, often wantonly perfidious andcrccL In the early part of this century flourished, like a mighty boy tree, a certain marquis, one of the regent's chief worthies. Ho had practiced the seven sins so sedulously and extensively that small vices began to pall on his taste ; and, even in gambling, be craved for sorao adventitious excitement. "It Is poor sport piaymg wun rich roiss." ho was wont to aver; but I like winning of poor mcnuiry jeel a so." Truly, It would seem as if some of the peculiarities of this amiable noble had been reproduced In the Commodore. That a man of his reticence and reserve should keep his secrets safely locked up, is natural enough, but that he should not seldom mislead his fellows to their hurt, is somewhat unaccountable. He has, ere this, given a valuable clue to a bar-keeper,prlze fight er, or trotting jockey, when his own kin and familiars were groping help lessly in the dark. Indeed, it is af firmed that his son-in-law, after being trapped in divers commercial pit falls, only escaped ruin by at last going exactly counter to the Commodore's suggestions; and, ever since, he has stood much higher in the old man's favor, as one who, having paid his 'prentice fees, is entitled to the honor of an independent trader. Assuredly there are very many mansions in New York that would still remain closed against this Jloi Co-rote, were his wealth ami power trebled. Nevertheless, he is, beyond question, rather a popular favorite. When, awhile ago, not a month after the death of his first wife, the mother of all his children, and his faithful helpmate for forty years, he sold her favorite horse to tho highest bidder, people only laughed, saying, "It was the Commodore all over ;" and others of his social offenses have in like manner been glossed over and con doned. Well, it little becomes us. who have gathered up reverently the scattered aspirates of railway mon- archs, and been edified by fraudulent Gamaliels, to sit in judgment on our neighbors; but I thinkive have nev er yet bowed down before quite such an idol as this. What to do is Case of Acci- ren'T. Prof. i Ider, of Cornell Uni versity, says Moore's Jiural .JSetc lorker, gives the following short rules for action In cases of accident, which will be found useful to remem ber : For dust In the eyes, avoid rub bing; dash water in them; remove cinders, etc., with the round point of a lead pencil. Kemove matter from the ear with tppid water; never put a hard instrument into the ear. If an artery is cut, compress above the wound; if a vein is cut, compress below. If choked, get on all fours and cough. I-or slight burna, dip the part In cold water : if the skin is destroyed, cover with varnish. Smother a fire with "carpets. &.C.: water will often spread burning oil and increase the danger. Before walking through smoke take a long breath, and then stoop low ; but if carbonic acid gas is suspected, walk erect. Suck poisoned wounds unless your mouth is sore ; enlarge the wound, or better, cut out the part without de lay; bold the wounded part as long as can be bor.te to a hot coal or end of a cigar. In case of poisoning, excite vomit ith i ing oy iicjtnng me tnroai, or vrnrm wafer and mnsianl. For acid poisons, give allalis ; fori alkaline poisons, give arid 'white of egg is gooa in most cases ; in a case oi , opium poisoning, give strong coiiee and keep moving. If in water, float on the back, with the nose and month .projecting. For apoplexy, raise the head and bdy; for fainting; lay the person hat. - . ;-' It is stated on the express authority of a member of the Syndicate, that not only hs the first iostallment on-the fGO.OOO.OtiO of new bonds been -?1 bJ. ct"" bona fide" suliscrip- ,"T eeed that amount.
