AN INTERESTING STORY OF A PACK OF CARDS. Richard Midrlleton a soldier attending divine service with the rest of his regi metit, instead of taking a I3ible to find the Clergyman's Text, took out a deck of cards, and spread them before him. This strange behavior did not long pass un- noticed both by the Clergyman and Scr- af ' . soldicr, "I have been along time without a Bible, prayer-book, or any other good book." So theu he pulled out his cards, and on presenting an ace to the Major, said, "When I see an ace, your honor, I am reminded tint there is but ene God, whon I see 2 and 3 they put me in roiud of Father, on, and Holy Ghost.

Ret oi vers and ri fles were accordingly procured, and wbilal some fired blank cartridges full in tlie faces of the infuriated baeis, others pro bed them w i(h heated iron, stabbed tliem with fork, and beat them with a ladder and iron scrapers. Eventually a slide was introduced between the bars of the cage, behind which Mr. Ittrchail, the ngcut, and John Ryan, one of the keeper, drove four of the 1 ions. At the fifth lion more shots wipre fired, but it was not un til the heated bjrs' were applied to the nose of the animal that it relinrjuith'-d its hold and :ran 'behind the partition. Maccarte then staggered to his f-ct, but ere he could ! reach the dour and before the slide could be closed, the African lion again rushed out, ec izt d the poor fellow again by the foot, and dragged him back into the corner among the other animals. a .t s a a a Again tlie trightlul atruggie went on.

Maccarte was then released, still conscious. Ashe was borne to the infirmary, he exclaimed to a fellow workman- "llarry, I am done for." In addition to the back part of the scalp, all the flesh had been torn from the thighs, the right arm was fractured iu two places, as wtll as badly lacerated frrm the shoulder to the hand ; the chest had been lacerated, and the bones of the pelvis had pieces bitten out of them.
