WITH A LIONESS. Suddenly I observed a number of vultures seated on 'the plain about a quarter of a mile' ahead of os, and close beside them flood huge lioness, consuming a blesblok which she bad kitted. She was assisted in bet repast by about a dozr-n jackals, which were feasting along with her in the most friendly and confidential manner. Direc ting nij followers attention to the spot, I rcmaked, "I see the lion ; to which they replied. "WharT whar t Yah ! Almagiig ! il is he and instantly reining in their steeds and wheeling about, tbey pressed their heels to their horses' sides, and were prepar ing to betake themselves to flight. I asked them what they were going to do. To which they answered, "We have not vet placed Caps on our riues. tins was irae ; uui while this short conversation was passing, the lioness bad observed us. Raising her full, round face, she overhauled us for a few seconds, and then set off at a smart canter toward a range of mountains some mile to the northward ; the whole troop of jackals also started off in another direction ; there was, therefore, no time to think of caps. The first more was to bring her to bay, and ot a second was to be lost. Spurring my good and lively steed, and shouting to my men to follow, I flew across the plain, and, being fortunately mounted on Colesberg, the flower of my stud, I gained upon her at every stride. This was to me a joyful mo ruent, and I at once made up my mind that the or I must die. The lioness having had a long start of me, we went over a considerable extent of ground before I came up with ber. Site was a large, full-grown beast, and the bare and level na ture of the plain added to her imposing ap pearance. Finding that I gained upon h?r, she rednced her pace from a ranter to a trot, carrying her tail stuck out behind her, and slewed a little to one side. 1 shouted loudly to her to halt, is I wished to speak with her, opon which she suddenly pulled up, and sat ! on her haunches Iike-a dog, with her back j . f toward me, not even deigning to look round She then appeared to gay to he-self, "Does thai lel'ow know who is he alter 7 Having thus sat for half a minute, as if involved in thought, she sprang la ber feet, and, facing about, stood looking at me for a few seconds, moving ber tail slowly from side to side, showing ber teeth, and growling fiercely. She next made a short run forward, making a loud, rambling noise like thunder. This be did to titiituitfale roe; but, finding that I did. not flinch an tiiCh, nor seem to heed her hostile -demonstrations, she quietly stretched oat. her massive arms, and lay down on the grass. My Hottentots now coming op, we all three dismounted, and, drawing our rifles from their bolsters,, we looked to see if the powder vas up in the nippier, and pot on our caps. White this was doing the lioness sat up, and showed ev ident symptoms f uneasiness. She looked first at us, and then behind her, as if to see if the coast were clear ; after which she made a short run toward us, uttering her deepdrawn murderous growls. Having se cured the three horses to one another by their reins, we led them"bn as if we intended to pass her, in the hope of obtaining a broad side. ' But this she carefully avoided to ex pose, presenting o'nly her full front. I had given Stofulus my Moore ride, with orders to shoot her ff she should spring upon rne, but on no accountjo fire before me. Klein boy, was to stand ready to band me 107 Pur dev rifle, in case the two-arooved Dixon should, not prove sufficient. My men as yet had been steady, but they were in a precious tew, th:ir faces having assumed a ghastly paleness, and I had a painful feeling that I could place no reliance on them. Now, then, for it, neck or nothing! She ii within sixty yards of Us, and she keeps ad vancing. We turned the horses tails to her. I knelt on one sidr, and, taking a steady aim at her breast let fly. The ball cracked loud ly on her tawny hideand crippled rut- in the houlder, upon which she charged with a'i appalling roar, and in the twinklinjr of an eye she was in the midst of us. At this mo. toentStofulua's rifle exploded in his hand, aad Kleinboy, whom I bad ordered to stand ready by me, danced about like a duck in a gale of wind. The lioness sorang upon Col esberg, and fearfully lacerated bia ribs and haunches, with ber horrid teeth and claws ; the worst wound was on his haunch, which exhibited a sickening, yawning gash, more than twelve iuches long, almost laying bare the very bone. I was very cool and aleady, and did not feel in the least degree nervous, having fortunately great confidence in my ewn shooting ; but I must confess, when the whohj affair was of er, I felt that it was very awful situation, attended with extreme peril, as I had no friend with me on whom I could rely. ;: A Whan the' lioness sprang on Colesberg,' I tood out from the horses, ready with my second barrel for the chance she should give me of a clear shot. This she quickly did ; for, seemingly satisfied with the r evenge she bad now taken, she quitted Colesberg, and, lewing her tail to one aide, trotted sulkily Pt within a few paces of me, taking one tep to the (eft. 1 pitched my rifle to my shoulder, and. in another second the lioness was stretched on the plain a lifeless corpse. Ia the straggles of death she half turned on her back, and stretched her neck and fore arms covolsively, when she fell back to her former position ; her mighty arms hungpow erlrsa by her side, her lower jaw fell, blood a reimed from her mouth, and she expired. At the moment I fired my second shot, Siofulus, ho hardly knew whether he was alive or dead, allowed the, three horses to escape. These galloped frantically across the plain, on which he and Kleinbov instantly started fter them, leaving me standing alone aud unarmed within a few Daces of the lioness. which they, from their anxiety to be out of wy, evidently considered quite capable f doing further mischief. Such is ever the case wrth these worthies, and with nearly all the natives of South Af. nca. IMo reliance j:an be placed on them. They will to a certainty forsake their master in the most dastardly manner in tbe,bourof peril, and leave hun in the lurch. A stran ger, however, hearing' these fellows recoun ting their own gallanTadventures, when sit ting in the evening along with comrades round a blazing fire, or under the influence of their adored "Cape smoke" or native bran dy, might fancy them to bo the bravest of the brave. Having skinned the lioness and cut off her head, we placed her trophies up on Beauty and held for camp. Before we had proceeded a hundred yards from the car cass, upwards of sixty vulture?, whom the lioness had often fed, were" feasting on her remains. A GIRAFFE CHASE. This day was to mc rather a memorable one, as the first on which I saw and slew the lofty graceful-loking giraffe or cameteopard, with which, during many years of my life, I had longed to form an acquaintance. These gigantic and exquisitely beautiful animals, which are admirably formed by nature to a dorn the fair forests that clothe the boundless plains of the interior, are widely distributed tlrroughoiil the interior of Southern Africa, but are now here to be met with in great numbers. In countries unmolested by the intrusive foot of man, the giraffe is found generally in herds varying from twelve to sixteen ; but I have not unfrequenlly met with herds containing thirty individuals, and on one occasion 1 counted forty together ; this, however, was owing to chance, nnd a bout sixteen may be reckoned as the aver age number of a herd. These herds are compobed of giraffes of various sizes, from the young giraffe of nine or ten feet inheiglit, to the dark, chesnut-colored old bull of the herd, whose exalted head towers above his companions, generally attaining to a height of upward of fightetyi feet. The females are of lower stature, and more delicately formed than the males, their height averaging from sixteen to seventeen feet. Some writers have discovered ugliness and a want of grace in the giraffe, but 1 consider that be is one of the most strikingly beautiful animal? in the creation ; and when a herd ol tlirm seen scattered tnrough a grove ot the pic;! turesnue narasol-tonucd ac- c as which adorn i I r their native plains, and on wb .se ujprnnosi j shoots they are enahled to browse by ihe co. ! lossal height with which nature has so ad. rnirably endowed them, he must, indeed, be slow of conception who fails to discover both grace and dignity in all their movement. There can be no doubt that every animal is seen to the greatest advantage in the haunts which nature destined him to adorn : and among the various living creatures which beautify this fair creation, I have often tra ced a remarkable resemblance between the animal and the gei.eral appearance of the lo cality in which it is found. Th's I first re marked at an early period of my life, when entomology occupied a part of my attention , r it .i ! A. r napanii f nl 1111 inrr f tua i n I rt i si at mil an it I f. ? .-"s r- j can tail to observe the extraordinary likeness , which insects oear to tne various auooes in which they are met with. Thu., among the long green grass we find a vaiiety of long green insects, whose legs and antennae so resemble the shoots emanating from the stalks of the grass, tint it requires a practi ced eye to distinguish them. Throughout sandy districts varieties of insects are met with of a color similar in the aand which they inhabit. Among the green leaves of the various trees of the forest innumerable leaf-colored insects are to be found ; while, closely adhering lo the rou"h gray bark of these forest-trees, we observe beautifully-co! , i. .i r ored, gray-look.ng moths o( various pattern, yet altogether SO r. semhltng the biirk as to be invisible lo the passing observer. In like manner, among quat'rupcils I have traced a corresponding analogy, for, even in Ihe case of the Stupendous elephant, the ashy color of his hide so corresponds with the general anrwaranr nf I hf ura v thorny unp-les wh ch "i r- -t-- , ' he frequents throughout the day, that a per- son unaccustomed to hunting elcphai Is, stan. j ding on a commanding situation, might look down upon a herd and fail to detect their presence. And further, in the case of the giraffe, which is invariably met witb among venerable forests, where innumerable blasted and weather-beaten trunks and stems occur, I have repeatedly been in doubt as to the presence of a troop of them until! had re course to my spy-glass ; and on referring the case to my sivage attendants, I have known even their optics lo fail, at ono time mista king these dilapidated trunks for cameleo pards, and again confounding reacameleo pards with these aged veterans of the forest. Althoogh we hid now been travelling many days through the country of the giraffe, and had marched through forests in which their spoor was abundant, our eye had not yet been gified with a eight of Tooili himself; it was therefore witb indescribable pleasure that, on the evening of the 11th, I beheld a troop of these interesting animals. Our breakfast being finished, I resumed my journey through an endless grey forest of cameel dorn and other trees, the country slightly undulat ing, and grass abundant. A little before the sun vent down, mv driver remarked tome, 'Iwae jut going to aay. air, that that old tree was a cam-eleopard- On looking where he pointed, I aaw that the old tree was indeed a cameleopard, and, on casting my eyes a little to the right, 1 beheld a troop of them standing looking at us, their heads actually towering above the trees uf the forest. It was imprudent to commence a chase at such a late hour, especially in a country of so level a character, where the chances were againai my being able to retaiu my wagons tht,night. I how ever, resolved to chance everything: and direct ing my wen to catch and saddle Colesbitrf, I proceeded in haste to buckle on my ahooting-belt and spurs, and in two minutes I was in the saddle. The giraffes stood looking a! the wagons until I was within sixtv yards of them, when, gal loping round a thick bushy tree, under cover of which 1 had ridden, I suddenly beheld a sight the most astound iog that a sportsman' eye can encounter. Before me stood a troop of ten colossal giraffes the majority of which were from seventeen to eighteen feet high. On beholding me, tbey at ouce made off, twisting their tails oyer their backs making a loud twitching noise with them, . and cantered aloog at an easy pace, which however, obliged Colesburg to put bis best foot' foremost to keep p "With them. ; 4 .The MOsatioaa which 1 felt oa' this occasion were di&reat from anything which 1 had before experienced during a long sporting career. My 1 sense were" so sbtorbed by the wondrous and beantiful sight before-me that I rodo along like one entranced, and felt inclined to disbelieve that I wasltonting living things of this world. The groand was Brni and fivorabls for riding At ev ery stride I gained upoa the giaraffes, and after a short burst at a swinging gallop, I was in the middle of them, and turned the finest cow of the herd. On finding f.erself driven from her com Cades, and hotly pursued, she increased her pace, and cantered along with treu.endou stridea.clear. iC an amazing extent of ground at every bound ; white her neck and breast, coining in contact with the dead old branches of the trees, were continually atrewing ihein in my path. In a few minutes I was riding within five yards of her stern and, firing at the gallop. I rent a bullet into her back. Increasing my pace, I next rode along side, and placing the muzzle of my rifle within a few feet of tier, 1 fired my second shot behind the shoulder ; the ball, however, seemed to have lit tle eflect.1 then placed myself directTy in front when ehecan0 to a walk. ' Discounting, I has tily loadedofbarrels, putting in double charg es of powdelvefore this was accomplished she was off at a eTirfer. In a short time I brought her to a atand.'iiuthe dry bed of a water course, where I fired lrifteen yarde, aiming where I thought tne heStllay, npon which she again made off. Having Igdf d I followed, and had very nearly lost "her; be Jiad turned abruptly to the left, and was far put of sight among Jhe treer. Once more I brotMri her to a stand, and dismoun ted from my horef riiere we stood together a lone in ihe wild wobd. gazed in wonder at her extreme beauty, wmTgher soft dark eye, with its silky fringe, look down imploringly at me, and I really fell a pang of sorrow in this moment ol triumph for ihe blood I was shedding. Pointing ny ride towards the skies, I tent a bullet through her neck. On receiving ii, she retired high on her hind legs, and fell b-ick wards with a heavy crat.li, shaking the earth around her. A thick stream of dark b'o d ppouted out from the wcyjni), her colorF limbs quivered for a niuinen', and she expired. ENCOURAGE HOME MANUFACTURE.
