In answer to a question , as to his I manner of taming lions, he replied at length raying that "it was a gift ot nature" with' him. 1 have no fea? of them. People tell me every tiro I get a wound tbat it ought to be a war ning to roe, and should make me fcar to go in the cage again. : But it dues not. When J am away from the lious I get homesick, and when I can po wherektney are, and my wounds prr vent me from going ' . 1 r into the cage, I get more homesick! still. I never! met any- lions I could no tame. Thret-. years ago I tamed five in New York, which, while in Europe had killed one man and badly mangled another1, who attempted' to tame them. In three weeks alter ther were put in my charge, they wert as tame as I w ished, though before they were con-, sidered untamable. I very aeldoai use force in taming tbem, but aMwe(rciea jt becomes necessary kindness i my usual plan ; I am always carefal to keep my eye upon theiu., Everv one who has seen 'the. lion taraer', leaving tbe cage after his feat of laying down aniou the lions, put. ting his feet on their heads, ft t ding. them, and faring off pistols, has dowbt Itss noticed how careful he as step ping out backwards very, deliberately', aud watching closely the beasts which always advanced upon him. lit speak ing of , this, he said : 44 If I did not keep my eye upon them they would jump at me. They have sense enough to know that I am retreating from them; and they gain courage; Ihere is more danger to me at this time than at any other. M If the lims were at liberty, I would fear to go near them. Some people j think that a ! lion .born in America is more docile, partaking less of the savage nature: of the brute, than one bom in Africa or Asia. Not o. I would rather have to tame a Ltterj j Wrn in either of the last two mentioned places than a litter Lorn in th s country the latter ate more. dan gerous aud less easily tamed. j HIS WOUNDS. ! t Mr. Lengel has beeu bitten a num ber of limes by 1'ons, li j'iicssesiwfc u lvt jbaid. aw tk lrt never done so; the iiouessis, safd he, are more ' treacherous and deceitful than the lions. He has been scratch ed an almost innumerable number of times. He has never had to lay up but twice from his wounds The de Mrription of the wounds, and this places Avuere ne receivea mem, are Uieution ed below, . j The rirst wound was a oite in the left lrg, in Western Pennsylvania whilej with Barnum's Circus. The hefrond was received whl'e w'th S. B Howe &, Co., in Augus a, Gj., being severe y bitteu in the lelt hand. This Wound caused hirn to lose the use of his middle finger. The third was inflicted at Little Rock, Ark., by a lioness in Howe &u Caste Ilo's Circus. This time two fin gers of the, right hand were! mangled He has full use of them now. I he fourth was received while in Madison, Indiana last summer. 'I he lioness seized him; by the jright leg, driving her teeth into the calf oi his leg until they nearly met. The fifth was received last April in new Orleans, i The animal se'ied him by the left leg, iuserting one toth of the lower jaw an inch and a hal f into the calf, and a jtouth of .tbe up r jaw I he same depth into the upper side of the knee joint. Mr. Lt-ngel was confined to his bed a. while1 but vhen the circus moved he came along, and gave two exhibitions, one in Au gusta .rnd one in Savan..ah, the latter of which he says is a paradise for a circus. On coining here he made ar rangements to pifrfoim last Wednes day, but his leg painin j him, he con sulted Dr. F. M. Robrtsoii,, who or dered him to b$J at once, lellingiiim that the bone' of the leg .was injured. A mm"-ia ohrjariTnd ilz.j 11 still remains in Ded. tie is aDie, now ever, to travel about the room occa sionally. ' . . j - " j; . It i somewhat of a coincidence tliat ...r . ....... . Dr. Robertson has attended hjs patient on two otner occasions at the Pavilion Hotel for wouuds received from lion esses all of the wounds being upon the left side of the body. Herr Lt nsel does not think he was t Kitten Kii rti 1 ii.lui.linnillv ' fit. i says t lie lionesses when together never meet, but they snarl and snap at each other tweofj them never live peace fully in- the same cage and states that it is his opinion that with tlt ex ception mentioned, when 'he aggrai.- ted one l)ir y onci ur&nctf lie ,v as hi tue way , and was bitten lor one ot t e lionesses. He has the teeth and claws 4 of the lioness which he thinks bit him purposely. The teeth are an inch and a half long, with a root about two and a half: inches in length. If the teeth were driven in flesh up to the gums, a laige sized- peach stone could be planted in the hole.. The claws, which the animal, like the cat, keeps unexposed till wanted, are lormidabie i looking objects. We do not now doubt, as we once did the assertion of travellers, that one blow from a lion's paw would kill a man or tear out great masses of flesh. Herr Lengel says he fears th.ir claws more than their teeth that they gewcialiy strike before they jrlte. ; . flerr Lengell will have to remain here about ten days longer, after whii h it irprobable he will pe cble to rtjoiu his company.
