HIS EXPERIENCE WITH LIONS.
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

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.

that it is his opinion that with tlt ex

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. ; .

THE COTTON i CROP WHO
: , , ' MAKES IT. ; .
The cotton crop, grown over so
widely extended an area of country,
and passing in its process irom seed to
shipment through so many hands, has
yet been reduced to figures so exact
thatfsnr articles of cmerce can be
statistically eonsidered with equal pre-
cuion. The:i immense! advantage5 of
the tabular statement in respect to
cotton lies, of course, in its enabling
us to make conjectural estimates of the
future growth of the plakt likely to
fall not far short of the truth. In this
connection the following faks from the

votion of their lands to cotton, under
the stimulus of our war, in famiue,

human beings. In Smyrna, and other
portions of the Levant, where in .1864
the fig crop was sacrificed tov the
growth of cotton, the culture has been
a most entirely abandoned.
