' - 'r ' ' : ' WHOLE NUMBER 128 sVfeAY'. . -A , ui rwuw.- 'y .1)1 ill MISCELLANY. A TIGER COMBAT. "There was aamous jiger amonster of a liger named Kagra, who had trium phed at Lucknow on several occasions. He was certainly one of the largest I have ever seen, and beautifully streaked with his glossy coat, as it moved freely over its muscular limbs and long back. The con noisseurs in sport had despaired of finding a fitting adversary for Kagra, when news arrived that a tiger of enormous size and strength bad been taken, uninjured, in the Terai the long strip of jungle land be- ""tween Oude and Nepaul, just at the foot of the Himalayas. It -was anticipated that , there would be glorious sport when this new monster was brought face to face with , the redoubted Kagra. V "The cages of Tagra and Terai-wallah (the name given to the new monster) were brougut to .opposite sides of the court yard, both commanded by our positions in the gallery. We could seethe long, shining backs of the tigers as they roamed round - their cages irr great excitement ; occasion ally there was a snarl and a display of teeth alarming to witness, as some attend - l ant approached the cages. It was intend ed that the animals should become aware of each other, and hence the previous de lay ; for, ferocious as the tiger is, he is a ' t a cowardly animal, and,' if ; brought unex . pectedly into the- presence of danger, may - cower and retreat from the contest. "The signal; was given the bamboo -r: railing in front of the cages rose simultan--. eously on either side the doors of the V cages opened. ' ;Terai-wallah sprang, with a single bound, out of his cage, opening fthis huge jaws widely, and shaking from side to side his long tail in an excited wny. V'. Kagra advanced more leisurely into the arena, but with similar demonstrations. , They, might have been fifty feet apart, as they stood surveying each other, open mouthed, the tail playing all the time. At - length Kagra advanced a few paces; his adversary laid himself down forthwith up on jhe court-yard, just where he stood, fa-cing-him, but with his feet well under him, extended, evidently quite prepared for a spring. ' Kagra. watched Ms foe intently, and still advanced slowly and . cautiously, but not in a straight line, rather toward the 6ide,describingf an arc of a circle as he drew near. , ' ; "The Terai-wallah soon rose to his feet and likewise advanced, describing a simi lar arc on the opposite side, both gradual ly approaching each other, however. It was a moment of breathless suspense in the gallery, Every eye was fixed on the two combatants as they thus tried to cir cumvent each other ; it was enough to ar rest attention, for the tigers were unusual ly large; both-were in beautiful condition, " plump and mascular; the color of the Te- - rai-wallah was somewhat lighter than that of Kagra a more yellowish hue shone k t between the - black stripes. Both very Z " beautiful, and very courageous and very formidable. " . - ' . ; "At length, as they thus advanced step J 1y step, very slowly, Kagra made a spring. - His former victories had probably made him a little self-confident He sprang, not v as if it were a voluntary effbrt'of his own, but as if he were suddenly impelled aloft v by some !j; uncontrollable galvanic force which he could not resist. The spring - was so 8udden,.so rapid, so impetuous, that that it had quite the appearance of being involuntary. The Terai-wallah was not unprepared. As rapidly as Kagra hurled himself, up into the air, so rapidly did , he jump aside f both movements seemed to be simultaneous, so admirably, were they exe-cuted--- Kagra alighted, foiled ; but before . he could recover himself, before he could well have assured himself that he was : foiled, the Terai-walla"h was upon him. "vThe claws of his adversary were fixed : firmly in his neck,-and the horrid jaws were already grating near histhroat. It iwas the work of a moment. ' . We could scarcely . see that the- Terai-wallah had " gained -the advantage -wecould scarcely distinguish his "huge fore paws grasping i, the neck, and. his open mouth plunged at the ' throat when Kagra made" another r spring, a bound in which be evidently con ' centrated all his energy." The Teraiwal ' ' Iah was dragged with him a little, the claws that bad been dug into his neck , were torn gratingly through it ; the open mouth snapped fiercely but harmlessly at the advancing shoulder, and Kagra was ;; free. ". Z '- ."""It was but an instant that the two ti " gers stood surveying each other, open-mou- fsCthed, after Kagra had shaken off" the grip of his antagonist,",. With distended jaws -the ample mouths -opened to their utmost limit, their beautifully streaked skins staft . ing from theirfoams in excitement, their -; eyes distended as they watched .each otb- er, the ends of their tails moving once or v ., twice, as if, with convulsive twitches they .stood. -Kagra was the first to attack again. This time his opponent was too near to try :a his former stratagem, of slipping to one fl side. He met him boldly. They stood, at this moment, near the centre of the arena, and as the sharp claws moved incessantly, and the ; huge mouths tried to grasp the . neck on, either side, it was impossible to f distinguish the attack from the defence ; . all was so rapid. " . ' M Drawing gradually nearer, as they thus fought with claws and mouths fero- - ciously, .: uttering fierce snarl as they did ? e,aCa seemed to. have succeeded in grip- - ping his anUgonist. . With their mouths W buried in each other's throats, and their - claws dag deep into the neck, they rose at length to the contest on their hind legs : straining and tugging, and wrestling, as it A wee,- with each other," each with his ut- I most force and skilL It was a spectacle of starling interest, that y and, however you may turn away, good madam, and exclaim horrible -or savage I believe me, there were many ele- mentsof the sublime in that contest ; and doubtless, such contests often take place in the jungle. " They stood more than six feet high as they thus gtappled .with each oth- er, elevated on their hind legs in a sort of death-struggle ; their : round heads and glaring eyes surmjuniing the muscular pillars of their long bodi'S beautifully." t , As the tjger-sublime is all we value thete extracts for, we merely sum up the remain ing details. Kagra threw his antagonist whdtben turned him and got a deadly ad vantage, from which he. was forced off with hot iron rods, while poor Kagra esca ped into his cage. " ! RAILROAD ACCIDENT. J On Thursday a singular accident occur red on the Harlem railroad. The mail pas senger train was proceeding at its usual speed,- when, owing to a defect in the iron, the axle of the bind truck of the baggage car broke short off, and the truck was at once hurled back upon the first passenger car . Striking- the first truck of this car it detached the two trucks, passed under the cr through its whole ; length, ripping up the floor and the seats on both sides, with the exception of a tew at the turiber end. The force of these twodeUiched trucks dis lodged the other truck of this car, and the three were then hut led upon the second passenger car. The first truck of this, un able to wbithstand the shock, was likewise torn from its place, and the four trucks' ploughed through the flooring of this car also, scattering seals and passengers in all directions. i They were finally brought up by the hind truck and the train was stopped, when the four trucks were found piled up in a heap at the end of this car, and nearly reaching to the roofing. These two cars contained eighty or one hundred passen gers men, -women and children and, marvellous-to relate, with a single excep tion, not one of them received a scratch. BATHS BATHS. HOT OR GOLD.

PROS PECTUS OF THE " SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, to , be published weekly ,at HUson, iV. C. THE existing condition of political parties, snd of partizan strife, naturally suggests h estab Hhlngof such a journal as the "Southern Senti nel" propose. to become. The present, indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never witnessed be fore.' The Constitution has been invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; bailut boxes broken and burnt; the landmarks of U our political ancestry partially effaced ; ths wis- dom derived Irom a time-honored experience on seated; strange and questionable mvn have been puAecinto high positions; and fanaiici.-m, unchai ned front its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among us in the South. These evils, so far as it humble abilities shall serve. THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men at the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic faitl. ' ft will defend nn only political out BKLioioca UDerty, and win do oattie apainst ev ery political heresy that may appear, wheihei hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of oolitics. devote SDacc to literarv tonics, original and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects, which shall include Agricultural and the latest Com mercialintelligence. In brief.no ef Forts nor ex penses will be Spared to make the Sentinel one of the most usetul and emcient journals in the oulb. The first.nuraber of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month, snd sent to sub scribers at the rate of per annum: S2 50 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the var.

ITTAS commenced on the 3d of November. 1655, V and has thus far received very general aporo bation. Anxious to extend its influence, and place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the attention ol the thinking public of America to its claims upon their consideration. ; The main feature of the CRITERION ts Its Re views of Current Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important Books as they are issued, pointing out their chief eharacteristxa, and indicating their oral tendencies, thus keeping Its readers informed of all new- publications which deserve their attention. It also contains - Copious Intelligence of A ffairs in the Literary norm. Gossip concerning Books and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publications, and Lists of Netff Boots issued in A mertca and Europe, The Drama, Mu6ic, Fine Arts; and Science, also receive atf ion, and several columns of carefully selected and agreeable mater are given in each number. In addition to the above there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection et INoiea and Queries which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information. . It is confidently believed that a journal such at the CRITERION cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and tn some extent upon rut national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which ia being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading maotke literary intelligence atone mast render it veryde- birable; and loan who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, the encouragement ot merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicioua style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enter prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent. To members of Historical, Li:eraiy and Scienti fic Societies, Lyceum and Debating Clubs, the subjects diseuvsed in this paper will at ail times prove of peculiar interest, and It Is the design of the editors to thoroughly canvass from time to time those Important philosophical questions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theo ries, and encoti rasing profitable investigation. - The CRITERION is published at S3 per an num, payable yearly, half yearly or quarterly in ad vance.
