Figlfttlng Tiger of King or Oude--
Desperate Encounter.
“Harper's Weekly,” just received, con
tains a fine portrait of Burrhea, the fa
mous fighting tiger of the King of Oude,
and gives a thrilling account of a fearful
contest, which we extract in full. , This
tiger stands five feet two inches in height,
and is, therefore, an unusually large ani
mal His ordinary food is twenty-five
pounds or raw meat per day. His anta
gonist On this occasion was a famous stal
lion, whose' ferocitv and blood thirstiness
/ w
.had won ’him the title of “Man Eater.”
The account is from the “Private Life of
an Eastern King/’ and runs thus: “Burr
hea was the name of a favorite tiger of the
King’s; so called from a village at the
foot of the Himalayas, near to which he
was taken. We were all assembled at
Chaun-guhge in the gallery of a court
yard, about sixty yards square in extent—
a court yard with buildings all round, and
a veranda ’ below. Thick bamboo railing
had been put up in front of the veranda,
so as completely to encircle the court yard,
and to forin a sort of enlarged cage. The
man-eater' had been enticed into the en
closure by mhans of a little mkre —a tattoo ,
as the country horses are called—of trifling
value.;
“The King and his usual suite of fe
male attendants had taken their places in
the gallery, he oh a sofa placed there for
the purpose,; they; behind him. We stood
on his| Majesty’s right and left, leaning on
the parapet! or on the sofa. Every one
commanded a full view of the court-yard,
act'd the ladies seemed to relish the pros
pect as mitch as any one. The order was
given,! and Burrhea’s cage was brought
into the verandaJ A door in the bamboo
railing, prepared! for the purpose, was
drawn! up.tbo cage door was -opened, and
Burrhea bounded into the couit-yard, lash
ing his sides.with his long tail, and gla
ring furiously upon the. man-eater and his
little jfemale friend. A more beautiful
tiger than- Burrhea it wou’d not be easy
to discover in all India. His glossy coat,
regularly screaked, shone in the enclosure,
in pleasant contrast with the frowsy cov
ering of thh little mare. Even the well
kept hide of! the map-eater was sadty want
ing ini brilliancy when compared with the
glittering sk!in of Burrhea. ■ The tiger had'
been kept without food or drink from the
previous day to prepare him for the as
sault. Hp glared savagely at the horses
as he entered, and commenced slowly steal
ing along! toward them. The man-eater
kept his eySs fixed on the of his
enemy. Not for an instant did he take
them |off; his head lowered, standing in
an easy attitude, with one foot slightly ad
vanced, be awaited the attack, moving as
Burrhea moved, but always' with the eyes
intently fixed. As for the poor little mare,
she whs transfixed with fear—paralyzed —
apparently unable to take a thought for
preservation. She stood cowering in a
corner, awaiting her fate. With a slight
bound Burrhea was upon the mare in un
instant. A blow of his paw threw her
over on the ground; his teeth were fast
ened in her neck, and he drank her blood
greedily, ft was simple butchery, for there
was no resistance.
“ *lt will make Burrbea only the more
savage/ said (he King, robbing his hands
gleefully. 1 The European courtiers assent
ed; and the female attendants, ignorant
ef thfil language, but certain that the King
ma ideated, 'were' mightily pleased tik».
[INDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING-]
They exchanged glances of approbation 1
and 6f satisfaction ere they turned again <
to watch the| proceedings in the court- i
yard. Burrhea might hare been from i
three to five minntos enjoying his draught 1
of blood—not more—his head turned to- ;
ward the man-eater all the time, and his .
eyes for the most part fixed on him. The '
man-eater, on his side, gave no indica- i
tionsof uneasiness. An impatient snort I
or two escaped him; that iijp| all. With I
protruded neck and cocked ears and gla- 1
ring eye-balls, and twitching tail, he j
watched his enemy intently, still standing
ip an easy attitude of attention, as if pre- I
pared for immediate action. i
“At length Burrhea was satisfied, or I
else no more blood was forthcoming ; and i
taking his claws out of the dead animal, i
and shaking himself as he did so, he be- 1
gan to go stealthily round the court-yard, '
like a cat stealing a march on a rat. He '
made no noise whatever The large paws
were placed one after the other upon the i
ground, the soft ball of the foot prevent- i
ing any sound. Slowly were they raised ;
and depressed, while ihe long back as i
slowly made its way forward—now raised i
at the shoulders, now at the hind quarters ’■
as the legs were moved—the skin glancing 1
backwards and forward as if hardly be- 1
longing to the bones and muscles beneath
it. Tt was not a scene to be forgotten ; '
the King and his attendant females gazing i
intently above j the European courtiers
straining with eyes and ears to catch every
movement and every sound; the man-eater
in .the center of the court-yard slowly turn
ing as the tiger turned, bi.s head and cars
and neck ever the same; the tiger steal
ing along so cat-like in aspect, and yet so
gigantic in strength. Not a sound was
audible but the grating of the man-eater's
feet, as they were raised and lowered
again—not a sound other; but all was
mute expectation and anxious gazing.
“At length the tiger bounded with the
rapidity x of lightning upon his enemy; the
horse was fully prepared It had evidently
been Burrheu's intention to seize the bead
and fore quarters; but the man-eater was
too adroit for that; and, by a quick divin/
motion of his head and shoulders, had re
ceived his antagonist upon his muscular
haunches behind. The claws sank deeply
into the flesh while the hind-feet of the
tiger made a grasp or two at the fore-legs
of the horse; but there was no time to
secure his position. The man-eater lashed
up with his iron heels into'the air with
tremendous vigor, apd in a moment Burr
hea was sprawling on the ground, not at
all the better for his attack. We could
hardly perceive, however, that he had been
thrown upon his back —partly against the 1
bamboo railing, partly on the ground—
when he was on his legs again, gyrating
as before, moving stealthily round as if
nothing had happened With an indig
nant snort the man-eater resumed his for
mer position, and awaited another spring,
his muscular haunches bearing evidence
in their lacerated skin, and in the gouts
of blood which disfigured them, of the
sharpness and strength of the tiger’s claws.
“ ‘ Burrhea will kill him yetexclaimed
the King, turning to the nearest European.
‘Undoubtedly,your Majesty,’said the cour
tier. Cat-like did Burrhea pace round and
round again, hia oroad round head ever
turned towards bis wary antagonist. Each
foot with its brawny paw was lifted and
lowered again in succession, noiselessly as
before, while the beautifully streaked bide
played over the' bones and muscles freely.
With distended nostrils and flashing eyes
the man-eajerwatched again as intently as
ever, exactly in the same position as for
merly, the head and neck lowered and pro
traded, the ears cocked rigidly, the eyes
fixed in a glazing stare at the stealthily
gliding tiger, and one fore-foot ever slight
ly advanced, to admit, doubtless, of that
rapid diving and thrusting forward of the
shoulder ahd head, by which he had for
merly succeeded in getting his antagonist
on his hind quarters. : For fully eight or
ten minutes did this momentous circling
of Burrhea continue, the man-eater ever
facing him and gazing intently, an angry
snort now and then bursting from the
horse as he turned. Burrhea opened his
huge jaws widely at times, and licked up
the drops of blood which still clung to
them; and once (but once) he paused for
a moment over the dead mare, as if medi
tating a second draughty Bat the irreso
lution was only momentary, and the mo
notonous walk Wfis continued.
“ At length the decisive moment arrived
again. Burrhea was standing almost over
the carcass of the dqad mare, when he
sprang once more—sprang so suddenly,
that' we in the gallery started -at the sight,
expecting it though we were; and more
than one of the attendants on the King
gave forth a stifled exclamation of alarm.
There was no premonitory growl or dis
play of any kind. It was at if by galvanic
agency the tiger had been suddenly lifted
into the air in the course of his monotonous
gyration. Man-eater was not taken by
surprise, however. His head was ducked
still lower than before; his fore quarters
seemed to glide under the springing as
sailant, and again were Burrhea’s claws
dug deeply into his haunches, bat further
over on this occasion than on the former.
The broad round head of the tiger pro
jected for an'icstani beyond the tew of
the hone, while his hind obits were sank
deeply into the man-eaten; taoasjL For
ap instant we aaW him quivering Unstead
ily in that position, crouching with his;
belly on the hone’s back, clinging to his
prey for an instant, but only for an instant
Again did the ferocious stallion lash up
with his hind feet, almost as if he would
throw himself over on his back* His iron
heels came with crashing force against
the jaw of Burrhea, and in it moment the
tiger was sprawling helplessly upon the
ground, once more stretched |pon his back.
“It was but for an in: font, however,
that Burrhea thus lay; but, when he re
sumed his feet, and: began running round
the bamboo enclosure, it was quite apparent
that it was no longer to attackagain, but
to escape. His jaw was broken, and with
his tail between his legs,lie cried out loudly
with pain as he rtn round, not unlike a
whipped spaniel. The man-eater watched
him as before, intently, evidently fearful
of a ruse, and finding it difficult to keep
up With his rapid motion. But it was no
ruse .* Burrhea was looking eagerly for some
method of escape, orying almost piteously
as he did so. ‘His jaw is broken/ was'
whispered by some of the male servants
below, who watched him front the veranda.
The sound reached our gallery, and the
King heard it. ‘Burrhea’s jaw is broken 1’
he exclaimed to us; ‘ shall We Ipt him es
cape?’ ‘As - your Majesty pleases,’ was
our answer. The signal was given, the
door was opened, the bambops opposite to
it raised, and Burrhea rushed in to bury
himself in the furthest corner,
“ Proudly did the map-eater snort and
paw when he found himself thus victor.
He first scampered up to the mare, and
snuffed there a moment; and then spurning
her with his foot, with bead andtail arched,
he trotted to one point and another of the
bamboo railing, as if anxious to get at the
attendant servants. His blood was up;
and tigers or men, he did not mind which
were his assailants now, or which he as
sailed.”
Great Breach of Promise Case-*
The Damages sloo,o#o I
Miss Effie Carstang, a lady of twenty
five or thirty years, entered a suit against
Mr. Henry Shaw, an old and respected ci
tizen of St. Louis, Missouri, who has
numbered about sixty-five winters, for
damages to the amount of : pne hundred
thousand dollars , for an alleged breach of
promise of marriage, and-tpe. trial took
place in that city last week. Mr. Shaw is
a gentleman of great wealth. He-defend
cd the case by offering a letter in evidence
from the lady, to show that he offered to
marnpher, but she refused;; The Court,
however, excluded the letter, but the re
porters seized and copied it; The follow
ing is a correct copy of the letter. It was
written in the spring of 1858, and was
addressed to Mr. Shaw:—
“ When I last saw you, I said that I
would see you again dr writp to you, but
delayed doing either, as I; hoped your
sense of right would lead you to seek, an
interview with me. I write to you now
not because it is a pleasant task, nor do I
do it to annoy you, for I believe I am so
constituted, that it is my disposition al
ways to heal, rather tban wound; hut, at
the same time, I consider myself under all
circumstances, as bound to protect and de
fend my own person, honor and reputation,
let who will suffer; and I write now to re
mind yon, that by your attentions the last
two years to me, and our engagement, and
your subsequent desertion of me, yon have
attacked and compromised!;all three. It
is unnecessary for me to say that I am

is over two years since you sought-my
acquaintance and requested permission to
visit me, and offered me references as to
your character and position, and very soou

said your wealth and business did not
answer for company; you wore very lone

live with you; that your single sister

time to test the sincerity <if your offers,
becoming satisfied that yon really desired
me for your wife, I accented you, and
from that time you were a! constant visi

made me presents from time! to time, and
frequently invited me to ride, and seemed
to desire that our relation should he made
public. You invited me to meet friends
at your house in the city, and to ride out
to your country seat. You sent me a
piano and. desired that I should employ a
teacher. You told sister that you were
going to take me away, and finally named
the time when you would : marry, and I
made preparations for the same. The
time arrived, and you postponed It, on ac
count of your desire to perfect your ar
arngemeuts in relation to'the botanical
garden. You removed the piano to your
own house, under the pretence that you
desired it on account of a musical party to
be held there. . Finally, you cease’ to visit

The damages awarded by the jury, (one
hundred thouiand dollar* ,) which are the
heaviest ever given in America on such a

he ought to suffer. It ua common prac
