THE ARAD HVNPBR’S STORY.
*A : CONTKBT BCTWZIN A BOAR AND UON.
' In (he days of my youth,-.when a black moustache
curled, where you now see . the hoary board of my
,winter's age. 1 seldom passed a night within my
father's hut; but sollying olilwilh my gun, laid for
’thbryvild which frequented a neighboring
forest.
Ona moonlight mornlpg I had taken.my position
on a high rock, which overhung a fountain and a
smell ipatah, a favorable spo( 'with'our hunters to
.watch- forebear, which-resorted" thllheVlo rboi and
.drink.-
• The moon traversed half the heavens, and tired of
waiting, 1 had fallen asleep, when 1 was aroused by
a‘rustling in (he wood, os on (ho.approach of some
large animal. I raised myself with caution and ex.
arhined'llio priming* of my gun, ero tbo onlma) en
tered the marstl. He puusud and seemed to be
listening, ‘when .a growl, half bark, announced him
io' bo a JiOjir.Jqnd a huge beast ho was, and with
steady slept he entered the marsh. ’*
; T_,could mow tee by the bright moon as he beared
rhyj-Vtailop; -rft o t I*" DffffleS'wo?i**wlille' vSth.i'gß,
ondhislusk* gleamed Blip steel among Che dark qb
jcCts around him. I cocked, liny gun, and waited his
approach io Iho fountain/
Having-whetted he began to root; but
he.appeared to be restless, asifhe knew some'she*
my. was a( hand; for every now and then raising
bis-snoul, he snuffled tho.alr,
( | 'marvelled at these iji.u.vemcnts, for as the breeze
c&meTrutn a quarter opposite to my position, 1 knew
1 could not bo the object of the boar’s suspicions.
This ho repeated ouco or twice, and again began
to root. .
Keeping a sharp look oat on the spot whence I
heard tho strange noise, 1 fancied 1 could distin
guish the grim and snaggy head of a lion crouching
upon, his fore paws, and with oyea thatglured like
lighted charcoal through the boshes, ho seemed peer
ing ul the movements of the boar, who. was busy
routing, bat .with bristles erect, and now and then
muttering something that 1 could not understand.
,' The lion had crept,within twenty feel of the boar,
but was hidden in part by rushes.' I wailed breath
lessly for the result, and, although myaelf out of
danger, 1 trembled with anxiety at this terrible
scene,
The boar again raised his snout, and half turned
his side towards the lion, and 1 fancied 1 could see
his twinkling eye watching.tho enemy. Another
moment and the. Hon mode a spring, and was receiv
ed by the boar, who reared , upon his hind legs. 1
thought I could hear tho Umv of his tusks as (he
combatants rolled on (be ground. Leaning over the
rook, 1 strained my eyes to see the result. To my
surprise the boar! was again on hi* legs, and going
buck a few.paces, rushed at |iis fallen fooj u loud
yell was given by the lion, which wss answered by
the distant howl of tho jacklills. Again and again
the ferocious boar charged, till he buried hit very
snout in the body! of. the. lion, who was.kioklng in
tho agony of death. Dlo'xS Indeed Rowed freely
from (he aides of lh* boar, but his bristles still stood
etccl a* be triumphed over the sultan of the forest.
An Incident occurred at tho Key Biscay ne Light 1
Houie,- during the Florida war, which is perhaps'
worth recording. The light, house was kept by a
mart named Thompson. H|s only companion was
an old‘negro man; they both lived In a email hut
• near the'light bouse. One evening about dusk they
discovered a parly of some fifteen or twenty Indians
creeping upon them,.upon which they immediately 1
* retreated into the light house, carrying with them
’ a keg of gunpowder, with the guns and ammunition. 1
; Prom the windows of the light nouse Thompson fired
opon them several times { but the moment he would
show himself at • window, (he glasses would be
riddled by rifle bails, and he had no alternative but
to lie clow. Thu Indians meanwhile getting out of
patience at not being, able to furco llm door which
poor Thompson had scoured, collected piles of wood,
which being placed nguinst the door and set fire to,
| In process of time not only burnt through’the door. (
but also aet lira to tho staircase conducting to Uio i
lantern, into which Thompson and tho negro were 1
compelled to retreat. From (his 100 they ware final,
ly. driven bji the onrosching flames, and wore forced
outside on the carpel wall, which was not more than
three feet wide. •
■o|.
The Hamos now began to ascend from a ohim.
Doy. aomo fifteen or twenty feel above the light
Hums,. These two men had to lie io this situation,
some seventy fool above the ground, with a blazing
furnace mating them on one aide, and the Indiana
on the other, embracing every occasion, aa eoon da
any part of the body was exposed, to pop at them.
The negro, 1 incautiously exposing himself, was hill,
od, and Thompson received scvorul bulls in hie feel,
which ho had projected boyondjho wall. Thompson
seized.the keg which he hud alii) pro*
served to hoop from tlio hands of the enemy, threw.
it Into the blazing light house, hoping to'and <hls
own Nuffvrings and destroy the savages. In * few
momenta it exploded, but the walls were 100 strong
to be shaken, snd the explosion look place nut oflha
liglil house, us though it had been fired from their
guns.
The effect of the concussion was Jo throw.down
the blazing materials level with the ground, so at to
produce ? subsidence of the flames, and then Thomp
son was permitted to remain exempt from (hair in

Thompson being left alone was compelled to throw

This place is in the interior of Jav*,-and contain*
hot a native population, with the exception of Mr.

extend back quite to the mountain side: inoatof Ibo,
land is cultivated, but thero are some portions yOK
wild, covered with jungle grass, and, higher up, with
tho forests. '.These places .with (be deep ravine**'
furnish a fine retreat for the tiger, which, of
have beoomo unusually troublesome, for.they carry,
off both man and beast. Mr. F. has ton traps sfl*
for (hem—one was lately caught, a Very large one,
and was destroyed by drowning, tho. place being
dammed up, and the water from a email stream,
turned in until it covered tho trap, During tha last]
your, thirty seven natives wore carried .off by tb*
tigers; only a month since',V native was taken wbllO
sleeping, in his hut; on the following morning (b(T
people turned out in a body and made aear6h for tho'
man. Fullowing.'lho course of blood to a ratiqSj
they found nothing IcU but one leg, and (he tiger
not to bo seen. Not long since two tigers jumped
into on oncloser occupied by a Javanese and attempt* 1
cd to carry off a:horse, but before they could kill It
the people ran nut with torches and frightened (hep),
away.' The tigers, in giving up the horse, determin
ed to have something, and contented themselves with'
taking an old woman's dog. The other day one or
Mr, F.'s cows was attacked, but the tiger misted hia
hold and the cow escaped with the akin torn down
on one side of her head; the boy who was tending'
the cattle, and who saw U, came home in afreet*

Strength is surprising, and almost incredible, did
one not hive it from good authority. They nave
been known to enter an enclosure twelve feel high,
and take out & horse; the next day the body of the
horse was found parljally devoured. One wop Id
think It would be bs much as the tiger could do to
get out without the Incumbrance ofthe horse. Too
can only judge of their great strength when yon see
It displayed. I have seen two tiger fights, and shall
see eight others in a few days at Solo. Not with
standing the numbers caught every yppr, tbeyarc
still very numerous in all parts ofthe Island^' They
are very rarely to be seen except after dusk, and
(hen only to make (hair attacks, which they do by
coming'stealthily behind. At yet I have seen but
one, and that when 1 was travelling, at about seven
