TICE TIGER'S LEAP.
The English ship Cremona - vas on
the eve Of leaving Calcutta. on her
homeward bound passage. The star
board anchor hung at the eat-head,
and the other was already a-mac—
the sails hung in graceful festoons
from, the clewlines and buntlines, the
studding...sail gear *6B ill rigged,
the topsail halyards were cleared
ready. for tteglitlig, and all that the
good ship waited for was the Presence
of Mr. Bowditch, the owner,, who was
going howls . hor:
At length Mr. Bowditch came, ac-.
companied by his daughter Mary, a'
girl of same thirteen years of age,
and two 'Malay'servants. Most of
his luggage had been 911 board for
several days ; but on the present oc
capionhe brought , off a , huge box,
which he desired to have very care
futly,taken over the side ; after all
was safe and snug, and the:old ship
fairly under headway, the. men learn
ed that!the great box contained no
more nqr leas, then .a large Bengal
tiger. , •

that some anxiety at. least may be
exercised on the ,oecithion. Some of
lite hailers on board the Cremona

common run of sailors—and under
the: peOuliar eirciumtances ot,the,
present case they found plenty Of

then the thin was done, and it
couldn't be the tiger was
`on board, and they concluded

of White, experienced the utmost

cry, " The -tiger. I the tiger Pt-which
came from One of the native guides.
The`Water buckets were dropped,
sod all hands' rushed for the boat ;
-but just as White placed' his - right
foot over : Jlie bows, a piercing - shriek
sounded in his ear ; and on turning
he beheld, just beyond the spring,
and on the edge of the thick jangle,
his only , brotMr, s math not more

Captain Langdon - gave consent to
this request ; and in a few moments
a burton was rigged to the mainstay
andihOoked into the stout lashings of
the cage,. when the men seised the
rope and easily swayed the large
grated box upon the deck.
The cage was: , composed of stoat
teakwood, strongly bolted and barred

Express shares` are fluctuating.--
The various. rumors afloat .as to the
details of the; recent arrangement-en
tered- into by the several. Express
Companies seem to hive somewhat
bewildered -the - public; with ;Whom
Express stook has been favorite hi;
vestment, and will , bbe . again when
they clearly 'understand thearrange
mentlias been fully effected. The
card' signed by--Imre.. Dinsmore,
Ross, Barney,. aril 'Wells, Presidents
of the Exprest eampanies, , shonld be
satisfactory - upon this point, and
doubtless' would be, but for some er
xoneous statements mowing at the
same time in the press, under a Mile•
apprehension of the facts.
independent of the card signed by
the Presidents of the Express Com
panies, we are enabled to state posi
tively that the agteement eecontraet,
refened to' by theta half been duly
executed, and is being put in opera
tion as fast ai the details can be pei•
fected.
Considering the magnitude of these
vast enterpriaes, it will, olcourse,re
quire time to. perfect all the data'
as, ogreed upon. By this arrangement
the cutting of prices ceases, and.*
common tariff of rates is being ar
ranged, based upon the coat of tran
sportation, and leaving a reasonable
amnia for dividends, Thjevis the
plan adopted by the Merchanth' Un
ion in making its originil tariff as
given to the public but owing to
the fierce competition and cutting of
prices, it ootdd not at allpoints main=
Lain the equitable rates-thus adopted.
The managers of the express com
panic. have the power, and this
agreement proves their determination
to ea blink such rates as wilt insure
dividends to: stockholders. It cannot
be denied that this in some degree
places. the basin*. public at their
mercy. But the practical adoption
of the original. tariff of the Merchants'
Unicm,and the fact that this Company
retains- absolute control of lines
and !autos, should quiet all appre
hensions on this account. -
The interchange of freight, -money,
and ,packages between the several
companies is another important fea
ture of the agreement. This will en
able them 10. avoid duplicating or
quadruplicatlngexpenses at the same
points,' and at the same time to avoid
the s duplication of non=paying routes.
The imxnenite reduction of expenses
trans obtained, pee, of bourse, to the
bench of the public and id alone
equivalent to. . the saving of reason
able dividends for stockholders. We
see the United States Revenue re
turns that the earnings of the four
express companies, who are parties
to this agreement,are on the average
&bent $1,700,000 per month—in round
numbers $20,000,000 per year.
If, therefore,. they SAVO bgt 25 per
cent of their earnings, they cfojkay
over t9n per cent annual dividends,
or five per cent semi-annually, which
is equal to any of our most prosper
ana railroads. I It cannot, therefore'
be doubted thit hereafter, as former
ly express stocks are to pay regular
and reasonable dividends.' This esti
mate leaves entirely out of view the
earnings of the four greati dispatch
lines which are owned and operated
Jay these express companies.
The large cash surpinsl of each of
the companies, in the aggregate
amounting to several millions, which,
as a measure of prudence, was held
in reserve during the strife, is no lon
ger-needed for belligerent purposes,
and might safely,and perhaps wisely,
be divided among tits stockholdefs.
Whether this will be done or not, we
cannot certainly soy ; but as we sta
ted in yesterday's issue it is current
ly reported.: that a portion of it will
be ea divided., -

Wora.Un't STAY Pot —One day

money,' and who told him he was poor,
alone in the world; and wanted te.go

do better than here at the East:, -
The condlictor, of course, told him
he 'could - not ride unless he paid his
fare.
And said he, "when we - arrive at
Corning you:must-get off." '
- The boy promisee thakhe will &so. /
On his passage throngh the • cars, ,' •
after leaving Corning, the conductor
came across the boy again, "Did I
not i tell yoti to get off at, Corningr
"Yes; ski) said the boy, "and .11.1 id
get. off; butithen I. 'got on again.ir
"Well, sit," said the • conductor,
"When we get to the next place' I ,
want yob to get off and stay off."
Again theboy promised; but shortly,
after leaving the station, who shotild:'
he find butthe boy.
" See' herp, sir, I thought .I told you
to get to and - _stay . off."
The boy acknowledge that the con

boy, "I did get off and was going to
stay off; but just as the -train was

I thought you meant me as much as
