BATTY, THE WON TAMER, ' ' , I Batty is tbe Van Amburg of the day,

ust now the popular favorite. He is none the les9 so from the fact that a few evenings since he nearly fell a victim to the icartfal appetites of. his subjects.,', In his caee tbe old HoraUan axiom, 'Coolum non animum - mutat qui transcununt mare, came nigh to having a fresh illastration'Batty's lions came from Africa, and the passage of the Mediterranean seems to have had upon ' them no -more effect than it had upon the poet himself. t was pretty obvious that they saw out ittle difference between the Champs Elysees and their own native jungles: In sooth they are for the most part "an ill regulated animals, and have 110 more scruples.;; about : making short work of a christian to day, than did their an cestors in the Coliseum ages ago. They are apt to rirsh to conclusions, especial y when. they are hungry, and not given to making nice distinctions unless they are enforced with a strong arm. Bat ty's menagerie contains five of these animals, all fully grown and from six to eight years old. They preserve their teeth and claws untouched and are near ly as fierce as when caught. It has been the habit of their master to enter their cage in a Hungarian costume, and show his complete control over them in every way his ingenuity: has been able to devise. With many growls and much gnashing of their teeth, they do all he b . 0 - . ... ' - - requires of .them and submit to a thou sand-indignities.; Their jaws are violently wrenched apart and rudely slammed together. They are taken up and thrown by his gigantic strength, like bales of inerehandisi Pistols and fire -works are let off under their noses, and at a given signal they leap in succession over their master's head from one end of their cage to the other. Last Saturday a violent thunder storm burst over Paris. My room overlooks the "Cirque del' Imperatrice" in the Champs Elysees, ,where the lions - are kept, and the scene for a short space was indescribably grand. The' air' was full of electricity, and under its influence. these animals, as is always the case, became fearfully excited. They ran to and fro in" ungovernable rage. They lashed their flanks "with their tails, in pas sionate vehemence.' Placing their mouths to the ground they roared in mingled rage and terror. r. Their eyes dilated and seemed to flash forth the lightnings of the tempest that rioted within them Without, the roaring of the lions was answered, by the howls of the blast and the loud crash of the thunder. With these, at intervals, were mingled the neighing of a hundred frightened horses, in tbe stables of the circus. . Gusts of wind s wept down the broad avenue and bowed the lofty trees. The rain descended in torrents. The people fled before the demon of the storm. For a few minutes the whole -vicinity seemed to give up tof the furies of elemental war fare. Scarce had tht muttering thunders died away in. the distant reyerbera.lions, when the time drew mar. for Bat ty's advent among his lions.' - As be came in sight they hailed him wiih bois tefo'us uproar,.. Standing.tipright rtg'iinst the bars , of their cage ; they grappled them in their, rage and ' gnashed upon him with their teeth. ' A man' of Iron nerves conld hardly have looked upon them with calmness."" Had his body been made' of steel ,he . would hardly have dared to trust himself among them. But Batty did not quail. . . At a bound he leaped into the cage 'despising all hesi ' tation Its iron door he slammed after him with a loud clang. ' To us who look ed on it seemed the gate ofa sepulchre. His subjects glared at him as if they would instantly devour him. ' For a moment he returned their glare and looked steadily into the eyes of each. One by one they cowed before him and slunk away conscious of ' their helplessness. Again mind triumphed over the rude dictates of instinct, and man,, the lord and master," towered 3 in -? his ? pride 4 of place. t ; iAu ;-i ' The exhibition proceeded, and again the lions seemed powerless to resist his commands; 3 At length a lioness who had been ordered to leap'over his head failed in the effort- . Apparently miscal culating the distance or her own strength, she struck full upon the head and shoul ders of her master. Her weight bore him to the ground. The lion whose turn and fearfulj wjas.the sigljtO Th 'crowd ed amphitheatre, rose n a body; the women- vnrtrvertexiFeyes; fled shrieking from the house; loud cries arose in all directions, ASsez f ' Assez V ' ''Pen'eSt fini 1" J Quelle horreur V For; a1 mo raent,vand but for a moment, the result seemed uncertain.; But Batty' s tremndous strength and coolness availed even in this nearly fatal hour. . Straggling he arose, and wounded bleeding as he was, dashed bis' principal' antagonist to the further corner of the cage. Seizing his

whip, he struck the lion ' blow In the face- that made him wince1 and falter. The latter dared not defend himself; and

Batty, still the master of his savage and rebellious domain,' gave one stern glance 1 to satisfy himself that peace had been restored, and retired from the scene. ' wounds were severe and nothing" but his own indomitable energy - saved his life." To those who looked at that mortal struggle, that deadly embrace of ragingt growling monsters, who, .. maddened, by ' the taste of blood and . the memory, of . past wrongs, seemed to hold their tyrant in their toils, like Laocoon in the grasp of . the serpents, but one result appeared possible, and it was with heartfelt sighs . of relief and enthusiasti cvivas that Jiattv. was seen to emerge from thecontest still h maul and holdins' his own as of old.' . . ' - - it Plucky as ever, he will ere long return , again to the arena. His '.vounls though deep, only penetr:Vted the fleh ami no bones were broken or arteries severed. ' They are rapidly healing and riatty's. iron frame and robust , constitution will ., ipiickly recover from, the inroad . they have made upon it. - Strange as itmav appear, since the illness of th ;ir master the lions seem to miss him and . long for his return. They are melancholy and : restless. "' They pace the floor " of their cage to and fro, as' if seeking something they could not find.'' At the usual hour of their exhibition they are ro nro acrtt.AfAt than avuf T anM tNoir ' , . -, , . t, also feel the want of loud applause with which they have alwaj's been received, with other great actors and ' public f performers; v i-V-i-' "-' "- r ' : "'r Batty is now 30 3'ears of age. He is an American by birth, but early left the United States to enter the service of . his uncle, who for a long time was the manager of Astley's Amphitheatre in London. From bis earliest years he had a strange affection for wild animals. ; He would enter their cage without fear, and his influence over them was such that the bold est could not withstand it. They seemed fascinated by the powerful glance of his " piercing eyes. " His father was ; frightened at the peculiar and dangerous proclivities of his son and did his best 1 to restrain him, but without effect. ,j Threats and blows were alike unavail ing, and at length Batty fled to Africa to avoid the harsh treatment to ' which he was exposed.. . There for years, he led a wild and sol itar' life, and wandered from forest to forest, from one savage tribe 5to another. Ilis deeds of intrepidity were Incredible by their audacity, and the rude sympathy of his restless and untamed nature found abundant gratification. Among the wild beasts of Africa he was perfectly at home.'and he left them ' with regret."' Somii two or . three 3'ears ago he made his appearance in Paris,1 that great 1 caravanserai of the world, and he and his lions were received with unbounded applause. " IIf3 musclar development is wonderful, and in ' strength and agility he "almost equals the monsters with whom so much' of. his' life has been spent lie can runlika fawn and leap like a leopard, and ot'teu it has" been his fortune to struixiie" for his lif , as he has ' Just ' done, Ca.-a to faie 'and shoulder to shoulder, and "6 fie a has he1 gained the victory, by , sheer... forces of muscle. .. In spite ot the severity-: and painfulnesi of his wounds. Batty would not see a physician. His indouiitable.' courage and solitary instincts led turn to' seclude himself, like a sick, or wounded, lion, from the rest of his species, truaj;-' ing to the recuperative powers of nature.1 It would seem his confidence1 has', not been in vain, and his own natural vigor has been his only medicine. ; S ' What a Woman Can Do. t A correspondent of the New York Sun thus 1 Ieasantly .tells what a woman can do, when she once makes up her mind:, - Some three years since a farmer resi dent of Norwalk died, leaving a large : farm and larger family of young children.' The land was rough, stony, wild and swampy ; and yet the mother, a true lady in every sense of the word, has sueceeded in getting many acres into small fruits, commencing w;ith strawberries, continuing with raspberries, currants, , blackberries,, dwarf pears, (mostly Bartletts and Sickels,) until the present season. .,-. Although a poor year for - frnit, I will guarantee this lady has thus far made more clear money than any farmer ' In the whole State, : devoted - to grazing ' and grain,' will make" th any two years I Almost any day this summer our "lady ' horticulturist may have been seen at our , depot with' her" wagon-and crates of ber-' ries for the New York and Boston markets,' i neatly i- attired, - and modestly : at-; " tending to her own business, commanding the respect of all, ; and : the - special admiration of .every, bachelor: and wid ,h owerin town. More, than all this out- , door yocation has given a vigorous carriage and youthful glow of health possessed by none of your sickly, sentimen J" tal "aimless ones," who go about "with' new "Grecian bend,1 it -stricken with colic or something worse, and horrified at the idea of labor. . , ; . : : t n

- " For the to6r Men to think of. We clip the subjoined, from the Fayette

County let aid, and earnestly commend to the laboring men of the country the valuable lesson it teaches: , , V A tract for the "oor and. Laboring Men : v the U. S., on Democracy. :i L j. BITHSBON Or A RL ACKSM ITH.-1 !''! I am the son of a blacksmith. I was brought up to hard labor In" the shop and in the field. , Knowing by experience f what it is to be poor and to labor for my bread, I have always felt a deep sympa thy for the poor and laboring; classes of men . My father was a revolutionary soldier, and was a Democrat in the true sense of the tiirm. , I .inyself have, from hovhnnd been a Democrat Dm - - ocracy is right it is the strength ot the people; that is tue meaning of tbe term. A Democratic, government1 is a .govern rnent founded by the people, in which all exercise their rights equally, the rich and the poor alike' - The home born citizen and the naturalized foreigner have equal privileges. '.'. t. - r Althouh I ani a Democrat, I do not belong to what' is c-dled the -Democratic party, and I will now give some of the reasons why I do not belong to that party, and will not vote with it. - j ? ..... 1, There is no . Democracy in that , part except the mere name.' bonnerly there were some Democrats in that party,; but they have all gone" out into the Union party. The men who now , rule what is called the Democratic party are Aristocrats. They do not teach the doctrine that all men have equal rights; they do not hold, as our fathers did, "that all men are .created equal," and therefore have equal rights. . ,, t . . 2. It was a branch of that party that rebelled against the Government, and involved the nation. in a. most desperate l,and bloody war,killing hundreds ol thou sands of our best men, and involved us j in a' debt of thousands of millions of dollars. The other branch of the party, by their influence and opposition to the government, encouraged rebels to hope for success against the Union. . And now they aim to restore their rebel brethereu to power again. I cannot vote to sustain such a party. 3. The le.iders of 1 hat party are bad men. They deceive tne people oy iaise representations. I heard . one of them make a speech that was full of lies frae eend eend,' as Burns said of some books. He deceived most of his hearers. The most of them believed that "all was true, and shouted applause, and, doubtless, voted lor him to be a legislator These are some of the reasons why T will not vote with party. . The good name Democrat enables them to deceive the people. There is a Republican party in which there Is true Democracy, and with thai party I intend to vote; and tor this in tention I will now offer some reason: 1. Re publicanism is but another n iuie for Democracy,' .and therefore it is.rig!;. Our' Government is ; Republican..., T hRepublican' party is properly calle I rtti Union party, because there, is. in it .a union of good and true aien iro n nil partip-, and beci4iise.it. sti--t i w I iUh Union of States. In th's p-trty, the doc trine of equal rights is maiutaiued both in theory and practice. The Civil Rights bill an d the laws or tbe reconstruction "of the rebel States are tne most Dmocratio' laws ever" passed by a Na tonal legislature. And those laws vere en acted -.by, the Rep-:blit aa party.' For those members I of Congress who call themselves ' Democrats voted against these Democratic laws, and that clearly proved that they are ' not Democrats -Hence I, as a Democrat, stand with the Republican 'party 'beeause it is a true Democrtic party T . ' i ; ' 5 2. The Republican party ' In5, done more to promote liberty and protect the poor than any other party in the world Of this the Civil Rights bill, reconstruction laws and revenue laws are incontrovertible evidence.- " The : rich men are taxed to payr the enormous debt the Democrats brought upon the nation, and -not a dollar is, by ' direct tax,' 'exacted from the poor-laboring classes.- I am poor; Idonot own a horse to ride, or a house to dwell, in, and yet the govern ment might have exacted of me five dol lars or(more every year; but I hae not "been compelled to pay one cent. Some things might , be exacted . from almost every one, but unless a man isso rich as to have . an income, of more than a thou , sand dollars Tie pays no direct" tax, Poor men ought not to allow themselves to be deceived by "the false representations which designing. men make: to get them' selves into office. Now t, as a poor man,1 feel that it is a benefit to tne and - every other poor man to have ? a party ! at- the helm of government that has compassion .for the poor,' and does secure to them all their rights' ' :io;'-titf .'tiU - i We ought not to vote against our best friends while 'they are do. ng right, ' and the best they can do for the nation. "l f 'i 3f TheRepublican party, while there i

are som e bad m en in it, ; has , , th e , great . mass of good ".ami loyal ,men of. the , nation, and those predominate in the party, and hence we have : the , enactment , of , more equitable laws than were ever be-, fore enacted by our national legislature. And it is the party that" delivered the nation trom the most powerful rebellion the world ever, known. It embodies, , with little exception,- the brave- soldiers, that fought our battles, : and conquered' the rebels. How ungrateful it would be' to vote against such. party, 'and vote.

for the, party that embod ies all the robei sympathizers in the nation! .Such is the nominal : Democratic partv"; How canany honest harted inan sustain by his vote a party that has '.done ' so'nvteh' to- ( nun tbe nation?. ( ; Ct J -tvcr ; -'-( 4 . The Republican party has put in nomination two worthy 'candidates Grunt for Presi lent, and Colfux for Vice President 'Who .will vote against the man who. nobly led our brave armies to victory over the most inveterate and: cruel enemies fiat ever disgraced the race of man? Will any true hearted man vote against Colfax, who has. presided over tfie councils ot the nation with such wisdom and propriety .as must be . approved hy all wise and good . men, and who has a character , without , blemish? May twe not.rt'tfii-m that no true and loyal man will; vote .against, the, candidates? Let shame coyer all who ; will do a d. ed so vile as that of giving such a vote. I have thus, given some of my reasons wh3 I stand with the Republican and Union party, and why I will vote the Union ticket. I ;will ever go for union and equal rights. .. .

Blair, and others, spoke.' The day was close3 with an immense torchlight procession, numbering 1,500 torches. Large delegations " were present from Albion, Marshall, Galesburg, Kalamazoo, Decatur, Atbens,-f Em met t, and Leroy. The town was fairly illuminated at night with transparencies.

A New York correspondent of the Boston Journal makes the following statement: - "The condac-'1' tors of our city railroads are said to be the hardest worked and the poorest paid of any class among us. But if recent .-, investigations amount to anything, it is not so profitable as it is imagined. - The Belt Road in this city ; is crowded with ; i passengers. One can seldom get a seat, r or even get - into , the cars..- '- Yet there havQ not only been 00 dividends, on' that . road, but .the . Company;' have become well nigh bankrupt. -u They, have sunk -) 8300,000. A rugid investigation was set ; on" fobfc5 : Thirty five ; shrewd detectives :; or spies were put on the track.: Com pacing the"1 receipts ; with what the con- .", ductors turned in,' it is estimated that the Company have-been defrauded during the past t welve months out of 0tOO,- !: 000. The stock that should be above . par! is not worth ten cents on the dollar." The Cincinnati Chronicle says;' . ' :' ! "Wc desire our friends in other States to understand that Ohio Grant's native State is not, and has not been at any . h time siuce the Chicago nominations were made, at all doubtful. ,Hor is it true, aa j, ; has .been gratuitously asserted, that the Republicans of Ohio 'f ) are 1 : apathetic; Jj.; They are at work - in earnest, and never ; with .better hopes than , to i-day.'.-, We ' have . felt sure; from' the 'outset,' of at least 25.000 majority fer Grant in this ; State. The present indications are that - it will exceed 40,000.;.;.On the other side, i the- nomination of Seymour and Blair -had a disheartening effect which has not been recovered fronu The Democrats are without zeal or enthusiasm. -They are inactive and despondent.
