The caravan left the Nile near Dungola, and thence paaaed on to the dvaert of Kordofan, There M. Thibaut engaged the aervico of th Arab word bnutara, whoa .kill and courage were of uch aerviuo to ttlr Samuel Uaker tn hi xpedlUun tlilrty yean later to He ourc of th Kit trthutariee, and tn two day they lighted tbegtraffe. A female with a fawn wa Aral pur pied by th Arab, who killed the ani mal with their aword, aud next day tracked and caught th fawn in the thorny nilmoaa acrub. For four day the young giraffe wa aeourod by a cord, the end of which wa held by on of tlie Arht at the end of that time it wa perfectly tnine, and trotted after the caravan with the female camel which had been brought to eupply it with milk. Th Arab wr txcellent nurae, and taught th young creature to drink milk by putting their finger into It mouth and to Inducing it to uck. Fonr other which M. Thibaut caught died in th cold weather tn tlie desert. But h replaced thro Of the and brought four, including the first taken, down the Nile to Alexandria, and then by ihlp to Malta. "Providence alone," he wrote, "enabled me to nurmouut theio dirfloultiet." From Malta they wore brought to London and lately lodged in the Zoological gardena In th dimmer of lHSo. Tlie largeat wa then about eleven feet high, the height of an adult male being twelve foot at the ahouldtir and eighteen foot at the head. For many years, a we have etild, the giraffe throve aud multiplied. They readily took to European food, and ate bay and frenh gran from the toll rack with which tlieir tble were fitted. Onion and ngar were their favorite delicaoie, and in icarch of augar they would follow their keeper and lip their long prehennile tongue into hi hand or pocket. But they alway retained a liking for eating flower, a reminis cence jwrhap of the day when their parent feasted on miniona blossoms in the desert; tome time ago one wa aeen to stretch it neck over the railings and to delicately nip off an artificial rose in a young lady' hat They were most af fectionate creatures, and, as H. Thibaut noticed when in charge of them in up per Egypt, would shed tear if thoy tnifuiod their companion or their usual attendant. But the development of the lachrymal ducta, which enable the giraffe to ex press it emotions in this very human fashion, is less obvious than the won derful sixe and beauty of the eyes thorn selves, which are far larger than those of any other quadruped. While the mahdi's power remain unbroken at Khartoum, tliore ts little probability that the Soudan traders will lie able to supply any giraffes to occupy the empty house in Regent's park. London Spec tator. A Lively Welt. A Bellatr, O., dispatch saysi "There is much excitement in this section over a wonderful well on Pawpaw creek, near Salem, a village on the Cleveland and Marietta railroad, fifteen miles south of Summerfleld, Noble county. A well wo drilled to the depth of 1,400 feet about nineteen years ago. Oil or got not being found it was abandoned. Sov eral years later water and gas com menced coming from the hole in great force, which threw the tubing out. That gave it a chance and it washed out a large cavity, forty foot in diameter. Six or seven years ago it ceased to flow. Jacob Mart, about two years ago, filled the hole with logs, stone and earth and built a large barn on stone pillars, one of which stood in the center of the cavity. "Recently gas burst up alongside the pillar with a roport like that of Minn dor, a large (low of oil and water fol lowed, and bnfore a half hour passed around the pillar began to sink and was soon out.of siifht.
