Indeed, the business has been so almost exclusively done by two very quiet gentlemen, whose agencies v >r nearly half the globe, that beyond the proprietors and managers of gardens and shows only a very limited number have any conception of the extent of their operations, or of so much as their existence. The head of the firm, and directing spirit of its workings, is Mr. Charles lioiche, considerably this side of fifty, with the comfortable bonhommic manner of an educated traveled gentleman. His New York establishment, at 55 Chatham street, is passed by unnoticed by hundreds daily; yet, from it, orders are supplied from almost every traveling show in the United States, from the Zoological Garden in London, and others in Russia, Austria, and elsewhere. His large supply depot for this country is in Hoboken. Henry Reiclie, his brother and partner, lives iu Germany, where they have a general supply farm for all the world, with accommodations and appliances for the keeping of almost every kind of bird, beast and reptile from any country or clime in that part of the world which has been ex plored. They are ready at any time to fill an order for any thing from a single canary through singing birds, display birds, or trick birds, up to a flock of ostriches, or from a field mouse to aij, elephant. Paul Lulin, one of the Reiche Brothers' men, -who has lately returned from Africa with rare birds and auimals, tells interesting stories of the perils of the hunt. He says: "The lion is a fierce creature, and the lioness, when protecting her young, very much worse; but from long practice we know just ho.v to go after them. A good rifle, firm hands, and steady eyes, and we can soon topple the old fellow over. The old lady may take a little longer, but in the end we are sure to kill her, and then it is no trouble to pick up and secure the cub. We try to get these little fellows when they are about three or four weeks old. They are then like young puppies, easily managed, and soon learn to know their keepers. Leopards, tigers, and all that kind of auimals wo get in the same way, and at about the same age. Baby elephants are hard to get, and the hunt is very dangerous. The old ones seem to know instinctively when we are after their young, and their rage is something terrible. The trumpeting of the parents can be heard for a long distance, and quickly alarms the whole herd. The rifle is comparatively useless, and trying to approach them particularly hazardous ; yet it has to bo done. First, we try to distract the attention of the femalo from her offspring. Then a native creeps cautiously up from behind, nud, with one cut of a heavy, brcad1,-nifp Rfivors the tendons of her hind feet. She is then disabled, cannot walk, and soon falls to the ground. We promptly kill her, secure the ivory, and capture the little one. Of course, we occasionally have a native or two killed in this kind of hunt ; but they don't cost much?only So or SO apiece. The sheikhs are paid in advance, and don't care whether the poor fellows come back, and so wo don't bother much about them. Baby elephants we like to get when they are about one year old. Younger ones are too tender, and older ones kuow too- much. They soon get acquainted with all the camp, aud we have lots of fun with them. Thev are .'ire kindly, docile, #nd as full of capers as the little nigger babies that play with them. " But of all ficrce, ungovernable, lusty brutes," the hunter continued, "the hippopotamus with young is the very worst, and whenever we start off to get a baby of that kind, we calculate to come back with one or more men missing. In the water they fight like fiends, and in live minutes will crush to pieces the strongest boat we can use. They are quick as a ilash, too, notwithstanding their clumsy appearance, and the oarsman have to be wide awake to keep out of their way. On shore they are just as ferocious, and the way they can hurry their stumpy little legs over the crrouud would astonish vou. Thev die hard, too, aiul take a heap of killiug. "When such a job is over you may be sure there is great rejoicing among us ; but as oue little hippopotamus is -worth as much as half a dozen lions, tigers, and such truck, we are well contented to take the risk. We cannot get these babies too young to suit us. One I remember, though I was not. in the hunt, was captured the very day it was born, and the hunters and attendants brought it up on the bottle. It is the same animal tint Barn urn advertised so extensively as the ' Baby Hipjiopotamus,' and it is now traveling with his show. Ostriches we run down on horseback, aud then catch them with the lasso. It is an excitiug chase, but notparticularly daugerous. On these hunts we are entitled to only the young animals we capture. The beautiful skins of the leopards, lions, aud other animals we kill, the tusks of the elephants, the feathers of the ostriches, and all other similar spoils go to the native sheikhs and chiefs ; and those old rascals are sharp at a trade. A sufficient number aul variety of animals having been secured, a caravan is formed to take them across the desert to Germany or America. This usually consists of about one hundred camels, each having its native driver; thirty or forty horses for the white men and the Arab hunters and their attendants; a flock of from 150 to 200 goats, for their milk and also for food, and black slaves to look oat for the goats. The wild animals are secured in strong boxes and carried on the camels' backs. They are all young, and are fed principally with goats' milk, although occasionally, to keep them in good spirits aud tine condition, they are given pieces of raw goats' meat. Horses nre very cheap there, ranging from $15 to $20 each? the natives even cheaper, S8 being thought an extravagant price per man for the trip. Milking goats are worth ?1 each, and others about fifty cents. The jowrney usually occupies from thirty to forty days, and all traveling is done between three and eleven in the morning and five and eleven in the evening. During midday the sun's rays are so fiercely hot as to make labor or traveling hazardous, and none is attempted. The route home is much the same as that taken going out, and in due time the beasts are lauded, usually with very little loss, on the groat stock wild animal farm of Charles Reiche & Brother, in Alfeldt, Hanover. There they remain until needed to fill orders of showmen in either Europe or America, wane tueir hardy captors take three months of rest and recreation before starting on another trip. The Reiche Brothers have nearly $250,000 invested in this enterprise, which they have successfully conducted for mauy years. The extravagance of the prices paid for some of the beasts is little known. As high as $15,000 has been paid for a single hippopotamus in good condition. To-day $20,000 would hardly buy a specimen, as there is not one in the country that is known to be for sale. A rhinoceros is worth from $3,000 to $7,000, according to the demand and excellence. Giraffes sell for $1,000 to $6,000. Lions from $500 to $2,500, leopards from $200 to $400, hyenas about the 8ame, and ostriches from $300 to 8500. Elephants vary in price, for, while some have sold for as : low as SI,000, as high as $10,000 has! heon paid without grumbling for a fine, ! big, intelligent on3. H The Press in ItHsHta. Outside barbarians can have no idea y< of the extreme rigor of the censorship of S( the press in the happy land which calls tv the czar its master. The Qrammer \ tl recently had an article upon the subject, j w which throws a great deal of light upon rj the manner in which that censorship is y exercised. At the post-office were em- cc ployed a number of officials, whose duty Ct it was to mark objectionable passages in m the foreign journals, which were then A stamped out with a layer of printers' I e ink, so that when the subscriber got his h) paper it presented very checkered read- I ing indeed. Means were, however, dis- : covered of removing this incrustation tl: without obliterating the print; the au- uj thorities were therefore forced to adopt tl: a fresh mixture, which defied all attempts ai to remove it. Now for the way in which fc the censorship is exercised. One censor tl: took umbrage at a passage which stated fo * * j y ? tnat " tiie uossaciib riuo ou nine, moiy- ; cr niticant horses." " Little" ami "iusig- ; bi nilicant" were terms derogatory to any- j as thing belonging to the Russian empire* m so the words were struck out, leaving w the astonishing news that "Cossacks'a ride on horses!" A polish journalist : began an article on " Learned Women " j in with a sentence?" Tliere are some things j w which, like a couple of rough-hewn i tc blocks, do not fit together; to such j w things we must add women and learn- j y< ing." The censor, remembering that a former empress of Russia, the great j Catharine; had the character of a learned i M woman, struck the passage out as reflect- j rc ing on the imperial dignity. During the > ki Crimean war an account was given of the I P famine in some of the Swedish proviu- I cc ces. The censor allowed this article to i ai pass but altered the word " Swedish " to j s? " French," as the Russians were then at pi war with France, but at peace with Swe- la den. In an article on Italy some Italian w words were struck out with the observa- w tion that the censor was not obliged to m censorize Italian. Probably he could I not rend them, and so deleted the words di to bo on the side of safety. On another [ tc occasion this same censor struck out an ' entire article from Invalide liusxc, re- 1 al plying to the editorial remonstrances by I sc writing on the proof-sheets the words j hi naproHswye mugosslowiye (unprofita- j pi ble gabble !) The censorship, howover, ' of late years has been considerably mod- j w ified, and the present war will probably I result in a great exteusion of liberty for ! flio nrflDQ ! AJ i" v"3"* I ? ?~ ei A New York Street Character. Among the street characters of New j ai York, writes a, correspondent, one of the j most familiar is Smith the razor strop j to man, who has been for several'years a j fixture on the Nassau street side of the j ag sub-treasury. Twenty years ago Smith j b< was much more widely known than he is ^ now. He theu traveled through the j country, selling razor strops and small j hardware, and became quite famous in j aa his way. Everybody knew him, and he i made so much money that he was ena- ! . bled to open a well stocked store in New . j" York, which he kept going for several i a years, But the store was not a success, i Smith was finally obliged to give it up, , and report said at the time that his fail- j oc ure was the result of too much spiritual- ST ism. He had become a believer (so said report), and instead of attending to his j *h business, he gave his time and his mind i to the mediums. At all events, the store ! P? was shut up. and Smith had to start'out | (ll once more as a peddler. But time had ^h told upon his strength, and after a while a11 he gave up the hard work of peddling b? and started the little street stand which as he still runs just above Wall street. He has a good stock of pocket cutlery which whe takes home with him, stand and all, i at everv night, and as every one in the j" neighborhood knows him and has a kind- ' ly feeling toward him, he gets on pretty , w well With his geutlemanly dress, j smart manner, gold spectacles, and j j ? i la Willi*; 11UU iUlU WUlOn.U10 rnuov ?? man of sixty, at least), Smith is one of "( the most respectable-lookiug street merchants to be found. Transfer him to I one of the handsome offices in the vicini- ^ ty and he would pass for a banker or lawyer, with a home on Fifth avenue, quite as readily as some who have mil- j w lions to their names. A light heart has i J? carried him well through life, and he is I as hearty-looking to-day as when I saw j him nearly twenty years ago, holding ! ~ his nightly auction sale of odds and ends \ cr in a well stocked store on Grand street. | _ jca Good-Nntured Editing. jto "Good natured editing," says some ,j! wise man, "spoils half the papers in ' j the United States." Yea, verily. "Will! 1 you please publish the poetry I send,'' \ . says one, "It is my first effort;" and; ?r some crude lines go in to encourage bud- ! 0 ding genius. " Our church is in great j peril," says another, " will you publish j our appeal ?" and a long dolorous plea j ,ra is inserted. "My father took your 1 ai paper for twenty years," writes another, " I think you ought to publish the reso- | Wf lutions passed by the Big Brake Church ! when he died,'' and in go resolutions of j , no interest to a maioritv of the readers. ! , "I am particularly anxious that the views I present go before the church .

A cigar and betal leaf, prepared with the areca j mit, are next put in the hands of the i bride and bridegroom. One of the j priests then waves two fowls over the B<? heads of the couple, and, in a long ad- a' dress to the Supreme, calls down bless ings upon the pair, and implores that peace and happiness may attend the union.

All the house was fixed p -with stuffed furniture, and there was lings to eat I didn't know the uames of; id four musicians from the city to play ir them to dance, and after the wedding icre was a carriage to take the young ilks to the railway depot, for what they ill their tour, and a wagon behind, less you, with the bride's trunks, as big i houses, every one of 'em. That was y Martha's niece, that bride was ; and heu Martha was married she wont on different kind of a tour. I mean to tell all about it while I'm talkig, though she says the young people ill tliinlr alio xrnnn't. a hit. nrontnnl iel isn't my brother any way?never as. Give me up and down just what du are worth?no airs. We didn't take any in those times. 7e were new settlers, every one of us. [artlia's mother and father had one big j >om for parlor and sitting-room and j itchen, and there we were married, eter Grimes fiddled for us, and we had i >rn cakes and chicken, and sweet cake j id coffee; and light biscuits and plum i is, and fried pork for supper; and the j irson he ate as hearty as any and j ughed as loud as any of us?though j hen it came to dancing, of course lie asn't there; and after we'd danced until orning, Martha and I started home, had a cart; it hadn't any cover, and it idn't ride very easy, and I was going ; > take her over in that. "We'd had a furnishing bee before and 1 my folks and all hern had givo us j imetning ; but - Grandmother Smith i id fetched over a feather bed for a resent to Martha?and now says she : " Put it in the wagon, Blucher, and it j ill be a comfortable seat for Martha." So we did it. Martha sat on the bed. I perched up 1 the seat, and away wo drove. Motli Smitli she cried, so did Martha. Father-in-law hurrahed. So did I, j id off we went. For a considerable time T had plenty 1 < do, coaxing Martha to cheer up ; tell- ; g her that she could go home as often j i she liked; and pretending: to scold i ;r, though I -wasn't ungrv, for a girl bo loves her own folks and is a good lughter is sure to be a good wife. Bat after a while she cheered up, and | we rodo along in the gray dawn, just a | ;tle mistier than night, Bhe Baid : "I'm so sleepy that I think I shall j st cuddle down in the feathers and tako It nap. " Do it," said I from my perch. So after a while I spoke to her with- j it turning my head, and she didn't an- i re r. "Sound asleep, poor little chicken," i ought I, and driv on. It was a cloudy sort of morning. We'd j issed through the marsh, and the mos- i litoes buzzed about, but never roused j 0 girl up. We'd come to the woods, I id there you couldn't see your hand j ?fore your face, and still she was sound i leep, [ thought, and I was glad she \ lould have such a good rest. But j lien we'd come to the top of the hill, ; id I could see our little house, I could I >t stand it auy longer. I felt as if I'd i ic to have her take the first peep along ith me." "Martha !" I shouted, turning around j 1 the high seat, " Martha, wake up, ! ssie ! We can see our house from j But there I stopped short, and thought j Rhould die. Martha wasn't there, j either she nor the feather bed was on j .e cart?it was just empty. She'd fallen off somewhere ? but I here ? And what might have happened | her? There were plenty of wild j >asts in the woods then?the smaller ! ud, of course, but not pleasant to meet J and the swajip in parts was deep \ lough to drown in. I couldn't stop to drive back slow and ! reful. I jumped down, leaving old Jed take care of himself, and away I flew i tck into the woods, calling "Martha ! j artha !" and feeling about as I went, ! it nobody answered. I tell you, boys, it was a dreadful hour ! r me; I almost fainted, or got a fit, ' something, before I got through the i jods to the marsh. But there, there I j is stopped, and being so scared, had fide so nervous, that I burst out a j ughing. There, in the midst of the soft mud, j is the featber bed, all smeared and attered, and on it sat Martha, crying, le mud wasn't much over her knees if e'd waded out, but she had her new >ots on and her Sunday go-to-meeting srino, and she couldn't make up her | ind to do it. She was Bafe, but she i is cold, and oh, boys, wasn't she oss! " I'm going back to ma," sobbed she ross the mud. "If you'll cared for me, u could not have lost me off." " Oh, Martha I" said I but she mldu't look at me. I went into the mud and brought her t, and then I went for the wagon and t out poor Grandmother Smith's itlier bed, and then we went home. It isn't a pleasant ending to the wedding, 3an tell you. But after Martha had ied an hour or two she began to get er it, and at last she told me how it all j ppened, as far as she knew. She fell so sound asleep that she ! earned she was at home, and the old I 3y calling her to got up and get break- j st, and said she to herself in her sleep: ! Its very cold this morning," and turn- j . over to feel for the blankets; that j irted the bed and off it slid, and there I lay in the mud, and there she lay on j p of it; and when she waked up she ulil not remember where she was, but ! oaght the roof had blown off the old ! mse or she'd been carried off by the j il boy, until I'd driven too far away to j >ar her. After that she, owned up it was some I ;r fault, and we made up, didn't we, j artha? and stayed so; but that was my i sdding tour. 'Twasn't as fine as Mar- j a's niece's, was it ??Heading Eagle.
