John Burroughs, the naturalist, was laughing about the story, widely pub fished not long since, of a wild duct that cot a salt water mussel caught on its tongue, and had intelligence enough* to fly from the salt to the fresh -water,' where it dipped the mussel, sickening it through osmosis, and thus causing it to loosen its firm grip. "I believe that story of the duck that undersmtood the theory of osmosis," said Mr. Burroughs. "I believe it as implicitly as I believe the story of the crippled lion and the young lieutenant. "A young lieutenant, during an African campaign, came one day upon a badly crippled lion. The great brute yrnped over the tawny sand on three paws, holding its fourth paw' in the air. And every now and then, with a kind of groan, it would pause and lick the injured paw plteously. , "When the lion saw the young lieutenant it came slowly toward him. He stood his ground, rifle in hand. But the beast meant no harm. It drew close to him; it rubbed against him with soft feline purrs; it extended burt paw. "The lieutenant examined tbe paw and found that there was a large thorn in it. He extracted the thorn, the lion roaring with pain, and be bound up the wound with bis handkerchief. Then, with every manifestation of relief and gratitude, the auimal withdrew. "But it remembered its benefactor. It was grateful. And in a practical way it rewarded the young man. 'This lion ran over the regiment's list of officers, and ate all who were the lieutenant's superiors in rank. Thus, in a few weeks the young man, thanks to the astute animal, became a colonel."?Philadelphia. Correspondence in Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Stupid Boll. It happened in North Carolina.
