pels BANK is formed to supply an . addition to the money circultaion of this Is- Jund, the want of which has for some time been | sensibly felt. It is the natural consequence of an | increasing population, au expanding Commerce, and | of the enlarged production of an industrious and }energetic people. Tucredible as it inay seem, until the year 1855, there never was a Bank established | in this Island; in that year, under the pressure of ‘a similar necessity, the Bank of Prince Edward Island was called into existence; and while it has facilitated the trade and commercial business gene- rally, it has largely contributed to the develope- | ment of the resources of the Country, and its results | are supposed to have been satisfactory to the Share- | holders, having for some years past paid them an annual dividend of ten per cent.

The increase in the population since the year | 1855, the large addition to our trade and commerce, | the increasing Revenne, the breadth of arable land jeleared aud cultivated, the growing increase of | farming stock, the augmented export of grain and | agricultural produce of all kinds, have rendered | further Banking operations in this Islaud absolutely | necessary. , | It appearsfrom the census of 1860, and from other | authentic sources, that in the preceding five years | the increase in the population of this Island was |9 361 persons; increase of breadth of land under cultivation 45,000 acres; increase in the quantity of | roots and cereals exported 842,000 bush.

dangerous disposition to leave my cork leg and settle on the more valuable one of flesh. I therefore, for the moment, abandoned the attempt, and resigned myself to death; for it seemej certain that when the beast had finished the cork leg, and began to taste my blood, he would turn round and devour me.

‘I was sufficiently cool, even in this horrible emergency, to cast my eyes round to see if I was wounded. I found no wound, but discovered that the tiger had, in seizing me, torn off, and probably devoured the tenth and eleventh pockets of my shooting-jacket. I listened for the beaters, but could hear no voice or sound, They had either gone so far off that they were out of hearing, or, what was more likely, they had been alarmed by the tiger, and had fled. For they're poor creatures, the niggers, in any real danger.

* I now, therefore, gave myself up as lost; the tiger was still gnawing my cork knee, and bid one paw lying as heavy as lead on my other leg, when suddenly, if you'll believe me, sir, the beast yawned twice, nodded his head, and feil fast asleep.

MAJOR MONSOON’S TIGER STORY.

—

‘Thank you, [ think I'll take another

brand, but not quite the sort | keep for my own smoking—and pass the brandy; thank you—your brandy’s good braydy, but not very good brandy. One can’t expect it at the sea-side.’ .

The major took another cheroot from the frail but odorous dark cedar-box, bound with red, and he also condescendingly fi‘led him- self a peculiarly stiff third tumbler of brandy- and-water. { say brandy-and-water, but the expression is scarcely correct, for, as he told me, ever since a fit of hydrophobia at Kollywallab, up at the foot of the Hill Country, be bad a strong disiike to water, and a grateful recollection of the brandy which had preserved his valuable life.

The major was a full-habited, middle- sized, middle-aged man, with a bruised flat- tish red face, rather staring blue eyes, with a noisy, good-bumored, impudent manner that nothing could daunt. He wore a straw hat and blue band, an immense gilt double eye-glass, tied with a broad black ribbon, a loose light suit of a pale nankeen colour, very small dancing shoes, and carried a large silver-mounted Penang ‘lawyer.’ I scarcely know how [ picked up the gallant officer, but on the eighth day of my stay in Ramsgate [ had got so tired of shrimps, raffles, bathing, using a telescope, and slop- ping about on weedy rocks, that I had begun to lock out for a companion on the Kapla- nade seats. But he whom I looked for in vain there, met me, unsought, in the billiard- rooms oo the cliff. At that genteel estab- lishment, I found the major laughing, talking, telling stories,executing unparalleled cannons, betting condescendingly with very juvenile boatiog-men, and drinking brandy. pawnee at some young amateur con:modore’s expense, with a manner as totally free from

the officer and the traveller. The major was one of those indescribable men who can be seen any day between four

promised to do what I could, if they would supply beaters, and would be ready at the jungle next day with their usual heathenish and unsportsmanlike paraphernalia of ative drums, be!ls, horns, and metal pans with stones in them. Off they went throwing somersaults, and shouting like children, calling me every blessed name they could lay their hands on, and promising to muster in force at the place appointed, though they were half of them tiger worshippers, at Moonje, and would not have let me kill the anima! if he hadn't turned a * man-ester.’

* Back 1 weut to T'wentyman, who was sitting up ia bed, more cheerful, eating some fruit.’

‘* What's the row?’ said he, quite io his old voice.

‘[ told him that the people of Moonje, wanted me to go and kill a * man-eater,’ but [ didn’t like leaving him.

‘Then you go, old boy,’ said he, ‘ for Dr. Johnson came in just as you left, snd says l’m twice the man IL was yesterday; L’ll get along well enough with a book and a cheroot or two.’

‘+ And may I take yoar double-bar- relled breech-loader ?

* «Of course ; anything I have, Monsoon. Johnson says Moonje has been full of tigers ever since the last Kajah took to preserving them, and made it death to kill one; but,

_cheroot, old fellow — they’re a Grst-rate | for God's sake, Monsoon, take care of your-

self! Those man-eaters are no joke, and if I were you I would ride to Poonabjab aad et Simpson and Dever to go.’

** No,’ said I, *Twentyman. This is an affair of danger; I'll stalk the beast alone. There stall be no Eoglishman bat myself to share the glory.’

‘© You are a plucky fellow, Monsoon,’ said Twentyman. ‘As you like, but, for my own part, ['d rather have ove English- man than a thousand of those noisy devils, with their infernal drams and _ horns. They’d spoil an angel's shooting.’

‘ The rest of that day I spent preparing for the tiger campaign at Moonje. I put on my red-brown shooting coat, made of stuff of that peculiar dry leaf colour usually worn by Indian ciger-hunters, and which | |was the first to introduce into the Presi- dency. The plan of this coat was my own invention; it had fourteen pockets, each destined for a special purpose, and never used for any other. It held caps, gun picker, tiger’s fat for greasing locks, spare nipples, gun-screw, a small boot-jack, ‘the use of which I will tell you presently), a kuife with sixteen blades, greased patches, iron bullets, cartridges, a pocket-revolver, a brandy flask, a hunting-knite as strong as a bill-hook, a dried tongue, a cigar-case, a powder-horn, fuses, a sketch-book, a small key-bugle, a camp-stool, and a few other items useful to a man of several resources.

* As this white tiger [ was to fight had escaped the native pitfalls, poison, spring- guns, and other stratagems of the crafty na- tives of the jungle villiage, I felt that at last L bad met a foeman worthy of my arm, and [ prepared for a gigantic effort. I filled Ramchunder’s bowdah with tulwahs (k<cen

pride as it was radiant with the urbanity of native swords.) double-barrelled guns, rock-

ets, and boar-spears; so that, keeping that sagacious anima! near me fastened to a tree,

them aod come and kill the white tiger. 1

whisk, as the natives say—which meaus very geatly.

* L suppose [ had not gone more than three jhundred yards from where I left the khan- 'samah and Ramchunder, beiore a path to the right, trodden down as if by wild oars, through a tract of tall, dry, dusiy jungle grass, burnt by the sun to a pale straw colour, attracted my attention. The beaters seemed to rouse nothing, and I began to think the story of the white tiger all a humbug and a flem.

‘The path led on past a little tope of cocoa-nut palta, strung with fruit. Curiosity and a natural love of adventure carrying me on, I followed it for seme hundred yards, till I saw the path a few yards before me open out into a sort of natural amphi- theatre, beyond which lay the dry bed of a small water-course, the surface of which, if you’ll believe me, sir, was one vast tangle of evormous jungle flowers—great crimson fellows, as big as teacups, and smelling of musk, and patchouli; ropes of creeping plants binding tree to tree, and strung with ecented yellow blossoms and trails of things like tulips, only as large as my hat, and with purple bell flowers every half inch down the stalk,

‘In a small open space surrounded by deep, Moonje grass, and only visible from the higher clamp of ground where they sunned themselves, strutted half a dozen peacocks. I bad just knelt down and covered the biggest of them with my rifle— a splendid fellow, with a great fan-tail, all green and purple—when lo, and behold! what should come skipping from tree to tree but a whole tribe of monkeys, chattering, chasing each other, holding each other's tails, and cutting such capers, that it was all L could do to keep from laughing out and and spoiling the whole game.

* I had searcely readjusted my aim which these monkeys had thrown out, before, from out of the jungle, close to me, ran three little spotted deer and a wild bog, and began racing about as if that spot was their regular playground, and yet with a sort of faseinated stare and alarm that made me suspect mischief.
