TWO-HORNED RHINOCEROS. 
In describing it's excessive thirst — No 
country," says our traveller, " but that of the 
Shangalla, which he possesses, deluged with 
six months rain, and full of large and deep 
basons, made in the living rock, and shaded 
by dark woods from evaporation, or watered 
by large and deep rivers, which never fall low 
or to a state of dryness, can supply the vast 
di'aughts of this monstrous creature!" 
It's flight from wood to wood, is not less 
marvellously described — *' The trees that are 
frush, or dry," says Mr. Bruce, " are broke 
down, like as with a cannon shot, and fall behind 
him, and on his side, in all directions. Others, 
that are more pliable, greener, or fuller of sap, 
are bent back by his weight and the velocity of 
his motions ; and, after he has passed, restoring 
themselves, like a green branch, to their natu- 
'ral position, they sweep the incautious pursuer 
and his Horse from the ground, and dash them 
in pieces against the surrounding trees !" 
We leave our readers to make their own 
comment.
