MACHINE FOR SKINNING EELS.--The latest novelty
in the way of invention is P niacbine for skinning eels.

Such a machine has actuallibeen invented and patented
by Adam Emeigh, of Long Island. The Scientific
American says "it has been practically tested, and is

found to perform the work in a manner much, more
expeditious and preferable than when done in the ordi-
nary way,. the flesh not being bruised and discoloured,
as is usualix She case."

Not very long ago the mammoth: elephant "Columbus"
died from injuries received from falling through a bridge

which broke ander him. The owners of the animal

sued the bridge company for damages. The latter
resisted, and Claimed that they were not liable, and that
there was no obligation upon them to maintain roads
and bridges. safe and convenient for the driving of
elephants over them for exhibition; but that if the
plaintiff chose to use their roads and bridges for that
purpose, he did it at his own risk. The court have
decided for the plaintiff.

Two physicians have addressed a communication to
the Plattaburg Express, giving an account of cutting a
leaden bullet from the heart of a man, which bullet
they found after -a post-mortem examination. They
think it had been in the man's heart for fourteen years !
He was accidentally shot in 1842, and their theory is
that this hall remained in the vein where it was lodged
until fourteen years ago, when it passed into a larger
vein, and thence into the heart, and there irritating that
delicate organ by its unnatural presence, caused the
difficulty then for the first time observed. The than
died lately from disease of the heart.
PROGRESS OF BRITISH KAFFRARIA.—An interesting
return of the population of Baffraria (inclusive of the
Transkeian territory) up
:to the 31st December, 1859,
has been published by the Chief Commissioner. It
shows that the native population numbers 58,317 ; Ger-
mans, 2,659 ; other Europeans, 3,236; total, 64,212.
This is exclusive of her Majesty's troops. The 'number .
of native villages is 242, and of huts 11,208. ' The nam-
ber of cattle possessed' by the Europeans is 8,640, and of
sheep 76,146 ; while the natives have 2,440 horses, and
25,148 cattle. The principal occupiers holding land
from the Crown; are classed thus :-294 grantees, of
1,600 acre farms; 1,623 German military settlers; and
384 German immigrants.—Cape and Natal News.
ALEXANDRE DINAS .AT CATANIA.—The greatest •
bustle which the place had witnessed was called forth
by the arrival of Alexandre DUrnas in his yacht, bearing
his dogs, and his birda, and his monkeys, and himself
and his she-admiral (the woman who accompanied tam
on his cruise, dressed in admiral's uniform), his, photo.'
graphers, his secretaries and 'amanuensis i his fieriaats
dressed, some like Circassians, others like Greeks, others
like Spaniardi; others again like Indians. What , a
precious low, to be sure, they did all contrive to make!,
When Alexander the greatest is on board, he does
nothing but 101 l on the deck in his shirt sleeves, and
without any hat, playing with his dogs or chatting with
the sailors of the other vessels, or with the she-admiral.
When he lands, the gallant she-admiral, Amile, always
accompanies him ; and they are constantly driving about
in an open carnage, bowing and gossipping and laugh-
ing with all whom they meet. It's " hail fellow well
met" with the veriest stranger, - and a five-minutes'',
acquaintance ripeni with such marvellous rapidity into
the closest friendship, that the final farewell is taken, at
the- end of the fifth minute, amidst the heartiest shaking
of hands and kissing and hugging. The entrance of the
other Alexander into Babylon was doubtless a very
grand affair,' yet I doubt.' if it caused as great a sensa-
tion as did the arrival of the modern Alexander into
this town of Catania. •
Da. JEBB'S TRITE SARSAPARILLA AND DANDELION PILLS.—
The properties of sarsaparilla and dandelion are truly marvel-
lous, and have hitherto only teen trifled with. Dr. Jebb boldly
asserts that this is the only preparation in which their inesti-
mable value is fully brought out ; by the process a peculiar
property is Obtained which acts upon the skin, forcing out,
through the natural pores, all the noxious particles from the
blood. Thousands of doctors now prescribe them for their
most delicate patients. Dr. Abernethy saps : "In all delicate
constitutions, or 'wherever there is reason to believe the blood
is impure, these pills act like a charm, as a most valuable and
wonderful alterative tonic." Wholesale depot, T. Babb, 2.

Hoia.owtv's Pme.—Unusually hot weather in the summer
months is often productive of unpleasant consequences to
many. The liver, the stomach, and bowels, in such cases, are
More or lees seriously affected, so that the natives of England
are, at certain sea.ions, liable to some of the disorders which
range iu warm climates. People cannot have a more powerful.
curative than Holloway's justly celebrated Pills. They cool
and purify the blood, and render the system less liable to any
. gore of trreehlarity ; or, when disease is present, they abate its
force, moat last totally destroy it. Dysentery, billiousaess,
acidity of stomach, sick headache, and debility soon disappear
before a course of the admirable Pills.
NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW •FOUNTATN Pax.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co. is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it Will
be found to till a want felt by every one up to tide titre. We.
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all wha use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
Among the numerous extraordinary cures without medicine
of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous,
: bilious and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and
debility, effected by Du Idarry's delicious health-reatoring
Revalenta Arabiea Food, the following are not the least
remarkable. Cure No. 47,121, "Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of:
' Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-cross, Herta, a cure of extreme
nervousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and ner-.
vous fancies." Cure No. 48,314, "Miss Elizabeth Yeomaa,
Gateacre, near Liverpool, a cure of ten years' dyspepsia,
and all the horrors of nervous irritability." Cure No,
3,906, "Thirteen years' cough, indigestion, and general;
debility have been removed %by Du Barry's excellent ,teva-s
lenta Arabica Food. Athol-Street. Perth. Jame§ Porter." 141

imitations offered under a variety of false pretences. Nevill's
