The departure of the Keno for his continental

ters of seemingly vital importance. are elevated to
the digs, ity of political principles: hot a these vim-
coaistinces change, the priaipke give roast to
others, and after the [lime of a few years one almost
smiles to luck hick at the vehemence with which
points of such little magnitude wese asserted and
combated. The counts), party in the reign Of
GIORGE 11. dreaded the growing affection of a
German Prince for his native dominions, and the
readiness with which his Miuinters lent themselves
to the indulgence of his favourite passion, excited
an apprehension that more was intended with re-
spect to the establishment of the Kinn's continued
residence on the Continent, than ever, we believe,
was contemplated by Gammas or any of his cour-
tiers. His visits, indeed. were frequent and expels-
sire. and he seemed on many occasions to miss so
anniously the first favourable moment after the

him injurious to his own honour, and to the dignity
and interests of the empire in general. The motion

OXFOItD ANECDOTES.

Jacob Bohart was a German liortieultoriat, and Cattle ha
England about the middle of the see enteentii eider,- H•
was appointed first superintended of the Physic Garden
in Oxford, femoded in 1632, by Neely Earl of Dsnby.
The Catalogue of Plants to the Physec Garden, published
to 1848, was &sou up by J. Bober; and a a favourable
pen if of hie zeal and diligence. Thls Catalogs* was re_
published iu 1638, i_onsiderably improved, and eelarlvd
to root, than double its bulk , Hobart b -leg mewled
in the work, ad he acknowledges, by Dr. Philip Steven.
and William Brown, 31 A. A plant in honour of Hu-
bert i. called ;Bobarlfa, • genus formed by Lionod, ail I
said to grow in the East Indies. Under the ears of Hubei t
and that of his soil, the garden continued to Awurish ninny
year.. 0:t1 Jacob died in the garden-house, February 4th,
1679, aged 80, and was buried iu the church yard of St.
Peter in the East, where there is& monument to his memory
against the wall of the church. 011 rejoicing days he used
to have his remit-able heard tagged with silver. He left
two soils, Jacob and Tilleman, who were both employed
in the Physic Garden. Jacob, who was * man of knee-
ing, published the second volume of " Morison's Oxford
History of Plants," in 1699. An aueedote is told of
hint, which implies somewhat of a humorous :lisposi-
lion. He found • large dead rat in the garden, and trans-
fin med it by art into the shape of a dragon, as represented io
old and curious books of Helena History, particularly
Aldroviindus. This was Atom to various leaned men, all
of whom believed it to be • genuine and Invaluable speci-
men of the draguii. Many fine cultics averse, were written
by the literati in honour of Hobart and his Matchless disco-
very, and persons Arcked from all pasts to see it. Holiest
wantd the cheat some years after, bet it was fur a long
time prescoved as a roaster piece of art. There is se inge-
nious paper by this writer in the Philosophical Transac-
tions fur the year 1883, on the effects of the great keels
which happentd the preceding winter, on trees and
oilier plait's. Many oak, elm, ails, walnut, and other
trees were found, he oils, with large relate or clefts M.
different peas of their ttunks, in the large branches, and
iu such parts of their roots as were not sunk deep into
the earth. Pails, lie adds, that were MI knotted, that
they could not have been split but with great difficulty with
beetles and wedges, were trot asunder by the force of the
ice contained within them, making, at the time of bursting,
a noise like the explosion of gunpowder. It is supposed
that the trees which suffered were diseased, that some of the
vessels were dibtrisoled ut burst, and that the affect was pro-
duced by the freezing of the sap or other juices coutaiued in
these carittes.—(Orford Herald.)
