TilE 1100 K AND THE STARLING.—That the
Rook is the benefactor of mankind is now pretty generally
known, and to the rook must b!... added the starling. The
great usefulness of this bird is well known in some quarters,
and the husbandman is not wise who permits rooks and star-
lings to be wantonly killed. We are under very great obliga-
tions to both these kinds of birds; and though the rook may
sometimes take a few grains of corn, and the starling occa-
sionally
invite himself to a little fruit, yet their public ser-
vices, in freeing the ground from vermin, title!' would, in
spite of the efforts of man, go on increasing in numbers, till
famine would be the result, do entitle these pretty creatures
to the kindest treatment Let the former content himself
with employing;
children to frighten away their friends when
the seed is newly sown, or when the crop is approaching to
maw-4y, but let the lives of the rook and starling be reli-
giously spared.
Three days ago N. Pillot,
a printseller, whose dwel-
ling
rl'nrestsagainst one of the chapels at the eastern end of St.
Svein; inthe Rue St. .lacques, had dined in a small back
e
room, and returned into his.shop, leaving in it his child, and the
servant in an adjoining kitchen. Not many minutes had
elapsed when a tremendous crash was heard, and in a moment
he room was filled with blocks of stone, which had fallen from
the gable end of the chapel, and penetrated the roof. The
father rushed in, expecting to find the child and the woman
crushed to death, but to his utter astonishment both were safe.
The servant was protected by the roof of the kitchen having
resisted the falling mass, and the child was placed between two
of the stones with no other injury than a slight scratch on the
face. Had the meal lasted but three minutes longer, five per-
sons would have been destroyed, since the table at which they
had been seated was crushed to atoms.
130NAPARTE.—We (Literary Gazelle) copy the
following from the Ceylon Chronicle. We do not recollect
having heard the story before, and yet the editor of that excel-
lent journal vouches for its truth :—" The genuineness of the
following statement may be depended upon. Sergeant Abra-
ham Millington's Memorandum concerning the demise of Gen.
Bonaparte :--On Sunday the 6th of May, 1821, I was sent
for, while attending divine service, to make a tin coffin for
General Napoleon Bonaparte. On Monday, the 7th, I was
ordered to attend at Longwood-house for the purpose of
soldering up the body of General Bonaparte, in the tin
coffin, which was performed in the following manner, in
presence of Generals Bertrand and Monthelon, Madame
Bertrand, the French Chaplain, the French surgeon, Mr.
A. Darling, Dr. Rushop, his Majesty's 20th Regiment of
Foot, several of the French domnstics, and Samuel Ley,
private in the 20th Regiment. The body of the late General
Napoleon Bonaparte, in full dress, was deposited in a tin
coffin, which was lined with white silk and cotton. His
cocked hat was laid accross his thighs, and on the left breast
of his coat was a gold star and cross, and several other medals
of the same metal ; several pieces of coin of various sizes and
different value were also put into the coffin. His heart was
deposited in a silver urn or tureen, filled with spirits, to which
I soldered a lid or cover of the same material, which was
placed between the small parts of his lags. His stomach was
deposited in a silver mug, in which there were spirits, which
was also put in the coffin. A silver plate, knife, fork, and
spoon, and a silver service cup, were also deposited in the cof-
fin. Previously to placing the body of the General in the cof-
fin, the tin lid of the coffin being lined with white silk and
stuffed with cotton, it was put in its place, and I soldered it on
:he coffin, enclosing the late General Napoleon Bonaparte,
and all the above mentioned articles. This tin coffin with its
contents, was then enclosed in a mahogany coffin, a-d they
were enclosed in a lid coffin, and all were afterwards enclosed
in a Mahogany coffin, which made in all four coffins.—ABRA-
HAM MiutsoToN, Sergeant St. Helena Artillery."
PROSELYTISM —Some disgraceful facts have come
to our ears as to'the exertions of a certain clergyman to prose-
lytize the orphan children of a person named Hendirken. We
;hall make further inquiry into the matter, and expose it, should
it be persevered in, to the execration of the public.— Water-
ford Chronicle.
