A BULL IN A QUANDARY.—A valuable bull, be-
longing to the celebrated Warlaby herd, and said to be
worth £l,OOO, was despatched by rail the other day from
Catterick, in Yorkshire, to a farm in Northumberland.
The necessary license was obtained, but the station-master
at Catterick would not book the bull farther than New-
castle. It was, therefore, necessary to obtain a fresh
license at that place, and as no farmers could be found
who had a 28 days' knowledge of the beast, it can neither
go north nor south, but is kept in the truck at the New-
castle Station.

INEXHAUSTIBLE IVORY.—New Siberia ark the
Isle of Lackon are, for the most part, only an
agglomeration of sand, ice, and elephants' teeth. At every
tempest the sea casts ashore fresh heaps of mammoths
tusks, and the inhabitants are able to drive a profitable
trade in the fossil ivory thrown up by the waves. Dur-
ing summer innumerable fishermen's barks direct their
course to this isle of bones; and in winter immense car-u
vans take the same route, all the convoys drawn by dogs,
returning charged with the tusks of the mammoth, weigh-
ing each from 150 to 200 pounds. The fossil ivory thus
obtained from the frozen north is imported into China and
Europe, where it is employed for the same purposes as
ordinary ivory—which is furnished, as wo know, by the
elephant and hippopotamus of Africa and Asia. The isle
of bones has served as a quarry of this valuable material
for export to China for 500 years ; and ithas been exported
to Europe for upwards of 100. But the supply from these
strange mines remains undiminished. What a number of
accumulated generationS does not this profusion of bones
and tusks imply.—. Dickens's " Air the Year Round."
