Some one was remarking the other day at the Athenaeum,
on the oddity of Prince Albert having fixed upon a pair of
candlesticks as an appropriate present to make to Mr. Davis,
the huntsman. " Not at all odd," said Theodore Hook ;
"it was done that he might be always ready to assist his
royal highness to a-light."—Argus.

A THICK-HEADED FELLOW.—The Bordeaux papers
relate, that a sailor, on board a merchant vessel in that port,
getting intoxicated the other day, and taking a fancy to
destroy himself, threw himself twice down upon the deck
from one of the masts, a height of fifty feet, with his head
foremost, and without sustaining any injury; but on making
the sad experiment a third time, he broke an arm and two of
his ribs, and received two severe wounds in the head. He
was carried to the hospital at Bordeaux, where, notwith-
standing the gravity of the injuries he has sustained, hopes
are entertained of his recovery.--French paper.
