HIPPOCRATES, JR.

A few weeks ago, as the workmen of
Messrs. Fletcher, brush manufacturers,
OF stockport, we're cutting up large
sycamore tree at their mandatory near
Chesterfield, the sawyers in the act of
dlssecting the bole of the tree into plank,
heard a piercing shrek proceed from
the middle of the tree, and on opening
the timber, found in the most central
part of it, an enormous fine toad of beau
titul colour, and full of life. On exam
lining the timber, it was found perfectly
sound above and below the secret resi-
dence of this inmate. The track il &C.
cupied was about so inches long, and
from 3 70 A inches wide, and it appear
ed to have enjoyed the extent of its
confines the part being cased with a
dark barky substance, and in some
places quite smooth. The saving in
strument had penetrated its residence
and put its life in jeopardy at the time
it pleaded for mercy. What effect the
atmospheric air had upon it was not OBJ
served, for on its liberation it immedi-
ately disappeared amongst the rubbish.
This part of the tree was of very large
dimensions, and no connection whatever
appeared 10 exist with either root or
branches; little discolouring might be
traced, which is not uncommon in this
description Of timber, but each extrem-
ity was perfectly sound and closed.

EFFECTS OF OLIVE OIL.

In the kingdom Of Tunis, the people
usually employed as Coolies, or porters,
are in general natives of Gereed, or the
country of dates, about 800 miles from
the sea-coast. Their dress is in gener-
al wide woollen coat,its natural colour,
with short wide sleeves over, wrapping
round the body, and tied round the waist,
with band; they never wear shirt,
and seldom have either trousers, shoes,
or stockings; they have always scar
let woollen cap on the head, and some
times coarse white turban. Those
coolies who are employed in the oil
stores, seldom eat any thing but bread
and oil. They smear themselves all
over with oil, and their coat is always
well soaked with it. Though the plague
frequently RACES in Tunis, in the most
frightful manner, destroying many thou
sands of the inhabitants, yet there never
was known an instance of any of these
coolies who work in the oil stores, ever
being in the least affected by it. Ia the
summerit is customary for them to sleep
in the streets, upon the bare ground; we
have frequently seen in the night, scor.
pions and other venomous reptiles, run
ming about them in great numbers, yet
we never heard of single instance.
where the coolies we're ever injured by
them nor do the musquetoes, which
are very troublesome to other people
in hot climates, ever modest them, tho;
their face, hands, and arms, from Their
elbows are exposed, as also their leg:
and feet. Any other people being SC
much exposed, would be nearly destroy.
ed by the musquetoes. In Tunis, whe1
any person is stung by scorpion, or BIZ
by any other venemous reptile, they
Immediately scarity the part with q
knife, and rub in olive oil as quick a:
possible, which arrests the progress o.
the venom. If oil is not applied in few
minutes, death is inevitable, particular
/ ly from the sting of a scorpion. Those
in the kingdom Of Tunis are the mos
venemous In the world.

army, notwithstanding his deep req
hair, whicllsthen. as now, was rather
in disrepute. His forehead was fine,
tho receding--bis eye clear hazel
bis mouth and chin delicateiy form
ed, and exhibiting beauty rather than
strength. The expression OF his
.conntcnaace was strongly indicative
of tue generous and gallant spirit
which animated him, mingling with
sometIiing,of the pride of conscious
manliness. His mein was noble
his manners frank aud amiable, and
his movements light and graceful.
He Wore his hair plain, and never,
complied SO Far with the fashion OF
the times as to powder.
Col. Morgan was stout and active
mot tho much encountered with
flesh, and exactly fitted for the tolls
and pomp of war. The features Of
his face were strong and manly, and
his brow thoughtful. His manners
plain and decorous, neither insinnat.
ing nor repulsive. His conversation
grave, sententious, and considerable,
tunadorned and uncaptivating.
Col. Hamilton is thus described
by MIR. Delaplaine: "Althoush in
person below the middle stature, and
somewhat deficient in elegance, Ha-
milton possessed very striking and
manly appearance. BY the most
superficial observer he never could
be regarded as common individual.
HIS head, which was large, was form
ed on the finest model, resembling
somewhat the Grecian antique. His
forehead was spacious and elevated
his nose projecting, but incIining to
the aquiline-his eyes grey--keen at
all times, and when animated by de-
bate, intolerabfy piercing-and his
mouth and chin well proporiioned
and handsome. These two latter, al
though his strongest, were his most
pleasing features; yet the form OF his
mouth was expressive Of eloquence,
more especially of persuasion. He
was remarkable for deep depres-
sion between his nose aad forehead,
and a contraction of his brows,
which gave to the upper part Of his
c0untenance al air of sternness. The
lower part was Ali emblem of mild
ness and benignity."
Major Lee, one Of the most yigi.
liant and active partisan officers in
the American army, was short in
stature, and Of slight make-but "a
gile and active, His face was small
and freckled--his look eager and
sprightly. He was then quite yonng,
and his appearance was even more
youthful than his years.
DR.. JOHNSON'S DILEMMA.
When ID. Samuel Johnson Iodg-
ed at Kettle Hall, in the university
of Oxford, at Mr.. Thompson's,
cabinet maker, the maid, by an un-
fortunate mistake, one day brought
him a chemise of Mrs. Thompson's
to put on, instead of his own shirt.
The doctor, contemplating Oh no.
thing but ramblers, and oilers, and
colossal dictionaries, showed his arms,
head and shoulders, into the lady's
linen, before he discovered his error.
s'Who has cut off the sleeves of my
shirt % exclaimed the enraged and
hampered noralist. with Stentorian
MISUNDERSTANDING aud tugging,
and roaring for freedom. This roar
brought up poor Mrs. Thompson,
who, with the most c0nsummate de-
iicacy, shutting her two chaste eyes,
slipped her hand in the room, and
delivered her giant guest from his
enchanted castle.
