HIBERNIAN ACUTENESS.

When General V was quartered
in small town in Ireland, he and his
lady were regularly besieged, whenever
they got into their carriage, by an old
beggar woman, who kept her post at the
door, assailing them daily with fresh i'm
portunities and fresh tales of distress. At
last, the lady's charity and the generals
patience were nearly exhausted, but their
petitioners wit was still in its pristine
vigour. One morning, at the accustomed
hour, when the lady was getting into her
carriage, the old woman began" Agh'!
my lady, success to your ladyship, and
success to your honour's honour, this
morning Of all days in the year; for sure
didn't l dream last night, that her ladyship
gave me pound of ia, and that your
honour gave me pound of tobacco 2"
"But, my good woman" said the gen.
eral, edo you not know that dreams
always go by the rule of contraries %
"Do they, so phase your honour 7" re-
joined the old woman, then it must be
your honour that will give me the ia, and
her ladyship that will give me the tobac-
COT"
The general, struck with her ready wit,
gave the ingenious dreamer the value of
her dream.

WILD MAN.

NUREMBERG, July 80, 1928. The
attention of our philosophical publick has
been directed for some weeks past, to the
investigation of very extraordinary phe-
nomenon, which, unless the whole be an
imposture, may prove important in the
investigation of mind. About a month
ago there appeared in this city, young
man of about twenty years of age, well
proportioned, and of healthy complex
ion; he seemed, however, to walk with
difficulty, his knees appearing stiff, and
quite unused to mounting steps. He was
poorly dressed, and carried a letter with
him, in which wish was expressed that
he might be enlisted among the cavalry.
His knowledge of the world seemed ex-
tremely limited, and he spoke and under
stood but very few words. From what
has been collected from him, it seems
that he had been shut up in one room,
about six feet high, from his infancy, dur
ing which time he never saw but one hu-
man being-a man who brought him HIS
provisions, and whom he called his father.
He was kept very clean, and had two lit
tie wooden horses to play with but was
beaten with stick whenever he attempt
ed to stand upright. There was window
to the room, from which every prospect
was debarred by pile of wood placed
close before it; and the situation of the
room seems to have been such as to ex-
clude sound as well as sight. From this
confinement he was at last released by his
keeper, who, after foot journey of two
DAYS, brought him to the gates of this city,
where he gave him the letter, and enjoin-
inc him to enter, left him. He has now
learnt many new words and things: the
former of which are easily distinguished,
from his pronouncing them differently from
those of his original stock and for every
one of the latter he can account himself,
by mentioning his respective informants.
He is as creduIous as a child, receiving
overv information with implicit belief; and
II is yery difficult to make him change a
notion or opinion after he has once re-
ceived it, as he seems as yet stranger to
doubt or investigation. The least sound
which strikes his ear unexpected, even
the ticking of clock, creates a slight

CONFUSION In his face and when his
oitactory nerves are affected by the smell
OF flowers, lemons, &c. he points to the
middle Of his forehead, as the place where
ne says he feels pain. In the same
manner he rejects every food but bread
and water, as disagreeable to his unusu-
al palate. His sight alone seems to re-
ceive pleasure from new objects, all his
other senses appearing influenced by the
painful only.
The feeling in his fingers seems to be
acute, and he uses them often to assist
his weak sight. His hearing has improv-
ed, and he is fond of the piano-forte,
which they are teaching him, but he ex-
presses his dislike of singing, which he
calls screaming. His memory is very
good; he repeats the names and titles41o
trifle with Us IN Germany of persoIo as
well as expressions of civility, with uner-
ring correctness, always mentioning the
people from whom he has received every
individual word. But his attention is not
great, except to what he is himself engag-
ed In, where it is quite exclusive. He
uses as yet the verb in the in6nitive mood
only. He seems to have no general idea !;
no trace of any religious notion; no con-
ceptlon of past or future, every thing
being present with him, even the success
ion of light and dark nor does he seem
aware Of right or wrong. He complains
OF the i'll usage he received from his keep
er, only as to the pain it caused him, in
the same manner as he does about the
pain he receives from the perception of
an object new to his senses, or about a
burn, which he received at once touching
fire. He is very compassionate, and ex-
presses his concern even on seeing flow
er pulled to pieces; and he could not be
reconciled to the correctness of pulling
down an old house, which he witnessed,
till he was told that it would be made fine,
as he was made, when they gave him new
clothes for his old ones. Finding it diff
cult to express himself fully with his de-
fciency of language, he is very vehement
in his gestures.-LOndon Weekly Req.

he produced the poor chaise-mender's

with blush, the cruelty of his neglect OF

ANECDOTE.

Professor De Wolf, in one of his recent
Lectures on Chemistry, speaking Of the
pyramids of cotton cloth now piled up in
our streets, contrasted the present state of
manufactures with what they were not
many years ago, when our New-England
fields presented a wide spread sheet of
linen and tow cloth, put out by the indus
trious housewife to whiten, among which
a strip of cotton was not to be found. As
a further illustration of the total ignorance
of the use of cotton that prevailed at that
period, he related an anecdote of an old
lady who, before the revolution, received
as rare present from abroad, parcel of
tea and a bundle of cotton, the use of
which had been carefully specified in la
bells attached to the packages. But
unluckily, the directions for the tea were
attached to the cotton, and those for the
cotton to the tea, so that the good lady
carded the tea and boiled the cotton
The husband maryelled at the taste of
people who could make palatable drink
of cotton, and the dame was equally as
tonished at their ingenuity in making
cloth out of such material as tea.

. Curious FACT. We have before us the
MS account of remarkable fact which
has recently transpired in Buckingham
County. In working the James River Slate
Quarries, a piece of pine bark, eight inches
in length, five inches in width, and three
fourths of an inch thick, was brought out Of
the solid mass of rock The pine was as
perfect and sound as if it had Just been ia
ken from the tree, with the exception of ts
being little scorched, smutted, and with
an ashy appearance on the inside, as if from
Goals or embers, or perhaps occasioned by
the blast of powder. 1t was imbedded in
the rock about eleven feet below its top, and
the rock itself was covered with eight or ten
feet Of solid earth and clay, never probably
disturbed by man before. It has somewhat
OF an antique appearance. The proprietor
attempted to preserve the bed of rock in
which it reposed-but the rock was too hard
and solid to be separated in any other way
than by the explosive force of gunpowder,
in the application of which unfortunately the
bed was entirely shattered and destroyed.

Upwards of 300 barrels of Maple Sugar
have been received at New York, by the
Canal, which has been sold at S cents
pound. The supplies of Sugar from New
Orleans have already increased to such an
amount, that they are rapidly taking the
place of foreign sugar,and it is supposed by
many intelligent persons, that in a very few
years the supplies from New Orleans and
elsewhere, will be sufficient for the con-
sumption, and that no foreign sugar will be-
required.
"The world" says late paper, appears
to be all on wheels, on land or water. The
number of travellers continually visiting
New-York is said to be immense one of the
late steamboats, from Albany bearing 500
passengers. A similar remark will apply
to Boston, whose streets, although she has
no steamers, are thronged with visitors
hourly arriving in the numerous lines of
stages filled inside and out, and in the fleets
OF coasting vessels, whose decks are fire.
quently covered with passengers.
