zion, dog went daily to the military parade in
'front.' of the Tuilleries, placed himself among
ahe musicians Of the band, with whom he went
through every evolution, and after parade with.
same hour, The pleasure which the animal ey.
identity took in the music Of the band and the
regularity of his attendance. soon excited the
interest Of the men, who frequently gave him
part Of their dinner. He invariably went to
spend the evening either at the French or Itsl-
ian opera, where he entered without ceremony,
took his place in the orchestra, and remained
there till the performance was over. [Nsw, If
the doctrine Of transmigration be true, one might
suppose that the soul Of drum.major, or a

SILK CULTURE.

To the Editor.
A few days since, had the
pleasure to see in she "New England Farm
err" of February 10, the piece taken from
your paper. signed s.An AgricuIturist, }" on
the subject OF the proper temperature in
which silk Worms ought to be kept, and on
other subjects. This paper gave me great
satisfaction, because il viii promote the
cause ofthe Silk culture, which deem high
ly important to the Farmers, and because
the sentiments contained in it, agree with
my own experience
The opinion of Mr. Gideon Smith Of Bal
tjmore, noticed by the writer, that Silk
Worms will thrive in any temperature. G.
ven at that Of eoo. will fear. do mischief.
My own experience is decidedly in favour
Of moderate temperature in all stages Of the
worm; and it agrees with chat of others, who
have attended to then upon large scale.
Even when the worms are Matching, the
heat Of the apartment in which they are
kept, ought not to esweed Bic. and should
commence at $40 ami gradually increas-
ed. The reasons for are given at length

Chess.--The origin of this gams-ifit be law.
fuI to call it gamc--is lost in remote antiquity.
The Philosopher Xerxes, the Grecian Prince
Palamedes, and the brothers Lydo and Tyrrheno,
have each in turn received the homage Of inqui-
rers as the inve1tors others ascribe the honor to
the Egyptians, and others TO the Chinese. In
the first book Of the Odyssey, supposed to be
written a thousand years before the Christian
era, there is game mentioned, which was prob.
ably chess. In China, the game is somewhat
different from ours. A river separates the two
contendng parties, and the King is entrenched
in fort, where only he can move. The manda-
rim (our Bishop) is unable through age to cross
the river; and instead Of Queen there are two
Princes to support his majesty: The only 9TH
er peculiarly is roeket5oy, (stIl used in the In.
dian arInes,) who is stationed between the lines,
and vaults, rocket.like. over intervening obsta-
Giles, till he picks off his man at the other end
Of the board.
