The late Duke of New York once remar-
ked to Col. w. at the mess of the 11th re.
giment, that the colonel was uncommonly
bald, and although younger man than his
royal highnesss, he stood more in need ol
a wig. The colonel, who had been Of very
long standing in the service, and whose
promotion had been by no means rapid, in.
formed his royal highness, that his badness
could be very easily accounted for. "lr
what mannerf' asked his royal highness
rather eagerly. To which Colonel W. re-
piled, "By junior officers stepping over my
head" The duke was SO pleased with the
reply, thai the gallant colonel obtained pro
motion in few days afterward.

PAINFUL AND MYsTERIoUs.-Itis stated
in the New York Transcript, that gentle
man of that city, Of distinguished standing
as merchant and man ofbuslness attempt
cd to destroy himself late on Saturday eve
ming, by hunging himself to ii clothes peg
in his bedroom. lie was, however, fortu-
nately discovered by one of the domestics
in time to save his life, although pulsation
had nearly ceased, and when cut down it
required the exertions of two of the most
eminent medical practitioners to restore an
inalon. Prior to attempting the suicidal
deed, the unhappy man had written some
letters to his wife, which were found in his
pocket, explanatory to the cause of the rash
act, and declaring it utterly impossible that
he could live under the burden of affection
which depressed his mind. The develop
ments contained in these communications
are said to be of the most astounding char
acter, and they may yet lead to matters
which will require public expose of the
whole circumstances.-Weekly Jlessenger

A LUDIcRoUs INCIDENT, it is related, &C.
Cured not long since, on bridge at Base:
i" An old doctor ofgreat skill in the pro-
Iiesson, and no less originality of character
was going over it, when he was accosted by
a venerable dame, who thought she would
get some advice gratis, and constrained him
to listen to her ailments. He heard hel
with an attentive air, and when she had
done, said to her, "All's right my dear,
see what's the matter: shut your eyes and
show me your tongue" She obeyed, and
the doctor, quietly moving off, left hel
standing there some time in her ridiculous
position, to the infinite amusement of al
who witnessed the scene."

horse mos o,cheioes-which he graphically des-
cribcs as being so numerous as actual

looking ahead through them it was like
pceiing through shower of feathers. He
arrived at last, "through much trlbulation''
at the South Shore, where he found, not a
W hale, but monstrous sea pirate, which
he describes as the bone shark, common
occupant of the South Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, but rather phenomenon in this re-
gion. He had been cast up, dead" says
the Inquirer, "by the waves, and lay wal
lowing in the surf ofthe strand, measuring
twenty five feet in length, and in girtf
about four times the circumference of the

across, and his head was like breadth
This species of shark has no teeth, but like
the right whale, sucks ITS food through q
sort Of bony comb, the teeth or lam,ns, oil
which, in this specimen, were from four tc
eight inches long. The body, partly dis
sected, seemed to be incased in blubber
some 0 to 10 inches thick. The person who
found it had taken out the liver, which alone
will yield three or four barrels of oil-ant
from the whole carcass, TO all appearance
eight or ten barrels may be saved.--Bosto'
