EccENTRIcITIEs OF MAcAULAy.-A London
writer gives the following description of Macau-
lay the statesman and historian.
There is common pedestrian OF London
streets, we'll known to all who are acquainted
with their notabities He is short, stout, stur-
dy, energetic man. He has a big round face
and large staring and very bright hazel eyes,
His hair is cut short, and his hat flung back on
the crown of his head. His fat is firm and de-
cided, with little touch Of pomposity. lie is
ever provided with an umbrella which he swings
and fourishes, and batters on the pavement with
mighty thumps. He seems generally absorbed
in exciting and impulsive thought, the traces of
which he takes no pains to conceal. His face
works, his lips move and mutter, his eyes CLEAN
and fash Squat as is the figure, and not par
ticulary fine, in the features there is an unmis-
taxable air Of mental power and energy, APP
preaching to grandeur, about the man. He is
evidently under the influence Of the strong ex-
citement of fiery thought. People gaze curious
ly at him, and stop TO stare when he has pass
ed. But he heeds no one-seems indeed to have
utterly forgotten that he is not alone in his pri-
vacy, and pushes energetically on, unwrlting OF
the many who smile, or of those who step re-
spectfully aside, and look with curiosity and re-
gard upon Thomas Darlington Macaulay. Oc-
casionally, however, the historian and the poet
gives still freer vent to the mental impulses
which appear to be continually working within
him. friend Of mine lately recognized him
dining in the coffee room of the Trafalgar Ho-
tel Mt Greenwich--a fashionable whitehall house
which it appears he frequently patronises. He
was alone, as he generally is, and the attention
of more than one Of the company was attracted
by his peculiar muttering and fdgitiness, and
by the mute gestures with which he ever and
anon illustrated his mental dreamings.
All at once--it must have been towards the
climax of the prose or verse which he was work.
ing up in his mind--Maccaulay seized massive
decanter, held it moment suspended in the air
and then dashed it down upon the table with
such hearty goodwill, that the solid crystal flew
about in fragments, while the numerous parties
dining round instinctively started up and stared
at the curious iconocast. Not whit put out,
however, Mr.. Macaulay, who was well known
to the walters, called loudly for his bill to be
made out at the bar, and then pulling with
couple of jerks, his hat and umbrella from the
stand, slapped the one carelessly on his head,
and strobe out tiourishing the other.

1t is not the height to which men are ad-
vanced that makes them giddy; it is the looking
down with contempt upon those beneath.
Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1851-10-01

Insect Although the cock
reaches abounded inconveniently at the Mauri-
thus, it was not without pity that saw them
consigned, as they frequently are, to living
grave by wicked looking insect, much resem-
bling Spanish fly. 1t was impossible to wit
ness his proceedings combined with his glitter
ing green and blue dress, without imagining
the selfish demon of pantomine leading an in
nocent victim to perpetual entombment in some
haunted cavern. Let the cockroach be moving
ever so briskly across the wall, he had no soon
er caught sight of the fatal insect, not quarter of
his size, than all energy leaves him, and he
stands stupidity resigned. The fly then walks
up to him, looks him hard in the face, and pres
emily putting forth some apparatus which stands
him in place of finger and thumb, gently takes
the cockroach by the nose and leads him quiet
ly along for foot or two.
Leaving him there, he commences thorough
examination of the neighborhood, beating the
ground up and down like well trained setter,
and not finding what he wants. returns to the
cockroach and leads him on little further, when
the same process is gone through, sometimes
for hours, till the whole wall has been examin-
ed Chinks there are plenty, but they do not
suit him; he has taken the measure of his vic
TINS bulk and means to lodge him commodious-
ly. Presently suitable hole is found, and the
fly, moving backward, gently pulls the cock
roach after him into his last home. What hor-
rors are perpetrated in this dark recess cannot
be more than surmised. The object is undou't-
eddy to engage him as n wet nurse. No doubt
the poor cockroach is bored in some part not
vital, and eggs laid in him; purpose, indeed,
for which his succulent motherly frame seems
peculiarly adapted.
And not improbably, during this vicarous in
cubation, he is supplied with food, until the
young of whom he is pregnant, being Matched,
commence, in return for his services, "to gnaw
his bowels for their repast." 1t is in vain that
during the scene described you urge the cock
roach to seek safety in fight. The poke of a
stick is disregarded he seems deaf to all hints ;
nay, move him to another part of the wall, he
awaits there with the same stolid Indifference
the return Of his tormentor. Probably sly
thrust is given him in the first meeting of noses
or some "leprous distilment" dropped in his
ear for he has entirely the air of being hocus-
sed. Voyage to the Mauritius
