Ice in the South.

A gentleman who had been in the ice

The servan, took it home, and inquired Of
the cook how it was to be prepared. AZ
ter considerable discussion in the kitchen
cabinet, it was decided to have i. boiled.
At dinner the gentleman called for it, and
was in high glee, for he had drank iced
Champagne in the States, and he felt a
mighty hankering for second trial of the
same beverage. Soon Sambo made his
appearance, with eyes rolling on the out
side and grlnnin9 like frightened mon

THE FIRST PRINTED BooK.-Il is a re.
markable and most interesting fact that
the very first use to which the discovery
of printing was applied. was the produc-
ton of the Holy Bible. This was ac-
complished at Mentz between the years
1850 and 1855. OF the first printed BIZ
es,eighteen are known TO be in existence,
four of which are printed on velum. Two
of these are in England. one being in the
GrcenviIe collection. One is in the Royal
Library of Paris. OF the fourteen re.
naming copies, ten are IN England. there
being copies in the Libraries Of Oxford,
Edinburgh and London, and seven in the
collections Of different poblemen. The
vellum copy has been sold as high as
$1,000.

SEAT FOR PREVENTING SLEEP IN CHURCH.
Es.-Perhaps the most curious thing about
ST. Phillips Chapal, Winchester, are an
cient stall seats now affixed TO the wall of
the ante chapel. These have their seats so
affixed upon hinges, that those who sill in
them can only maintain their position by
balancing themselves with care, and resting
their elbows on the seat arms, so that If the
monks who used them dropped asleep during
divine service, the seats came forward and
pitched them headlong on the floor; nav,
If they only doZed, and nodded the least in
The world, the hard oaken seat capped
against the old oaken back, and make a
noise loud enough 10 attract the attention of
the whole audience. Nothing was ever
more ceverly conlrived to keep people
awake at church.

The Hydra.

This singular animal was discovered by
Trembly in aquatic plants. 1t consists of
a feshy tube, open at both ends, the lar
gest of which is furnished with row Of
six or eight tentacula, or arm-like appen-
dages. These tentacula are hollow fila
ments, and can be extended to a great
length, and bent in every direction. With
these the hydra seizes upon small objects
and conveys them 10 its mouth, where
they are quickly swallowed. When irrl-
tated or alarmed, the animal has the sin
gnlar power Of contracting itself into a
small and almost invisible globe. In order
to move, it fixes its foot, no doubt by tie
power of suction, and advances lis head
as far as possible. The foot being then
detached, it is brought near the head,
which is again raised and advanced as
before. A days journey in this manner,
in summer, is no more than about seven
or eight inches: but when the hydra is
in hurry, it advances by series ofsom-
ersets, foot over head, and head over foot.
This curious animal is reproduced by tn
bercles or buds on the surface of the pa
rents. In this period of its existence it
grows and stretches out its teHtacula,
learning, atthe same time, the art ofcatch-
ing and swallowing its prey. Gradually
the tube connecting it TO its parent closes,
when the young hydra commences sep
arate existence. The hydra can likewise
be multiplied indefinitely by cutting it in
to pieces. If cut asunder crosswise. the
part containing the head supplies itself
with new tail, and the tail sends forth
new head, with new set Of tentacula.
A mutilated tentaculum is in Ike manner
soon repaired and if the entire animal is
divided into numerous pieces, each frag-
ment soon acquires all the parts necessa-
ry 10 make it a complete hydra.-Ar-

would as soon think Of separating from

tertained, in these days, by fools only.
