Franks ofa Serpent.

On Saturday last, towards evening, the trav-
elers journeying to Paris by the train from
Havre were greatly terrified by an extraordina-
~ incident The train carried a collection of
wild beasts, which were destined to appear at
the Hippodrome, in the representation of piece
called the Christian Martyr" The animals
we're under the charge of NJ Hebert, a friend of
Gerard, the lion tanner. The collection was ac-
companied by boa constructor, seventeen feet
in length which was intended as a present to
the director of the HippOdrome This serpent
was contained in a box suspended under the van
which held the beasts. Whether the box was
too small or the animal too large, may be doubt
ful but the serpent was dissatisfied, and break
ing one of the sides of its prison, wound its way
up TO the top of the train, and amused itself by
passing from one carriage to another.
When it had promenaded in this manner un-
perceived for nobody knows how long, it an
bounced its presence by thrusting its head up
close 10 the engine driver. To describe the cry
OF terror which the poor man sent up would be
impossible. The train was Immediately stopped,
and NJ. Hebert with two African assistants, took
measures for capturing the reptile, which wound
Nseii about the machinery of the locomotive,
ana Was only detached with much difficulty, and
secured in box stronger than the first. Al
'Hough the serpent had not visited those in the
interior OF the carriages, the passengers by the
UaIh were exceedingly nervous and expressed
Srong dislike to accompany the boa to Paris.

Railroad Smash Up"

The New York correspondent of the Lewis

roads -
" Such men, Qike some railroad Jirectors)
in their recklessness of the limbs and lives of
others, furnish the least possible illustration of
the doctrine of total depravity. On the rail-
ways what numbers of people annually are
manned and slaughtered, simply because the
false economy of the directors will not admit
of their employing only wideawake, conscien-
cious and responsible men as engineers, con-
ductors, gate-keepers, swrch-tenders, &C., &c
One hundred and thirty-nine persons were eth
er killed or injured by railroad accidents in this
State during the past twelve months, and If
they continue as they have begun, they will
have to advertise, (as the California Steamer
agents do with their ships) that &c An erperi-

The Mariners Grave.

Those who have visited the harbor of Sagua
La Grand, have undoubtedly noticed upon the
point which makes the east entrance of the
riser OF that name, a number Of rude graves.
lhese are graves of seamen who have died in
'"e bay, and been buried by their shipmates.
n' the head Of each grave is a piece Of spar,
o'eo'eu as tombstone, upon some Of which
are ruueiy cut the names of the deceased, their
age' ana year of death; bat the most are
known only by those who placed them there.
Here the mariner sleeps, while his requiem is
sung only by the elements and the sbrin shrek

awaits the return of her child, and wonders if
he is still alive, and why he does not return:

his home. Alas How many mothers wait
In vain for the return of their wandering chill.
dren. A French barque belonging to Bor-
deaux, was in Sagua bay, waiting freight,
during the prevalence of the cholera three
years ago, and four of her seamen caught the
epidemic and died. Never will those who
witnessed their burial, two and two, forget the
solemn scene. The vessels in the harbor sent
each boat to follow in mournful silence to
the shore, with their mnfi'ed oars, keeping
stroke with the oars in the boat in which were
the corpses. Many hardy son of Neptuhs
bowed his head, half ashamed of the silent
tears that conrsed down his bronzed cheeks

Intervention.

The Washington Telegraph lately con-
tained communication from which we copy
the following;
= The following preamble and resolution
were adopted by Congress, November 70,
1777: ta...
And whereas the cnuse of the United
States may be greatly endanged, unless such
Of the European po,0erS as regard The rights of
mankind should INTERFERE TO PREVENT the
uD2enerous combination of other powers
against the liberties OF said States:
ReSotred, That the commissioners OF the
United States at The several courts, Of Eu-
rope be directed TO apply to the several courts,
and request their immediate assistance of pre-
Uenting further embarkation of foreign
troops TO America, aud also to urge the ne
cessity of their acknowledging the indepen-
dence of these States =.
kossuth, as the representative of Hun
gary, asks that such Of the Christian Powers
'as regard the rights of mankind should inter
tere 10 prerent the ungenc' Gus combination of
other po,oers against the liberties of that State,
when it shall again attempt 10 establish its
independence. What our Commissioners
were instructed to do, he cannot be blamed
for doing. Their request proceeded on the
assumption that one nation had right 10
determine for itself its own inslirutions-tIlat
any combination of nations against it, was a
violation of the rights of mankind, so flag
rant as TO authorize other nations to interfere
to prevent il. This is the whole doctrine in
sisted upon by Kossuth.

Good morning, Mrs. Eden; isn't this the
loveliest day that ever was in this worldp

in all my life; l would give hundred uorld,
if | could sing like l.
Let me see, what was the name of that
second duet! l thought l should go through
the ceiling during its performance, it was SO
inspiring
Il felt just so, assure you I've forgotten
the name, indeed forgot it last night, and
have been racking my brains to bring it back
erery minute since; if ,cas to die | couldn't

Such we are sorry to say is often the extrav-
agance which ladies manifest in their choice of
terms when engaged in an ordinary conversa-
ton. With them slight cold is horrible
or shocking cough; a mis-step an awful acci-
dent-or like to be-a glass of water with a
speck In 1t, thick as mud white dress with
the merest soil, filthy, dirty They will go
to the bedside of an invalid who may happen
once or twice to give vent to an audible sigh of
pain; they will report him as uttering the most
awful SrodllS lnerc was pallOr on MS
cheeks, and forthwith they say he looks like
a ghost; qu.-how docs ghost look The
nurse tells them her patient slept badly last
night; they tell others the poor thing hasn't
slept for month she informs them that he
is pretty sick, and forthwith they take the
liberty TO say, not expected to live; given

Now while it may be amusing, this volubIe
small talk, from its very absurdity, it is also to
a cultivated mind, extremely mortifying and
1t begets loose habit which must be prejudi-
cial to the great interest of the soul for it is
species of falsehood that strengthens with rep

unconquerable it leads children to be careless
In their conversation, and to regard lie with

WOMEN AND NEwsPAPERs.-The facetious
editor of the Boston Republican is warm in
praise of his lady-subscribers. He says =
Women are The best subscribers in the world
TO newspapers, magazines, etc. We have
been editor now going on for eight years, and
we have never YET lost single dollar by fe-
male subscribers. They seem TO make il
point of Conscientious duty to pay the preach
er and the printer-two classes of The CONS
munity that suffer more by bad pay, and no
pay al all, than all the rest put together.
Whenever we have woman's name on our
book, we know it is just as good for two dol
lars and a-IIalf as picayune is for ginger
cake Moreover, he asserts that ladies read
the newspapers 10 which tn ey subscribe more
thoroughly than men, and concludes by de-
claring that he would rather have dozen
ladies upon his book than one man.

THE CANADIAN OR WILD GoosE-This in
teresting bird, though easily domesticated to
such a degree that it Will breed in its captive
state, yet always, or at least for many genera
tions, possesses something OF the migrating in
stinct inherent in the species. They are fire.
quently restless, and disposed to fly at those
seasons when the wild geese make their semi
annual journeys. They call TO their brethren
which happen to pass within sight or hearing;
and if the tame ones are disabled from flight,
(as is done by amputating one wing at the out
er ioint) the wild ones not unfrequently alght
to reconnoitre. If wild flock is bewildered
by having lost their leader, as is sometimes the
case, they have been known to have been so at
lracted by domesticated ones Of the same sPe-
cies, that they have been easily shot, or even
taken alive. Col. Jaques, who keeps this
bird in collection, near Boston, states that flocks
of wild geese have several times alighted near
his poutry-yard, and although near highway
which is constantly travelled, they have some
times remained for whole day, no molestation
Of them being permitted.

Early Marriages.

from early marriages, which is distinguished
feature of this country. Long before girl

with curly locks, who danced with her at the
last party; and if she received any encourage
ment. she is miserable until Il match is ar
ranged and hasty marriage opens the eyes
of both parties TO the silly step they have Ia
ken. No girl shonld marry under twenty
and it would do them no harm TO remain sin
gle until twenty five, for then the mind is ma.
lured and the constitution formed. A prop

we'll terminate under fifteen or sixteen, and
then her domestic duties should begin. On

A FUNNY THING. Last Saturday, the Sd

running with great speed, to make up lost

the engine-man discovered woman standing

stopping the train. The whistle was imme-

with great exertion the train was brought 10
rest within a few feet of the woman, who
never stirred from the track, or evInced the
slightest fear.

The Liquor Business Of the Uni
ted States.

The census returns show that in 1850, there
were used in the manufacture of ale, whiskey,
rum, alcohol, &C., ii ,O67 ,66l bushels corn,
3,787, ,l95 bushels barley, 2,l43,92 bushels
rye, 56 SIT bushels oats, 500 $40 bushels ap-
pies, 81 ,675 hhds molasses, and 1894 tons of
hops.
The product of this quantity of grain, hops
and molasses, was 40, 1873 ,955 gallons whiskey,
&C.. 6 SOC, 500 gallons rum, &C., and I.177.-
924 bbls ale, &c.
The capital employed in this manufacture is
set down at So 1884 ,254, and the number of
workmen employed at 5,4s7. This is one of
those classes of statistics which could be OBJ
tanned with much accuracy, and no doubt these
returns may be depended upon.
IF we estimate the grain at fifty cents BUSH
Ell, the molasses at $50 hid, and the hops at
$4OO ton, the value of these articles con-
sumed in this manufacture may be estimated at
$s,sl4 200, and if we may suppose the value
Of the rum and whiskey to be 20 cents gal
Ion, and the ale So barrel, we shall find the
value OF the ont-turn of the liquor manufacture
will be about Sl1 1850, ,663.
1t this estimate of the value of the raw mate
rials and the manufactured articles is correct,
and we allow 81 day for the workmen EN-.
ployed in the distilleries and breweries. making
$I,70O,970 for labor, the capital invested in the
liquor manufacture does not pay more than 6
per cent, allowing nothing for depreciation Of
buildings, fixtures, &C., although the principal
portion of the business is carried on in States
where the legal rate of interest is or pei
cent
