According to some Italian Journals, a.
new organized being has been discovered in
the interior Of Africa, which seems to form
an lntsfmediate link between vegetable and
animal life. This singular production Of
nature has the shape of spotted serpent
II drags itself along on the ground, and, in
stead Of head, has flower shaped like a
bell, which containsa viscous liquid Flies
and other insects, attracted by the smell Of
the juice, enter into the flower where they
are caught by the adhesive matter. The
flower then closes, and remains shut until
the prisoners are bruised and transformed
into chyle. The indigestible portions, such
as the head and wings, are thrown cut by
two spiral openings. The vegetable serpent
has a skin resembling leaves. white and
soft flesh. and. instead Of bony skeleton, .
cartilaginous frame, filed with yellow mar

Sparks ye are artizans Of Earth, from the

with the giant strokes Of Tubal Cain.
Sparks that win transmit their light

and what little creature is there of the in

Mankind is prone TO praise that in others
which they do not themselves practice, but
practising it themselves, they praise not 9th
ers but their own humble selves; and so it
is in regard to labor, they like to see 9TH

do not like to do it themselves, nor even

RETR1BUTIoN. Day before yesterday

cially cultivated the Southern trade, and which
one Of the Simplest worshippers of the divi-

the famous Union Safety COMMITTEE, went by

failure is understood TO be bad one
Nor is this house alone in this retributiye
calamity. Many of the prominent dry goods
establishments which went in for Southern pat
ronage at the time when CastIa Garden was in
all its glory, and when the Union was to be
saved by shooting for the Fugitive Slave Law,
have fallen victims to their patriotism, and have

Meanwhile another large silk house, which
was violently assaulted and made the special OBJ

is in The enjoyment of unimpeachable prosperity
and credit.
Far from us the thought Of recalling such facts
IN order to exut over private misfortune But in
this case the disaster cannot claim TO be private
it is the fruit Of too large share in great public

SATURDAY., FEBRUARY 81, 1861.

Paris correspondent Of the New York Even
ming Post comnni,ates the following Story to that
Journal The gentleman is supposed to be the
somewhat famous Mr. Wykoff.
A young American, whose has figured little
both in New York and Paris, but whose name it
is not worth while to give, has figured himself in
TO sad difficulty at Genoa. The story goes,
that his means were getting to the lees, when he
fell in with an English lady, not by any means
handsome, but with, as the Frenchman said who
told me, beGucoup de TIM OF plenty Of California
mint-drops. He made love to her at once, and
was in fair way of carrying of his prize, but
certain inquiries made, touching his past career,
did not give as much satisfaction. as his personal
address and fine spec hes, and he was dismissed.
But the knight would lot give up the pursuit so
readily, and following the lady about Europe,
from city TO city, until his attentions became a
persecution. AT last, one day, at Genoa, when
the lady had sent for her passport, her valet
brought back word that she must go with him
personally 10 the officer. She thought this strange,
but went. The valet, however, instead Of con-
Quoting to the proper place, led her directly into
the apartments other pretended lover and then re-
tired She was overwhelmed with astonishment
at the audacity of tho proceeding, but the door
was locked, and she could not fly.
The gentleman began by throwing himsel on
his knees, and soliciting her to reIent; but she
spurned his proposals, the more account Of the
disgracefu trick put upon her. He then began
to threaten her, and insisted that he would detain
her all night 10 his room, and SO ruin her charac-
ter, saying at the same time, as he drew a pistol
out of his pocket, that if she attempt to scream.
he would blow her brains out. Terrified almost
to death, the poor woman was obliged to remain
there several hours; but, in the end, gathered
courage and thought, she told him to state dis
nctly what he wanted, and she would comply.
He then demanded that she should continue with
him through the night and mary him tho next
day, or else give him check on her banker for
some large sum- don't know how much.
After hestatlng awhile, she finally appeared to
consent to the fist branch Of the proposal, but
said she must send for her night dress He al
lowed her to write line to her attendant, which
he inspected and sent off by his own valet For
tunately, the girl to whom the note was sent had
sagacity enough to infer that her mistress would
not stay in that way, and there must be some
thing wrong about it, She would not send the
clothes. but, asking the address from the valet,
went Immediately to the police, conducted them
to the place, and, greatly 10 her own and her la
dy's joy liberated the latter, and had the adyen-
turer put in prison. At the last dates he had not
| had his trial for the crime, but the opinion was
that he would be found guilty, and condemned to
the galleys!
