The PEAooCK. K.-Since the introduction Of
peacOCks into Independence Square, much in.
quiry has been made respecting its history and
habits. Goldsmith says that peacOcks were
first introduced into England from the East In.
dies, and it is asserted that vast flocks are still
found in wild state in the islands of Java and
Ceylon. So beautiful bird he adds and one es-
teemed such delicacy at the table Of the lu1uri.
Gus, could not be permitted to continue long at
liberty in its distant retreats, So early as the days
of Solomon, we find in his navies, among the ar.
ticles imported from the East, apes and peacocks.
Elan relates that they were brought into Greece
from some barbarious country, and were held in
such high esteem that male and female were
valued at thirty pounds, English money. VIC
are told that when Alexander was in India, he
found them flying wild, in vast numbers, on
the banks Of the river Hyarotis and was SC
struck with their beauty, that he laid a severe
fine and punishment on all who should kill OF
disturb them. Nor are nc to be surprised al
it, as the Greeks were so much struck with The
beauty Of this bird, when first brought among
them, that every person paid a fixed price fol-
seeing it, and several people came from Lace
damon and Thessaly purely to satisfy their Gu
riosity.
Like other birds of poultry the peacock feed
on corn, though its chief prediction is fo
barley. But as it is very proud and ficklr
bird there scarcely any food that it will moi
at times covet and pursue. Insects and tender
plants are often eagerly sought at time that
it has a suffiCency fOrits natural food provided
more nearly. The pea-hen seldom laws above
five or six eggs in this climate before she sits.
Aristotle describes her as laying twelve in her
native cline. She may be thus prolific, for it
is certain that in the forests where they breed
naturally they are numerous beyond expression.
This bird lives about twenty years, and not un.
til It's third year has it that beautiful and va
riegated plumage that adOrns its tail. In the
Kingdom Of Cambaya, says Tavener, near the
city of Barock, whole flocks of them are seen in
the fields. They are shy, however, and it is
impossible to come near them. They perch at
night upon trees, and the fowler often approach
es them at that season with kind Of banner
on which peacock is painted to the life on
either side. A lighted torch is fixed on the top
of this decoy and the peacock when disturbed
/ flies to what it takes for another, and 10 then
caught in moose prepared for that purpose
/ There are varieties Of this bird, some Of which
are white, others crested; that which is called
the Peacock Of Thibet is the most beautiful o.
the feathered creation, containing in its plum
age all the most varied collars, red, blue yellow
and green, dispersed in almost artificial order
as if merely to please the eye Of the behOl
der.

M the convenience economy, and general utility
~ of Water Cooler, the undersigned would refer
the public to the thousands throughout the West and
SOUTH who have used them during the last four
years
of the decided luxury of drink of pure ice water
during the excessive hot weather of the summer
months, II is deemed unnecessary TO call attention.
Every one understands that to be very desirable.
II IS well known to every one who has used them,
that from two to ten pounds of ice will keep many
gallons OF water as cold as ice itself at least twelve
hours.
They not only combine convenience with eoonnmy,
9nt are beautiful ornament to the saloon, the ParlO,
dining room, and office.
Experience has established the fact beyond doubt,
that the best and only way to filter and cleanse
the waters of the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri
tVes Is 10 put tue water to be used in lar suited to
the purpose, and put ice with ii. The action of the
ice upon the water, causes the sediment and other
offensive matter to settle to the bottom of the
Hence 1t becomes important to know what kind of a
jar is best adapted TO the preservation Of ice, and IT
is quite reasonable to suppose that an article made
from two Well-known nOn.conductOTs of heat, viz
zinc and charcoal, will accomplish that object.
WinchelPs O5tag0n Water Cooler is composed NJ
the above named materials.
ltis now about four years since Water Coolers were
nSt inod9ced' and the Manufacturer takes pleasure
in saying that no article got up by him has given
such universal and undivided satisfaction to those
who have used them.
His experience in manufacturing them, together
with his general knowledge Of the Japanned Ware
business enables him to get up handsOmer and more
substantial article and al much less pgiees than any
other establishment in the West
These Coolers can be seen In operation on most o,
the steamers the western and southern rivers and
at my Japanned Ware Manufaotory where they are
for sale at Wholesale and retail.

ton of Mills equestrian statue of Gen. jackson
upon its pedestal in the fine square opposite the
executive mansion at Washington.
The statue will be one of the most remarkable
in the world, and not exceled in artistic skill OF
imposing appearance by that of Peter the Great
iu St Pertersburgh. or Of Napoleon in Paris. II
is constructed mostly from cannon captured by
Gen jackson in his wars. The great art by which
the rampant attitude Of the horse Is sustained, not
not by external props, but by the principle oi
gravity, will command general admiration In
this particular it differs essentially from the statues
Of Peter the Great and iae Duke Of Wellington
at Edinburgh, which Is said 10 be fastened by tbs

stands boldly and solely on his hind legs. The
attitude, person, and especially the face OF the old
