ExTRAoRDINARY, If TRu E.--According to
some italian journals, a new organized being
has been discovered in the interior of Africa,
which seems to form an immediate link between
vegetable and animal life. This singular pro-
ducton of nature has the shape of spotted
serpent. 1t drags itself along on the ground !;
instead of head had flower, shaped like a
bell, which contains a viscd 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
portion, such as the head and wings, are thrown
out by aspiral openings. The vegetable serpent
has skin resembling leaves, white and soft
flesh, and instead of bony skeleton a cartilagi-
nous frame, filled with yellow marrow. The
natives consider it a delicious food.

Measuring Corn IN c,,b.

AS farmers frequently wish to know how 10
estimate the amount of corn contained in crib
Tor storehouse, we give the following rule rela-
ting thereto, which may be considered as relia-
lble.
Having levelled the corn so that It will be Of
equal depth throughout, ascertain the length
breadth and depth of the bulk, multiply those di-
.mensions together, and their product by 4, re-
moving one figure from the right of this last
product. This will give you so many bushels
and decimal of bushel of shelled corn. II it
be required 10 find the quantity of cared corn,
substitute 8 for 4, and remove one figure as be.
fore.
ExAMrLE.-For a bulk of corn in the ear. 12
feet long, feet broad, and ten feet deep, there
will be 384.0 bushels of shelled corn, or 769. o
of cared corn. Thus, as l2XSXlOX4-=384.O o,
or l2X8XlOXS=768.0. The decimal 4 is used
when the object is to find the quantity of she'll
ed corn; because that decimal is one-half the
decimal 8, and it requires two bushels of ear
corn to make one bushel of shelled corn.--CDol-

UNCLE Tnm,s Cabin

A statement by Clarke & CO., one Of the foa,
or five publishing houses which have reprinted
Uncle Toms cabin" shows the popularity Of
that work in England. 1t says:
An early copy was sent from America The
latter end Of last April, TO Mr.. Bogue, the pub-
Usher, and was offered by him to Mr., Giipin-
late OF Bishopsgate street. Being declined bv
Mr. Gilpin, Mr.. Bogue offered it to Mr.. Henry
Vizetelly aud by the latter gentleman il was
eventually purchased for us. Before printing
1t, however, as there was one night allowed for
decision, onevolume was taken home TO be read
by MIR. Henry Vizetely, and the other by Mr.
Salisbury, printer of Bouverie street. The re-
port OF the latter gentleman, the following morn
ing, to quote his own words, was, IL sat up till
our IN the ~, fnipu- readipo jbc hook ,ri Tie
laughter, another by tears; but thinking II might
be my weakness and not the power Of the author
that affected me, thought would try the effect
upon my wife (rather strong minded worlan).
| accordingly woke her up and read few chap
ters. Finding that the interest of the story
kept her awake, and that she, too, laughed and
shed tear occasionally, settled in my mind
that it was book which ought and might with
safety be printed"
Mr.. Henry Vizetelly's opinion coincided with
Mr.. Salisbury's; and to the latter gentleman it
was confded TO be brought out instantly. The
week following the book was produced, and an
edition Of 5000 worked off. 1t made no stir
until the middle of June, although we advertised
it very extensively. From June it began to
make way, and sold at the rate of 1000 per
week during July. In August the demand be-
came very great which went on increasing to
the goth, at which time it became perfectly
overwhelming. We have now about four hun
dred people employed in some way or other
upon the book, and about seventeen printing
besides hand presses. The following
is a correct statement of sales - Illustrated
edition, 5s. 3D., 9th thousand original edition,
Is. 3D., Both thousand Routledge g. Co., Rail-
way edition, Is, 95th thousand Routedge g.
Co., Peoples penny edition, 10000 weekly.
Thus about 10000 copies of the work are
already in the hands of the public, while still
the weekly returns of sales show no decline.

New DIscovERY IN LITERATuRE.-We are
frequently panied at the hacknied style Of news
paper writers, particularly in the "pufing {"
line, and, as the "moody Dane remarked to
the travelling actors, we would &c reform it alto
gether." Take notice Of the style in which the
receipt of new music is generally acknowledged:
We have received from Jones s Smith, ballad,
"Will you love me then as now {" and the
answer, Oh, yes, will love you great deal
more!" Words by Jenkins; music by brown;
dedicated TO Miss Araminta Ann Cluffson.
Something in this style it strikes us, would
have the merit of novelty at least:
We have received from some
poetical remarks, supposed to have been made
by an individual connected with our mercantile
marine, and known by the name Of BENJAMIN
Bolt, abbreviated, for the sake of the metre, TO
" Ben." The remarks are intended for the
piano, and appear to be in answer to some
queries previously propOunded to Mr.. Bolt, as
TO his acquaintance with and remembrance Of, a
young woman, with whom he had, in his earlier
years, contracted an intimacy, and who il called,
with the license peculiar to poets, " Sweet
Alice" Mr. Bolt is like the Honorable Mr.. b.,
rather indefinite and evasive in his replies, but
his remarks, though vague, are we'll written and
put together. 1t is arranged for the piano, Jews
harp, or whistle, and is entitled " Ben Bolts
Reply"
There, we think that this style has the merit
of novelty, at least.-Boston Times.
