The EudicrOus Sides of Life.

The dexterous leap Of thought, by which the
mind escapes from seemingly hopeless dilemma
is worth all the investment of dignity the world
holds. Ii was this readiness in repartee which
continually saved Voltaire from social oyer,urn
He once praised another writer very heartily to
q third person. at is very strange was the
replo, "that you speak SO well Of him, for he
says that you are a charlatan." "Oh," REPLIED
Voltaire, 81 think it very likely that both of us
may be mistaken"
Again, you must all have heard the anecdo,e
ofthe young gentleman who was discoursing ve-
~ dogmatically about the appropriate sphere of
woman. "And pray, sir" screamed out an old
lady, what is the appropriate sphere of woman?'
"A celestial sphere, madam"
Robert Hall, did not loso his power Of retort
even in madness. A hypocrtical condoler with
hi, nsfortunes once visited him in the mad
house, and said in whining tone, "What brot
you here, Mr.. Hall ?" Hall significantly touch
ed his brow with his finger, and replied, "What
will never bring you sir-too much brain !"
A rapid change from enthusiasm to noncha-
lance is often necessary in society. Thus,
person once eloquently eulogizng the angelic
qualities OF Joan of Arc, was suddenly met by
the petulant question, "what was Joan of Arc
made Off" "She was Maid of Orleans"
Yankee is never upset by the astonishing
He walks among the Alps with his hands in his
pockets, and the smoke of his cigar is seen
among the mists of Niagara. One OF this class
sauntered into the Office of the lightning tele-
graph, and asked how long it would take TO trans
mita message to Washington. "Ten minutes"
was the reply. can't wait was his reoiud-
err
Sheridan never was without q reason, never
failed to extrcate himself in any emergency by
his Wit. At a country house, where he was
once on visit, an elderly maiden lady desired
to be his companion i'll walk. He excused
himself at first on the ground of the badness of
the weather. She after detected him in q
sly attempt to escape withouther. "Well, she
said, lit is cleared up, see" "Why, yes. he
answered, at has cleared up enough for one, but
not enough for two"
Il was this readiness which made John Ran
dolph so terrible in retort. He was the Therstes
of Congress, tongue stabber. No hyperbole
of contempt or scorn could be launched against
him, but he could oyerop it with something more
scorutul and cOntemptuous. Opposition only
madlened him into more brilliant bitterness.
"Isn't it shame, Mr.. President" said he one day
in the Senate, "that the noble bulldogs ofthe ad-
ministration, should be wasting their precious
time in worrying the rats of the opposition. y
Immediately the Senate was in uproar, and he
was clamorously called to orGer. The presi-
ding officer, however, sustained him and point
ing his long, skinny fingers at his opponents
Randolph screamed out, Rats, did say mice

Variations from Climate IN Organic
Life.

Organic life assumes new characteristics I'M
der new Influences. The domestic animals of
Europe were not found III this country on its dis
covery. They escaped from the Spainards, and
ran wild tor centuries. In consequence new and
striking characteristics have been acquired in
accommodation to the novel circumstances
The wild hog strikingly resembles the wild boar
of France. Instead of brstle, which the stock
has from which he sprang, he has a thick fur,
often crisp, and sometimes oil undercoat of wool.
Changes in color have taken place, and the ana
tomical structure has altered.
The OK has undergone changes some in South
America, called "pclons," having clothing of
fine fur others with Il naked skin, like the
Mexican or Guinea dog. In Columbia the prac-
tice Of milking the cows was given up, and the
secretion of milk is confined to the period Of
sucking the calf.
The wild dog Of the pampas does not bark like
the domestic dog, bat howls like wolf. The
wild cat has lost the sweet music of the cater
wauling concert. The wild horse of the high
er plains of South America Is covered with long
shaggy fur Of an uniform chesnut color. The
sheep of the central Cordilloras produces thick
matted, woolly fleece, which breaks off in tufts
and never re-nppcars. The goat have lost her
large tcats, and produces two or three kids an
nually. Similar changes occur in geese and
galiuacious fowls. Rumpless ones have sprung
up, wanting the caudle vertebrR. Cats are fire.
quent on White river without tails.
The fat tailed sheep of Tartary lose their mass
of fat on removal TO Siberia. The African sheep
has become like goat, covered with hair. The
Waachian sheep are different still. The wild
horse OF Siberia have anatomical differences from
the tame ones. 1t is u question among natural
lists whether the dog and wolf belong to the
same species, though it is referred to one species
Bat between these the differences are immense,
from the gigantic St Bernard and the newfound-
land to the little lap dog in a aty's arms. The
COW, the domesticated fowls, and pigeon, have
put on Infinite varieties of size color, and charac-
ter.-Scien8ifc American.
