Beauty and taste, in their constructions, which is
always peculiar to the latitude from whence they

II is highly creditable to our City, and espe-

these establishments are not to be excelled, any
where in the West, for the amount, variety and
quality Of their stock.

pletc circulations of his blood in the short space
of an hour. In respect to the comparative
speed of animated beings and of impelled bod
les, it may be remarked that size and consruc-
ton seem to have little influence, nor has com
parative strength, though one body giving any
quantity of motion to another is said to lose so
much of its own. The slpih is by no means a
small animal, and yet il can travel only fifty
PAGES in day; worm crawls only FIVE inches
in fifty seconds; but a lady bird can fly twenty
million times its own length in less than an
hour. An elk can run a mile and half in sew
en- minutes; an antelope mile in minute; the
wild mule of Tartary has speed even greater
than that; an eagle can fly eighteen leagues in
an hour; and canary falcon can even reach $50
