Characteristic Anccdote of Talleyrand.


Talleyrand, the llustrous diplomatist, one day
found himself between Madame de Stael and Mad
anne Recamier, both intimate friends, both celebr-
ties.
"You say charming things to us both, but which
do you prefer?" said Madame de Stael, suddenly.
Madame, such question is veritable am

"Prince, no subterfuge here! Which do yo;I
prefer-Iny friend or myself? Come, speak, is it
the brunette or the blonde?"
alt will be her who will deign to honor me
with look" d.
"What, still diplomatic! Well, will put the
question in another form. Suppose, while sailing
on the Seine this evening, the boat should upset,
and we should be in danger of drowning which
one would you help:"
Both at once, or the one that was in the great
est danger"
"But, Monseigneur, be frank for once in your
life Suppose the peril be equally imminent"
"Well, would give my right hand to you
Baroness, and the left hand to Madame Recamicr."
sBut if you could save only one-only one-do
you understand?
"Oh, Madame, you who know so many things l
suppose can swim," replied Talleyrand.

The Megatherium.

This leviathan of the vast plains of South Amer
ica which were once occupied by immense NUM-
hers of the race now entirely extinct, partakes of
the peneric character of the existing diininutive
soths. Il rvalled in size the largest rl,lnoceros,
was armed with claws of enormous length and
power, its whole frame possessing an extreme de-
gree of solidity With a head and neck like those
of the soth its legs and feet exhibit the character
of the arinadillo and the ant-cater. Some specl-
mems of the animal give the measurement OF five
feet across the launches, and the thigh bone was
nearly three times thick as that OF the elephant
The spinal marrow must have been Il foot III di-
ameter. and the TAIL at the part nearest the body,
twice as large, or six feet in circumference. The
sirth of the body was fourteen feet and hall, and
the length eighteen feet.
The teeth were admirably adapted for cutting
vegetable substances, and the general structure
and strength of the frame for tearing up the ground
in search of roots. wrenching of the branches OF
trees and uprootng their trunks, on which 1t prln

rously accoutred "says Dr. Buckland, in his eloquent
descr;ption of the megatherum, it could neither
run nor lean. nor climb, nor burrow under ground;
and all its movements must have been necessarily
slow But what need of rapid locomotion to an
animal whose occupation of digging roots for food
was almost stationary? And what need OF speed
for fight from foes, to creature whose giant car
case was encased in an impenetrable cuirass, and
who by single pat of his paw, or lash of his TAIL
could in an instant have demolished the cougar or
the crocodile: Secure within the panoply OF ms

dare encounter this Ieviathan of the pampass or

The seven Ancient Wonders Of the World


These were, lst. The brass COLOSSUS of Rhodes
100 feet high, built by Cares, A. ID. 2SS, occupy
ing IL years in making. 1t stood across the har-
Dor of Rhodes 66 years, and was then thrown down
by an earthquake. 1t was bought by a Jew, from
the Saracens, who loaded 900 camels with the
brass.
=. The Pyramids of Egypt. The largest one
engaged 100000 workmen 80 years in building,
and IS now stood at least 5000 years.
3. The Aqueducts of Rome, invented by Appius
Claudius, the censor.
t. The Labyrinth of Psammeticos, on the banks
of the Nile containing, within continued wall,
1000 houses and II royal palaces, all covered with
marble, having only one entrance. The building
was snid to contain 5000 chambers, and hall built
of marble, adorned with statues of the gods.
s. The Pharos of Alexandria, tower built by
order of Ptolmy Philadelphus, in the year 2S2 B.
&c. 1t was erected as lighthouse, and contained
magnificent galleries of marble, large lantern at
the top, the light of which was seen near hun
dred miles off-mirrors of enormous sizes were
fixed round the galleries. rejecting everything on
the sea- A common tower is now erected in its
place.
g. The Walls of Babylon, built by order of
Semiramis, or Nebuchadnezzar, and finished in one
year by 100000 men. They were of immense
thickness.
T. The Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, completed
in the reign of Servius, 9th king of Rome. 1t was
$50 feet long, 300 broad, and supported by l26
marble pillars, 20 feet high The beams and doors
were of cedar, the rest of the timber cypress. 1t
was DESTROYED by fire B. c. 365.

The depression, it is stated in the New
buryport Mass Herald, sc which has weigh
ed heavily upon all our other manufactures,
tor two or three years past, has at last reach
ed the shoe business, and that among the de-
partures for California, we're many who had
been thrown out of business in this depart
ment of industry. We find, as far as our
inquiries extend, that the reduction of wages
IN the shoe manufacture, in all branches ex-
cept the first class Of work; is 80 per cent
We find that shoes which last wear workmen
obtained 10 or IL cents a pair for making,
are now made at & TO cents; those for which
employers formerly paid l5 and Ia cents,
they now pay only 10 or IL cents; and those
for which 30 to 35 cents were formerly paid,
are now made for 20 to 2S cents There are
a great many journeyman shoemakers, now
employed on ordinary work, IL to Is hours

that Protestantism is incompatible with civil

Progress oil the Australian Pacific Mail
SteamsPacketl Company.

by private advices received from England we
lee IN that every exertion is made TO bring this
Company into operation at the earliest possible
date. Five screw steamships are IN course of pre-
paration, and may be expected in the bay of Pana
ma, about the month of May 1853. These ve.-
sells are 800 tons each and 800 horse power
This Line is intended to ply between Panama and
Australia, in connection with the Royal Mail Com
pany from Navy Bay to England, or any of the
United States Companies that may afford greater
facilities 1t Is not unlikely that the Collins or
Cunard Line may procure the contract on the At
lantic side by way of New York.
Among the documents we have received regard
ing this project, find list of the directors and
provisional committee, containing the names of
some of the leading merchants of London and
Liverpool.
This Company purposes maintaining monthly
line between Panama and Sydney, touching at the
Society Islands and New Zealand The VOYAGE
it is calculated, will occupy on an average of nine
knots, thirtyeight days. If necessary the vessels
intended for this line, carry coal for the entire
voyage, besides 200 tons of cargo; but it is con-
ternplated to keep regular depots at Otaheite, Bay
of Islands, and Port Nicholson; so that there can
be no danger of short supply Of fuel on the voy-
age.
1t is, at present. the intention of the Company to
contract for the carriage of the British mails from
and to New Zealand; and it is presumed that a
liberal subsidy will be granted by the British go
for that purpose. As to the success of
this Company, We think there cannot be doubt
about IL. In the hands of the leading mercantile
men of Great Britain, SO important work cannot
fail to succeed.
The whole scheme is grand undertaking based
upon solid footing, and having for its object the
of the worlds antipodes, opening a
between England and her Austria
liam colonies, that will barely occupy more than one
third the time at present necessary to perform the
voyage This step will finally be, unless the
Americans bestir themselves, the permanent OPEN
ing of British Steam communication with China
and the South American Coast, an enterprise which
cannot remain long in the back ground.
The effect of the opening of the Australian
steam ship line, will be one undoubtedly of ncal-
culabie advantage to Panama. The Railroad and
his Company viii! both get into full operation
about the same time and twelve months more will
see Panama assuming position among the great
places of the earth that can hardly be surpassed,
either in interest or Importance.
The attention of British and American capital
sts is daily becoming more and more attracted to
his spot as the half way house between China, the |
East Indies, Australia, San Francisco and all South
America OH the one side, and the United States
md Europe on the other; the bridge that must
inay and permanently join the Atlantic and Pa
ifc oceans, and over which the traffic of the two
,ceans must soon pass exclusively leaving the voy-
ge round Cape Horn to be performed by coal dro-
rersand whalers-Star.

influence of the Moon upon the Weather

A Paris astronomer has published the results of
twenty years observations upon the influence of
the moon upon the weather. From the new moon
to the first quarter it rained-durrg the period of
twenty years embraced in the calculatations-76
days; from the first quarter to the full moon it ran
ed |oi days and from the last quarter TO the new
moon i rained G96 days. So that during the
moons increase there was 1909 rainy days. This
difference is more likely to have been accidental
than the result of any natural cause, and the con-
cluson which We derive from the statement is that
the moon has no influence upon the Weather.
