IMMORTALITY OF JoKEs.-A good
joke is generally considered fine and
funny thing. So it is; but is some
thing more, too, and something else.
1t is sorrowful thing and full of regret:
it is freighted with all the morality Of
sermon, text, arguments and improve
ment. 1t is a continual memento O.
morality and breaches like the skull
at the Egyptian feasts. like the procla-
nation before Saladin, tie mans exis-
tence is not eaGual to that of his works
We do not reccollect having seen Joe
Miller ever before perverted to the
creation of such doleful docterine, and
therein lies our safety-our freedom
from a danger that yesterday came
near upsetting our feet and philosophy
in a manner fearful to record. A joke
which we consider good, which, indeed,
was good beyond all consideration. had
been whispered in our ear. DESTROYS
Of comforting upon others tie pleasure
in which we had participated, the joke
was dressed up in a new bib and tuck
or, the best our wardrobe could afford,
fsnd made ready for publication. Be-
fore, however. it had passed to that
bourne from which no copy returns,
it fortunately passed under an eye
critical in all matters literary, scien-
tific and statistical, and was marked
unsound. That very joke, that idcn-
tical joke that we had dressed up with
such care and carlton. and had suppos-
ed would amuse half of the town. yes
terday morning. besides securing for
US very env'ab!e jocular reputation
that very joke tickled our graud-fath-
ers and grand-mothers when it was
told to them by their loving parents!
Shouldn't we have been picked up.
But oh my country. what fall is there
in our sclf-apprisal when we learn the
facts.

T An extraordinary accident &C.
CURED on the railroad, near Tarrytown,
a few days since. The locomotive had
stopped to water at the station-house,
and Immediately blew up and became
a total wreck. A part Of the engine
was thrown two hundred feet into the
river. The roof of the shed under
which the water was covered, was also
blown about 100 feet across the track.
Pieces of wood and iron, together with
the scalding water, were scattered in
all directions, and what is wonderful,
but one man, and he y way passenger,
was injured. This man had his arm
broken in two places. Around the
station house and on the banks of the
river within reach of danger there
we're a large number Of persons, but
all escaped, save one, and the escape

jackson and the Capital.

At the town of jackson in the State
of Louisiana, there is published very
interesting sheet styled the Southern
Mirror, from which the following par
agraph is taken:
1.-THE country members seem dis
posed to move the capital, and mostly
it would seem, because Baton Rouge
affords the poorest of board, rooms and
other accommodations, for the highest
price. A few groceries, supplied with
a peck of apples, two oysters, and
bunch ofpoor cigars, are not able to
satisfy our law makers.
As kind of offset to the above,
which we admit to be "true to the
facts" we state the following which is
on record in the note book of a travel
er Of undoubted veracity. He once in
his travels had occasion to pass through
the town Of jackson, which he did
upon very diminutive species Of the
horse family. At the "Feliciana Ho-
tel' he was furnished with mules
meat, for breakfast, and mules meat
for dinner. At supper he had mules
milk to sweeten his tea with, and was
put to bed in a mules skin; where
between fleas, cockroaches, bed bugs
and mosquitoes, he was robbed of the
best portion of his life's blood-.when
be awoke, in the morning he found
that his own mule was missing and no
one could tell his whereabouts

HONEY BEEs.-The Albany Guilt
vator has an interesting article on hon
ey bees, from the pen Of a distinguish
ed professor, from which we quote the
following paragraph:
Many - nearly everybody-sup-
pose that the bee culls honey from the
nectar of the flowers, and simply car
ries it to its cell in the hive. This is
not correct. The nectar it collects
from the flower is portion of its food
or drink; the honey it deposites in its
cell is a secretion from its mellific or
honey secretirg glands, analogous to
the milk seereting gland of the cow
and other animals. If they were the
mere collectors and transporters of
honey from the flower to the honey
comb, then we would have the comb
frequently filed with molasses when
ever the bees have fed at the molasses
hogshead. The honey bag in the bee
performs the same functions as the
cows bag or udder, merely receiving
the honey from the secretion glands,
and retaining it until a proper opper-
tunity presents for its being deposited
in its appropriate storehouse, the hon.
ey comb. Another error is, that the
bee collects pollen from the flowers ac-
cidentally, while it is in search of hon
ey. Quite the contrary is the fact.
The bee, while in search of nectar or
honey, as it is improperly called, does
not collect pollen. 1t goes in search
Of pollen specially, and also for nectar
When the pollen of the flower is ripe,
and fit for the use of the bee, there is
no nectar; when there is nectar, there
is pollen fit for it's use in the flower.
1t is generally supposed, also, that
the bee collects the wax from which it
constructs its comb, from some vegeta-
bic substance. This Is also an error.
The wax is secretion from it's body,
as the honey is; and it makes its ap-
pearance in small scales or flakes, or
under the rings of the belly, and is ia
ken thence by other bees, rendered
plastic by mixture with the saliva of
the bees mouths and laid on the walls
of the cell with the tongue, very much
