GAREICE,

As Goldsmith has justly observed Of
Garrick, he was an actor off the stage,
more completely than when arrayed in
the buskin, and embodying the heroes of
Shakespeare. In society, he was al
was always aiming at effect, and strug-
Cling to create sensation. In this
there was vanity, grounded on policy,
and for these combined reasons he was
never desirous of being brought into
contact with Foote. As an imitator he
far ezcelled the latter, although he did
not, like that dangerous satirist, trade
SO exclusively on his powers of imita-
ton. Garrick was very fond of display
ing this quality Of his versatile genius in
society, and sometimes would indulge in
what he called his Rounds" This he
did by standing behing L chair, and sue
cesslyely conveying into his face every
graduation Of passion, and every posi-
bic variety OF feeling lie could copy
not only the voice and manner of any
particular individual, but could mould
his features into an exact resemblance of
the person initiated His Wilkes was a
perfect facsimile, including the squint
There Is story told, that he SC fright
ened Hogarth, by appearing to him rs
the ghost of Fielding, that the painter
is said to never have recovered the
shock. 4 French writer, quoted BY
Dibin, in his History Of the Stage" re
lates the following anecdote, which may
be true, or may be nothing more than a
lively invention.
G. a woman Of fashion in London had
great desire to procure the portrait of a
nObleman with whom she was in love,
but who had particular ayertion to sit
for his picture. She prevailed upon
Garrick to notice the face Of this lord,
and so possess himself Of his features that
the painter might easily design f4ithful
likeness, through the medium of his
borrowed resemblance. This was under
taken, and after having studied every
trait and gesture, and each possible
manner Of giving them variety, till it was
no longer Garrick, but 1Iy Lord, the
painter was set to work, and succeeded so
well that the portrait was universally
known for the nobleman in custom, who
was the first to express his astonishment
at SO perfect likeness being obtained
without his knowledge. The story goes
on to say, that he iberally rewarded the
actor, and married the lady, in return for
love and ingenuity.

ECCENTRIC REBUKEs FROM THE Pull

INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS.

Here is what | have seen at the Jar
din des Plantes. There we're too MANY
bears, and they wished to kill two of them
by means Of prussic acid. Some drops
of the acid were thrown into little cakes.
At the sight of the cakes the bears stood
up on their hind legs and opened their
mouths. Some cakes were successfully
pitched in, but were Immediately spit
ont, and the bears fed It might have
been expected that they would not be
tempted to touch them any more. Not
withstanding. they were soon seen push
ing the cakes with their feet towards the
basin in their ditch. They slouced them
in the water, and smelt them attentive
ly, and as the poison eyaporated, they
proceeded to eat them. Thus they ate
all our cakes with impunity They had
shown too much Intelligence for our res
olutions to remain unchanged, and We
granted them a reprieve
We have had of late years young
orang-outang. l had opportunities of
studying it, and was often astonished by
its intelligence. It called to mind what
Button had said of the orang-outang that
he had observed. II have seen that an.
imal present his hand to visitors who
came to see him, walking gravely with
them like companion l have seen him
seat himself at the table, spread his nap
kin, wipe his lips, use his spoon and fork
in carrying to his mouth, pour his diink
into a glass, and hob and mob when he
was invited, go and take cup and sau-
Ger, place them upon the table, ,put in
in the sugar and pour in the tea, let it
cool to drink il ; and all without any 9TH
er instigation than the signs and words Of
his master and often he would do it of
himself. He never harmed any one, al
ways advanced with circumspection, and
seemed to ask for caresses, Sc"
Our young orang-outang did all these
things. He was very gentle, liked much
to be caressed, particularly by little chill
dren, with whom he played, trying to
initiate every thing they did before him,
&c. He knew very well how to take
the key of the chamber where be lodged,
to push it into the lock, and open the
door. Sometimes the key was placed
upon the chimney-piece, and he climbed
up to it by the cord upon which he usu-
ally swung. A knot was made upon the
rope to make it shorter he undid the
knot. He had nothing of the impatience
and pctulance of other monkeys. He
looked sad, and walked sedateiy, with
measured steps. I went to see him one
day with an illustrious old man, deli
cate observer. An odd costume, fee
BILE and lingering walk, and bent body,
fixed the attention of the young animal
from the moment of our arrival. He did
comPlacently everything required of him,
keeping his eyes fixed continually, how
ever, upon the object of his curiosity
When we were retiring he approached
his new visitor, gently and maliciously
took hold of the stick he had in his hand,
and feigning to support himself upon it,
and bending his back, and relaxing his
pace, walked round the room where we
were, milnicing all the while the attitude
and step Of my friend He carried back
the stick himself, and we left him, con-
WINGED that if we knew how to observe
him, he, in his turn, knew how to OBJ
serve us.-M. Fzourens.

.AxBlcuos. good story is told of gen.
tleman residing not q thousand miles from
Cincinnati, who was noted for his gen.
erous confidence in the Bank of Circleville.
At the time Of the suspension of that insti-
tntion, he was it seems on pilgrimage to
Circleville, with some fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars, Of its paper promises, which he
wished to convert into coin. Visions of yell
low boys danced before him on his sswinding
way" but all his golden dreams vanished in
to thin air, on arrival at town midway be-
tween Cincinnati and Circleville where he re-
ceived the astounding intelligence that
the bank had broke.
Wishing to forward the disastrous news to
the folks at home, he rushed to the tele-
graph Office, and in a few minutes his friends
were startled by the reception Of the follow
ing rather ambiguous dispatch:

will be there to- morrow!"- Columbus States
