The Effect Of a Laugh.

The ingenious Charles Peach, the Cornwall
naturalist, whose papers at the British AS
ISOLATION have often been referred to in the
journals, is now professionally settled at Pc
terhead, in the north of Scotland, where, as
formerly, he employs his spare time in resear-
ches in the lower field of marine life. He
lately obtained go,cdie (gemmous diagonet, }
and this, together with small five bearded
blenny, he put into large crystal vase, which
was suspended from the ceiling of his psrlor
near the window. The fish had done very
well for several days, when their life was
brought to a close by curious accident. To
quote from a letter of Mr.. Peach So One
night, about eleven O'Clock, my two Oldest
boys, my wife and myself, were about to 60 to
bed, when some odd story which had made US
laugh in Cornwall, was called to mind, and
the recollection so tickled us that we all fell
again into a hearty laugh. The fish, which
were Of quiet disposition, and usually rested
at the bottom, Immediately became much excl
ted, and we observed them darling furiously
backwards and forwards. My son William
went towards the window to see what was the
matter, when bang, went the vase, and down
came the fish and salt water upon the floor
A pretty rush it caused amongst us A.; ofcourse
the fish lost their lives, When the hustle was
over, the question arose, GLOW happened this9'
We had every reason to believe the vase per-
fectly sound. believe it was caused by our
laugh being hearty, and al! in one note, and
that, the note which the vase would vibrate TO;
the vase being thin, the vibration had been too
strong for it. The fish had evidently been ac-
ted on by the Earring Of the walls of their frail
tenement

liams he's our nan-he's the man r they all
exclaimed, as they began 10 scatter to tell the
news. The day of election came on, and Gen.
Williams was elected by a largo vote. A
messenger was al once despatched with care
fully prepared letter TO inform the General of
his election, requesting his acceptance, and
hoping he would name the day on which he
would take the oath Of Office. After long
hard ride, the messenger stopped at the Cen
erals residence, in Marlborough District, we
believe. aud inquired if he was in. tie was
told that Mr.. Williams was over at his planta-
tion. The gentleman said he would ride over,
as he had note to deliver TO him as soon as
possible When about half way he met fine

Mr.. Williams opened the letter, and found, TO
his utter establishment, that, without his
knowledge or consent, he had been elected
Governor of South Carolina He took the
messenger home, and entertained him for the
night, preparing note in the meantime accep-
ting the appointment, and naming time on
which he would be in Columbia The mes
senger returned. On the appointed day, few
minutes before 10, man dressed in homespun,
and on horseback, rode into town; hitching
his animal to a tree, he made his way to the
Capitol, where he found brilliant concourse
Of people. But few knew him personally still
there was something commanding about him.
He took his seat in vacant chair and when
the clock in front of the Speaker had struck
the hour of twelve the General arose, and de-
livered the most mastery speech that had ever
been delivered there. The farmer-statesman
entirely electrified the assembly. He made an
excellent Governor This thing conveys a
