LusuS Natur@.

We copy the following account of a
wonderful production of nature from the
Sacramento California; UHion.'
dropping into the "K street drug
store" yesterday, We observed DR.. Logan
busily engaged in his Office, making a
drawing of the most monstrouS I"S1ts aa-
titrcc we ever saw. 1t was no less than
an abortive attempt on the part of Dame
Nature to manufacture a human being
out of hog. The animal had attained
its complete fetal growth, and was one
of litter of we'll and naturally formed
pigs. The particular one in question,
however, is entirely destitute of hair, while
its skin is white and smooth. The fore
head and head are full and round, and
at about the same facial angle as that of
the Caucasian race. In lieu of the nose,
a proboscis, in exact miniature shape of
an elephants, proceeds from above and
between the eyes, and rests cn the upper
lip. The eyes are large, round, and full
as a mans The lower jaw and chin
project beyond the upper, and the tongue
protrudes little beyond the lips. The
ears are fattened, and laid back against
the side of the head. Indeed, the whole
contour and figure of the head and face
are those of human being while the rest
of the strange animal partakes of the
characteristic formation Of the porclne
species. We understand that this phe-
nomenon was obtained by gentleman OF
this city from one of the noighboring
mining districts, and that he intends send
ing it to Europe, in order to give the
savans there an opportunity to speculate
concerning it's formation,

A Fish Story

Four clergymen: a Baptist, Presbyteri-
an, Methodist, and Roman Catholic, met
BY agreement to dine on fish. Soon as
grace was said the Catholic rose, armed
with knife and fork, and taking about one
third of the fish, comprehending the head
removed it to his plate, exclaiming as be
sat down, with great self-satisfaction,
"Papa est caput ccclesi@" (the Pope is
the head of the Church.) Immediate the
Methodist minister arose, and helping
himself to about one third embracing the
tail, seated himself, eZclaiming, "Fini;
coronat opus" (the end crowns the work.
The Presbyterian now thought it was time
for him to move, and taking the remain
der of the fish to his plate, exclaiming
''In media est veritas" truth lies between
the two extremes.) Our Baptist brother
had nothing but an empty plate and the
prospect of a slim dinner, and snatchinG
up the bowl of drawn (melted) butter, ht
dashed it over them all exclaiming "Egc
baptizo vas" Il baptize you all)

they are required to pay this cnor-
nous sum they will obtain the informa-
ton by reading the following passage
from the Richmond Enquirer
"Our view of the policy of this measure
as of crc7y 0ther, is determined by the par
amount and controlling consideration Of
southern interests. 1t is because We re-
gard the acquisition of Cuba as essential
to the Stability Of the SyStcm Of SlareJy, and
to tie jaea aSccHae1acy Of the South, that We
consent 20 forego our habitual repugnance
to political change, and to advocate a
measure of such vast, and, in some re-
spects, uncertain consequences. The on
ly possible concessions to the Anti Slave
ry fanacism, is by the acqetiSitl0a 9f ad-
diti0ual Slare territory.
We nsU& re-1nfOrce the pO1cerS
Of Slauery as an element Of political con-
troll, and this can only be done by the an
nexation of Cuba. In no other direction
is there chance for the agrandizement
of Slavery. The intrigues of Great Brit
tain for the abolition of Slavery in that
island are pursued with a zeal and an en-
ergy that cannot fail of success, unless the
United States interfere to prevent the
consumation. The only efectual mode
by which this can be done, is by the trans
fer Of the island to the dominion of the
States. If we contemplate the possible
alternative of the disruption of the Union
by the mad spirit of Abolition, the ncces-
sity for the acquisition of Cuba as sup
port to the South, becomes even more man
ifest and urgent. With Cuba in the pos
session of hostile interest, southern Sla-
very would be exposed to an assault which
it could neither resist nor endure. With
Cuba as a member Of a great Southern
Confcderacy, Slavery might bid defiance
to its enemies
We are now called on to convert the
Messilla Valley into slave territory, and
to arrange for bringing the negroes Of Gu
ba within the Union, and thus forever to
prevent the island from becoming the
property of free black men; and the mere
annual interest of these two purchases
to say nothing of the additional army and
navy that will be required-will amount
to four-ff of the whole amount we pay
for educational purposes throughout the
free States of the Union.
Such is a portion of the cost Of the T.
MON. What is its value has been shown.
On future occasion we shall furnish some
other items as to the cost; but meantime
will beg our readers to reflect whether a
trade which cannot be worth dozen mil
lions per annum is not dearly paid for by
the maintenance of system that takes
from the North so many millions annually
to be applied to the purchase of southern
land, the support of southern wars, and
the reinforcement of the powers Of Sla-
very as an element of political control, ,
when they might so advantageously be
applied to the improvement Of rivers and
harbors, by which northern farmers could
cheaply get to market, and the improve
ment of schools, at which northern chill
dren might be cheaply educated.-In-

Magnitude of Russia.

Russia is the greatest unbroken empire
for extent that ever existed, occupying
vast regions of Europe and Asia, and
nearly one-sixth of the habitable globe
1t is forty-one times the size of France,
and one hundred and thirty-eight times
that of England. Yet it was too small
for the ambition of alexander, who is re-
ported to have said, 81 insist upon having
the Baltic to skate upon, the Caspian for
bathing place, the Baltic Sea as wash
hand basin, and the North Pacific Ocean
as fish pond" He "encroached on
Tartary for pasture, on Persia and
Georgia for a vineyard, on Turkey for
a garden, on Poland for farm, on Fin.
land and Lapland as a hunting ground
and took part of North America as a
place Of banishmcnt for offenders

rog Meat.

We have been informed that on Satur-
day last, one of our German citizens Kill
led dog, some of the meat of which be
in public manner offered to dispose of
as an article to be used by families as
food, The dog had been regularly fat
tened for that purpose, AMI was slaught-
cred and dressed in a manner that would
have done credit to practical beef butch
er The German himself pronounced the
dog meat ''reicht goot," said it was much
better than great portion of the meat
sold in this market, and manifested much
surprise that our people were so fastidi-
Gus as to refuse to purchase his dog meat!
We can assure our readers that there
is no joke in this statement It's an abso-
lutte fact, and can easily be substantiated
The German himself, not being able to
effect any sales, used the dog meat in his
own family and upon his own table. If
this German persists in indulging bis
fondness for canine flesh, we hope he Will
soon free our streets Of the presence OF
hundreds of useless, yelping, barking. idle
and ill-conditiored curS u hfl<s.s F9/DR.

The Empress Josephine was very fond
of perfumes, and above all of musk Her
dressing room at Malmaison was filed
with it in spite of NapOleons frequent re-
monstrsnces. Forty years have elapsed
since her death, and the present owner
of Malmaison has had the walls of that
dressing room repeatedly washed and
painted, but neither scrubbing, aquafortis

HOE PRENTEN
YOU ASK HOW I LIVE {?

BY JOSEPH ROBBINS.
Living friendly, feeling friendly,
Acting fairly to all men,
Seeking to do that to others
They may do to us again.
Hating no man, scorning no man,
Wronging none by word or deed;
But forbearing, soothing, serving,
Thus l live-and this my creed.
Harsh condemning, fierce contemning,
Is of little Christian use,
One soft word Of kindly peace
Is worth torrent of abuse;
Calling things bad, calling men bad,
Adds but darkness to their night,
If thou would's improve thy brother,
Let thy goodness be his light.
I have felt and known how bitter
Human coldness makes the world,
Ev'ry bosom round NE frozen,
Not an eye with pity pearled;
Still my heart with kindness teeming,
Glad when other hearts are glad,
And my eyes tear-drop fndeth
At the sight of others sad.
All be kind-life hath no secret
For our happiness like this;
Kindly hearts are seldom sad ones,
Blessing ever bringeth bliss;
Lend a helping hand to others,
Smile tho all the world should frown,
Man is man, we all are brothers,
Black or white, or red or brown.
Man is man, through ali gradatiOns,
Little rocks it where it stands,
Gods image is impressed upon him,
Scattered over many lands;
Man is man by form and feature,
Man by vice and virtue too,
Man is all one common nature,
Speaks and binds US brothers true.

ASA DAVIS.


The following note from friend in Burlington.
Iowa. communicates the sad intelligence Of the
death Of Asa DAVIS, Of that city
BrRLiNCroN, Iowa, Jan Sd, 1864.
NJ Il. RoBiNsoN-Dco Sir: Our friend Asa
DAVIS, the friend of all mon, especially the op
pressed ard poor, is dead, lie died last night
after much pain and suffering,
Yours truly, EpwlN JANrs.
Mr.. Davis was ono Of the few who daily made
the cause of the poor his own, and who felt and
ncted as though all that he was and all that he
possessed should be used for the benefit of human
ity. ctivey conscicntous he came out from the
church when tbccamc false to truth and ustice for
the like rcason he refused his support to the govern
mcnt, aud boldly identified himself with tho right.
however unpopular and at whatever cost. Unos-
tcntatiousy he consocrated his property as we'll as
his influence to the onti-savery cause, in its most
comprehensive and thorough forms. The Western
AntSlavcry Society is largely indebted to his lib
cralty for its present prosperity. Some four years
ago he gave tract Of forty acres Of land to this
Society and recently the avals of the sa le Of
second tract amounting to $500 Though the
Society has not yet realized the full amount) and
we know that he had other and most liberal inten.
tions of the same character. lie felt that lie pres
ea was the time for effort and chose that hi:
property should be used for the poor while he lived
to point out the channel Of its expenditure, rather
than it should lie boarded during his life, and g
perchancc in other directions after his departure.
The cause of the poor--thc cause Of pure and
undcflcd religion, has sustained great bcrcayc
ment in the death of Mr.. Davis lie lived cm
nently the life of the righteous His reward is
with him. and his works of love will yet long follow
him.

SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY.

This newly formed society, is as it deserves,
getting aid and comfort from its friends at the
south. The Synod of Mississippi has
Resolved, That we disapprove the action of the
last General Assembly on the subject of slavery
Resolved, That we desire the peace, prosperity
and Integrity of our Church.
Resolved, That the peace, harmony and unity
of our Church demand the cessation of all agita-
ton on the subject Of slavery in our General As
sembly.
Resolved, That the Synod, having before it a
communication from the corresponding Secretary
of the Southern Aid Society" lately organized in
the city of NewYork hail with qualification this
demonstration of fratcrnal feeling, inasmuch as
our field is large and we need greatly both men
and means to occupy it.
Resolved, That the Stated Clerk be directed to
correspond with the Secretary Of said Society, and
request that Society to act in concert with this
Synod.
No doubt the "said Society" will dcvoutly thank
God and take courage for this promising opening
for iis lhbors.

ly assented to Smiths claims to recognition as a
gentleman-h not only gave consequence to Smiths
opinions by combating them-he not only salutcd
his rcver and c0ntomner, and the royiler and con-
temner of his country, with tue courtesy due only
to the knight without reproach--but he even bore
gratuitous testimony to Smiths character, and paid
voluntary tribute to the genius which he had dis
played in denouncing everything which southern
man must prise and respect! The south will not
thank Mr. Preston for this.
Now, did it become stakeholder to make any
reply to such fanatica invectiyeY Could he, with
proper respect for his own dignity and character,
descend to level with the calumnator of his race?
This is 'chivalry." Mr. Preston is taken to task
