A NATURAL ARTEsIAN WELL.-Mr. F. A. Bee,
informs the the Placervile american that upon
his South Fork river claim, where the bed OF
the river had previously been kept compara-
lively dry by pumping, that on removing IA large
boulder that appeard before removal to be IA por-
ton of the bed rock, stream Of water burst
forth from hole in the rock directly in the bed
of The boulder, nearly six inches in diameter,
that continues to flow to the present time, dis
charging large body of water, rendering it
dlficnt to work this portion OF tthe claim. But
a singular fact connected with the discovery is
this. that on the first flow of the water, it was
cold as that from numerous springs in the vicin-
ity. but after a few hours flow it waa found to
be warm water, and SO continues. From ex-
periments made it seems to be bottomless or OF
great depth 1t is very evident that We have a
warm country below u.s.

LADY NAPIER AND THE MONKEY Lady Ma
pier related amusing incident in connection
with animals. AS she and Sir Charles We're
coming down The Mahableswhur Hills they
choose to pitch their tents and remain for the
night on spot which was inhabited by tribe
nt monkeys. These beasts VT re drawn bv ,ieir
intense curiosity close to the travellers, and La
dy Napier sent for some nuts, put them into the
pocket vt her apron, and fed one which was
bolder and tanner than the rest with them
When they withdrew into the tent, their apei III
guests likewise retreated On awaking next
morning, Lady Napier Was startled at finding
that her purse which WasI Iu the pocket of her
apron. had been stolen in the night. An inqui-
ny was instantly made. aud close search was
instituted in her room for it, but in vain, and
she had come to the conclusion, that some OF
those skillful Indians robbers, who can steal the
sheets from under one. unielt and unseen had
carried oft her property, for the loss was con-
siderable. When walking by chance into the
back enclosure OF her tent, she found her friend
the monkey seated in grave dignity with her
apron on, Initiating her yesterday evening ac-
ton, and supplying the want of nuts with her
gold and silver coins, which he scattered liber-
ally around him. He was suffered TO empty the
purse, when they tried to catch him, but did
not succeed; he returned TO his woods clad in
ii black satin apron and doubtless played for
the future the part of monkey who had seen the

A kSoTTY TExr-There was once an itiner-
ant preacher in West Tennessee, who, possessing
considerable natural eloguence, had gradually
become impressed with the idea that he was
also great Biblical scholar. Under this deu-
sion he would very frequently, at the close of
his sermon, ask any member of his congrega-
ton, who might have "knotty text to unrav-
ell, to speak ii, and he would explain it at once,
however much it night have troubled .less dis
unsnished divines." On this occasion, in large
audience, he was particularly pressing for some
one to PROFOUND text. No one presuming to
do so, he was about to sit down without having
an opportunity of showing his learning, when a
chap by the door announced that he had a Bible
matter OF great consarn,' which he desired to
be enlightened upon. The preacher, quite ami
matedly, protessed his willingness and ability,
and the congregation was in great excitement.

'ls-whether Jobs turkey was hen or gob-
ler?"
The "expounder" looked confused, and the
congregation Uttered, as the questioner capped
the climax, by exclaiming in loud voice

From that time forward the practice Of asking
for difficult passages" was avoided.
