The Boston Evening Gazette says. "a few
months since a lady in this city. en- her wedding
day, received from q friend in New York very
shabby looking picture, with the. wish that il
might adorn her parlor. It was so ebsenre that
one could scarcely detect the=outlines of figures
which it represented. but on account Of the giver
it was sent to be restored While, there, an
Englishman saw it and offered fifty dollars for
it, which offer was refused by the lady, on ae-
count of its being gift The Englishman urged
his offer, and calling upon the lady, said he
would regard it as favor if she would allow
him to-pressnt her with one hundred dollars,
and take the painting. OF course she refused
when he increased his lids gradually fram one
hundred to one thousanss, and finally asked her
to set her own price, as it WAS one six paint

THE BooMERANG.-This curious veapon. n.
culiar to the natives of Australia, has often
proved Fpuzzler to men Of science sit is a
piece of curved wood nearly in the form of a
crescent, from thirty to forty inches long,
pointed at both ends and the corner quite
sharp. The mode of using it is quite as singu-
lar as the Weapon. Ask a black to throw it SO
to fall at his feet, and away it goes full forty
yards before him, skimning along the surface at
three or four feet from the ground, when il will
suddenly rise in the air forty or sixty feet, de-
seribing curve. and finally drepae the feet of
the thrower. During its course it reyolves with
great rapidit5, as on n pivot, with q " hizzine
noise. It is wonderful that SO harbareus peo-
pie should have invented 40 singular a weapon,
which sets laws Of progression at defiance. 1t
is very dangerous for an European TO try to pro-
ject it st any object, asit may return and strike
himself. In natives hand il is a formidable
weapon, striking Withoutst sthe protector being
seen; like the Irishman's gun, shooting round .
corner equally as straightforward. Ii was in
vented to strike the kangaroo. which animal is
killed by it with q certainty, and though
q copse intervene between the hunter and the
animal, the Boomerang comes round the CORNER
and breaks his legs. .. essss
