SIAMEsE FRUIrs.-A correspondent of the
Pennsylvania Enquirer writing from on board
the United States steamer San Jacinto, at Hong
Kong, thus describes the principal fruits he met
with during the stay Of the vessel in the Sia-
mese waters:
sSiam produces the finest fruits of the East in
profusion Tho pine apple, the mangosteip. the
banana, the mango, the lische, the cocoa-nut, the
dhurein, the rambotan, and several others.
whose names have forgotten, abound in great
plenty, and are of the finest quality. The man.
gusten is the most delicious; its refined delicacy
of flavor is unsurpassed. For beauty of appear
ance, when opened, it is unrivalled. An outer
shell encloses five or seven pits OF snow White
color, which forms beautiful contrast with the
rich red of the shell. 1t may be emphatically
STYLED the ladies' fruit. The dhurien is Of large
size and disgusting odor, that of sulphuretted
hydrogen. 1t is of a rich creamy consistence,
but the odor is so repulsive that only long per-
severance can make one appreciate and like it,
and when once the aversion is conquered the de-
sire for it becomes a strong passion. The Malay
will undergo any privation, suffer and loss, give
any sum of money, part with houses, wife, chill
dren, and all that man holds most dear to graft
fy his appetite for this fruit. The fruit is not
good until the tree producing it is about twenty
years old; although they might be increased in
number by planting, yet they are 10th to take
the trouble to do it. Each tree produces but
five or six dhuriens. No man in the East plants
acorns that oaks may grow for posterity.

CoLp REGIONS ExTENDNe.-It is well known
as matter of history, that when Greenland was
discovered it possessed much warmer climate
than it does at present. The ice-packs have
been extending South from the polar regions for
some centuries, and the Northeast coasts OF our
continent are now much colder than they were
three centuries ago. The cause of this is not
well understood {; the fact only is known. 1t is
believed by some persons that there is great
eddy III some part of the polar ocean which
sometimes changes its direction and by drifting
large icebergs from one place to another, changes
the climate of those places whence they are
drifed by the presence of such masses of ice diff
fusing their low temperature to great distances.
In the month of July last the White Sea was
blocked up with huge mountains of ice, and the
commerce of Archangel stopped-something
which never happened before. In the Farce Is
lands snow fell in the valleys in the middle of
July, the like of which also never happened be-
fore If this drift of ice continues regularly for
a few seasons the coasts of the White Sea will
become as inhospitable as those of Greenland
now are.-Scientifc american.

COMMON ScouNDREL PoRTRA1Ts.-The N. Y.
Herald has been calling for sketches Of the new
Common Council; and, if we may Judge from
the following extract some of their pictures
would disgrace gallery of Sing Sing convicts:
One of the Aldermen elect is limned as q
man who fled from his country to the land of
the free and the home of the brave, to shelter
himself from the vigilance of the law. He set
up business in small way as pugilist, and was
engaged as principal in several fights. He was
also kind enough to act as second in several Of
these elegant exhibitions. From prize fighting
to emigrant running is natural transition, and
our conscript father became runner. But the
emigrant business not being so lucrative as poll
tics, he determined to help save the Union and
be elected Alderman, in both of which attempts
his efforts were crowned with entire success
During the election the exuberance of his sup
porters showed itself in some picturesque knock
are only the playful exhibitions Of excited de-
mocracy. This Alderman makes pretty pic
ture, and we hope he will be appointed Chair
man of the Committee on Law. He must be
well versed in the criminal code. Another of
the Corporation has figured in the police reports
rather extensively during the past three months,
and has penchant for getting drunk and kick
ing up rows in disreputable houses. These pro-
badly are only the eccentricities of genius too
long pent up. Portrait number three is OF a
Councilman who is said to be tolerably well
known among the fancy" He recommended
himself to the sufrages Of the voters of his dis
trict by walking into station house and beat
ing policeman in his bed. He was dismissed
from the police for misconduct, and is now re-
turned by grateful community as member Of
the Corporation. A fourth Councilman is said
to be drunken lounger about engine houses
fifth, dealer in old boot legs; and an assessor
has been indicted as an accessory in a recent
murder.

RRLlos.-It is stated that party hunting in
Angelina county, Texas, found in cave two hu.
man bodies entirely petrifed, dressed in style
neither Indian nor European. The features and
dress were admirably preserved A garment
which must have reseinbled hunting shirt
seemed to have been worn by each, and partly
preserved by petrifcation, was distinctly visible
eesneciallv at its seams and folds. On the waist
ri one was buckle of pure gold, almost three
inches in diameter, securely embedded in the
hodv The features were not much shrunken
the ewes were partly closed, and even traces o.
the eyebrows could be seen plainly.

During the stormy days of 1s4s, four stalwart
mobocrats entered the bank of the late Baron
Anslem de Rothschild, of Frankfort.
You have millions on millions" said they to
him, "and we have nothing; You must divide
with u.s.
VERY well, what do you suppose the firm of
de Rothschlds is worth?"
"About forty millions of FORMS"
"Forty millions, you think, eh? Now there
are forty millions of people in Germany that
will be forin apiece. Here's yours"

THE BUa TRADE.-Bugs are an important. ar
ticle in the trade of Rio Janeiro. Their wings
are made into artificial flowers, and some OF the
most brilliant varieties are worn as ornaments
in ladies' hair. One man manages to earn his
living by selling insects and other specimens to
the strangers who visit port. He keeps twelve
slaves constantly employed in finding the bugs
serpents and shells which are mostly in demand,
The nearest approach to his business that we can
remember is, that of the trade of fire-aies in
Havana the insect being caught and carefully
fed on ont the sugar-caue is used as an ornament in
ladies' dresses. Being twice the size of the A.
merican fre-ay, it is very brilliant at night,
The creolcs catch them on the plantations and
sell them to the city bellies; some of them carry
ing them in silver cages attached to their brace
lets. They make fine display by lamp-Ight.-

Corn Song.

>oo~oN~~-OO-~~~~-~-@
Corn Song.
BY j. n. WHITTIER.
Heap high the farmers wintry board
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged Wales bestow,
To cheer US when the storm shall DRIFT
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales of grass, and meads of flowers
Our ploughs their burrows made,
While ON the hills the sun aud showers
Ofchangeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of Nay,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon,
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn moonht eyes,
Its harvest time has come
We plnck away its frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.
There, richer than the tabled gifts,
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken chain shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold
Let vapid idlers lollin silk,
Around their costly board;
Give us the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Where'er the wild old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly hearth,
And bless the farmer girls?
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Our wealth of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheatfeld to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for our golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.

THE BRETON WoMEN-Among the many
strange customs which mark the Breton peas
ants, there is none more remarkable than that
of wearing the hair, for while the men cultivate
long tresses hanging down to ther waists, and Of
which they are very prond. the women do not
show single lock, and the girl who might be
tempted by the beauty Of her checelurs to
allow q ringet to escape her closely-fitting cap,
would not only lose a chance of obtaining low.
er, but would be regarded by the young men as
a file per due that is coquettish girl unworthy
of their affections. To this strange custom ma
ny London and Paris ladies are indebted for the
magnificent hair that adorns their heads but
which was grown in the wilds Of Brittany.

In New Zealand, when the marriage cereno-
nv takes place, it is customary to knock the
heads of the bride and the bridegroom together
previous to the union:
In Christian lands it isn't so;.
The bridegroom and the bride
To loggerheads but seldom 60,
Until the knot is tied.

A MIRACULOUS BARREL.-More than one hum
dred bushels of apples, of the identical barrel"
wheeled from Newburyport to Boston, Mass. by
Major Poore, have been sold in the city at large
prices This barrel bids fair to rival Signor Bitzs
famous egg bag, as regards inexhaustibility.

There was an artess manner of announcing

PRIDE IN PR1soN.-'It is curious, sir, the van
ity of many of these women whispered our in
telligent guide, in tour through Midland prls-
on. Those straw bonnets none Of them can
bear, and it is much as ever we can DO to make
them put them on when they are going to ., see e;
the doctor. They think they look better in their
caps. One woman, give you my word, took
the ropes off her hammock, and put them around
the bottom of her dress, so as to make the skirt
seem fuller. Another had filled her gown with
Goals around for the same object, and Others a.
gain, have taken the wire from around the am
ner-cans and used them as stitfeners to their
stays. One actually took the tinfoil from under
the buttons, and made it into ring. You would
not believe it, perhaps, but have known tne
woman to scrape the walls of their cells and use
the powder of the whitewash to whiten their
complexion. Indeed, there is hardly any trick
they would not he at, if we did not keep sharp
eve upon them.'-The Great World Of London

VALUABLE MNE.-Mr. A. G. Webster, living
on the old road to Hackensack, about mile
from the New York turnpike, and two miles
from the Passac bridge, at East Newark, some
two wears ago discovered on his property pe-
culiar rock, which was found very useful for
fertlizing, and also for making paint, and it led
to the formation of manufacturing Company,
which purchased the land from Mr.. W. for 1850
900. They continued selling the land for fer
tilizing purposes, until recently, when 1t was
discovered that the stone contained about four
per cent. of nickel, and also large proportion
of oxide of lime and cobalt, and small portion
of silver, which parties in Europe had known
for long time, and had been purchasing the
rock at $15 per ton for the purpose of extracting
these valuable substances A steam mill was
recently erected for the purpose of grinding the
rock into powder, and about twenty men are
constantly employed who turn out from 300 to
400 barrels week, each barrel weighing 400
pounds. This is the second and the richest dis
covery of nickel in the United States, and prom
ises to be very profitable, the mine being esti-
mated to be worth millions of dollars A shaft
is now being sunk, and other improvements
made to carry on the business with more facli-
Ity-NewarE Adrertiser.
