der his weight, his countenance assumes a
still more indicative expression, his bark
then changes to roar, and the foam pours
out from his jaws till it froths his beard.
Given when not excited, he manages his
tusks bravely. They are so strong that he
uses them to grapple the rocks with, and
climbs sleeps of ice and land, which would
be inaccessible to him without their aid
He ascends in this way rocky islands that
are sixty and hundred feet above the lev
ell of the sea and | have myself seen him
in these elevated positions, basking with his
young in the cool sunshine of August and
September.
''He can strike fearful blow; but pre-
fers charging with his tusks in soldierly
manner. / do not doubt the old stories Of
the Spitzbergen fisheries and Cherle Island
where the walrus put to flight the crowds Of
European boats. Awuk is the lion Of the
Danish Esquimeux, and they always speak
of him with respect.
II have heard of comiaks being detained
for days at time at the crossings of straits
and passages which he infested Governor
Flaischer told me that, in 1880, brown
walrus, which according to the Esquimaux
is the fercest after being lanced and main-
ed near Uppernavik, routed his numerous
assailants, and drove them in fear to seek
for help from the settlement. His move
ments were so violent as to jerk out the har.
poons that were struck into him. The Gov
ernor slew him with great difficulty, after
several rihe-shots and lance-wounds from
his whale boat.

CREATION OF THE HUMAN RACE.-Dr.
Hitchcock the eminent geologist, said, in a
recent discourse, delivered by him in Alba
ny, that geological science places man "a
mong the most recent of created things
We find the surface of the earth (says, DR..
B. composed, to the depth Of some eight or
ten miles, of rocks. These rocks are full Of
the remains of animals and plants. Thirty
thousand species Of them, which differ from
any living species, have been disinterred,
yet no human remains are found among
them until the loose soil-alluvium is reach
ed, which soil is universally acknowledged
to be of recent origin. The remains of 9TH
er animals are found several thousand feet
below the surface; while the fossil remains
of man have never been found so low as one
hundred feet below the surface. But if fman
had been in existence when these other ami
mails lived, whose remains would also have
been found there for his bones are of the
same structure as theirs, and consequently
no less likely to resist destruction.

Mrs. Bloomer imagines that the reason
that women differ from men, is because they
are schooled and educated differently. No
thing, however, could be more unfounded.
Girls differ from boys, not identically, but
radically. The first thing boy does after
he is weaned, is to straddle the banisters,
and ride down stairs The first thing girl
sets her heart on is doll and set OF halt
nedged cups and saucers. Girls are given
to neatness and hate soiled garments of all
kinds; boys, on the contrary. set high
value on dirt, and are never so happy as
when sailing a shingle ship, with brown
paper sail, in mud puddle. Mrs. Bloom

HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN.
There is nothing in the world that we
think so much of as we do of women Our
mother is woman-wife sisters, pretty
cousins, are women and the daughters will
be if (Heavcn spare them y they live long
enough And then there is a love of wo-
men in general which we do not deny. 4
fine magnificent specimen of the sex, full of
life and health, ripe red cheek, and fash
ing eye, is, something that does one good
to look at as she illuminates the humdrum
sidewalks, and every day streets. A North
River Steamer under full headway, with
colors flying is rather a pretty sight, ,-rath-
er stirring and inspiring; and we pull up
our tired nag to see her pass and admire
the swell, she cuts Comparatively, how
ever, the steamer sinks into insignifcance,
or some other very deep water, by the side
Of a well kept, well dressed woman. There
is no rubbing it out; women are the orna-
ment, charm, blessing, beauty and bliss Of
life,-(men's life, we mean, of course. y
ANY means that can be devised for preserv.
ing them should be publicly made known

HORSES CoArs.-L Lately going to the
country to spend a few weeks with friend
of mine, I drove very handsome horse,
and good 'un-but was always annoyed
about his coat, as it was more like lot OF
bristles than horses smooth skin, and all
the grooming he could get ''wouldn't do it
no good" Ny friend, who is great horse
breeder and fancier, made me try giving
him few carrots every day out Of my hand,
saying that he would have a good smooth
coat in three weeks-and he was right, for
in that time my horse had beautiful, sleek,
glossy coat, and all from eating a. few raw
carrots daily. He tells me it is infallible.-
Porter's Spirit.
ADVICE Don't be sentimental-it is bad
for digestion.
Remember, the best tonic is fun, and the
best physician is joker.
For giving tone to the stomach, one
good hearty laugh is worth all the pills that
we're ever paid for or patented.
Cheerfullness is moral armor. 1t pro-
tects the mind from the jayelins of dyspep-
sia, and makes it as impregnable to the as
saults of duns and unliquidated dun bills as
Gibralter is to pop-guns.

FRIGHTENING A SQUATTER.-About thir-
teen years ago, when the now fourishing
city of Hannibal, on Mississippi river, was
but woodward, surrounded by few huts
belonging to some hardy squatters, and such
thing as steamboat was considered quite
sight, the following incident occurred -
A tall, brawny woodsman stood leaning
against tree upon the bank of the river.
and gazing at some approaching object,
which easily might be dicovered to be a
steamboat.
About half an hour elapsed, and the boat
was moored, and the hands busily engaged
in taking Oh wood.
Now, among the many passengers was
spruce young dandy, with killing NOUS
tache, &C., who seemed bent on making an
impression by some heroic deed.
Observing our squatter friend, he imag-
ined this to be a fine opportunity to bring
himself into notice. So, stepping into the
cabin, he said,-
Ladies, if you want to enjoy good
laugh, step out into the guards. [ intend
to frighten that gentleman into fits who now
stands on the bank
The ladies complied with the request, and
the dandy drew from his pocket formida-
bic bowie knife and thrust it into his belt;
then taking large horse-pistol in each
hand, he strobe On shore.
Marching up to the woodsman he ex-
claimed
"Found you at last have I? You are
the fellow I've been looking after these three
long weeks. Say your prayers! Che contin-
ued, presenting his pistols,) you'll make a
capital barn door, and shall drill the key
hole myself"
| The squatter calmly surveyed him mo-
ment, and then drawing back a step he
planted his huge fist directly between the
ewes of his antagonist, who, in a moment
was houndering in the midst of the turbid
waters of the Mississippi.
Every passenger on the boat had by this
time collected on the guards, and the crest
fallen hero, as he was sneaking off towards
the boat was thus accosted by his conquer

A Polite JuDGE.-Governor Ford, Of
Illinois, tells an anecdote Of one the early
Judges of that State, but the Governor does
not put upon record the name of the consd-
crate magistrate.
At the court over which this judge pre-
sided, man by the name of Green was con-
ivicted Of murder, and the judge was oblig-
led to pass sentence of death upon the cul-
prit. Calling on the prisoner to rise, the
judge said to him: ''NIr. Green, the jury
say you are guilty of murder, and the law
says you are to be hung. ] want you and
all your friends down ON Indian creek to
know that it is not that condemns you it
! is the jury and the law. Mr.. Green, at
what time, sir, would you like to be hung?
The law allows you time for preparation"
The prisoner replied, MAY it please your
honor, [ am ready at any time; those who
kill the body, have no power to kill the
soul. My preparation is made, and you can
fix the time to suit yourself; it is all tho
same to me, sir
'Mr Green" returned the Judge cit is
very serious matter to be hung. 1t can't
happen to man but once in his life, unless
the rope should break before his neck is
broke, and you had better take all the tino
you can get. Mr.. Clerk, since it makes no
difference to Mr.. Green when he is hung,
just look into the almanac, and see whether
this day four weeks comes on Sunday"
The clerk looked as he was directed, and
reported that that day four weeks came on
Thursday.
"Then," said the judge, "Mr. Green, if
you please, you will be hung this day four
weeks at II o'clock"
The Attorney General, James Turney.
Esq, here interposed, and said: MAY it
please the court on occasion of this sort it is
usual for courts to pronounce formal SEN
tence, to remind the prisoner Of his perilous
condition, to reprove him for his guilt, and
to warn him against the judgment in the
world to come"
ooh, Mr.. Turney said the judge, "Mr.
Green understands the whole matter; he
rhas got to be hung. You understand it.
Mr. Green, don't you!'
Certainly" said the prisoner
'Mr. Sheriff, adjourn the court"
-Four weeks from that day, 1Ir. Green
was hung but not so much to his on salts
faction as his appearance promised on the
.dar OF his conziction. on.---=-----..----.--.--.
