CURIOUS FACT.

Recently we published paragraph
from an Alabama paper, stating that q
slave of Mr.. John HI. Hundley had three
children at a birth, two of whom were
black and one white. The fact coming 10
the knowledge of our scientific townsmau,
Peter A. Browne, Esq, who has been
making many interesting researches and
Investigations into the different character
istics of hair and wool, induced him to
address the owner of the slave, with a
view of obtaining specimen of the pill
Gus covering ofthe heads of the children
MIR. IL. politely complied with his wish,
and sent him specimens of the fathers
and mothers hair, of the two black chill
dren, and also specimen of that of the
white child. The result of Mr.. Browns
Investigations established the curious fact
the white child is black Albinos, its pile
being just as much wool-the characters
tic OF the negro-as that of the two black
children, who are pure negroes, from a
pure negro father and mother. We have
here the solution of the phenomenon
which has confounded the physician, and
which he has been disposed to explain by
the presumption of intercourse with both
white and black on the part of the mo-
ther. III some instances this presumption
may be correct, but the practical benefit
of Mr.. Browns investigation is, that
doubt in such cases may be settled deter
mnateiy by an examination of the pile

CURIOUS FACTS.

The greyhound runs by eye-sight only,
and this we observe as a fact. The car.
rier-pIgeon flies his two hundred and fifty
miles homeward, by-eye sight, viz. from
point to point of objects which he has
marked; but this is only our conjecture.
The feree-fy, with twelve thousand
lenses IN his eyes, darts from angle to
angle with the rapidity of flashing sword,
and as rapidly darts back not turning in
the air, but with clash reversing the ac-
ton ofhls wings, the only known creature
that possesses this faculty. His sight
then, both forwards and backwards. must
be proportionately rapid with his wings,
and instantaneousIy calculating the dis
tanee of objects. or he would hash himself
to pieces. But in what conformation of
his eye does this consist No one can
answer.
A cloud of ten thousand gnats dance up
and down in the sun, the mlnutest interval
between them, yet no one knocks another
headlong upon the grass, or breaks leg
or a wing, long and delicate as these are.
Suddenly, amidst your admiration of this
matehless dance, peculiarly high shoul-
dered vicious gnat, with long, pale, pend
ant nose, darts out ofIhe rising and falling
cloud, and settling on your cheek inserts
a poisonous sting. What possessed the
little wretch,to do this! No one knows.
A four horse coach suddenly comes
upon flock Of geese on Il narrow road,
and drives straight through The middle Of
them. A goose was never yet fairly run
over, nor duck. They are under the
very wheels and yet, somehow, they con
tihue TO flap aud waddle safely off. Habi-
tnally stupid, heavy and indoient, they are
nevertheless equal to any emergency.
Why does the lonely woodpecker, when
he tlescends his tree, and goes to drink,
stop several times on his way, listed and
around, before he takes his draught! No
one knows.
How is it that the species of ant, which
is taken in battle by other ants to be
made slaves, shonld be the black or negro
ant No one knows.
A large species of the star fish possesses
the power Of breaking itself into frag-

or despair.

A Live Snake I'm :. Live 7Eam.

4 gentleman, whose name we did not
learn, says the San Francisco Golden
Eagle, arrived in this city from Birds
advice III relation to the possibility of re-
moving from the stomach large snake,
which has inhabited that locality for the
past fifteen years. Exactly at which time
the reptile was taken into the stomach, the
sufferer is not aware. He felt its presence
in the vicinity of the kidneys many years
ago; but the pains experienced, although
sometime acute and troublesome, occa-
! stoned no alarm until about two years
since, when, one day feeling quite unwcII,
he placed his hand upon his bowels, and
distinctly felt the snake crawling within
hum. Since then it has grown enormously,
and has attained Il length of at least fif-
teen inches, and a size round the middle
OF five or six inches. lis proportions can
be pretty accurately ascertained, as its
entire shape is fearfnlIy obvious to the
touch. tits quite active, and possesses an
Unsuitable appetite, Judging from the a.
mount OF food and water consumed by
the sufferer, who is continually parched
with thirst, and not unfrequently requires
from three to four gallons of fluid daily.
Through the recommendation of an
Indian, he has lately found considerable
relief from the incessant thirst by drink
ingwater literally diffused with vinegar
lie has made several Intellectual attempts
to dislodge the 'varmint' by starvation and
free use of stimnlaAts. On one occasion.
he abstained from both food and water
for three days, in the hope of bringing
the occupant to some sort of terms. The
first day, the snake became uneasy; the
second boisterous; and the third, furious,
but still the man held out
At the end of he third day, however,
his snakeship commenced an attack upon
the walls of his prison, with what appear
ed tolerable full set of teeth, and the re-
suit was an immediate supply of food
more agreeable to both parties. As may
be supposed, the man is reduced to per-
feet skeleton, under the extreme torture
ofmlnd and body preying upon him night
and day, but he does not despair of find
ing surgeon in the city sufficiently skill
full to make an incision in the abdomen
and remove the reptile.
We have read of similar cases; but this |
is the first that ever came under our own
observation, and we hope it may be the
last, for we have felt 'all overish' ever
since.

Infamous BLACK Mail system.

We have heretofore alluded to the man
ner in which the poor clerks in the De-
partment at Washington are made to
bleed, to increase the fund for purchasing
Democratic votes, and have seen the state
| ment denounced as a slander. In an
article on the subject, the Washington
Organ says:
Be it then known; land we hold oursel-
YES responsible for the truth of the state
ment, that few weeks since, a meeting
Kof sundry leading friends Of Mr.. Bucha-
nan holding high positions under this ad-
mlnlstration, was held at the room of one
of said friends, high in office, in the
Treasury building, at which meeting it
was made known, by information com
municated by certain other Federal digni~
tarics of this city, that funds were required
tomeet the exigencies of the pending crisis,
and tlIereUpon an officer of the Treasury
offered resolution to the following effect
to-Wit:
That the Heads Of Bureaus should be

ceiying salaries of 81 ,800or 50 900 should

les Of 81 600 should subscribe SI5 each,
those receiving salaries of 81, 400 should
subscribe Sl2 so each, and those receiv-
ing $1,000 should subscribe $40 each,
and so on.
This resolution was amended by sub
stituting the word solicited for the word
required, and in this shape it passed un-
animousIy. We have the names of the
dignitaries then PRESENT. These sums
were to he paid out of the salaries for the
month Of September,
About $4,000 was subscribed in the
Treasury Department alone, aud it is es-
timated that the amount Of subscriptions
in all the Departments, amounted to $2,-
900. This money, and five times as
much more, it is said upon good authori-
ty, is being raised in Pennsylvania, to
persuade the people of that State to vote

The Deacon, during a temporary ab-

prudent Captain, had faithfully copied
