SPORTS OF ANIMALs.-Small birds chase
each other in play but perhaps the con-
duct OF the crane and the tfumpeter is the
most extraordinary. The latter stands on
one leg, and hops about in the most strange
manner, and throws somersets. Hence it
has been called the mad bird. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese dive after
each other, and clear the surface of the wa
ter with erected necks and tapping wings.
throwing abundant spray around Deer
often engage in sham battle, OF trial of
strength, by twisting their hons together
and pushing for mastery. All animals
pretending violence in their play stop short
of exercising it. The dog takes the pre-.
caution not to injure by his bite and the
baboon in wrestling with his keeper pre-
tends to throw him, and makes feints of
hitting him. Some animals carry out in
their play the semblance of catching their
prey. Young cats, for instance, leap after
every small moving object, even to the
leaves strewed by the autumn wind they
crouch and steal forward, ready for q
spring. The body quivering and the eyes
glaring with emotion, they bound on the
Leaf, and again spring forward to another.
Birds of the magpie tribe are the analogies
ofmonkeys, full ofmischief, play, and MIN
icry. | once heard story of a tame mag
pie that was seen busily employed in a
garden gathering pebbles, and with much
solemnity and studying air burying them
IN hole made to receive post. After
dropping each stone it cried "Curraofi' tri-
umphantly, and set off for another. On
examining the spot, a poor toad was found
IN II the hole, which the magpipe was stoning
for his amusement.

"A CASE OF FCIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
The following anecdote, opropos of the
gold medals-some of them of great value
which the French government is dis
tributing to the members of the Interna-
tional Jury and others, is related by the
French correspondent of the "Courrier
des Etats Unis."
The scene is laid in drawing-room in
Paris. One of the company was showing
gold medal which had been awarded him,
and which was worth five thousand francs.
The medal passed from hand to hand, and
when, half an hour afterwards, the owner
asked for it again, it could not be found.
Every nook and corner was searched, but
in vain. This sudden disappearance pro-
duced considerable agitation in the com
pany, which was select, but numerous, and
finally some one proposed that every one
should be searched, the men by the men
and the women by the women. All the
persons present eagerly signifed their as
sent, with the exception of single indi-
vidual, who had been presented that very
night for the first time in the house. This
man declared very calmly, but very deci-
dedly, that he could not consent to be
searched. The effect these words pro-
duced may easily be imagined. 1t was no
longer doubted that he was the robber, and
the gentleman who introduced him was
more dead than alive.
The master of the house was about tur-
ming the supposed thief into the street,
and the owner of the medal had already
entreated the company to forget the cir
cumstance, when lady having risen from
her seat, 10 the missing medal suddenly
fell out of one Of the founces other dress,
into which it had accidentally slipped and
buried itself. The sensation produced by
this sudden denouement was prodigious. A
cry of joyful surprise resounded through
out the room. The individual suspected
of the theft was declared innocent.
Renouncing thereupon the stoical calm
ness, verging on Indifference, which had
hitherto characterized his demcanor,
'sThis," said he, gentlemen, is the expla-
nation of my conduct, which doubtless
seemed to you inexplicable. If | would
not consent to be searched, it was because
| was stranger to every one present, with
one exception, and because, BY q strange
coincidence-so strange that no one would
have believed it possible-I had on my
person medal exactly similar to the one
that was lost" He then produced the
medal, which, ifit had been found on him
would have ruined him in quarter of an
hour before, but which was now but an ad-
ditional proof of his innocence This in
cident, which I myself witnessed, is but
another proof Of the uncertainty Of human
judgments.

UNCLE SAMuEL.-Uncle Sam was born
a nation eighty years ago; since then he
has whipped his mother and one of his
brothers, thrashed the Barbary cousins,
threatened France and made her pay up,
and cleared decks for battle with Austria.
He has set an example for liberty and
popular power that has thoroughly fright
ened the despots Of the Garth and periled
their ancient thrones. He has grasped a
continent and is fast covering it with a
free, educated and thriving people He
has built more ships than any other ma
ton in the same time, and his flag is now
seen on every ocean and sea, and in every
harbor and river. He has built more
steamboats,, more railways, more telegraph
lines, more school houses, more churches,
more cities, bigger babies, in that 70 years
than any other nation in 500 years. And
has printed more newspapers, made more
speeches, and has done more Dragging
than any other nation has done in a thou
sand years.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gd
sette states that clergyman in Pittsburgh,
Pa, lately married lady, with whom he
received the substantial eowr5 of $4,000
and fair prospect for more. Shortly af-
terward, while occupying the pulpit, he
gave out hymn, read the first four YER
ses, and was proceeding to read the fifth,
commencing:
Forever, let my grateful heart,
when he hesitated, balked, and exclaimed,
"Ahem the choir will omit the fifth
verse;" and sat down.
IT, congregation, attracted by his ap-
parent confusion, VA the {crse for tbom
selves, and smiled almost audibly as a.,

Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grac adore,
Which gives ten thous and blessing now
And bids me hope for MORE"

Professor Mitchell closed ore Of his re-
cent lectures with the following magnif-
cent illustration: Describing the gradual
tendency of the earth S orbit to assume the
circular form, he said its short diameter
was gradually lcngtheuing, and would con-
tinue so to expand until it should become
perfectly circular, when it would again
contract to its original shape and ditnen-
sions. And so the earth would vibrate
periodically, and these periods were meas
ured by millions upon millions of years
"Thus," said Professor NJ, 'thc earth
will continue to swing back and forth.
and to and fro, in the heavens, like great
pendulum beating the seconds of eternity {"

BEAUTIFUL SMILE. Sir Waiter Scott
in his Woodstock, remarks, With rare fe-
licity: "There is, know not why, some
thing peculiarly pleasing to the imagina-
ton, in contemplating the Queen Of Night,
when she is ,cading, as the expression Is,
among the vapors which she has not the
power to dispel, end which on their side
are unable entirely to qucnch her lustrc.
1t is the striking image of patien. Virtue,
calmly trcading her path through good
and bad report, having that excellence III
herself which ought to command all adm'f-
ration, but bedimmed in the eyes of the
world, BY suffering, by misfortune, by ca
lamity'

The productions of gold for the use of
the world are principally obtained from
the superficial deposits. The reason why
it IS generally supposed that quartz is the
matrix which produces the gold, is because
the precious metal, after precipitation,
adhercs more strongly to Gu rtz than to-
the other aurifcrous rocks. Although the
quartz-orc bands produce occasionally
larger masses cf gold, yet the quantity
bears but a Very small proportion to that
which is obtained from the ferruginous aud
talcose states. The richest auriferous
bands are SO subject, on being exposed to
the air or moisture, to rapid dceomposi.
ton, as to render it impossible TO prescrTe
the specimens.

PRACTIcAL JoKE.--We are reminded,
says the Baltimore Patriot, of on attempt
made, many years ago, to play practical
joke by fobbing watch-the parties being
two Baltimoreans on their return from Nj
agara Falls through the State of New
York. The parties slept in the same
room at village inn. A. Irising before
B., and espying watch hanging against
the wall, which he supposed belonged to
his fellow lodger, he put it in his pocket,
with the view of inducing his friend to sup
pose that it had been stolen. b., who
was yet in bed, seeing the manoeuvre, BIZ
ded his time for the denouement. N 9TH
ing was said by either party until about
noon, when they were some twenty miles
from the inn. A. now asked B. the time
of day. B. replied that he could not give
the required information, as he had left
his watch in Baltimore to be repaired
This was literally true, for the watch that
B. carried was loaned to him by the watch
maker with whom hts own watch had been
left for repairs.
"Sam % exclaimed A, "wasn't that
your. watch that was hanging IN The room
we slept in last tight;"
"It certainly was not,' replied B., Gas
l told you before, 1 left mine in Baltimore
for repairs"
"Then," remarked A with much agi-
tation, "I have got into bad scrape, for
I took this watch from the room! What
shall I do Z"
"Why," returned B., aretrace your
steps, return the watch and state the cir
cumstances under which you took it,"
This advice was Immediately taken, and
poor A.. "solitars and alone," started of
for the inn. B. now informed the Other
members of the party the facts of the
case,-when they all followed, without
however, ovcrtaking him until he arrived
at the inn, when they made their appear.
ance and an explanation was had. Thu:
was A. sorely punished-as practical jo
kers are apt to be-and probably did no
again attempt to hoax SO qulck-wittcd 9
