CURIous MoroNs.-Procure basin Of
milk-warm water, throw into it half
dozen pieces of camphor about the size Of
pea in a moment they will begin to
move, and acquire rotary and progress
sive motion, which will so continue for a
considerable length of time. If now one
drop of oil of turpentine, or of sweet oil,
or even gin, be let fall upon the water,
the pieces of camphor will dart away,
and then be deprived of their motion and
vivacity. Little pieces of cork that have
been soaked in ether, act much the same
as camphor when thrown upon water.
Camphor being highly combustible,
will burn if ignited while floating upon
water, producing a singular effect. re-
minding rs of the lamps which the Hin
doc maidens cast upon the waters of the
Ganges, as the mystic messenger to their
distant lovers.

A KHoTTY TExr.-There was once an
itinerant preacher in West Tennessee,
who. possessing considerable natural slo-
quence, had gradually become possessed
with the idea that be was also an extrsor-
binary Biblical scholar. Under this de-
lusion, he would frequently, at the close
OF his sermon, ask any of his congrega-
tion, who might have "knotty text to
unraVel, to speak it, and he would ex-
plain it at once, however much it might
have troubled "less distinguished di-
vines." On this occasion, in large au-
dience, he was particularly pressing for
some one to PROFOUND text, but no one
preSuming to do so, he was about to sit
down without an opportunity of showing
his learning, when 8 chap by the door
announced that be had Bible matter of
great concarn." The preacher quite
an;mstedly profsssed his willingness and
ability, and the congregation was in great
excitement.
What I want to know" said the 9TH
or, " Is. whether Jobs turkey was hen
or . gobbler ?"
The expoundeS looked confused, and
the congregation Uttered, as the question
er capped the Gilman, by exclaiming, II
fotoh him down on the first question I"
From that time forward, the practice
OF ssking for difficult passages" was
avoided.

NERVOUSNESS OF THE DoG.-The ner-
vous system in this creature is largely
developed, and extending an influence
over all its actions, gives character to the
beast. The brain of the dog is seldom
in repose; for even when asleep, the
twitching of the legs. and the suppressed
sounds which it emits, inform us that it
is dreaming. No animal is more actua-
ted by the power of imagination. Who
is there that has not seen the dog mistake
objects during the dusk of the evening.
Delibrium usually precedes its death, and
nervous excitsbility is the common ac-
compartment of most Of its disorders.
To diseases of a cerebral or spinal char
acter it is more liable than any other
domesticated animal. Its very bark is
symbolical of its temperament, and its
mode of attack energetically declares the
excitability of its nature. The most fear
full of all the diseases to which it is ex-
posed (rabid J is essentially of nervous
character, and there are few of its disor-
ders which do not terminate with symp-
toms indicative of cranial Disturbance
This tendency to cerebral affections will,
if properly considered, suggest those
casual and appropriate acts which the
dog in affliction may require, and which
it would be impossible for any author
fully to describe. Gentleness should at
all times be practiced but to be truly
gentle, the reader must understand it is
imperative to be firm. Hesitation to an
irritable being, is, or soon becomes, posi-
tive torture.--Mdyhew's Dogs.

Improvement in Making Butter.

NJ. Chamemabel proposes to introduce
modification in the process of making
butter, by which the latter will be i'm.
proved and rendered capable of being
longer kept in 9 fresh state. Ifbutter
contained the fat or oily part of milk, it
would but slowly undergo changes from
contact with the air. but it retains a GER
tain quantity Of casein, which, transform
ed by fermentation, because it gives rise
to butyric acid, to which rancid butter
owes its disagreeable taste. Washing
does not effsctually remove this cause Of
alteration, for water cannot act upon but
ter, nor can it separate the casein which
becomes insoluble under the influence of
acids developed in cream. A more COM
plete publication may, however, be effect.
ed if we ssturate or neutralize these acids;
the casein viii then be rendered soluble,
and, consequently, the butter will only
retain it in very small quantities, in state
in which it may be almost entirely re-
moved by washing.
NJ. Chamemabel proposes to operate as
follows: When the cream is put into
the churn. pour in little by little-and
working the churn at the same time-a
quantity of milk of lime sufficient to des-
troy all acidity churn till the butter
separates, but not till It forms into Jumps,
as is usually done; strain off the butter
milk and put cold water In its stead along
with the butter in the churn continue
churning till the butter is sufficiently col
lected then take it out and make it up
in Jumps or rolls in the usual way. The
butter which has been made according to
this method has always proved better,
and kept much longer fresh than that OBJ
tanned by the usual mode of proceeding
The buttsrmilk was free from all acid
taste, and was much relished by those
persons who used it, and by animals. 1t
had also lost its laxative properties
Washing with lime-water has also re-
stored butter previously so tainted that
it could not be used except for melting.
ANY other alkaline wash may be substi-
tutsd for lime-water.

PAINFUL, But LAUGHABLE.-In Notes
OF an Army Surgeon" we find the fol-
lowing -
II remember one day, in making nv
hospital rounds. a patient Just arrived
presented an amputated forearm, and in
doing so, could hardly restrain a broad
laugh; the litter was constantly on his
face.
What is the matter? this does not
strike me as a subject of laughter
1T is not, doctor, but excuse me; |
lost my arm in SO funny way, that |
still laugh when / look at it,
What way @
Our first sergeant wanted shaving, and
got me 10 attend to it, as am corporal.
We went together in trent of his tent i;
l had lathered him, took him by the nose.
and was just applying the razor, when a
cannon ball came, and that was the last
l saw of his head and my arm. Excuse
me- doctor, for laughing so; but never
saw such thing before.
This occurred during the siege of Fort
Erie

A New GUS.-A new fre-arm has
been patented by j. W. Post, of this
city 1t is repeating rife which can
be loaded and discharged thirty times a
minute is light and convenient, has but
one discharging barrel and does not re-
volve. Under the barrel-in place of the
ramrod in other guns-is a tube which
receives thirty acorn-shaped, waterproof
balls, each containing within itself pow
der and percussion for propulsion. The
act of cooking the piece places ball in
the breach, and the whole thirty may be
discharged in the most rapid succession.
At late trial. the gun was discharged
ten times in ten seconds. The ball is
shaped like that of the MIME rife, and
the gun itself is calculated as well for
long distances as rapid fring.-N y.

A TOUCHING CUsToM.-A common
practice in Paris, which impresses a
stranger favorably, is that of lifting or
taking off the hat when a funeral passes.
A writer on this subject relates the fol-
lowing -
"Some years since, We were one of that
rushing crowd ever pouring up and down
Broadway. When in front of old St.
Paul's, all eyes were attracted by the APP
pearance of the crew Of the French war
vessel, La Belle Poule, which then visited
the United States under the command of
the Prince de Joinville. The crew were
in their naval dress uniform, bright and
beautiful, and were sauntering along see
ing the sights. All at once they stopped,
formed line, faced inward, and uncov-
cred. How exquisite and touching was
the scene when we discovered in that
thoughtless, busy, hurrying crowd, man
of foreign birth, evidently poor and
friendless, under whose arm was carried
a tiny coffin, and by his side the stricken
mother. They were in search of burial
for their babe, and were iostled and un-
needed in that gay torrent of humanity,
until they met these hardy tempest-tossed
mariners, who on the instant, with barred
heads, stood in silent respect, while the
sacred ashes of the unknown infant were
passing. Such are French manners.
