Is SEBAsToPoL DESTROYED? ?-The Russian Gov
ernment has devoted five millions of roubles to re-
build Sebastopo 1t may be said that this sum is
intended to reconstruct the r.catous or to restore
the great public buildings, such as the hospital or
the churches which were destroyed by the allied
armies It is true that the treaty of Paris forbids
the rebuilding of the southern fortresses, but we
imagine that the stipulation will not be rigidy
observed and, besides, the northern defenses which
haze nerer been taken, may be made more impreg
nable than ever. while slight alteration in the har
Dor will render Sebastopol stronger than when
walls. 77
Il Is believed that Sebastopo will be retained as
naval and military arsenal
Admiral Putiatin, who was entrusted with special
mission TO the Court of Pekin, but whose progress
through China was much impeded by the mandarins
mas since arrived on the Amoor where he undertakes
tne saperntendence of the Russian feet and as soon
as ne shall find himself at the head of sufficient
force, he will obtain either by fair or foul means an
entrance into the Celestial Kingdom.

Talk of opening oysters" said old Hurrican,
why nothings easier, if you only knew how.''
And how's how n inquired Starlight, "iScotch
snuff" answered old Hnrrican, very sententously.
"Scotch snuff. Bring little of it ever so near their
noses, and they sneeze their lids off" "I know
genius" observed Meister Karle, "who has better
plan. He spreads the byalves in CIRCLE seats him
self in the centre and begins spinning yarn. Some
times it's an adventure in Mexico sometimes mar
yellons stock transaction. As he proceeds the ma
tiyes get interested-one by one they cape with
which are poured forth, and as they gape my friend
whips 'em out, peppers 'em, and swallows 'em.'

The magnitude of the store, the piles on piles of

VOCAL MACHINERY OF BIRDs.--It is difficult to ac-
count Tor so small creature as bird making tone
as loud us some animals thousand times its size !:
but recent discovery has shown that in birds the
lungs have several openings communicating with cor
responding air bags or cells, which fill the whole cav.
ity OF the body from the neck downward, and into
which the air passes and repasses in the progress of
breathing. This is not all The very bones are hol-
low, from which air pipes are conveyed to the most
solid parts OF the body even into the quilts and feath
ers The air being rarhed by the heat of their body
body, they dart down from the greatest heights
with astonishing velocity. No doubt the same ma.
chinery forms the basis of their vocal powers and at
once resolves the mystery.

his charity but, although be can always lind money
when the necessities of the poor are in question yet
when his valet represents to him that parts OF his
wardrobe need rePlenishing, he makes an excuse
that the poor require assistance aud that it will be
days since the valet, desparing of ever persuading
his master that some new shirts were absolutely
necessary for him, adopted an ingenious scheme to
effect that purpose. He informed the Archbishop
that poor gentleman was in such distress that he
could rot purchase linen to make the respectable
appearance he was required TO do, and the Arch,
bishop Immediately gave him money for that purpose
On dressing, some days after, the Archbishop said
that the shirt given him by his valet was new one

replied that II had been purchased with the money
the Archbishop had given him - for that poor gen
