Men WiTn TArLs.-All the scientific
research bestowed on Africa fails to con.
firm the reported existence of caudatod
race of negroes in the interior of Africa.
Mr. Il. j. Bowen, who spent several
years in the interior of Central Africa
as a missionary of the Southern Baptist
Board, makes the following mention Of
it in his recently published narrative

with whom he conversed, he says
The Moors and Arabs who had been
overy whore, had told them wonderful
stories Of still other countries and tribes
far off in the east. Somewhere on the
other side of Yakobu is tribe of people
called Alakere, none Of whom are moro
than three feet in height. The chiefs
are a little taller than the common peo.
pie. The Alakeare are very ingenious
people, especially in working iron, aud
they are so industrious that their towns
are surrounded by iron walls. Beyond
these are tribe called Alabiru, who have
short iu9exible tails. AS the stiffness
of their tails prevents the Albiru from
sitting fat on the ground, every man
carries sharp pointed stick, with which
be drills hole in the earth to teceivo
his tail while sitting They arc indus
trious manufacturers of iron bars, which
they sell to surrounding tribes. All the
fine swords in Sudan are made from this
iron. The next tribe in order are the
A1abiwoe, who have small goat-like
horn projecting from the middle of tho
forehead For all that, they are nice
kind of black people and quite intelligent,

Rather tough. But Mr.. Bowen docs
not seem to regard this testimony as cou'

How ANIMALS Cool OfF.-Dr. Van
derburg, in an address before the New
York Academy of Medicine, among other
things, says -" The genus homo, and
genus heme, have double privilege of
refrigeration, while all other animated be-
ings have but one. You may be surpris-
ed to learn that no ether beings sweat
except men and horses and hence no 9TH
er beings can cool themselves, when hot.
by perspiration through the skin. The
confirmation of this fact is found in the
whole range of comparative anatomy,
where nature has furnished examples, on
the most extended scale of magnitude, in
the whole animal world, in the largest as
well as the smallest of beings.
"In all the pachydermata, or thick
skinned animals, except the horse, are
found no pores in the skin that exhale
heat by perspiration, the envelope of these
animals being only secreling surface,
like others of the internal surface Of the
body. All the cleft-feet species, includ-
ing those presenting feet, with toes round
ed and unprovided with claws-the ele-
phant, rhinoceros, bison, mammoth, mas
tadon, buffalo, OK, swine, deer, as well as
the lion, tiger, bear, wolf, fox, birds,
squirrels, dormouse, opossum, raccoon,-
all alike offer the same examples as the
dog, that they have no other means of
cooling themselves, when hot, except by
the medium of the lungs by respiration"

FEEDING CALvEs.-A calf should never
be changed suddenly from all milk to all
grass, but it should be brought about
gradually otherwise the growth may be
injurously affected.
The food with which they are fed has
powerful influence on the milking prop
critics of all cows; and the mode in which
they are reared has a considerable effect
on their capacity to give milk.
In milk we have all that is necessary
for the growth of the young animal, and
it is the type and representative of all
food for, unless an aliment contains the
principles of milk, it is not fitted for the
promotion of the health and perfect de-
vclopement of the body.

Earl Spencer, of England, who was very
successful in weaving his calves, fed them
first with new milk, and then with skim
milk and meal-the latter supplying the
necessary nitrogen and nitrogenized ma

is a necessity, but for all fatting animals
the reverse. Care also should be taken
not to expose them to the cold, and par

AGRICULTURE.

Extract from the Speech Of Hon. EDWARD Ev.
EhETT, ut the Meeting of The U. S. Agricultur-
al Society, at Boston, Mass, 1865.
1t is true the California gold will last
forever unchanged, if its owner chooses;
but, while it so lasts, it is of no use no,
not as much as its value in pig iron,
which makes the best Of ballast whereas
gold, while it is gold, is good for little or
nothing. You can neither eat it, nor
drink it, nor smoke it. You can neither
wear it, nor burn it as fuel, nor build
house with it; it is really useless till you
exchange it for consumable, perishable
goods and the more plentiful it is, the
less its exchangeable value. Far different
the case with our Atlantic gold; it does
not perish when consumed, but, by no.
bier alchemy than that of Paracelsus, is
transmitted in consumption to a higher
life "Perish in consumption" did the
old mser say? Thou fool, that which
thou sowest is not quickened eTcept it die"
The burning pen of inspiration, ranging
heaven and earth for similitude, to con-
vey to our poor minds some not made
quate idea Of the mighty doctrine of the
resurrection, can find no symbol SO ex-
pressive as L" bare grain, it may chance of
wheat or some other grain" To-day
sensclcss plant, tomorrow it is human
bone and muscle, vein and artery, sinew
and nerve; beating pulse, heaving lungs,
toiling, ah, sometimes, overtoiling brain.
Last June it sucked from the cold breast
Of the earth the watery nourishment of its
distending sap-vessels; and now it clothes
the manly form with warm, cordial flesh
quivers and thrills with the 6ve-fold mys-
terry of sense; purveys and ministers to
the higher mystery of thought. Heaped
up in your granaries this week, the next
it will strike in the stalwart arm, and
glow in the blushing check, and flash in
the beaming eye till We learn at last to
realize that the slender stalk, which we
have seen shaken by the summer breeze,
bending in the corn-feld under the yellow
burden of harvest, is indeed the " staff of
life" which, since the world began, has
supported the toiling and struggling myr-
lads of humanity on the mighty pilgrim
age Of being:

DAMASCUS, THE OLDEST CRY IN THE
WoRLp.-The oldest city in the world, is
unlike most other ancient cities; its pros
perity has been comparatively uninter-
rupted. The waves of many wars have
rolled over it the city and the plain have
often been deluged with blood but the
traces of war and pillage have never long
remained. The course of its history has
been even. II has rarely been the seat
of mighty empire but rather the head
of petty kingdom or of subordinate
province. Hence, though an oriental city.
it has never equalled Ninevah or Bah
ylon in the greatness of its power, or the
grandeur of its edifces; nor does it now
resemble them in the depths of their fall.
or the extent of their ruins. II has -four
ished, while they have fallen; and even
now it continues to flourish amid all the
neglect and oppression of Turkish misruls.
