ed TO signify some unfounded story, h not

terms in which VI. Quetelet relates, ia the An
nuaire de ! Academic, the manner in which
the world became used in its new sense: lie
give sky lift a. the ridiculous pieces Of In
telligence which the journals are in the
habit of publishing every morning. Cornelissen
stated that au interesting experiment had
Just been made calculated TO prove the ex-
rraordinary voracity Of ducks. Twenty OF
these animals has been placed together, and
one Of them having been killed and cut up
into the smallest possible pieces, feathers and
all, and th rOwn TO the other nineteen, had becn
gluttonOuSly gobbled up in sn exceedingly
brief space of time. Another was taken from
nineteen, and being chopped small like its
predecessor was served up to the eighteen,
and at once devOured like the other; and soon
to the last, who was thus placed in the position
Of having eaten his nineteen companions In
wonderfully short time. All this most pleas
sanity narrated, obtained a success which the
writer was far from anticipating, for the story
rau the rounds of all the journals In Europe
1t then became almost forgotten for about
score Of years, wien IL came back from Ameri-
ca with amplifcation which il did not boat
OF al the commencement and with a regular
certificate of the autopsy Of the body of the
surviving animal, whose esOphagus was de-
clared to have been found seriously injured.
Every one laughed at the history Of the eanard
thus brought up again, but the word retains
Its novel signifcation."

Burial Of Sir John Moore.

The following letter in the last Southern
Literary Messenger from q. p. Il. James, Esq,
sets happily at rest the question, started not
long since by the Criterion, as 10 the author
ship Of the " Burial Of Sir Johu Moore" It
turns out, Just as VIC expected, that the French
version of the Mcnciy, given in the July
mum Der, was but an imitation Of the English
original:
BRIrIsB CONSULATE, RICHMOND,
November H. 1856
Ny Dear Sir In some late numbers Of the
Southern Literary Messenger, have seen re-
newed a discussion which began and termi-
mated IN London many years ago, in regard TO
the originality Of the celebrated Poem Of Mr..
Wolfe on the Burial Of Sir John Moore.
The poem is undoubtedly his own, and was
never denied but ia jest.
Not longNafter Mr.. Bently the well known
publisher, started his Miscellany, the very
beautiful French imitation (for traDslstion IL
can hardly be calledD which you have re-
printed, appeared in that periodical, with q
few lines in prose inpugning Mr. Woife's
claim 10 originality. Most people moving IN
literary circles, well understood that the
whole matter wes a mere joke; but il gave
pain 10 some Of Mr.. Wolfe's surviving friends,
and, happening to sup with the author Of the
imitation, known 10 the pubic by the name
of Father PrOut, [ mentioned the fact TO him.
know not whether he has ever given bis real
name to the world, but sufflce II that ne was
clergyman Of the Church Of Rome, most
erudite, and also a most smable man, the
last person in ;hs world Intentionally to in
fict wound upon any one.
lie told me had been grieved TO hear some
time before that he had given pain; and be
proposed to correct any wrong impression, not
by bold ayowal OF the jest but by carryingi il
on TO such pitch as 20 make il refuts itself.
His plan was 20 write several notices of the
poem in the character Of different literary
men, each claiming the origin for different
nation, and each giving version OF Mr..
Wolfe poem in a different language He
showed me two if not three Of these versions
which he had already written. One, il L re-
member right-for L speak of things that oc-
carrcd many years ago-was in German and
one in Greek and each was as perfect and as
spirited as the imitation in French. Whether
he ever carried out his intention Of publishing
these in the way proposed, / do not know;
for few days after that pleasant and memo
rable evening, l left England, and was absent
for some years but the marvellous coubina-
tin Of learning, genius and wit in Father
Prout, can never be forgotten by,
Dear sir, yours faithfully,
@. p. r. JAMES.

Dr. Mott-Do you ask that out Of curiosity
or as piece Of impertinence!
The Court Judge SlOssonl Oh, We all

fifty years as surgeon Pray, how long have
you as lawyer!
Northrop-Six years.

quite enough Of your facetiousness.

your silly impertinence.
