A Doc TALE-We will bet five to one, says
the New York AtLas, that the following is a
"fib." We can no mere bring ourselves to
believe it than we could in our childhood be-
leve the assertion of Mother Goose, that the
"cow jumped over the moon," or that the
" dish ran away with the spoon" 1t may do
very well to offer wholesale, but we do not
think it will retail well. If you, dear reader,
think proper to put your faith in it, you may
we are not responsible, having found it in an
exchange:
In the family of relative of mine, few
weeks since, one of the boys in freak Of
mischief chopped off the tail of his fathers
dog The poor animal ran about, bowling and
bleeding until he found secure retreat from
the eye of man. and there he lay until hunger
compelled him to leave his hiding place. Then
he came out towards the kitchen in search Of
food His master had taken the dismembered
member and placed it on the railing of the
kitchen porch. The dog saw it, and doubtless
recognizing it as his own, he took it down, licked
itlovingly, and then deliberately turned around
and sat down with the stump upon it, to see il
it would grow on again.

PRINTER's INK gs. SPIRITUAL MEDIUMS. The
celebrated Davenport Mediums" says the
Lowell Voe Popu6, who have been perform.
ing here the last two weeks such wonderful
tricks as drawing music from various instru-
ments without touching them, were outwitted
day or two since by a printer of this city,
The two boy mediums were tied hands and
feet, and put into dark (of course y place
with the instruments, the whole arrangement
being first examined by the spectators. Now
on this occasion the said printer was a visitor,
and he had been moved to apply little pri-
vate test for his own satisfaction. He took
along with him very little printing ink,
(Which is as tenacious as wheel grease,) and
marked Herewith the instruments The per.
formance went on the mediums were firmly
tied and bound to their seats, to convince the
audience that they could not touch the instru-
ments; then came the darkness; then instru
mental music by the spirits; then the manager
said "let there be light" and the mediums
were unbound and came forth--each with fin.
gers well bedaubed with printers ink The
trick was fully blown. Jugglers must have a
sharp eye out for the printers.

ORIGIN OF THE BARRIERS PoLE.--The origin
Of the BARRIERS pole dated to the period when
BARRIERS were also surgeons, and practical phle-
botomy. To assist in this operation, It being
necessary for the patient to grasp staff, stick
or pole was always kept by the barber-sur-
geon, together with the fllet or bandaging he
used for tying the patients arm. When the
pole was not in use the tape was tied to it, that
they might be both together when wanted
On person coming in to be bled, the tape was
dsengaged from the pole and bound around
the arm and the pole was put into the persons
hand after it was done with, the tape was
again tied on the pole and in this state the pole
and tape. were often hung at the door, for a
sign or notice to passengers, that they might
there be bled; doubtless the competition for
costom was great, because, as our ancestors
were admirers of bleeding they demanded the
operation frequently At length, instead Of
hanging out the identical pole used in the ope-
ration, pole was painted with stripes round
it, in imitation Of the real pole and its bandag-
ing, and thus came the sign

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT A Coal MNE.-A
singular accident lately occurred at the Ell
more colliery, England. Two men to be lifted
up to the surface, placed their feet in the looT
of chain attached to the engine, and holding
on to it began to ascend. A loop in the de-
scendng chain by some means got over the
head of one of the men and before he was
able to extricate himself it was torn completely
from his body. The headless trunk got up
the feet in the loop, and the hands still grasp
ing the chain. The mangled head fell to the

DIsInterment Of the Medlci Family.

The London Morning Post has an interest
ing letter from its Tuscan correspondent, giving
an account of the disinterment of the cee-
brated Medci family Of Florence, who for SO
long period were the absolute rulers of that
country We make the following extract
When Louis XIV. in his childhood asked his
tutor if Kings ever die, we are told that 'Quet
quetois Monseigneur,' was the cautious and
courtly answer. Last week, however, the Flo
rentines had an opportunity of satisfying them
selves of the undoubted fact. The whole dy-
nasty of the Medci was disinterred. 1t was
found that the wooded coffins in the vaults Of
San Lorenzo were mouldering away, so orders
were given to have them replaced, and the en-
tire family from Giovanni dele Bandc Mere,
and his son, the first Duke Cosmo, to John
Castor, the last of the royal family, all, about
their wives, children, brothers-all, in short,
that have ever been consigned to the tomb at
San Lorenzo, with only two exceptions, were
removed from the old, preparatory to being
consigned to new cofiins. OF these coffins
some twenty were opened for the first time
Eleanor of Toledo, the wife Of Cosmo the First,
and his son and successor, Francis the First,
the husband of the il-fated Bianco Capello,
were fresh as if they had only yesterday been
placed in the sepuchre where they have lain
for more than $50 years. Indeed, the Won
derful preservation of the corpse of Francis
seems to strengthen the theory that he died
from strong arsenical poison. The work was
performed with the greatest care and decorum,
under the inspection of the Advocate Regio,
the chief government architect, and the Chey-
alier Passierini, a person of great antiquarian
knowledge attached to the grand ducal ar
chives. Grand dukes and grand duchesses,
princes and princesses, were all found in the
state costume of their day-Giovanni dele
Bande Mere, the warlike progenitor of the race,
with the Wondering skull in the helm--the
sangunary but sagacous Cosmo, with his dag
ger by his side, (perhaps the same that struck
iGarzia )-each with a medal bearing an efligy
of himself, all ticketed and labelled with the
most mercantile precission for these merchant
princes, to thesubtility of politicians joined the
precision of red tapists, and carried their hab-
its of commercial regularity down with them
to the very grave. A strange thing it was to
look on the actual features Of the men who
had filed Italy with their fame two and three
centuries ago. on the Cosmo who had quenched
in blood all that remained of Florentine and
Sienese freedom, and his descendants; on him
who would ride upon summer evening to
Arcetri, and chat with Calico; on another
who exchanged presents of montepulcian and
ale with the Protector; on third who had
corresponded with st. John and Walpole about
the destiny of his own State

Troops 10 be sent from California TO Salt
Lake.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier and Enquirer, writing on the 1st
of December, says:
Major General Smith, now in command Of
the western division, but on temporary duty at
the east, has been directed to repair from
Philadelphia to Washington, to consult with
the Secretary of War on the expediency Of
equpping an expedition in California, to re-
lieye Col. johnson, in case of necessity. This
relieving force, if organized, will necessarily
consist, for the most part Of volunteers. The
Secretary is for the present disinclined to en-
ploy volunteers for the reason that they might
prejudice the requisition for additional reg-
ments Of regular troops which he designs max
ing The disposition of Congress to increase
the army to any required complement, cannot
be doubted 1t will not surprise any one ac-
quainted with the present state of the service,
should Congress raise the effective force to
twenty-five thousand men.
On the Sd inst, the same writer says:
The War Department has no apprehension
of the fate of our troops in Utah. The sup
plies cut off by the Mormons were not impor.
tant, nor were the cattle lost in August, essen
tial to the support Of the expedition. The
number of animals Of all descriptions, with the
army is, Or was, 10000 The number Of sol
diers has been exaggerated, and is but ! ZOO.
The Department now sees its way clear to the
relief Of the expedition, by the organization of
a volunteer force in California. There ought
to be no delay in calling into action at least
one regiment Of volunteers for the purpose Of
keeping the communication open between Salt
Lake and California.
Military officers are of opinion that Brigham
Young designs escaping to Sonora in the spring,
under compact with Mexico to defendcthat
province against the filibusters and Indians
| think this an error, and that they propose
emgrating to British or Russian America.
In regard to the reinforcement next spring
of the Utah army, and the probable cost of
the operations against the Saints, the Wash
ngton correspondent of the Baltimore San
says
The Government will depend chiefly on vol
untecr troops for that service, and upon ga
pile" Of money which must be obtained by a
resort to new loan. -Four hundred millions
will fall far short of the expense Of this war.
II will cost nearly as much as the estimated
expenditure upon the military expenses of the
East India Government in the suppression Of
the mutiny there. Still, this Government
would be accounted as failure, unless the
Mormon nsurrecton bo suppressed

A QUEENS SERvANT.-Mrs Victoria Co
burg of London, keeps some rich "help"
about her house. One of them is the Marquis
of Westminster His wealth is estimated at
f21 ,O00 900 sterling, or Sl05, ,O00, 900, and his
annual income at e700000 or $3,500,000.
With all his wealth, the Marquis was not
above accepting service in the household of
Queen Victoria, and wearing her livery, as
lord high steward, sort of upper flunkey,
whose duty it is to play the part of first class
footman to his mistress, carry white wand in
his hand before her, and invariably walk back
ward out of her presence, at the risk of falling,
which has happened more than once. A Mar
quis with f7OO,0oO per annum, who would
thus act as upper lackey, for $4,000 year, is
precisely the man to give no more than tloo
to national charitable purpose, while Mr.
Thackeray (whom, no doubt, he looks down
upon,} gives ten times as much
