SCIENTIFIC PARADoxEs.-The water which

as ice. The bullet which, when fired from a
musket, carries death, will be harmless if
ground TO dust before being fired. The crys-
talized part of the oil of roses graceful in its
fragrance-a solid ut ordinary temperatures
though readily yOlatiIe-is a compound sub
stance, containing exactly the same elements,
and In exactly the same proportions, as the gas
which we light our streets. The tea which we
daily drink, with benefit and pleasure, produces

The SrEEPLE CHASE OF ELEpHANrs.-The
Pony Races of her Msjesty's 6Sth Light Imam
try having gone off so well q short time aro
the Statf, with laudable desire to promote
sport, gave out that the Rangoon Monsoon
Meeting would be held on the 22d and 24th of
May. This announcement was hailed with great
delight, and especially by those sspirants to
racing fame who had made their debut at the
late races, and were desirous of a still further
insight inta the mysteries Of the Turf. The first
day was devoted to a fiat racing, and on the
second two steeple-chases and an elephant race
appeared on the course. A vast crowd assem-
blcd to see the operation of mounting in front
OF the Grand Stand, which, however, quickly
dispersed as the jocks began to take their pre-
limlnary canters. The uDgainly creatures were
to be steered over part of the Stephenchas
Course by mahOuts and ridden by officers, some
OF whom, got up in full jockey costume, pre-
sented very gay and animated appearance
The wide-ditch jump was the most attractive
spot, and as the elephants drew up to the
starting post one lOnged, Mr.. Editor for the
pencil of '' Our Own Correspondent to dis
tingulshed contemporary of yours, to portray
the scene Thirteen appeared Mt tho post
and capital start was effected. Grams Bags
"a very fine animal, though, perhaps, a little
heshy) made the running, and at the wide ditch
was too lengths ahead The huge beast got over
the ditch in a manner that reflected great credit
on the seat of their jocks, and caused shouts of
laughter; they had also quiet way of going
through, instead Of 0rer, the timber jumps
iram Bags kept the lead until about two hun
dred yards from the winning post, when
'urreah Purwar, who had been lying in the
ruek, passed his elephants with tremendous
rush, and challenged Gram Bags, on whom the
weight oil his rider had began to tell. very
hne struggle ensued between the two, which
ended In favor Of Gurreah Purwar by trunk.
IL afterwards appeared that they had missed
one OF the jumps, and the piece of plate IA mas
sive candeiabra of elegant and chaste design,
was awarded to Capt. Vaughan, 18th, who landed
Soorut gunial good third. The meaning of
Soorut Junial is sweet or " beautiful coun-
tenance," which, as in the present instance,
often gains the day !-Letter from Rangoom.

his term of service To commence on The first
Monday Of December, 1857. But II few weeks
after tie vote in his district had been counted,
he concluded to.pToceed at once TO Washington.
While en route for that city, he roniescended
to make call, in old Firginia on another good
democrat, also rejoicing in election to the
next Congress- His friend inquired rs to the
extent of Mr.. F.'s proposed journeyings- The
gentleman from Indiana stated with profound
compIacency that he was going to the capitol OF
the nation. His Virginia friend presumed that
he proposed To spend some time there getting
''the hang of the schUOl house The gentle
man from, Indiana remarked that he would not
have much times for pTelimiIaries, as Congress
would meet in few days. And To the eXceS-

Indianian was laboring under the impression
that, as he was ''meiHber of Congress, there
was no way for it but that he should take his
seat whenever Congress met That Will Cum
back was to occupy his seat another session,
was beyond his comprehension. And with
great difficulty the Virginan managed to drill
INTO the head Of the Honorable gentleman from

in private life for one year, sadder and wiser
