SOCIETY IN ARKAysAs.--A story is told
of Bostonians first appearance in polite
society in Arkansas. The company were
engaged in dancing, but the lovliest female
present occupied chair at the window
without partner. Stepping up to the lady

excited by fear of refusal, he exclaimed

SOMETIMES TOO FAsTIDIoUsl-A very worthy
gentleman of Rouen is at present receiving a
fortune which came to him with the drawing Of
a cork, in the following curious manner
Obliged by the state of his health, last summer,
to change the air, he went to the sea shore at
Villers-sur-mer, near Trouville; and, walking on
the beach. he noticed that lad, who was also
promenading there with his father, had found u
sealed bottle among the sea.weei. The father
bade his child to "throw down the dirty thing,
and not be soiling his fingers" upon which the
invalid picked up the castaway bottle and took
it with him to his lodgings.
The cork drawn, the bottle was found to con.
tain written document, properly signed, and
dated on board vessel which had sprung leak
and was about to sink. 1t ran thus:
"About to perish, commend my soul to God.
hereby constitute the finder of this will, en-.
closed in bottle, my soul heir. Ny fortune,
most laboriously acquired, amounts to near
three hundred and fifty thousand francs, and
the small house in which | have resided at Val
paraiso. This tenement wish converted into
a chapel, and that mass may be there said
once a month, for the respose of my soul. The
fortune will be found deposited with NJ. -

has been transmitted. Pray for me!

(says Bayard Taylor)-"rhere, girls do not
jump from infancy to young ladyhood. They
are not sent from the cradle directly to the par
lor, to dress, to sit still, and look pretty No,
they arc treated as children should be. During
childhood which extends through period Of
several years, they are plainly and loosely dres-
sed, and allowed to run, romp and play in the
open air. They take in sunshine as does the
flower. They are not loaded down, girded
about, and oppressed every way with countless
frIlls and superabundant hounces,, so as to be
admired for their much clothing. Nor are they
rendered delicate and dyspePGc by continual

TuE SEAT OF THE SENSE OF TAsTE.-Thc Cli-
niQus Enrepinne of the 9th contains the follow
ing account of certain experiments made by
NM. Klaatsch and Stitch, to ascertain the real
seat of the sense of taste which is generally and
enormously supposed to exist on the whole sur
face of the tongue.
It appears, on the contrary, from these exper-
iments, that the only portion ofthat organ which
is sensible to taste, is narrow space nil round.
The breadth of this sensible zone varies in differ.
ent subjects; in some it is not more than two
lines, in others double that breadth; it rarely
extends to the inferior surface. The expert
ments above alluded TO were rs follows: A
substance having strong taste is first placed on
the centre of the tongue, where it produces no
effect it is then gradually spread out until the
perception of taste is announced; this occurs
generally on the border, but in some individuals
1t begins at the distance of line from it. The
Uelum pendulum of the palate is also sensible to
taste, bnt the pharynx and tonsis are deprived
of the gustatve faculty This is proved by the
fact that if they be touched with stick cGustic
the patient experiences no taste, provided he
keep his tongue and the ceLuna pendulum away
from the spot.

THE INTELLTGENCER.

Coon Hit PROM Mr.. SuMNER.-At the recent
celebration of the 23d February. in Chicago, the
name of George Sumner was, without his knowl.
edge, printed in the official programmes, and
announced in the Journals as one of the speakers.
This brought from him the following witty let
ter, addressed to a member of the Committee of
Arrangements:
CHICAGO, February %.
My Dear Sir: Will yon thank the gentlemen
of the committee for their Kindness in inviting
me to the banquet this evening, and assure them
| am sensible of the honor they have done me
by printing my namein the programme Of speak
ers. This honor / must decline; ia the first
place, because | shall leave town before the
speaking will begin; and in the next place, be.
couse do not consider myself n representative
of the great majority of our countrvmen-that
is to say, the born-oratorS-bu rather as one
OF the small, and sometimes suffering, minority
oflisteners.
Mindful of the interests of the minority,
should, if called upon for speech, on any occa-
sion less solemn than that for which you are to
assemble, propose this toast in honor of the de-
parted spirit Of Trinity Bay:
'DE SAurY-by some supposed n myth, be-
cause the model man-the man who held his
tongue when he had nothing to say"
