Curious Freak Of Nature.

Mr.. L. 7. Bond, of Livingston County, ex-
hibited to US yesterday vegetable curiosity
which instances the occasional wildness Of Ma
ture's freaks of imitation, the most singularly
OF anything that we ever witnessed. It was q
perfect model of human hand and arm below
the elbow, cast--if we may use the expression
lin corn cob. 1t was simply an g ear" of the
Indian staple, from which the kernels had
been removed, leaving an infantile hand and
arm, somewhat pock marked in appearance,
from the indentions of the grain thatgIoyed it,
but perfect in shape, as though sculpture had
wrought it, The exactnees of the imitation
will not be conceived, except by those who
have seen it. With the exception Of the fingers
Ito which tho freaky fdame" could not pos
sibly, with the clumsiest material she used, give
quite due length and slenderness--there was
nothing for the artist to take exception to,
The thumb was fashioned and set precisely az
it should bo, the hollow Of the palm was OK
act, the wrist was aattened and the arm
rounded, as asculptor would have done it, and
to all its lines and proportions there was moi
the slightest deviation from the human model
1t was certainly the strangest Als.s nattrae
that We ever expect to see. 1t has been ex-
tensively shown, in private way, in various
parts of the country, and has everywhere ex-
cited the utmost wonder and interest. Itseenls
to every one impossible TO ascribe il to
chances" cause appears to DO almost an
unquestionablc necessity of consequence 80
definite; and the theories it has provoked arc
as curious as itself.-Boston Erpress, ~ =

Pere La Chaise.

Pere Ia Chaise, as is well known, is the
great burying-ground of Paris. The New
Orleans Rcayme's correspondent of that city
mentions the following interesting particulars
I visited Pere la Chaise few days ago, and
the jewish Cemetery being open, (which is
something unusual I entered it to visit poor
RaohePs tomb; like most other French tombs,
it is in the form of o chapel. It and the vault
OF the Rotchschild family are approached
through Q row Of flowers about eight feet long,
planted in beds set in stone, and raised four
feet from the ground; the effect is striking.
The chapel lis literally crammed full of yellow
wreaths and bouquets Of flowers, all as fresh as
if placed there an hour ago; they must be re-
newed daily. was surprised to see on the
lodge (if it was Papist chapel should say
alter) twenty or thirty letters, which had evi-
IDENTIFY come through the mails. What can be
the meaning of this? They were placed there
by the family. In the Rotschild's chapel
there was visiting card on tho ledge. Isn't
1t strange custom? Pere 10 Chaise has re-
cently received some magnificent tombs.
Prince Demidof has spent 5000 on his
mothers tomb, which, except General Gobert's s,
Is the finest in the cemetery; end this sum Of
money has been absorbed by merely embel
fishing the old tomb. The other costly new
tombs are one to Marshal Marmonts widow;
one to Alfred dc Musset; one to Souvestre, the
novelist; one TO de Balzac; one to Pradier, the
sculptor: one to Visconti, the architect Of the
new Louvre. Beranger is buried in the same
vault with Manuel and his friends have con-
tented themselves with cutting his name on
Manuel's tomb; that is cheap, certainly.

The Currency Of China,

Theonly currency Of the empire is the chien
or cash, copper or brass coin somewhat
smaller and much thinner than United States
cent, bearing on ono side Chinese and on the
other Mantchoo inscription, and perforated
with square hole. These cash are strung in
hundreds on lengths Of rice-straw, and ten Of
these hundreds, forming a string. are equal to
one ounce or dollars worth Of silver. The
bundles Of one hundred are seldom united, and
thus IL happens that cash Of high antiquity
are frequently discovered by the few foreign
ers who have interested themselves in this, the
most ancient Of existing coinage. The cash of
the seventh century Of our era differed only in
the inscription from those Of the present day,
and are sometimes found in circulation. The
debased cash, to which T have already alluded,
are coined in immense quantities by dishonest
mandarins, as well as by private speculators,
and are mixed with the government cash in as
large proportion as possible.
In some Of the Northern provinces ch' 40, or
large cash, worth 10, SO or 100 of the small
coin, are in circulation. Foreigners, however,
unless they especially seek it, seldom soc the
cash. The only currency acknowledged by
the people at present is the Mexican dollar,
which, however, has entirely lost tho facti-
tious value it once bore. It circulates at its
commercial value of As. I'd. sterling. The
Carolus dollar, which was once worth rs. Sd.
sterling, will now scarcely circulate at par, and
United States and South American dollars are
not in favor. Small change is supplied by
English 'shillings and American halves and
quarters; below this, the sycee, or broken sill
yer, comes into play and when small change
is scarce, asit very often is, one either goes
without, or accepts cheroots as circulating
medium. ''

Alleged Literary Discovery--Pilgrims
Progress Plagiarism.

The Courier DIES Etats Unis contains tho fol-
lowing singular announcement under the head
Of Fails Divers: ..,,.,
"There is not in Great Britain o more re-
lnarksble book than Pilgrims Progress It
is sort Of Telemachus of Protestant religious
literature, and is more highly esteemed by the
English than Fenelon's chef d'aeuure. Hith-
erto this work has been attributed to John
Bunyan. But o young woman, named Catha-
rine Isabella Curt, has just published in London
translation of an old French manuscript in
the Brisish Museum, which is, almost word
for word, Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress. The
manuscript is the work Of o clergyman, G.. de

therefore, that the credit Of this celebrated

Extraordinary Attempt at Murder I'm
Canada.

On Monday morning of last week, il will
be remembered, an extensive robbery of gold
and silver watches was committed at the
jewelry store Of Mr.. Fintuch, on Church.
street, Toronto, Canada. Considerable mys-
terry surrounded the affair. On Sunday morn
ing last, q telegraphic dispatch was received
at Toronto, from the Mayor at 0akville, which
afforded not only the long-sought informa-
ton, but communicated the intelligence that
the possession Of the booty by one Of the
thieves had led to an attempt on the part of
one Of them TO murder the other by shooting
him. II appears that three men were con-
cerned in the robbery. Their namss are
Andrew Adams, Edward Short and Thomas
Cummins. They were ell In Toronto Of,
Saturday, drinking. In the evening, Adams
and Cummins started for 0akvilie. Short
was much intoxicated. Cnmmins had In his
possession eight Of the stolen watches, some
Of the lockets and chains, and also some
money; Adams had none Of the plumber, but
he was furnished with q double -barrelled
pistol, loaded with slugs. .5
Whether he then first conceived the horrid
design Of numbering his companion for the
purpose Of securing the plundsr to himself, II
is impossible to say, but would appear that
the act was premeditated, for II was stated
that Adams was heard to say to Cummins, III
wonder If this pistol was discharged at my
head, as 1t 10 now loaded, whether It would
kill me-" Cummins was lying down when be
was shot, the slugs entering the right side Of
his face-one about the region Of the temple,
and the other just below the eye. Adams find
ing that be had not killed the man, and be-
coming alarmed for his personal safety, i'm
mediately took to his heels, without attempt
ing to get possession Of the property. Cum
Minis, although so seriously injured and suffer-
ing from tho loss Of blood, managed to crawl
to some habitation in the locality, and give in
formation Of what had happened. The police
were apprised of the matter, and q dispatch
was sent to Toronto giving description Of
Adams and Short. T.-+ Va ~ g
Adams and Short were soon afterward ar
rested. Adams's real name is now said to be
William Whitney, and that he Is . dsserter
from tho United States Army. He is about
twenty one years of age. aH.4I-.
