Mysteries or the Deep.

The report Of the Superintendent Of the United
States Coast Survey for 1850 contains many mat
tiers of interest to scientific we'll to pfae@
teal navigators. Among variety of papers and
diagrams ia report from Assistant Il. II. pourtalaH
on the progress made in the microscopical exami-
nation OF the minute shells which cover the bottom
Of the ocean, sometimes to such degree a. to ex-
elude all other material. The recent invention Of
deep sea-soundng instruments, in which Leut-
Brooke, United States navy, has acted an import
ant part, makes accessible vast domain in which
to prosecute scientific investigations OF this clarae
ter. AS yet comparatively little is known reepeet-
ing the little creatures inhabting the ocean bed
where Old Neptune sleeps, notwithstanding (as re-
marked by the report under notice) q they are
modifying and increasing the crust of our globe in
manner probably still more extensively chan the
corals y but the numerous specimens of sea bot
course of examination affords materials from which
to determine many curious facts. fine collection
obtained in the Gulf Stream OF the coast of South
Carolina, by Commander Sands, u. 8. n, consists
almost entirely of green sassd and ID found to be
identical with the socalled marls on fertilizers Of
New Jersey. This substance, a. discovered d fHM

An Extraordinary Elephant.

little incident occurred last night at Dan Rices
during the representation of the East Indian spec
tacle of the Elephant of Siam, which deserves no.
tice, especially as it is not probable that half o
dozen people in the audience supposed but that it
was part of the business of the play. In one of
the scenes, the Prince, Alamanzor, who has fallen
into the power of usurper. is brought upon the
| stage in box by party of the usurpers adhe-
are frightened by the approach of the Sacred
Elephant and fee precpitately. leaving the
Prince enclosed in what was intended as his coffin.
Then, according to the author, the elephant en-
tiers, opens the box, and discovering her protege
half suffocated, plucks an orange from tree and
hands it to him. to revive his fainting energies
This the elephant, Lala Rookh, usually does in
manner deserving of all commentator; but, last
night, the orange was inadvertently hung In q
different place from that which it had previously
occupied, and poor Lala Rookh was in great trib-
nlation in consequence. She reached for it where
it should have been, but not finding it, commenced
series of most comical manGuyers With shout,
quickly repeated "trumpetngs," or shrieks, she
threw her trunk wildly around in hopes of finding
the missing fruit and, as if fearful that the audi.
ence would be disappointed by her failure, en-
deavored to compensate for it by going through
the extempore performance not in the bills-placing
herself in various positions, such as she had been
taught to assume when performing in the ring.
Finally, coming to the conclusion that there was no
orange there, she paused for instant, and then,
| as if o happy suggestion had occurred to her.
grasped from the flats an imaginary one, which she
presented to the Prince with all due ceremony,
somewhat to his astonshment, for being in posi-
ton which would not allow him to see what had
been going on, he extended his hand as usual to
receive what proved to be merely freak Of
| imagination y on the part of the elephant When
it is recollected that the animal was on the stage
by herself, without any keeper to control hel
movements, the wonderful intelligence displayes
will be fully appreciated, and those who eompre
| hended the subterfuge she employed to deceiv,
the audience, all concurred in pronouncing it til,
most extraordinary display of elephantine sagacit
on record. philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

No wonder you hold up your beautiful head
SO high when you go in the street;
No wonder that you find particular friend
In almost every girl that you meet;
No wonder they smile, and such preference show
To you SO much more than another
For the reason is plain, very plain, Mary dear
You have got such q fine-looking brother.
Your carriage is graceful, your form ia the same,
Your sweet face calculated to please,
And your heart full of purity, goodness and truth
But your friends do not love you for these;
For beautiful girls, let me tell you ma belle,
Are not often fond of each other,
But then the case changes yeyy great deal
When one has q fine-looking brother.
And not only handsome, but stylish to XII,
And man Of celebrity, too;
So the dear modest creatures that can't take his
eye
Are determined to try It through you;
And thus you are petted and loved by them ali.
And subject to such fuss and bother:
But nary time would they make with Won. love
If you had not that fne-looking brother
So hold up your head just as high as you please;
Look as proud as yen possibly can;
For your friends won't desert you, but stick to You
fast,
While Jim's such fne-looking man.
But-would you believe t?-I love yon myself
And nay feeling, alas !! must smother:
For the world It would say, don't you think
'twould say rightly
That loved for the sake of your brother!
