Cbarncteristics OF children.

During the first five years" says the
author of Levana, children say neither what
is true nor what is false-they merely talk
Their talking is thinking aloud; and since the
one-half of thought is frequently yes, and
the other no, and both escape them, (though
not u.s. they seem to lie when merely talking
to themselves. Further, at first they find
great pleasure in exercising their new art OF
speech, and so they often talk nonsense, only
for the sake of hearing their acquisitions in
language. They frequently do not under
stand some word that you have said. Little
children, for instance, often confuse to-day,
tomorrow, yesterday, as well as numbers
and degrees of comparison, and so give rather
a mistaken than a false reply.
again, children use their tongues more in
sport than in earnest, as must be seen in the
long discourses they hold with their puppets,
as minister or an author does with his; and
they easily apply this sportive talking to liv'
ing people. Children always fly to the warm
sunny side of hope. If the bird or the dog
has gone away, they will say, without any
| further reason, it will come back again. AnC
since they cannot altogether separate theil
hopes, that is, their fancies from copies OF
truths, their own self-deceptions assumes tn
appearance of lie. 1t is worthy ofconsider
ation whether children, when they practic
| lie, do not often relate remembered dream
which must necessarily be confounded b.
| them with real occurrences"

Prevalence ofthe Cattle Disease in England

The April number of the Veterinarian, a
British journal of Veterinary Science, has an
article on the necessity Of legislative enact
ments to limit the spread of contagious dis
eases among cattle. The writer speaks of
pleuro-pneumonia as the present pest of
English herds, and says that no correct
opinion can be given even of the number of
animals which are the subjects of that malady
at any one time, nor of its location. He re-
commends that steps be taken to register
these losses, with view Of their being made
public, so that the governmental machinery
may be set at work to carry into practice such
| sanitary measures as are indispensably ne
cessary to preserve the health ofthose animals
which furnish food and clothing to the people.
| That the spread of this disease is due TO its
| infectious nature few will be found TO dispute,
and this without lessening any opinion they
1 may entertain of the influence of secondary
causes in its production, We infer that the
cattle maledy exists in England TO consid-
cradle extent, as the article before us says
1--WE are continually hearing of its ruinous
consequences toindividuals." On all sides, the
| British editor says, the question is asked
s'what can be done to cure the diseaseW He
| adds, "and gloomily are we looked upon
/ when we reply, that, as q rule, u Is ileurdbLs
| but that it can frequently be prevented, ant
would be so, were sanitary measures adopted
by the Legislature TO limit the contagion.n i
win be seen by the above statement that ther'
is perfect agreement between intelligent gen
tlemen on both sides Of the Atlantic In re
gard TO the proper method OF arresting tn
spread OF the pest TO herds"

Eccentricities of n Grand Duke-A Strange
Collection of Presents.

Collection ofPrescnts.
In an article by NJ. Edouard Simon, pub
lished in the Revue Contemporaries, on Nj.
Varnhagen Won Ense's ReeolLections, the fol-
lowing strange anecdote is related of the
Grand Duke Charles, the husband Of the
Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden. After
his death, the settlement Of the liabilities OF
the old civil list brought q strange inhrmity
of the late Prince to light. "At the Palace
of Carlsruhe," says the article, "a whole series
of apartments was found which the late
Grand Duke had successfully locked up, and
which nobody had entered since. IL had
long been an old mania of his to lay by every
thing he received, no matter what, and no
matter from whom. No one was ever allowed
to touch these things; the Grand Duke him
self abstained from doing so, without ever
taking the slightest notice of any application
for restitution. ..
As soon as q room was sufficiently full, he
would lock it up, taking out the key, and
begin the same ceremony with another.
When, after bis death, these mysterious rooms
were opened, they were found to be filled
with an innumerable quantity of precious
thir gs, costumes, all kinds of trumpery, down
to children's playthings, recollections of child
hood, and which the Prince had never used.
| Here q quantity of rouleaux of silver, labeled
| ''Captain's pay for H. Fl. Prince'C Charles" and
| vast quantity of twenty-kreutzer pieces
(about fourteen cents,) carefully wrapped up;
| three drawers filled with rouleaux of gold;
then snuff-boxes of the greatest value, rings,
and other jewels, to the amount of more than
million in value. These treasures had laid
dormant there for many years, and yet, a
short time before his death, the Grand Duke
had been pinched for money, which he could
not get at lower rate than sixteen per cent.
Then there were books, cards, petitions,
papers of all kinds which were brought to
fight with the treasures; an immense quantity
of sealed letters; dispatches which had been
looked for in vain, and then thought to be
| lost precious documents the want of which
had prevented the settlement Of important
affairs, and seriously endangered legitimate
interests. Lastly, there were pieces of art,
rich arms, offered for sale to the Prince long
| time before, and which were found pell-mell
with embroidered courtdresses, masquerading
costumes and laced hats. In many cases il
was impossible to find out the owners ofsome
of these articles: and then again, things which
had been paid for by the civil list, and never
had made their appearance, were found here.

In ona az aha lozver diatrictso the Palmetto

,yaiked the streets, the dogs skunk their tails
and sneaked off, too scared TO bark.
The fame of the family spread through the
country. and at last reached the ears OF
Georgian, who for long time had held un-

knife. This individual at length determined
to pay q visit to the ugly family; and endea-

turning round and disclosing countenace

little from the astonishment, "are you no

The WAGNER shook his head and "grinnec

The Georgian, burning with curiosity
leaned forward as the cover was raised slowl

double extract of delirium tremens.

THE HOME OF WASHINGTON AFTER


The following description of this painting, now
on exhibition at CARIss', in the little room up
stairs lately occupied by the works of Rosa BoN-
HEUR, we extract from pamphlet published by
Mr. RossITER, one of the artists concerned in the
production of the picture, and by whom the figures
were painted; the landscape part of the picture
being the work of Mr.. MIGNoT. The scene is laid
at Mt. Vernon; the time, an afternoon in August;
the subject, WASHINGTON and his family, including
LAFAYETTE, supposed to be, at the time, guest
beneath his roof
"The busy portion of the day is over; and, as the
long shadows creep slowly over the lawn, the fami-
ly portion of the household have congregated under
the ample portco.
ssThe General and his noble guest have arisen
from the chairs, which indicate that they had
formed portion of the group with the ladies, and
are standing in cooquy: Washington in the ac of
speaking and Lafayette leaning against pillar; in
deferental attitude, holds newspaper in his hand
suggestive that the discourse is a topic of the
times.
''Mrs. Washington is sewing, while her daughter
in-law, Mrs. Stuart, formerly Mrs. John Parke
GUSTS, and mother of the two children is reading
note. On the table is a basket with the ever
present knitting, with which she set the example of
industry to her associates and dependents
cleaning upon the grandmotber's lap is Eleanor
Parke Gusts, who has sought her protective pres
ence, while her brother, Geo. Washington Parke
CastIs, fires small cannon with the assistance of
negress, who is blowing lighted match.
Two sporting dogs, with an instinct for gun
powder, are likewise watching the result.
"On the lawn, negro servant in the family
livery of white and crimson, is driving off some
trespassiog cows Two guests, in the distant
summer-bouse, are looking at the prospect. A
figure with fshiug-rod, and an attendant is coming
up the hill toward the mansion

From Annapolis we hear that the Brock City
Passenger Railway Bill was read the second time
in the Senate. On motion of Mr.. KIMMEL it was
amended by proviso that no endorser or ap.
proven of the HELPER Book should derive any ben
eft from it. The indications are that it will pass
the Senate by large majority. We trust it may
yet be arrested in the House. The House at the
departure of the train was occupied in the second
reading of the Baltimore Bills, which were oppo-
sed by the sitting delegation from this city. One
eloquent gentleman is represented to have de-
clared, more than once, that Mr.. SWAMI had inau-
gurated more reforms in the city of Baltimore
than any of his successors. Our information is
that the second reading of the reform Bills will be
concluded before the adjournment. All tie
amendments proposed were promptly voted down,
and the Bills will certainly pass in their present
shane.

MIGNoT, particularly the view up the river and OF

a visit, and we commend it accordingly to the at
