POLICE SCANDAL IN PARIs.-A singular oc

just served to illustrate the police annals of

were immediately consigned having been Dor

longer. 10 pass the time more pleasantly, no
doubt, he went with ungallant aud eager
haste to lodge his complaint at the Prefecture
de Police. The fair lady, meanwhile, whose
delicate nerves had been quite overset with
the rudeness of the ill bred jeweler, who had
presumed to ask her TO return his property
was seized with the sudden resolution to have
nothing more to do with so vulgar, ill-manner-
ed an individual. Henceforth, she would oe-
stow her custom on another. So she immed.

nomcnon, whatever its origin might be, natu-
raj or supernatural, was peculiar to our own
coast. 1t appears, however, from an extract
given by some of the English papers from Sir
Emerson Tenants recent work on Ceylon,
that something very like it is known at Bat
talloa, in that island ard is attributed to a
rather less poetical and mysterious origin
that is, to peculiar species of shell fish. They
are said to be heard at night, and most dis
tinctly when the moon is nearest its full, and
are described in terms that correspond very
close with the accounts given of the Pascagou-
la music by those who have heard of it. But,
according to the same authority, it is not in
Ceylon only that this submarine music is
heard. Sir Emerson says:
Sounds somewhat similar are heard under
water, at some places on the western coast of
India, especially in the harbor of Bombay
At Cadera, in Chill, musical cadences are said
to issue from the sea near the landing place ::
they are described as rising and falling fully
four notes, resembling the tone of harpstrngs,
and mingling like those of Battaoa, till they
produce musical discord of great sweetness
and delicacy. The animals from whence they
proceed have not been identified at either
place, and the mystery remains unsolved
whether those at Battalloa are given forth by
fishes or mollusks.

MYSTERIOUS Music ON THE GUILE SHORE
The mystic music sometimes heard at the
mouth OF the Pascaeoula River, on a still
night, is one of the wonders OF our coast. 1t
is not confined, however, to the Pascagoua
River, but has often been heard at other places
AT the mouth of Bayou Cog dePInde and
other inlcis opening into the Gulf along the
coast of our own country, the curious listener

every other sound is hushed, may sometimes
hear itssstreums coming apparently from be-
meath the water, like the soft notes of distant
AEolan harps.

HAY REQUIRED FOR Cows.-Ohs Brigham
OF Westborough, after 70 years experience in
farming, says, in the New England Farmer,
that good cows will eat ON an average 2Obs of
hay per day, when giving milk, and 15lbs
when dry-not by guess work, but tested by
actual weighing for months at time. Then it
is easy to calculate the cost of milk In the
neighborhood Of New York, the average value
OF hay is one cent pound, and the average
quantity of milk not over six quarts At three
and halt cents quart it will pay the hav
bill and one cent day over. If other feed is
given the increase OF milk must pay for that.
The manure will be worth at least the cost of
of attendance and milking If the milk is
worth more than three and a half cents, it
gives profit; and if less a loss. The rule is
useful one for those who buy hay, as it shows
them how much must be provided to winter a
cow We would not risk provision of less
than two tuns per cow

vent their vengeance on any Indian they
may meet, be he friend or foe. A Shoshone
is as likely to fall as Pah-Ute, and more
so, because an enemy will escape from sight
while a friend sees no occasion to fly. The
death of a. single ShoshoEe may lead to a
confederation of Indian tribes and bloody
savage war, such as finds scarcely parallel
ill American history. The tribes to the
north east of US are noble race of men,
large, powerful, brave, and well supplied
with horses and arms. They know every
inch of ground and can retreat to hundred
strong holds along the eastern borders of
California and Oregon, or on the deserts,
where the whites can only come through
much suffering and expense. The natives
can live upon roots, grass, grasshoppers, or
any thing which chance may offer for food,
sweeping on fleet horses from one spot to
another, while the whites must always be
encountered with baggage and stores. The
Indians, too, will never fight except they
have the advantage of place or numbers,
and the snot for battle they will always
select for themselves. Thus we conceive
the want of proper agent of the govern
ment in Western Utah, to tcmporize and
rule the hour to be great.
