''If our Western friends can in anv

bread, all the yellow people, especially
the yellow children, who are supposed
to be turned yellow by the fever and
ague and bilious fevcrs, will soon be
turned white. 1t is a great mistake to
suppose that the yellow countenances o,

The banyan-tree is the favored habi-
tation of these monkeys, and among it's
many branches they cut strange antics,
undstul bed by any foes excepting
snakes. These reptiles arc greatly
dreaded by the monkeys, and with good
reason. However, it is said that the
monkeys kill many more snakes in pro-
portion to their loss, and do so with a
curiously defined cruelty. A snake may
be coiled among the branches of the
banyan fast asleep, when it is spied by
a Hoonumap. After satisfying himself
that the reptile really is sleeping, the
monkey steals upon it noiselessl y, grasps
it by the neck, tears it from the branch,
and hurries to the ground. He then
runs to a flat stone, and begins to grind
down the reptiles head upon it, grinnng
and chattering with light at the writh-
lngs and useless struggles Of the tortured
snake, and occasionally inspecting his
work to see how it is progressing.
When he has rubbed away the animals
jaws, so as to deprive it of its poisoned
fangs, he holds great rejoiclngs over his
helpless foe, and, tossing it to the young
monkeys, looks complacently al Its de-
structlOD.
A ROMANTIC THO OF BEAUTIFuI. SIS
rBRs.- FAST WOMEN AS SUCCESSFUL
| GAMEsTERs AND RUSSIAN PRINcKssEs.
Three sisters, all fast, recently set up
a gambling house in ST. Petersburg,
Russia, and being pretty, and clever,
amassed much money and married men
of position. Growing weary, and hav-
ing obtained all they desired Of their
connubial partners by the matrimonial
relation, they contrived by secret charges
against their liege lords to make it ap-
pear that they were plotting against the
Gar. The husbands we're sent to Sibc
ria, and the wives managed to secure a
good portion of their estates. They then
went to London, assuming to be Russian
prlncesses, and are now there, intriguing
in politics, and making a sensation by
their beauty and their admirable coquct-
~. They gamble extensively, and win
fabulous sums of gallant gentlemen in
high position, who beco ne fascinated by
their charms. What will be the end OF
the gittering career Of these Circcan
sisters, the correspondent who relates
the above, does not prophesy.
SHELLS FLYING AT SEBAsroPoL.-A
letter from Sebastopol states that acct
dents still occasionally occur in the en-
virons of that place, from shells which
did not explode when fired during the
siege. Quite recently, two Russian
travellers, named Molkof and Ivanoff,
found a percussion shell near ruined
bastlon. One Of them having taken it
up, IN throwing it down again, caused
1t to explode. Ivanhoff was killed on
the spot, and Molkof so seriously in
Jured that his life is despaired OF.

ANY one considering the advantages of Iron

will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since. In its security against fire there is
all overwhelming reason for its adoption.
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cailse of its not being generally adopt

ally, and the Orleans Press. the largest in n O..
give it the preference over rope. The Fassmann

tnat IL Is found. after long experiment to COM

The hoops are sent Of any length from eight

neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break, And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall he
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more or
