A SIAMEsE IN THE GEOLOGICAL GAnDENs.--A
good joke is told here of the Siamese En-
bassadors. A number of the Embassy were walk
ing together, few days ago, in the Geological
Garden, when one of them strayed away from his
companions, and accidentally mistaken by a
keeper for some animal that had escaped Away
went the keeper at full tilt after poor Siamese,
who, beho!d:ng this strange onset, took to his
heels and for dear life, with such speed, too,
that the keeper was entirely relieved Of anv mis-
givings ne might previously have had. He was, if
possible still further convinced of his suspicion
when he the unfortunate Oriental leap like a
wild cat into the branches of plane tree and clam
Der to the top. There the two remained for mo-
ment, the Samese above and the keeper below,
staring at each other. There they might have con-
tnued all dav, too, had not the crowd of sauuter-
ers, attracted bV the noise of the race, gathered
around and pointed out the ludicrous absurdty of
the mistake. The keeper, who at first obsti.
nate, was at length convinced, and very penitentiy
besought the noble stranger to descend. Not Dit
oft! This wor5bipper of the white elephant, with
q very expressive gesture, merely got up little
higher on the topmost branch, which ne succeeded
in straddng, and there held on until al integpre-
ter arrived. Alter explanation his higness con.
cuded to descend. He lett the garden still Cremb-
ling, and bv means relieved of his dread OF bis
pursuer.-Paras paper.
