That Bed-Bug Story.

A good thing never dies. Some eight years
ago, friend Turner, of the Grand Rapids Eagle,
had occasion to stop at the old Kalamazoo
House and owing to some misunderstanding
with the landlord, failed TO have the requisite
"chalk" administered, as doth seem fit for the
editor of widely circulated journal" Not
being maliciously disposed, however, he gave
the hotel and its inhabitants the following first
rate notice
g Y You see I went TO bed pretty ALFRED used
up, after hull day on the old road before the
plank was laid, kalkilatin on good snoose.-
Waal, just as the shivers began to ease off /
kinder felt suthin' trying to pull off my shirt,
and diggin' their teeth into the small of my
back to get good hold. Wriggled and twist
ed and puckered-all no use-kept goin' it
like all SIM"
Bime-by got up and struck light TO look
round spell-found about peck of bed-bugs
scattered round, and more droppin' off my
shirt and running down my legs every minute.
Swept off place on the floor, shook quilt,
lay down, and kivered up for nap.
No use, no use-mounted right on me like
passel of rats on meat tub-dug hole in
the kiverlid, crawled through and gave me
fits.
Got up agin, and went down stairs, and
got the slush bucket from the wagon, brought
it up, and made circle on the foor-got on
the inside, and felt comfortable that time, any
how. Left the light burnin' and watched EN-.
See EN- gettin' together to have a camp meet
in about it, and then they went of in a squad,
with an old grey-headed one at the top-right
up to the wall, out on the ceilin', till they got
to the right spot, and then dropped right plum
into my face. Fact by thunder
Waal swept them up again, and made a
circle of tar on the ceiln' TOO. Thought l had
EN- foul that time, but swan to man, if they
didn't pull straws out Of the bed and build
regular bridge across
Seeing an incredible expression on the Wis
age, he clinched the story thus:
It's so, whether you believe it or not, and
some Of EN- walked across on stills Bed-bugs
are curious critters and no mistake, especially
the Kalamazoo kind"
The weekly Butte record., 1861-02-09

The ANTARCTIC REGIoNs.-Lieut. Maurv. of
the United States Navy, who is now on Wis
it to Europe addressed the Royal Geograph-
ical Society of England, on the 29th uIt., in
relation to the Antarctic regions. He stated
that the winds near the equator, on the south
side, were more southerly than those farther
south, until between IS deg. and 40 deg. south
latitude, the wind during exactly half the year
is southerly and the other half northerly. The
larger proportion of water in the southern
hemisphere is sufficient to account for its
warmer temperature, and Lieut.. Maury accor-
dinghy supposes the effect to be produced by
the greater fall of rain observed in the south.
On the coast of Patagonia The annual fall of
rain, if festimated from the observed fall during
forty-one days, must be nearly twelve feet, in
stead of two feet, as in the neighborhood of
London and this great condensation of the
vapor, he assumes, causes it to part with its
latent heat, and warm the atmosphere The
mean height of the barometer is half an inch
less than north of the equator. Beyond so deg
south the wind blows generally towards the
pole, which he attributes to the comparative
heat of the Antarctic regions. The wind is al
so much stronger than in the north. The fire.
quent appearance of large icebergs in those
seas indicates that there must be land in the
Antartic region, for icebergs are never formed
at 500 Tho rarion fo hn pynIored iS onlv ton
days steam from Australia, and Lieut.. Maury
urged the society to enter upon the work Of
exploration. Important resources may perhaps
be opened, and if the Geographical Society
does not shortly undertake the matter, he said
the United States would. Lieut.. Maury was
received with much applause by crowded
auditory, and at the close Of his address the
thanks of the meeting were voted to him.

THE FORMATION OF CHARACTER.-Have you
noticed how it froze one drop at a time until
it was foot long or more. If the water was
clean, the icicle remained clear and sparked
brightly in the sun but if the water was but
slightly muddy, the icicle looked foul, and its
beauty was spoiled. Just so our characters
are forming. One little thought or feeling at
time adds its influence. If each thought be
pure and right, the soul will be lovely, and
will sparkle with happiness ; but if impure and
wrong, there will be final deformity and
wretchedness
