Remarkable contributions to the sanI-
tRry Fair, --.g.,--,,
The chairman of the Committee on
Phenomena report hd.h
A LETTER FROM THE NORTH PoLE-
/" We send you Il first class Aurora Bo-
reals. 1t carries its own gas light}p
The committee think It can be accom-'
modated in the unoccupied space above
the Bazaar. The same letter says;
"Also a remarkably fine iceberg isonr
the way" The question is, how shall
we getit over the mountains.
From ITAIY.-The Pope sends one
Of his famous "bulls"-very tame and
quiet; said to have cast its horns. rl
Germany sends for the Refreshment
Room the "Diet of Worms and for
the Historical Cabinet, tho original
record of the Council of Trent, said
to throw valuable light on the Trent
affair."" ..U.. .ar eu.
An Astronomical Society of Europe
sends for the jewelry tables the 9Ring
of Saturn" and the "Belts Of Jupiter"
The latter are quite large and show
considerable waist. ...5
Egypt is to representations of the
wheels of Pharoahs Chariot, fishedup
from the Red Sea-onc ofthe lean line
that another Pharoah saw in dream
and bottle of "Egyptian darkness
the last, particularly well preserved. d
A committee ofEnglishmcn (nobles,
merchants and ship builders) send q
very curious artice-some Eaglih
Southern sympathy. 1t is said tore-
semble eXhilerating gas, and to leave,
the inhaler in very exhausted state;
also to cause temporary blindness. On
account of its explosive nature it iss
sent in an iron clad box, curiously
shaped like ram, and packed in Sea,
Island cotton. Whether it will not
evaporato in our climate before it can
reach the Fair, is question. Physi-
clans suggest that the smell Git is said
to smell very badly might cause such
of our poor wounded soldiers as may
visit the Fair to feel u dangerous rush
ing of blood to the head. -
Even rebeldom is to be represented.
A soldier presents q trophy found in
Bragg's headquarters just after the late
battle of Chickamauga-a dead dog,
we'll stuffed, having brass collar on,
with the inscription, Jefferson Davis
cur, Ensy." Ensy is a name derived
from the Latin word Easis, which sig
nifcs Srord, showing that the eur was
one Of DaviS's dogs Of war. 1t is sup
posed to have been left by him on his
late visit to Bragg army in memoriam.
1t seems to have died a NATURAL death.
1t is q cross Of tho blood hound, and
shows features Of the two famous
Southern brcds, Secession and Chiv-
airy. We opine that its sire was the
celebrated blood hound, Trees on, SO
named because of keen scent after
fugitive slaves, hiding on trees in the
e swamp.
In the department of Reptiles, is to
be exhibited the great Copperhead of
!. Ohio, that was killed by the election.
1t is not in good preservation. The
head is badly mashed and, altogether,
it looks as if all the people in the State
had kick at it. ....
Perhaps, among the home contribu>.
tions, not the least observable will be
, the Pumpkin-vne from the fertile soil
Of Indiana, that grew so fast as to
= chase gang Of hogs all around the
: field.
, But Kcntu:lly will dispute the honor
: of sending the most remarkable natu-
raj phenomenon-thc Ground squirrel
that had race with a streak of light
0 ming on a worm fence, and beat it by
cutting the corners, while the light
7 ming had to 90 around. ...
=. 1t is said we are to have the power
c full Magnifying glass used by the South
$ Carolina Seeding Convention, with
+ which they looked at what they had
t to complain Of in the Union, and what
+ they were to gain by leaving it. r,
Among minor articles sent in, is q
J.: funny collection of Figures Of Speech,
found among the Southern chivalry,
IS very puffy and strutty; also from the
correspondents ofnoNSpapors, n large
= volume Of Rumofs, each Of which con-
tradicts its predecessor.
g We omitted, in the right place, to
If give the Astronomical Society men,
Ii toned above the credit of n PROPOSE
s. ton to send the Man in the Moon. -
.c 1t was objected that, being n lunatic,
if he would better suit n Southern EXhi-
:" bition. The proposition was dropped
as IA mere matter Of m0onshinc, any
l. how"
l. Apropos Of Natural Phenomena, can
$ anybody inform the Committee of the
i address of the Tall Man, who has tC
Of go into the garret to comb his hair and
A. into the cellar to tic his shoes? Can ht
n be procured? ? 1t is rumored he is com
If ing, "but it lacks confirmation.
