COUNTRY WITHOUT A REPrILE.-Capt.
Hardy, r. A. E, writes an interestr letter to
the Field newspaper, commenting on state
ment that in Newfoundland there is not
snake, toad, frog or reptile of any Sort nor
any squirrels, porcupnes, mink or mice.
Capt. Hardy says:
Besides the aforementioned deficiencies,
found when visiting Newfoundland last
summer, that the fire flies were scintilaing
in myriads in the warm evenings over every
swamp in Nova Scotia; here not one could
be seen, nor was there another pleasing
summer visitor of our neighboring provinces
the night hawk. Considering the i'm
mense portion Of this island which is claimed
by bogs and swamps, | think the absence Of
all reptiles very curious; and plodded long
and often round the edges Of ponds and
swamps, hoping to see some little croaker
take header from the bank; and by sunny
slopes in the woods where, on the mainland,
they might be seen at every other STEP in
search OF snakes, but all in vain. believe
some of our common green-headed frogs
were recently transported to this island and
turned out into a swamp, such as would be
anu IoSINicHto Iul tup'II at IotO, but III
a few days, alas they all lay stiff on their
backs. In fact, Newfoundland seems to be
destined to remain as it now undoubtedly is
"a country without a reptile.
PAsrIMEs OF BRAZILIAN LApIEs.-The
Brazilian ladies think it fine to be fat; read
nothing but French novels; dress spendidly
out of doors, and live like pigs in the house
They all smoke and spit on the floor, or, if
on the balcony, aim at passengers heads,
which we suppose they think such fun
AS to picking the Inhabited heads of their
children in public reception rooms-there
cannot be the least objection to that; don't
the monkeys do it9
WHAT ARE They FoR?-The never failing
and extremely reliable "loyal" telegraph
tells us that the rebellion is as good as
crushed. If so, what does the dictator
Abraham want with 500 900 additional men
for three years. Is the crushing process to
be carried on in all the States9 Half a
million fresh troops, besides the number
already in the service, is a good many to
conquer crushed people, Repiew.

SLANDERERs! SEcEss1oNIsTs AND DEVILS
PREACHING P1ErY..-Who are these obnox

ult., in discoursing of and concerning the
magners Of the Hon John Conness chro n
icles thus:
so far as Senator Conness is concerned,
these maignat at..aks are harmless. They
can have no other effect than to damage the
Union cause and furnish an illustration of
the adhesivene-s of original depravity by
proving that thess slanderers have never met
with any real change of heart, but still re-
tain their first avowed secession sentim ell S
from which they pretended conversion on
!y from motives of selfinterest. Is it not
strange that such leaders should retain any
influence over intelligent Union men?-these
devils preaching pety?"
Whence it appears that many pretended

ItFThe Abolition State Convention aftel
selecting a delegation to Baltimore, ovel
whom John Conness will exercise complete
control, had a very stormy closing session
A resolution in effect rebuking the Peoples
Party of San Francisco, resulted in bttel
debate until the resolution was finally with
drawn. This was the only thing like success,
achieved by the old liners during the Con.

headed since the Convention.

The DEBT OF GREAT BRITIAN-It should
be borne in mind that while England is
carrying a debt of four thousand millions
it is at three per cent. per annum, while ours
is six per cent in gold, and that we are in
creasing it with a terrible rapidity when we
pay sixty per cent. advance on nearly every
thing the Government requires, on account
of the steadily depreciating currency. If
England hsd not collected in taxes while
her wars were goog on, more than double
the amount of that raised by loans, her debt
would have been three times what it is.

LIZ his office next dool TO DIR. S.
Walton, where he is fully prepared to treat
lhe natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-
tible artificial teeth on pivot and plate, in the
latest and most improved manner. Most
persons know the danger and folly of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
the travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience person may have, he it
liable to have some failures out of a numbes
of cases, and if the dentist lives at a distancer
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
save the tooth or teeth as it NAV be, other
wise the inconvenience and trouble of going
so far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of dentist near home. All work
warranted.
