TIE late weekly return of the British
Registrar. General gives the following
interesting information in respect to ram
fall:
"Rain fell in London to the amount of
Q 43 inches, which is equivalent to 4S tuns
Of rain per acre. The rainfall during last
week varied from 80 tuns per acre in Edin
burg, to two hundred and fifteen ,uns per
acre in Glasgow. An English acre consists
of 6.272,640 square inches; and an inch
deep Of rain on an acre yields 9,272. $40
cubic inches Of water. which at 277,273
cubic inches to the gallon, makes 226, 1928
gallons; and As . gallon Of distilled water
weighs ten pounds, the rain.fa on an acre
is 226,225 pounds avoirdupois; 2.24O
pounds are tun, and consequently IN inch
deep Of rain weighs loo, ,99s tuns, or nearly
ono hundred and one tuns per acre. To
every one hundredth Of an ir ch q tun of
water falls per acre. Ifany aericulturalist
were to try the experiment of distributing
artificially that which nature so bountifully
supplies, be would soon feel inclined to

AN ELEPHANT IN LovE.-A number Of
years ago two manageries were laid up for
the winter in storehouse on the bank Of
the canal at Pittsburgh. Here Hannibal
for the first time was thrown into the SO.
ciety Of Queen Anne. They were fastened
side by side, and an immediate attachment
Of love at the first sight, for the moment
Queen Anne was brought into Hannibals
presence, she ran her trunk into his mouth
the elephants style of kissing. All
winter they were continually caressing
each other, aud their demonstrations OF
mutual affection were really extraordinary.
In the spring, Queen Anne was taken
away to start upon her annual tour. The
rage Of Hannibal ut this separation was
terrific; for eleven days he refused to
touch q norSel Of food, the only nouIish.
ment that he received during that time be.
ing whiskey and water.
By dint Of continuous swaying or
surging against his fastenings, he succeed.
ed in breaking loose on the twelfth day,
when he took entire possession cf the es-
tablishment. The animals in the cages
were terribly frightened, dashing against
their bars, and filling the air with their
howls and shrleks. Hannibal ranged
around the building, reared on his hind
feet and endeavored to tear down the raj
tsrs in the roof with his trunk, but mo.
Tested none Of tho animals. In the mean
time large force of men were gathered /;
steel hooks attached to long poles were
inserted in his ears and shoulders, and
after great difficulty he Was "hobbled" and
cast, when the custinary discipline was ap.
piled with the usual satisfactory results
Queen Anne, who was OF more gentle dis.
position, bore the separation with exempla.

lRELAND.-From the tone Of the Irish
press-says an exshAnge-we infer that
the people Of the Enerald Isle are rapidly
organizing resistance to English authority,
and that an outbreak, of more formidable
character than that oi l848, msy occur at
any time. The police are kept busy rumag.
ing the houses Of suspected men, arresting
them on suspicion and throwing them into
PRISONS, without form Of examination or
trial. A case of this kind occurred 10
Skibbereen, recently, and the people were
so indignant that they burned their priest
in ef6gy, it having been reported that hs
was instrumental in furnishing the author.

arrest. Tho debates in Parliament, on tho
condition of Ireland, show that the stAtes-
men Of England are not without gave ap.
prehensions Of trouble. The Fsnians Up.

and the authorities arc industrious in fer.
riting them out. Those who act as inform
ers for the police are stigmatzed as "felon.
setters," and eAecrstsd by the populace
everywhere. Meantime. eve,y new arrest
adds to the excitement, and increases the

Lord PalnaerstOn.

AOr0 Fa4merStOA.
The London correspondent Of the Ayr
Obserusr gives the following anecdote of
the veteran Premier:
To give every one his due, Lord Palmer
nerston is an excellent landlord. l have
myself known many liberal acts he has
performed for his Irish tenantry in the
neighborhood Of Sligo. A few years ago
he was shooting over his wild property,
and after long walk came to dilapidated
hut, in which the only inhabitants were
an old woman and her pig. His lordship
was hungry, and asked if there was any.
thing to be got to eat, "God bless your
honor" said the old woman, ''sure there
are pra,ies and eggs at your SERVICE" and
she Immediately set to washing some Of
the former, and putting them in the pot
with their jackets, and she brought from a
basket about half dozen eggs, which in
due time were cooked and served with the
potatoes. Lord Palmerston appeared to
enjoy his primitive meal. Every one gets
good tempered after dinner, be it ever so
simple: so for want Of anything else to
do, his lordship thought he would chat
his hostess, and he asked who was her
landlord. "Oh. he's one Of the biggest
lords in the land; shure, your honor, its
himself that dimes with the Duane, and
tells her all that she ought to do; and
shure's she the good lady that listens to
him, and it's by these names that the coun-
try's governed" The Premier asked
about her rent and her circumstances, and
was told that she had been widow for
twenty years, and supported herself by
hard toll and never during that period
had she eaten meat, except when the pig
was killed. and then the greater part Of il
was sold to pay the rint, which "honor be
to God she never was behind"
She doubted. however, when her strength
failed her, and she could not work as she
then did, what would become Of her; but
added-"If my husband had only left me
enough to buy COW, and had these three
or four acres Of ground that's running
waste, I'd be as happy as the Duane Of
England" "Well," said his lordship,
Suppose was to speak to Lord Palmer,
stom." "Ah, faith, your honor, it's not
the like Of you that 'ud see Lord Palmer.
ston; didn't tell you he's the biggest
man in the country? and sure it's not
yourself that 'ud como within mile Of
him." SWELL" replied his lordship, "Ill
try; Pm not going to pay you for what ]
have until l try the experiment" "Good
luck TO your honor, but there is no more
chance of that than Of . poor creature like
me to see him wild my own eyes," His
lordship shook the old woman warmly by
the hand and departed. In . few days
after, = beautiful COW was sent to the old
woman, With q grant of ten acres of land
free as long as she lived. The poor cres
turs was overjoyed. perhaps more with the
honor Of having shaken hands with Lord
Palmerston, than with what appeared to be
her immense wealth-the possession Of a
COW and pasturage.

MEMORY IN DRowNING.-Some years ago
A. held bond against B. for several hun.
dred dollars, having some time to rum
WI en- the bond came due, A. made dill
gent search for it among his papers, but it
was not to be found. Knowing to q GER
tainty that the bond had not been paid or
otherwise legally disposed of, A. concluded
frankly to inform his neighbor B. Of its
loss, and rely upon his sense Of justice for
its payment. But to his surprise, when in
formed of its loss, B. denied ever having
given such bond, and strongly intimated
fraudulent design on his part in asserting
that such transaction bad taken place be.
tween them.
Being unable to prove bis claim, A. was
compelled to submit to the loss of the debt
and also to the charge OF dishonorable in
tentions in urging the demand. Years
passed away, and the affair almost ceased
to be thought of, when one day, while A.
was bathing in Charles river, he was seized
with the cramp, and came near drowning.
After sinking and rising several times he
was seized by friend, and drawn to the
shore and carried home apparently lifeless.
But by application of the usual remedies he
was restored; and as soon as he gained
sufficient strength he went to the bookcase,
took out book, and from between the leaves
took out the indentical bond which had been
so long missing.
He then stated that while drowning and
sinking, as he supposed, to rise no more,
there suddenly stood before him, as if it
were in picture, every act of his life from
his childhood to the moment when he sank
beneath the waters, and among other acts
was that of placing that bond in book and
laying it away in the bookcase. Armed
with the long lost document found in this
marvellous manner, A. called upon B. Of
whom he recovered the debt with interest
Similar instances might be given,
