ANECDOTES OF THE LONDON To-
ILLOGICAL GARDENS "A recent Lon
don letter relates the following Cos
sip concerning the Geological gardens
and their occupants, showing the
danger to which the least careless
ness may expose
Not long ago man too tipsy to
be cautious was poking up with
stick the cobra di capello in one of the
cages in the serpent room at the To-
illogical gardens; the serpent darted
and touched the man, who died in
exactly ten minutes. The wound
was on the nose, and was such as
might have been made by the touch
of needle. The snake was killed
why, | know not--and Mr.. Frank
Buckland, the naturalist, who has
charge of the gardens, was dissecting
its body. Whilst doing SO he felt q
strange sensation coming over him,
and he went out of doors and talked
to workman near by, asking him to
drag him to chemist shop, and beat
him to death rather than let him fall
to sleep. They did pummel him
mercilessly and drag him to an apoth-
ecary shop, where he gasped out
ammonia !" They piled him with
ammonia and he recovered.
He does not know how the poison
was communicated, but thinks hs
might have cleaned finger nail with
knife he used in dissection. It is
curious problem for optimists to
consider why such magazine OF de-
struction as the cobra exists. Is it
a sewer to drain off the poison of
whole tribe of other animals, who are
thereby rendered harmless ? 1t is
the favorite snake with the eastern
charmers.
In two compartments, one above
the other, of a caravan at Mander's
menagerie, now exhibited in Liver
pool, a leopard and hyena were
recently confned-the former in the
lower and the latter in the upper
compartment. During the night of
Thursday last, the hyena tore up
the floor of its cage 80 as to be able
to get his head through. It would
then appear that the leopard beneath
seized it by the throat, and terrific
struggle ensued. The noise alarmed
the watchman, and Mr.. Manders and
others came to the spot. 1t was then
found that the leopard had pulled the
hyena through the floor, and SO tena-
cious was his hold that, although
Mr.. Manders freely used heavily
loaded riding whip on his head and
shoulders, the hyena was quite dead
when at last the leopard was beaten
off.

VERMONT ANECDoTE-The late
Rev. Zeb Twichell was the most no.
ted Methodist minister in Vermont
for shrewd and laughable sayings.
In the pulpit he maintained suita-
bic gravity of manner and express
ION, but out of the pulpit he over
flowed with mischief. Occasionally
be would, if emergency seemed to
require, introduce something queer
into a sermon for the purpose of
arousing the tagging attention of his
hearers. 1t was him who originated
the story of the great mosquitoes.
Seeing some of his audience were
getting listless and sleepy, he paused
in his discourse and digressed as fol-
lows
Brethren, you havn't any idea of
the suferings of our missionaries in
the new settlements, on account Of the
mosquitoes. In some of these re-
gions they are enormous. A great
many of them will weigh a pound,
and they will get on the logs and
bark when the missionaries are COM
ing along"
By this time all eyes and ears
were open and he proceeded with his
discourse.
The next day one Of his hearers
called him to account for telling lies
in the pulpit.
"There never was a mosquito that
weighed a pound" said he.
"But / didn't say one would weigh
a pound. / said a great many of
them would weigh pound, and I
think million or more of them
would"
"But you said they would bark at
the missionaries"
"No, no, brother; ! said they
would get on the logs and bark"

GENERAL GRANT is i'm New York,
On Sunday, in company with John Van
Buren,, Esq, he attended service al
Grace church George w. Morgan, the
organist, exerted his well-known capac
tiles, and accomplished the service with
his finest music. AT the conclusion OF
the service, the people fingered about the
church doors to get a more satisfactory
view of the General than was afforded
them from his seat in the pew. When
he emerged, the irrepressible, the inev-
liable Brown accosted him on the side
walk, and said:
General, will you walk in and hear
our celebrated organist, Mr. Morgan,
perform some Of his overtures %
In response to which, the General de
livered the following extinguisher:
"Mr. Brown, | have an engagement.
Idon't know one tune from another, and
would rather hear bass drum than an
organ any day."
The General, after this characteristic
reply, entered the carriage, and was
driven away. Brown gazed at his van
ishing proportions, and calculated: well
General, there's one thing-I am bet
ter undertaken than you are :" which OBJ
servatiOn seemed to heal his wounded
feelings, and he turned to enter the

THEFT IN HIGH LIFE. A gossipping
New York correspondent says that one
evening last week wedding took place
In the family of an eminent citizen.
Among the bridal presents was a most
elegant set of diamond earrings. While
the wedding guests were examining the
gifts, these earrings were suddenly
missed. 1t was soon ascertained that
only two carriages had left the house.
1t was thought that one of the parties
occupying them must have been guilty
of the theft, and such proved to be the
case. A lady of high social position
stole the earrings. The affair was
hushed up, and is known to only few.

Grant and the Iron Duke have certain
peculiarities in common. Neither will
ever be noted for loquacity. Like Well
ington, Grant says little in return for the
gift proffered him, except that she'll
take it, and goes off about his business.
And so the whole matter is all right, ex.
cept that the gift is not hall large enough,
