"Of course we can do no such thing; we
don't pretend to know anything at all of
their habits, aad only gave, several weeks
ago, the experience of others who had been
observers of the "habiIs' of the insects in

THE LAND WE LovE.-One of the
handsomest, most ably conducted
and intesting monthlies published
is the "Land We Love, edited and
published by Gen. d. II. Hill, at
Charlotte, North Carolina. The
November number is really a lite
rary treat. Among the contribu-
tors are Gen. Barringer, DIR. Tick
nor, Prof. Preston, Paul Hayne, etc.
But fine as the literary contents are
the ilIustration-a lovely portrait
of Julia, the little daughter and on
ly child Of Stonewall Jacksonville
be, for most people, the great at.
traction Of the number. The Gal
weston News learns that Gen. Hill,
is canvassing for subscribers, and av-
erages % per day. We would like
to see at least 1000 subscribers from
this county. 1t is onc.of the ablest
periodicals of the present day. and
improves with every number.
By some means our October and Novem-
Der numbers Of this literary gem have not
reached us; We hope We have not been
stricken from its exchange list.

in the way that the editor of the
Houston Telegraph fell out with one
of his the other day" ,.;..-
Our conviction, expressed at the
time, that q statement of the facts
was necessary on our part, in order
to prevent wrong impressions going
abroad, is confined by the above,
and we are much indebted to the
Herald for publishing our statement.
Only one evil has resulted from the
affair, and that is that Mr.. Cabeen is
unable to attend to all the custom

late. Every man who has "fall-

trouble-prouided he settles the mat

chain with a resistant force of six thou
sand pounds is attached to the animal.
For five years past Mr.. Barnum has
been endeavoring to secure an animal of
this species, and ordered his agent in AT.
RIGA to secure one without regard to cost.
Mr.. b. L. Blayton, Mr.. Barnum's
agent, few months since wrote that he
could secure one for $4,000, but that the
British Government were making every ex-
ertion to secure it for the Geological Gar
den in London. PR. Barnum sent word
that he must have this one if it cost
much greater sum. Accordingly, the 60
rilla was brought to America, and is now
safe at the Museum.
When standing upright it is about five
and BALI feet in height, and is about the
color of an elephant. Its face has more
the appearance of human being than
monkey, with an eye exactly like that of
human being. Its hand is as delicate MS a
woman's, and it would not seem possible
that there is in it such muscular power.
This morning it exhibited an intense
hatred of Mr.. Brothwell, who was yester.
day instrumental in its capture.
Professor Davidson feeds the animal
upon vegetables, but allows nothing of acid
to be put in the cage. If the gorilla be-
comes irritatod it is soon quoted by pla-

A SEwED UP MoUTH.-It is said that

:uilty of lying, the law dooms him to have

jeet of his ambition. The chosen Ian
guage of blackguards is never the vehicle
in which gentleman conveys either his
feelings or his sentiments. 1t is not sur
prising that we should class you with those
whose manner of speech you adopt. Yon
inf3e calls himself gentleman. But o
gentleman never "sat in the seat of the
scornful" lie who seizes his opportuni-
ty to tramp upon those flowers which,
though they be weeds to him, bloom for
ever in the human heart and shed a light
OF gladness upon an otherwise dark and
fathomlcss sea-such man is no gentle
mAn. Yon naughty man, who decks HIM
sM out in the titles of his ancestors, aud
arrays himself in the attributes of past
grandeur, but has no personal claim to re-
speRt, is, from the nature of the case, no
gentleman. That envious, jealous man,
who regards all adventurous advantages
with such jealous concern who would
war with every one that happened to be
his superior, merely for that reason, is no
gentleman. His sneaking manner, his
covert sneers, his cringing hang dog look,

With all good grace to grace gentleman"
But Sir Walter Scott himself, next to
our Washington, the finest illustration ever
vouchsafed to man, of finished gentle
man, thus sums up the whole character

A Cocoanut Plantation.

A cocoanut plantation has altogether a
singular appearance. The trees being of
one age, are uniform height and thick
ness of trunk, and spread of top; they
are planted in horizontal lines of equal
distances, and, growing up straight aud
perpendicular, present a series of long,
tall, thin, gray columns, rounded over by
green, feathery foliage. The trees at
maturity attain height of forty feet,
unbroken by leaf or branch, and rarely
reclining more than two or three degrees
from perpendicular. The tops have a
spread of about twenty-five feet ia dame
ter, and as the trees arc seldom planted
farther apart than thirty feet, their foli-
age forms nearly an unbroken canopy,
shading the ground below. The nuts
grow in clusters between tho roots of the
leaves and branches at the top, in all con.
ditions of ripeness. If rot picked when
ripe, they drop; and, even with careful
picking, many nuts are lost by dropping
and being broken OH the ground The
force with which they fall is considerable
sufficient. if they alight on the head, to
kill man Of ordinary thick skull, and I
have thought it remarkable-at least
have never heard of a single case. This
is especially remarkable among the native
villages, which are thickly crowded with
cacoanut trees, under the shade of which
he huts repose, and the little black chill
lren play about from morning till night.
