A TOAD UNDREssING.-Audubon
relates that he once saw a toad un-
dress himself. He commenced by
pressing his elbows hard against his
sides, and rubbing downwards. AT
ter few smart rubs his hide began
to burst open along his back. He
kept on working until he worked al
his skin into folds on his sides and
hips then, grasping one hind leg will
his hands, he hauled off one leg of hi;
pants the same as anybody would
then stripped off the hind leg in the
same way. He then took his cast-off
skin forward between his fore legs In,
to his mouth and swallowed it; then
by raising and lowering his head, swal
lowing as his head came down, he
stripped off his skin underneath, unit
it came to its fore legs then, grasplng
one of these with the opposite hand
by a single motion of the head, and
while swallowing, he drew it from the
neck and swallowed the whole.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. "Wachus-
ett,' the well-informed correspondent
of the Boston Advertiser, thus refers
to the place of Mr.. Chase:
Chief Justice Chase occupies a sin
gular position in this episode of our
history. Ever since he assumed the
judicial ermine he has been heartily
abused because he did not rise above
the plane of party. He seemed am
bilious for the Presidency, and he was
constantly told that he did not appre-
ciate the loftiness, the value of the
great Office of head of the supreme
bench. Now at last. he seems to
have learned the lesson. Taught
something, perhaps, in regard to the
perils of the Presidency by the strait
into which the present incumbent of
that Office has fallen-taught some
thing, perhaps, of the magnitude and
responsibilities of the Chief Justice
ship by the great duty he has himself
been called to perform-he has at
last thrown off the trammels of parti-
sanship. Aspirations for political
advancement have been cast aside and
the Chief Justice represents simply
Justice and nothing lower. Upon
this Mr.. Chase is assailed with detrac
ton, to which the assaults made upon
his former attitude were as nothing il
comparison. Bitterness greets hin
on every side. Sneers reach hin
from the press. sneers from the Senate
sneers from the counsel, between whom
he strives to hold an even hand.
The boldness, the virulence of these
attacks can never be appreciated by
any one who has not personally watch
ed the scene from day to day in tht
/, chamber; for words having deer
meaning of suggestion and insinuatior
in the manner of utterance sometimes
lose all their effect and become harm
less as doves when put on paper
: Something different from such treat
ment as this, it seems to me, is due t(
the magistrate whose only offence is
determination to be henceforth only {
magistrate, and no more combatan
in the harness of party; and | there

like game keeper, but evidently a
gentleman, walked into the room with
quietness which strangely contrast

the two women followed, as red as he

wrath from a fruitless struggle with

have no personal knowledge eff
the Roman lottery system, but it is, [
am told, the greatest institution of the
city. 1t is under the charge of a high
dignitary of the church, who appears
at the weekly drawings in his ecclesi-
astical costume. The drawings take
place every Saturday in the Piazza
Madama, on the balcony of the Minis
ter of Finance. The numbers are
drawn out by the official and announc-
ed in loud voice to the crowd below.
The revenue to the church of the lot
terry is about thirty thousand per year.
In every street there are shops for the
sale of tickets. Great superstition
exists as to the numbers of the tickets,
and to select the right numbers is
matter of intense thought and prayer.
A lucky number is a subject of dreams
a.>1 d;uinatinn The agnni2ed rnni
tent, as you suppose, who is kissing
st. Peters toe, and twisting his face
into fearful contortions of remorse, is
only interceding with the apostle for
lucky "terno." If a man is assassi
mated, the number of the house before
which he is killed is sought at once as
peculiarly fortunate. If one falls
down and breaks his leg, he buys q
terno corresponding with the numbers
arranged in a book against the street
the house and the accident. Mum
bers are OWNED out Of all conceiva
BILE combinations circumstances, ,and
out of all conceivable events. Ii a
man takes the communion at certain
altar, and hears a certain priest, OF
goes to confession, he will turn to his
book and find the numbers. "AgnWs
Del" Lamb of Cod sc. "ALtare'

of these three numbers. And so tC
the end, The people, men, women
and children waste their subsistence
in these lotteries. They are crazy
over them, and in the most desperate
straits they are the most eager tol
gambling. 1t cannot be a matter OF
surprise, in such state of affairs,
that there should be no public securi
ty in this city, in respect to lite and
property. Nor is it strange that the
Italian people who, as one told me
"have lived so near to the Pope, anc
known so we'll what he is" shoulC
long to wrest from his hands a TEN
pOral power which he has so shame
fully used. And it strikes me that tht
Romish church can never become ;
pure church, or approximate to 8pir
