OAKS PLANTED BY SQUIRRELs.-It is curious
circumstance, and not generally known, that
many of the oaks which are called spontaneous
are planted by the squirrels. The little animal
has performed the most essential service to the
British navy. A gentleman walking one day Ia
wood belonging TO the Duke Of Beaufort, had his
attention diverted by a squirrel, which sat very
composedy on the ground. He stopped to OBJ
serve his motions. In few moments the squirrel
darted like lightning to the top Of the tree be-
meath which be had been sitting. and in an in
slant be was down with an acorn In his mouth.
and began 10 burrow in the earth with his paws.
After digging hole, he staonsa 1ess,. so AZ
postsu suen covering II, he dsrted uD
the tree again. In a moment he was down with
another. which he buried in the same manner.
This he continued repeatedly.
The industry Of the little animal Is directed 10
the purpose Of securing himself against want 10
winter, and. as IT is probable that bis memory Is
not sufficiently retentive TO enable him to remsm-
Der the spots in which be deposited every acorn,
the industrious little fellow no doubt loses fe "
every year. A few spring up and are destined to
supply the place Of the parent tree. Tins Is

PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF KING
THEODORE.

The steamship America, from Bremen
and from Southampton May 10, arrived
last evening, and brings European adj
vices to that date.
All the London journals published on
Monday, the 18th inst, their special
correspondents' letters, containing de-
tails OF the capture of Magdala, The
death of King Theodore, and the des-
+",.ntinn nf Mn"da'a l.o..,,,4t, apSn tiiitt
King Theodore died by his own hand
The day before the arrival of the Brit
ish army, Theodore had summoned all
the prisoners to his presence, and had in
cold blood butchered over 800 of them,
some with his own hand, almost within
sight and hearing of the rest. The
same correspondent says: " OF the
strength of Magdala itself it is, per-
haps, impossible to give an adequate
idea. 1t is protected by lofty, almost
overhanging cliffs, so precipitous that q
cat could not climb them, except at two
points, north and south, at each of which
a steep, marrow path leads up to Il strong
gateway" Nearly dozen English
breech-loaders have been found in Mag
dala. The death of King Theodore is
thus described: Shortly after vollcy
from the English Soldiers, King Theo-
dore and his chiefs retired within Mag
'i>liS sliiNt tiiNiS NN ttitNN VIC Va
the British. AS the first soldiers APP
peared above the stociade Thcodore's
chiefs were shot down; but the King,
who had already dropped his royal robe
of silk to escape observation, fled from
the gateway to retired spot higher up
on the citadel, and there shot himself,
putting the pistol into hismouth. From
the plainness of his dress the body was
not at first recognized, but as soon as it
was identified, and on the approach OF
Sir Robert Napier, drawn forth into the
principal pathway, an involuntary cheer
burst forth from the soldiers around.
