WbilciD, she editor of the Galveston Bulletin,
has recently returned from Austin after series
of hsr.bresdth 'scapes by food and field, which
be humorously recounts in the Bulletin. In going
TO the capital by stage, the miry and uneven con-
diIion Of the roads obliged him to rely largely
upon his locomotive resources, and On returning,
he and bis fellow travellers were spilled from the
same vehicle into the deep, mad waters of Rocky
creek. Mr.. whildin says:
OF the three passengers, Mr.. Mckee and your
correspondent threw of their overcoats. Mckee
climbed on the bottom of the coach, while the lat
ter swan for the shore, though he had never
done so before. DR.. Fielding weighed down by
the weight of two uppercoats, sank and nearly
drowned. In one Of his efforts be punched the
nose of your correspondent and knocked him ioto
deep water, drawing the first and only blood Of
the occasion. The place of coming out was q
hundred yards below the place OF going in, during
which time reached the shore three times, but
VAS carried away before being able to gallo
foothold.
The doctor was certsinly the most doIeful man
that has lived since the prophet Jeremiah edited
hs Book Of Lamentations. His heartfelt sorrow
tor the loss Of that cashmere dressing gown, the
present of some young lady, the embroidered
Slippers (green and gold) the tooth brush and the
box of powder, together with Boger's razor thst
te had used for ten years, and the hAe of which
could not be found this side of Hold Hingland," ;"
combined TO make him disconsolste. Like Rachel
mourning fer her children, he refused to be COM
forted for the oes of that cashmere dressing gow
Time will cure sll sorrows, and doubtless some
susceptible lady will replace the dressing gown
and slippers.

The USE OF SPARRows.-A writer In Oncs q
Week says Of these useful little birds t.s
Mr.. Edward Wilson, whose labors in the de.
pa;tment OF acclmatizstion are universally recog-
Bzed, and TO whom, if / mistake not. Australia
owes its eparrows, has ascertsned that no less
thsn fourteen hundred oockchafers' wings have
been found below the nest Of one pair of spar
rows. Each female Insect produces about forty
grubs, which burrow for three years in the ground.
preyiDg upon the crops during this time to an
enormous extent As many as one hundred thou
sand of these grubs have been found on one acre
OF land and as each acre will grow about forty
thousand mangolds or turnips there are about
three gTubs TO each root. In some years the
damage done by this single insect in France alone
has been estimated at the astounding sum OF fi0,-
GOO 600. A very simple calculation shows that
simply in feeding their young single pair Of spar
rows annually prevent the production of fourteen
thousand grubs, and the account In favor of the
birds is not yet complete, for sparrovs by no
n cans restrict themselves to cockchafers, even
vhen these delicscies are In season, but will eat
almost any kind of insect or grub that comes 10
its way. ai HrTa

Wherever the sparro xs and other small birds have
been exterminated, the crops have been destroyed

the destruction of birds have been compelled TO
revoke their law, and issue orders for their pro-
