EGGS ONE THOUSAND Two HUNDRED
YEARS OLD The Paris correspondent of
the Nation, states that the gueats of the
Able Denis, curate of The Parish of St. Eloi,
in the Fouburg st. Antonio, dined a few
days ago on fowls whose immediate ancestors
figured, be says, on the table of the great
Frankish King Dagobert. When the Able
Denis aid the first stone of the church and
the presbytery, he had built by his own ex>
ertions, on the site of an old chateau and
gardens of Dagobert, hens nest full of eggs
was discovered beneath the ruins of the
ancient building. These eggs more than
twelve hundred years old, were about to be
thrown away by the laborers, when the Able,
remembering that wheat has been grown
from grain found in Egypt, in mummies,
dating back from the time of the Pharaohs,
bethought him that possibly there might
still be life in these eggs. A savant of the
institute, consulted at once in reference to
these precious relics of an age when there
was, as yet, no France to detect 'Perfdous
Albion or to be jealous of Prussia and needle
guns, advised their being forthwith con6ded
to hen af approved success in the maternal
capacity. This advice having been acted
upon, the good curate aud his friends had
the delight of witnessing twenty .one days
afterward the hatching of 6ne brood of
chickens, the direct progency of the denizens
of King DagObert's barn-yard. The fowls
thus obtained have been carefully kept from
any misalliance with their congeners of the
less ancient blood and the Able has now a
yard so well repenished with king Dago.
bert's fowls that he not only supplies his
own larder with poultry of this illustrious
breed, but is about to organize, at the sug>
gestion of numerous friend, a sale of king
Dagobert's fowls for the benefit of the poor
of his parish.

ANIMAL GRAZING Mr.. Best, French

ANIMAL GRATING Mr.. Best, French
naturalist, cut off rats tail and Joined it on
To the freshly cut tail of another rat the
parts grew together and waggled like any
other tail; in four months it was found that
all the proper vessels, veins, arteries, and
nerves were supplied. DR.. Allen, of Bond
street, narrales that tooth freshly drawn
from a negro boy was inserted into the
socket from which his mistress had "snag"
taken, and it grew firm and did her good
service for many years. 1t was considered
at that time, that as the boy belonged to the
mistress, so did his tooth and that hence the
exchange was no robbery. But the tables.
later on, were turned against the white man.
The owner of plantation had faithful aud
most truthful old negro, to whom he COM
mitted the fattening of turkey for Christ
mas dinner; but on Christmas morning the
turkey was no where to be found some Of
the other "hands, on being questioned, gave
the information, that the faithful old servant
had killed the turkey the night before and
made a good supper of it himself. The
master was surprised and greatly grieved /;
and summoDing the old man to his presence,
he acknowledged that he had killed and
eaten the turkey "But," said the master,
"don't you think it was wrong to steal from
me that way, making use of my property ?"
"Why, DO, massa, that's no stealing. I'm
your property and the turkey is in me, and
we bofe belong to you as before, only turkey
has changed places, and instead of being in
the coop be is in q safer place, in my SION
acb. and we bofe are yours, turkey and negro
too, and you have as much as you had be-
fore, so [ have done no wrong" The logic
puzzled the master, and be let Sambo off.

THE NEW MIDDLE STATES,

The Atlantic Almanac, for 1869, contains
an article on that part Of cur Republic drain
ed by the Mississippi, which on many ac-
counts is worthy Of attention, as connected
with the future prospects Of increase and
wealth of the whole country. Not very
long after the settlement of Boston, persons
employed to explore the country they had
done so, as far as they believed would ever
be necessary, which was about Screa miles
west of the colleges at Cambridge. This to
them was the beginning Of the great West.
Settlements afterwards made in the valley
of the Connecticut removed the limit little
further. The Indian wars and the Revo-
luton carried it to the Ohio, IN our latitude,
and to the Mohawk, further north; then it
soon advanced to the Mississippi, and still
further away beyound the Missouri; and the
Mexican war aud the discovery of gold in
California removed the boundary of our
great West TO the Pacific Ocean. The State
in the valleys watered By the Mississippi
aud its tributaries may, therefore, now be
justly termed our "Middle States

SYMPIIs.

Between the time Of the raw school girl
and that Of the finished young lady is
short season Of the nymph, when the phy-
steal enjoyment Of life is perhaps at its keen
est, and a girl is not afraid TO use her limbs
as nature meant her to use them. nor
ashamed to take pleasure in her youth and
strength This is the time when sharp
run down a steep hill, with the chance Of a
tumble midway, is an exercise by no means
objected to; when elamhering over gates,
stiles, and even Grabbed stone walls, Is not
refused because Of the undigni6ed display of
ankle which the adventure involves: when
eaping a ditch comes in as one Of the ordi-
nary accidents Of marsh-land walk; and
when the fun of riding is infinitely enhanch-
ed il the horse IS only half broken, or bare
backed.
The nymph, an out-ofdoor, breezy,
healthy girl, more after the pattern Of the
Greek Dread than the amazon, is found only
in The country; and for the most part only
in the remoter districts of the country. In
the town she degenerates into fastness, ae-
corliug to the law which makes evil merely
the misdirection Of force, as dirt is only
matter ia the wrong place. But among the
mountains, in The secluded midland villages,
or out IN ths thinly-populated moorland
tracts, the nymph may be found in the full
perfection Of her nature. And a very beau
tiful kind Of nature it Is; though it IS to be
feared that certain ladies Of the strieter sort
would cali her tom boy, and that those Of
still narrower way Of thought, unable to
distinguish between uneonyentionality and
vulgarity, would hold her to be decidedly
vulgar-which she is not-and would Won
der at her mother for letting her 60 on
so.
You laIl upon the nymph at all hours and
in all seasons. Indeed, she boasts that no
weather ever keeps her indoors, and prefers
a Ettle roughness of the clements to any
thing toe luscious or sentimental. A fresh
wind, sharp frost, binding fall of snow
or a pelting shower ofrain, are al high jinks
to the nymph, to whom it is rare fun to
come in like a waterdog, dripping from
every HdiI, VI sAdhtDS tAS HiiO" III +1i''-7-1N
from her hat and cloak. She prefers this
kind Of thing to the most suggestive beauty
Of the moonlight, or to the fervid heats Of
summer, and thinks long walk in the crisp
sharp frost, with the leaves cracking under
her feet, worth all the nightingales in the
wood. And yet she loves the spring and
summer TOO, for the sake of the flowers and
the birds and the beasts and the insects
they bring forth; for the nymph is almost
always a naturalist of the perceptive and
selftaught kind, and has q marvellous
faculty for finding out nests and rare habitats
and for tracking unusual trails to their hid
den homes.-Fr0m tie London Saturday

BEAUTY AND BRAINS.

Men do not care for brains in excess in
women. They like a sympathetic intellect
which can follow them, and seize their
thoughts as quick as they are uttered. but
they DO not much care for any clear or spe-
cial knowledge of facts; and even the most
philosophic among them would rather be set
rightin a classicalquotatioD, an Astronomical
calculation, or the exact bearing of a polite
al question by a lovely being in tarlatine
whom he was graeiously unbending to in
struet Neither do they want anything
stroBg-minded. To most men, indeed, the
feminine strong mindedness that can discuss
immoral problems without bIushing, and
despise religious observances as useful only
to weak souls, is quality as unwomanly as
a we'll developed biceps or a huge fist would
be. 1t IS sympathy, not antagonismi 1t is
companionship, not rivalry, still less su-
pramacy, that they ike in woman; aud
some women with brains as well as learning

thought and intellectual rights, show theirs
defantly, and meet with their reward. Men
shrink from them. Even clever men, able
10 meet them on their own ground, do not
feel drawn to them, while all but high-class
minds are dwaTfed and humiHated by their
learning and their moral courage. And
this is what no man likes to feel in the pres
ence of woman, and because Of her supe-
riority. But the brains most useful to wo-
man, and most beftting their work in life,
are those which show themselves in com
mon sense, in good judgment, and that kind
of patient courage which enables them to
bear small crosses and great trials alike with
dignity and good temper. Mere intellect
ual culture, however valuable it may be in
itself does not reach to the worth Of this
kind of moral power, for as the true domain
of woman is the home, and her way Of or
dering her domestic life the best Of her fac
ulties, mere intellectual culture does not
help in this. and, in fact, is often hind
rance rather than a help. Saturday re-

WHAT the ARMY and NAVY cosT US.

The estimates for the current year Of the
United States government for army and
navy together are ffty-seYen millions of
dollars in curreney-equal to forty millions
of dollars in gold. These are big figures
to be sure; but comparing them with the
expenditures Of France for her army and
navy, they are not so extravagant as they
look. This year France, with much
smaller population than we have, viii

gold more than We DO, on these two depart.
ments of the public service alone With
the same amount of debt and annual pro-
duetion, she spends in time of peace twice
as much as we do, and her army and navy
expenses are three and half times as large
as our own. Considering that the "Em-
pire is at Peace, figures Ike these dwarf
our national eztrayagance almost to parsi-
mony. OF course Napoleon holds the
dubious advantage Of being always prepared
for war. lie has at this moment. ready to
respond to the first cannon shot, one million
two hundred thousand soldiers, equal to any
the world ever knew, one-ftth more than
the whole number we disbanded when our
Tate unpleasantness was over Another
evidence Of the perfection land costliness] Of
the French military system, is afforded by
the fact that not only at the Navy but also
at the War Office, a committee of superior
officers meet every week to discuss all mat
ters affecting the progress of their profas-
sions, and to examine the reports of cor
respondents from the principal States in
the world, as to the doings Of those Powers.
For the last two weeks, the War Office has
been occupied with the subjects of military
telegaphy and ballooning, and are said to
have before them q plan to remedy that
great drawback to working the wires on the
baule fields, viz the injury caused by
horses and carriage wheels. A synopsis Of
the proceedings is forwarded TO the Emperor
next day. Under the direction of this
committee. experiments take place nightly
with the new mitraille, the effects of which
are terribly destructive. Altogether, peace
in France must be almost as costly thing
as war in this country-Ereatag Star.
