AN EXTINCT RACE. -One Of the most
remarkable races that ever inhabited the
earth is now extinct They were known
"a the Guanches, and were the aborlgi.
nes of the Canary Islands. In the six.
teenth century pestilence, slavery and the
cruelty of the Spaniards succeeded in to-
tally exterminating them. They are
described as having been Of large stature,
but of singularly mild and gentle nature.
Their food consisted OF barley, wheat,
and goats milk and their agriculture was
of the rudest kind. They had religion
which taught them of Il future state of
rewards and punishments after death, and
Of good and evil spirits They regarded
the volcano of Teneriife as 4 punishment
for the bad. The bodies of their dead
were carefully embalmed, and deposited
in catacombs, which still continue to be
An object OF curiosity to those who visit
the islands. Their marriage rites were
very solemn, and before engaging inthen
the brides were fattened on milk A
the present day these strange people ar'
totally extinct.

THE DEATH OF KING THEODORE -
A French traveller in Abyssinia, not
friendly to the recent English expedition,
writes to the Paris papers the following
account of the death Of King Theodore
:'Theodore did not commit suicide
Having witnessed the destruction Of his
army. and having searched death in vain
amid ball and shell, when he saw the
head of the enemy's columns crown the
breach, he understood that his last hour
,van como hs saw that resistance wao
impossible, and that he was about to be
made prisoner. This reflection made mm
roar If the English captives had been
still in his power. their death would have
been certain, In fit of fury, or rather
madness, he ordered their determination,
forgetting that they were free in the Eng
lish camp, On seeing his power fleeing
from him with the blood of his soldier,
contemplating his empire destroyed, his
dynasty overturned, his reign finished,
two streams OF tears coursed down his
cheeks; the muscles Of his face and chest
were contracted with pain, and his limbs
writhed in mute despair His bitter suf-
ferings should atone for many of his
crimes. Two of his body guard, pistol
in hand, stoeod silently waiting his order.
He gave his will to one, and crossing his
arms over his breast he prayed; then
with hollow voice he repeated several
times, Ethiopia! Ethiopia my wife
my children!' The gate trembling un-
der the blows Of the assailants, was Civ
ing way. Proudly raising his head,
Theodore drew his sword to perish like q
European. In the bosom Of the Trinity
said he to the guardman, fire They
both aimed at his head, but the courage
of one failed, and his arm fell inert. The
other obeyed, and his bullet broke tn,
skull of Airica's brayest warrior.

DoN'T BE A LOBSTER. Your lobster,
when left high and dry among the rocks,
has not sense and energy enough TO work
his way back to the sea, but waits for
the sea TO come to him. If is does not

although the slightest exercise would cn-
able him to reach the waves, which arc
perhaps tossing and tumbling within a
yard of him. There is tide in human
affairs that casts men inte eight places, u
and leaves them there, like stranded lob

ANEcDoTE OF GENERAL GRANT.--
During the campaign Of 1864 several
privates were engaged in unloading barrels
Of ''salt horse" from a transport at City
Point. and were in charge Of a Lieuten-
ant Of New York Regiment, who took
every occasion to show his authority.
To one ofhi abusive remarks one Of the
privates made reply, whereupon the Lieu
tenant administered severe kicks to the
offender who offered no resistance, but
continued on with bis work. A short
thick set man, wearing rather seedy
officers cloak, who had been standing by
for some time, hereupon threw off his
cloak and coat and proceeded to help un-
load the transport.
after the task was accomplished, the
officer donned his coat and cloak and
asked the Lieutenant, in very civil terms
his name and regiment
Lieutenant--, Of the
New York Vols. BY what authority do
you ask.
Report yourself Immediately to your
Colonel under arrest, by order of Gen.
Grant, for cruelty to your men, and res
member that abuse of privates by officers
IS not tolerated by the present comman.

The Bewitched Terrier.

Sam johnson was cullud man.
Who lived down by the sea
He owned rat tan terrier
That stood bout one to three
And the way that creature chawed up rat
Was gorjuss for to see.
one day the dog was slumberin.
Behind the kitchen stove,
When suddenly wicked flea
A ugly little cove
Commenced upon his faithful back
With many jumps to rove
Then up arose that terrier,
With frenzy in his eye,
And waitin only long enough,
To make touching cry,
Commenced to twist hisself around
Most wonderfully spry.
But all IN vain, his shape was such
So awful short and fat
That though he doubled up hisself
And strained hisself at that
Ills mouth was half an inch away
From where the yarmint sat
The dorg set up an awful howl,
And twisted like an eel,
Emitting cries Of misery
At every nip he'd feel,
And tumbln' down and jumpin' up,
And turnin' like wheel.
Sam johnson heard the nois, and came
10 save his animile
But when he see the creatur spin
A barkin' all the while
lie dreaded hiderfobia,
And then began to rile
1.-THE pup is mad enough" says he,
And luggin, in an ax,
lie gave the rechid terrier
A pair ofawful cracks,
That stretched him out upon the floor
As dead as carpet tacks.

4 correspondent of the Genesee Farmer says
that after the grain is in the bin, and made
level, we may spread evenly over it a quantity
Of slaked lime-one quart to twenty-five bushels,
or in that proportion. If the rats or mice come
upon it they will DO SO but once and will leave
the premises. The lime must be fresh slaked
and perfectly dry. To keep out insects the lime
must be mixed thoroughly with the grain. It
can be separated from it by running it through
tanning mill. On grain used for stock feed it
will do no injury y small quantity is rather a
benefit to animals.
