"seeiag the Elephant !"

A couple of lads in Portage City climbed
tree ou side the tent to get u dead head
view of Forepaugh's circus. What came of
it, the Register tells as follows:
Gas soon as the elephant was through
with, in the ring, the managers brought him
out and hitched him to the identical tree,
from the limbs of which the lads were view
ing the circus. To "a boy up in tree, this
thing looked little out of order, but they
kept as quiet as death, fearing that they
would either lose the closing views of the
performance, or be the subjects of the dis
pleasure of the circus man, if he should
discover them dead heading it to his show.
In due time the performance closed, the
crowd dispersed, and, horror upon horrors,
the keeper Of the animals now added to the
peris of their situation by hiicbng two
smaller elephants and u camel to the same
tree. Our lads now discovered that they
were in for u night of il, as all hands had
left, excepting nnly themselves and the
animals on guard below. All hope of es-
cape was now cut off About this time Rn-
meo concluded to investigate matters above
him, and with his trunk commenced trim
ming ont the smaller branches. Our boys
commenced climbing also, until they had
got above his reach and now the camel
took up the investigation, and pnking bis
ugly mug up among the limbs, he drove the
boys to the very uppermost branches of the
tree, where they were discovered, at day
break, by their anxious parents, who had
been searching for them in vain all night,
teeteriDg and tossed about like blsckbirds
nn the top of a ricesalk in windy day.
The boys saw more of these animals than
al the rest of the boys in town, and for
nothin',' too; and if they don't remember
the time for the balance of their natural
days when they sat up with Romeo, then
we miss our guess. Tue phrase seeing the
elephant" was to them practical applica-
tion, which they will always remember"

Animals witbaut Rralns.

NJ. Volt is demonstrating by expert
ment,-that a warm blooded animal, bird
ut least may live after its brain has been re-
moved. He skillfully removes with hooks
and calpel, the cerebral hemspheres from
the skull of a pigeon. When the operation
Is concluded, the poor bird hides its head
under its wing, and remains moti0ness,
with closed eyes, in this attitude, which Ii
resumes whenever it is disturbed, in order
to receive neurishment, and seems to be
overcome with profound slumber. This
condition lasts few weeks, after which the
victim of the singular muiilation leaves its
somnolent condition, opens its eyes, and
even attempts TO fly. II avoids obsia-
Giles, shuns the hand that would seize ii, and
appears to enjoy in full force the faculties
Of hearing and seeing.
Thence forth the pigeon without brains
cannot be distinguished from those with
brains, except by their forgetfulness of the
means of securing nourishment. They
would die of hunger in heap of grain; It
is necessary to introduce food into their beak
and stomach by the aid of small rod.
They COO boldly, come and 20, and
seem thereafter to he strangers to every sen
timent Of fear. When once they commence
walking, they continue the impetus follow
ing the same path around the same table,
and continually taking refuge in the same
corner.
One of these animals deprived five months
before of its cerebral lobes, seemed to have
recovered almost all its primitive faculties.
1t was sacrficed-to use the conventional
expression-audi its skull opened. Previous
to this, the space originally occupied by the
central hemispheres, in other victims, was
found to be filled either with a fiibrous mass
or serous fluid, while the cerebelum main
tained its primitive condition, and The skull
was sunken. In the skull of the pigeon in
question there existed white mass which
presented the character and consistency of
the white mass of the brain, divided in Two
hcmispheres, and filling the place which the
operation had left vacant.
In each one of the hemispheres there was
little cavity filled with liquid, while sep
tuni maintained them separate. The mass
was composed of primitive nervous fibres,
twice convoluled, and of true ganglion cells.
1t is the first case known of the renova-
iion of the brain, and the reestabishment Of
its actiyity

A few days ago we chronicled the latest
report about the great Shenandoah diamond,
which is remarkable as having been picked
up originally 'to throw at a rabbit" but the
picker pocketed 1t, and his grandchildren
discovered that 1t was diamond. And
now son of Mr., Robert Davidson, in Mont
gomery county, Maryland, has picked up
another stone to some purpose. He did SO

Rave IhEt PAiD THE GROWEh6E
The peach shipments from the Peninsula dur
ing the season just closed amounted to over
100000 baskets. They probably considerably
exceeded this figure and certainly were not under
1t. Taking this as a basis the Smyrna Times cal
culates that this Is equal to two baskets to tree
throughout the Peninsula, and says:
Putting the crop at this rate, and estimating
one huHdred trees TO the mere, (here ore about 108
but some are impcrfecD and that each basket
netted forty cents, we find that the crop for the
present year has averaged the grower $50 per
acre The average yield of grain per acre Is from
$40 to $50, we believe. The peach, therefore, &C.
cordinp to this calculation. has paid about double
the profits of the grain CROP the present year, but
when we consider that the former yielded nothing
last year and were under the same expense of cul-
tvation ns II they had yielded abundantly, the
proportion Is nearly equalized. We believe, how
ever, that the peach crop has been nnder-estima-
ted, as no accouu lis taken Of the fruits sent by
express, principally before the regular shipments
commenced, together with that sold locally and
to the canning factories. majority of the grow
ers iu This locality raised over two basket to the
tree, and we mention in our "l0cals" yield of
four and a-hali bushels to the tree. Whether or
not the crop is profitable, taking into considero-
ton the fact that we have had but three good
crops in ten years. we leave The farmers to judge
that Is, more profitable than other ciOps. We be-
eve that the general opinion now Is that they
are. Bit we feel quite sure that, had the crop
failed this wear thousands of trees would have
been 'scut down as cumberers of the ground"
and the peach business pronounced failure;
but as It is we feel pretty certain It will be great

ers are in much heiter heart than they were OF
the close of the 81 crop, because, owing to the
dry weather, the fruit shipped in such fine cond-
lion that the prices were kept up in spite of the
large yield. Peaches were shipped from this
town to Boston this season In excellent condition,
while in 81, when 1t raned almost every day, the
fruit could hardly be got TO New York in market
able condition. Many farmers who sold large
crops that year were rather discouraged than
otherwise Farmers WIN were looking blue then
and last year are "nush" now aud are paying their
debts or making Investments.

National Association, which was organized about
year ago by number of gentlemen, most Of
whom are blind, for the purpose of filling the
valid which exists 10 the supply of literary and
musical works for the uss of those deprived of
their sight. The enterprise must of course de-
pend Largely on contributions from the benevolent
as the demand for such works must necessarily
be limited while the cost of procuring them is
great. The association is now publishing Die
tlonary of musical terms the necessity for which
has long been felt, and deserves the most geuer.

benidcient work. We recommend Mr.. Hall to
our readers and hope he may meet with the lar

Mr. Hall has the unanimous recommendation
OF the clergy of the city, Protestant and Catholic

A correspondent writing from Halls store P.
o., In Baltimore Hundred. questions the correct
ness of some of the statements in one of 'Ram-
blers" recent letters. First, concerning Iudian
River, which the letter In question declared Sac
cessibe to vessels drawing three feet of water"
trading out Of Indian river that draw FIVE feet of
water and carry fifty cords of pine wood; most
Of our vessels draw about ~ leet of water, and
carry 1000 bushels of corn. At this postofice
there are nine more papers taken than ho has an
account off,
In relation to the canal our correspondent says
Rambler is msipformed, and says, "the Act to
cut Canal was only to draw the waters of the
Salt and Fresh Ponds into the waters Of Indian
river, they wunt a Canal from the Assawamap or
Little Bay into the Salt Pond, which might make
inland navigable from Norfolk, Va, to the waters
of Indian river"
