hardly to be expected that Buffal0 will bear the en-

perhaps TO be regretted that the elevator men have

ton companies affected by these regulations VIII
make prompt application to bond their respective

hbited from transporting merchandise Ia bond after

striking fact that the dying never weep
The circle of sobbing, agonizing hearts
around produces not tear. Is it that he
is insensible and stiff already in the pangs
of dissolution ? That cannot be; for he
asks for his fathers hand, as if for strength

counting and announcement Of the Electoral
vote by the President of the Senate The
vote stood Oh for Grant and Cofax and so
for Seymour and Blair, including the vote of
Georgia When it came to counting the vote
ot Georgia, Butler objected but the vote was
counted in spite Of his objection, whereup n
BENJAMIN became exceedingly wrathy, and
pitched into friend and foe indiscriminatelv,
and hurled invcctives right and left. Others
replied to Butler in terms the reverse of COM
plimentary, and for awhile disorder and con-
fusion rcigned as in the days when the
chivalry welded the cane and brandished
the bowie knife and pistol in the halls of
Congress. Every Republican in the land
will unhesitatingIy condemn such disgrace

AMBERGRIs.-Capt Timothy c. Spaul-
ding of the bark Elizabeth of New Bedford,
while coming southwest of Madagascar,
struck very large sperm whale On open
ing the whale they had the good luck to
discover 2S5 pounds of ambergris-worth
on the spot $4,000 This rare and ex-
pensive article is found only now and then,
and generally in small quantities. The old
price used to be one pound of ambergris
for enc pound of gold Sailors say it is a
substance found on account of dyspepsia
in the whale ; it is never found in any but
diseased sperm whales, and rarely at that.
1t is an essential article in the manufacture
of nice perfumery.
To which the Bulletin adds
"The largest piece of which we have
any record, previous to the above account,
weighed 182 pounds, and was bought by
the Dutch East India Company l3O
pounds were taken some years ago from
whale near the Windward Islands. The
sailors have an eye to the lean and sick
whales, and the old hands at the business
prefer dyspeptic whale, with his hidden
treasure, to any amount of blubber. Am
bergris contains SO per cent. of fatty, fra
grant substance called enabreine, which is
extracted by boiling in alcohol. 1t is, in
its natural state, of bright gray color, hav
ing streaks of black or yellow. The sub
stance is of waxy nature, having very
fine grain. 1t is held to be the morbid
secretions of the liver of the sperm whale.
1t has rare fragrance, and the quantity
is so small that it always bears high
price. Ambergris Island, off the coast of
Yucatan, takes its name from quantities of
ambergris found on its shores, the excre-
tions of whales which feed in that vicinity.
