in trying to find route, came at last to
a solitary ale-house, where he entered to
refresh himself. On coming in he saw
four mcn, whose mien presaged him no
good; he, however, sat down and called
for something, These men pretended to
sleep, one of them rose, and, approaching.
the emperor, said he had dreamt that he
took his hat, and accordingly took it off.
The second saying he had dreanlt he had

And the fourth, with much politeness, said
he hoped there would be no objection to
his feeling his pockets; and, seeing Il

his hunting horn, was about to take that
too, but the emperor said, Stop, my
friend, dare say you cannot blow it | will

mouth, he blew repeatedly and loud
His people who searched for him, heard
the sound, and entering the cottage, were
surprised to see him in such a garb.-

A Bright Clown.

Henry ", of France, was fond of
playing practical jokes on his subjects, but
he sometimes found bright peasants who
were quite ready to take off the joke on
their side. Here is specimen
Henry w. France, being out one day
hunting, lost his party, and was riding
alone. Observing country fellow stan
ding upon a gate, apparent Ga on the
watch, he asked him what he w looking
for.
I've come here" says he, ''to see the
king"
Get up behind me- replied thu tarch,
"and will soon conduct you to the place
where you will be sure to see him."
Hodge, without any scruples, mounted,
but as they were riding along he put the
sagacious question
They tell me he's got power of lords
with him how may a body know which
is him"
The king replied that he would be able
to distinguish him by seeing all his
attendants take off their hats, while he
himself remained uncovered.
Soon after they joined the hunt, when
all the circle, as may we'll be expected,
were greatly surprised to see the king so
oddly attended.
W hen they were arrived, his Majesty,
turning to the clown, asked him if he
thought he could tell which was the
king.
" | don't know" said he "but faith,
1t must be one Of us two, for we've both
got our hats on"

age, however, was not offended, but po-

The other answered that he did not know,
as his watch had stopped, and continued
his walk toward the Museum of Natural
History, which he entered. He had not
been there many minutes before the same
person came up to him, with the air Of an
old acquaintance, and offered him a pinch
of snuff This Mr.. W declined,
saying he was no nuff-taker, and walked
away but some minutes after, having q
presentiment Of something being wrong,
he felt for his snuf-box, but instead of it
a piece Of paper in his pocket, ON which
was written, -" AS you are no snuf-taker,
you do not require box" He thought
the logic Of his unknown acquaintance
rather impertinent, and resolved to bear
his loss like philosopher; but what was
his amazement when, few moments af-
ter, he discovered that his watch had also
disappeared, and in his other pocket was
another note, in the following words =
".As your watch does not tell the hour,
it would be better at the watchmaker
than in your pocket" 1t is unnecessary
to say that he never heard any further

IyOry-HVhere it Comes From.

III NlIE greater share of the ivory of COM
Il merce is made from the tusks of ele-
plants; but the hippopotamus, the wal
rus. the narwhal, and one or two other
large animals, contribute the supply
The quality Of the ivory procured from
other animals is not equal to that of the
elephant There is, however, great diff
ference in the fneness and value of the
tusks Of the latter. Those Of the large
elephants, on the West coast Of Africa,
are OF superior texture, and very trans
parent.
The number of animals slaughtered for
their ivory is incalculable, and it is esti-
mated that over four thousand persons
annually fall victims to this hazardous
pursuit. England, alone, yearly con-
sumes one million pounds Of ivory, the
greater part of which is used in the large
cutlery establishment of Sheffield. This
quantity, at the lowest estimate, requires
the destruction Of over twenty thousand
elephants. Ivory must be properly sea-
soned before it is fit for use. The
straightest tusks, and those freest from
cracks, are considered the most profitable
An elephants tusk varies in size from
two to ten feet in length, and from twen-
ty to one hundred and eighty pounds in
weight.
The principal supply of ivory is obtain
cd from Calcutta, Bombay, Singapore,
Madras, and other East India ports.
Tusks are usually imported their full
length, and are afterwards cut into
smaller pieces by the workers in this ma
terial. In their natural state, the tusks
Of elephants are covered with thin rind,
and are generally hollow for considera-
BILE portion Of their length.
Immense deposits of ivory are found
in Siberia, imbedded in the ice and sand
During severe tempests these selections
are cast up by the waves of the sea, and
the inhabitants who live on that inhospit-
able coast derive great benefit from gath
ering up the fossil remains thus thrown
up by the elements This fossil ivory is
the tusks Of an extinct species of man.
moth, and is exported in large quantities
to China and Europe. From this pro-
life source Russia has obtained her lar
gest supply for many years The ivory
hunters gather their supplies in Summer,
and in Winter travel on sleds, drawn by
dogs, in quest of market. Numerous
caravans loaded with this precious mer-
chandize take their way together along
the same route, This harvesting Of fos-
sill ivory has been going on for five hun
dred years, but now appears to be as in
exhaustible as ever.
The tusks of the mammoth weigh from
fifty to two hundred pounds, and are used
by manufacturers as a substitute for AZ
rican ivory. 1t is said to be Of very
superior quality

the showcases of the richest plate glass set
in silver, are supported by counters elegant
lv panneled off, each panel being orna-
mented with gilt medallion of the leading
men Of the last ten years, from the North
and South. Even the floor is rich in tassel

besides, is new-of the latest patterns. Fit

it is the best in the world-a set OF silver

sides all these advantages, Mr.. Lewis house
has Others, for Major William c. Driver is
with him as salesman, and Mr.. Louis Kauf-
man presides over the watch repairing de-

par excellence, the skillful workman. We
wish Mr. Levi all success in his new abode.

The Bureau of Education has received

Of the country from abroad. A large part
of the facts and statistics necessary to an
swer these inquiries satisfactorily have never
been collected. Congress has not author
lied the printing of any of the several re-

PEELED to answer by correspondence inqui-
ries made of him.
Three thousand copies of the circular Of
information we're, by my direction, then

the demand has not been supplied.
The Commissioner has prepared con-
densed statement exhibiting the present
condition of education in the several States,
and containing statistics which, i'll q cOllec-

obvious that the Bureau, as at present con
stituted, bears no just relation to the vital
interests with which, to some extent, it is
charged. The Secretary refers to the Opln-
ions expressed on this subject in the last re-
port.

report relates to the public institutions OF
the District of Columbia. He says concern
ing the Capitol, that it may be regarded as
completed, and that the grounds about it
should be put in order at once. For repairs
Of buildings and improvements Of grounds,
he recommends the appropriation of 900,
which is less by $50, 900 than the sum voted
for the present year.
