necte1 series of letters from the French
Struggled into Jersey
The result history knows; the intend
leon went elsewhere.
"But what put you on the scent 2"
asked -1y uncle afterward, with many
apologies to the expert.
81 suspected the trick from the first,
although it was very good specimen
of it. The letters were too innocent,
and had too little point in them. But
they were done with admirable skill.
The grammar was complete; and the
little dots or marks which bun2ler use
to guide them in writing the words
which are to be read were entirely alb
sent. The way in which the deception
is effected is this: The correspondents,
before commencing, take a sheet of pa
per and cut holes in it. which, of course,
in two half sheets exactly correspond.
They each take one half-sheet; and
when letter is to be written the writer
so arranges the words that those intend
ed to be read shall appear in the holes
when the half-sheet is placed over the
paper, which is Of the same size. When
his correspondent receives the letter, he
places his half sheet over it, and reads
off the words, as you did The difficult
ty, which was SO well conquered in this
case, is to make the sense run fuently,
and TO prevent any visible break in the
writing. Without the half-sheet with
the holes in it, no one can have the
slightest clue to the real meaning.
"My suspicious, once aroused, We're
confirmed by the inquiries which !
made. The whole story about the Sis
ier was fabrication. The letters did
come from Jersey, the answers we to
Fleet street, to the charge of very noto-
rious agents. But if our friend had
not been fool enough to leave his halt
sheet i'll his desk, we mi GIT have CROPPED
in vain forthe mystery"
Beaumont disappeared that night,
and was never heard of again at the
Admiralty. 1t TRANSFERRED afterward
that some accomplice had warned him
of the experts visit to the Admiralty,
and his inquiries in Jersey. He had
made an attempt to get admitted to his
rooms, but was scared by the sounds
| he heard, and contrived to escape tc
| France. The lady who acted the sister
and who visited the Admiralty, partly
! to put the authorities off their guard
and probably also to interchange tnt
key to the cipher, was a Partisan celeb
rity, who, bob before and afterwards
was renowned for her daring in politi
cal intrigue.

A Remarkable Child.

The Carrolton Gazette says: We are
told singular story, by party &C
4uainted with the facts, with reference
to child of Mrs. Lizzie Walker of
Whitehall, the second daughter of our
old friend, Alex. Lakin. During the
period in which Mrs. w. was enciente.
she was annoyed by the visits to her
house of strange cat, which had made
several vicious attacks on one OF her
children. Fearing that the cat would
1nt1lct some serious injury upon the
child, she availed herself of the first
opportunity to kill the animal. When
this was presented, she took it to IKE
woodpile and cut its head off, which fell
before her in such manner that she
momentarlly witnessed its death-eri-
maces. Last week the lady gave birth
to daughter, and it was discovered
that the babe did not possess the right
hand. On the stub of the arm is a per
fectly formed cats face, but without
ears.

There must be matrons and there must be misses

Dearest, my love. my souls love, shall hol you;
Close to my beating breast some day shall fold you

Spite of the man in the moon.
Grandfather's stirring, sweet;
Hurry, M darling;
He will be coming here soon.
I've only taken two; threes an odd number:
There now the old man may wake from his sumber,

The Dread OF the Monkey Toward
Snakes.
From Darwin's Descent of Man.


Brehm gives a curious account of the
instructive dread which his monkeys
exhibited toward snakes; but their GU
riosity was so great they could not
desist from occasionally satiatipg their
horror, IN a mot human fashion, by
lifting up the lid Of the box in which
the snakes were kept. / was so much
surprised at this account, that ] took
stuffed and coiled up snake into the
monkey-house at the Geological Gar
denS and The excitement thus caused
vas one OF Che most curious spectacles
which [ ever beheld Three species of
CercoDhithecus were the most alarmed;
they dashed about their cages and utter
ed sharp signal cries of danger, which
were understood by the other monkeys
A few young monkeys and one old
Anuhis baboOn alone took no notice of
the snake. / then placed the stuffed
specimen on the ground in one of the
larger compartments. After time all
the monkeys collected round in a circle.
and staring inteEtly, presented ludi-
crous appearance. They became ex-
ceedingly nervous; so that when wood
en ball, with which they were 1amiliar as
plaything, was accidentally moved in
the straw, under which it was partly
hidden, they all instantly started away.
These monkeys behaved very different
ly when dead fish, a mouse, and some
other new objects were placed in their
cages; for though at first frightened,
they soon approached, handled and ex-
amined them. L then placed a live
snake in a paper bag, with the mouth
loosely closed, in one of the larger com
partments. One of the monkeys i'm
mediately approached, cautiously open
cd the bag little, peeped in and in
stantly dashed away. Then L witnessed
what Brehm has described, for monkey
after monkey, with head raised high
and turned on one side, could not re-
slst taking momentary peeps into the
upright bag, at the dreadful object
lying quiet at the bottom. 1t would
almost appear as if monkeys had some
notion of geological affinities, for those
kept by Brehm exhibited a strange,
though mistaken, instructive dread of
innocent lizards and frogs. An orang,
also, has been known to be much
alarmed at the first sight Of turtle.
