TmE CANE OF FLY LOo.-The story about

rounds sgain. The version is this year given
by the Cincinnati Commercial, and is as fol

- The detestsble canker that destroys mems
souls had made is appearance among the little
community Of pleasure seekers st the Yellow
Springs, under the auspices OF celebrated Al
derman Of this city, who is notorious for the
alscrity with which he will bet on anything,
from the juvenile game of pick or po, to the re
lstive length Of stFaws to be plueked out Of
hay-stack, and in the enticing form Of fly loo
1t IS in testimony that every afternoon from
twenty to thirty Of the very flower Of our mer-
camille population retire to private room, and
under locks and bolts give themselves up to this
satanic game. The players solemnly seat them
selves around table, each with lump of sugar
and a card bearing in plain letters his RESPONSE

The little insect, sll unconscious of the impor-

Rats have an unaccountable fondness
lor the taste of phosphorus, and to this
fact may be attributed the origin ofmauy
mysterious fires. These rodents build
their nests of infammable materials, and
take to them any stray matches that they
find lying loose. This accomplished they
undertake to crafty their appetites by
nlbbling the coated ends of the matches,
which are at once ignited, when the nest
is set in blaze, and the destruction of
the house, or peahaps the ship which con.
tains it, follows. Great care should al.
ways be taken with matches. The phos.
phorus which is used on them is nasty
and poisonous, Workmen engaged in
their manufacture often die fearful
death from exfoliatirn of the lower Jaw
and children who have sucked a match
if they do not die, usually suffer terrible
agonies.

QUEEN VIcToRIA's HALLUcryATroN.- Tho
mystery which has for some years sur
rounded the prolonged retiracy Of Queen
Victoria from the obvious Duties of her
exalted station, and which has given oc.
casion for many strange rumors respecting
tho mental condition Of Her Majesty, Is
gradually dispelling before the admissions
of her Ministers and others who have ac.
cess to her presence. 1t is clear that
grave fears are felt in high quarters with
reference to her infirmities, both of mind
and body, and that the crisis inscparablc
from change of rulers is liable to occur
at any moment. The particular mental
in6rmity under which Victoria labors.
and which has grown upon her day by
day, takes the form of harmless halluc-
ination. She has firm conviction that
her dead husband, Prince Albert, is
always present with her, and that she can
hold personal communion with him. She
has moods. it is said, when she will hold
an immaglnary conversation with the
Prince for an hour together, conducting
heE own share of the conversation aloud
az with the vigor and interest of old
times, In imitation of the Princes
frugal, almost parsimonious habits, she
superlntends as much as possible all her
private affairs herself, requiring the most
rigid economy from every department of
the household Her table is set with the
greatest simplicity, and she imagines that
her husband looks on well pleased. At
times, she will order knife and fork to
be placed on the table for his use, and
cause the attendant to place every course
before the empty chair as if tho master
still occupied it. This strange belief of
communion with the dead, 80 nearly
resembling that Of the sect in this coun.
lry known as spiritualists, is said to have
been incucated by the Prince himself
when alive, he having been a disciple of
Behmen aud Fichte.
