SINGULAR. Norristown Herald says:-s.We recorded the death of MT. Charles Lyle, gatekeepef by lightning. We also stated that no marks were visl- ble upon his body indicating that death followed from other than natural causes
 We hare since learned, however, that in preparing the body for sepulchre, Mr. Mowda-, the undertaken; could distinct ly see wlere the electric fluid had entered and leftthe body. It appeared to have commenced at the left shoulder and taking downward course, crossed the breast b the right side, descending the right leg, leaving an abrasion of the skin between two of the toes. But what is quite wonderful in connection with the matters the fact that upon the right breast vas the print of leaf found on the floor of the piazza at the dead mans feet The leaf was from an ailanthus tree in the yard, and with the stem measured about i've inches in length. The ribs veins and cellular texture of the leaf were psrfectly printed upon the skin, the while having red appearance. Mir. Lyle dnd in sitting posture upon @ chair, and when found his head inclined to one side. As his clothes were not disturbed in the least, it would appear impossible for the leaf to have come in contact with the skin. In comparing the leaf found with the impression on the body, the two were exactly alike in size and development. How the i'm pressiol was made on the skin is the mystery. It may have been the result of a species of photography familiar to scientists, but our readers would no doubt be gratifed if somebody would rise to explain."

HIS LUCK. Noah Thorp Pike was 73 years cld when he died in June last worth nearly half million of dollars. He cane to New York from Fairfield, Conn.,, forty years ago, with only fifty cents in his pocket. He worked on the same bench with Jonathan Sturges, the millionaire, as 8 journeyman tailor, in Fairfield. A short time after his arrival in New York, he entered a lottery office in Broadway with his little two-year old daughter Elizabeth in his arms. While he stood talking with the proprietor, his little daughter picked up ticket which was lying on the counter, and putting it into her mouth, began to chew it. The lottery man took the ticket from her, saying to MT. Pike 's You'd better take that ticket now. can't sell it. !" MT. Pike reluctantly purchased the ticket, for which he had paid one dollar and half. He put it in his pocket and went from the place feeling that he had been swindled. That night the number on MT. Pike's ticket was called, and few days later he received check for $4, 50O-N Y. Paper.

SEA ELEPHANTS. - Peron gives this description of the sea elephant, or pro- boscis seal It has the enormous dimen- sions of twenty, twenty-five, and even thirty feet in length, with circumfer- ence of from fifteen to eighteen feet, Its color is sometimes grayish, some times blue-gray, and more rarely dark brown 1t is earless has great whiskers, composed of strong, coarse hairs, very long and twisted somewhat like screw, with other. similar hairs over each eye eyes large and prominent strong, powerful paws, marsined with five black nails, very short tail, almost hid be- tween two fiat horizontal fins. When in state of repose it's nostrils shrrnk and pendant, serve only to make the face to appear larger, but, when he rouses himself, respires violently, is about to attack, or wishes to defend himself, the proboseis becomes enlongated in the form of tube to the length of about a foot. Females are destitute of this organization, and have the upper lip even somewhat cleft. In both sexes the hair is exceedingly coarse and close, and hence cannot be compared in value with the finer skins of many other seals.

A TwENTY-Two YEARS CRUISE Twenty-two years ago, James Steele, of this city, whose father was Samuel Steele, a we'll known coppersmitb, sailed from New London in a whale-ship. That was soon after the death of Zachary Taylor. It was a good while ago-as things now go-anG such project as the Atlantic Ocean tele- graph, or the abolition of negro slavery by a civil war, would have stamped its annun- ciator as wild lunatic. MT. Steele left the ship at Australia, and was by his friends here supposed to be dead. He sent many letters, hut none of them were received, and until this wcek-when he again made his appearance in Hartford, having arrived last week at New London he did not know of the death of his father his brother and other relatives. His ad- ventures since 1850 among the savages of the South Sea Islands, and in New Zealand have included wild and strange variety, and he has met pretty much every thing but death. He shipped on different whal- ing vessels, and cruised all about the anti podes, where Spring beglns in September and Winter in June. He finally married an English girl in Australia, who has now inherited some money, and MT. Steele thinks of buying himself home here once more.-Hortford (Conn.) TEmes.

"GEgUINE OLD ORIGINAL JACOBS. ."- Few there are in this city who have not heard the expression that heads this arti- whence it originated. About thirty years ago two Jews, whose patronymic was Jacobs, kept a bogus and second hand jewelry store on the west side of Chatam street, near Pearl, over the entrance of which was simply the name of Jacobs" '" They did thriving business for anumber of years, their customers being principally shop girls, servant girls and laborers j; but the partners personal relations were not amiable, and continued misunder- standings caused them to agree to seperate. The senior partner withdrew, and the junior partner retained the business. In the course of few weeks the former secured the adjoining store, and opened an opposition establishment, and over his door he raised sign bearing upon it, "The Original Jacobs" In few days the time hsRored sign of "Jacobs" was taken down from the first store, and replaced by one bearing upon it, "The Old Original Jacobs" The opposition as it may be termed, determined not to be outdone, hauled down "The Original Jacobs," and raised in its stead, "The Genuine Old Original Jacobs," which seemed to exhaust the adjective, and so the. stood until, like the famous Kilkenny cats, they eat each other up. One subse- quently went into the old clo' business, on the opposite side of the street, and the other opened cheap jewelry store on Broadway. The former partners after wards sunk into insignifcance, but "The Genuine Old Original Jacobs" passed into proverb.-N. Y. Paper.

QUICKLY CHANGED. This "personal'' of old Butcher, from the 'Recollections' of Lady Clementina Davies When the special messengers arrived to inform Butcher that Napoleon had escaped from Elba, and that his services would be immediately required in the field. they were astonished to find him literally running round and round large room, the floor of which was covered with saw dust, and in which he had immured himself under the delusion that he was an elephant. For the time it was feared that Butcher was hopelessly insane, or that he was so far suffering from detirism t,'emens that his active cooperation in the anticipated campaign would be i'm possible but when the urgent news was brought him he at once recovered him. self, and proceeded to give his advice in a perfectly sound state of mind, the tone of which was thus, as by sudden shock, restored to him.

A correspondent of the World gives late deceased author of the celebrated (the recent republication of which in the history of the New York press, has re- yived it as 8 subject of conversation, who had been many years Q secluded invalid on Staten Island, devoted to mathematical studies, was surprised, a few months before his death, by visit from Rip Van Wrinkle looking genius, who announced himself as 8 schoolmas- ter from the interior of New Jersey. He sid he had called to request Mir. Locke just to put him in the way of 'tsquaring the circle" He had known no peace among his neighbors for some years past m account of that plaguey thing the qaring of the circle, and at length they lad united to tell him that unless lie .ould do it he was unfit to keep school lmong them, and they would take their 'oys away. He added that he had called n tho Professor at Princeton about it, vho said 1t was altogether out of his line,
 md he knew of but one. man who was likely to do it and prove it to the satis- faction of everybody, and that was the author of the s'Moon Hoax" who resided lon Staten Island. ''So now I've hunted you up," he concluded, ''I hope you'll be kind enough to do it, or give mo a certificate that it can't be done" "Oh, certainly" said MT. Locke, "with great pleasure, and I hope it will restore peace between you and your neighbors write down your circle, and I'll tell you how to square it in moment" "Well, 'squire, said Rip, 1T don't know but one way of writing circle, and that is by putting down 360 degrees" Every good," said MT. Locke, ''nothing better that's it-now add unit to 360 and the circle is squared. It is now 361. the square of 19, so you can take that to the Professor with my compliments" The aAGn1shed schoolmaster knew enough of figures to know that such was the unde- nia|le fact, and he was very soon seen taking long strides on the north shore, with both hands deep in his pockets, on hisway to Bergen Point, to illuminate New Jersey with the discovery.

DIaEsrIBLE FooD.-Food is not well digested that is not agreeable to the taste, and flavor is quite as important in element as the quantity of nourish- ment in @ given article. What is not acceptable to the palate is not appro- priated to the system. Besides, some thing more than nutriment is required and a diet confined to the most nutri- tious articles would soon produce disease. Variety is indispensable. The stimulus of meats, the bulk and fragrant juices of roots and fruits, and the carbon of butter and fat, are all requisite to healthy diet; and is not economical, whatever it cost in money, that does not keep the body in it's best condition.

The First Parting.

"Yes I am off tomorrow mornl
 Next week sail for Indy! And you'll be glad when Pm gone
 Say, shan't you be, Lucindy?" A Summer flower, herself the maid
 Stood mid the sweet syringas, A June pink in her hairs smooth braid,
 A rosebud in her fingers. Plucked from the tall bush in the yard,
 Whose white flowers waved about her; And parting never seemed so hard
 As just then, to her lover. Her lip began to grieve the red
 Upon her cheek grew paler, ' It seems strange choice, Tom," she said, |" For you to be a sailor; "And when the wild, black clouds I see,
 And when the nights are windy, T." |" Bless your soul you'll pray for me; know you will, Lucindy!' The rosebud from her hand he took,
 "This fower," he said, "I1l save it, And keep it pressed within book,
 Remembering who gave it. I never cared, as women do,
 For garden beds and posies, But somehow--why, I never knew
 always loved white roses. "They seem just made for weddin's ; when I come again from Indy My bride, you'll wear white roses then;
 Come. won't you ?-say Lucindyl" A sudden flame upon her cheek,
 Her eyes the quick tears filing, The answer gave she would not speak, Lest she might seem too willing. For, "Tom," she asked, "how can it be? Here, all my life, you've known me; No word of love you've said to me,
 No sign you've ever shown me- And he said, "True, but though hainr, My love, I've wished you knew it, And tried to speak, and felt too faint
 At heart to dare to do it.; But when my mind was fixed to go
 sailor, out to Indy, I said, I'll have Yes, or Mo-
 o say it's Yes, Lucindyl" "Yes, Tom! it's yes [" she whispered; when I learned that you were going, I found you had my heart till then
 Twas yours without my knowing Soft on her cheek fell, wet with dew, ... A rose-leaf from above her; A warmer touch her red lip knew
 The first kiss of her loverl Though stilled the song and hushed the laugt And hot the tears are starting, What joy, that life can give, is half So sweet as love's first parting?

AFRIoA--Tn recent letter to the Pal MaU Gazette MT. Winwool Reade, has pointed out that Colonel Grant, in his Brighton speech on Livingstone's location in Africa, was certainly in error. Col. Grant has said that in his journey from Zanzibar to Gondokoro he had met with neither gorillas nor cannibals. As Dr. Livingstone has met with both, he must have miscalculated his position and been much further to the west than he thought. Mr. Reade, on the contrary, shows that Livingstone's reported situation is two or three hundred miles to the west of the country traversed by Grant, and he there fore sees no reason for thinking that the former has lost his reckonings.

The sale of explosive cigars has re- commenced in the streets of Paris. The cigars in question appear genuine to the purchaser, but contain minute squib or cracker, which, when the cigar has been consumed to certain point, ex- plodes, the cigar itself flying to some distance from the mouth of the smoker. These cigars are capable of severely wounding those who smoke them.
