Killed by a Corpse.

A Paris medical student has just
died insane, having become so in con.
sequence of an event that happened
in the dissectiug room. His subject
had been placed in q sitting position
while frozen, and its right arm was
kept above it's head against gravity by
the icy condition of the tissues and as
he worked, lost in his labor, this arm
came down and the cold hand struck
the student on the cheek. 1t was clear
upon investigation that the hot fire
made for the student had .thawed the
tissues, but the impression made upon,
his mind was too deep to be removed
by a rational explanation.

Cesar was a fine Newfoundland dog
of great intelligence, owned by Mrs. G.
A. Richardson, Of Lowell. One morn
ing she took the dog, with some OF the
children of her family, to a daguerreo-
type room, with Il view of having a
picture taken of the group.
For nearly an hour Mrs. r. tried to
place Caesar in a posture suitable for
the purpose of getting q likeness but,
when she thought he was all right, he
would slowly get up, shake his huge
body, and, of course, spoil the picture.
Annoyed at his conduct, Mrs. Il.
opened the door, and, in a stern voice,
said to Cesar, $50 home, Sir! You
have displeased me very much I; yon
shall not stay with us any longer
Hereupon Cesar skunk away with a
crestfallen look !; and Mrs. L. made no
further attempt to put him III the pic
ture. But the next day, much to her
surprise, Cesar came home with ii box
tied round his neck. What could 1t
mean? He seemed to be greatly
pleased, and wagged his tail expires

IT seems that NJ. de Lesseps' scheme
for making an inland sea in Algeria Is
meeting with serious opposition from
certain of the French journals. The
cause of this appears to be the fear les
the evaporation from such a wide ex'
panse of shallow water should bring
about disastrous climatic changes, the
influence of which would be felt across
the Mediterranean, extending over
France itself. One writer ventures to
predict a return of the glacial epoch.
In spite of these dismal forebodlngs,
NJ. de Lesseps has entered upon the
work in earnest, and with the prestige
of his former success as canal-builder,
will doubtless soou settle the question
by actual experiment, arguing doubt
less that, if the inland sea proves to be
u nuisance to France, a dam across the
canal will soon restore to Algeria her
sandy plains, and to France her vine
clad Subscriptions Journal.

sively, while waiting for the opening of
the box.
His mistress was still more surprised
when she found that it contained a fine
daguerreotype Of Caesar himself.
At her earliest convenience she called
on the daguerreotypist, to see how he
had succeeded in enticing the dog into
his room, and keeping him quiet. He
said that, on the morning following the
failure, he heard a noise in the entry,
as if some one was humping on the
door.
On opening it, he found Cesar stand
ing there, with wistful and eager face.
He tried to drive him away +; but the
dog insisted on entering then walked
to the old place directly in front of the
instrument, and sat quietly down, as
to say, "Now, sir, l am ready to make
amends for.my undignified behavior of
yesterday"
Seeing at once what the dog wanted,
he took the hint, placed his instrument
Alright, and the result was a very fine
picture.
AS soon as he saw that the artist had
done with him, Caesar rose and stretched
himself, with the satisfaction of one
who had wiped out a disgrace by max
ing reparation. He then waited for the
daguerreotype, which was tied around
his neck, and he trotted home with it to
his MISTRESS Uncle Charles, IN the
NMrScru.

4 TRICK.

An exhibition is now being given in
London which Will do much to under
mine the belief of credulous people in
so-called spiritual manifestations. The
conductors of the exhibition, Messrs.
Maskelyne and Cook, are sending all
the clergy cards of admission. 1.-The
object Of this invitation" says the En-
gIjSh Churchman, sis declared to be
the wish of the performers to make
known as widely as possible the facts
that they effect all the maryels per-
formed at a seance of the Spiritualists,
and yet assert that all their feats are
done by the aid of human appliances,
and have nothing superhuman about
them. And most marvellous are those
feats The attendant asked for the
loan of q coat, and within ten seconds it
was turned inside out on the back of
Maskelyne, who had his arms through
the sleeves, although both his hands
were fastened to the seats with cords,
fastened with a seal, the impression of
which had not been broken or defaced.
The lender, on this occasion, doubted
the truth Of his coat having been really
put on by Mr.. Maskelyne, and asked
him to put on n second coat which he
knew to be marked with the singularity
of having the sleeves lined with scarlet
flannel, when to his infinite surprise,
within a few seconds, the door of the
cupboard was opened, and the operator
Was discovered with his hands appar-
emily still tied down as before in the
tight grasp Of the sealed hempen cord.
It is a comfort to be assured by Maske-
lyne's own authority that he is neither
witch, wizard nor necromancer, and has
no familiar spirit to aid him Ill his
tricks"

PLANTS.

1t is well known that plants sleep at
night !; but their hours of sleeping are
a matter of habit, and may be disturbed
artificially, just as a cock may be woke
up and crow at untimely hours by the
light of a lantern. De Candolle sub
jected Il sensitive plant to an exceeding
ly trying course Of discipline, by COM
pletely changing its hours exposing it
to a bright light all night, SO as to pre-
ven sleep, and putting it in 4 dark
room during the day. The plant APP
peared to be much puzzled and dis
turbed at first /; it opened and closed its
leaves irregularly, sometimes nedding
ip spite of the artificial sun that shed
its beams at midnight, and sometimes
waking up from the force OF habit, to
find the chamber dark in spite OF the
time of day. Such are the trammels OF
use and wont! But after an obvi-
Gus struggle the plant submitted to the
change, and turned day into night with
out any apparent i'll effects.

Going Nutting.

ueihs Nutt1hS.
Every bright, pleasant day in Octo-
Der, and even in November, can be
made into n season of much enjoyment
by going nutting in the woods, where
all are free to gather up the harvest of
the past night, and to watch for the
nuts as they fall during the day, even
if the owners will not allow their trees
to be dubbed or climbed.
The dropping of these nuts is a COM
pensation for the death Of the flowers
and the falling of the leaves. The chilly
nights and the clustering days of au-
tumn, which blacken the tender flowers
and ferns, hush the melody of the
birds, and carry away every vestige Of
the summers prime, are themessengers
at whose bidding the chestnut burrs
open their thorny husks and the val
nuts their shaggy barks; while the
ground is strew- with their treasures,
to the great enjoyment of both young
folks and squirrels. And even older
folks will sometimes take pleasure in
renewing their youthful feelings under
the greenwood trees, and gather nuts
almost as rapidly as the nimblest fin
gered child in the party.
With sacks or pillow-cases slung over
their shoulders, and tin-pails or baskets
in theirhands, crowd ofnutters
sally forth TO improve the pleasant
holidays of the season. How merrily
the music Of their cherry voices rings
through the long aisles OF the forest /!
How the dry underbrush crackles under
their footsteps, while the chippering
squirrels, cawing crows and screechipg
bluejays stare at the boisterous intru-
ders, without sign of welcome, but
seemingly greatly annoyed at their APP
pearauce!
Yet what care the boys for their
opinion? So they set manfully to
work, and if permission has been OBJ
tanned from the owners of the trees,
they Chamber up into their scraggy
branches, and with strong blows given
with q will, by the aid of long poles,
thick showers of bhrrs and nuts fall
quickly to the ground, while the eager
hands rapidly transfer them into their
baskets or sacks. So the sunny hours
pass Oh then lunch is satisfactorily
discussed, and renewed attacks are
made upon the stores of the trees.
Around many towns, the harvests of
the nut trees ATE Of too much value
to permit Of indiscriminate raids upon
them. But there are yet kindly-hearted
owners of valuable trees, who remem-
Der the pleasure of their nutting days,
and enjoy seeing a laughing, merry
group of young folks under their chest
nut trees, even if they consider their
shas-barks too valuable to give away.
To them let us give thanks, and pray
that their shadow may never be less.
For what country boy and girl does not
delight in going nutting?
Oh, those halcyon days! How sweet
is their memory :. 1t gilds with radiance
every autumn day, and brighters the
dying year. Cut down, if you will,
woodman, the oaks, naples, pines and
hemlocks /; but spare us-oh, spare US
tho chestnut, walnut and butternut

a correspondent of the Chicago Jour
nal says : "A startling announcement
from Paris will interest your lady read
ers. The new style of head-gear is to
be the old fashioned bonnet, with brims,
crowns, strings, and perhaps, curtains.
1t appears that the conclusion has been
reached that the prevalence OF neuralgia
and kindred diseases, unknown com
paratively a few years ago, has been due
to the fashion of leaving the head, neck,
ears, and throat without any protection.
The large number of weak eyes is also
attributed to the want Of shade afforded
by the fall or curtain. | am afraid,
however, that the argument will not
hold good, for neuralgia is almost as
common a complaint with men as with
women, and We certainly have made no
change in the c%himney-pot construc-
tons we call hats"
