The Power of Snuff.

Rudolph Won Gardenfeld, chief ply
sician in the Bavarian army during the
Napoleon wars, tells the following ::
"Once I was gathering plants In a
small forest near Moisen. Suddenly
1 came upon a man who was lying on
the ground, and whom | at once sup
pesed to be dead. On drawing near
to him, however, 1 perceived he was
still alive, but in a fainting state.
Vigorously 1 shook him; at last he
opened his eyes, and asked me, in a
lamensable and scarcely audible voice,
whether L had any gnuff with me.
When gave in a negative answer he
fell back into his former condition. L
now went in search of snuff, and was
fortunate TO meet a peasant, who kindly
came with. me to the fainting man, and
gave him some pinches of snuff. The
man soon recovered, and then he told
me that he had 20 go certain distance
as messenger, and on starting IN the
morning, had forgotten to take his
snuff bex. AS he went along so violent
became his craving for snuff, that he
was completely exhausted, and had
fallen down in a swoOn at the spot
where found him. But for my op-
perfume arrival, he said that he must
surely have died"

A Case of Absent-Minded

GustGve Planche was poor, as liter
airy geniuses generally are. He sub
mItted to his poverty half through a
stocial disinterestedness and half
through a carelessness which came from
his temperament, treating questions of
interest with the disdain OF poet and
the simplicity of a child. The editor
of the "Revue des Deux MOndes"
tried to clothe and feed him without
alarming his pride, but with Indifferent
success. On several occasions he en-
tered into conspiracy with the hiIer of
Planche's lodgings to steal the critics
worn-out clothes and replace them with
new, made after the pattern and color
of the old. Planche being absent
minded, did not remark the substitu-
ton. This absent-mindednes was one
of his most striking traits. One day
some one remarked black stain on his
trousers, and spoke to him of it, adding
that it was the more conspicuous being
on gray. 'What gray ?" asked Planche.
MY breeches are brown" 'What, do
you call that brown ?" The critic
looked down at the article in question,
and saw that 1t was Individually gray.
"Yet would have sworn that it was
brown" said the wearer. He evidently
thought of garment he had worn in
time past.
In his wanderings he sometimes did
not return to his lodgings for two or
three days at time, when the landlord
took advantage of these absences to
rent his room for a night or two. Two
or three times Planche returned unex-
pectedly, when the landlord persuaded
him that be occupied another room
than his own. At first Planche, on
these occasions, thought there was
some mistake, but when the man of the
house repeated with an air of convic-
tion that the room into which he was
ushered belonged to him, and pointed
to his books and papers for which he
had quick memory, he allowed himself
to be persuaded.
Through love of isolation or the fear
of being assisted, he kept his address
secret. For long time even the editor
of his magazine, NJ. Buloz, did not know
it, and only discovered it by accidert.
He saw him in little hat shop having
his reddish brown hat, ia ertreHlis, put
under the iron, and drew near ana over
heard the address. 1t is hardly neceC-
sary to say that new hat found its
way to his lodgings, and that he did
not note the difference between it and
the old one.-The GGtdry for February.

MISCELLANY.
The Telegraph in 1865.

Old books are generally simple curl
osities, but Mr.. L. W. Buell. hands us
a book, printed in 1865, by E. G. for

Prof. Morse, suggested in the follow

'But (2) to advance another instance.
That Men should cover at very distant

represented. Let the friends that

Remark able Pedestrian.

A remarkable pedestrian feat has,
according to the FiHGnzG of Alexandria,
been lately performed by an Italian
named Giuseppe Ricci, who seriously
seems to have taken rather long con-

ago from Alexandria to Constantinople
in search of employment, but being un-
successful in his object, Ricci resolved
to return to Alexandria. A slight diff

notwithstanding the "wretched impo-
tence of gold" it is uncommonly diff

Ricci at first tried to work his passage
back in a steamer or ship, but fllllng
also in this endeavor, be set his face
resolutely southwark and determined
to work or beg his way to Egypt. He
accordingly started off with light
heart and thin pair of breeches," aud
after marching for one hundIed and
fifty-eight days across the peninsula OF
Asia Minor, and along the coasts OF
Syria and Palestine, he arrived at Alex

was enjoying the repose he was justly
entitled to after his fatiguing walk.

Famous Painter at work.

A Paris correspondent of The Aca-
DENY writes an entertaining letter con-
cernine Charles Dursnd and his man
ner of painting. When sketching for
his picture of ''Dew, which represented
a nude figure of young girl standing
in a meadow, he had cage built en-
tirely of glass, about thirteen feet
square, in the park under the trees, IN
which his model could undress without
fear of catching cold, while he could
see the human flesh in full light and In
its exact relations of color with the
leaves of the trees, the verdure of the
grass-plots, and the flowers OF the
borders. The correspondent describes
Durand as "an agreeable man with a
fine tenor voice. BE stops short IN the
midst of his work as soon as he feels
tired, takes a guitar, and huns Spanish
airs, accompanying himself in style
that would bring to the balcony all the
pretty girls in Granada or Seville.

cruise of the Basilisix.

The return OF the maiesty's ship
Basilisk to England, after a commission
of nearly four years, deserves more
then passing notice, on account of the
Maritime discoveries made by the ship
discoveries whose extent can only be
appreciated after a comparison of the
latest existing charts of Torres Straits
and Eastern New Guinea with the charts
issued, by the Admiralty containing the
results of the Basilisk's survey. TO
put the matter shortly, We may state
that the officers and men Of her Majesty's
ship Basilisk have surveyed about 200
miles of coast line, added at least u
first class harbours, several navigable
rivers, and more than 100 islands, large
and small to the chart and. lastly.
have been able to announce the
existence of a new and shorter route
between Australia and China. 1t may
be generally known that till these
Basilisk discoveries were made large
Archipelago of islands some as large as
the Isle of Wight, and densely popu-
lated). a rich, fertile country, intersected
by navigable rivers, and inhabited by a
semi-civiliZed Malay race, remained IN
known to US. After the news of this
ships discoveries reached England.
Lieut. Dawson, r n. admiralty Sur
veyor), was sent out to join her, and
she was ordered to complete and follow
them up. This has been done with per-
feet success, and the whole of the
previously known shores of Eastern New
Guinea have been carefully surveyed,
and the route above referred to opened
up.
The principle of this work of dis
covery and surveying has been per
formed by the captain and officers in
small open boats, detached from the
ship in some instances for many weeks,
and among savages VINO had never be-
fore seen white face. The relations
established with the natives we;e al
ways most friendly, and such as will
form a good basis for former inter
course. The health of the ships company
was satisfactOry-indeed, surprisingly
good, when we consider the life of con
stant exposure in a tropical climate and
the anxious and arduous labOur re-
quired. The ship was in constant
danger of loss on the treaeherous coral
reefs which surrounded her, and officers
and men alike may be congratulated on
their safe return. as well as on the sue
cess which has attended their enter
prise.

tains, about 1000 feet high, facing
each other on the northeast coast of

The Advantages of winter.

Winter makes nations mainly by
driving men into social unities, and
obliging them to live with each other
and devise ways for their amusement
and instruction. In a mild climate,
where there is no necessity for men to
dwell under a roof, they wander
abroad, and in a great measure dis
perse with each others society, so that,
although they may have a certain
amount of clrsory enjoyment, they are
comparatively uninstructed. But, in a
severe climate like this, when the cold
season shuts men out from the field
and they retreat from their ordinary
avocations, and the days are short and
the evenings are long, the dwelling be-
comes a school-house, and there must
be conversation and reading. Under
such circumstances the family is q
centre of knowledge; and, if there be
any leaven in it, centre OF Christiani'
zation.

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.
By WILLIAM BRYANT,

Twas evening. and before my eyes
There lay a landscape gray and dim;
Fields family seen and twilight skies
And clouds thst hid the horizons brim
| SAVIOR was it that dreamed?-
A waking dream ?-I cannot say;
For every shape as real seemed
As those that meet my eye to-day.
Through leafiess shrubs the cold wind hissed
The air was thick with falling snow;
And onward. through the frozen mist
saw weary traveller 30.
Driven e'er that landscape bare aud bleak,
Before the whirling gusts of air,
The snow-fakes smote his withered cheek,
And gathered on his silver hair.
Yet on he Jared through binding SHOWS,
And murmuring to himself he said

And higher rise the drifts l tread.

Each tuft of green they whelm from sight
And they who journeyed by my side
Are lost in the surrounding night

The love that to my friends bore;
We parted with the sad farewell
OF those who part to meet no more.

And DER these snowy hillocks creep

Shot 10 my heart, closed my eyes,
And when opened them again
L started with glad surprise.
Twas evening still, and in the West
A flush Of glowing crimson lay.

And rugged cliff and barren steep
Cleaned with a brightness from on high.
And one was there whose journey lay
Into the slowly gathering night.
With steady step he held his way

And saw no shade of doubt or dread

And others came their journey o'er
And bade good night with words of cheer;
