" The gorilla is the largest Of the anthro.
poid apes; and since his discovery in lSl7,
by DR.. /. S, Savage, he has attracted
much attention from natualists. The
writings of Du Chaillu have done much to
familiarige us with this remarkable animal;
and its strength, ferocity, and cunning
have made it remarkable, even in these
days Of natural wonders. The gorilla is
chiefly found ON the west coast Of Africa,
both north and south of the equator. 1t
is genetally seen in troops Of four females
and one male; and these never associate
with other animals, The muscular power
of the gorilla is prodigious He marches
steadily towards his enemy, beating his
breast with both hands and roaring terri
bly,; when near enough, he springs upon
him, aud destroys him by tearing him to
pieces. One of Du Chaillu's men was
teyiseerated by single blow from the paw
of a gorilla.
In the dense forests of the African con
tinent, man can only advance with diff.
Guilty; and the miasa'a that peryades them
is sooner or later fatal to mankind But
here the gorilla takes up his abode, and
his long arms and prehensilc toes enable
him to swing himself over long distances
between thesitrces, and thus to wadder
over large tractso Of country, passing each
night ID a rudely constructed nest ma &c
for the purpose. n ,ss. ~ 81 6asn,,

for something which before was scarcely
used But few years ago it was unusual
to see a cigarette smoked, except by for
eigner. Now the consumption Of cigar
cites 10 this country is enormous, and a
result Of their popularity is the extensive
manufacture Of little meerschaum tubes n
which to hold them. In Mr.. Kaldenbergs
factory at least six gross Of these tiny
holders are made daily, large number
having been contracted for BY cigarette
manufacturers.
The price Of cigarette tubes varies from
20 cents to So, aud the ordinary pipe Of
cigar-holders from 80 cents to $40. In
some instances, where the holders are
adorned with elaborate carving, the cost
is as high as $40 or $50.

MEERsoHAUM PIPES,
How they are Manufactured--C uriosities Of
Carving-Amber Stems and Mouthpieces-
Cigar Holders and Cigarette Tubes.


The high price of cigars during the last
few years has largely increased the use Of
meerschaum pipes, which are also prefer
red by many smokers for reasons other
than economy. The manufacture Of these
pipes, long an important industry in vi
cnna and other places in Europe, is now
extensively carried on in this country, and
the articles produced here are fully equal
to the best which eau be imported.
Meerschaum pipes are Of ancient use in
Germany, where many huge bowls of this
material are priced as heirlooms, and have
been handed down from father to sou for
generations. These very old pipes we're
made, it is supposed, by turner's in wood
or iTory, for ii was not until early in this
century that the first regular factory for
their production was established in Wen
M. That city is now the great market of
the world for meerschaum goods, and It is
said that at least three thousand persons
are supported there by their manufacture.
The Vienna pipes are made in such i'm
mense quantities, however, that most Of
them are not Of the best quality, and the
finest pipes produced in Europe are made
in Paris and Berlin.
The clay called meerschaum Gin Ger
