CAuLLA URso.-The name of Camilla
UrsO is familiar to the world, and her
I talents are everywhere admired. Her
father and grandfather were both emil
nent musician5. At the age Of six she
wGs one of the most charming children
I in the world. The slightest sound
would cause her to weep or laugh, as it
| expressed sorrow or Joy. One day, at
about this age, she said to her father,
! Il wish to learn the violin !" and like
sensible man he got a teacher at once.
At seven she made her debut It is i'm
possible to describe the ovation which
She received. On a tour through France
shortly after she was loaded with
praise, bonbons and toys, a kind of oya-
ton to which little Camilla seemed not
insensible. A critic, speaking of her at
the age of eight, says, "What is most
surprising is the sentiment Of her exc
cution; she exeels in that essential ex-
preston that comes wholly from the
soul, and which the composer, from lack
of meas to express, al,andons to the
discretion and intelligence of the ex,
ecutOr."
Nov, boy, what have you to say
about taking this dogP' "Well, you see.
have known this dog for two weeks
up in Seventy-frst street, where I live.
He was always follerin' Of me, and We
got to like each other" didn't you
know whose dog it wasp "WeII, I
suppose 1 could have found out BY in
quirin' around. But 1 hain't got time
for that; and then the dog liked me
better than he did his bOss."' HDid YOU
steal him ?' "WelI, you don't call it
stealing when dog that likes you comes
along, and yon can't get rid Of him, do
yOu% Didn't you have rope, with
the dog at one endP' 'fNo. 1 didn't
have any rope at all." did you whistle
to the dogp "Is there any law against
a fellow whistlin' this way, if he wants
to" Here Charley whistled after the
enticing manner of small boys to docs.
'Did you whistle without seeing the
dog?" 81 didn't see him at all; I was
very careful not to look for him; I lust
went along whistlin', and lookin' up at
the sky, and the dog followed me-that's
all; he's always follerin' me, that dOgis.D
''Didn't you want him? ?" "Of course I
did" "And don't you call that stealinQ?D
''No don't call it stealin'! You can't
shake a dog that likes you, and ayiU
follow"
Alta late meeting of the Philadelphia
Academy of Science remarks were made
on a specimen of the smallest known
centipede except one, that exception not
being found in this country. The speci-
men shown was abont One-tenth Of an
inch long, and has ten legs. The feature,
however, which is particularly interest
ing, especially to those who own micro
scopes, is the peculiar beauty Of the
minute and delicate plumes with which
the segments are clothed. These are seen
to be arranged in clusters along each
side, like little punches of feathers. The
individual plumes are easily detached,
and when observed with a power Of 250
diameters show that they are serrate at
their borders and covered with fine lon
gitudinal and transverse markings. On
the back the plumes are IN two trans
verse rows on each segment, Joined at
each end by a semi-circular series. The
tail has two punches of serrate bristles,
pointing backwards, and the head is bor-
dered in front with three or four rows Of
thickly-set plumes, hiding to some ex-
tent the eyes at the side, appearing not
unlike the hair oyerhanging he eye ofs
