When Lord Strangford sat down to
criticise book Of travels by Miss Beau
fort he little dreamed that before long
he would write to the young authoress:
II was thinking the other day about a
communication from the Emperor Akbar
to the King Of Portugal, which contained
a request for copies Of the holy books
of the Christians, and in which the fol-
lowing sentence occurs: I'm the world Of
humanity, which is the mirror and re-
flection Of the world Of God, there is
nothing equal to love or comparable to
human affection For many years /
have felt and known this, though I
never said it till to-day to any one.

Surely never was declaration made in
quainter fashion, saving, perhaps, by the
Scotch beadle who led the manse house
maid to the church-yard, and pointing
with, his finger, stammered: "My folk

can be no doubt that it is radically iden-

reasonably be explained from the Vene-

Mastiff was formerly written also nasty;
"a nasty dog, (Hobson's Jest" "masty
cur" (Dubartas.) And nasty, accord
ing to Halliwell, is used in Lincolnshire
in the sense Of very large and big.
Skinner, who was a Lincolnshire man,
explains "a nasty follow" as q massy,

Bull and Bravo.
FTinsley's Nagazine.1

Cucharra, of Puerto Santa Maria, is
the matador. Majestically he strides
towards the Governors box, stoops in
obeisance, and in a loud voice makes
proclamation: "Brindo por Puerto Santa
Maria, por toda su compania, por Ell yugo
de Madrid; voy a matar ese bicho ell
bichO me mata mil" an address which
may thus be freely rendered: IT pledge
myself to Puerto Santa Maria and all its
society, and to the people of Madrid,
and now / am ready to kill this vile
beast, If the vile beast can not kill me-"
He removes his turban, and with
graceful jerk with his right hand from
behind his back over his right shoulder,
filings it into the Governors box, as gage
of his boasted prowess. He takes his
straight keen-tempered sword and his
cloak Of offensive scarlet and advances
toward the bull. Now is the supreme
trial, now is the time when men let their
lighted cigarettes drop from their
teeth; now is the time when women close
their fans and draw long breaths. Gu
charra faces Toro at yards distance.
They regard each other. Cucharra hides
his sword under his cloak and presents it
to the bull.
Toro lowers his head, shuts his ewes,
and charges, but the toreador gracefully
slips aside and saves his life by a turn Of
the heel. Three times he repeats the
feat Of this risksome pirouette; but woe
is him If he is q second too late in his
movements, or If the soil is treacherous.
The fourth time, as the bull lowers his
head, Cucharra lifts himself on his toes,
and with one sure swift blow plunges
the blade, almost to the hilt, in the spine
Of his antagonist. The bull stands still;
there is shout Of bravo: the bull still
stands, 10 seconds, 2O-30; there is howl
of disappointment; but Cucharra gazes
contemptuously around; he knows he has
done his work well. and, my faith, he has.
Toro quivers and drops, and Cucharra
plants foot on the neck Of his PROSTATE
enemy. 81
The bull has died Of internal hemor-
rhage; not drop Of blood has distilled
from his mouth. Bravo, Cucharra!
This death at the first thrust death
without the dropping Of the crimson fluid
from the mouths the artistic death.
When the sword pierces at the wrong
spot, is displaced by the shaking Of the
bull, and, sent flying, gore wet, through
the air, it is awkward workmanship. But
Toro showed mucho fuego before he was
50 prettily pierced in the medulla.
Bravo, Toro! And now the cacheterro
stoops over him, and with one dig of his
sharp knife in the neck, makes assurance
doubly sure. The team Of mules trots in,
and trots out again with the dead cham
pion at its heels; and the urchins outside
are dancing on his carcass as the drums
and tymbals proclaim the entrance of a
second bull into the enthusiastic circle.

The Romance Of a Hospital.

suppose, says writer in The London
Figaro, nearly everybody read the ac-
count of the Princess Louise's recent Wis
it to the East London hospital for chill
dren, but doubt if more than some half
dozen people are acquainted with the
romantic history of its foundation. Many
years ago a young lady-an orphan of
good family and an heiress to boot-be-
gan to have grave doubts whether life
was not more serious matter than the
traditions Of her class had hitherto led
her to suppose. Now, just when she was
just beginning to be haunted by vague
longing to make her life noble and use
full, came the well-remembered cholera
plague, and the opportunity she desired
presented itself. She left her luxurious
home, volunteered as an amateur nurse,
and attended the sick and dying through
all the loathsome malady.
One might have thought that her Bit
ter experience in the cholera wards
would have made her long for her for
merly luxurious life. But, no. She now
determined to take up the study of medi-
cine, and had already passed her prelimi-
nary examinations when she met, loved,
and married Mr.. Nathaniel Heckford, a
Young medical man. The husband and
wife, both equally full Of philanthropic
enthusiasm, then resolved to establish q
hospital where one was sorely needed
in the east Of London. Mrs. Heckford
cheerfully devoted a great part OF her
fortune to the purpose, and the hospital
sprang into being without the public
finding sixpence. It went through the
usual vicissitudes which attend institu-
tions of this sort, but after Charles Dick
ems wrote that brilliant account Of it,
called ''The Star in the East" it's pros.
perity was secured. .s',
To make long story short, the con.
nection between the Heckfords and the
hospital came to an end. Mr.. Heckford
died, and his wife went to Naples. There
she helped to promote society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals; and
moreover, wrote note called Excelsior. u
Then she went in for adventurous travels
going through Arabia and the widest
parts Of India, often accompanied merely
by one guide. She tried to practice
medicine among the women of 1the
Zenana, but finding it impossible to over
come native prejudices, abandoned the
idea. Since then she has disappeared
from civilized ken, the latest news re
ceived Of her being that she is with :
party of colonists in Africa, busily en-
gagged in learning ostrich farming, which
she fondly imagines will furnish some o.
our redundant female population with I
means of earning their Livelihood.

DANIEL BooNE,s SNAKE,
Confined for n Hundred Years I'm .
Hollow Maple Log.
g. TEavtoy, A rox,1a

1Easton Argusl 3,
A writer in q Western paper tells how
he was blasting with gunpowder some
large and tough logs. From one of the
logs thus split open crawled an enor-
nous serpent, which was easily killed.
The man who tells the story continues
from this point as follows: "On stretch
ing it out / found it to be thirty-one feet
two inches in length, and the thickest
part of its body measured twenty-nine
inches in circumference. 1t was a diff
ferent species Of serpent from any ] had
ever seen before. Its tail was armed
with a sharp-pointed and curved horn /;
its body was variegated with
alternate brown and dirty yell
low stripes, and on close ex-
animation l discovered that 1t had been
totally blind, its eyes seeming to have
turned into a rehectionless, hard, bone
like substance. This explained its unde-
cided, hesitating movements when it first
came from the log. A strange crease ap-
peared about the neck, just back Of the
head, which ! found to be caused by q
stout thong Of leather, about which the
flesh of the serpent had grown until i,
was sunk almost out Of view. Cutting
this thong and removing it l found at
tached to it's under side copper plate
which had been heretofore hidden by the
body of the snake, and on one side o.
which was scratched: ID. Boone, Apri
18th, 1779.' I split the log il
two, and near the lower enc
of the hollow I found where there
had once been an opening, but long years
ago it had been closed up with plue
made of oak wood, about and over which
the maple had grown until it was almost
concealed. The dead appearance of the
small portion visible of the oak plug was
all that called my attention to its exist
ence. My theory of the matter is this
Daniel Boone many years ago, on tht
date recorded upon this piece of copper
|caught the snake, then young and small
fastened the copper plate about his neck
and imprisoned it within the hollow o.
the tree by means Of the oak plug, wher'
his snakeship had remained until thu
day delivered him to the free air an(
sunlight again."

THE CoLD-THE BITTER GOLD.

From Northern newspapers and the
telegraph we are burthened with ac-
counts of the effects of the unusual
cold weather in this country and in Eu-
rope. In England, especially, there is
vast amount of suffering among the
poor. In our own country those who
are provided with all the appliances OF
keeping warm-close rooms, sparkling
fires, and thick clothing--get along
very well but, oh, how is it with those
who have no wood or coal, no shoes up
on their feet, shelter that offers a
poor protection against the wintry
blasts, and thin, ragged clothes 4!
What are they to do in this prolonged
spell of merciless cold d? Our hearts go
out in profound sympathy this bitter
night to the unprepared poor every
where. If we were fit for such an
audience, we would be willing to fall
upon our knees and pray that the pen
etrating blasts might be tempered for
them, or that good Samaritans might
rise up wherever suffering existed and
minister to theIshivering little ones.
According to Northern a counts this
is the coolest spell experienced in this
country for nine years. There has been
q sudden fall in the temperature all
over the country. Travel is practically
in the North, and it is diff
cult to get over ground here in the
South To say that the weather is I'M
usually severe, is to put the case mildly.
1t is becoming almost terrific in many
localities, and the South, not expecting
it and wholly unprepared, will suffer
perhaps as much as the North

The first number of The COMET is pub
lished under difficulties. The material 0.
The COMET Office and the late jackson
Times Office, and the superb Job office Of
j. w. Smylie, all had to be moved and adj
iusted. The building had to be altered SC
as to receive this consolidation. The
building lately occupied by the Times office
and the building lately occupied by COL
H. Musgrove for his bank, with the inter-
mediate space. now constitute the News
paper, Book and Job offices of The COMET.
Partitions have been removed and the
whole building thrown together, giving us
a splendid Job Room, Press and Compos-
ing rooms, Counting room and Sanctum.
1t is fine arrangement, but it will take
time to get thoroughly straight. The
weather has been so cold and disagreeable
that difficulties met us at every step of our
removal. Hence if errors are found, or
the paper shows an incompleteness and an
undue hurry, we hope our friends will
charge the shortening to the weather.
We take occasion, in this connection, to
acknowledge our obligation to our friends
of the Clarion for full supply of ex-
changes, and to Charles Winkley, Esq, for
timely favors.
