Who Soaped the Horn.

Our readers have all Leard the story OF
the sCaping Of the Clergyman S tin horn at
q camp-meeting, so that when he called the
congregation tCgether, be blew the soft
soap over his brother ciergymen, and how
he exclaimed:
Brethren, have served the Lord thirty
years, and in that time never uttered apro-
fame wOId, but I'll be Id if can't whip
the man that soaped my horn!"
Our reader, we say, may have heard
tins, but have, perhaps, never heard the
SEQUEL, as was given US by a gentleman
who was present.
swarthy, villainous looking desperate
slrolled the qound and leaned against a
tree listening to an elegant exhortation TO
repent, which was being made by the
preacher.
After a while he became interested, f.
nally affected, and then taking a position
TN the anxious seat, commenced groaning
in The very bitterness of his sorrow. The
clergyman walked down and attempted to
console him. No consolation, he was a
sinner-tlere was no mercy for him.
''Why, what crime have you committed y
asked the preacher, ''have you stolen?'
''Oh, worse than that ~
"WhsJl Have you by violence robbed
female innocence of its virtuesln
Worse than that. Oh, worse than
that ?''

''Worse than that - gIoaned the smit-
ten sinner.
The excited minister commenced pull
ing off, his outer garments.
Here, Brother Colelr he shouted,
''hold nay coat, I've found the fellow that
soaped my horn !"

an EEGiisa naturalist, while preserv-
ing ants and spiders in bottles OF alco-
mol, met with q touching exhibition
that caused him to forego further ex-
periments. He wished to preserve a
large female spider and twenty-four of
her young ones that he had captured.
He put the mother into a bottle OF
alcohol, and saw that after few NOM
ents she folded her legs upon her body,
and wss at rest. He then put into the
bottle the young ones, who, of course,
manifested acute pain. What was his
surprise TO see the mother arouse her
self from her lethargy, dart around,
and gather her young ones to her
bosom, fold her legs over them, again
relapse into insensibility, until at last
death came to her relief, and the limbs,
no longer controlled by this maternal
instinct, released their grasp.

The fondness of French troops for ami

IheTe is scarcely a Zouave or Turco who
does not bring with him an Angora cat. a
monkey, dog, or magpie. During the
march these faithful animals stand quietly
on the knapsack, and, unless the knapsack
Is left behind, the live burden is absolutely
taken mio action; and indeed, the dogs
almost always fellow their masters. Thus
thrown into the thicLest of battle. some of
them are OF course wounded. Hence the
necessity OF nursing them. Nothing can
exceed the kindness shown by the French
soldiers TO their pet companions when over
taken by such misfortune. Fedo or Fido
is cared for as the dearest conlrade would

Ttoo nelc kinds of tea, having very
peculiar qualities, have been discoy-
cred by Mr.. Z. c. Barber while explor.
ing the region west of Kiating-tu,
China. One of the varieties was rare
and appears TO have been grown only
by some monks of the monasteries on
Mount Omi. An infusion of it tasted
like strong Congou to which brown
sugar had been added literally; but its
sweetness was natural property. The
other tea grew spontaneously at heights
OF more than 6000 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t is leafy shrub, with a
stem about four inches thick, and it
attains height of fifteen feet. In
making an infusion every part of the
plant except the root is employed. The
beverage produced is strOngly-color-
ed but weak tea, having a natural
milky or rather buttery flavor.

Scientists vary much in their belief
regarding the probable heighth of the
earth's atmosphere. Not many years
ago the general idea placed it at less
than 100 miles. Some investigators
h. We reached as far as $50 miles, but
now comes Professor NJ. Landeur, after
several years of study and investiga-
ton, who places the distance at not
less than % 600. In corroboration of
his calculations he shows somewhat
conclusively that the height at which
meteoric matter becomes incandescent
on approaching the earth is far beyond
the distance heretofore assigned 10 it,
and therefore there must be an atmOs-
phere at that great distance to pro-
duce the incandescence. His theory is
also strengthened by the belief of other
eminent scientists, who attribute the
accelerated movement and the revol-
wing of the moon around the earth to
the influence of this extended belt of
atmosphere, Otherwise, these gentle
men claim that the moon would revolve
as do other planets around the sun.

The following is the system of dIsin-
fection recommended by the Austrian
government for vessels that had cases
of small pox on board: Sulphur to the
extent of twelve grains per cubic
metre of space to be disinfeeted is TO be
burned in an earthenware basin, placed
in the centre of some sand to prevent
all risk of fire. All the linen, clothes,
etc.. are to be hung across the cabin,
which is to be Theoretically closed for
three hours, and afterward exposed to
the strongest possible draughts of air
for twelve hours. Then the walls,
floor, ceiling, &C., are to be washed
with one kilogramme of lime or one
half a kilogramme of chloride of zinc
to every hundred litres of water.
