An Electric Eel.

A very interesting addition has re.
Gently been made to the Geological
gardens, in the shape Of an electric eel
-gymnotuS electricuS. 1t is said to be
nearly six feet in length, and must
therefore be one of the largest speci-
mems of its kind. Those who remem-
ber the palmy days of the old Poly
technic may recollect diminutive
electrical eel which used to deal out
very decided shocks to visitors who
had the temcrity TO touch it, and
which used TO kill, or at any rate to
stun, the live fish which were put into
its tank for food. The new conner Is
altogether more formidable fellow,

after the long voyage from South
America, during which he was rather
cruelty coiled in vessel in which he
could not move without chating him.
self raw in several place it will be
any thing but wise to venture on any
liberties with him. Humboldt, when
in the native home of this fish, in and
about the Rio Colorado, measured
some that were five feet fiN , inches in
length, but though the Indians said
there were larger he himself saw
none. The captive in Regents park
is no doubt, therefore, Il very big
specimen, and there can be little
doubt of its power. Humboldt thought
the Indians of the locality referred to
had exaggerated ideas on this subject,
but they no doubt had had practical
experience, while the illustrious trav-
clcr seems to have prudently refrain
ed from testing the matter except in
the case Of an eel in somewhat ex-
haustcd condition. He admits that it
would be temerity TO expose ones
self to the first shocks of a large and
strongly irritated gymnotus, and,
though he does not mention any case
within his knowledge of any human
lifG being lost by shock from the fish,
the mode of catching them adopted
by the Indians seem to render it by
no means incredible that, as some
have asserted, this fish is capable of
killing 4 man. The Indians, it seems
are accustomed, when they want to
catch gymnoti, to scour the country
round for wild horses and mules,
which they drive into the ponds whore
the fish are known to be, and so
violent are the discharges of the pent-
up lightnngs to which these animals
are exposed that, though they are not
actually killed by electricity, they are
so stunned and disabled that usually
several OF them are drow, ID. Hum
boldt once imprudcntly at both his
feet on an electric ell iusI taken out
of the water; and though he does not
speak of it as large one, he says he
never experienced from large Ley
den jar a more dreadful discharge
than he felt on that occasion. He
was affected all day with violent
pain in every joint of his body, 1t
seems to be generally agreed that the
electric force of this fish is closely
dependent on its general vitality, and
the new arrival is as yet only in n
comparatively poor condition, perhaps
no great harm would result from
bodily contact with it, London NclCS.

A Story OF Arctic Adventure.

A correspondent sends us the fol-
lowing narrative of the privations suf-
fered by Scotch whaler Now that so
much discussion has been raised on the
subject of the alleged cannibalism in
the Greedy expedition, some interest
may be fcltin another dreadful story of
privation and danger, where similar
temptation was herocally resisted, as
told by James Mcintosh, sole survivor
from one of the boats of the whaler
Chieftain. On May 26 last the Chief
tain sent out four boats in chase OF a
whale, two of which, one commanded
by Alexander Balm, the harpooner, lost
the ship, and failing to find her, shaped
their course for Iceland. Some days
later two of Bain's crew died, and Nc
lntosh then came into Bain's boat
from the other to act as steersman.
The only occupants of the boat then
were Balm and n seaman, named Nc
Gregor. On the following day Balm
thought he saw land, and they altered
their course to steer to it, but found it
to be only the reelection of q cloud,
which did not follow them. Next dly
McGregor died, and his body was COM
mittcd to the deep. The same evening
storm arose which lasted three days,
during all of which time Mcintosh re-
maincd at his post as steersman, while
Balm lay helpless and deSpairing in the
bows. At last the storm abated, and
the undauntcd steersman addressed
some cheering words to his comrade,
but without rousing him from his
lcthargy, which continued so long that
Mcintosh at last grew anxious, and
though hardly able TO move, his legs
being bcnumbed with death, managed
to crawl along, on his hands and knees
to the bow of the boat and found Balm
quite dead. A terrible sense of utter
loneliness came over him, mingled
with fear that in his desperate condi.
ton Che had not tasted food of any
kind for several days. he might yield
to the temptation Of supporting HIM

Some people, especially If they

some taking fancy, without a due
consideration of the very grave nature
of the state they are entering, discov-
er afterward that his or her mate
does not come up to the expectations
which had been formed, The light
and laughing love of the marriage and
the early periods of married life are
succeeded by sense of disappoint-
ment. Then comes domestic indiilcr-
encc, perhaps recrimination. Both
man and wife are deceived and nm

but really. Both feel, as it were, en-
tangled. They have married in haste,

IgIcsias and CAccres.

The withdrawal of the Iglesias
troops into the barracks thus per-
hitting Cacercs to freely enter Lima
is accounted for through the populari-
ty of Caccrcs and the cause that he is
espousing. 1t was only when force was
used and the danger of the city was
threatened that lglesias troops made
sortic and expelled the Caccres fol-
lowing. The Mountain Leader, as
Caceres is called, is extremely popu-
lar among the soldiers and should he
persist in his determination to publish

With Chill, it is the genera, belief that
three-fourths of the regular army
would leave their present allegiance
for that of Caccras. If lglesias would

of n council of ministers, Caceres
would be satisfied. and he declares
thai he would retire to private life
and allow the free voice of the people
