Australian Oysters.

The Australian mollusl is of two
kinds-the mud oyster and the rock
oyster. Tho former grows to a larger
SIZE but the rock oyster is more gen.
orally esteemed for flavor. Their names
indicate their place of growth. The rock
oysters love the beds and adjoining
rocks of tidal streams. They grow in
clusters, in variety of shapes and sizes,
and each cluster is attached to some
thing solid. Here they are alternate
~ bathed in salt water and in fresh or
brackish. They are also left for hours
high and dry until the incoming tide
refreshes them. Nor do these oysters al
ways select rocks on which to dwell.
These accommodating mollusks may
frequently be found adhering to the
roots and lower branches of the man
grove and other trees which delight in
a sort of submarine residence. 1t is
doubtless to this popularity that the
sailor referred when he wrote to his
mother at home, telling the old lady,
and not untruly, that in Australia oys
tiers grow on trees. Journal

than ever. Poor Captain Dreyfus
would have small chance of regaining
his liberty, but he would soon be for
gotten in the tide Of new and im-
portant events that would sweep over
France. The leaders of the army ever
have in mind the example of the first
Napoleon, who founded an empire on
the ruins of the first republic. and they
are ambitious to follow in his foot

she cannot command.

is now training l20 monkeys for Mr..

TO be of some use outside OF the
