A New York paper of January 26, has
the following account of Hon. B. S. Rus.

"Hon. Benjamin S. Russell, one of the
Presidential electors for North Dakota,
who went to Washington ten DAYS ago
to deliver the vote Of his common
wealth, found the weather conditions
here last night-the formidable noun
tains Of snow and the icy gales that
swept the street-more than he could
withstand.
"Confdent of the sturdiness of his
physique he started out in a cab to
reach the home OF his son, Hamil Rus
sell, Of By Degraw avenue, but aban-
doned the journey when the horse which
was drawing the vehicle became ex-
hausted at Verona avenue and Lake
street, a block and a half from his des-
tination. The WEAKNESS of his long
Journey to Washington and the enervat-
ing experience of his freezing trip in
the cab convinced him that he was not
capable of continuing even the short
walk before him.
at was only with the assistance OF the
sturdy cabman that he was able to reach
the sidewalk. Then the hospitality of
Mrs. Alfred Sykes, of 3o4 Verona ave-
nue., an old acquaintance of the Russell
family, was appealed to and she cheer
fully gave the tired traveller shelter for
the night.
"On his arrival at the Degraw venue
house the following morning Mr.. Rus
sell received a telegram from Erie, Pa,
announcing the death of his only sur
viving brother, George J.. Russell, Of
that place, Tuesday last. He was urged
to hurry to Erie, but will be unable to
reach there in time for the funeral be-
cause of the interruption to traffic. G..

The Elder Pliny's Quaint Essay ON
Ears, Human and Animal,

The Elder Pliny's Quaint Essay ON
Ears, Human and Animal.
The human a and its peculiarities
are the subject o. soa:e il. ercstiug' re-
marks in American Medicine. The ear,
being placed on the borierl&nd Of face
and head, enjoys but doubtful claims
to the dignity of a feature" But it's
form tells markedly III the makeup of
individual beauty. \ perfectly formed
auricle is a very desirable feature in.
deed. And we sometimes meet with
one which constitutes q revolving de-
forxnity.
The cropping Of the ears to which OBJ
streperous patriots were subjected, in
the infancy of British liberty, necessi-
tated the wearing Of voluminous wigs
by such men as Prynne and De Foe.
There is an inevitable suggestiveness
about long ears of which the owner
can never feel precisely proud. The
physiognomists have all noticed the
organ. Rhazes observes that "a man
with large ears is stupid, but long
lived" and Baptista Porta gives Q
nearly similar impression. The elder
Pliny is rather full in this as in most
other items of the gossiping lore Of
natural history. He says in that:
Man alone hath not the power to
shake his cares. Of laggie. long. and
hanging cares, came the syrnames first
of the Flacci Families and houses in
Rome). There isno n part Of the bodie
costeth our danes more than this, by
reason of their precious stones and
pendant pearls thereat. In the East
countries, men also as well as women,
think it a great grace and bravery to
weare earrings of gold. AS touching
their proportion, some creatures haue
bigger or lesser than others. Deere
only, the fallow as we'll as the red,
haue them slit and as it We're diuided.
In Rats and mice they be hairy.
ITO conclude, no creature hath cares
but those that bring forth their young
aliue; and lone Of them are without
saue onely Scales, Dolphins, Vipers,
| and such fishes as were called Car
tilagineous and gristly. And these all
instead Of cares, haue certain holes or
conduits, except the foresaid gristly
fishes, & the Dolphins: and yet man.
ifest it is, that they do heare wei
enough. For delighted they be with
musick; and vpon some great noise
and sudden crack they are astonished,
and then easily taken. But maruel it
is how they should heare as they do;
neither can I comprehend the reason
and means thereof, no more than 1 am
able to shew how they do smell, for
no Organs and Instruments haue they
thereof to be scene, & yet there is not
an hound vpon the land. sents better,
nor hath a finer nose than they. OF
all souls, the Likeowle and the Otus
alone, haue feathers like cares: the
rest haue only holes to heare by. And
after the same manne skaled fishes
and s%erpents. In Horses, Mules, and
Asses, and all such as serue either
pack or saddle, the cares are tokens
Of their courage more or lesse."

In this country swans are but little
seen, except in public parks, but they
are coming into increasing favor on
