He had no one with him but natives, who, at a pinch, are tho greatest fools over burn. The consequence was that the elephant, having crushed poor Haddock to death by kneeling on him* began to dissect him ; and so cleanly was it done, that scarcely two joints were left together in the body of tho victim. How the animal could have thus accomplished such a task by means of that unwieldy-looking instrument it possesses in the shape ofu trunk is utterly inexpli cable.—New Sporting Magazine. application.— Weekly lnle/ligeiic’r. Justice.—Themistoclcs once declared, in a full assembly of the people, that lie had a project lo propose of the greatest public utility; but that he could not communicute it to the citizens ut large, because the success of it depended much on the se crecy with which it was executed. Ho therefore requested they would appoint u person to whom he might explain himself without any danger of disco* very. Aristides (who was so much distinguished for his integrity ibut he received the glorious sur name of the Just) was the person fixed upon for that I purpose by tiie whole assembly. They had so great tt confidence in his prudence and honesty, that j they referred the matter entirely to his opinion. | ThemUiocles, therefore* buying taken him aside, i informed him that the project he had conceived wav ♦ to burn the fleet of the Grecian stales, which then t lay in a neighboring port,called the Piraeus; adding j that by this means Athens would become absuluie mistress of the sea uud the empire uf all Greece. | After this explanation Aristides returned to theuf i senibly, und assured them nothing could be more beneficial to the Republic than tho project of The mislocles, hat, ul the same time, nothing could be more unjust and dishonorable. On heuring this the people unanimously voted that Tnemislocles shou.d desist from his project. This story is the more remarkable, as it wus not a company of phi losophers. but a whole state who issued an order hy which they deprived themselves of u very consider, able advantage, becuuse the means of obtaining it were not agreeable to the rigid dictates of justice. following gives one of two 1827-8.... 180: 1839-30... 1830*1. •.. 18 tl '2.... 1832 3.... 1833 1.... toti 5.... i8-j:>.(» IB 16 7.... 1/36 8.... 1838 0...s 1839 40... 1840*1.. •• 18112.... 1813 3.... 1813-1.... 500,000 720.0811 637.800 713.008 857,744 076,815 1,838,843 887.477 1,870,43:, 1,305,393 1,154.32 1,3118.725 1,422,830 1,81)1.40? 1,368.532 2,177,835 1,034,94 1.(583,57 4 2.378,87c 3,838,489 1843 3. 1841*3 1848 1 UiVJ 40 1838 9 1837- 3 1836 7 1835 6 1834 5... 2833*4 1832*3 1831 2 1838- 1 1829 .38 1823 9 1827 8 [826 7 266.851) 297,288 295.193 276,81 K 246.863 222.540 236.743 210,888 190.413 194.413 . 173.880 , 182,142 , 126,512 I i 1,853 , 120.593 103,483 Hyacinths.—At theseusun lor commencing the cultivation of tht.

Pick firms plump bulbs, us round at may be.— These are always the soundest, and are not likely lo dump oir. When they are placed in glosses, take care that the water does not cornu within one inch of the bulb; put thorn in u dark closet that is rather warm, or which is better, wrap them all over the glass and Imlb, witli old fluunel. and keep them in a warm place till the roots arc an inch long ul least. Some recommend that the glasses should be durk ; but that is of little consequence, provided the piuce in which tho bulb* are set to root is durk. The reason for this very important ruin is, that root should ulways bo formed before leaves ; oth erwise, when the latter begin to grow they have | nothing to feed them. Nature is most careful • about thin, as wo may see when a seed begins to I germinate ami a tree begins to fruit.—But ignorant I people pop their bulbs at once into a glass of water, j piuce it in a window, or upon u mmole-shelf, where ! light has free acres**, nnd the consequence is lint roo'v, which abhor light, will not come, while j lunvev, who love, the ’ight. rush forward to enjoy il.
