Wo have all heard of Le Liable Bostcaux, but it was reserved to tiiis ago, and to tho city of Frederick, to discover tho devil wjth two toils. On Thursday'night last, a caravan of wild beasts arrived in this place, and put up at one of tho hotels. Among them there chancod to bo a hrtge elephant, which, being too large to enter auv ordinary stable, it was found necessary to accom modate in a largo and close carriage house. This, it seems, had been previously taken posses sion of as a lodging for tlio night, by a halo two fisted negro from the mountains who was employ ed in hauling timber to tho rail-road, and who has never seen or perhaps hoard of an elephant before in his life. . Ho was fast asleep when his roommate was ushered in, and did not awake until, as was his custom, at the first dawn of the morning. Hearing a rustling in the straw, be turned and looked and rubbed his eyes and lookod again, until the pupils dilated almost to bursting— “Hence horrible shadow, unreal mockery, bence!’’ What could it be! Tho dovil to a certainty! The hugo mass moved and approachod him, wlton lo! a tail at both ends put all doubts to flight, and revealed his Santanic majesty in all tho terrors of his reputed attributes. With one despairing spasmodic leap, tho uflrighted wagoner rushed against tlio door—it was locked—and there was no other possible way of his escape. lie scream- l for J , ®‘Pi Fio groaned in agony. Worso than that of Sancho in tho pit, was tho predicament of the miserable African for no kind mastcr was within hearing to afford him protection. Tho “Devil with two tails” stood over him, and wrap ped his soft and flexible fore-toil eround bis neck, and whisked it in his face—and then “ho grinued horribly a ghastly smile.” In vain ho besought him to havo mercy—to spare him a littlo longer. The Dcvd with two tails heeded not his suppli cations—but kept smelling and feeling him and brandishing his tail, which ho now extended and contracted, until in the imagination of tlio nogro, there was nothing so distant or so noar as to bo secure from it. The louder ho screamed tho more the .devil, felt him. Shrunk up within tho least possible dimensions in a corner of tho room, ho awaited in a state of alarm, bordering on dis traction, tho issue of his horribln mlvmtur*.—Tbo town in a state of extraordinary excitement, in consequence of the recent arrival in those parts lof a celebrated Magician, from tho centre of Af rica, some where in the vicinity of the Mountains of the Moon. It was universally said, and gener ally believed, that this character possessed & ex ercised tho power of showing to any visitor, who chose to comply with his terms, dead or Uviug, whom the said visitor pleased to name. The English travellers, after abundant inquire!*, and somo scruples, repaired to his residence, paid their fees, and were admitted to his Sanctum. They found themselves in tho presence of a vory handsome young Moor, with a very long black beard, a crimson captain, asnow white turban, 18 inches high, blue trowsers, and yellow slip pers, sitting cross-lcggod on a Turkey carpet, tbreo feet square, with a cheery stalk , in his mouth, acupofcofleeathisloftclbow, adiamond lhafted dagger in his girdle, and in hisright hand a large volume, clasped with brazcn.clasps-on hear ing their errand, he aroso and kindled some spl ices on a sort of small altar in tbc middle of the room. He then walked round and round the al tar for half an hour or so, muttering words to them unintelligible; and having at length drawn three lines of chalk about tho altar, and placed himself upright beside tho flamo desired them to go seek a Seer, and he was ready to gratify them in all their desires. There were in the old days, whole schools of Magicians here. in Europe, who could do nothing in this line without, the- inter vention ofa pure Seer—to witamaiden’s eye. This African belongs to tlio same fraternity—he made them understand that nothing could bo done until a virgin eye was placed at his dispo sal. Ho bade them go out in the streets of Cai ro, and fotch up any child thoy fancied, uudet ten years of ago. They did so; and after walk ing about for half an hour, selected an Arab boy, not apparently above eight, whom thoy found claying at marbles. Thoy bribed him with a Few halfpence, and took Imn with them to the studio ot tho African Roger Bacon, The child was much frightened at the smoko, and the smell, and tho chatter, and tho muttering—but by and by ho sucked his sugar candy, and recovered his tranquility, and the Magician mado him scathim- self under a window— tho only one that had not been darkened, and poured about atablo-spoou- ful of some black liquid into the hollow oftbo boy’s right hand, and bade him hold tho hand steady, and keep his eyo fixed upon tho surface of tlte liquid; and then resuming his. old station by tho brazier, sung out for several minutes on end —What do you see! Allah hismilla! What do you see! lllolla Resoul Allah! What do you see! All tho while the smoke curled up faster and faster. Presently tho lad said, “Bismillah! 11 see a horse—a horseman—I see two horsemen I soe threo—1 seo four—five—six—I sco se- [ven horsemen, and tlio seventh is a Sultan."—I “Ilasho a fisgl” cries tho Magician.—“Ho has three,” answered tho bov. “Tis well,” says the other, “now half!” and with that ho laid his stick right across tho firo. and standing up, ad dressed tho travellers in theso words:—Name your name—bo it of those that are upon tho earth, orofthoso that arobenoathit; bo it Frank, Moor, Turk, or Indian, prince or beggar, living and breathing, or resolved into tho dust of Adam, 5000years ago—speak, and this boy shall behold land describe. The first namo was William Shakspearc. The Magician mado three rever ences towards tho window, waved his. hand nine times, sang out something beyond their interpre tation, ana at length called out. “Boy, what do you behold!”—“The sultan alouo remains,"said the child—and beside him I seo a pale-faced Frank—but not dressed like theso Franks—with largo eyes, a pointed beard, a tall hat, roses on his shoes, and a «hort mantle! Tho other asked for Francis Arouet de Voltaire, and tho boy imme diately described a lean, old, yellow-faco Frank, with a hugo brown wig, a nutmeg grater profilo, spindlo shanks, buckledthoes, and agoldsnuffbox! Lord l’rudhuo now named Archdeacon IVrang-l hum, and tho Arab boy mado answer and said, “I perceive a tallgroy-hairod Frank, with a Mack silk petticoat, walking in a garden, with a little book—his eyes aro bright and gleaming—hu teeth are white—ho is tho happiest looking Frank I over beheld." Major Felix now named a brothor of bis, who is in tho cavalry of the East India Com pany, in tho presidency of Madras. The Magi cian signed, and tho boy again answered, “1 sco ■red haired Frank, with a short red jacket and hH« is standing by tho sea-shore After his liberation, bo had a severe chill of sever al hours duration, accompanied by a transient de rangement. Having now recovered not only his health but his courage, ho swears “by ginny ho was not so much skccred at his bigness—but that tarnal tail at each cud!” Quere—Does not Sambo deservo tho premium offered for the best original tail!—Philadelphia Examiner. DEPARTMENT OF STATE. According to tho statement contained in tho Bulletin of the Paris Society for tho Encourage ment of National Industry, lately received at tho Department of State, a set of machines havo been invented, by the aid of which, any person, with but littlo instruction, may prepare staves and headings for casks with a degree of celerity hitherto without example. Making a cask is indeed almost ns nice an ope ration as making a watch; tho -staves require to bo bent and hollowed, and their edges curved with tho utmost exactness; the difficulties attend ing which aro such, that it is said tho Chinese, certirillly a most ingenious people, have never yctnroduced a barrel capable of holding water, without covering its interior with pitch. Now, the inventor promises that all tho more difficult parts of the process may bo accomplished with out requiring probably greater skill than tho man ufacturer of ship’s blocks by Brunei’s machine. The communication states, that, “Any person, without being a cooper, may, in six days, prepare the stuff for one hundred 30-gallon casks—cut tho staves of their proper length—croe, trim, notch and smooth them, completely—cut out, plain and pec tho headings for tho aamo, and in fino, render all tho parts fit for putting together, when required, by hands; and even in this latter irocess a secret will be taught by which time may e saved. Tho staves, and all the corresponding parts of the bonding, will bo precisely aliko so that any one piece, without choice, can bo taken and employed indiscriminately. Thus it will ap pear that six men may, in one day, produce ono hundred casks, ready for hooping, which casks will be better, and neater, than any made in tho usual manner.” The communication is accompanied by engra vings of tho machinery, and attached is an ad vertisement intended to induce persons to form associations, for purchasing the right of uso and enjoying tho advantages of it for a certain term of years; and he binds himself to require tho pay ment of no sum, until his machinery has been seen by the subscriber, to perform what ho sets forth. Tho instruments, he says, will cost from 1,000 to 1,300 dollars, according to tlio size of tho casks required; persons wishing to cugago iu tho specu lation, aro directed to address the inventor him- solfAf.de Manneville, atTrouscbourg, near Uor- fleur, in the Department of Calvados, or Itis a- gent in Paris, at No. 8, Ruo des Jcncurs. Trous- sebouigh is near Havre. He appends tho certificate of a M. do Bru yuc, who had purchased tho right, and had, be fore paying tho price agreed on, seen one mau complete 60 casks in seventy two hours of work; of which only 32 were employed in performing what was dono by tho aid of machinery,dhe rest being taken up in putting together and hooping. The same articlo contains similar proposals with regard to an invention by tho samo person, which may be of great importance here; namely, for sawing, smoothing, «tc., planks for fluorine. For this, it would seem, that a power is necessa ry, such as that of steam or water, by which, with but littlo manual labor, an immense supply of flooring may bo produced in complete order for laying. This latter may perhaps bo. worth consideration here, uud tho former likewise, es pecially in tho eastern States, whence staves, at preseut, aro a largo article of export, and much would bo gained by sending them dressed.— Washington City Globe. ono fourth part of LotI ^°’ f 71 g J u an d behind him there is a black man, in a turban, of Monroe county—sold forthobepefit of_S.uu ]Wing a beautiful horse richly companioned."

Tlio latter ill particular, has discovered new Islands in tho Archipelago of tho Caroliuas, particularly tho Island of l’ouuipct. inhabited by a race of blacks analogous to that which peoples tho coast of Now Guinea; where-' as all tho Islands of tho Archipelago previously kuowu, are peopled by tho copper-coloured racr. which forms tho immediate link between the Allays and tho Polynesians properly so called, Vho prize, howover, (coHsistiug ofa gold med al of ,*ive hundred francs, is adjudged to Captain Graoh, of tho Danish Navy, for bis explo ring voyago. along tho eastern coast of Green land, to \vhich ho penetrated by sea, and dis covered a. ucoplo who from tf. remote age, bait been deprived of all communication with Eu rope and whose lanenago was nearly unintelli gible to the t-rceniand interpreter* who had accompanied him. They retameo* some vesti ges of tho Christian religion. The eastern coast of Greenland was previous ly very little known Between Capo Farewell 59d 45m latitude, and Cape Barclay C9 latitude* very few points were known; tho coast was sup posed to proceed iu a northeasterly direction, but Captain Graoh has ascertained that its direction is nearly north. Greenland was discovered about tho year 682, by Erie Rauda, aud tho Norwegians in tho succeeding ages, sent mission aries, but. the colony appears to have entirely dropped into oblivion about the fiftcoutii century, .and though it was vaguely said, that peoplo differing from tho Esquimaux in habits and physiognomy existed somowhere, it was re served for Captain Graah to ascertain their exis tence with certainty, and make their situation, known to Europe. Captain Graah’s Journal will shortly bo published and will probably throw much valuable light on tho real direction and position ofuio coast of Greenland.
