The Sunday Times gives the follow. |
ing account of the word Humbug.
During some of the continental wars,
great number of lying bulletins made
their way from Hamburg to England,
e nd, when an v one heard doubtful news,
j: was customary to say that it came
from Hamburg. This word became, in i
time, corrupted to “humbug.” It prob
able has not been in vogue much more j
than a centurv.' Feld ing uses it in his ,
*• Amelia, *’ published in 1750, (which is j
tin- earliest use of the term we have ever j
encountered, and it will be found in
( 'iiurchiliV poems of the date oi about

’Eli • same paper says’ that the name;
ofibolseap. applied to a kind of paper,
•riginated in tlie following manner.
When Oliver Cromwell became pro
-1,-etor after the execution of t'harles 1.,
he caused the stamp of the cap of liber
tv to be placed on the paper used by
ihe government. Soon after the restor
ation of Charles 11.. he had occasion
to use paper for despatches, and some ol
i his kind was brought to him. <)n look
ing at it and discovering the stump, he
enquired the meaning of it, and being
told, said—‘‘Take it away —Til have
nothing to do with fool’s cap!' Thus
jirose the name which lias since distin
guished this sized paperfrom letter pa

Horace Greeley.—The following j
from the New York Day Book is very
h'-vere, but too good to be lost :
•• The reason for Greeley’s insane j
sympathy for the negroes is, that lie is j
himself a negro —of the species called,
Ihe Albino. Naturalists, in speaking of,
, his peculiar tribe of white negroes, de- :
scribe Greeley exactly : ‘‘thick white !
shin, white hair, reddish eyes, shamb
ling frame and gant, vacant, idiotic ex
pression.” We. therefore, must, forgive
Greeley for all his vagaries in behalf of
his kinky-headed brethren.”

Animals.
Put anv subject, such as a mouse- or
frog, (if if bird, srip it of its feathers,) in
a, box perforated with a number of
holes. Let it be properly distended, to
pre vent the parts from collapsing, or be
ing crushed together by the pressure of
i.ke earth. Then box with its
contents in an ant hole, and in a few days
it will have become an exquisitely beau
tiful and perfect skeleton. The ants
will have consumed* every part of it ex
cept the bones and ligaments. The tad
pole acts the same part with fish that
ants do with birds; and through the
agency of this little reptile,- pertcet skel
etons of even the smallest fishes, may
be obtained. To produce this, it is but
necessary do suspend the fish by threads
.attached to its head and tail, in a hori
zontal position, in a jar of water, such as
is found in a pond, and change it often,
till the tadpoles have finished their
-work. Two or three tadpoles will per
fectly dissect a fish in 24 hours.
Seeing Goethe.
(Celebrated men are often much an
noyed by t)m visits of strangers. A
student once called at Goethe's house,
and requested to see him.. Goethe, con
trary to his usual custom,-consented to
be seen. After the student had waited
a short time in the antechamber, he ap
peared, and, without speaking, took a
chair and seated himself in the middle of
the room. The student, far from being
•embarrassed by this unexpected pro
ceeding, took a lighted waxcamile in his
1 land, and, walking round the poet, de
liberately viewed him on all sides; then,
setting down the candle, he drew out his
purse, and taking from it a small piece j
of silver, put it on the table, and went ■
away without speaking a word.

This Journal, now entering on its Fourth volume,
j is two well known to need any panegyric from the
publishers. This much we will say—we intend to
enlarge, and beautify it. Each number will have a
handsome cover, upon which advertisements can be
inserted, without taking up the reading matter of the
paper.
The editors will each, in his department, give a re
cord of the progress and advancement of agriculture
and horticulture, especially, as adapted to the soil and
climate of the South. Each number will contain
plans for the month, for the farm, orchard and gar
den ; new plants and seeds adapted to Southern cul
ture will receive the careful attention of the editors,
and a faithful report made thereon, thus saving the
public from much imposition.
To our patrons we appeal; how large an edition
[ shall we start witn, sor 10,000 ? We know there are
j more than 10,000 reading farmers, gardners, and flor-
I sts around us, who would save money by taking the
| boil of the South. But it is not confined exclusively to
j this class. Every man that plants cotton or corn, a
| cabbage, or a turnip, keeps a horse or a cow, raises
an apple, pear, plum, peach, grape, fig or strawberry;
every lady that cultivates a rose, geranium or pink :
every house-keeper that makes a loaf of bread, or a
pot ofsoap, will find in the Soil of the South, for 185-1.
something worth ten times the subscription price.
