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 irtii. / ’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 per, &e. 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.” To obtain skeletons of small 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 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.
