Hovr Aiilaah Flay and Eujoy TLem selves. From "The Passions of Anlmtls." Small birds chase each other about in filav ; but, perhaps, the conduct of the crane and the trumpeter is most extraordinary. The hitter stands ou one leg, hops about in the most eccen tric manner, and throws somersets. Watcrbirds. such as ducks and creese. dive after each other, and clear the surface or the water with outstretched, neck aud flaiDinr winirs. throwinsr abundant spray around. Deer often enjrage in sham battle, or trial of strength, by twisting their horns to gether and pushing for the mastery. All animals pretending violence in their play stop short of exercising it; me uog takes the greatest precaution not to injure by his bite; and tho ourang-outang, in wrestling with his Keener, pretends to throw Jam. and makes feints of biting him. Some ani mals carry out in their play the semb lance ot catching their prey. Young cat.?, for instance, leap after every small and moving object, even to tho leaves strewed by the autumn-wind. They crouch and steal forward, ready for the spring, the body quivering and mo tail vibrating with emotion: thev bound on the moving leaf, and again spring forward to another. Benger 6a w young jaguars and cougars play ing with round substances, like kit tens. Birds of the mivirnio kind are the analogues of monkeys, full of mis chief, play, and mimicry. There is a story of a tame magpie that was seen busily employed in a garden gathering peonies, ana witn much solemnity and a studied air burying them in a holo made to receive a post- After drop ping each stono it cried 'Cur-ack!' triumphantly, and set off for another. On examining the spot, a poor toad was found in the hole, which the mag pio was stoning for his amusement. Legal Wigs and Gowns in Scotland. A Scotch advocato writes a pleasant letter to a New York journal concern ing tho peculiarities and trail i Lions of his profession. "I find," he says, "that nothing interests an American so much as my wiir. I only wish that the person who thus derives amuse ment from the fashion had to experi ence its inconvenience. To begin with. they are by no means cheap. A horse hair wig costs about $50, and an ordi nary one they are now all made out of whalebone shavings about $30. They very soon get dirty ; and to powder them, as some men used to do. only makes one's coat perpetually greasy. Then in summer they are hot and tight on the head. Yet we all wear them. We are not compelled to do so. We must wear a gown; that is our mandate. The abolition of the gown I shall regret. Its several parts involve not a little curious history. For instance, we carry at the back of the gown a little pocket which, though still worn, is now sewn up. The ap pendage takes you back more than three hundred years to the days before the Reformation, when the advocates were churchmen. No churchman was allowed to accept a regular payment for his services, liut.it he was pro hibited from handling the money, that was no reason why you, if you wanted your case particularly attended to, should not put a couple of gold pieces into the bag which he carried at his back. So you sec we still have some relics of the past surviving in this re forming age. Many of our names even strike a stranger as peculiar. The offi cial head of the B ir is called 'Dean of the Faculty.' Ah," said Sidney Smith, when he heard the title for the first time, 'that's very odd now. With us in England our Deans have no facul ties Absurd as these old customs and names may be, it cannot be denied that the country has reason to.be proud of her judicial arrangements, not merely in the Supreme Court, but down to the humblest judicatory." KlfptouiiiniiU New York Times. About eight years ago an alarm reached the Chief Folh-.c office in Lon don that jewels of great value had been stolen from a lady of hili rank while a guest at a q'liet northern coun try house. A handsome reward was offered, and not long afterward it bo CHiue known that the property had been recovered. Astounding as it may seem, it U nevertheless true, that the temporary a pproprla: or of these line things was a million tire Peer, who, albeit in nowise pi-ntirious, is singu larly simple in his personal habits, and does not ppend one-lour. h of his income. The matter was all hushed up, and very few persons o'itsid the family knew who the thief, if we can so call him, really was. This was a genuine cise of kleptomania, aud proves beyond doubt that it re.illy ex ists. An'English Earl of high dis tinction had this weakness from boy hood, and it iuvoived his leaving Eton. When, in after years he enter ed the Cabinet, it was' rumored that Lord had entirely conquered tho propensity, "except that at a Cabinet council he never could resist 'Dizzy's new green kid gloves. The alarming disappearance of wax caudles at the Traveler's Club, London, some years ago, caused much dismay. The mys tery was at length solved by a mem ber of the Committee seeing the old Duke C (with a clear 750,OoO a year) rambling along a corridor with a cau- Jie sucking out of each coat-tail pocket- liis family wero comniuuicakxl with, and his Grace ceased to come to the Club. There is doubtless a great deal of sham kleptomania, butitisnot the less true that sometime it is per fectly genuine. It is, however, very uufortunate to be at ouco kieptoiuau iac oiid imuecunltfus. Cutting the Tops of Trees. A correspondent writing to the Cot tage Gardener says: "Excepting with the more experienced cultivators, a practice, on receiving trees from the nurseries is to reduce the tops consider ably. This is a common practice with some growers, but a greater mistake could not possibly bo perpetrated. The more branches and foliage a tree is allowed to carry the more roots it will make, and tho less chance is there of its producing strong gross shoot: but on the other hand cut it back, and its growth and strength are concent rat ed in a few buds that start away most strongly in the Spring. Healthy trees such as are generally supplied, if plant ed early, will always alTonl. plenty of shoots io choose from without having their tops reduced. We never shorten under any circumstances, unless it be the extreme tips not quite right, or any bruised through packing or car riage, but plant with the branches al most entire mid properly laid in and trained. By this treatment they cov er more than double the space the first year than they otherwise would, aud bear in less than half the time, and we are sure that those who may feel dis posed to give this system a fair trial will never resort to the old practice again." Jersey Cattle for Beef. Correspondence American Cultivator. It seems to be a prevalent idea that Jersey cattle are of no account, except for their butter producing qualities; that it is not profitable to raise them for meat. This is an error. My expe rience has taught me that Jersey cattle not only make a much finer grade of beef than other cattle, but that they are very profitable for that purpose. They consume less while growing than the largo-boned Durham cattle, and come to maturity earlier. This last season I had an Alderney calf "of the male persuasion," and not desiring any veal, and with something of a prospect of a sale for stock pur poses, kept him along with only a fair amount of food for a growing animal. I kept him until upwards of ten months old, the latter portion of the time giving somewhat better feed and larger quantities, but never feeding him high. When I had him killed, the dressed meat weighed a little over 150 pounds, which I call good weight for an animal of that age. Every one who partook of the meat, and the number was not small, declared it to be the finest they ever tasted. Last fall I had a Jersey cow whoso teats were so small I thought best not keep her for milk. When sho was taken in from pasture she was in good condition. I put her in the stable, and fed her upon good hay and gave her but little meal, perhaps 150 pounds. I kept her until the last of December, when 1 had her killed and sho dressed off some 540 pounds of the handsomest meat old butchers say they ever saw. Certainly I have never seen anything ahead of it. The lean meat was very rioh iu color, and the fat looked the color of the richest Jersey butter. while it retained its rich color when baked or broiled. The taste of the fat meat was rich and sweet, entirety dif ferent from the tallowy taste of ordi nary fat beef. It is agreed by au epicureans who have been so fortunate as to feast ou good well-fatted Jersey beef, that it tar excels any other beer that is pro duced in this section of the country or is readily obtained anvwhere. Tho corned beef very much resembles the far-famed Gardeners Island beef. Even with Jersey beef at tho same price of other beef it is fully as profit able to raise the Jerseys for the rea sons before stated. Again they ma ture quickly and consume but little food in fact they have not the amount of waste bone, aud coarse tissue tViat coarser cattle require feed to produce. My experience has shown they d pro duce a good quantity of meat per ani mal. Curiosities of a Yankee Will. In tho old records in the Probate Court much that is curious may be found, but there is nothing more pe culiar than the will of David Ogden, who kept a tavern where the Tontine Hotel now stands. The will was made in 1789, and contains the follow ing: "In the name of God, sole Governor of the worlds, the Holy Ghost, tho twelve apostles, saints thrones, pow ers, virtues, angels, arch-angels, cher ubims and seraphims, amen I, David Ogden, of New Haven in the State of Couuecticut, being in. uncommonly good health and spirits and in my right mind and wits, do in the follow ing manner make this my last will and testament: "Imprimis : My body, this mas3 1 composed of flesh, blood, arteries,' bones, cartilages, fibers and God wot not what all besides I commit when dressed in my best suit of black clothes to its deep, dark, silent grave. Tis a dismal house I am to dwell in, yea, verily a mournful one ; therefore, the dress for mourning is the most E roper one for me. Then let this ody be dressed for its coffin, which I pray to be made of sound mahogany wood and not ornamented with brass mils aud tin plates, telling my name, age or death. My head will tell these things to the inquisitive in the grave. When this mass of corruption is so equipped let it be borne on the shoul ders of four steady youth to its long home, the narrow grave, whom I wish should be rewarded for their trouble with decent pairs of gloves each. By tho way, should Dr. Edwards, the Sunday next after my last conscience, deem either my death or life to merit a sermon, a short sermon, prayer or a few hymns to bo sent up to the tlimno oi an all-pitying and merciful God, prythce let it be done, aud for his trouble and good services in this sol emn business give him my last wishes for his welfare accompanied with a complimeut of 3 4s.

A good story is told of Judge John Rice, in connection with the late war. He was a violent secessionist, and, in a speech urging secession, said: "Why, the Yankees! If they show fight wo can whip them with popguns!" The Yankees did show fight, and with what result is well known.. A short time after tho war Judge Rice was making a speech at the same crossroads where he had made his boasting speech before the war. One of the audience asked him if he was not the same Judge Rico that spoke there in ld60. "I am," he replied. "Well, didn't you say that we could whip the Yankees with pop- Suns!" "1 did, and we could have one it; but, 'cm, they wouldn't fight us in that way I Taking Time by the Forelock. A well-dre3scd lady called at a carpet-warehouse and asked to look at some carpets. The goo ts were shown, every pattern in the shop being spread out lor examination. Alter looking at everything about the plucc,aud driv ing some very clo-o bargtins in the matter of price, the lady selected a carpet for each room iu her house, running up a bill which filled tho salesman heart with joy; when all was completed, he asked where the carpets were to be sent. The lady re plied without hesitation, that she would call and let him know. "You see," sho added, "my husband has just bought a piece of ground aud talks of soon building a hou-c ou it. If he does, you know, I shall want some new carpets, and then 1 will call and order these." A Sea Woudcr. -A monstrous submarine plant is growing in the Northern Pacific Ocean. It is one of the Melano sperms, and known to botanists as the Macrocystis Pyritcra, and is said to dwarf all vegetable products yet known by its prodigious proportions. It grows sometimes to such a si.e as to cover great areas of sea-bed, one specimen having been discovered that occupied by measurement three square miles, while the stem was eight feet thick. It is difficult to conceive of such a plant, and to understand how any adequate system . of . nourishment can bo maintained through so extend ed channels. The macrocistis leaves the famous big trees of California im measurably behind, making them seem, indeed, like small reods. It has an infinite variety, some specimens being so small as to be visible only under a powerful microscope. "The much-talkcd-of wonders of nature are more wonderful than has ever been conjectured, as research and science are daily teaching us. And still it is fair to presume that we have not yet crossed tho threshold of the temple of discovery within which are hidden marvels that the most active and exu berant imagination is unable to con ceive. The realm of poetry is beauti ful and inspiring; but the world of fact exceeds it iu everv way, illustra ting constantly the old idea that truth is stranger than fiction. Indeed, fic tion seems, even when most exaggerat ed, to be little more than tho pale shadow of truth. . .
