The inventor is Lieut.-Colonel Ha instead, a Finlander, who has been in the Russian service. The apparatus is extremely simple, and costs but little. It consists of a glass reservoir, which, being filled with powder, will float at a certain depth, where, by very simple chemical means, it produces an explosion which will pierce the bottom of any vessel. In the experiment in question, when loaded with a veiy small charge, the effect was amazing. The framework of the gun-boat used was shattered, and some of the planks thrown to a height of 80 or 100 feet. Of course the boat sank instantly. Oil a second trial the explosion blew up a column of water 100 feet high, and the shock was felt at a considerable distance. Among the persons present on the occasion were several officers of the Italian frigate Eurydice, which now lies at anchor in our roadstead." — English Paper. Abolition of Crinoline. — The ladies of the quiet little town of Ischi, in Austria, have formed a conspiracy for abolishing crinoline. On a fixed day during the present autumn, all the leading and influential ladies of that town are to appear in public without the article in question ; they have notified to the lessee of the theatre that they will never patronise the place if an actress should make her appearance on the stage in crinoline. " Julius, I understand your aunt is dead." — " Yes, Sam ; and you heard ob her bein' rich?" — "Wai, she left me a big fortune an' my brodder too." — "How did the will read?" — " De will didn't read — a man read it." — "I mean, what did she leave yourself and brother ?" — " Why she left him de inside ob de house, and me de outside."

A treasure of a cook — is not hysterical whenever there is company to dinner. A treasure of a baby — dosen't disturb his dear papa in the middle of the night. Canadian Partridges. — A medical man, Mr Taylor, of Romsey, writes to the Times warning people against eating Canadian Partridges. He narrates two cases in which persons were nearly poisoned by eating of them. He says : — " It is reported to be known in Canada that sometimes these birds are poisonous ; that when the snow is long on the ground they are driven by hunger to feed on the berries of some shrub which makes their flesh unsafe for human food." Some one blamed Dr. Marsh for changing his mind. "Well," said he, " that is the difference between a man and a jackass ; the jackass can't change his mind, and the man can — it's human [ privilege. ' A mercantile man of Foote's acquaintance had written a poem' and exacted a promise that Foote would listen to it, but he " dropped ofF" at the end of the first pompous line — " Hear me, O Phcsbus, and ye Muses nine !" " Pray be attentive, Mr. Foote. 1 ' " I am," said Foote ; "nine and one are ten — go on !"
