A Ww Sketch by (he Oraat RnsilUh No rll.t "Soma Partlcnlart Concernlnsia Lion." The following sketch Is one or ft scries of six called the"MudfoR Papers," written In his younger days lor Scnlley's Miscellany by diaries Dickens. These sketches are entirely unknown to the reading publio of to-day, never having appeared in any of Pickens published works, and as a literary curiosit alone they are well worth perusal." The sketch which follows is called ' Some Particulars Concerning a Lion." We have a great respect for lions in the abstract. In common with most other people, we have heard and read of many instances of their bravery nnd generosity. We have duly admired that heroic self-denial and charming philan thropy which prompts them never to eat people except when they are hun gry, and we have been deeply impressed with a becoming sense of the politeness they are said to display toward unmar ried ladies of a certain state. All natu ral histories teem with anecdotes illus trative of their excellent qualities ( and one old spelling-bcok in particular re counts a touching instance of an old lion, of high moral dignity and stern principle, who felt it his imperative to devour a young man who had con tracted a habit of swearing, as a strik ing example to the rising generation. All this is extremely pleasant to re flect upon, and, indeed, says a very great deal in favor of lions as a mass. We are bound to state, however, that such individual lions as we have hap pened to fall in with have not put forth any very striking characteristics, and have not acted up to the chivalrous character assigned them by their chron iclers. We never saw a lion in what is called his natural state, certainly ; that is to say, we have never met a lion out walking in a forest, or crouching in his lair under a tropical sun, waiting till his dinner should hapnen to come by, hot from the baker's. But we have seen Borne under the influence of captivity, and the pressure of misfortune j and we must say that tbey appeared to us very apathetic, heavy-headed fellows. The lion nt the Zoological gardens, for instance. He is all very well; ho has an undeniable mane, and looks very fierce ; but, Lord bless usl what of thatP The lions of the fashionable world look just as ferocious, and are the most harmless creatures breathing. A box lobby lion or a Regent street animal will put on a most terrible aspect, and roar fearfully, if you affront him; but he will never bite, and, if you offer to attack him manlully, will fairly turn tail and sneak off. Doubtless these creatures roam about sometimes in herds, and, if they meet any especially meek-looking ; and peaceably disposed lellow, will endeavor to frighten him ; but the faintest show of a vigorous re sistance is Buflicient to scare "them even then. These are pleasant characteristics, whereas we make it matter of distinct charge against the Zoological lion r.nd his brethren at the lairs, that they are sleepy, dreamy, sluggish quadrupeds. We do not remember to have ever seen one of them perfectly awake, ex cept at feeding time. In every respect wj upiiom the biped lions against their tour-looted namesakes, and we boldlv challenge controversy upon the subject. w nil these opinions, it may be easily imagined that our curiosity and interest were very much excited the other day, when a lady of our acquaintance called on us and resolutely declined to accept our relusal of our invitation to an even ing party ; " for," said she, " I have got a lion coming." We at once retracted our plea ol a prior engagement, and be came as anxious to go as we had pre viously been to stay away. We went early, and posted ourselves in an eligible part of the drawing-room, from whence we could hope to obtain a full view of the interesting animal. Two or three hours passed, quadrilles began, the room filled ; but no lion appeared. liie may 01 the house became mcon-solalc,-lor it is one of the peculiar privi leges of these lions to make solemn ap pointments and never keep them, when all of a sudden there came a tremendous double rap at the street door, and the master of the house, after gliding out (unobserved as he flattered himself) to peep over the balusters, came into the room, rubbing his hands together with great glee, and cried out in a very im portant voice, "My dear Mr. naming the lion Las this moment arrived." Upon this, all eyes were turned to ward the door, and we observed several young ladies, who had been laughing and conversing previously with great gayety and good-humor, grow extremely quiet and sentimental; while some young genii jmen, who had been cutting great figures in the facetious and small talk way, suddenlysank very obviously in the estimation of the compnny, and were looked upon with great coldness and iudillcience. Even the young man who had Uen ordered from the music Riiop to play the piano-forte was visibly affected, and struck several false notes in the excitement. All this time there was a great talk ing outside, more than once accom panied by a loud laugh, and a cry of "uni capital! excellent! ' irom which wo inlerred that the lion was jocose, and that these exclamations were oc casioned by the transports of his keeper and our host. Nor were we deceived : for when the lion at last appeared, we 1.8- 1 . I'.ii. urEiucaiu 111a wuu was n nine prim man, whisper to several gentlemen 01 111s acquaintance, with upiitted minus, ana every expression ot half suppressed admiration, that foam ing the lion agaiu) was in such cue to- nijfiiu The lion was a literary ono. Of course there were a vast number of peo ple present wno had admired his roar mas, and were anxious to be intro dueed to him ; nnd very pleasant it was to sco ineni brouut up lor the purpose, and to observe the patient dignity with which he received all their rjattiui? and caressing. This brought forcibly to our mind what we hud sooften witnessed at country lairs, where the other lions rn compelled to go through as many forms of courtesy as they chance to be ac quainted with, just as often as admiring panics uappen 10 urop in upon tnem. While the lion was exhibiting in this way Lis keeper was not idle, tor he mingled among the crowd, and spread his praises most industriously. To one gentleman he whispered some vcrv choice things that the noble animal said in the very act ol coming upstairs. which, of course, rendered tho mental effort still more astonishing; to another he murmured a hasty account of a grand dinner that had taken place the day be fore, where twenty-seven gentleman had got up all at once to demand an extra cheer for the lion; and to the ladies be made sundry promises of inter ceding to procure the niaiestio brute's sign-manual for their albums. Then there were little private consultations in different corners, relative to the per sonal appearance and stature of the lion ; whether he was shorter than they had expected to see him, or tu'ler, t r thinner, or latter, or younger, or older ; whether he was like his portrait, or un like it; and whether the particlar shade of his eyes was black, or blue, or hazel, or green, or yellow, or mixture. At all these Consultations the keeper as sisted ; nnd, in short, the lion was the sole and single subject ot discussion till they sat him down to whi- r, and then Uiu people relapsed into their old topics of conversation themselves and each other. We must confess that we looked for ward with no slight impatience to the announcement of supper ; for if you wish to see a tame lion Under particularly favorable circumstances, feeding-time is the period of all others to pitch upon. We were therefore very much delighted to observe a sensation among the guests, which we well knew how to interpret, and immediately afterward to behold the lion escorting the lady of the house down stairs. We offered one arm to an elderly female of our acquaintance, who dear old soul! is the very best person that ever lived to lead down to any meal ; for, be the room ever so small, or the party ever so largo, she is sure, by some intuitive perception ol the eligible, to push and pull herself and conductor close to the best dishes on the table we tay we offered our arm to this elderly female, and, descending the stairs shortly after the lion, were fortunate enough to obtain a seat nearly opposite him. Of course the keeper was there al ready. He had planted himself at pre cisely that distance from his charge which afforded him a decent pretext for raising his voice, when he addressed him, to so loud a key as could not fail to attract the attention of the whole company, and immediately began to ap ply himself seriously to the task of bringing the lion out, and putting him through the whole of his maneuvers. Such flashes of wit as he elicited from the lion I First of all, they began to make puns upon a salt-cellar, and then upon the breast of a fowl, and then upon the trifle; but the best jokes of ail were decidedly on the lobster salad, upon which latter subject the lion came out most vigorously, and, in the opinion of the most competent authorities, quite outshone himself. This is a very ex cellent mode of shining in society, and is founded, we humbly conceive, upon tho classic model of the dialogues be tween Mr. Punch and his friend the proprietor, wherein the latter takes all ttie up-hill work, and is content to pioneer to the jokes and rapartees ol Mr. P. himself, who never fails to gain great credit and excite much laughter thereby. Whatever it be founded on, however, we recommend it to all lions, present and to come ; for this instance it suc ceeded to admiration, and perfectly dazzled the whole body of hearars. When the salt-cellar, and the fowl's breast, and the trifle, and the lobster salad were all exhausted, and could not afford standing room for another soli tary witticism, the keeper performed that very dangerous feat which is still done with some of the caravan lions, al though in one instance it terminated fatally, of putting is head in the ani Jial's mouth, and placing himself entirely at its mercy. Boswell frequently presents a melancholy instance ot the lamentable results of this achievement, and other keepers and jackals have been terribly lacerated for their daring. It is due to our lion to state that he condescended to be trifled with, in the most gentle manner, and finally went home with the showman in a hack cab; perfectly peaceable, but slightly fuddled. Being in a contemplative mood, we were led to make some reflections upon the character and conduct ot this genus of lions ns we walked homewartC and we werefnot long in arriving at the con clusion that our former impression in their favor was very much strengthened and confirmed by what we had recently seen. While the other lions receive company and compliments in a sullen,. uiuuuy, nut iu eay snarling, manner, these appear flattered by tho attentions that arc paid them; while those conceal themselves to the utmost of their power from the vulgar gaze, these court the popular eye, and, unlike their brethren, whom nothing short ot compulsion will move to exertion, are evSr ready to dis play their acquirements to the wonder ing throng. We have known bears of undoubted ability who, when the ex pectations of a large audience have been wound up to the utmost pitch, have peremptorily refused to dance; well taught monkeys, who have unaccount ably objected to exhibipn the slack wire; and elephants of unquestioned genius, who have suddenly declined to turn tho barrel organ; but we never once knew or heard of a biped lion, literary or otherwise and we state it as a fact which is highly creditable to the whole species who, occasion offering, did not seize with avidity on any oppor tunity which was afforded him of per forming to his heart's content on the hrst violin. A Coral Bank. The London JCcho says : The Italians have matlo a rich " lind" off the Sicilian coast, and are profiting by it with their accustomed promptitude. This national treasure trove is an enormous coral bav k, upon which an entire population is now swarming, as though it were a California or Australian gold mine. And, indeed, it is to them a discovery of no small value, for the tourist in Italy, north or .1. in 1 1 r iuui, win rememucr 10 nave seen nearly every peasant girl and woman wealing a string of rose-pink beads, which in England would be regarded as trinkets only nt lor children; though in the South they are valued almost on a par with the glass ornaments from Murano, with which even the loftiest ladies of Venice do not disdain to adorn themselves. Thus the revelation of a new coral bank is, to the Southern Ital ians, a cause of delight and profit equal to mat, in otner regions, ol an unex hausted mine or virgin fishery. Our own importation of this pretty material is comparatively slight, averaging about 30.000 a year, it being regarded as a tx.iuie w urn. inmuuuu or ruauu auoi nment ; yet it far exceeds that of amber and is almost equal to that of pearls. These caprices, as they may be termed, of taste and trade are in many respects remark able, though it is quite intclligiblo mat norn ana ivory, being avail able for co many other uses. should bo imported on a far more considerable scale. Ol such trifles, however, is our commerce largely made up. It would scarcely occur to many that among the miscellanies of British commerce are carved peach and cherry stones, the seeds of Australian peaches used lor the mounting of scarf pins and palm Iruit hollowed to serve as snuff boxes. The seeds of the Tali pot palm, indeed, when polished and tinted. are often substituted iu the market for coral itself, though the imposture is one easily detected7 Ths true coral "adornment of innocence," as Victor Hugo calls it, and transmutation ot hu man bones, according to Shakespeare as a thoroughly Italian product, and the Sicilians fishers are making the best, while trying not to spoil the market of their latest discovery.

How few there are of our brecdets Who give their poultry a chance to take a refreshing dmt bath, though the bene fits which the fowls derive froji this system of bathing are manifold. Those fncks which have their1 liberty unre strained and can roam around at will, do not need auy especial arrangement for the purpose, but choose the most convenient bud of dryfearth to be found. Look how they nestle down into tho loose bed of dust; how they roll first on one side and then on the other; how they rullle up their feathers and throw the fine dust with feet and wings away under their coats of feathers right to tho place where the lice and other insects enemies of the poultry love to harbor, and then say that it does them no good. What a bath in cool, pure water is to a person of cleanly habits, a dust bath is to poultry, and no one who expects his fowls to do well, and to keep free from parasites, will be willing to deprive his birds ot t his cheap though verji effective means of so doing. Poultry with free range on tho farm will be able to help themselves to a dust bath, and find it, too, even if they have to go into the garden or flower beds to do so. With fowls in confinement, the means and matter must be supplied, during the warm weather especially, and nios, fanciers consider it desirable to continue tho supply the year round When there is plenty of shed or house room, and plenty ot dry earth or street dust can be obtained (it should be stored away in barrels during the dry spell tor future use), a wheelbarrow load or bar relful can be emptied in one corner, where it can be confined in a small space with narrow boards, so it does not get scattered and spread around when the hens are dustinc themselves. Another good way, and it has the advantage of being more economical, is to get irom the nearest grocery store, or make them yourself.which cau be easily done, good sized, shallow boxes made of some light material. Thfse arekept nllcd witn dry earth or dust and put in some convenient place in the poultry house or sheds, where the poultry soon learn their uses. Poultry Monthly. The Distribution of Manure. If manure has been thorouehly rotted, yet preserved from wasteful leaching during tho summer, it can be scatte red over meadows or grain fields in early winter, witu very complete dillusion and so as to reach every part of the sur face and every feeding root before these awak3 from their torpor and begin their active suction of the juices of the soil in April. For not only is tho manure spread thinly and finely, but the rains and snow of winter rauke continually an infusion of this diffusion, conveying it into tho loam like as the roots will next convey it from the soil into the stem channels of the various vegetating plants. The only improvement on this practice is that which obviates loss from washing away off frozen grou'id, or leaching away through sand, namely, the gardeners' practice of keening the manure sheltered until the plants begin to want it, and then applying it in liquid form. The effect on plants in a state of growth, and therefore able to " take its tea," is most obvious and striking. Tho late Thomas Kivers.of Sawbridgeworth, so famou3for the superior growth of his roses, dwarf trees and orchard-house culture, urged the application of liquid manure, strong like soup or beer, in January, but weaker, like tea, through tbe season of active growth. He pre ferred night soil, and next cow-duog. Travelers in China all speak admiringly ot the great yield they obtain from the soil, but all feel disgusted at their pro cess. They continually feed with dis solved and well-diluted human ordure, and habit seems to have quito deadened their sense of what is most offensive) to a Western barbarian. They slop the enriching slop about as if it were pur est water, or even eau de Cologne ap plied to a better practical purpose than that odoriferous eau is specifically adapted to. New York Tribune. Comb and the Weather. Cows are very sensitive to the influ ence of the weather. In bright, clear days their vital forces are more active and vigorous, digestion is more rapid, and assimilation and wa9te are more active, and secretions which, like butter, depend upon the destruction of tissue, abundant. Lassitude is favorable to transu lation, because it relaxes the delicate membranes and makes the pass age of liquids easier, and consequently more abundant. Thus, while the fats in milk diminish, the albuminoids increase in mugirv weather: and vet a civen weight of milk makes less cheese than in fiir weather. This loss in cheese is owing to the fact that a9 the albumen of tho blood ppsses over into the milk vessels, the major part ol it is converted into enseine, which is coagulablo by rennet, while albumen is not. This change irom albumen to caseine is effected by tbe vital forces, and is more or less complete as they vary in strength. The greater energy of bright days in creases the per cent, of caseine, and makes that of albumen less. In muggy weather this is reversed. These changes often amount to enough to make live per cent, difference in tho yield of cheese in favorof good weather, while the total of albuminoids, as shown by analysis. is the greater in the muggy days. From th'.i decrease in fat and the increase of albuminoids, which are heavier than fat, the milk of the muggy days shows the greater specific gravity and yields a less per cent, ol butter.

Pour in common gunpowder until the afllicted part is entirely covered. Keep tho whole wet with spirits of camphot. The inhalation of air charged with ammonia vapors, as h remedy for whoop ing cough, has been tried in France with success. One of the methods of applica tion employed is boiling ammonia in the room where the patient is. Doctor Millet, a French army surgeon, recommends powdered aloes as a dress ing for wounds, both as a means of favoring cicatrization, and for closing them. It is said to relieve the severo pain almost immediately, and requires to be renewed only at long intervals. The following drink for relieving sick ness of the stomach was introduced by Doctor uaiahan, and is said to be very palat'tble and agreeable : Beat up ono egg very well, say for twenty minutes, then add fresh milk, one pint: water. one pint; sugar, to make it palatable; Don, and let it cool; drink when cold. If it becomes curds and whey it is use less. To Break up a Broody Hen. A writer trivea this method: "You inclose the hen in a coop (light or dark), and keep her there for three days and three nights. She must not have a par tical of victuals to eat or drink. When she emerges she will be so ' run mad' hungry as to banish all thought of her former intentions. No fear of starvation in this plan. I have practiced it for years, and recommended it to hundreds. It is a sovereign cure. Several hens may be ut together. One obstinate case in a lundred may occur. Then (repeat the dose." Feed Tour .Horses Well. TifAnV fni-mara vrhA Iraon linraa fin pot think it profitable to feed much grain, and frequently feed poor hay,1 As a consequence of such management the animals are not worth much for ltor. When the occasion arises for put ting horses thm fed at hard work, they flre found out of o indition and unable to perform a reasonable task, while in tho spring they require extra feeding for a few weeks, or else the work must fo on with horses unfit for the business, t is far better to give the horses a little grain during the winter, when, should an emergency arise, they are equal to the occasion. Extra Feed for Cows. Cows giving milk should not be al lowed to fall off in quantity from insuffi cient feed. It is more difficult to increase the flow of milk after a shrinkage from lack of full feed than to keep up a high activity of the secretion by artificial feed. When tbe habit of diminished milk secretion at a particular time of the year is established, as it will be by rep resentation, it is not easy to prevent it entirely by liberal feeding. The habit will also be transmitted to the offspring as a family characteristic that will diminish the value of an animal as a producer of milk. Give the cows extra feed as soon as the pasture begins to get short. American Agriculturist. Stewart's Bequests. Tho Guardian, a religious newspaper published in the interests of the Protest ant Episcopal church, states that endow ments have been made at Garden City that will aggregate $3,000,000, "to be devoted to building, equipping and furnishing a collegiate building, where it is intended to educate both sexes for a charge less than $100 a year." No endowments of any kind have been made by Mrs. Stewart' and Judge 1,1 il ton, for the simple reason that there are no com pleted institutions to be endowed. The cathedral is still unfinished ; St. Paul's school for boys will not be complete for a year: the work on tho bishop's house has not gone many feet above ground ; and the question ot endowment is ob viously premature. The two diocesan schools at Garden City occupy houses belonging to the Stewart estate, but are self-supporting. It is not likely that St. Paul's school will ever need a large endowment fund. The cdthedral, how ever, will be a white elephant of the larg est proportions on . the hands of the diocese, unless it 13 liberally endowed. The Guardian continues: "One build ing is now nearly completed and will accommodate &uu students. Two other buildings of equal dimensions will be erected beside it. A divinity school will be established in Garden City." Tho building, which will be completed next year, will accommodate 500 bo s. provided 200 of them camp out in " the grounds, walks, groves or parks that will surround them." or take lodaines in the town, which now consists of seventy houses. As for the second building for boys, it will be time enough to talk about it when there is the re motest need of it. The divinity school has already been established and has entered upon its third year. k Queer Custom.

He only re ceives a neat parcel, containing a silken cord, with nn imperial dispatch settine forth that, in consequence of his great virtues and many services, the emperor is graciously pleased to allow him to strangle or hang himself; and the re cipient is thereupon supposed to write a careful answer, thankinar his maieMv for his consideration, and stating that 1 I.

But a case occurred not long ago in fekin winch sadiy outraged uu feelings ot Chinese court propriety. General Sh-ng-yu, who, during the last China war, commanded, the body of men which treacherously seized Sir Hurry rarKcs ana several outers unocr a na of truce most of the poor iMlows dv ing afterward in great torment was ono of those indiscreet men whose tongues are too long for thoir safety. After the war he took a local command. and having once been rebuked by the empress-mother, indulged in some re marks about her character. Of course some mnd friend told the empress : and sometime afterward, a subordinate of Shang-yu's charging him with some offense be was ordered :o the capital for trial. He came boldly, trusting to his great wcaitu to escape unpicascnt con siquonces. He was lodeed in prison. but allowed to do much as he iiked, and soaie ot his wives used to come and see him daily. Ha staid there so long, and was so comfortable, that he bet;un to think ho had been forgotten, and in an evil hour he sent in a petition to be put at once on on trial. The Emperor Tank wong had died since his arrest, and the empresses were in reality governing through the regent. Prince Kung; nnd General Shang-yu littlejknew that his incautious remarks had been repeated. When the petitions of tho day were submitted to the junior empress, his was read and he was ordered to be beheaded. There was nothing lor it but to obey the empress s orders; and a decree "per mitting" him to strangle himself was immediately drawn up, and sent to him with the usual nackaee of silken cnrrl. But Shang-yu didn't take at all a proper View of his duties, and he did not lend himself to the operation. It was not etiquette to call in the jailers to strangle him, and the bearer of the bowstring and the governor of the jail were hardly strong enough to cope with atolpmhlv muscular man who objected to lettinu 1 . 1 1 !

According to tho latest returns the population of tbe the United Kingdom, is estimated lor England and Wales, 25,460.161; Scotland, 3.661,292; Ire land, 5,363,590. Total, 34,505,043. Jackson (Mich.) Daily Patriot. We learn from Mess. Moore & Hum phrey, that St. Jacobs Oil is regarded as the very best selling liniment ever sold, and is giving the highest satisfaction. It Las effected many good cures, Proportions of the Human Figures The proportions of the human figure are six times the length of the feet. Whether the form is slender or plump, tho rule holds good. Any deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks made all their statues according to this rule. Tho face, from the highest point of the forehead, where tne nair ougins, io uie cliln. in one-tenth of the stature. The hand, from the wrist to the middle fore finger, is the same. From the top of the chest to the highest point of the fore hcad is a seventh. If the face, from tbe roots of the hair to the chin, is divided into three equal parts, the first division determines the place where tho eyebrows meet, and t lie second tne place oi tne nostrils; The height from tho feet to the top of the head is the distance Irom the extremity of the lingers when the arms are extended. , The mild splendors of the rising sun. the raddy, glowing tints of the evening, tbe moon's calm radiance in a serene night all these swell our bosoms with pleasure: but sweeter, still sweeter, is the recollection of a benevolent deed.
