At starting, and where the inclination is not

wonderfully active M.ulcria p"asants, who
run by its side at the rate of eipht or nine
miles an hour, each p-iiding- it by a leath

to draw it nlonr, for the r-ad is every

WONDllllVVT, 31 EM on ins,
FcriTtut 'i Jfcnt?i!j for November has the
following: Pliny says that Cyrus bad A
memory so prodigious tlcit he conld name
ftvery officer and soldier in his armies ; and
that Lucius Scipio knew every I?omau citi
zen by name when that city contained
more than 200, GOU capable of bearing arms-,
bencca speaks of a friend, Pontius Latio,
who could repe.it trbo'im. all the speeches
he had heard declaimed by the Roman ora
tors. It is said that Joseph Scaliger com
mitted to memory both the Iliad and the
Odyssey in twenty-one days. Sir William
Hamilton tell. oV a young Corsican of good
family who had gone to study civil law-, in
which be soon distinguished himself. "Ho
was a frequent visitor at the bouso and
gardens of Jluretns, who, having beard
that he possessed a remaj-kablcart or facul
ty of memory, though incredulous in regard
to reports, took occasion to request from
him a specimen of bis power. He at once
agreed ; aud, having adjourned with a
considerable p3rty of distinguished audi
tors in a saloon, Muretus began to dictate
words, Latin, Greek, baibarions, signifi
cant and nod-signilicant, disjointed and
connected, until lie wearied himself, the
young man ivroto them down, aud the au
dience who were present ; 'we were all,'
he says, 'marvelons.ly tired.' The Corsican
alone was the one of the whole company
alert and fresh, and continually desired
Mnretns for more words, who declared he
would be more than satisfied if he could re
peat the ha!f of what be had taken down,
and at length he ceased. The young man,
with his gaze fiicd upon the ground, stood
silent for a brief season ; and then says
Yitti J 'acinus mirijie'simiem.'' Having be
gun to speak, he absolutely repeated tho
whole words iu the same order in which
they had been delivered, without the
slightest hesitation ; then commencing
from the last, he repeated them backward
till became to the lust. Then, again, so
that he spoke the first, the third, the fifth,
and soon ; did this in any order that he
was asked, and all without the smallest er
ror. He assured me (and ho had nothing
of the boaster in him, that be could recite
in the manner I have mentioned to the
amount of thirty-six thousand w ords. And,
that is more wonderful, they all so adhered
to the mind, that after a year's interval be
could repeat them without trouble. I
know, from having tried him, he could re
peat them without trouble. I know, from
having tried him, he could do so after con
siderable time."
A Wonpfr Natctie i?7 Flotuha.
For many years past there has been noticed
a column of smoke or steam rising from an
impenetrable swamp a short distniu-.e from
the Gulf coast, in Wankulla county. A
short time since, Judge White and a patty
of gentlemen in Leon and '. Jadsden coun
ties formed an expedition to reach, if pos
sible, the undiscovered wonder. They
started from St. Marks in a sailboat and
made their way eastward to the mouth of
Pinhook Creek. One of the party says :
"The coast here is very singular, and
suggests the piesonco of volcanic action al
some time in the remote past. Ye look
upon it as a favorable indication of the vol
cano we were in search of. The whole
coast is a miss of rocks. One called the
"Gray Mare" forms a natural bath house,
walled-iu on all sides. The bed
of the river is a mass of rock, and two
miles from its mouth its whole volume is
vomited np with immense" force from the
yawning jaws of a rifted rock. Here the
river proper terminates and then com
mences a scries of sinks, which extend for
twenty miles back.' -Semi-Tropical Month
ly. Ascient Wall in Mississippi. About
eighteen miles from Port iibson, and one
mile from Urandywine Springs, on thu
place of Mr. O'Qnin, the existence of a
great number of blocks of cut stone has
been known for an indefinite time, and the
people in the neighborhood have used thcui
for props for their houses. Mr. James
Gage, Jr., went out there a few days ago
to explore, and had a specimen stone
brought into town. It is about three feet
long, by about twenty inches square, re
sembling in shapo a bar of soap. It is
probably a native sandstone. Mr. G;ge
took this block himself from beneath the
roots of a large pine tree. It formed the
portion of a wall about twenty feet broad
on the top, which Mr. Gage traced for a
distance of two bundled aud fifty yarls.
The inference that one would naturally
draw from this superficial view is that this
must have been a city wall, but deep ex
ploration might show it to be a portion of
a fort, temple or other building. Anyway,
its antiquity is prabably immense, antedat
ing the history of the red men.
"The smallest man in the world" is
announced in London. Tho real name of
this gentleman is Jean Tlcnema ; bis nom
do illume Admiral Yon Tromp, and his na
tive place Francher, in Holland. He is 26
years of age, stands twenty-six inches iu
his stockines, and is actually a foot shorter
than our "Thumb." The Admiral's ac
complishments ate varied ; he converses
fluently in English, French, Dutch, Ger
man, and Italian all these languages
crammed iuto a head no bigger than a
California apple. It is too much. We can
fancy the agony of Thumb as he reads of
this formidable rival, but he need not de
spair. No man was ever so small that a
smaller co-.ild not be found. Strsnge it will
be if lbmmm does not fish out a fellow who
has to be looked at. through a microscope,
who can put tho Declaration of Indepen
dence, Bunyans Pilgrims Progress, and
Joaquin Millet's poems, with a diamond
pointed steel pen, into I he latest device in
postal cards. Tromp holds the trick just
at present, but it will be a P. T. if PbeneAs
doesn't behold him with the naked eye and
go him one better.
COMPA RTSON OF TJ REEDS OF POTJXTRT.
Ifaac Lynde, of Ohio, wrote to the Poultry

For the next six months he kept an account
of their food and egg production, with the
following results :
The Dark Brahmas ate 209 J quarts of
corn, oats and wheat screenings ; laid 605
eggs. weighed 70 pounds.
The Buff Cochins ate 406 quarts, laid
591 eggs, and weighed 73 pounds.

eggs, and weighed 45$ pouuds.
The Leghorns ate 231$ quarts, laid 807

It will be seen that the Leghorns laid the
greatest number of eggs with the smallest

and its back, which is about the size of a

When viewed from the reverse 6ide the
