A STRANGE MANIA.
ffnrious Characters—An : . Oifl French
” Xaxiacroitst and ills two Assistant*.
St. Paul for *oly contains a sketch of an
original character—Martin Fereol, a celebrated’
pencil taxidermist, who died'at Bourgogne in
J 849 at the age of one hundred years.
From liis earliest infancy the passion of his
life, made itself manifest.r, Disdaining the cord-.
paiiionsliip^of s 'clnldfen, Be' spent his leisure
hours in exclusive communion with tlie-ani
mals of'the village; arid'one of the few occa
sions which induced him in after life to relax
his taciturnity Wa&cthe, temptation to relate:
how his mothdr seriously feared the gift of
speech had been refused to him, from the fact
of his being unable, at the age of three years,
lo articulate a single word, while able at the 1
same time to bark with 'Significant and- omi
nous correctness.
After ten yearn old he had tiie lo
cal ornithology, and was employed by trappers
as an adept at calling.; At twelve he deceived
the parish with a wren’s nest of his own. con
struction, and had earned at sixteen the repu
tation of an accomplished bird-staffer.
The first half century of his life was passed
inhisnative village, where the conscription
and the levy, joined to the military vexations
of the period arid the entire loss of his sayings,:
through an elaborate fraud, contributed to ’fos*.
ter in iris heart misantliropic tendencies which
ultimately ripened into settled hatred under the
smart of an aggravated slight.
Though averse to notoriety, and .though sul
lenly repelling the advances •• of friendship, he
was courted by the admirers of liis art, and
consulted by its leading ineml)ers. It was; lie
who classed the Egyptian waders for the Mu- .
seuiri of Fragile, who restored the speciinens
of the. Royal Cabinet at .Athens, and who
mounted, with' 1 Itemferi, of Miiestriclit, the
eleven egi-ets of the Duke of Parnia.
At the age of sixty he accepted an engage
ment as conservator of a private museum. The
proprietor,, the Baron Kaoul de Lernuizeau,
a man of large fortune and scientific tastes, in
vited him to take lip liis abode at the chateau,
ofleriiig to lodge and entertainhim, without de
ducting anything from liis stipend. Tliis gene-,
rous proposition, Fereol, dreading to compro
mise liis independence, declined without
thanks, preferring to reside in an isolated cot
tage at the extremity of the village, where he
was afterwards joined by iris sister Babotte,
Who there lived with him till the day of his
death, surviving him by thirteen weeks.
His engagement at the chateau procured
Fereol, for the rest of his' life, an occupation
congenial to his tastes. The museum ’was as
.extensive as the design of its proprietor, which
was to render it a complete cabinet of Euro
pean zoology. Commenced by the Baron’s
. father, under the auspices of Buffon. himself,
the collection had been enriched, by successive
additions, till,' during an' interval of confisca-
the museum had been ravaged and dis
organized by wanton or sacrilegious bands.
“When confided to Fereol’s care, the museum
was an assemblage of confusion. Scientific
distinctions had been effaced by neglect and
insects, dust and exposure had obliterated
1 color, and scarcely a vestige remained'of the
artistic labor bestowed on the original arrange
ment.
• Fereol entered on . his work with passion,
and after restoring the few specimens not hope
lessly disfigured, he presented the Baron with
an endless catalogue of deficiencies, the gradual
supply of which was to be thenceforth the
pride and lapor of his life. Ten years of dili
gence-sufficed, however, to complete his task.
With unlimited means at his disposal, and in a
position,-through the Baron’s influence, to
command effective co-operation, he was able,
/at the - expiration'of that period, to regard the
' collection as fairly representing ..the science of
the age in respect of European zoology .
From that time foitli he became the exclu
sive guardian of bis trust, never absenting him
self diiring the day, and never departing at
night without retaining - the custody of the
- keys. The Baron treated him as a spoiled
child, encouraged his eccentric genius, and
humored his belief in the sovereign importance
.. of his art.
But if Fereol was an oddity, his two as
;-. - gistonts were still more remarkable characters.
- One of these was his pupil, Desire, who had
entered the Baron’s service as an infant orphan.
A'naturalist by instinct, his delights and ten
dencies were sylvan, and the genial character
of the work assigned to him at the chateau con
verted his daily service into a cask of love.
The Baron had placed him at the exclusive dis
posal of old Fereol. who, from approval and
confidence, had proceeded to tenderness, and
ultimately adopted him formally, and be
queathed him all his savings.
A NOVEL BED-CHAMBER.
The attic floor of the chateau was devoted,
to the storing of roots and orchard fruits.' The
walls were liuhg rbund with herbs and dried,
grapes, and layers of pods and seeds were dis
posed over all the shelves. The gamering of
these stores was Desire’s recreation, and'his
care was to maintain them in artistic and in
viting order. The whole floor. presented the
, . .appearance of a dried garden, the illusion being
enhanced by the comforting reality of a crop
safely gathered home, and secure from storms
and squirrels. To subdue the powerful fra
grance from these collections, the windows
were kept open night and day, hut the attic
floor was not the less Desire’s permanent and
elected residence. In one corner was an open
doorway,leading to a small bed-room. This
• was Desire’s chamber, arranged after his own
heart. The bed had been removed, and in its
place Was a nest of hay, kept constantly re
newed and turned, and refreshed at intervals
with clover-heads and scented heath. The
window was token away, as being an obstacle
to pure, air. The space created was, neverthe
less, not left a gaping void; underneath was a
trough Idled with earth, from which rose a
growth of white thorn, that formed a standing
hedge between the apartment and the open ah'.
Round the adorn, by way of border, was a
continuous line of raised jilank, pierced with
f holes and covered with layers of close turf,
•enu.iF't.y which were maintained in freshness by con
..-slant andmimsfeattention, i A bench of wild
, -flowers in green pate completed the furniture,
the room containing nothing else, excepting a
garden watering-pot and a china foot-bath
filled With.liye fish. The toUet-was else where,
Desire holding that manly and healthful ablu
tions were best at the pump-trough
in the stable-yard.
4 It Was from this leafy observatory that De
- - sire noticed patiently unfrequent'and .slow re
currihgl'aets that'served to elucidate the con
‘ tests of the .owls and kits. The result appears
, in along and most original manuscript, tend
ing tO;establish the proposition that bats do oc
casionally become the prey of owls. It is
, argued that hats are flying mice, and mice are
the natural prey of owls. Owls and. bats are

A. SvoilAN.WnO I’KEFEKRKD BKUTISS TO MAN.
. Desire’s veneration for. Martin was tempered
with a kind of awe. His regard for the aged
Babotte was a feeling of unmingled love. Ba
botte w&s no less a character than, her brother
Martiri;’ biit 'ofSii originality quite distirictfroin
his. What in him was acrimonious bile, inher
was undiscririiiriating goodness, arid her sole
wrong, to man was an uncompromising prefer
ence for brutes. ~ Her intellectual faculties
were of the lowest grade, and the reputation of
her childhood had been that of a hopeless idiot.
She was unable to read on write, andhadnever
learned to tell the 1 clock. ' But she ‘ needed
neither boriks nof time-piece. She : knew the
hours from tiie dial that needs no repairing,and
she read from' the statute hook 'ofNature,in no
ambiguous characters, that order, thrift, clean
liness,are God’s first law. . She lived in? unin-
terrupted conversation- With the dumb v beings
around her; arid possessed means of - intelligence
which were secrets between herself ’ arid’ her
coitesporidents. She could ascertain froiri the
cat what ailed her kitten, and understood, an
application from the cow lor change of pasture.
Her parallel lias been imagined by Victor'Hugo
in iris roinance of “Conscience l’lnnoceut.”
The legion v tongues' of natrire,/ whether ex
pressed in cries,“in 1 squeaks or croaks, were as
familiar to her as the voice of her pwnbrpther;
The birds and frogs gave .her.'warning of the
approach of,rain and sunshine, and she. pre
pared for change with all the t certainty of uner
ring instinct. 1 She lived among the' dumb na
tives of the field, unfeared and unavojded. ‘No
biid SlfSTSrited lier ’of wrorig,no reptile fled at
her approach. In the meadow the magpie re
fused to riiove out of her path; on the.plain the
sky-lark flew to its nest before her eyes; and in
wood the squirrel remained in sight upon the
tree which sheltered her. With Hugo’s Inno
cent she had brought home clustered bees from
forest hives, and with Legduve’s Melicerte had
nursed and cured a dying duckling which had
been seized and partly devoured by a hog.
Had Babotte been free and friendless, she
might well have smiled on society and passed
her way; Her home was ready found in some
secluded wood, her food tiie roots and berries,
and lier companions the birds and beasts. But,
Martin; her sole relative and guardian, by law,
had charge of her person and estate. She had
for some time pined under restraint, but had
taken strength from liabit, and was for many
years her brother’s.' only housekeeper. She
ordered liis cottage with superstitious miriute
ness, deferred to him with conviction, and rev
erenced his profession witli a religious awe.
Her aversion to/flesh was inviricible, and her
brother’s taste was ho little camiverpus that lie
abstained habitually. Babotte’s resources
provided ample compensation., Her, larder was
,the open field, and, the forest. her kitchen gar
den. She had wild salads for all seasons, and
fragrant-herbs in endless and refreshing variety.
Martin took all liis sister presented 'him,relying
orilier instinct with blind faith. Desire affirms
lie; would have eaten a furze bush, if Babotte
bad set it before him.
Martin’s aiiection for liis sister was pro
found, but contained hr it a leaven of grimness.
He accepted hersubnliSsiveness as liis due, and
notwithstanding, her rare talent.asa.lierbalist,
he conceived'himself, removed above her by a
gulf of intellectual distance. He nevertheless
admitted the reality of her mysterious sympathy
witli birds and animals, and he held lier unri
valled in the preparation of coffee.
A QUARREL ABOUT SPIDERS,
He Lad Lad with her but one serious quarrel
during the'course of their companionship, and
that one >vas 01V the subject 6f spiders. Babotte
objected to disturb the spiders after they had
once spun their >vebs and become fairly domi
ciled in the apartment., She argued they were
not like foul parasites that attack your sub
stance or annoy your, person,iand that to re
move them - witiibutTriotive^was r a selfish abuse - -
of power. To. the plea of cleanliness slie : re
plied that tlie spiders themselves were not in
herently dirty, and that slie kept the webs
dean-by dusting them-with the.parlor bellows. -
Refuted by Martin, she. submitted hqr defence
to the abbe, who.treated it as a perverse whim,
and the spiders were condemned accordingly.
lt was not. that Martin at all shared the re
pugnances shown in general to those most re
pulsive insects. Spiders made no exception to
the universality of his taste for animals, and his
apology for their life and usefulness was a point
of standing issue between himself and the
Abbe Gassendi. The abbe admitted much,
hut confessed he could imagine a
Paradise complete without spiders. It was
true,'lie. said, they had r their merits, like all
created beings. Though it was quite false that
they exhaled noxious vapors, it was certain
they destroyed great quantities of flies in places
where birds had no access. They were invalu
able in sultry summers, when the flies greatly
plagued the poor, infecting their dwellings,'
spoiling their food, and buzzing them out of
their senses. He recognized further in spiders
three distinct qualities—two positive and one
negative; they were diligent and patient, and
not bloodthirsty. They killed for hunger hut.
did not massacre for rage like stoats and mar
tens. It might be said the spiders were less
destructive than their webs, which were often
filled with flies untouched; and these webs
supplied the swallows when insects in the air
were scarce. Sometimes, also, tlie fly strug
gled through the net, and, falling to the ground, ■
became food for beetles ;for nothing is lost in
nature’s careful system. -■
Still, it was difficult to be human and not de
test tlie spider. He passed by common con
sent as the emblem of a cruel fatality.
Poets used him as the extreme term of an odi
ous contrast, and the most impartial writers
said unpleasant tilings of him. Voltaire as
signed him the standing epithet of execrable.
Tlie English poet Thomson described him as a .
villain, and Boileau denounced him as the as
sassin with six legs, Bqjdmorvit was truCi rey
fers to him advantageously; but -'tliis rls 'appla-.
rently by way of apology for his being, found
in kings’ palaces, which Solomon does not pre
tend are-any 1 the better; for liis presence. It
was true also that etymologists wrote of spiders
•with great complacency; but with them the
eulogy was professional, and passed for noth-'
mg; there were also men who wrote compla
cently on virulent pustules, of described with
rapture a well-developecTpimple on tlie nose.:
I In fact, no doctrine was too untenable for das- •
perate or eccentric apologists.
Bahotte’-s latest wish was to be eaten by ants,
and .she had secretly enjoined Desire to convey
her corpse immediately after her death into the . 1
forest, and lay it between two ant-hills in ;a<
particular spot. Martin had at this: time lost
all consciousness, and Was being gradually ex
tinguished by extreme old age. He died in his
" hundredth ycaiyahd! in his native
that effect he
had expressed some'years before .to the Baron’s
family. Babotte, though twenty yearn younger,
survived liilii only by a few. weeks. On tlie
day following that on which she died her body
was nowliere to he found. An inquiry was
forthwith instituted to unravel the mystery, but

HABITS AN» INHABITANTS OF THE
. . NEW FOREST. \ ,
If any one wishes' to - overleap the centuries
and plunge into Old: England—William the l
Conqueror’s England—let him pass a week in
the New Forest. "He maydfot, indeed, now-a-;
days enjoy the archaeological pleasure of beiiig
set upon by highwaymen, and may be de
prived of the antiquarian delight of being treed,
by a wild boar-; but riearlyAyery primitive

Koutiicm England is. identified by iristorians
With the l MdidiileUf/e of “ Saxon clironi
elCs (so named after Natanleod, the
British chief ’ conquered by Cerdie and
Cynric, A. D. 508), and wns aftenvard known
as Ytene, i£ word signifying ‘'Furze.” The
Norman conqueror preserved?it, and;placed it
under the severe, restrictions of the .Norman,
forest laws, extending it too from Southampton
to the Avon, including an. area of 144,000
acres. William is, by our modern estimates,,
tiie original “ English geptlemim.!’ According
to the prejudiced, though contemporary chroni
cles, lie was “ tiie fatlier of the wild deer,” one
who “ loved the wild beasts as if lie were their
father;” liis love being shown by his destroy
ing fiftydiurclies arid exterininatirig numerous
villages tliat the deer might have a pleasant
■ home; also by ordering tliat whoever should kill
a hart should have his eyes-put out, similar pro
tection being afforded the hares. ,
OIPSIESIN THENEAV FOEEST—TnEinraAEECT.
Their normal wprk is, since the oppressive
laws against pilfering, the ' making of baskets
and general wicker-work ; and on nearly every
silent road orie may meet their wagons loaded
with such supplies. The old, Acts of Parluv
ment call them Egyptians: to the natural eye
they' are half-naked Hindoos, of a different
tribe to the gipsies of Cornwall and Devonshire.
They speak the mysterious Romany dialect.
A friend of mine,who lives nehr the New Forest,
wrote in a paper in .Fraser last year that he
had consulted the postman of the district, who
said that feW ’pf the gipsies could read, and they
rarely received -letters; they pick up many pen
nies by begging and fortune-telling; they have
no religion; but his main puzzle was what they
do with their dead, as he had ‘never heard Of a
dead gipsy. They have mixed a great deal
with the other foresters, • and the latter are
mainly the absorbed. He reports also thatthe
dialect of the Forest is ungainly, harsh, drawl
ing, and spoken mainly'With the teeth shut.
Here is a specimen; “Ilev ’ee zeen t’ fox,
Jurge? they’se lost he, I bet!”—“Na-a-a! I
zeed en goo into vnzz, (i. e., furze) at t’ earner
o’ tliic (this) ’ood.”—“Big un?”—“Ya-a-as!” —
“Where hist gwihe now, then?”—“Whoam:
thee’s hetterr come with I.? : The “r” has not
a burr, hut a’ thin, shtiiing sound. They haye
a good many; wbrds which are not usual in
book-Englisli, and some of them expressive;
for example—-“ilisky,” small, like small' fain;
“louster,” noise; confusion; “shunma]rin,”,
slovchy, careless, untidy; “wivvery,” giddy,
as when the - head swims ; “mokins”. .are coarse
gaiters; “hum water’’ is a cordial with mint in
it. They call the bog-myrtle or sweet-gale the
“gold-withy,” and the white-beam “lioar
witliy.” '
That which strikes;-the,: American, whose
country hardly furnishes what can be called a
dialect, is the ‘ wild misuse of pronouns. . One
may often read on the grave-stones of the
Forest: * . ,

“Him shall never come, again to we, ■ ■
But us shall surely one day go to he.”
“HER MAJEKTY’B FAVORITE HIND.”
The hunting of those times must be only a
mock hunting at best, as compared with that
once witnessed ;in the old forests. Wretched
harts and hindsinre kept in parks and stalls, to
be brought out 1 now and then and chased 1 on
their feeble flight until they fall before the dogs,;
which inflict a few wounds, to be thert'dfiven
off. The hart thus pursued is kept until its
wounds heal, when it is again subjected to a
similar torture. If royalty could do any wrong
the amiable Queen of England would be prose
cuted to-inorrow by the Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals,for of all animals that
which has been most frequently and cruelly
tortured by repeated hunting and wounding is
“Her Majesty’s favorite hind.” The Queen, of
course, never saw one of her stag-hounds or
binds, but the miserable conventionality which
presumes that hunting is the favorite ' amuse
ment of English royalty might surely attract
the attention of a government sufliciently, ad
vanced to have such a sturdy Quaker, as John
Bright in it. Nevertheless,’ a majority of: the
House of Commons would probably vote, even
now, that the abolition-of the game laws, the
cessation of hunting, etc., would injuriously af
fect the British Constitution. And it is yyell
known that Lord / Palmerston (who in the
House defended prize-fighting) was indebted
for much of the confidence he received . . .from
both Whigs and Tories to his love of fox-hunt
ing; When Jehn Bright was appointed to 1 of
fice, an aged Whig was heard to sigh : : “Well,
at arty rate, they say lie catches a salmon splen
i dully!” With an unerring instinct, he bad, in
deed, hit upon the statesman’s one weakness.
I.ACK OF DARING IN MODERN FIELD SPORTS.
’’ Now-and then’ one may. find certain' regions
in Great Britain where hunting seems to be
liiirdly 1 art anachronism; where it still
tile serious pursuit; of the poor, and the natural
exercise of the wealthy. One is thankful to
believe that it saves some young squires , and
noblemen from the wreck of life which besets
those'who leave tlieir estates for the vices of
London and tlie villainies of the turf. But,
■ after all is said, the hunting squire is by no 1 ,
means aioyely character, and the month Of
sport is very apt to be also a montli of dissip.v
tion. The element of daring having gone,out,
of the hunt, has been followed by the spirit of
the genuine old English huntsman. You will,
now and then hear of some old fellow, who lias
fled bald to break his bones, and those of his
friends,’by erecting bush heaps,-fences, etc.',
along the woods. I saw in Wales the portrait
of a man who finally killed himself by his ef
' forts to reimpart danger to the hunt, and his
memoiy was held in much veneratlort; but as
the forests shrink, and steam honeycombs the
country, the animals become tame,and hunting
excitement an affectation. iStesentiy ftfie§ve-’ i i'

123; ’63,122; ’69,-117 graduates. The total
membership of the class lias been 185; sixty
eiggt having given up the class for various
reasons and at various .times during the four
years’ course. ,
The total height of our 117 men is 667 feet 1
inch. Our tallest man is C. D. McN., who
measures 6 ft. 5 in., and as far. as we can dis
cover from past statistics does his class the
honorof being the tidiest man who has ever
graduated at Yale. Our average height is sft :
8f in. \Our shortest man is D. M., 5 ft. 3jj in.
The weight of the class ranges from 208 (W.
,S. B) and 206 (G. E. II.), to 116 (J. O.) and
114 (S. D. G.). The total weight is 17,172
pounds, winch, divided among 117 men, gives
an average Of 146.76 pounds. . V : : v
Of the minor immoralities of life, we are

The card players number one hundred mid
four, and as far as we know whist is the favorite
game; sixty-six play billiards, though many of
them only occasionally, and fifty-three ride the
velocipede. The morals of the class have been,
about ontlie average. There > are- fifty-eight;
church members, of whom forty-one have,been:
engaged in Sunday school during , their course.

The Caban i Insurrection.
[SpecialDespatch, ip the I’hUa&a. Evening Bulletin.)
"Washington, ,July,2(t.— The otlicers of the
steamer Nipsic (Captain Sielfridge), vr|iicli haa
arrived at the Navy Yard here, where she is
now dismantling, from tliO West India Station,
liring some interesting iiifofmatt&ixalioiit Ou
ban matters, They say all accOhnts agree that
the insurrection is .still - unsubdued, though
trustworthy facts about the renorted encoun
ters between the Sjianiards and,rebels are very
hard to get. ‘ 1 •
. The native inhabitants of the coast univer
sally sympathize with the rebels, and nearly
all of them have relatives out with the insur
gent army. In tlie towns where Spanish
troops were stationed; ;?whteU their military
bands would play at nightfall, feeinusic would
be received by tntt: infiabitaiim'iii absolute si
lence; but if a native band struck up. It Would
at once be greeted with fears of
the ferocious soldiery.could not suppress., •• •
There, jivas a gooddeal p{ cholera add yOlloW
fever, espdcialJy iii Havana,'and 1 : the- Spanish
troops were suffering some. 1 < . ,
Captain Selfridge .sums 'up the situation by,
saying there" . are ; threo- ; distinct and separate
warring parties in Cuba: First, the Impe
rialists, headed by the Captain-General, who
stand hy the home government: second, fee
volunteers from'the Island. who iwant the
island erected into a separate province,
dependent Upon Spain, , hut under their
control, with full liberty to oppress the
Cubans and confiscate their property—
the volunteera insisting jthat the Spanish
regulars should be sent home, and leave them
to put down, fee insurrection; and third, the
party of independence. The last depend con
siderably upon outside aid, are poorly armed
and supplied; but have the sympathies of fee
wliole native population.
The rebellion could easily be subdued if the
first two parties would consent to act in con
cert, but this they obstinately refuse to do.
