Ilempdert, having convinced himself.beyond all peradventure that the world was fiat, not round, as com monly supposed, undertook the arduous missisonary work of 'converting man kind to his way of belief. Not making much progress, by following the ordi nary methods of private preaching, be resorted to the expedient of offering a bet upon the subject. He made a pub lic announcement, offering to stake $2,600 againt $2,500 to be put up by any scientific man, thathe could prove that the earth wad flat, and not round, as everybody else believ'ed. No one appears to have taken imme diate, notice of this absurd offer, and' Hampden came out with' another an nouncement, in hich he boldly de clared that selent fie men knew they were guilty of a imposition in pro pounding the ro nd theory, and that, in coneequence, hey were afraid to take up Ills challe ge and stake $2,500, as he proposed., But the challenge having come to the notice of Mr. Alfred Wallace, a gentle man of highleputation, and a member of several scientific Societies, he accep ted thelconditions, and put up his $2,- 600. T bia amount, together with a' si milaramount;put up by Hampden, was deposited, subject •to , the order of the referees' Mr: Walshi editor of theirield newspaper per, who Was to • pay over the $6,000 to the .winning man. [ The 4mode adepted for settling the questio4 was planned by Hampden, the advoeate of the flat theory, and the experiment appears to have been con 'ducted in all respects as he desired.-= The ground selected was a six mile lev el,-on thp Bedford canal. Three long poles of equal length were provided; auks phinted,at equal depths, and at dis tances of three ,nallea apart. A tele scope was then employed, through which It was clearly aturunmistakably perceived that the central pole was five feet above the level line of the telescope,' which at once proved that the earth was not flat, but round. 'Mr. Hampden expressed himself 'satisfied that he had lost the bet,_ and the money was accor dingly paid by the referee to the win ner, Mr. Wallace. The experiment and the ielescop were level, butnot so the head of Mt Hampden. He that's convinced agains i his will is of the same opinion still. It was not long before Hampden woke up to the mortifying conclusion that he had made a blunder, or that in some way he had been befogged. His reason told him that the earth was still flag, and not round, as that lying telescope and those [fibbing poles had affirnied.— He concluded also that Wallace was a thimble-rigger, ,a pickpocket, a liar, and a 'swindler, and went about pro claiming these libels. in the most un blushing maniter. This so annoyed Wallace, that lie brought suit for libel 'against Hampden , = and 'the jury lately mulcted, /4131.11 ii, i3;ooo,damages, mak ing a sum' total: of $5;500 Cash paid out on account of his theory that the earth is flat. Poor Hampden is indeed a mar tyr to science. —Scientific Am erican. The Hotel Clerk. Some shrewd writer thus takes off the conventional American Hotel clerk. " He was young ; he had a neat mous tache and Well brushed hair; jeweled studs sparkled on his shirt front, and rings on his white hands ; a gentle disc lain of the 'traveling, public breathed from his person in the .mystical odors of Ihlang-ihlang.

The worst of it is, that there appears to be no pros pect of relief, except a turn in the whirlgig of fashion, and that there are no exceptions to the rule of torture and deformity ;—for the good and sensible of the sex inunolato themselves with the foolish and the frivolous: No de gree of sense,- or independence, or sta bility of character, seems to abseil° any woman who has the charm of wo manhood about her, from slavery, to fashion, at whatever sacrifice of time, comfort, modesty, or health.

Y. Thitee. A " Potato Race" in N. Hampshire. A correspondent of the Boston Ad vertiser -writes from East .Wilton, New Hampshire, that outdoor athletic exer cises are the fashion, and one of th novelties is the potato race, which isf thus described : A very curious trial of strength and speed it is. Three lines of potatoes were laid. ,Each line is of * fifty—each a yard from each other. Of course eaeli line is 49 yards long. At the end of each line is a basket, by .which at the start a contestant stands. In this case there aro three competitors; At the word " go," each one begins where be chooses on his lint to pick up potatoes that he may bring them to his basket.' He must pick up but one on each trip, and turn to bring it back to the brisket. Your mathematical read ers will see that this involves seven thousand three hundred and fifty feet of running, with such deductions as may be made for an outstretched arm when one comes to his basket; and with the serious addition of two turns of every potato, or one hundred turns in all. Three apirited contestants en tered, and one of them, named . 'Thrash: er,' distinguished here as having won a tub race in the lastsports, which were aquatic, performed that feat in a li4le more than nilue minutes. The other two were elose l behind him. If you ev er have any Oeasion to try, let me tell you that the 4eientitic performance is 'to take your long runs firSlt when your wind is rood. When you want to re gain your breath, take your short runs, which involve the delay 'Of turning, but are easier for breathing: You see how good the time was for a distance of a mile and a half. The, following account of a Curious freak in the entomologicalline, we copy from an exchange: "Recently myriads of little black caterpillars .have appeared in various sections, of Tennessee. On the line of the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad, a few miles south of Memphis, they c vered the railroad track to such an 'e tent, that the wheels . of the railway t sins refused to pass over them, but to hided around with such veto - city that II e trains stood still. Upon reaching tl e " varmints," the locomotive crush el them 'With a popping, snapping, s( nod for a few hundred feet, and when tl e wheels were well greased with fat, i t'N6in Id stop ; snd not until the track, was swept - and sanded, . would th e wheels perform their duty. Shortly after passing, the caterpillars again swarmed over the- rails, and the next train passing 'had the .same work of sweeping to perform. They have also been seen, though less' numerously, on the A elll phiS }tlld ChfirleStoll and Mem phisnd Little Rock roads.
