It waa curious to notice hi behavior in prcaouco of tho domesti cated animals. The ugliest, filthiest, stupidest, most unrooHonablo, most ob atlrmto creature in Iho barn-yard i tho pig, yet, with a stick in his hand, Agaaslc would go up to tho most un sociable, " cauUnkcrous," miaauthropie grimier, and after a fow soft words and a movement of tho stick ovor tho bristle of tho crcatnro in the right di rection, tho pig would lift iU bead erect, it small fijrc wonld glisten with a vaguo intelligence, it wonld remain al most molionlek in a kind of pleased Hurprlse, ami omit a sound indicative of as much content and comfort a are indicated by tho purring of a cat.

" lieauly," wty tho poet, " it it own exenso for being." Agassis went bo yond thi tolerant maxim to tho extent of affirming that Deformity ha iU own excuse for leing. Tho fact that any animal existed wa with him a justifi cation of iU existence ; and after con venting with it, and penetrating to it iuteiior nature, ho treated it a Shake sitcaro treated Dogberry, or Aucient l'istol, or Mr. Quickly, or any of the other queer blood-relation connected with him through a common descent from Adam. A there wa no form of human existence which was too low to be beneath tbo humano sympathies of 6hakeearo, o there wa no kind of animal existence which wa too low to engage thu nvmpatbiea of Agassiz.

There ha been au olovation of sand, form erly known a "llrotbora' lleaoh," a hundred and fifty feet long and tifty feet liigb, ono ot tho largest Handbills on tho island. Latterly tho wind ha blown it away, no that tbo sand duno has lowered to a height oL but a fow feet. For many yoar it wo u mark for tho liHbormou aud coaster, but is now Roaroely discernible from a abort dintauoo at ea. Especially during tho past winter, Captain Collin, of tbo lifo naving station, says, havo thoro been great ehaugo from thufreqnott vlolout winds, A short time ago nonio gentleman observed prohiuliug from tho Hand which romalued of tho vanished hill it largo bono, and curiosity was ex 11 1 1 ml to disonvur what it wa. Tools wero proourod, and on digging tkoir labor woro rewarded by tho discovery of a immt extraordinary hkoletou. Tho nknll wa between two aud three feet wide, and they uuoovorod a lougtb of backbone of ovor seven feet. It waa not a fish, they woro certain, Hiueoajoiut of leg bono, as they describe it, ovor eighteou iuche long nud butweeu four and live inches iu diameter, wn dis covered.

Fuels speak for themselves. A wo man' tougua is a severe fact. J'.iiglatid and Africa. Tho project for an African overland tclograpb, which U now lieingdis oussod, is a matter of great interest not only to tho commercial and political world, but especially to (J rest liritoin and tho United BtaUM, tho two moat important nations on tho globe. The Urltlsh government ha examined, by a commission, threo proposed routes, which tho commission denominate the " went central," tho " oast central," aud tho " coast" line. Tho " cast central" appears, thus far, to bo tbo favorite lino. Tho route which it take is significant in view of tho fact that tho enterprise is really in tho hand of Iho Eugliih government. Tho roulo lies through magnificently productive country of which that nation virtually has control. It runs from Alexandria up tho Kilo as far as Lako Victoria, a distanced near ly two thousand miles. On tho north west oorncr of thi Uko Mtcsa baa hi kingdom. The Egyptian government propose lo build and protect it thus far. Thonco it goes almost directly south, through tho lako Tanganyika and lako Nyaasi country to the Zambesi river, whore it may turn east and go to Mozambique, or continno directly soulh lo I'ort Natal. la either case it will iiro to liritiah merchants direct communication with tho richest portion 01 luo Airictn continent, n win pass through Egypt. Nnbia, Henna, Unyamneza and Zahgacbar. This U tho regular traveled route from the Zulu country north, If Lngland ob tain possession a luo z.oias buo win have an uninterrupted route from tho Kod Bca lu tbo Capo of Good Hopo. Hho already baa oonnectlon from Egypt and from tho East Iodic to tbo borne country. Hor bucco Id tho nlu war will givo hor a perfect circuit of com munication through Europo, Africa and Asia. Tho great wealth of Uio oast coast of Africa is not generally known. ItU still a lerra incognita to moot people, except to llioso who have a commorcUl interest in it. Tho principal Utc through which thi telegraph lino will pass aro Zanguobar and Mozambiquo. Zsnguobar is rich in dates, sugar, spices, aromatic gums, ivory and gold. It also raise, in abundance, rice, plau Uin, cocoanuU and caoutchouc. IU imporU are nearly all lirillsh. Mozam biqno export mahogany, ebony and other fino woods, bippopotamu ivory, washed gold, etc. England already has control of this trade, and through her tho United States is receiving great boneflU from it. Sho i really tho con trolling power all alone; tbo cast coast ; for tbo 1'ortuguoso, Ike only European people who havo any foothold there, aro very weak. She abw ecjatesUttw ni of tbo western coast ; and aba owes Australia. With tho nubjugation of tho Znlus, tho liritiah em oire will havo established an unbroken lino of trade wbiob will ultimately givo ber the possession or tbo whole African continent. That con a nest is moro a matter of money than of glory. When she achievs it, she will dicUto tho commorco of tho world. But sho will havo to share it with tho English-speaking people ol America. Ilurhnglon Htvtt-Eyt. Flockiug to the Cities. Tho Oovornor ot Connecticut, in a recent address to tho how Haven Hoard ot Trado. denlored and deprecated in tho course of bis remark tbo habit into which young men bad fallen of late years, of leaving their home in tbo country and flocking totbe larger town and cities, as if there waa nomo mogio within tho limit of such places to suddenly change their mitmoa and offer them almost anything lu lifo which might chance to excite their de sire. It i an error from which New EugUud is at tho present timo undeni ably suffering severely. It is not possi ble thus to strip tho farms of tbo prom ise whiob is to bo found in youth alono, and expect that an agricultural popula tion ol a nigli autnuaru win ue perpetu ated. Bosido all that, lit tie do theso volnnUry refugees from home droam ot tho harder lot which they will havo to oncounter than they ever need fear if thoy remained at homo. On Hit soil iudustrv is alwavs assured at least ot a refuge, it not ot a home ot comiort and plenty, 'rossoti on we worm, u ib not suro of what a day may brisg forth tor it. Young meu with a stock of health and hope novor would think of aban doning all the uasociatioua of early life, parents and all, if thoy oould bo made to realieo tho hardships and aacriUees, not to speak of the perilous aud destroy ing tempUtious, which lio beforo tham iu an attempt to make their way alono iu tho world. While labor i tbo oou dition ot Bticcess iu tho country equally with tho city, it bring homo to tho heart ot tho laborer it daily consola tions and rewards. There is every thing for tho individual to enjoy on tho farm, af tor be has oneo fairly conquered tho right to eujoy. Aud a man ot otiarao teraud integrity in tho oountryla always hold iu a respect and esteem such aa he oould not expect to win iu a largo oity after a residence of many yeara aud a baud-tohand strugglo with fortune which is auro to exhaust him far moro thau all tho labor of farming would do in a lifetime He is at home at onoo in tho couutry, while it is doubtful if ho is ever really at home, or enjoy a r.nl homo, in the ceasolca toil and trials which a city existence unrelent ingly outaila. .u.i.

We mast acknowledge that their monstrous vanity is excusable when wo know that their gold, thsir armies, and their councils have success fully directed the efforts of combined Europe against tho man whoso UlenU menaced their existence. Ho was the object of tholr admiration and dread, and thoy have in him subverted tho glory, the existence of Franco as a na tion. They do not in England protend to rovilo Napoleon, as some persons in America havo douo. His stupendous abilities are admitted hu misfortunes almost respected by his enomies. I listeo silently to any discussion in which ho bears a pari. I easily perceive that bo has more justice dono him hero than with us. Adieu, dear air. Yours affectionately, E. B. m i Underground Telegraphy. We recently referred in this colnmn to tho progress of underground teleg raphy in Germany. A Philadelphia invontor U to lay a line of underground telegraph from Washington to Now York. A decarbonized steel wire is in serted in a glass tube fourteen feet long, three-eighth of an inch in external diameter and one-eighth of au inch bore. Then the glass tube U inserted into a specially prepared pipe of iron, which t placed in a heating furnace, heated to a white heat, aad gassed threajh a set ef xelR sa&isg aeJM mass ot nine, class and coating. It is claimed that the wire being perfectly insulatod from end to end, and pro tected from all outside influence by its class coat, it is capaulo of working lo a higher capacity and with less resistance thau any ottier Known system, io con nect the wires a trench is dug ot any depth desired, and a battery attached to mo lira i piece oi pipe jaiuiu iuu ireucu.

Owners of ships (especially when they are mere landsmen) are as unwise to interfere with the sailtng-crdors of their skilled seamen as the President would be to interfere with the command of one of hi generals ou a battle-field. Howovor, it is not every officer placed iu such embarrassment who know how to put the case so skilfully as did tho captain oi ine steamer uctnwonireuua, as told by tho Now York correspondent of tho Boston Journal: I was on board a Bound steamboat in a snow storm one night beforo Thanksgiving. The president of tho company, tlio treasurer, and two direct ors were on board. All at once thoro was a rattling ot the chains, and it was evidont tho anchor was down. The of- tloisla rushed up to the capUin'a oftioo nud oxclaimetl, ' What does thU mean, CapL Wil liams?" " It means that I have anchored tho boat." But to-morrow is Thanksgiving. Wo must got homo anyhow. Tho old Commonvtilth ha weathered worse galea this," Tho Captain sat down at tho table and wrote a positive ordor from tho presi dent, treasurer aud directors, to raiso the anchor and proceed against his own judgment. "Sign that order, gentlemen, and I will proceed." Qf oouroo not ono ot them would sign it. ' That's the way it i," said Williams. " Not a man of vou would Uko tho re sponsibility. You want me to violate my own judgment, and it anything happened, you will turnou me aud sty, ' You aro a sailor aud we are not " Aud the old boat did not budge until morning. Youth' Companion.

Feat fake tho ptaco of wood, and in every ioor nan's hut in Shetland it will be fonnd burning brightly and giving out a thin blue smoke. To pro pare peat for tho market, a great deal of labor is performed. First coma tho digger men, women and children., Entering upon tho deep, miry bog, they cnt tho soil np into cakes a foot long and a fow incht thick and these they place in high place to dry. After a few weeks they come again and carry tbo cared fnel away to the town. It is whilo carrying these load that tbo BhetUnder present a peculiar specU do. The men are often very old, in firm and poorly clothed ; nd the worn on are dressed in short-skirted, home spun gowns, beyond which may be seen yory red and very broad feet. On their heads they nsnally havo white caps, nicely ironed, with a Anted rnftle around the edgo. Parsing acroea tho breast aud over either sbonldcr aro two long straps, and theso support an im mense basket banging against the back. Thus equipped, the brave stout women. tbeir u&skct piled witu peat, tramp oil to Lerwick, two mile away, to sell their loads lor a few pennies each. Tbey make many trips a day, always smiling, chatting, and apparently contented. Often a loner line mar be seen stepping along over the rough roads, stopping now and tnen to rest. Jiuc mere is something a peat woman of Hhetlaud is continually doing tbat wo have not yet noticed. All have no doubt beard of HbctUnd hosiery; of the fine warm shawls snd hood and delicate veils that come frcm these fur northern islands. Now, all tho while, tbo poor, bare legged woman is carrying her heavy burden of peat, ber hands are never idle. She i knitting, knitting away aa fast as ber nimble fingers will allow. In her pocket is tho ball of yarn, and aa her needles fly back and forth she weavea fabrics of such fineness that tho royal lathes ot England wear them ; and no traveler vitiU tho island with out loading his trunks with shawls, mittens, stockings and other feminine fancies. Not to know how to knit in Shetland is like not knowing how to read at home. A little girl is taught tlio art before ahe can read ; and, a a result, at every cotUge will be found the spinning wheel and tbo needles, while tbo feminine hand are never idle. It is o ne great means of support ; and on Regent street in London will be seen windows full of soft, whilo gnosis marked "Shetland hosiery." Who first instructed these far northern pronle in this delicateart is not knuwa. On Fair Isle, ono of the Shetlaad group, the art i first said to have been dis covered, verx 5?? yer jjo. , On rmh hhkkj jbtp, iiw mm, mj wom an, girl and. child knits whilo working at any of her various duties. The yarn with which the Shetland goods is made is spun from tho wool of the sheep we see roaming about tho fields. Iu al most every cottage may bo seen the vcriUble old-fashioned wheel ; and the busy girl at the treadle sends tho great wheel Hying, and spins out the long skeins, which serve to mako baby a pretty hood or grandma a warm shawl. SrxucsE FvoxnxQ ILcses. A trav eler in Siarn describes the floating house ; Wo bugged the shoro closely and passed within a few yards ot float ing houses, whose owners looked at us with the calm nonchalance of tho Ori ent. Ferhapsyou may not understand a floating house; it is built on a raft of bamboo poles aud securely moored to strong posUin the mud or ou the bank. It is a perfect house, rooms, roof and all, and iU floor is about twelve inches above the water. There are thousands of these houses in Bangkok, and they are not to bo despised, as they have a never failing supply of water, are ex cellently drained, and very easy of ao ccsa. One of their drawbacks is tho facil ity with which the numerous water snakes of the Meinam gain an entrance; the Siamese never have snake in their booU, for the reason tbat they don't wear any, but they frequently find then in their bed or about their apartments. The floating houses had their origin at a timo when the land bordering tho river was very unhealthy, and the king gave tbo order to build upon the river itself aud not along iU banks. The hollow joints ot the bamboo specially adapt it to the construction of raits, and it is said that this tree first gave tho Chinese the idoa ot building boaU in compartments.

He appealed to tho bouso ot lords and they sustain his deoisiou, al though expressing great sympathy for thia and many other unfortunate and benevolent trustees whoso cases this one decides. Wo believo iu tho justice and necessity of a law holding trustees of other people's property strictly ao rnntn)I for an honest and urudent management of the estate, but suoh a law as thia is inequiUble aud cruel. It will, of course, have tho effect to largely increase tho asseU ot the do funut bsuk, but it oau havo no other ef fect thau to deter evory well-informed and capable man iu Greut Uritaiu from ever again becoming a trustee ot bank shares, and women aud children will bo left without the protective guardian ship ot benevolent aud responsible cenuemon.
