Instinct of Turtles.
Andubon, the naturalist, states that at certain places on the coast of Florida sea turtles, those huge, stolid looking reptiles on which Aldermen are fed at the expense of tax-payers, possess an extraordinary faculty of finding places. Working their way up out of the reach of tido-water with their flippers, quite a deep hole is excavated. In which a batch of eggs are deposited, and then carefully covered up. On reaching the water they not unfrequently swim three hundred miles out at sea foraging for appropriate food. When another batch of eggs are developed, after a lapse of about fourteen days, they will return unerringly in a direct line, even in the darkest night, and visit the buried eggs. Removing the sand, more are deposited and secured. Away they go again as before. They know instinctively the day and hour when the young brood, incubated by solar rays, will break the shell, and are promptly at the sot to liberate them from their prison. As soon as fairly out of the hole, the mother turtle leads them down the bank to the waves, and there ends her parental solicitude and maternal duties.

A newly-fledged Philadelphia doctor recently settled in Havana, Ill., and the first case he had was a boy, who while he was sheing popcorn got a kernel in his wind-pipe. The doctor examined the case carefully, looked at the patient's tongue and then told the rather of the boy to build up a hot fire. When that was done, the doctor told them to take the boy and hold him over the fire until the kernel got hot enough to "pop out." The old man went cured.

A newly-fledged Philadelphia doctor recently settled in Havana, Ill., and the first case he had was a boy, who while he was shearing popcorn got a kernel in his wind-pipe. The doctor examined the case carefully, looked at the patient's tongue and then told the father of the boy to build up a hot fire. When that was done, the doctor told them to take the boy and hold him over the fire until the kernel got hot enough to 'pop out.' The old man went up stairs and got his shot-gun, but while he was loading it the doctor escaped.
ETERNAL LAMPS. — St. Augustine described a lamp, placed by the seashore, which neither wind nor rain extinguished. In the sepulchre of Tullia, the daughter of Cicero, was found a lamp, supposed by Pancirrollus and others to have burned above 1530 years. Now, the flames in such cases are thought to have been caused by the inflammable air so frequently generated in pits and caverns, which is confirmed by a discovery in 1753, on the opening of an ancient sepulchre at Naples.
An ingenious and philanthropic chemist, in Georgia, has invented a distilling apparatus compact enough to be kept on one's bedroom mantel piece, and capable of producing some twenty-five bottles of whisky per diem. He is said to be already overwhelmed with orders from Maine and Massachusetts.

FOR THE COMPLEXION.—A wash used by the Spanish ladies is as follows: Infuse wheat bran, well sifted, for four hours in white wine vinegar; add five yolks of egg, and two grains of ambergris and keep the bottle carefully cooled for twelve or fifteen days. A wash which is a favorite with French ladies is composed of equal parts of the seeds of melons, and cucumbers and pounded until they are reduced to power; add sufficient fresh cream to dilute the powder; add milk onough to reduce the whole to a thin paste; add perfume and a few drops of lemon. Annoint the face and leave it on twenty or thirty minutes, or all night; if convenient, wash off with warm water. The Russian ladies use the following: Diffuse a handful of well-sifted wheat bran, add to it five yolks of egg and two grains of musk, and distil the whole. Bottle, and keep carefully fifteen days. Apply at night, and wash in the morning with tepid water.
A KNOTTY POINT.—A question of law for a decating society: A young student received lessons in law, it being agreed that a certain fee should be paid if the pupil were successful in the first cause he pleaded. The pupil however, neglected to unpertake any cause, and the master, in order to obtain any fee, was compelled to see him. The
Picture Writing.
The callions of Southern Utah abounds in Aztec picture writing. For nearly three miles, in one of them, rudely outlined pictures extend, representing human beings little, big, of all shapes, and with brief costumes. There are animals, reptiles, and queer devices, cheerfully mixed, painted with black and red ochres. In all the history of Indian nations, it is said, there is no more interesting account than that relating to the sad story of this peaceful but much prosecuted race.
Lower California assessed a tax of 25 cents per head on all cattle passing out of the Territory. This tax was lately abolished by the Supreme Government of Mexico, but it is still levied by the Municipal authorities of Lower California, and was exacted from Mannasse & Shilller for all the cattle recently driven by them.

A Knotty Point.—A question of law for a debating society: A young student received lessons in law, it being agreed that a certain fee should be paid if the pupil were successful in the first cause he pleaded. The pupil however, neglected to untortake any cause, and the master, in order to obtain any fee, was compelled to sue him. The master argued thus: "If I be successful in the cause, the pupil will be compelled to pay by virtue of the sentence, and should I be even unsuccessful, he will have to pay me in fulfilment of the original contract." To this the pupil replied: "If I be successful, I shall be free and even if I be unsuccessful, I shall be free by virtue of the contract." Which is the right view of the case, say, ye debating society?
A few days since one of our popular attorneys called upon another member of the profession, and asked his opinion upon a certain point in law. The lawyer to whom the question was addressed, drew himself up and aid, "I generally get paid for telling what I know." The questioner drew a half a dollar fractional from his pocket, handed it to the other, and coolly remarked it the other, and coolly remarked. "Tell me all you know and give me the change." There is a coldness between the parties now.
A novel case was tried in New York recently. It involved the right to mortgage a cemetery plot, and the presiding judge held that such a transaction could not be held legal, for the reason that when cemetery property has once been occupied by graves it ceases to be regarded as a portion of the assets by the owner.
Andy Johnson paid the income tax on his salary, and left Washington City without a complaint at the assessments. Grant refused to allow his salary to be taxed, and appealed to the Supreme Court for relief. His appeal was allowed, and he now pays no tax upon his hundred thousand dollar salary.
An actual peroration of an Alabama lawyer's plea in a recent assault and battery case was as follows: "Let the harmless ass crop the thistle of the valley! Let the sagacious goat browse upon the mountain's brow, but men of the jury, I say that John Gundle is not guilty."

A slander, which needs only to be stated to be refuted: A bachelor says that if you hand a lady a newspaper with a scrap cut out of it, not a line of it will she read, but every bit of interest the paper possesses is centered in finding out what the missing scrap contained.
It is stated that the reason we pass to the right on the street is because the heart is on the left side; that the left side must be especially defended; and the warlike men of old, whose precedent we follow, presented the side of defense to the passing enemy.
