In many cases the animals of northern origin, which are the most numerous, cm be distinguished from the southern, but in other cases we cannot distinguish them, since on the one hand, animals which natur- alists place in the same family on account of resemblances in structure may Vt ry pos~ siLly have had a distinct ancestry. and. on the other hand, the northern forms, which evidently predominate, have not (my varied greatly in course of ages but have penetrat- ed far toward the southern extremities of the continents.

A singular case was tried before Mr. Bir- on Pollock and a special jury at Oxford, Eng, on July 5th, arising from the action of two ladies, who had been shopping in town, endeavoring to secure the whole of arailway compartment by spreading their purchases over the seats, so that it might appear that all were occupied. The guard having di- rected Capt. Preston and his wife, who were going by the same train. to take their seats in the compartment, the captain removed some of the parcels to obtain room for him- self and lady. This was done, according to the evidence of an independent witness, ina. perfectly coolmanner; but the owner object- ed, especially to the removal of a large miliner’s cardboard box, and there appears to have been some force used, as the defend- ant stated that her hand was cut by the string in her endeavor to prevent the re- mov 8.1 by Capt. Preston. , Leaving the car- riage st Resdin , the lady said she had been grossly insultetf, and subsequently her hus- band wrote to the captain demanding an ap- ology. This was very naturally refused, when a blow was inflicted on the plaintiff, but in the struggle which ensued the de- fendant's finger was broken. The action was for slander, libel, and assault. The judge held the wcrds uttered by Mrs. de VVindt were not slanderous, and that there was no publication of a libel in the letter Bk nt to the plaintifl" but the assault was re- garded as provod, and the jury gave 3 Ver' diet for Capt l’reston, the plaintiff, award- ll g damages of £50. The fact that a rail- Way passenger has only a legal right to the particular sect occupied, appears not to be recognized by many persons. Mrs. de Windt had not the slightest legal right to occupy the seats with her luggage, to the inconveniemc of other passengers, nor to prevent their removal of it, if it annoyed them or occupied the space they desired to use. Luggage may be tolerated on the seats but it is only there on sufi‘erance. Never- theless, there are persons who im- man agine that if they ur’é’ first occupants of ‘ a carriage, the can ‘ their boxes, &c., where they please. "Ibis a not uncommon practice for a. lady to secure one corner seat for herself and to place a. favorite box in the opposite one, thus monopolising two of the best and most comfortable places, and in- stances are not unknown 05 their regarding themselves as discourteously treatrd if their property is removed, and the seat cc- cupied by a. passenger. Of course there is neither legal nor moral defence of such sel» fish actions, and, as is instanced by the case under notice, the appeal to a husband to avenge the supposed wrong may end in his not even getting the better of the encounter, and having to pay a heavy sum in damages and costs. tionzng us about our wandrrings. . . . It was quite dark before the table was spread for our meal, and when served it was more curlous than sumptuous; the water, in which a kid had b‘Cll boiled with 5| me rice in it, led the way as soup, and we; followed by pickled cuttle fish, very hard and unpalatable, but a prized luxury in these islands, especially during Lent, so much so that it would pay the enterprise of pickling the many thour ands we throw away in disgust to send out hire. Then came the kid, a deliciously tender little thing, one of a litter of six, our host informed us. After the kid came the misethra, a standard dish in the Grecian Islands, made of curdled milk. I have tasted exactly the same in Cots ca, under the name of braccio, and I always revel in it. There was a. Turkish dish of rice and sour milk, called pilalf and yaourte, and which I had considerable ditfi- cnlty in getting rid of ; figs and almonds brought the repast to a close. The wine was rich and excessively sweet, such as, I resume, once was the nectar of the gods. he table was laid for four, ourselves, our host and his brother. Mrs. Sunday and her family waited upon us; occasionally she sat down respectlully in a corner, with 9. bone which she gnewei : but when all was cleared away, and the men began to no fire, she drew her chair up to the table, took oc- casional sips out of her husband’s glass. and became talkative. Now all restraint was at an end, and quest'ons about England and the far west occupied more time than I cared to devote to them. Every Greek adores the name of Mr. Gladstone, and I went up con- siderably in our host’s estimation when I told him I had been at Oxford. “Then you are a. schoolfellow of Mr. Gladstone's '3" To this novel way of looking at the question I deemed it wise to assent. an ancient-Greek who wished to propitiatc Zaus.
