Our of tuoso bram splitting conun? drums that no ono can lind out is the following: What relation is a lonffof bread to a locomotive? You'll never gucsd it. Bread is u necessity, a loco? motive is an invention. Now, as ne? cessity is the mother of invention, the maternal rotation of a loaf to a loco? motive will be seen at once. A Paris medical student has just died insane, haying become bo in con sequenoeof an event tbat happened in the dissecting room. His subject had been plaoed in a sitting posture while frozen, and its right arm wan kept above its bead against gravity by tbo ioy condition of the tissues, and as be worked, lost in his labor, this arm came down and the cold baud struck the student on the cheek. It was clear upon investigation that the hot ?re I made for the student had thawed the tissues, but the impression made upon ) his mind was too deep lo be removed by a rational explanation. Tho statue of Stonewall Jackson, I executed by tho late Mr. Fwley, the \ well known Euglish sculptor, for the eily of Charleston, S C, is now ueariy completed at the Mduor foundry, at Chelsea, near L indou. The General is represented as standing with 11 drawn broadsword ju the right hand. Tho bund rests on the sword-hilt, und the point of the weapon i-, placed on a piece of rock at flie side of tho figure. He wears u horsemau's short tunic, girt by u broad belt, and but? toned close du the idlest, und louse trousers, with riding boots. One of the features of the Camden races was Wash Benny, formerly the body servant of Col. Aucrum, but now a restunratiiur iu Curoden. He had a horse whioh he persisted in runmug every time, from a mile down to a quarter. He won snd lost about an even uumber of times, exhibiting the greatest stoicism wheu fortune was I unpropitious, saying he was only run : ning for the amusement of the Indies, laud that the money iu the coautry be? longed to the white folks anyhow. I James Strong, a well known citizen of Burlington, New Jersey, was in stuntly killed on the 231, while wnlk i iug on the Camdeu and Amboy Riil I road truck, near Pish Rouse station.

Ho was u farmer on j a largH scale, residing near Palmyra, | Virginia, aud formerly a Justice of the; Peucu. Ames' defence of the Vicksbnrgi uegrois throws nil the blame on tbej white tax-payers, of course. But bis j own testimony proves that the negroes maichud ou Vicksbnrg with arms in their bauds. Aud yet Ames wau?s Federal interference to prevent further! anarchy aud bloodshed. Would he forco the negroes tu another tight, iu order lo invite this interference? Doctor Knill.-id writes of Andrew Johusou: Up aud down the line, among friends and enemies alike, it is understood that this is the old man's lust fight. If be wins the term of six years, be will hardly ever waut otliee again, und i( he fails, he can never get it again. So all are coming up to the scratch with long linger nails and blood shot eyes, aud wool will fly. The salutatory of tho new Athens paper, the Keies, says: "It is our in? tention to steer eutirely independent of uny sect, party or click." Jf this includes the "click" of revolvers and dint-lock muskets, the determination is prudential aud Well taken. The Lord Chamberlain prohibits any indecorous theatrical performance-, aud warns the mauugers of the Lou don theatres against allowing indecent dances to be performed, or allowing actresses to wear iudecent clothes. It was reported in Augusta, recently, that a little girl who had been bitten by a dog, several mouths ago, was af? fected with hydrophobia; but, npon examination, it was found that she had St. Vitus' dance.
