Ii | is usually, though not always, in stormy | or unsettled weather, The first curious fact about these | birds is that they never appear to be | tired out, whereas birds are often meat with near the land with their strength quite exhausted. A curious fact about them is their preternatural tameness where their is no eat or dog on board, and the crew show no disposition to molest them, as exhibited by their apparently seeking ratner than avoid- ing the presence of man. Another curious fact about them is the recovery of all their native wildness and instinctive avoidance of man’s pre- sence on approaching the land. The first time 1 noticed this fact was with a pair of olive-colored rin g-dove,which, from their remarkable tameness and familiarity, I was led to believe had been bred in a domestic state, and per- haps on ship-board. I kept them in the skylight in the cabin, where they seemed to be quite contented; but on approaching the land they became the wildest of the wild. One of them es- caped and flew away. I succeeded in taking the other into port, where I gave it its liberty. Now, 1 am certain that these birds could not be apprised of the approach to the land through the medium of any of their ordinary senses. This curious circumstance led me to} notice more particularly the conduct of others varities of these little wan- derers upon the ocean so far from their native habitat, and I findthat they nearly all exhibit to a greater or less extent the same curious characteristics. —Geo.

You see there's not much demand for intelligence in society.” **Does he dance?” “Of course.” “Knowing what’s going on io theat- ricals, music, &e?” ‘Of course.” ‘‘Au fait in everything 1 persume?”’ “Well, I don’t know whether he owes Fay or not, but | know he owes about every manofmy acquaintance.
