Leckinski, when taken back to the prison, hailed it with joy; for twelve hours he had nothing but gibbets and death, in its horrid form, before his eyes, exhibited to him by men with the looks and pasions of demons. He slept, however, after the harassing excitement of the day, and soundly, too ; when, in the midst of his deep and death-like slumbers, the door opened gently, some one drew near the couch, and the voice whiskered in his car "Arise 8tl 0'i.'- )lh Hie.

Too Much IJisk. Wti-liiiiEtnii Spetnil lo Aew eirtcans linie.'. An extraordinary condition of thinge came to light on the last day of congress, and it illustrates the carelessness that sometimes prevails in high pltces. It appears that the First national bank o New York had on hand United States bonds to the amount of thirty million dollars viithout the government having the slightest sicurity for them. So that in case of loss there would be absolutely no recourse. If, for example, the genial cashier of that institution, in a moment of forgetfulness, were to tak? a million o' these bonds and pledge them for a nine' ty-day loan, and get out of the country with the money, what could the govern ment do? Nothing could be done, ana the government and the institution making the loan would have to fight it out among themselves. There is a feel ing, that this state of insecurity ought not to continue, aud a resolution will be offered by a proaiinent southern congress man calling for all the in format on at tainable upon this point in order that the practice of the government may be fully understood. No barm has been done yet, bat there might be, and it is to prev. nt its po?sibi;ity that the resolution referred to will be offered. J-dectric Illumination. Mr. W. H.

The recent tucc"" ion ot wii'd win'ers have givtn ii-e to the iinp-'iiy. in the North America c'.:a.ai unoer.eiing a change? The old ro iiteM isj.pt to t e eropliatic in tu" it-t rti .n that it is, Mid that the eh.inge ha produced milder winters. Wlrether tH is true or not is an open question. The oh! resident U likely to find h s ret. 1! ctioti nurrc- vivid r'.s to ih.-1 seasons of ex t rem' temperature. The mild staious may t '.iFS out of ni memory r1Uogit;r. Certain facts ure uot to be or 'purr d. One is tint winters vary in the decree of the intensity et their cold; that, is to say, one winter will exceed another in inUrr.-ity. Another is that o r two or throe yea-s pi"t the averase ternperaMtre for the cold t-eason hats be en b'gher than those which imme diately preceded them. But whether there is a p-.rrjeane-nt change, which is the result of the operation of natural forces is a que '.ion which is we'd worth d::s cussiun snd inve-tiuaiioii. The climate of a country largely depends u;on iu configuration. It has clearly been dem onstrated l'j Humboldt that the physical format :on of i he surface of the country contributes to make the temperature And it is for this reason that wo find such a discrepancy in the climates of the same latitude. For instance, we occupy the same latitude with Spain, yet the difference is a marked a- bctwee u Florida and New York. Scotland, Irelar.d and Labrador are in the same latitude, but their climates differ materially. The physical formation has to do with this and, as well, the Gulf stream. Labrador is to a eertain extent a plain, rarely broken wiUi lakes or large bodies ol water. The surfaces of Scotland and Ireland are diversified with mountains and valleys, iu the latter of which lie many lakes. Thus we can understand why the climate of Labrador h stern and and cold. But there is a difference be tween Scotland and Ireland and here we find the influence exerted by the Gulf stream. This curious phenomenon of the Atlantic Ocean which does not touch the shores of Labrador, skirts one corner of Scotland and sweeps along a large por tion ol the shores of Ireland. Therefo'e there is found a climate fsmiewhat more genial in Ireland than in Scotland. Aside, then, from the influence of the warmth the Gulf stream brings to the climate, the elevation of mountains with their slopts to the seas or to the lower points of the valleys, and the lakes lying therein, have t do with the conditions aud degreeaof the climate. But in North America this condition of top irraphy 'v-is thes.s'ire tifty years : i o. If there U a change iu our climate it -id ue t i cans i which hs.ve not bt mi t act red U!o: a- vet. lie.

He states that this stecies, wbtn on tie wing, present! a very singular apptarance. Like others of the fi.mily it moves from place to place with a ripidity which may fie com pared to that of tl e syrphus among flies, and the sphinx among moth-; but, while hovering over a flower, it flaps its wings with a very slow and powerful move ment, totally ditiereLt from that vibra tory motion common to most of the Fptctes, and whhh products the bum ming no se. Mr. Darwin bed never seen any other bird the force of whose wings appean d (as in a butterfly) so rower'ul in proportion to the weight of its body. When hovering by a fl wer, its tail was constantly being expanded and .-hut like a fsn, the body being kept in a nearly vertical position. This action appeared to steady aud support the bird between the slow movements of its wings. Although it flew from flower to flower in search of food, its stomach contained abundant remains or injects, which Mr. Darwin believed to be much more the objects of its Fearch than honey. Its note, like that ol nearly the whole fam-. ily, was extremely shrill. Crockett in a BearN Den. New York Mercnry. " I never but once," sa:d CjI. Crockett, 'was in what I call a genuine quandary.
