That all flesh is grass-fcmac flesh at least
the present age attests. Ever since Eve made
upmilinery with fig leaves, her daughters have
been subject to the sway of the evcr-varying fan
ces Of drcss.nakcrs Those fair tyrants now
fence the dear creatures around SO that we can't
come within hail-making them spread as wide
clue as the main-sail Of man-ol-war. Why,
sir, we can't tell what's what "a murran on the

And yet the quiet folds of these days are per-
haps preferable to the bustling intensity of the by

fore sitting can be achieved, the hands must meet
behind and be suddenly separated, rilting asunder
the voluminous folds. Subsidence is followed by

A MAMMOTH TUsK.-A letter from one Of the
propretors of the Blue Lick Springs to MIR. Stan
ley, of Maysvillc, Kentucky, states that in exca-
vatng the grounds around the springs, with the
view Of Improvement, an enormous tusk, Of some
animal now extinct, was discovered. The tusk
measured feet25 inches in length, and inches
IN circumference at the large end. The letter
farther mentions that the tusk had evidently been
broken, and must originally have been much
longer. Two grinders were also found imbedded
with the tusk, one S and the other inches IN
breadth. The teeth had dccaycd as far as the
enamel, and their length, in consequence, was but
little greater than their breadth. The tusk weighed
"a pounds, and the large grinder 81 pounds.
