rnilK following scheme is the result of a
■ meeting of the Charlotte llemvolent Me-chanical
Society, for the purpose of devising
ways and means to exchange the labor already
expended in manufacturing, for anotlu r stock
ol mat! rials, that tiny ma) continue cheerfully
in tin exercise of their occupation, bv wbicii
alone they have been instructed to make a sub.
sistence. The great want of vent for the labor
ol the ven limited manufactories of tin west,
crn part ol North-Carolina, is severely felt bv
those who have been taught to rely on their
profession alone for the support of their fami-lies;
and such indigence will doubtless keep
every branch of mechanism that labors under it,
in an awkward and cramped condition, that must
retard that energetic spirit, without which it is
impossible for the art to flourish'. \
The society lei Is sanguine in the hope, that
gentleman who are not in the habit of embark-ing
in lottery schemes generally, uill be iuflii-.
diced by charitable motives to encourage mech-anism
at their doors, and then by have nn op-portunity
of profiting themselves *5UU for
ti in advance, and affording their countenance
for the encouragement of the best interest ol
tli- western part of the state. And fur the si -
enrity of those who may embark in this scheme,
tin society propose appointing several disinter-c
sled pi rsous to value the work, and see that ;t
shall not lie imposed. on the people at exor-bitant
prices, The society has succeeded in j his great grand dam by old Fearnought, with a

ANECDOTE OF TWO ELEPHANTS.
Not long since two elephants were
taken from the menagerie of the prince
of Orange, at the house in the Woods,
near the Ffague. The morning after
their arrival in Paris these animals were
|iu"t in possession of then new habita-tion.
The liisl who entered was the
male, (Hans,) who seemed to enter with
a degree of suspicion, alter having is-sued
with precaution from his cage.
Ilis liisl care was to survey the place.
Me examined every bar with his trunk,
and tried their solidity. The large
screws by which they are held togeth-er,
were placed on the outside ; these
he sough! tor, and having found them,
tried tn turn them, but was not able.
When he came to the partition, or gate
i in the original. In the Eng- \v|,i('!l divides 'he he., apartments.ho

the two seas met;" the which rose perpendicularly. He raised
esiolopon dijhallasson," H w,tn his trunk, pushed up the door,
Ih sides- by tin-. '"' entered into Ihn second apartment,
where he took his breakfast quietly,
and appeared to be perfectly easv.
In the mean time Hie female (Peggy)
was conducted into the-first lodge. The
, mutual attachment of these animals was
; recollected, ami likewise the difficulty
I with which they were parted, ami iu-itluceil
to travel separately. From the

vicinity of I'.oston.
MALTA, MAV 84, 1884.
Mi/ Dear Christian Brother;—You
will, perhaps, think- it strange that 1
should reside more than two entire
years in the island, without visiting
once, during the period, the spot where
it is supposed the Apostle to the Gen-tiles
wasshipwrckecd. A fewdaysago,
for the first time, I visited whal is here
called "St. Paur's Hay," distant from
Valctta, the principal city in the island,
about six miles. In reading the account
of the Apostle's shipwreck, as il is re-corded
in the Arts of the Apostles, 1
have always encountered difficulties
which 1 could never overcome. The
difficulty of understanding ibis account,
is much greater in our English transla-original.
Iis.li wt
place where the tjvo seas met;" tin
original is,'
a place waslictl on iiutii snies in Hie
sea. On the N. IV. side of St. Paul's
May, there is a tongue of land'extrcmc-ly
rocky, that extends hall'a mile per-haps
or more into the sea, in a direction
from S. \V. to N. 11 .This of course,
is washed on both sidc.8, as often as the
wind blows from the K. or N. 10.
which was anciently called Kuroclydon,
but at present Gregale. The sea, I l'n,c ?' 'ho,r «!»■««» from the Hague

YANKEE INGENUITY.
A7« find ingenious Workmanship.
We have seen sonic specimens of tin*
commonly nice an I ingenious workman-ship
and mechanical skill, made by Mr.
Nathaniel Perkins of this town. They
consist of a pair of scissors complete in
all their part-, a'fnl of perfect construc-tion
and finish, precisely om; inch in
length ; ami what is still mure curious,
another pair ol scissors eipially complete
andofe'pial finish with the first, but
rmly three tenths of an inch in length.
These hist have a steel lag and an ivory
bodkin nl the same I'Migth, with them
tn match. The whole sol being, when
shown tu us, contained in a nocdlehook
of appropriate iliuifnsin'is, funned one
ot'the most beautiful collectionsofmin-iilure
workmanship imaginable. We
recollect of seeing a card of Rogers, the
Sheffield manufacturer, whose, pen-knives
and other fnv cut lery are so cele-brated,
in which I.ii-t.i .in is made of a
pairof scissors of his own manufacture,
weighing only half a grain, iis a great
curiosity. The scissors made by Mr.
Perkins are a still greater curiositv, as
they weigh It ss than half a grain. Mr.
Perkins appeal - In h ive n large share of
the mechanical talent of his family ; and
is highly in •■ rving of encouragement.
