WIT AMD HUMOR. An Extraordinary Genius. A tall, slab-sided specimen of a Jer seyman, who hailed from some benight ed region of the sandy State, came to the city on Friday, (says the Philadel phia Sunday Dispatch,) and by perse reringly going around tasting specimens, he managed to get himself pretty well spirit-logged. Jersey, finally got under such a head of steam that he collapsed, and fetched up ingloriously, shortly af ter night, upon a cellar door. After re posing upon his ligneous bed for a brief season, and giving occasion for much speculation among the boys, who are usually on hand upon such occasions, a “star” passed along that way and car ried the proslrato votary of bad whis key oft' to the station-house. The next morning Jersey had become sufficiently sobered to have a hearing, and he was taken before an alderman, who enjoys a reputation for official dignity, magiste rial importance, pomposity, and highfa lutincss generally. The prisoner was as taciturn as his judge was wordy; an amusing dialogue took place between the parlies. After the officer had got through with his ev idence, in which the fact of drunkenness was very clearly set forth, the alderman commenced— “ Ahem! Well, sir, and so you have been getting intoxicated, sir, and forget ting the decencies of lifo, and your so cial obligations I Have you no appreci ation of the social obligations of good citizens ?” “ Nary ’predation ! ” responded the defendant, sententiously. “If you have no respect for your obli gations to society, sir, have you no knowl edge of the requirements of the law ? ” “Nary knowledge!” responded Jersey, stolidly, “Don’t you know, sir, that there is a ’straining law in Pennsylvania ? Do you never see a newspaper in your part of the world, sir?” “Nary newspaper!” “ Well, ignorance of law cxcuscth no man,” continued the magistrate, becom ing somowhat riled at the manner of the offender. “Have you ever made that discovery ? ” “Nary discovery!” replied Jersey, in the usual tone. The squire was getting his back up. “Do you know anything but your eternal “nary,”^ir?” “Nary anything!" quietly replied the man of few words. “Jlttve you money to pay your fine ?” thundered the alderman. “Nary red!” responded Jersey. “Take him below!” growled the man of law; “the fellow has neither motley nor wit.” “Nary !” was the remark, as tlio offi cer started to escort his charge Moya niensing-ward. The last we hoard of the genius was a reply he made to the knight of the billy. “Look a-here, stranger,” said the lat ter, “as a general thing, do you confine your remarks to one word ? Don’t you know anything but nary?” “Nary ! ” Thr Literary Language of Flow ers.—Somebody lias published a book under the quaint title of “ An Hour with the Hollyhock.” We confess we have not much curiosity to read the work, for we cannot see how sixty minutes, spent in the company of a rather vulgar-look ing plant, can afford matter of either an amusing or instructive character. We would much rather have “Five Minutes with a Pineapple, or a Moment with a Peach, or a Quarter of an Hour with a few Apricots." The language of flowers is all very well; but we do not believe tho biggest hollyhock or the downiest of daffodils can have anything to say for it self that would justify any reasonable bc ing in giving up even half an hour to its society.— Punch. A wee bit of Girlish Superstition. —ls Miss Julia Jones marries Harry Hopkins, they say that tho marriage will be lucky, because she changes her initials, but if she marries James Jenkins, ’twont do—for “ If you change your name and not your letter, You’ll change for a worse and not for n better.” This little superstition is peculiarly fem inine. Ladies, generally speaking, are about ninety-nine times more prone to superstition than the sterner sex. The reason of this is, that they are, more susceptible to the mysterious and beauti ful, with its influences, or to the sublimo, and have far more veneration and refine ment, not to mention and ribbons, and flounces, anj feathers, and grace, and 4kjtity —and-so-forth !

The design of “THE REPUBLICAN COURT ” is, to give an interesting and faithful view of the private ilUd social life of this country in the days of Washing ton. Referring as hr icily as possible to political affairs, it introduces the great characters of that illustrious age in t heir personal connections—in the parlor, the ball-room, the theatre—in anec dote, descriptions, and details of every-day expe rience. It embraces particular narratives of Pie sident Washington’s celebrated tour through the Eastern States, with all its festivities, parados, Ac., and of the subsequent tour through the Southern States, with the imposing and enthusi astic receptions in Charleston, Augusta, Ac. The author says, “ It seemed to me that the volume would be, upon the whole, far more acceptable if, iu its preparation, I con lined myself, in even the most trivial tales of narrative, delineation, and suggestion, to what was clearly warranted by unquestionable authorities. And of such au thorities, fortunately, I have had an ample collec tion. Besides those which uVc printed and acces sible to every student of American history, I have had in my possession mote than two thousand unpublished private letters, of which some three hundred were hr Washington, and great numbers by Mrs. Ada na, Mrs. Jay, Mrs. Cushing, Mr<. Pinckney, the families of Wolcott, McKean, Liv ingston, Boudinot, Willing, and others .who par ticipated in the life I lrivo attempted to describe.” Subscriber’s names received at the Book Store, where a specimen copy can be seen BENJAMIN G.
