LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. SATURDAY MORNING June 16, 1566 SCISSORS. —lt ia stated that pickpockets re lieved General Grant of his watch, and Speaker Colfax of his purse at General Scott’s funeral. —There is something exquisite in l our countryman’s reply to the European | traveller, when he asked him whether ;he had just crossed the Alps. “Wal, I now you call my attention to the fact, I ! guess I did pass risin’ ground.” ' —A serious proposition has been made to Head Centre Stephens, to unite with Santa Anna, for the purpose |of founding an Irish Republic in Mex ico. The Canada corollaries are lo be solved before the original proposition is demonstrated. —A gigantic cotton factory, called the ‘‘Manassas” manufactory, has been built at Carrollton, Miss. It contains 180,000 spindles, 1,800 looms, and goes into operation July Ist. The stock now stands 15 per cent, above par. —One Johu M. Dugnal publishes a volume of blank verse with the pretty title of “Daisy Swan,” which for origi nality and delicacy of diction beats Walter Whitman hollow. Athol, the hero, heroically declares— “ We’ll yet lower the pride of That pusillanimous puke !" A style of verse which the Albany Argus calls “the true epic, or rather epic-ac /” —“Rould aisy, Mike,” said one of two Irish pedestrians, as he approached a milestone. “Thread lightly,” said he, “for here lies an ould man.” Pat care fully spelled out the inscription, “Balti more 154 miles,” and then continued, “He was 154 years onld, and his name was Miles, from Baltimore.” —The Portland Argus says that Captain J. J. Boyd has secured a patent which will make a complete revolution in applying buttons to garments. By this invention buttons can be attached to any part of wearing apparel without the use of thread. The invention con sists solely in making the button with a wire, to be inserted into the cloth like a cork-screw, and then pressed down flat, so as to form a riug, to hold the button iu place. Death of Col. Samuel Buffington. —We learn that this event took place at his residence in St, Augustine, on Friday, the Ist inst., and on Sunday afternoon he received interment from the hands of the Masonic Fraternity. Few men in Florida, perhaps, are more generally known to her people than Colonel Buffington, among whom he had a ho3t of friends. He moved to this city from Milledgeville, Ga., many years ago, and established the House which bore his name, and betaine at once distinguish and for his genial char acter, and libera! public spirit, laying the foundation for that personal pop ularity which early after bore him to the Legislature of the State as a Represen tative from Duval county. The unfor tunate fire of 1859, which destroyed his large aud popular hotel, determined his removal to St Augustine, and lost to this city an enterprising and worthy citizen, whose presence and enterprise have been since seriously felt by this community. We have not been able to learn any of the particulars of his death. He had attained the meridian of life, and from the apparent enjoyment of high health, he Las been thus suddenly called to a higher lodge by the Supreme Master, where he will enjoy perpetual rest from his labors. Ho leaves a worthy family who have our unaffected sympathies. —Jacksonville [Fla.) Union, 9th inst. French Lessons. T ADIES WISHING TO LEARN THE Li FRENCH LANGUAGE, may apply to Mademoiselle H.
