City Printer—Official Paper
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
TUESDAY MORNING Oct. 2, 186*
Nobility in Trouble.—One day,
when the flag-ship of an English Com
modore was lying in the Bay of Naples,
she was honored by a visit from the late
king and royal family, with suite, who
came out in gilded barges and the fnll
parade of royalty. She was dressed
from deck to truck in holiday attire ;
side-boys were mustered at the ropes,
the marines presented arms, the guns
thundered forth a royal salute, and the
Commodore welcomed his guests to the
quarter deck with the politeness befit
ting an officer of rank. One of the
suite, a spindle-shanked and gaudily
attired Neapolitan, strayed away from
the party, and cruising about midships,
espied a windsail, an object he had never
seen before. As it was fully expanded
by the air, he took it for a pillar, and,
folding his arms, leaned against it, when
it yielded to his weight, and he disap
peared below, heels over head, with a
velocity that was actually marvellous, ns
was his escape from any injury. The
mishap chanced to have only one wit
ness. This was a veteran tar, who, ap
proaching the quarter-deck, and touch
ing his hat, said respectfully, “I beg
pardon, Commodore, but one of them
’ere kings has fell down the hatchway.
A Roman Street Discovered in
England.—Near Basingstroke, in Eng
land, the ancient Roman and British
capital of Southern England, some ex
cavations have recently been made
which have laid bare a Roman street,
with another smaller one running from
it. Two large Roman houses, with
tesselated pavements, the site of an
amphitheatre, and a portion of the
walls surrounding the ancient capital,
have also been dug out. Several coius
of periods anterior to the Christian era
have been found, and a brick with
parts of an inscription upon it. Eng
land has, in many parts, relics of the
Roman rule in that country, and the
exposure of an entire city will, it is
thought, soon be added to the other
curiosities of the days of the Caesars.
The walls of the city, a portion of which
have been exposed, are said to have
been three miles in circumference.
Something of the Past.—Thirty
two years ago, remarks an exchange,
when Senator Douglas left his Green
Mountain home for Illinois, his great
rival, Lincoln, was keeping a post
office, fresh from the glories of the
Black Hawk War; Andrew Johnson
was Mayor of a little town in Tennes
see ; Jefferson Davis, a Lieutenant of
Dragoons, was chasing the. Indians;
Seward was grieving over his defeat as
Governor ; Breckinridge was studying
the orations of Cicero against Cataline,
at a Kentucky College; Chase was en
deavoring to gain a law practice in Cin
cinnati ; Sumner was entering the Bos
ton bar; Broderick was cutting stone;
Grant was a School-boy in his teens;
and Farragut watching the.honor of his
flag on the torrid coast of Brazil.
Austria in Troublk. —lt is an
nounced that Austria is at present suf
fering from the troubles that always
beset a nation in times of defeat. The
Emperor finds his Cabinet constantly
quarreling, and the difficulties caused by
the many jealousies of races that the
Austrian Empire has always felt are
now increased tenfold. Austrian finances,
too, are in a ba 1 condition. The Gov
arnment is endeavoring to negotiate
Treasury notes and loans amounting to
$245,000,000, but the various species
are all at a discount, being quoted at
from 46 to 69 cents on the dollar. In
many quarters the people, impoverished
by the war, are demanding Government
aid, and $10,000,000 have just been ap
propriated for the benefit of the Hunga
rians, whilst the Vienna tradespeople
ask for $1,000,000.
Political Change in Illinois. —The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun says: “A dispatch just re
ceived from Springfield, Illinois, states
that at a municipal election held in
that city on the 20th instant, the con
servatives carried Congressman Cul
lurn’s ward by 64 majority. Last
Spring the Radicals carried this ward by
17 majority. Tho council elected re
cc ntly is Democratic, which, the writer
o the dispatch says, ‘is a just rebuke
to the present council for its refusal
to receive the President on his late
tour.’ ”
Up on Down? —Mr. Jones met Mr.
Smith, as he was going on board a
SCISSORS.
—Simpson, the actor, would never take
any medicine, and his medical man was
often obliged to resort to some strate
gem to impose a dose upon him. There
is a play in which the hero is sentenced,
in prison, to drink a cup of poison.
Harry Simpson was playing this charac
ter one night, and had given directions
to have the cup filled with port wine ;
but what was his horror, when he came
to drink it, to find it contained a dose of
senna. He could not throw it away, as
he had to hold the goblet upside down,,
to show his persecutors he had drained
every drop of it, Simpson drank the
medicine with the slowness of a poison
ed martyr; but he never forgave his
medical man, as was proved at his death,
for he died without paying his bill.
—Recently, when conversing with
Mr. Henderson, of the Prince of Wales
Theatre, Liverpool, and one or two
other gentlemen, Mr. Matthews said,
incidentally : “By the way, it is exactly
sixty-two years since I first made my
first appearance in Liverpool.” A look
of surprise passed over the features of
those present, and at length one of
them said : “Dear met in what char
acter was that?” “In the character of
a baby,” was the reply; “I was born
in the next street just sixty-two years
ago.”
—Miss Fawcett, the actress, was one
evening dressing for a part, when a hoy
attached to the theatre knocked at the
dwor. “Please, miss, there’s a woman at
the back door, who says she wants two
orders to see the play.” “What is her
name? Go and ask her. I promised
no orders.” “I did ask her name; but
she said it was no use telling it, because
you didn’t know her.” “Not know herl
and she expects orders 1 Has the wo
mon her faculties about her?” “I
think she have, ma’am, for I see her
have a bundle tied up in a pocket hand
kerchief under her arm.”
—A few days since a lady ascended
to the top of a big chimney iu Ludlow,
Vermont, just built for the new factory,
which is one hundred and two feet high,
and there had her photograph taken.
Just think of a lady with a waterfall one
hundred and two feet high 1
—A paper in a neighboring city re
ports that there is a grocer up town who
is so meau that he was seen to catch a
fly o!T his counter, hold him by the hind
legs, and look in the cracks of his feet
to see if he hadn’t been stealing some of
his best sugar.
—“ Ah Sam, you’ve been in trouble ?’>
“ Yes, Jem, ves.” »
“ Well, cheer up, man ; adversity tries
us, and shows our better qualities.”
“ Ah, but adversity didn’t try me; it
was County Judge, and he showed up
my worst qualities.”
“He has ‘honest man’ written in his
face,” said a friend to the late Douglas
Jerold, speaking of a person in whom
Jerold’s faith was not so great.
“Humph,” replied Jerold, “then the pen
must have been a very bad one.
—“The wind is getting round,” re
marked Bibbs to his friend Buggius,
the other day, when it changed from
East to West. “Glad of it,” replied
Bnggins; “it has been sharp long
enough.”
—“Hallo, Mr. Page,” said an Express
agent, “I should like to know if all the
people on the Express line go bare
foot?” Part of them do,“and the rest
on ’em mind their own business.” Si
lence ensued.
—“ Husband,” said an exasperated
wife, “ 1 can’t express my detestation of
your conduct.”
“ Well, dear, I’m very glad you can’t,”
was the cool reply.
—“When does mortification ensue ?’>
asked an examining physician of a med
ical student. “When you propose and
are rejected.”
—One act of beneficence to the
needy, one act of real usefulness, is
worth all tho abstract sentiment in the
world.
—There are three things that never
can become rusty : the money of the be
nevolent, the shoes of the butcher’s
horse, and a woman's tongue.
—An old man, when dangerously sick,
was urged to take the advice of a phy
sician, but he objected—saying—“l
wish to die a natural death.”
—A wag says, and truthfully too, that
one half the lawyers live without a
cause and die without effects.
—A loving couple up country have
had a pipe made with two handles, so
that they can both smoke together.
—There are three miseries of a man’s
house: a smoky chimney, a dripping
roof, and a scolding wife.
—An apothecary in Salem has written
over his door, “All kind* of dyiny stuff
for sale here.”
—“Mrs. Dobson, how’s your hus
