” , What Is Respectability!
To judge from the conduct and ideas of some per-
V eons among both sexes, respectability consists in
v i-; driving fast horses .wearing rich laces, drinking cham-
piuraef or Idling away lift. To out a flgaro l" «ooic-
i^a^S!S!S-«fcU»ruH5Uaig.onnt-n watering place,appeurs
' "T r ~to be' the sole aim of many women, who surely were
bom for better things. To cultivate a moustache,
■port a " two forty” trotter, or act as a model exbib
iter of coats for some fashionablo tailor, seems to be
. > 'the conception of a dignilled and respectable carocri
v • formed by not a few ot the men.
Now, being respectable, in either mon or woman,
is, to our notion, doing what la duty. Tho poorest
-'..person,even In what is considered popularity,the
humblest avocation, who pays bis debts, obeys the
1 law, and fulfils his other obligations to sooiety und to
his fellow-creatures, is a thousand times mororespeot-
•' able than the wealthy idler, the educated spendthrift,
'the callous miser, or tho fashionablo fool. So tho
modest female, whether seamstress, book-folder,
' press-tender, storekeeper, or even house Beavant, Is,
- (a the tree sense of tho word, infinitely more respect-
. able than the extravagant wife who is ruining her
husband, than the thoughtless votary of fashion, than
■ the butterfly flirt. In a word, worth, not wealth,
■' .constitutes respectability. , t .
': Again. It is what really u, not what merely seems
„ to be, respectable, that men of sense honor os such.

On reaching the City Hall the President was In

Mayor Alderdice weioomed him to the city in a cor

turning thanks for tho onthusiaatlo warmth of tho
welcome, but excusing himself from a longer address
being prevented by a cold which ho had contracted
last night whilst addressing the oitinma of Baltimore.

< a roan, let him do what ho will, can never become
respectable. A golf os wide as that between Dives

good. 8o also the low-minded in all pursuits, those

latans of every hue, bypoorites, demagogues, toadies,

Unde Tom Not an Apocryphal Character.
A correspondent or the N- Y. Evening Post sug
gests that the aged-black man, Pierre Tousaalut,who
came to that city nearly BOycara ago, from St. Domin-
S o, and last week closed a long, useful and blamoless
fe, might, if Mrs. Stowe could havo been supposed
to have known him, havo sat as the original of the
portrait to which she gave the name of Uncle Tom.
Toussaint Is spoken of by all who knenrhimaan
^ man of the wannest and most activo benevolence,
the gentlest temper, and the most courteous ami
graceful yet unassuming mnnncrs. The successive
pastors ot St. Peter’s Church had all the same opinion
of him, and it is said that when the present pastor
came to bury him, he observed that he had not such
a man left among his congregation. The following
Bhort notice at nun appeared the other day in two
^‘ ,r Hb was?»rn in tho servitude of 8t. Domingo, and
In devoted attendance upon hla mistress in her flight
from that island, arrived in this city in 1788. Here
the former dependant became the sole support or the
unfortunate lady and her most disinterested friend
until her death. The occupation of ladies’ hair-dress
er gavo him admission to the houses of the influential
families or that day, and his good manners, nuusuai
discrimination of character and high sense of propri
ety, ensured him the countenanco, courtesy and es
teem of all to whom be was admitted, and the confi
dence and friendship of many to whom tho excellence
of his life and character were more intimatoly known.
All knew his general worth, but few wore acquainted
• with the geoeroua qualities of his heart, and with
those prinolples of disinterested an
which governed his dally conduct.
His obarity was of the efficient character which did
not content itself with a present relief of pecuniary
goodness, springing from refined and elevated prin
ciple, and from a sense of religions duty which never
permitted him to omit a most scrupulous compliance
. with ail the requirements of his faith, formed the
- prominent feature ot ills character, and rnado his life
ft constant round of acts of kindness and sympathy.
By auoh a life, governed by such principles or integ-
: ritv, charity and religion, Toussiant secured to him-
‘ self the respect, esteem and friendship of many of our
flrat citizens, and though death has made the circle
. small In which be had moved, there are yot remain
ing many vrbo will remember his excellence and
worth with tho kindest appreciation.”
’ It la related of a gentleman, formerly of New York,
distinguished for the wit and point of his conversa
tion, tost he waa one /lay talking with a lady, who
- instanced Hyde de NeuvIUe as more fully illustrating
her idea of a perfect gentleman than any other per
son she had known. He replied: “The moat per
fect gentleman I havo ever known is Pierre Tous-
saint.” Toussaint died with tho gout, which is esteem
ed a gentleman’s disease. It is remarkablo that with
' ail bis charities, he died possesed of a pretty good
property—some $30,000. Ho wasted nothing on him-
■elf, ana managed his affairs with good sense.

• Some Idea of tho expenses attending upon a large
" hotel, inay be gathered from the following, from a
correspondent of the New Bedford Standard, who
writes ftbont the United States Hotel, in Boston :
“ The hotel occupies 33,000 square feet of ground,
hoi 380 rooms, easy accommodations for 550 persons,
and capable or lodging and boarding 800. There are
130 made and female employees divided into ft dozen
" different department*, each bating a responsible head

Great effort* are makit^bytbe Jwwns papon to
dtsaflbot Union Democrat*, by attempting to abow
that they hate not been fairly treated in the aelectlon
of candidate* for offloe In this State. They are told
that Johnson, a Southern Bight* Democrat, ha* been
nominated for Governor, and that Baiusy, Colquitt
and Dknt three Southern Right* men, have been
nominated for Congress in tbolr rospootlvo District*.
They ramembor to forget that In the alxth Distriot
Mr. Chiislatn, a Union Democrat, ha* been nomina
ted by the Democratic party, and that In the seventh
the only Democrat* running are Union men.
Now 1* it not a little lingular that these Jenkins
presses should have to much sympathy for Union
Democrats, and none whatever for Scott Whigs ?—
Wo find by reference to tho Whig Almanac, that in
the last Presidents! election the Boott ticket received
in Georgia 10,060 votes, and the Webstbk and Jen-
kina ticket just 5,324. Yet now, whon the timo has
come for the destrlbution of honors among the Boorr
and Webster men—what do wo And? First and
foremost, an auti-Soorr Whig la made candidate for
Governor. Looking further, wo see Stephens, (anti*
Scorr) Reese, (antl-SooTT) Tiuppr, (antl-SooTT)—
and not one Boott man nominated ’for Congress. In
tho fourth Distriot, where, we suppose no Webster-
its desired to bo a candidate, the party has actually
held a couvention audTCCommcnd aUnion Democrat,
rathor than bring forward a Scott Whig. In all tbe
Districts In which Whigs aro certain of election,
Whigs who bolttd tho nomination of the Whig Nation
al Convention aro already in tho Held. Nor aro tbo
. Webster men yet aatlsled—so eager aro they for
offico themselves, or ao determined to exclude tbe
friends of Gen. Scott. In this District, tbe RepuUi-
can, (so full of sympathy for Union Doraocrata and
so little thanked for it by them) Ib using all its influ
ence to havo a gentleman nominated who refused to
BUbuun Scott aud Graham.
Not a Scott Whig has been nominated in tho whole
State.
Weill we do not intend to distress ourselves at
their fate. Wo were, as is well known, opposed to
Gen. Scorr as unworthy of Southern support—there
fore we need not complain should tho Jenkins party
punish ail who voted lor him by excluding them
from office. We presumo they have the right to do
it; though we confess our surprise at their boldness
in attempting it. And wo shall bo equally surprised
should their victims quietly submit to It. If they do
their example will not hereafter bo without its influ
ence. Whigs will, in future, know what they have
to expect, if, after sending delegates to a Whig Presi
dential Convention, they shall dare to Bupportita
nominee in opposition to tho commands of Messrs.
Toombs, Stephens and Jenkins !
Montgomery and Pensacola Railroad.
The views which we havo frequently advanced as
to the prospective prosperity and population of Pen-
Bacoia are fully sustained by the Montgomery Ad-
vntiser. From the lust issue of that paper, we make
the following extracts bearing on this point:
u Montgomery .cannot be diverted, by threats or persuasions,
from her purpose of constructing the railroad to Pensacola —
Her couree lies boon decided on after folly and carefully
examining tho matter in all 1U bearings. It Is not to build
up Pensacola to the injury of our only aeaport. It Is our
own welfare we think wo aro consulting In that railroad.—
Montgomery is not and never has been hostile to Mobile. Sho
needed a railroad connection with tho (Julf—aho Ml'irr hare
it or Buffer Msrloua decline. Pensacola offered to meet her
at tho Florida lino, with means to construct the road to lhat
point. Mobile, to build up which eho has contributed no
largely for twonty rears, Beamed Indifferent to any similar
railroad project. Instead of a>rotchlng out her hand and
means to us. Mobllo has nubnorlbed a million dollars to a
road well calculated to impair If not destroy our prosperity,
unlosa wo have a Hpcedy communication with the Gulf. It
la fully now for Mobile. Girard, Greenville,*or any other
town, indlrldnal or Individuals, to persuade or threaten
Montgomery. Penincola will bo' tho terminus of our Gulf
road, let the consequences be what they may. If It is bad
policy, wo aro resolved to ruallie It by actual experience.—
Wo aro not to be controlled In regard to this road by any
combination in* any quarter. Those disposed to offer ad
vice may as well keep it to thomsolve*. Uur courso Is fixed
and our eyes aro turned to tho best harbor on the Gulf, and
less than three years will wltnois tho completion of tho
road.
•-The question is not whether Mobilo shall bo tho tcrml-
nus*of our road, but whether, if completed, Pensacola wilt
become a large city. Wo admit that capital la scarce now at
Pensacola, but in eighteen months, or less time, it will
flow thither in quautitioa sufficient to alarm Mobile \f not
Horn Orleans. Tho unrivalled position of that city, so sure
ly to bo connected by railroad with ono of tho richest back
countries in the United States will attract millions of do!*
lara to be employed In every branch of business Cotton
will go to tboro by tho hundred thousand bales, and thus
save thefifty cents a bale for lighterage now charged in Mobile,
as staled by Mr. Lockxcood, in a recent speech at Camden,
Wiltcojs courtly. With our road to North Alabama finished
to the minoral region, which will be undertaken next
spring, Pensacola will a1*o become a great depot and mar-
kotjfor coal, iron, lime, etc. Her miraculous growth from
this summer forward needs no argument or figures to demon
strate.."
Tho people of Montgomery, and of tho soctlon of
Alabama south of her, in deciding to connect them-
solves by railroad with Pensacola, instead of their
own seaport, aro governed by tho same principle
which builds railroads all over tho world. That prin
ciple is scIMntorost. They havo, aud can havo no
hostility to Mobile. But tbBy believe tho perspective
advantages from a connection with Pensacola greater
than those to be derived from a connection with Mo
bilo. Consoqiie”tly they havo determined to go to
Pensacola, though to do so will cost them more than
to reach Mobile ; os the latter city is now ablo to
subscribe much moro largely than the former.
For onrselvos, a3 citizens of Savannah, wo rejoice
at tho prospect of tho completion of both tho road
from Montgomery to Pensacola, and of that from
Pensacola to Mobile.

State have conclusively shown that under Its presont name

Our object in addressing you Is to ask your eld In chang
ing this situation of adhlrs, whioh wopropose to do at fol

1st. To drop the namo of Whigs.
2nd. To assunio that of California Republicans.
3rd. To adopt a platform embracing all the popular ques
tions of the day.
The reasons for this course may be briefly stated thus:
1st. The name of '• Whig ” If continued, cannot bo m&Uo
eufflclently broad so cover many of the profresslvo lfleas
of the day j nor can we hope undnr It to draw to our aid
many who, opposed to the presont position of tho Domo-
oratfo party, aro willing to split off from It and join un in
dependent or a new party, yet who hare beeu so bitterly
opposed to, and so otton in political conflict with n» that
they will not assume tho noma of Whigs nor work with us
under such name. There are also two other classes among
the Democrats whom we may almost certainly rely upon to
join us if we drop the Whig namo ; these classes are those

took of a collation at tbe Indian Quocn,aud tho other

dent was received by tho Hon. George M. Dallas in a
beautiful address, in wliich he highly approved of the
countenance shown by the President to the industry
of the country In attending tho opeuing of the Ciystal
Palace. President Pierce responded as follows:
I receive with tho deepest emotion this expression
through you, on the part of the citizens of Philadel
phia. I rejoice to hear yon say, Sir, that it is with one
accord that I am welcomed among you. I know that
my recoption is to bo the reception not of me as an
individual, but of me as their servant, and while I
recognize that relation, Sir, I also recognize another,
and shall always—that I am their representative—
the representative or their interests and tbolr honor.
I intend, Sir, that neither shall sutler in my keeping.
I am obliged to you also, Sir. for expressing your ap-
S robation of this short absence from tho peculiar
eld of ray uuty. It was a matter of extromo doubt
with me, Sir, what I ought to do, but I am now sat
isfied that I came to the right conclusion, because I
have tho approbation of tbe Intelligent citizens of
Philadelphia. [Cheers.] During tho few moments
that wo have been upon this storied Delaware, with
tho shores of Pennsylvania on tho one hand and New
Jersey on tho other, is it not with yo4 as it is with
me, impossible to bring your minds to dwell on the
present and tho hones of the future ? My thoughts
arc involuntarily back-tamed upon that great and
noble past which yonr State and your citizens bore.
I do not suppose there are twenty men present who
havo not, since wo came on this boat, recollected that
in 1777, perhaps about 60 miles above, the most re
markable movement of the whole revolution occurred
in a moment of such darkness, when tbe cloud closed
around onr fathers, and that army crossed tho Dela
ware in winter, to a march, leaving their blood upon
every foot track of tho way, and changed tho future
aspect to our expectations. When upon oil these
things 1 dwell, at this moment, with un unusual do-
gree of feeling, I remember tho cherished memories
of tho revolution, tbe sacrifices which were mado for
our liberties, the privations and tolls aud trials, sir,
which purchased that glorious Union of which you
have spoken, will make it dear to us all as long as we
may live ; [applause] and, sir, my hope to transmit
to our children, not tuo mere belief, hut the convic
tion that, how great auy State In this Union may be,
it is nothing out of this Union. [Cheers.] Every
word I say, Mr. Dallas, is a knife in my lungs. I
thank you heartily, and I feel a degree of pride and
gratification in seeing Mr. Rusk, Mr. Ingersoli, your
self and these gentlemen, who have contributed so
much to tho honor and fame of your country—much
moro than it will bo in my power to express. I thank
tho city of Philadelphia for tho reception which she
proposes to give me, and thank her especially for
the way and through the men she proposes to intro-
duccrae.
Tho company then sat down to an entertainment
spread by Jones’ Exchange Hotel, and spent an hour
pleasantly in partaking of the viands.
Salutes were fired as tho boat passed Chester, Fort

boat took the Jersey channel on tho passage up, go

wharf and vessel were covered with a moss of people,
aud tho shipping were gaily decorated with flags.—
Tho U. S. steamer San Jacinto and Receiving ship
Union were decorated with flags from tho deck to the
mnst-hend.
Tho President landed In Philadelphia punctually
at 4 o'clock, and was received at tho Navy Yard by
Com. Read, and a large number of Naval officers in
full uniform. On landing a salato was fired from tho
Battery, and the Marines drawn up with presented
arms.
A procosfiion was then formed and tho President,
supported by Com. Read, marched up the yard head
ed by tho Band. The President retired to tbo Com
modore’s office until tee military escort was ready,
when lie mounted a horse and passed out of tho gates
The City troops formed a guard of honor and after a
review tho President took position in tho centre of the
troop and tho procession took up its lino of march.—
Throughout tho whole route tho Presidont was receiv
ed witli cheers, waiving of hankerchiefs, &c.
On the procession reaching Independence Hall, the
President was officially welcomed to the city by May
or Giinin, in a brief but appropriate address. The
Presidont roso and was received with renewed enthu
siasm, and responded as fellows:
“ Mr. Mayor and Citizens of Philadelphia ■’ It
grieves mo that I am physically unable to respond to
this most hearty and touching welcome. Sir, my heart
is full of gratitude to you, and full of gratitudo to all
this pcopfo who havo placed you in tho position which
you occupy. I did think that I had tried in ray day
to do some little for my country, but such a day as
this makes a man’s heart overrun with gratitude to a
people like the inhabitants of Pennsylvania. I have
been much surprised—aye, sir, filled with the pro-
fonndost awe, at tho manner in which yon have re
ceived me. Philadelphia is a city of some mark. If
your mountains and valloys did not teem with tbo ele
ments or comfert to your population, if your citizens
in all timo bad not been foremost whenever the coun
try has wanted their aid, if your institutions of learn
ing were not among your proudest monuments, tho
Bingle fact to which you adverted, air, that from here
proclaimed the Declaration of independence,
would put Pennsylvania and Philadelphia on a pre
eminence which, in tho Providence of God, no other
Stato or city can ever cDjoy. [Applause.] Sir, I feel
as you do that we must bow—wo can hardly do any
thing else than bow—before these recollections and
associations. I feel bow inadequate is Innguage, sir,
and you also feel it when yon come to speak of that
icriod. Language don’t reach it, sir. Our hearts
lonorit in all depth, power and fullness, I hope.
Those men of whom you have spoken, who planted
hero tho institutions of a free Government, let us re
member, were no holiday patriots—they were no
scheming philanthropists—they were no visionary
statesmen. They deliberated amid the difficulties
that surrounded them here—they meditated amid the
clamors of arms as though environed by peace and
absolute security, and they solved tbo great problem
whioh was a terror to despots and an inspiration to
patriots, and as though the Issue did not Involve the
question of their necks. Sir, here stood—(and as I
say it, how thoy come before us)—here stood Thomas
Jefferson, and Franklin, and Roger Sherman ; and
also, perhaps, far this is tho first timo I have been
bore, in this very roomtatood the dauntless John Han
cock, as he received from thoso men not only the as
sertion of onr rights, but the charter of our liberties.
Can wo do anything but bow in a placo like this 7
It is not in my power to speak to you at length^-
You have said, very pronorly perhaps, that it is not
yonr province, it is certainly not mine, to disturb the
deep current of feeling which courses the hearts and
minds of thoso around me. But it ia not only your
city but yonr State that possesses, in a peculiar de
gree, tho resources of wealth and power. She Is an
empire in herself.
The President continued at considerable length, In
tbo same eloquont strain, after which bo was conduct
ed to the Merchant’s Hotel, where a maguificent ban
quet was spread. Tho company did not a<\jonrn till
a late hour.
Tho President will receive the citizens generally at
Independent) Hall to-morrow, at 0 A. M.
From the Nnvjr Yard.
The beautiful frigate Savannah is now ready for
sea, and only waiting orders and men. Her officers
have all reported themselves for duty; and as she
now lies fully equipped for service, (men excepted,)
she looms np the most noble vessel in our navy. She
is visited by strangers and citizens, and is an object
of admiration. Her destination is supposed to be tbe
coast of Brazil.

civlfle) who, eltlior by Polling olfico under tbo Democrat*
and falling to giro antlafucUou, or who by «omo other moan*
havo lo.it the''confidence ol their party, and have nothing
whatever to hope from it hereafter. Those classes with
their InUucuco. cast an Immense number of votes, and if
they can be secured, nre sufficient to turn tbe scale of pop
ular suffrage In our favor. For the sake of perfect harmo
ny It will be necessary to glvo each of these classes a por
tion of tbe offices, which you aro aware will be utterly im
possible If we contlnuo under our present name.
Having shown a portion of tho reasons why It is expedl*
ent to nbandoo the namo of Whigs, it is next to show a
reason for assuming the ouo proposed. We might tell you
Hint California 1ms great and peculiar interests almost to
tally distinct from that of either of her slater States, and
that It would be Improper to bo guided by tho party lines
and party namos of tue Atlantic side ; but we only ask,
can a hotter or more appropriate name than that of Cali
fornia Republican, be chosen ? It strongly expresses two,
and but two distinct principles—Callfornlanlim and Repub*
llcanlsm: tho subordinates tbe new party can arrange to
eolt itself; the name will not necessarily connect us with
any of tho Atlantic questions : we can adopt or reject a
portion of tho principles of either purty ; we aro pledged
to nothing but California, tho Nation of the I'acljto.
In regard to the platform, wo request that you ■ -■

heart, and will no doubt be cherished and esteemed
by all lovers of American freedom. Her timbers aro

Fourth op July.—A very good account is given
by a Canadian paper, of a dialogue passing betweon
a Yankoo and a Britisher. Tbo Briton remarked that
tho celobration and observance of tho 4th of July,
would soon pass away and bo no more tbonghtof. This
apparently roused the iro of tbe Yankee, who, rais
ing himself to hla fall height and turning to our ac
quaintance, said:
“Now. mark mo stranger, tbo first thing yon'll

ration of American Independence, and that day will
be the 4th of July too.”

Cuba,.
The Now York Times, of tho 12th instant, contains
two letters from Havana, dated the 1st instant, from
which wo learn that tho accounts from the country
are quito disheartening. On one plantation they
havo lost two hundred and eighty negroes from chol
era. The Chinese havo also suffered terribly. In
some instances tho whole number taken on the estate
havo been swept off If it comes to tho city, it will
mako sad havoc added to tho yellow fever.
The into news from England and Spain lias pro'
duccd quite an excitement in regard to tho slave
question. Tho most positive orders have been re
ceived, there ia no doubt, from Spain, to put it down
at all hazards. Zuluota and Fnrcada, both large
planters, nre already in prison. It is said there is an
order for the arrest of Parqjo and another considera
ble character. Negroes of the late importations aro
brought in almost daily from the various plantations.
These proceedings have thrown great despondency
cm the planting interest. What the result will be it
is difficult to say. At this moment the old Spaniards
nre more bitter against tho Home Government than
tho Creoles. Should they unite, good bye to Spanish
ascendency. I verily believe thnt if a single rifle reg-
imeut of filibusters were to land anywhere on tho isl
and, they would tako it without the loss of a man.—
The island was never in a better state far an expedi
tion of the kind.
Tho Black Warrior arrived too late last evening to
.proceed on her voyage same day. She will leave this
morning, at 8 o'clock, for Mobile.
Wo have well-grounded information of two moro
landings effected on tho coast by tho incorrigible
slavers—ono near Matanzas, eovoring six hundred ;
and one at tbe Isle of Piues, said tone five hundred
and forty or five hundred and fifty. We shall havo
full particulars for next steamer. This all jingles so
consistently with tho labors of refutation now in pro
gress in the offico of our Secretary of State, and so
confirms tho reports of my Lord Howden, that there
can Iw no longer any doubt of the entire good faith of
Cancdo, anv moro than there could be of tho honesty

What U Democracy I
Liko all other names of tilings, it implies whatever
tho peopio mean who use it, in the particular coun
try where it is used. Hera in America, it does not
menu tho whole body of the people acting for them
selves and legislating en masse. It meaiiH, wbon
used to designate tho farm of a government, tbo po
litical system of tbe people who govern themselves
by chosen representatives, who aro required to do
their will, and who are chosen from among the mass
of tho peopio for tbeir known or presumed ability to
serve tne noople, and for thole acknowledged or re
puted preference for a measure or sot of measures
such as tbe people who elect thorn advocate and de
sire to havo adopted. Wbon used to represent the
principles of a party, it Is intended to imply tbo larg
est political liberty ; tho nearest practical apprach to
equality; tbo sovereignty of, or inherence of all po
litical power in, the body of tho people ; the strict
accountability of tho chosen representative to tho
peopio who chose him ; tho obligation of the govern
ing agents to so govern tbo whole peopio as to confer
the greatest possible amount of benefit upon the
greatest possible number of them; and the duty
of all thoso who hold delegated power, to bear con
stantly in mind that scriptural idea, that “ The ser
vant is not greater than bis lord ; neither lie that is
sent greater than he that send him.”
This is what wo mean by democracy, in this coun
try ; and woll should thoso who apply its principles
to themselves, or who claim the name, under pretend!
of bolding the principle, scan themselves, lest they
make themselves ridiculous in the cyeB of the world,
and incur tho scorn of tho wisowho see through them
by palpably unfounded pretensions.—Bajfalo Bcpub.
Cure for a Cold.
It is well known that celebrated singers arc liable
to bo seized with sudden colds, which are only vari
ations of the air-" I don’t want to sing.” We find
in Meyerbeer’s new German Monthly tho following
account of an effective cure for such cases :
“ Tbo celebrated Handel wrs ono evening standing
at tbe leader’s desk, just as tbo bouse at tbo grand
opera was beginning to fill, when a messago was
brought him from the Signora Cuzzo, his Prlma Don
na, that she was seized with a sudden cold, and could
not sing a note. Handel sprang forward as if bitten
by a mad dog, ran in tire greatest rage to tho lady’B
apartment, broke open tho door, seized ber in hfe
strong arms, and carried her to the window. “I
know,” cried be, “ that you are a sotan *, but I will
conquer you. If you will not consent to sing this
evening, I will immediately throw you out on the
sidewalk below.” The fair Italian had nothing to
say In answer to this strong argument. She sang the
same evening liko a nightingale.
“ What is the height of a woman’s ambition 7 Dia
monds.”-- Punch.
Sagacious Punch I Do you know the reason 7 It
is because the more “ diamonds ” a woman owns, the
more precious sbo becomes in the eyes of your dis
criminating sex. What pair of male eyes ever saw a

your marrow-bones, and swear that the owner is a
Venus, a Hebe, a Jnno;a sylph, a fairy, an angel 7—
Would you stop to look (connubially) at the most be
witching woman on earth, whose only diamonds were
“ in her eye?” Well, it is no great marvel, Mr. Punch.
Tho race of men is about extinct. Now and then yon
