A poet says: “Oh, she was fair* hut sorrow came and left his traces there.” What became of the balance of the harness he don’t state. Upon being asked her father’s pro fession, a Cincinnati belle said he "em balmed pork, she believed.” The neighbors call him an old hog [.acker. The editor of an Eastern paper, hav ing received a bank-note detector, re turns thanks, and modestly asks for some bank-notes upon which to test its accuracy. A l>eautiful Indiana school girl, thir teen years old and six feet one inch high, is causing a general rupture among the suspenders of the short boys who try to kiss her. A French author has translated passage from one of Coo|*er’s novels as follows : He descended from his horse in front of the chateau and tied him to a large grasshopper. The original reads, a large locust. “How like its father it is!” exclaim ed the nurse on the occasion of the christening of the balio, whose father was over seventy and had married a young wife. “Very like,” replied a sartirieal lady; “It hasn’t a tooth in its head.” The following concise and comprehen sive note was sent to an Illinois mer chant by a neighboring farmer the oth er day: “Send me a trace-chain and two hinccs. Jane had a baby last night—also two padlocks.” “Doctor,” said a sick man, “what is the matter with me?” “Ccrehro-spinal meningitis,” said the doctor, solemnly. “Ah !” cried the patient with a sigh, and into hold out against such a dis ease as that. He died of dictionary. An* Irish Bull.—“Bednd, thin,” says Patrick, “the first bird I ever saw was a porcupine. I shot at him with my spade, and the first time I hit him, I missed him. The second time I hit him, I hit him where I missed him tlfe first time.” A New York merchant, while re cently taking dinner upon one of the Canadian steamers, very innocently took an egg, broke its shell, and emp tied its contents, as he supposed, into an egg-cup. After arranging it to suit his taste, lie raised the supposed cup when lo! it was a “China napkin-ring., At Lawrence, Kansas, on Sunday, while a minister was holding forth in the church, a crowd got up a cock fight in the yard. The [.eople who had con gregated in the church went out to stop the fight, but awaited until the battle was over before objecting. The minis ter looked out of the window at the crowd, and said, “We are all misera ble sinners—which whipped ?” ed hack. She had not gone far before a negro man stopped her horse, took her off the horse, hitched it outride of the road, and told her to take the path before him, and drove and pushed and [lulled her eight miles into the bottom, and tied her to a tree, and ravished her. He kept her there three days ami nights tied to the tree. The se cond day, while there, she had a child in the woods by herself. She was gone from home three days before her hus band went after her. He went over to the Louse where she had started to go; and when he found she was not there., he started home, and found the horse tied where the negro had left it three days liefore. He took the horse home and collected several men togeth er and commenced hunting for her ; and next dav they saw two little ne groes, who told them that they had seen a negro the day before, driving a white woman liefore him down the path. They scattered off to huut for them, and got so close that the negro went by where the woman was tied, killed her with a stick, and then left her. The negro stopjied at a house, and asked a negro man and boy if there was anybody hunting for a miss ing lady. They told him yes ; and, ns he got up to start, they caught him and started hack with him and met one of the men in pursuit. They made him tell where the woman was; he said he killed her. They then made him take them to where she was. He said they were in sight of her the day be fore, when the woman fainted. He said she had fainted three or four times while tied, and she begged him to turn her loose, and lie would not. They took the negro to her husband nnd ask ed, him what they must do with him. He told them to hum him. The men who had him wore all negroes.— They built two log heaps and put him in the middle. They were twenty- four hours burning him. They cut his toes off and made him swallow them, ami then cut strips of his skin off his body and made him broil them on the cords and eat them. And they would roll him in the coals and take him out and talk to him, and put him back. At last they built a large fire, put him on top of it, and let him burn to ashes. There was not a white man that had anything to do with it—all | negroes. The other three negroes that were killed were shot dead on the spot; they knew where the woman was, and would not tell. In those days miners would flock in crowds to catch a glimpse of that rare and blessed spectacle, a woman. Old inhabitants tell how, in a certaing ramp, the news went abroad, early in the morning that a woman was come ? Tliey had seen a calico dress hangin out ot a wagou down at the camp ground—sign of emigrants from over the great plains. Everybody went down there, and a shot went up when au actual, bona fide dress was discovered fluttering in the wind! The maleemi- grant was visible. The miners said.; ‘ Fetch her out! Hesaid: “It is my wile gentlemen—sli,e is sick—we have been robbed of money, provisions, every thin® by the Indiaus—we want to rest* ^Fetch her out! AVe’ve got to see her!” “ But, gentlemen, the poor thing she—” “Fetch her out!” He fetched her out, and they swung their hats and sent up three rousing cheers and a tiger; and they crowded around and gazed at her, and touched her dress, and listened to her voice with the look of tnen who listened to a memory rather than a present reality —and then they collected . 82,500 iu gold and gave it to the man, and swung their hats again and gave ihree more cheers, and went home satisfied. Once I dined in San Francisco wiih the family of a pioneer, and talked with his (laughter, a young lady whose first experience in San Francisco was an adventure, though she herself did not remember it as she was only two or three years old at the time. Her lather said that, after landing from the ship, they were walking up the street, a servant leading the party with the little girl in her arms. And presently a huge miner, bearded, belted, spurred and bristling with deadly weapons— just down from a long campaign in the mountains, evidently—barred the way, stopped the servant and stood gazing, with a face all alive with gratification and astonishment. Then be sakL- re verently: “Well, if it ain’t a child!” And then he snatched a little leather bag out of his pocket and said to the ser vant; “There’s a hundred nnd fifty dollars in dust, there, and I’ll give it to you to let me kiss the child!” That anecdote, is true. Bat see how things change. Sitting at that dinner-table, listening to that anecdote, if I had offered double the money for the priv ilege of kissing the same child, I should have been refused. Seventeen added years have far more than doubled the price.—Mark Twain. HIS ANSWER. tioug wikoeaMf^a^ merciless manner.. Sometimes, however, the former get demanded a learned counsellor.

One man died from the bite of a eat; and two more from the bites respec tively of a ferret and an adder. An other was stung to death by bees. And a man and a boy died of falling from velocipedes, and an old lady was killed by injuries inflicted by that agreeable machine. The swallowing of a shell, a screw, and a cherry-stone, put a jieriod to the lives of three in fants, while two died of putting, one a stone, the other a bead, into the ear. Swallowing bones sent three people nut of the world, swallowing coins finished two, aud swallowing a pin quickly pricked on grim Death for one. A scratch from a thorn killed a woman of middle age; improper med icine poisoned eight people, and im proper food five; 444 young persons were smothered by bedclothes, and 930 persons during the year lost their lives A Singular Religious Quarrel. —The village of Bethlehem, in Syria, the birthplace of Chrisf, is at this time the^ceue of a disgraceful quarrel be tween the Latin and Greek Patriarchs. Iu the quaiut old church which is sup posed to stand on the spot where stood the manger in which Christ was laid at his birth, the chief of the Catholics lias hung a new tapostiy curtain uert s; the “Grotto of the Nativity,” iu the place of the one burnt in 1871, and which the Ottoman government was to have replaced in order to eud the tra ditional disputes between the Greek and Latin Churches, relative to the proprietary rights in said curtains. This action of the Latin clergy has called out a protest from the Greek, which the Greek Patriarch at Jerusalem has ad dressed to the Sublime Porte. Both parties have now agreed to refer the question to the French Ambassador at Constantinople. , Heads Off May 20rn. — The Washington Star, of Saturday, say Frequent inquiries are nmde at the Internal Revenue Bureau as to when the act of December 24th, 1872, abol ishing the office of Assessor and Assist ant Assessor of Internal Revenue will take effect. The Commissioner, in re ply, notifies all that the law will he put into operation on the 20th of May next, and Ift that time the services of all the Assessors, two hundred and thirty in number, and the assistant; about one thousand two hundred, will he dispensed with.

The head, in fact, is absolutely that of Jupiter; the fi gure is covered with a tunic, having short sleeves which only cover the up per part of the arms; the legs and hand are crossed; a cloak falls from the shoulders and envelops the lower limbs ; the right hand holds a papyrus, so that the belief is it must represent a philosopher.

At length the man, seeing the predicament the boy was in, yelled .>ut, as he let drive another ball, “Stand in among the pins, hoy, if you don’t want to get hurt.” The Fence and Stock Law.—In 1872 the Lcgislatureof Georgia pars’d a law in regard to fences and tock, and the question seems to bo exciting a good deal of attention just now in various portions of the State. The law pro vidcs that upon the petition of fifty freeholders, the Ordinary shall proceed to order an election. In the event of a counterpetition from fifty freeholders, the Ordinary shall proceed no further. Notice of election is to be given in due form, and the poll upon the question is to be had on the first Monday iu July next. Li nder this law the boundary line of each lot or parcel of land i’s to be considered a lawful fence, and no an imal used or fit for food and labor will he allowed to ruu at large be yond the limits of the land of the owner. Many counties are moving in the matter,’ and it is very likely that in some of them the law will be adopted. There is opposition, however, in some sections, and the fight will be hotly con tested. found at the bottom of another garden contiguous to the one aliove mentioned, namely, a marble Venus, measuring, with the base, more than a yard in height. It is in perfect preservation, ns it only wants two fingers of the right hand, hut the most remarkable characteristic is that it is colored.

In the present work the hair is yellow, the eye-lashes and eyebrows black ; the chiamy, which from the left arm, pass ing behind the shoulders, descends on the legs and covers the lower parts, is also tinted yellow outside, while the interior folds show at the edges some traces of blue and red.
