.Depreciatory Panegyric.
Panegyric sometimes takes an amus
ingly awkward shape. Gen. McClellan’s
feelings must have been of a mixed order
at hearing himself saluted with, “General,
I have long desired to meet you; I have al
ways believed that you managed the army
as well as you knew how !” though he
shook hands with the perpetrator of the
unconscious sarcasm. The writer of a bio
graphical article it. a magazine, desiring,
as biographers usually do, to magnify his
subject in the ey’es of his readers, told them
Xb.at his hero had, ere he reached man’s
estate, “achieved a certain status as orator i
author.’’ Unfortunately, he fell impelled j
to explain that “he had spoken at the Man
chester Anthenaeum, and had written a
five act tragedy, which had been--Aited ?
Oh, no —privately printed.’’ The old
Scotch woman who term De Quincey “a
body wi’ an awful sicht o’ words” showed
a shrewd appreciation of the opium-eater
in declaring he would make a grand preach
er, although “a handle o’ the folk wadna
ken whai he was driving at.” This, how- 1
ever, was high praise compared with that j
meted to Wadsworth by the ancient Rydal ’
dame when some one asked her what kind !
of a man the poet was: "Oh, indeed, he >
is canny enough at times; and though he
will now and then say, "How do you do,
JVanny?” as sensible as you and me.”
Aanny might have paired off with the old
family nurse at Selborne, who, speaking of
the great naturalist who has made the place
so dear to all lovers of nature, said, “He
was a still, quiet body; there wasn’t a bit
o’ harm in him, there wasn’t indeed!’’
Stilt better and worse was the eulogiuu:
passed upon the "Ladies of LlangoUen,”
as they were called: “I must say, after
all, they was very charitable and cantanker
ous; they did a deal of good and never for
gave an injury.”
The following extract is from a letter
received by Thos. J. Perry, Esq., «f this
city, from a gentleman of West Virgin’s,
and shows the interest that is taken in
our Mountain City as soon as her advanta
ges is disclosed; and we owe it to the
cterling integrity of Mr. Perry, that this
disclosure has bsen made :
"I write now on behalf of a young
butcher who sees that I have the Rome,
Gm, fever so bad, that he wishes to know
what is the prospects in his particular
branch. F lense state bow many first class !
butchers your town has. I believe by a .
little energy and persuasion that I will be j
able to bring out a Corporal’s Guard of j
Useful Business Boys.
"We had a good rain to-day. We needed j
it badly. The wheat and gr*«s will be i
made now I think,and hog will be less than I
>4O |>er ton this winter, what we paid last
winter. Best flour here is worth $lO 5U :
to sll 00, on account of the Farvnsrs not ■
giving it the proper cultivation,
"I am deeply absorbed io building a new
Factory here and thinking of becoming a
Roman; the dictates of my heart tell me to
go, and my pulse beats for Rome.
“My many friends request me and en- j
treat me not to embark, but no preventing
providence, I will join you. Oar river is
nearly below bathing stage. No news of
interest. May God bless you and pio»pei ;
the fair Sunny South.
"How is coopering business? A cooper
want* to come also. How are you supplied
with first class bakers;abo with men in the
cigar trade? How will the Wheeling
Stogie take ? Puff them and write me can
a first class painter do good business.”
The Women of Vienna.
You can see crowds everywhere, and,
perha]>s, as splendid equippages, sad
dle-horses, and toilets in other places,
but nowhere else can you see women
so tall, stately, and robust, mantled
with that richness of color and glad- ,
neas of expression which are the pro
ducts of a fine physical organization.
They are for the most part decided
blondes or decided brunettes—Ger
mans ami Magyars—but they all seem
to Ih> cast in the same large mould,
und invented with magnificence. In
the vitality and affluence of then
ample stature, they seem to be the
very women that pray, smile, or dance
on the warm and glowing canvas of
Rubes. This implies, and is meant
to imply, that their beauty is not of
the finest order. In that respect our
own fair countrywomen are. I honestly
believe, unrivalled, but on the other
hand they are inferior in physique to
those Austrian dames. They may
speak purer German in Dresden and
Hanover, and the German cultus may
have no unpolluted shrine out of Ber
lin. but undoubtedly it is in Vienna
that German womanhood attains the
highest physical perfection.— Renna
