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.

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 .ST.
