If the trunk manufacturers do not quit making so many thousand valises alike, somehody is going to get into some awful trouble about it some time, nnd some trunk maker will be sued for damages enough to build p eonrt house. 'I be other day an omnibus (nil of pus=en grrs drove up to town from the Union depot. Side hv side sat a commercial trav eler, named William Maeaby, and Mrs. Minnie 0. Dumbleton, the eminent lady tem|ierar'ee lecturer. When the omnibus reached the Barret hon°e the commercial missionary seized his valise and started out The holy made a grub after him, and he halted. ■ I beg your pardon,” she said, ‘‘but you have my vuli-e.” “You ore surely mistaken, madam.” the traveler said, courteously but firmly, “this is mine." ‘‘No, sir,” the lady replied firmlv, “this i« mine. I would know it among a thousand. Yon must not take it.” Hut the traveler persisted nnd the lady insisted, and they came very near quarreling. Presently one of the passengers pointed to u twin valise on the omnibus and risk'd : “Whose is that?” “It isn't mine.” said the traveler, “it is just like it, but this is mine.” “And it isn’t mine,” said the lady, ‘he lias mine, aud I’ll have it or I’ll have the law on him. It’s a pity if a lady can’t travel alone without bring robbed ol her property in broad daylight." Finally the traveler said he would open the valise to prove his property. The lady objected ut first, raying she did not want her valise opened in tire presence of strangers Hut as there was no other means of settling the dispute she at length consented. The traveler sprung the lock, opener! the valise, and the curious crowd bent forward to see. On the very top of everything lay a big flat flask, half full of whiskey, a deck of cards ar.d one or two other things that no bodv knows the name of. The traveler wu# ibe first to recover his aelf-poasesajuu of speech. "Madam,” he says, “you nre right. The valise is yours. 1 owe you a thousand a polo—" Hut Ihr lady had fainted, and the traveler rt locked his valise with a quiet smile.

How Bernhardt Masters flic Situation. During the earliest years of Sara Bern hardt's tame n gentleman in the audience had one night the exceeding bad taste to persist ently hiss Her. She “spotted” him, fount out Lis address, called at Iris house, und had an interview with hint. I wonder how he liked it ? 'I hen and there sLe told him it was always her er deavor conscientiously to do her duty ns a histrionic nrtis* and to plea e the public; that she regretted any thing like failure In the duty, and tbat she should (eel greatly obliged if he would kindly point out tier defects, in order that she might correct them. This spirited conduct won for hr r anoli. r pass inrate admirer. Another dny she read in e. certain Parisian paper the statement that her hair was false, and that h<r teeth were far t o good to he genuine. Next day the dramatic ctitic was amazed to behold a lady dash into his toom, aud let down her hnr i 1 hi* pr sence. “Pull it!” she exclaimed, as she placed a luxuriant tress in one of his hands. “Is this real hair or not ?” “Certainly, certainly,” stammered the man. Catching hol l of his other hand she opened her mouth— but hap pily not to bite—and made him finger her teeth. “Are these false?” shrieked the lady. “No, they are the most beautiful real teeth I ever beheld in tr,“ life," declared the terrified victim, who would willingly have sworn that black was white if it would (rave given bis visitor the satisfaction. “I am Sara Bernhardt,” proclaimed the l idy with as much serenity as she could possibly put into her voice, and the wretched critic made op his mind for the worst. He. too. has pitico become one of her most devoted vassals, though, indeed, I do not know how any man would dare to do anything else.

Her chief fault us » talker was her race-horse rapidity of tongue. Byron ea'ls her society “avalanche.” and Schiller complained that in oriEr to follow iier one had absolutely to convert one’s self wholly into an organ of hearing. The greatest talker of nncient or modern tin.es was unquestionably Samuel Tavlor Udcridge. • lie spun daily.’’ says [)e Quincy, “from the loom of his own magical bruin, gorgeous theories and luxurious images. The value of his discourses lay not so much in the pcsitive knowledge they communicated as the intellectual stimulus they supplied, the spirit of inquiry they pro voked, arid the principles which they re v< aled.” Much ot Coleridge’s eloquence was owing no doubt, to the charm of his manner, ami his voice laid a kind of solemn shake or quiver as he rolled along. But the most brilliant eloquence tires at lust, and even that of the sage failed sometimes of its witching ( fleet upon hearers’ ears. Walter Scott describes a dinner-party at which he was equally bored by a most learned har angue of Colei idge’s and concludes the ac count with the impatient excainntion, ‘•Z»mnds I I never wus so bothumped with words.” To a Touno Lady You think yon love the young man who is coming this Sunday night to visit you.
