The surprise of Hop Sing was only equaled by hla Indignation when, on awaking one morning, he found a gang of coolies upheaving the newly flagged atreet. His aurprlse grew when he heard from the tug tularin's own lips that the men were *hwr* m his orders, “You see, my dear friend,’’ said mandarin, “1 am expecting the head inspector round here in a few days.

One a# MrtiurCn Ouaimkli Mozart, being once on n visit at Mrti> nellies, went incognito to bear the per¬ formance of bis “Villnnella Itapita.” He bud reason to be tolerably well satisfied, till, in the midst of the prin clpal aria, the orchestra,, through some error in the copying of the score, sounded a D natural where the com poser had written It sharp. This sub¬ stitution did not injure the harmony, hut gave a conmiouplace character to the phrase, ami obscured the sentiment of the composer. Mozart no sooner heard It than he started up vehemently, and, from tin; middle of the pit. cried out in a vdea of thunder: “Will you play D tmarp, you wretches?" The sensation produced In the th -atec may be imagined. The actors were astounded, the lady who was singing stopped short, the orchestra followed her example, and the audience, with loud exclamations, demanded the ex pulsion of the offender. He was nc cordlngly seized, and required to uantu himself. He did m, and at the name* of Mozart the clamor subsided, and was succeeded by shouts of applause from nil sides. It was insisted that the opera should be recommenced. Mozart was Install¬ ed lu the orchestra, and directed thq whole performance. This time tin; T) sharp was played in Its propei, place, apd the musicians themselves were surprised at the superior effect pro duced.

"No,” said Mr. Portoecue Harrison. “1 am no longer in parliament, ami l have now much pleasure In refusing to subscribe the shilling which in former days 1 should have been obliged to give. What I have suffered through Burns heaven alone can tell! First. 1 had to praise hint to the most fulsome manner, without hav.ug read Ills works. Then 1 had to learn to recite portions of his poems by heart, ahd in doing so to give the versos as much as possible with a Hcotch accent. 1 have had to walk without my bat and with the rain pouring down upon my unprotected head as leader of a procession In hon¬ or of Burns, and under these ctrcum Btances I refuser with genuine delight to give n shilling or any smaller sum to the object you have lu view.” The I.acleaf Mnn, The laziest man In‘ North America discovered himself the other evening in the swell bachelor apartments not far from Lafayette square where he Uvea.
