ftlisttHflng. THJ ARTFUL touch. ..Qne of the most beautiful things that ever “’.is lone, perhaps, said Inspector Wield, emphasising the adjective, as preparing us to expect dexterity or ingenuity rather than strong interest, “was a move ol Ser jeant Witchems. It was a lovely idea! . , ‘•VVitebem and me were down at Ensom one Derby Day, waiting at tie station for the Swell Mob, As i mentioned, when we were talking about these things before, we are read y nt the station when there’s races, or an Agricultural Show, or a Chancellor sworn in for an uni versity, or Jenny Lind, or anything of that sort ; and as the Swell Mob come down, we send ’em back again by the next train. But some of the Swell Mob, on the occasion of this Derby that 1 refer to, so far kiddied us as to hire a horse and shay ; start away from London by Whitechap el, and miles round, come into Ep som from the opposite direction ; and go to work, right and left, on he course, whiie we were waiting or ’em at the Rail. That, howev er, ain’t the point of what I’m go ing to tell you. “ While Witelmm and me were waiting at the station, there coines up one Mr. Tatt; a gentleman for merly in the public line, quite an amateur Detective in his way, and very much respected. ‘Halloa, Charley Wield,’ he says. ‘What are vou doing here ? On the look out for some of you old friends?’ ‘Yes, the old move, Mr. Tatt.’ — ‘Come along,’he s;i}’s, ‘you and Witchem, and have a glass of sher ry.’ *We can’t stir from the place,’ says I, ‘ till the next train comes in ; but after that, we will with pleasure.’ Mr. Tatt waits, and the train comes in, and then Witchem and rne gooff with him to the Hotel. Mr. Tatt he’s got up quite regardless of ex pense, for the occasion ; and in his shirt-front there’s a beautiful dia mond prop, cost him fifteen or twen ty pound—a very handsome pin in deed. We drink our sherry at the bar, and have had our three or four glasses, when Witchem cries, sud denly, ‘Look out, Mr. Wield ! stand fast!’ and a dash is made into the place by the swell mob—four of em—that have cone down as T tell you, and in a moment Mr. Tatt’s prop is gone ! Witchem, he cuts ’em off at the door, J lay about me as hard as 1 can, Mr. Tatt shows like a good ’un, and there we are, all down together, heads and heels, knocking about on the floor of the bar—perhaps you never see such a scene of confusion ! However, we stick to our men (Mr. Tatt being as good ns any officer,) and we lake ’em all, and carry ’em off to the sta tion. The station’s full of people, who have been took on liie course ; and it’s a precious piece of work to get ’em ; but nothing’s found upon ’em, secured and they are locked up ; and a pretty state of heat we are in by thattime, 1 assure you! “ I was very blank over it, myself, to think that the prop had been passed away ; and 1 said to Witch em, when we had set ’em to rights, and were cool ing ourselves along with Mr. Tatt, we don’t take much by this move, anyway, for nothing’s found upon ’em, and it’s only the bragadocia* after all.’ ‘ What do you mean, Mr. Wield ?’ says A\ itchem. ‘ Here’s the diamond pin !’ and in the palm of his hand, there it was, safe and sound! ‘Why in the name of wonder,’ says me and Mr. 1 alt. in astonishment,‘how did you come by that?’ ‘l’ll tell how I come by it,’ says he. ‘I saw which of em took it; and when we were all down on the floor together, knocking about, I just gave him a little touch on the back of his hand, as I knew his pal would; and he thought it was his pal; and gave it me!’ It was beautiful, beau-ti-ful! “Even that was hardly the best of the cas’, for that chap was tried at the Quarter Sessions at Guildford. You know what Quarter Sessions are, Sir? Well, if you’ll believe me, while them slow justices were looking over the Acts of Pailiament to see what they could do to him Em blowed if he didn’t cut out of the dock before their faces ! He cut out of the dock, Sir, then and there ; swam across a river ; and got up into a tree to dry himself. °l n the tree he was took—an old woman havmg seen him climb up-and Witchem s artful touch transported * Three months’ imprisonment as reputed thieves. Fast. —The word “/as?” i s as m-eat a contradiction as we have in the language. The Delaware was fast because the ice was immovable* and the ice then disappeared fast, for the contrary reason; it was loose. A clock is called fast when it goes quicker than time ; but a man is told to stand fast when he is de fined to remain stationary. People ast when they have nothing to eat ; and eat fast, consequently, when opportunity offers to eat. Happy Epithet . —Lord Erskine, speaking ot animals, and hesita ting to call them brutes, hit up on a happy phrase—the mute cre ation. ANECDOTE OF JENNY LIND. A correspondent of the New York Herald relates the following anec dote of this wonderful cantatrice, and no less wonderful woman : “ From Stockholm Jenny Lind went fora short time to the Springs at Ems, and tlier.ee proceeded to Schlangenbad, on her way to En gland. A town of some importance lay in her route, and it was not only known that she must pass through this town, but information had also reached some personal friends of hers residing there, that she would tarry with them three or four days. The announcement of this fact of course created great excitement.— A couple of amusement mongers in the town hired the only public hall there, and fitted it up in anticipation of engaging the Swedish Nightin gale for a concert. They even went so far as to sell several hundred tickets, at exorbitant prices, for the concert in embryo. As soon as Jenny arrived this pair of specula tors called on her, and enquired what they should pay for her servi ces one night at a concert. “1 do not wish to sing for you,” replied Jenny Lind. “But we will pay you liberally for your services.” “I do not wish to sing tor you,” replied Jenny Lind. “We have already engaged and fitted up a ball, and sold tickets at high prices, jind will pa}’you 53,000 to sine; for us one night.” “I cannot sing for you.” “Name your own price—we will give it.’’ “1 will not sing for you,” was the inexorable reply of Jenny Lind. The gentlemen could scarcely conceal their indignation as they re marked, “this decision of yours, Mademoiselle, almost ruins us. We have expended several hundred dollars in decorating the hall, and making arrangements for a concert, at which we had no doubt you would sing.” Jenny Lind immediately counted out seven hundred dollars, and pla ced it in their bands, at the same time expressing a hope that they were satisfied, “inasmuch,” she ad ded, “as your arrangements have been made without rnv knowledge or consent.” The managers expressed them selves satisfied, and withdrew. The next day Jenny Lind an nounced a concert for the benefit of in that town. The receipts amounted to several thousand dol • lars, every farthing of which was devoted to chanty. Eccentric amia bility ! We have lost poor Balzac at last, writes the Paris Correspondent of the London Atlas, in spite of the hope that bad been held out to us so long, that the faculty of Paris would be able to master the disease that had baffled the skill of so many Con tinental doctors. His has been, in deed, a life of trial and privation ; the struggle against penury, which had begun in childhood, had been just ended when death has called him from the enjoyment of the only indulgence he had ever prayed for, and one tor which he had been toil ingall his life in vain—relief from the pressure of debt and the pur suit of duns. It would seem as if his whole existence had been de creed by Providence to serve as an illustration of the vanity of all earth ly wishes. No sooner had the mor al suffering been made to cease by his marriage with the wealthy Prin cess Rudweski, than he became a martyr to the physical agony of the disease which must have been smouldering for years. The whole literary world attended his funeral, and the greatest and most glorious supporters of modern French litera ture carried him to his grave. Victor Hugo pronounced the funeral ora tion amid the tears of those who had shared alike poor Balzac’s poverty and his triumph. His illness had created the greatest interest in Paris, and not .a name of renown in any class of society but was found writ ten in his porter’s book before his death. Poets, authors, ambassa dors, statesmen, and princes, all rushed to display their sympathy upon this occasion of public anxie ty. Every name of note was signed at his door—save that of Prince Louis Bonaparte—which clearly shows that our suspicions of his am bition are all ill-founded, and that he does not seek to imitate his un cle, who was so courteous to men of letters, but holds to originality in some things at least. Perhaps amongst all the authors of our day none will go down to posterity but Balzac. His ideas were grand and majestic, and his bold attacks upon the vices and follies of society con stant and unwearied. As the great est proof of his excellence as an author, may be mentioned the dis tinction which he shared with the great Moliere ; he was refused ad mittance to the Academie. Mechanical dufy. —Schiller used to say, that he found the great hap piness of life, after all, to consist in the discharge of some mechanic duty. The most necessary talent in a man of conversation, is a good ‘.udgement.— Steele. GEORGE SBLWYN’S BON-MOTS. On another occasion, in 1756, ob serving Mr. Ponsonby, the Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, tossing; about bank-bills at a hazard table at New market—“ Look how easily the Speaker passes the mo ney-bills.” The beautiful Lady Coventry was exhibiting to him a splendid new dress, covered with large silver spangles the sizeofa shilling, and inquired of him whether he admir ed her taste —“Why,” said he, “you will be change for a guinea.” One night at White’s, observing the Postmaste<irgeneral, Sir Everard Fawkener, losing a large sum of money at piquet, pointing to the successful player, he remarked— “ See how he’s robbing the mail!” A namesake of Charles Fox hav ing been hung at Tyburn, Fox in quired of Selwyn, whether he had attended the execution “No, I make a point of never frequenting rehear sals .” A fellow-passenger in a coach, imagining from his appearance that he was suffering from illness, kept wearying him with good-natured inquiries as to the state of his health. At length to the repeated question of “How are you now, sir?” Sel wyn replied—“Y r ery well, I thank you ; and I me m to continue so for rest the of the journey.” He was one day walking with Lord Pembroke, A when they were besieged by a number ol young chimney-sweepers, who kept pla guing them for money ;at length Selwyn made them a low bow—“l have often,” he said, “heard of the sovereignty of the people; I sup pose your highnesses are in court mourning.”— Edinburgh Review. m Pope's Compliments. —Nothing ev er exceeded Pope’s compliments, in delicacy or elegance. Charles Lamb said they were the finest ever paid by the wit of man / that each of them is worth an estate for 1 ife. What can be finer, or more art fully constructed, than that to Lord Con bury : “Would ye be blessed ? despise low !oys low gains ; Disdain whatever Conbury disdains ; Be virtuous, uud be happy for your pains.” And that masterly one to Lord JVfansfieid: ‘•Conspicious scene ! another yet is nigh, (More silent far,) where kings and poets lie ; Where Murray, (long enough his country’s pride,) Shall be no more than Tully or than Hyde.” And with what a fine turn of in dignant flattery he addresses Lord Boliugbroke: “Why rad they then, if but one wreath of mine. Oh! all accomplished St. John! deck thy shrine ?” Discoursing of the “ruling pas sion,” he says to Lord Cobhain : “And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath, Shall feel your ruling passion strong iu death Such in those moments, as in all the past, ; ‘Oh ! save my country, Heaven !’ slmllbe your liut.” Speaking of his grotto, (one of Pope’s miserable affectations), he takes occasion to pay two very pret ty compliments to Bolingbroke and Lord Peterborough. “There my retreatthe be6t companions grace, Chiefs out of war, and statesmen out of place : There St. John mingles with my friendly bowl, The feast of reason and the flow of soul: And he, whose lightning pierc’d th’ Iberian lines, Now forms my quincunx, and now ranks my vines; Or tames the genius of the stubborn plain, Almost ns quickly as he conquered Spain. Oan there be any doubt,after read ing these, whether Pope was a great poet or not ? “ Every Man's House His Castle .” —The following is Lord Chatham’s brilliant illustration of the celebra ted maxim in English law, that ev ery man’s house is his castle : “ The poorest man may in his cot tage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter, the rain may enter —but the king of England cannot enter ! all his forces dare not cross the thresh old of the ruined tenement! ” Bores. —lt is to be hoped that, with all the modern improvements, a mode will be discovered of getting rid of bores ; for it is too bad that a poor wretch can be punished for stealing you pocket-handkercheif or gloves, and that no punishment can be inflicted on those who steal your time, and with it your temper and patience, as well as the bright thoughts that might have entered in to your mind, (like the Irishman who lost the fortune before he had got it,) but were frightened away by the bore.— Byron. Action. —lndolence is a delightful but distressing state ; we must be doing something to be happy. Ac tion is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.— Hazlitt. American Ice. —Sydney Smith, in London, was shown a lump of Amer ican ice, upon which he remarked, “ that he was glad to see any thing solvent come from America.” One of the sublimest things in the world, is plain truth !— Bulwer. CITY HOTEL, BAY-STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. THE Undersigned avails himself of this method of returning his thanks to his pations and the pub lic generally, for the very liberal support he has received since he has taken charge of this well known House; and he begs to assure those who may favor him with a call, that he will exert him self to the utmost to give full satisfaction.

FLOYD HOUSE, MACON, GEORGIA. THE proprietor most respectfully returns his thanks to his friends and the travelling public, for the unparalleled patronage received by him during his administration over the above estab lishment, and hopes by renewed and unremitting efforts to please, to merit the very liberal encour agement that has been lavished upon him for the last ten months. And heis enabled to do this from the fact that the FLOYD HOUSE is the most eligible house in the place of its location, or in fact ever can be. It has more front than all the houses of the kind in Macon put together, having four hundred and twenty feet, and standing on the corner of two of the most fashionable streets iu the city, where those wishing it, can have a fiont room at any time.
