Tnal's the way it goes,—Scott spots ’em and his Honor bleeds ’em. Ha.vdsome Pkesemt.—Onr friend, Ed. M.

Scovilie & Seldon, of the Arlington House. We know of no reason why these gentlemen should have made him such a handsome and costlv present, unles.s it was an expression of tiieir deep gratification at the fiict tliat as Ed. is about going to house-keeping, tiie Arlington will no longer have to bear the cost ofboardmg him, wiii.sh his friends assert was largely over the price charged him. We have lieard it suggested that a barrel of pig’s heads woidd have been a more appropri ate, present and none who have ever witnessed Ed s peribnnance in the gasironomic line., when that article of food was in question, will doubt that it would have been at least as ac- cejitable.—Danviile A’eu-s. e are not prejiareil to endorse the ATw.v’ gasironomic story, but we do k?ioiv tiiat broth er Pace lias a big .soul, as evideneed by the liiely iiitere.st he lias ever evinced in belualf of the .JoUKN.Ai,.

W.mill it not be well for some enter prising spirit to start a Gymnastic School in some coiivemeut place, thus affording to our young people innoce it amu.sej.ent and wliole- »om- physical iniprovenvint at, a trifling cost, rather t'uan spending the'r idle time in other more doubtful and dangc.'ous places. An hour each day or evening spent in a school of this character is worth more to cither gentle men or ladies than scores of doctor’s s'uff or the rash ami unbalanced amusements of the d'ly.
