Gum-arabic only having been ued and that too on the edges and in pots on the stamps for the purpose as it would seem, to allow removal for tliipment back to the factory for use. The stamps came off without difficulty. Second, the confusion shown in caution notice as to number of factory.

Thus he was thwarted. And it was proven in tho trial that he had a matia on the subject of watching the slow but sure process of " whisky taken on an empty stomach.' Watch oat, ladies.

The ad monition was then delivered in Hebrew, which concluded the marriage. taT" A little old man in St. Loins met Daniel Webster in his tour through that city in 1837. We let tho Boston Commercial tell the rest : With the crowd that pressed forward to greet him came a wizened-up old man of diminui tive stature, limping and elbowing his way up as best he could. Mr. ouster, seeing him so earnest and vet so feeble, had compassion on him, aud bending forward and reaching out his hand as if to inspire confidence, said in a loud, clear voice, "I hopo you are verj- well, sir." " No, I ain't well at all. Mr. Web ster," was the quick reply of the little man in a shrill, squeaking voice, as he looked up into tho beaming face of tho speaker, " 1 ve got the rheumatics tn my jints, but my wife has bound up my shins with roasted myuns (onions) and red flannels, and I've jest come out to take a look at ye and shake hands with ve." He would have continued tho story of his personal infirmities no one knows how long, but the halting and impatient crowd pressed the little man forward and out of sight, but Mr. Web ster could not forget the ludicrous inci dent which almost moved Jnm to un seasonable and irrepressible laughter. i-Sf' We do trust that tee icill hear no more mention of-the old people un til a thorough airing has been given to this article that we clip from the Wash ington Star: The parents and grand parents of Gen.

In Van Smith's restaurant the other morning, says the Vallejo Independent, he was discussing the doc trine of Papal infallibility from a Pro testant standpoint, one hand was toying with a remarkably strong gin cocktail, while the other was gestionating to the crowd around him. His argument was about as follows: "You will at once admit, after a careful investigation of the claims of Pope Pius IX. to stand on an equal footing with tho power of ou divine Creator, that his bull announcing the new dogma of infallibility was a brutum fulmen or, in other words, telum imbelle sine ictu. Tho crowd nodded assent. Tell 'um what?" inquired an old toper, looking over (he top ol his glass. " lelum imoelie sine tctu, my dear friend, is Latin, and means, ' A feeble weajwn thrown without effect,' " es, yesunc), exclaimed the toper, " I know what that means, but dis (hie) remember the application of the first one. " That's Lati n , too' ' repl led the darkey, "and means a 4 feeble thunderbolt.' Gentlemen, I really owe this crowd an apology for indulging in snatches of the languages, out ior years gone oy ineir contemplation has been so delightful to bring my mind into direct contact with the buried past that at time, upon occa sions of excitement, or ia the heat of argument, I thoughtlessly allow myself to eive utterance to my thoughts in a dead language unknown to most of you. It is with regret that 1 hnd myself so much under the inllueuce of wine as to T 1 give utterance to worus wmcn come trom a language now, i am sorry to say, I A 1 1 .1 a3 utterly ueiunci anu useless as tue bones of Alexander s dead, which cen turies ago withered upon tho Grecian battlefields." (Here, several old topers who had the glasses nearly to their mouths gaped the wider and looked at him in amazement.)

The old toper remarked, as he looked wistfully after the retreating man's form : " Blamed if he don't beat all the smurt niggers I ever saw."

The Newbern Republic says: We un derstand that the Pantomime with the addition of acted Charades and new music is to be repeated at the theatre on Wednesday. Janauschek will appear in Wilming ton the last of this month. The Rich mond Dispatch says of her:. In Mary Stuart, Janauschek is a queen ; in De borah she is the outcast Jewess ; but in both she commands the highest admi ration. It is hard to say in which drama she excels. i Carlotta Patti has been offered by tele graph from Havana $20,000. gold, for ten performances, but a previous engage ment with her manager. Max Strakosch, compels her to decline this offer. The present will be the last season of the celebrated cantatrice in public. She retires to private life after this engage ment. One of Lucca s little weaknesses is jealousy professional iealousv. ' She does not like to bear iNiisson's name meutioued, and as for Adelina Patti, she cannot abide her. She takes it as particularly hard that the latter has' married a" Marquis a real Marquis, whereas she only married a Baron, and only a German Baron at that. As for dresses, Lucca cares comparatively little for it. She has a fair middling ward robe, and some passable diamouds, but that is all. She is perhaps the poorest of all the great jirima donnas, and the most industrious and the most unas suming, perhaps the most genuinely popular certainly the most devoutly religious, attending mass regularly, aud always crossing herself and committing herself to the Virgin Mother before she goes on tho stage. E. L. Davenport played as Hover in the comedy of Wild Oats." The Rich mond Whitj says : The play last night was O'Keefe's dashing comedy of " Wild Oats,:" originally in five acts, but now condensed into three. The plot is de lightfully ingenious, and full of Sur prises. Sir George Thunder marries an humble woman, has a son by her (Hover.) and then deserts her and his child. Hover becomes in time a stroll ing actor. Sir George marries a second time, and has a son, Harry whom he designs shall marry his rich niece. Hover, however, encounters this lady, does her a favor, and while declining her thanks, makes an impression on her. By a series of theatrical accidents, Hover subsequently, with the aid of Harry marries her. Before he is known, how ever, to sir George, he goes on me neia to fight a duel with him. It ends as all vounir ladies would nave a novel or a plavend. with matrimony and recon ciliation. KALEIGrll MARKETS. COTTON MARKETS!. By Ceorge T. Stronach &.
