V I- ' ., ".. T !? jV $7.00 a Year. Humors of the Pott. Philadelphia Timet. Some people seem to think a post I office carries erery thing. Oily last ; wetk an Italian following the lucra tive business of organ grinding in this city, in which hi was aided and i abetted by a ring-tailed monkey, de- tiding to wind up the mutual affairs and sail for Italy, called at the mon 1 ey-office window and wanted the clerk to forward the monkey to New York The latter declined oi the ground that the monkey was not mail matter ; whereupon the Italian g urn a 'JwarrUt the gowrn ment, reliabla witneaset say, till the Tery rings injbls ears tirixled. This - f is only an instance. Since the zoo logical garden has been established it is not uncommon for the department of reptiles to receive additions from enthusiastic country contributors through the post-office. Several days age a . small dox, aoonc a loot long ' and half a foot wide, arrived from tome out-of-town post-office. It is the duty, of the employes of the post office to examine every closed pack .' age or box that goes through their hands, and it has yet to be recorded when Philadelphia post-office clerks failed in this duty. One of them, in a quick, off hand way, opened the box and looked in. Something like a short, stout whip cord sprang up, bounded out on the floor and ran about the legs of the other clerks. There was one deep and hearty "ugh-oo-oo-oo !" and then every man went for a chair or a table. The snake capered around the floor and had everything his own way for a brief time. Then some superifatu rally brave oue among the party gave the command to charge on him, and between them they cornered . the snake and got him into the box' again. Iniess than an hour later he was, safe at his destination in the i Zoological Garden. "Such things as snakes," said one S of the post-office officials yesterday, f "should not be sent through the post- 2 office. Thev reach ua here through . -r- ; o the inadvertency of country post masters, who sometimes take tnem, not knowing they are ! unmailable matter. When they gethis far we send them to the garden. , Of course there are somethings any postmaster will know enough to refuse. Ele phants and such like, for instance, we never get." Words all of ui Deserve. Xewberniari Waddell was one of the bravest, most faithful and chivalrous repre sentatives we had in Congress. His high and honorable appreciation of the pnrity of woman, caused him to be esteemed wherever a fair face kindled at the story of heroic deed. His firmness in defence of Southern principles, caused him to be recog nized as a valuable Southern leader. His personal courage whenever he stood in the presence of a foe, caused ' him to be trusted and honored by his enemies. And now to think that such a man as this is defeated by such a bully and humbug as Dan Russell and that too by the cold ness and treachery of our own friends! Carteret which stood especially high in Col. WaddeH'8 love and sympathy, gave him only a partial support in other words, damned him with faint praise. The veteran county of Sampson, we understand, did but little for him, and Onslow struck him the unkindest blow of all. Well, gentlemen, you will live to regret it. Bully Russell will give you enough of - his ststesmanship before many moons have waxed and waned, and you will live to lament in sackcloth and ashes the defeat of the gallant and devoted Waddell. A Romantic Wedding. Washington Pof. j Dr. Lchaa Tyler, of Richmond, Va., a son of President Johti; Tyler, married at Mrs. Rhines, 810-12 Twelth street, on the 2d init, by Rev. Dr. Paret. to Miss Georgie, daughter of John W. Powell, of Richmond. On Dr. Tyler's arrival in Washington, a few days previous to his maraiage, he waa taken violent ly ill with congestive chills; His friends in Richmond were notified. and Miss Powell and her parents came on. Although the doctor could not be dres?ed or evea sit up in bed, he insisted upon being, married, and after a little it was decided that it was best hia wishes should be com plied with. During the ceremony he remained wholly conscious, but when it was over sank back on his pillow entirely exhausted. His con dition is yet critical.

A Ueu' "Mrood" at JJuss. A friend of mice has a female gray hound and, a litter of young ones. Now that is nothing extraor dinary, but that she should be assis ted in her maternal duties by an old ben is, I think, a very unusual thing. In the kennel with her is a hen, 4 which has taken to the dogs in a most affectionate way, sitting in the corner with two or three of them con stantly nhder her wing: and, what is still more extraordinary, they know her call, for if they stray away she cackles, and they come back. At present her adopted children are very young; whether shs is j only tto take them for the usual "month' nobody knows, but I fear when they are old enough to accompany hereabout the fields, she will find it difficult to make them partake of tho delicacies she may be able to scratch out of the earth for them, and which would, no doubt, be much appreciated by her own young. At all events, the case is a curious one. Exchange. Every One's Hand Against Her. There was a touching little scene on one of our streets recently, says a Southern exchange. A kind-hearted lady was going to see a sick friend when she heard her name called. Turning she saw a slender girl, dress ed in mourning, advancing toward her. As the child came nearer the lady recognized in her the daughter of a neighbor who had died the day before near the city. The little girl threw her arms about the lady, and sobbing, cried : "You aren'taf raid of me, are you" Nodear," was the soothing reply. "Everybody else is," said the poor S a i - , m i . cb.ua. "ihey won t comeiear meu because papa died of the fever, and we were with him, mamma and I." The little girl's heart was stung by thechilling repulsion which came to her in so deep a sorrow."

R.;told Col. that evening what Wiley had said. .The next day the Colonel found Wiley and R, to gether, and said; to there., emphatic cally, 'I intend to se ,jpu both buried." Sure enough, sometime after R. died, and the Colonel rode: fourteen miles, to the funeral, and as it happesed, about a year following,1 Sheriff Wiley stopped all night" on his way north to have an operation performed on "his throat ; he was in low spirits and very delicate health, and was sitting brooding - over his condition,' when the colonel popped in about half seas over, and hailed him with, "Oh, yes, confound you. I've seen R. buried, and now I'm after you !" It made Wiley so ner vous he didn't sleep a wink that night. But he recovered his health and he and the colonel are still en joying life. A Leisurely Poet.

He keeps a print ing press, and has his poems set in type, line upon line. Imagine what a nice, leisurely time the poet must have strolling about on his lawn smoking cigars, with that eccentric Texan hat of his slouched over his moody brow composing. a verse a day ! Perhaps if some of our prolific American poets would try the verse- a day plan they miglit get something like the prices the poet laureate re ceives. Lot them try it a day or two, any way.

The following is the crop report of the Savannah Cotton Exchange for October : I ' Georeria The weather has' been cleaft during the past month, and great progress made in securing the crop. It,has been one of the most favorable seasons for gath ering cotton that has been known. Slight frosts appeared several successive nights about. the twentieth ult., but no damage was done, except in a few of the northern counties of the State. Picking .will be generally finished about December let, unless it is delayed by a product from the second growth. There is, however, quite a diversity of opinion concerning what is to be realized therefrom. The estimated three-quarter crop has been gathered, and an unusually large percentage of it been marketed. The yield of the State will be larger than that of last year. It is now estimated that- the increase-. will be from five to eight per cent., and this estimate & more Ukely to.be increased than lessened; when all the crop is gathered. FLORIDA.

Mr. Evarts dispatches are concerned with what are apparently rather an antiquate subject, a fishermens quarrel of the cost of New foundland, in January last, and payment of the Halifax award which arbitration was an nounced nearly twelve months ago. What evee may be the cause of the Newfound land dispute it can have .no bearing upon the payment or nou payment of the Hali fax award. That must be determined upon by the American people upon general principles of honor and-equality, and with out reference to subsequent disputes about other matters. r. . Loudon'i New Lord Mayor.

He declared that the governments opinion was that an invasionof India was hardly practicable as a base of operations of any possible foe was so remote. It .was. their northwestern frontier of India that was not scientifically sounded, and possibly a foe might be able to cause embarrassment by compelling us to maintain a large and expensive force thereon. This possible evil had occupied the attention of successive administrations, circumstances arising which forced it on the immediate attention of the, government. . v ' '," Seized by Pirates.
