A little fellow the other day in a crowd cried out
" Hurrah for Harrison 1" at which a Van Buren man ex-
claimed angrily, " Hurrah for a jack ass 1"—" That's
right," said the boy, "you hurrah for your candidate, and
I hurrah for mine."—New York Paper.

THE DUKE.—A novel under this name, of
which the scene is laid in the present day, will be imme-
diately published. The story is based on the contrasted
fortunes of two branches of a noble family—the one, liv-
ing in pomp and luxury, and the other groaning under the
complicated evils of poverty. In the singular incidents
arising from closeness of relationship and diversity of social
position, much of the interest of the story will be found to
consist ; and the authoress, with the fine tact of her sex,
has taken advantage of this anomalous juxtaposition to
bring into strong light the condition of the human heart as
rn,ditied by the artificial influence of high rank and fa-
shion.

As a gentleman was bathing on Friday morning
in the Serpentine river, in Hyde-park, he nearly met with
his death under the following singular circumstances :
It 'appears that Mr. Ashton, tailor, of No. 17, Pall mall,
is in possession of a very large and sagacious Newfound-
land dog, and the gentleman, who is a friend of Mr. Ash-
ton's, took the dog with him on going to bathe, for the
purpose of exercising him in the water. The gentlemen
having stripped himself of his clothes, plunged into the
water and swam towards the centre of the stream, followed
by the dog. The animal seeing the gentleman swimming
about in the water supposed he was drowning, swam di-
rectly towards the spot, seized the hair of his head in his
mouth, and, elevating his head considerably above the
water, proceeded to drag him towards the shore. The
gentleman became excessively alarmed, and struggled vio-
lently to get away, but the dog resolutely kept his hold.
This strange contest continued for some minutes in the
water until the gentleman was quite exhausted. An alarm
