We understand tint it is the intention of Miss
Cushman, the eminent American tragedian, to return
this autumn to her native land. A sojourn of nearly
five years on this side of the Atlantic, marked with
the most brilliant and permanent successes, sends this
gifted artist back to the scenes of htr early profes-
sional struggles, not alone with the stamp of Euro-
pe an fame upon her genius, universally as that has
been accorded, but with the warm admiration and
respect of enlightened circles, who, seeking the artist,
found the woman yet more worthy of homage and
estee-m. Miss Cushtnan's family having finally settled
in England, we are happy to learn that her stay in
America will be but for a time, and we cannot doubt
that the warmth of her reception here, where she
came unheralded and unknown, will find an echo in
the cities of her native country, where the trumpet-
blast of fame has long enshrined her as the greatest
actress of the age. Miss Cushman will be accom-
panied by her fi lend, the novelist and translator,
Matilda M. Hays, from whom we shall look for
fresh tidings of the New World.

A TREAD-WHFELED COACH.—We have already
had schemes for the complete inversion of the railwaysystem, with wheels on the sideway and rails on the
train—so that no one rit ed now be surprised to hear
of an inversion of the old jog-trot highway system,
with the horses riding in the coach, while the pas-

mgers are harnessed to the axle. Such is literally

Should he " guess," write him down a Yankee ; does
he " reckon," you may swear him a Southern. The
Yankee " guesses," the Southern " reckons." Per contra,
however, the Yankee " calculati s," and pretty shrewdly
also, while the Sc uthern " allows." The one " wouldn't
wonder" if some expected event should take place, while
the other, more ardent and careless of assertion, "goes
his death upon it" that it vi ill. To the latter, drawing his
comparison from his idolised rifle, a thing is " as sure as
shooting," while to the former, more pious, or more hypo-
critical, it is "as sarrin as preachin. The one will be
darned," and the other " derned," both evading an
oath in nearly the same manner. Should this assevera-
tion require additional force, the Northern man will
be " gaul darned," and the Sow hern " dod darned"—
