Tom Tunwell is n gcnius-a capital
genius-tor genius is his only capital.
His is Of that class called by fnnncicrs
"Acating," in contradis,inction to funded,
and hence he is enabled to get swimming
ly along. In aliment he is an cpicurc,
prcferring fluids to solids, and though not
of the non-resistnnt or quaker creed, is
frequently moved by the spirit. He des.
pises ,oady, butlovcs toddy, and as a
kind Of satisfaction for tho slings which
outrageous fortune is ever making at him,
nc is in the frequent habit of tossing off
gin sings. Debts, he says, are the pe-
culiar privileges Of gent; .mcn. The
only one which lie ever means 10 nay is
the debt of nature, and before doing that,
he will claim as many days gruce us It's
possible for him 10 obtnin. He thinks
there must be something shamefully
wrong in the structure Of society," when
the letter of a member Of Congress can 10
free from one end of the country to the
other.
Entertaining these peculiar ideus, it ia
not q matter Of wonder if Tom sometimes
finds his way to the culaboose, or if some
obtrusivc cicerone, in the stupc ofa watch
man, would involuntary conduct him
there. Tom was noticed last night, sit.
ting on the soft side Oft plnnk, opposite
the new Municipal Hall, indulging in one
Of his peculiar fuminations on the events
ofthe day.-"They calls this tho nge Of
inventions, said Tom, but why does not
