CnEvALIER WIKoFF AND CmEvALlER WEED
AGAIN. Cbevalier Weed, Of Albany, in another
letter from Sardinia, states in addition to the
Wikof story, that that distinguished adventurer
claims to have been diplomatic functionary Of tho
Upitsd States in Europe as well as to possess spe-
cial nfsion on the part of tho New YORK HERALD.
In reply to this, we may state that the only
ton which Chevalier Wikoff ever had with tho New
YORK HERALD, very much resembles the position
which has been frequently occupied to tho Same
journal by Chevalier Barnun, tho Connecticut
humbug, and Chevalier Weed, the master Of the
Albany Office holders slate. At . former period,
We developed the character. adventures, preten.
sions, merits, philosophy, and fun Of Chevalier
WikoG, as we have gratuitouSly performed the
Same service to many other chevaliers In the pro-
sent age. No doubt Chevalier Wikof, and many
other wandering chcvsliers, claim very intimate
acquaintance with the New York HERALD, In
Europe, arising from the fact that throu nout the
whole of the old continent the HERALD Is tho
principal, and sometimes the only, paper from the
United States which is known, or regarded as
authority on any subject.

A SELECTED TALE.
THE INFLUENCE OF WOMAN.
BY CHARLEY cLEwL1NE.

We'd got our pay at last--our six
months Of it-and with bran new uni
forms, shining buttons, bright lace. and
fiashy left shoulder epaulets, dozen OF
Us, and some fifteen more, with only
heed cuffs, and stripes designating
reefefs, were holding a revel one eve
ming at what was at that time the best
hotel in all Texas, the Matagorda
House, in the Young island city OF
Galveston.
We had been at it all day, but by
nine O'Clock in the evening we were a
very select party of naval heroes,
having the hotel, or at least the big
ball room in which we were holding
our orgies, all to ourselves; inasmuch
as;we had long before night become so
perfectly outrageous in our speech and
actions that the modesty of even Gal
weston bellies had taken the alarm, and
some thirty young ladies, who had
honored our naval ball with their pretty
6gure-heads during the entire day,
parted company with Us, and squared
away for home under convoy of the
CLAW hammer, shore-going gentlemen
of heir acquaintance, which had so
ineensed Ms, that we pitched into every
body who remained behind, them or
who wore breadcloth. unornamented
with stripe or naval button, and after
pitching them out through the doors
and windows, We ordered up a fresh
supply of long-necked bottles, the best
HaEanas, and all sorts of edibles, and
hauling up around the half dozen little
tables, which we had lugged in from
q furniture shop across the way, we
vent in to make q night of it.
.Here's to woman; God bless herw

The POETS, CORNER.
The Minister who would Suit All!

&A@S AAAAA&Ao~OA w AAO WVukN 6UAS 1AAA
The people of a certain place
Refused pastor to embrace,
Unless he would undertake
The weather to their minds to make.
The thing was hard you will confess
To be accomplished with success,
And therefore most the charge declined,
BY reason Of the charge enjoined.
At length one wiser than the rest,
A candidate himself professed,
And he did frankly take in hand
To satisfy all their demand.
His word of honor he did give,
And promised, if he did but live,
That they should have, when he was placed,
Such weather as they liked the best.
On this assurance, great and small
Without delay gave him call:
And soon as that was once obtained,
With all despatch he was ordained.
Now, full Of hopes, they all expect
To see his promise take effect;
But, to their disappointment sore,
The weather proved just as before.
g Of this some loudly did complain,
(Now that they thought their hopes were vain)
And now their pastor they accused
That he had grossly them abused.
Some to their pastor straight repaired,
And their complaint to him declared.
He first did gravely repremand
Their bold, impatient demand:
Told them they need not be afraid,
For he'd make good what he had said.
On this, they with submission craved
His pardon, and themselves behaved
With all respect and reverence,
And still in him put confidence.
!" My friends quoth he, " to testify
My readiness to crafty
Your inclination, and TO show
My own veracity also,
Let's call meeting, then, and send
To warn the parish to attend
And, if you please, without delay
We'll for meeting fix the day"
The motion was approved, and so,
They all contented away did go,
Musing or talking by the way
On the Importance OF the day.
TIE day is come-the people meet,
And one another kindly greet;
Enters tic priest among the rest,
Who thus the audience addressed:
My friends, the cause of this our meeting
You all know without repeating;
You'd have the weather as you will
l promised and viii now fulfill.
I must your sentiments consult,
And of the same know the result;
Be pleased then to let me know
How you would have the weather blow?
You, friend--I know not yet your rames--D
Then stood up one" My name is JAMES
what weather chose YOU ?' =" I'm for rain.
You, honest man-what's your name?
Is it not Joila ." The very same"
q Then what say you :" 3" I'm for drought"
" And you. the next--you must speak out
Are you for rain, or for dry weather.?
!" Why, really, sir, I'm for neither.
" For neither, say you--pray what then
You must, my friend yourself explain"
. Temperate weather think best,
" Them says one, :" let the wind blow west )"
j" Nay. from the east, ;" another says,
I'D have il blow for certain days
" My friends . says he, this will not do
Who can give rain and dryness too?
At present you cannot agree;
We therefore must dismiss, ] see.
'Gainst the next meeting make your choice,
Speak your opinion with one voice
Be Of one mind, and then | shall
Give weather that viii please you all. =
