ANECDOTE OF DUMAs.-A little
anecdote is going the rounds, that
shows the author of Monte Christie
to be more of a democrat than the
Trois Mousquctaires would lead one
to suppose.
Alexander Dumas, with two friends
was boating one day lately on the
Seine. Dumas rowed, one friend
smoked, the other philosophical.
dts very hot" says one.
'1'm very thirsty" says Dumas,
"and here's a little grog shop, let's go
in." 1t was agreed, they stepped
ashore, and whilst the companions
loitered behind to fasten the boat,
Dumas entered the cabaret.
There was one room only, and one
table in it, that was occupied by
fellow in a smock frock. He him.
self was lolling at full length on the
solitary bench.
Il beg your PARDON" says Dumas,
"a little room, friend, if you please"
"What do you mean? room! it's
my table, and my bench"
"There's not much liberality, and
still less fraternity in that notion"
''Perhaps so: but it's the fact"
"Give me leave to call for bottle
and take drink with you"
IL don't drink with chance comers-
in."
"Ihe dell you don't! you're proud,
eh?"
proud, or not, | only tipple with
my equals, you old Mulatto!"
The word was scarcely uttered,
when a vigorous crack on the head
sent the impudent rascal sprawling
under the table.
"What's all this about?" cried one
of the party coming in. "What are
you doing there"
"Oh! nothing, nothing" replied
Dumas, sitting quietly down, II am
only democratizing an aristocrat!"

The COURSE OF TRADE.-The
L4Oe.lo ~ 0o,,liioel al .tlO uOuAoO OI
an article designed to show the in
fucnce which the newly constructed
railroads of this country have upon
Western affairs, says:
'New Orleans is already beginning
to find that she permitted the North
to steal march on her, and is strug-
Cling now to change the path of des-
tiny, but we think she is too late in
her efforts. The climate of New
York and Boston is much better
adapted to the preservation of most
of the products of the west than the
tropical heat of New Orleans. Flour,
bacon, pork, tobacco, &c must do
much better, generally, in New York
and Boston, than in the South, and
the salutary experience derived from
the RAILROADS of Ohio and New York
will not encourage shippers to look
back. Large quantities of western
produce, which formerly went to New
Orleans, now prefer northern mar
1et, and find it great advantage to
do so. MIR. Stone, the accomplished
superintendent of the Cincinnati, Co
lumbus and Cleveland railroad, in
forms us that it is not an uncommon
occurrence for one hundred hogs
heads of tobacco to pass daily over
his road on its way to New York.
Commerce has made quite a revolu-
ton, under the marshalling of rail-
road whistle, and it is not probable
that this revolution will so back
wards"

He who is astonished is half sub
dued. Each absurdity you get peo-
pie to swallow prepares them for
greater. The man who gapes at

turn priest to believe that he is con-

blockhead who imagines that
bought prayer will do his potatoe
patch more good than top-dressing
of manure, finds no difficulty in at
tributing the rot IN his sheep to his
not having paid tythes to a conse-
Grated extortioner who denounces

we say, if you would mislead your
fellow creatures, astonish them.

AN EDITOR IN THE BLUES The editor
of the Saratoga (N. Y. } Republican pours
forth his lamentations:
"Having made precisely money enough
at the printing business, the subscriber is
satisfied to give up and retire to the poor
house. Under these circumstances, he is
induced to offer the printing establish
ment of the Saratoga Republican for sale.
The paper has circulation ofabout 1000
-one-fourth of which may be called pay
ing, and the other three-fourths non-pay-
ing patrons. The office has a good varie-
ty of job type, and fair run Of work of
this description, provided the work is
done at the reduced New York prices,
and the printer will take "cats and dogs"
for pay. This village is one of the pret-
test places in the world for a newspaper
publisher. Everybody will find fault, do
the best you can, and the editor who plea
ses himself will stand but a slim chance
of pleasing anybody else. The subscrip-
ton list and good will of the office will
be thrown in, if the purchaser will take
the type, presses and materials for what
they are worth, and pay for them, so that
there will be no probability of the present
proprietor being obliged to take the estab-
lishment back and stick to the business"
LONDON REroRTER.-Proby had
never been out of London, never in
boat, never on the back of ii horse TO
the end of bag-wigs he wore a bag. He
was the last man that walked with cane
as long as himself, ultimately exchanged
for an umbrella which he was never seen
without, in wet weather or dry; yet he
usually reported the whole debates in the
Peers from memory, without a note, for
the Morning Chronicle, and wrote two or
three novels depicting the social manners
of the times! He was strange feeder,
and ruined himself in eating pastry at the
shops (for one of whose
scores Taylor and bailed him,) he was
ol...~,-.- -, ,.-,-->.:.,-:~. -~.l,.,~o Gnn~~n
Colman christened him "King Porus;"
and he was always so punctual to
minute, that when he arrived in sight of
the office window, the cry used to be,
"There's Proby-it's half-past two," and
vet he never set his watch. If ever it
came to right time cannot tell; but if
you asked him what O'Clock it was, he
would look at it and calculate something
of this sort: 81 am twenty-six minutes
past seven-four, twenty one from twelve,
forty-it is just three minutes past three"
Poor, strange, and simple, yet curiously-
informed Proby! His last domicie was
the Lambeth parish workhouse, out of
which he would come in its coarse, gray
garb, and call upon his friends as freely
and unceremoniously as before, to the
surprise of servants, who entertain can
'orrid" jealousy of paupers, and who
could not comprehend why a person so
clad was shown in The last letter had
from him spoke exultingly Of his having
been chosen to teach the young children
in the house their A B Cs, which confer
