=" Philadelphia had better " cave right
in'' at once. 1t is but waste of powder and
shot, the hopeless attempt to keep "that Mint"
longer on the banks Of the Delaware. What
possible chance is there for the Quaker City,
when the Fathers Of the New York Common
Council declare they will positively carry the
war into Africa. The valor of the Friends, we
predict, will only resuls in another Punic war,
ending in general knocking under TO the Rum
'uns of Gotham. Additional forces have been
hurried to the seat of war at Washington, in
the shape of four members to the Corporation
committee from the Boards Of Aldermen. Messrs.
Ring, Rogers, Ward and Peck, are the new
champions. What chance have Philadelphians
against such brilliant diplomats Friends, you
had better do as the coon is said to have done
when he saw Capt. Scott's rifle suspiciously
pointed towards the tree on which he had sought
refuge come down" Be generous while you
have chance, and make present of the "coin
shop to New York. 1t will look liberal and
dignifod in the eyes of the world.
*s* Since the photographic excursions
in armed vessels to the Japanese waters have
been talked of in and out of Congress, many Gu
rious stories are told of the mysterious people
inhabitipg the sealed Empire Among them,
one touches our tea-drinking mothers, and the
Z. L. Snow Social Union, particularly. It runs
in this wise :-''The tea of Japan is highly pri-
zed but their mode of drinking it is peculiar.
The leaves are reduced to a very fine powder,
which is put into box. The cups Of the com
pany, when the beverage is to be served, are
filed with het water. The box is then offered to
the guests, who take out as much as will lay on
the point of apretty large knife, stir it up till it
foams, and drink it hot" AS the pic mic season
is rapidly approaching, temperance people would
do well to preserve the above extract. Who
knows but tea a Ia Japan, may soon be in vogue
among our people, that is, after the "hydrogra-
phic survey" is completed
*x* How ridiculous is the constant talk
of narrow-miuded people about the sayings and
doings of the Mormons. If writers would but
leave these people alone and not persecute them,
their creed would soon die natural death The
oftener you faint your fingers with uneean things
the sooner will you become accustomed to nau-
seating SMELLS Persecution is the very life of
weak secs. The more you hammer at them, the
II
Philadelphia correspondent, writing from Lon
don, thus tries to get up anew excitement against
these deluded people in this country sc The
Mormons are getting up here great sympathy
against the United States. have just seen an
expensive volume, richly bound and gilt with
highly wrought scenes, finely engraved, on their
cruel martyrdom." The writer adds that many
English converts to Mormonism had been made
*#* A capital hoax was played off by
the telegraph on Kossuth and the good people
St. Louis, when that distinguished expouuder Of
liberty was there. II appears that report was
sent by telegraph that Louis Napoleon had been
assassiusted, which Immediately brought out
from enthusiastic souls shouts Of rejoicing instead
Of tears Of grief. Shortly after, the Hall in
which Kossuth was to speak, had been crowded
by ardent spirits, and while the immense mass
were quietly awaiting the arrival Of M. Kossuth,
Mr.. Alexander kayser, hat in hand, and pant
ing with excitement, forced his way to q con
spicuous Part of the hall, where he made terri
bic announcements that Louis Napoleon had been
assassinated The words had hardly been spo-
kon, whom everybody in the vast hall, men an6
women, rose to their feet and joined in one loud
deafening, terrific shout. TIE next morning
there wasn't sn ''enthusiaatic admirer'' of the
great Magyar in all st. Louis.

will our friend inform US if we are to understand
that "The Tribune appears to-day-nearly for.

Or whether @ George Bruce & Co." is "now
nearly forty years old - or, the Tribune, tho

all nearly forty years old"
*#* The stockholders Of the United
States Bank-that nightmare of the regular De-
mocracy-have at last succeeded in choking of
the worthy gentlemen, who, in the character Of
trustees, were sucking up the available assets of
that institution. These old fellows, it is said.
grew quite pussy while enjoying the rich pick
ingS Of the defunct monster. The stockholders
have now some prospect of getting a dividend
from the assets, which will, no doubt, be a con.
siderable advance on any prices which this stock
has commanded in the stock market for long
time. This will be good news to the holders,
and may, perhaps, be the means of raising its
value trife. Still we advise people to be eau
tious and not pay "too dear for their whistle,''
even in buYing this stock.

on Tuesday last magnificent establishment in
the St. Nicholas Hotel, under the title of Gee
nin's Ladies and Juvenile BAZAAR" The idea |
is a good one, and must be successful at least,
such is the sentiment of the ladies.
