The Kirkpgtricks The New York Express

The Kirtpatricts---T New York Express
supplies US with the following exquisitely fun
ny paragraph:
"Hare sce kirkpatrick atnoug Us''-That's
the custom. The fact is that there's "a Bour-
bon among US" is fnaity, they say, and can't
be agitated any longer. But what about Kirk
patrick? Our Boston friends have suddenly
discovered that there is certain distinguished
eccesiasiic "among them who is related to
the new Empress of France, Ia Montyo. Now,
as Kirkpatrick is tolerably profused name
here, in Gotham, who knows there isn't ga
Kirk patrick among us" too! There is hardly
a doubt of it, indeed and there being no doubt,
the legitimate succession to the French throne
rests with us,--that is, with the United States.
If Louis Napoleon dies regularly, and without
a revolution, our KirkpatrIcks must look sharp
for A No. /. On the other hand, if Louis don't
die, lin the regular way, as the bulls say in
Wall street.) but should happen to be driven
from the throne by another revolution, why
then eve have Bourbon among u.s." to have
all ready for the restoration. The universal
Yankee nation thus not only governs itself, but
keeps good stock of 'legitimates" on hand
for the rest of creation. Great country!

Z Yankee on a 3usts

Did YOU ever hear Marble tell the following
brief and 'racy" spudge of Yankeedom?
"Massa Saiks alive, Eb's back hum agin.'
says cousin Sally running into the kitchen to
Marm Green, who up to her elbows in the
dough, "dropt ali" and came to her hopeful son
stalk into the porch as big as all out of doors!
"Wher' on airth, Eb, hev yeou been!' says
the old lady.
"Where hev been? Why daownt Bosting"
"Massa Saiks, Eb, what on airth did yeou
dew-had yeou good time Ebenezer!"
Good time? Oh.ough, persmmons! hadn't

made the money fy--did, by golIy."
"Why, haow yeou talk, Eb!' says Marin
Green. Il hope, son Ebenezer, yeou didn't
break any of the commandments, or nurthins
Break the commandments? Wa-a-all meow,

TyHis Majesty NAPOLEON LII, is about to en-

DTIis Majesty Napoleon Iii. is about to en-
dow the Church of St. Denis with the dignity
of the place of sepulture for the Emperors and
Expresses of France, an honor to which it
seems to be entitled from having served in the
same way for the Kings and Queens. The rule
was that the body of the monarch should re-
main in tomb beside the altar until the death
of his successor. when it was sunk in the vault
to make room for the new conner. Thus Louis
XVIII. remained until the proclamation of the
Republic of ls48, waiting for a successor to
come and take his place. The Republic put his
remains in the vault, but they have now been
restored to their place beside the altar, where
they will wait till Louis Napoleon dies off, or a
new Republic shall happen.

infdelity for any one to have expressed a doubt
that the yeri.abe devil was then bodily in the cell

What shall we do 2 was heard from almost
every mouth. They were all anxious to get rid OF
the devil, and one proposed one expedient, one
another. Finally two of the older of the youthful

to conceal it, at the suggestion of one of the fair

surpHce, buckled his leather belt around him,

psalm book under the other, started Off escorted

An exclamation Of horror escaped the lips Of
every member of the whole assembly, except one;
this was mirtlllul looking, laughter loving youth
who, thinking that their frollicling had been long
enough suspended, seized a pine knot from the
