by the President"

sG"A Funeral Grafton for Haynau:-
Haynau, the woman fogger-

He's gone to reckon for his crimes
And curses minge with the chimes

A MODERN BELLE.-s'Love in q cottage, in
deed" said Lauretta one day to one of her ad-
mirers, sentimental swain. 81 do not fancy
the picture. A cottage always reminds me of
pigs, and poultry, and dirty children, and slut
tish women, and coats out at elbows, and bro
ken windows patched with paper, stopped
with old hats-that hold in utter abomination.
Give NE elegant suf6ciency-a handsome
house in the city, splendidly furnished, in the
most fashionable style-a dashing equipage-a
well-filled casket of Jewels circle of gay and
fashionable acquaintances-a wealthy and induI-
gent husband-and then-perhaps-I might
think of love. ."-Boston Journal.
AUsTRALIA.-The New York Herald contains
letters from an intelligent printer, who went to
Australia, in preference to California, to seek
golden fortune. His statements are very des-
ponding as to success in the mines, not only as
affects himself but for the great majority there.
1t is indeed the same story with which we are
all familiar as regards CALIFORNIA; ''streak of
luck" for very few, which is always sure to be
heralded, but only hardships and disappoint-
ments, not 1.-THE of which was probably ever
expressed, for the many. If he had money en-
ough to get back again, the writer says he should
be happy to doso.
The New York Herald, of Tuesday, mentions
a shocking occurrence, which took place at the
Tombs, on Monday. Four persons, who had
been imprisoned there the night before, were
found dead in their cells 1t appears that when
the keeper went to examine the cells, he found,
to his horror, that in one cell, three out of five
men, who had been imprisoned there for being
drunk, were quite dead, and a fourth rolling
about the floor in fits In another, he found a
woman who had been imprisoned for the same
cause also dead. An inquest on the body of
the woman will be held to-day. Coroner O'Don-
nell held an inquest the bodies of the men,
and the jury returned a verdict that the de-
ceased died from appoplexy, produced by intem-
perance.
The Democrat, ut Rochester, announcing a
concert there, adds as an attractive feature, ga
negro boy, fifteen years of age, who possesses
remarkable musical talent, and excels as plan
ist. This precocious genius comes from New
Haven, ConE."
