HARD.-We have heard of people being in a
quandary, but We know of none more unfor-
tunately situated in this respect than the English
army officer. If he receives an insult and don't
challenge the offender, he is tried by court
martial and broke with infamy. If he does
challenge his adversary and happens to kill him,
he is handed over to the civil power and hung
for murder. If he don't make fool of himself
he is drummed out Of the army, if he does make
fool Of himself six feet Of cordage jerks him
out Of the world.

PAINT FOR BRICK HoUsEs.-A correspondent
of the Ohio Farmer has used q cheap and very
durable paint for the exterior of brick dwellings,
which has already stood several years, and is
now quite as fresh as when first applied. It
consists simply Of lime wash, with sulphate of
zinc as a fixing ingredient ANY requisite shade
is given by adding the colors used by house
painters. A clear and rich cream color may be
obtained by applying yellow ochre to the COM
mon new brick q livelier and warmer shade
will be added by little Venetian red. Burnt
sienna may likewise be used. This paint is far
cheaper than Oil paint, costs but little more than
common whitewash, and nothing will remove it
but the severest friction s..s

tabular statement, compiled by its Cuban
correspondent, showing the exact number
Of negroes known 10 have been introduced
into the island Of Cuba from Africa, within
the five months ending 31st of May, 1853.
The number Of slaves thus imported is 81
049. At this rate, the annual importation
would amount to about 2O,O00 which we
take to be a pretty close approximation
to the truth.

CURIOUS CoINcIDENcEs.-A French paper
calls to mind the following curious condolences:
On the 18th of june 1915, the English and
French were engaged in desperate conflict at
Waterloo ON the same day of the same month,
in 1858, the English and French fleets were at
anchor off the Dardanelles, engaged in cofmon
cause. On the 18th of June 1907, Napoleon
conquered the troops of Alexander of Russia at
Friedland, and the two monarchs at the subse-
quent interview at Tilsit, took counsel as to
whether together, they could not humble the ma
val power of England. Forty six years later,
day for day, the navies of England and France
are united to resist the encroachments of the
Muscoyite. The brother of Alexander and the
nephew Of Napoleon do not act in concert, but
IN hostility. That half century, however,
should produce such changes, is not surprising;
but the coincidence of dates is striking.

WRITING. Among all the productions and in
ventions of human wit, none is more admirable
and useful than human writing. By means
thereof, man may copy out his very thoughts,
utter his mind without opening his mouth, and
signify his pleasure at thousand miles distant;
and this by the help of twenty-four letters, by
various jennings, and intimate combination of
which, all words that are attainabe and magma
bic may be framed; and the several ways of
joining, altering and Transporting letters, do
amount, according to Clauvius, the Jesuit, to
1896, 536 ways; so that oil things that are in
heaven and earth may be expressed by means of
this wondrous alphabet, which may be comprised
in the compass of a farthing. e-

HAVE WE A CoMnoDoRE, Enquirer" adj
dresses the following note to Col. Fuller, editor
of the New York Mirror, under date Of July
the 18th, aa @ qs.,s
"Will you please allow me to ask information
from you as to whether the post Of Commodore
is recognized by the United States government;
or whether Commodores, suchas Perry, Morgan
and others, are but Captains in reality? The
dictionary explains Captain as commanding q
ship; Commodore as commanding feet, which
make it appear to me that the post is recognized.
As this, sir, has been point Of difference, an
answer from You, through your columns, would
be considered great favor. /" 80
The following, is the reply:
sThere isno higher grade in the American
Navy than that Of captain and captains
crank" depends upon the seniority Of his COM
mission. "A commodore has "a flag" but it
confers no frank" This is not 30 in the Brit
ish Navy and consequently American captains
and English commodoTes get into foolish en-
barrassment on the score of naval etiquette. It
would be better, on many accounts, to add q
grade Of rank to our commodores, or ignore the
question altogether"

How To CHOOSE WIFE.-"A place for every
patriarch to his daughter. "Select wife, my
son, who will never step over broomstick. :"
The son was obedient to his lesson. ssNow,"
said he pleasantly, on a gay May day to one of
his companions 81 appoint that broomstick to
choose me wife. The younglady who will not
step over it shall have the offer of my hand"
They passed from the splendid saloon to the
grove; some tnmbled over the broomstick and
others jumped over it. At length a young lady
stopped and put it in its place. The promise
was fulfilled; she became the wife Of an educated
and wealthy young man, and he the husband Of
a prudent, Industrious, and lovely wife. He
brought.a fortune to her, and she knew how to
save one. 1t is not easy to decide which was
under the greatest obligation; both were rich,
and each enriched the other. -=. 81
