AnSuering an IQuiru.-The Baltimore A

Ansuering an Hqury-The Baltimore Ar
gus relates the following: AT the close of the
performances at the Holiday street theatre or
Thursday night, a fashionable dressed stranger
ut his segar and walked slowly along North
Holiday street towards his hotel in Old Town
While passing Hjllen street bridge he was en-
countered by rutian of the O'Bludgeon order,
who inquired the time of night.
SIT just struck eleven" said the stranger
blandly without any sign of alarm.
"EIeven did you say p was the gruff response.
GAS don't believe it's so late, Id like to see
for myself; so pull your watch out quick. II
looks asi if it might be a good one from the big
bunch Of seals you've hanging to it."
"les its a patent lever, extra jewelled," said
the Southener, pulling it and a long eight bar
relied revolver forth at the same time. Resting
the time piece, still retained by the guard, on
the barrels of the deadly weapon he extended it
towards Mr. OBIudgeon, with a request to salts.
fly himself regarding the precise hour.
The rutfiian appeared to be utterly bewilder-
ed at this prompt movement. A few inches
from his nose was the glittering golden lever;
but it rested on eight dark barrels from which
a slight click of the trigger would send as ma
ny leaden messengers for his LIES blood. For
a moment only did he remain in such a DANCE
rous locality, and with a quivering remark that
ut was any hour the gentleman was pleased to
say" be dashed up HiIIen street, and was soon
lost in the surrounding darkness.
Here's another anecdote remarkably similar
to the above, and no doubt equally as true.
Peculiar Method of Overcoming Ruffans.-
A southern gentleman, who arrived here a fort
night ago, supped on Tuesday evening last,
with a friend in Twenty-ninth street, and start
ed in company with his host for the Astor
House at midnight. When they reached the
corner of Laight and Varick streets they halt
ed, the southern gentleman insisting that it was
too late for the other to proceed further down
town, and recommended him to take the cars
and 60 home. They stood under a lamp post,
and in order to convince the Twenty-ninth
street gentleman that his domiciIe was the best
place for him, our southern friend pulled out
his watch and showed him the time. This
movement was observed by three ~ruffians con-
cealed in the shade on the opposite corner.
They crossed the street, pretending to be intox-
icated, and one Of them demanded of the south
erner to know the exact time. Il will tell YOU
he said, in his blandest terms. Placing his hand
in one of his pockets as if to take out his time.
piece, and drawing forth a revolver instead, he
presented the latter, and coolly remarked, 1T is
just about to strike three" The ruffians vanish
ed in an instant. A moral of value NAV be de.
duced from this true anecdote by those who
are abroad at hours not exactly orthodox.-N.

Our Foreign Relations.-The Richmond
Enquirer, of yesterday, publishes the following
without comment:
Important Morement-The New York Her
aid has the following:
"Thcre is an important movement on foot in
Washington, in regard to our foreign relations,
and the recent movements of France in Haytl
and Mexico. The present Congress intends to
assume the initiative in supporting the new ad-
ministration in taking bold and high grounds in
its relations with the strong powers of Europe,
and in the protection of the weaker nations of
the earth. Our Washington letter, published
in another column, intimates this. 1t would not
at all surprise US to see an appropriation OF five
or ten millions Of dollars, to be placed unreser-
vedly in the hands of Gen. Pierce, for the pres
s~eryation of peace and the honor of the Repub-
lie in the approaching crisis. We are entering
upon an %eventful period in our history"
We certainly are entering upon an eventful
period, when the Representatives Of the people
shall surrender the treasury of the people and
the war-making power in.o the hands Of one
man. Such an idea as this, in the better days
Of the Republic, would have been secuted by
every man, who has any regard for free institu-
tons. But it is done now in the name Of De-
mocracy. We may form some notion from
this of what will be the practical results of the
doctrines Of intervening in the affairs of foreign
nations. Under the pretext Of protecting the
national honor. the President is to be endowed
with a revenue Of from 5 TO 100000 a year,
to be used by him in whatever mode he choos-
es. But it is Democratic. Richmond Wing,

Look out for the Women.-Young men, keer
your eye peeled when you are after the women
If you bite at the naked hook, you are green. Is
pretty dress or form so attractive? or a pretty
face, even? FIounces, boy, are of no sort ofcon.
sequence. A pretty face will grow old. Paint
will wash off. The sweet smile of the firt will
give way to the scowl of the termagant. The
neat form will be pitched into dirty calico. Ano-
ther and a far different being viii take the
place of the lovely goddess, who smiled sweet
smiles and eat your sugar candy,
Keep your eye peeled, boy, when you are
after the women. If the little dear is cross and
seolds at her mother in the back room, you
may be sure that you will get particular fits all
around the house. If she bushes when found
at the wash-tub, be sure, sir, that she is of the
Goldfish aristocracy--little breeding and less
sense. lfyou marry gal who knows nothing
but to commit woman slaughter upon the piano,
you have got the poorest piece of music ever
got up. Find the one whose mind is right, and
then pitch in. Don't be hanging back like a
sheep thief, as though ashamed to be seen in
the day time, but walk up like a chicken to the
dough, and ask for the article like a man.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia distinguished
Democratic Senator from one of the South.
western States, has, we understand, decided to
go against the acquisition of Cuba in any shape
in which the question may come UPON the
ground that it would divert planters with their
slaves from Texas and materially injure the re-
sources of that State. Several Democratic
members of Congress, hailing from slave States
bordering upon the free States, also express
themselves opposed to the acquisition of Cuba,
as likely to prove Instantaneous to the inter-
ests of their own States. There seems to be a
strong current setting against the Fillibusters
generally, and well informed men are of opin-
ion that Gen. Pierce will take a decided stand
against them Charleston Mercury, 23d.

Balloon Ascension in New ORGANISATIONS.
Pe'in, and his comprehensive or three of
them, we understand, made a very fine ascent
on Saturday, and the monster balloon in which
they went up, attracted the gaze of thousands
of our citizens. They took a North-easterly
direction, and it is reported that they had some
idea of going as far as Mobile. When over
Lake Pontehartrain, however, leagues from the
shore, some of the apparatus became deranged;
the gas escaped, and the car was ~precipitated

Shoemahing by Machinery.-A Bridgewater
correspondent of the Plymouth Memorial gives
the following account of the progress of stitch
ing by machinery:
"Last week We saw in operation what we
never happened to meet with before-a sew
ing machice. The one we saw has lately been
brought into the place, and is used for stitching
shoes. We understand that these machines
are becoming quite common, one shoe estab.
llshment in Abingdon making use of DO less
than six. 1t is said that an operator, with the
machine, will stitch in a day more than ten times
the amount usually accomplished BY a "stitch-
er," and that the cost is very materially reduc-
ed The machine did the work very neatly, and
so far as we saw, very thoroughly"

The old year has gone-sunk into the womb

the joys Of genial sun, and mantled with the
eternal green Of our Southern cline, it seemed
not to mortal that 80 soon it would be number

the events, good and evil, which it has embra-
ced since its advent; treasure the philosophy
which they inculcate, and upon this New Years
Day--the first Of another year, which like the
last, will run its course and die--determine, if
life lasts, that it shall not be spent ~fruitless or
valueless to ourself and to society.

UChristmas is said to be derived from
Christi missa, a festival of the Romish Church
in honor Of the birth of Christ, of which the
18th of December is supposed to be the ami
versary, and as such is universally regarded as
a day of f~estiyity in all Christian countries. 1t
was first observed as a festival A. D. 90, and
by Pope Telesiphorus, it was ordered about A.
D. 1877, to be held as a solemn feast, and that
Divine service should be performed on the oc-
casion.

An important Prgect.-The Government
of Bolivia appears to be awakened to the impor-
tance of opening a communication with the At
lantic, by means Of their rivers Benz Branco
and Mannora, which fall into the MADEIRA, the
largest southern branch of the Amazon. The
commissioners appointed to examine the route
are of opinion that the difficulties are not SO
great as was formerly believed, and that with a
small expense they may be obviated.

UOne Of the carpenters at work in a bull
ding on Main street, Louisville, lately occupied
by Messrs. Curtis & Co, bankers, on tearing
up the floor, found $4,000 in bank notes. He
banded the money over to Mr.. Curtis, who, al
ter examination, said he had no claim to it, and
handed it back to the lucky finder. Only Sl20
were current funds, the balance consisted of
notes on broken banks in Mississippi and other
States, which were doubtless current when
placed there.

Conviction and Suicide in Georgia--We
learn from the Savannah Republican that the trial
of young Byrd, in Albany, Ga, for killing New
ton Jones, last fall, came off at the late term Of
Baker Court, and occupied nine days. The
jury returned a verdict of voluntary manslaugh-
ter. Byrd listened to the verdict in silence, re-
turned to prison, shaved himself, wrote to his
father and other friends, and then took prussic
acid, from which he diedimmediately.
