We have the delightful pleasure Of giving
a lot of excellent items to-day from our old
assistant, ond present itemical correspondent,
MOSE-and we have the still greater pleas
ure of announcing to his old friends, that
NOSE is among us on short visit. We cap
tured him at Cairo, and by the aid Of pair
of tongs, led him on board the outherner,
and finally landed the city's guest here in the
night-thus escaping a public reception
Nose has long since made the full acqua'n'
lance of the readers of the Journal through
his spicy editorials and Cairo items. We
hope during his stay to-day, he may in persc
form many pew acquaintances-and if any
one don't like him, we shall take the liberty
of making it personal matter.

OF Two darkes in the West went out to
hunt possums, and by accident found large
cave, with quite small entrance. Peeping
in'they discovered three young bear whelps
in the interior.
"Look heah, Sam, while l 60 in and get
the young bars, you just watch heah for de
old bar"
Sam got asleep in the sun, when opening
his eyes he saw the old bear securing her
way into the cave. Quick wind he caught
her by the tail, and held on like blazes.
'sHelloh dar, Sam! what dark the hole

"Lor bless you, Jumbo, save y ourself honey,
if dis tail tail comes out, you'll know what

OF James A. Mason, Esq, of Virginia,
has purchased the printing materials of the
Washington Literary Gazette, and has CON-
menced publishing the weekly Sum at that
place. Mr.. Mason has the ability TO make
irst-rate paper.-[ Enquirer.
James A. Mason, Esq, is not from the
"Old Dominion" but native Hoosier. We
are informed that he was b orn of highly re-
spectacle parents, residing in Sullivan coun-
ty, Ind, that he was apprenticed to the print
ing business, at an early age, with Cadding-
ton, of the Vincennes Gazette, where he
soon mastered the mysteries of the art, and
more than that, he established the enviable
reputation Of gentleman and scholar wher-
ever known.
Mr.. Mason, before quitting his connection
with the Gaze tie, attained rare degree Of
distinction as an editor, for which the public
were perhaps unable to give him credit at
that time. But now that he has caused a
"Sun" to rise in halo of glory and prosperi-
ty,w hope the public will accord to him the
merit he deserves, and that when his Sun
sets, it may loose none of its effulgence.
To the considerations above noted, Vir-
giniaa birth could add nothing.

THEORY OF Manifestation was q mer.
ry fellow supped with Plato, two thousand
years ago, and the conversation turned upon
love, and the choice of wives. He said, "he
had learned, from a very early tradition, that
man was created male and female, with a
duplicate set of limbs, and performed his To-
connective functions with rotary movement
as a wheel; that he became, in consequence,
so excessively insolent, that Jupiter, indig-
nant, split him in two; Since ina. time each n
half. 1.-THE original halves meet, they are a
very loving couple; otherwise, they are sub.
ject to a miserable scoldng, peevisl and un-
congenia ma,rimony. The search, he said,
was rendered difficult, for the reason that one
man alighted upon half that did not belong
to him, another did necessarily the same, till
the whole affair was thrown into irrstrevable
confusicn."

How RAILROADS CREATE WEALrH.-Thers
is convenient scale says the Quincy Herald
by which any farmer can calculate to the last
penny how much he is benefited and the val
ue of his farm enhanced by the construction
of a railroad to his place. The farmer, for
instance who produces thousand bushels of
wheat a year, by having 10 cents per bushel
added to il by railroad, makes 500 per an
mum more off his farm, and as that is equal to
10 per cent, on $1,000, i. is safe to say his
farm has been increased $1,000, in va lue.

The New York Herald and the Sun, long
competitors in the circulation of large daily
editions, are instituiing comparisons to show
which is the greater concern. The Herald
claims a circulation of 100, 900 copies per
week, divided among its seven morning,
twelve evening, and one weekly editions; be-
ing an average of $3.50 copies for each edi-
ton. On the other side, the Sun claims
$4,000 daily copies per week, which is dvid-
cd among six editions, giving an av erage of
$4,000 copies each; that is, for the Herald's
edition of $3.50 copies, the Sun circnlates
$4,000 copies, or nearly eleven to one. The
Sun is of the opinion that the Herald is not
paying speculation at present. and further
says, that in the present state of the money
market the concern would not sell for as
much by 100000, as it would have done a
year and a half ago.
