ATTRACTIVE SIGN.-In passing up the
South side of Main, between 18th and 18th streets
Yesterday, attention was attracted to a and
beautiful sign the Northeast corner OF 18th and
Main streets, which reads thus:-"Reslaurant"
Not seeing the name the Proprietor, we gave the
sign second leok on getting opposite to it, when,
Presto, change, "Restaurant' was gone, and in its
stead we read "Allen's Arbour." Continuing our
walk, we again looked at the sign after getting
some twenty yards West of it. when 10 and behold
neither Restaurant" nor "Aen's Arbour," were
visible, but in their stead were to be seen in large
letters "Bowling Saloon" Not exactly understand
ing these various changes on a sign board, we en-.
quired of friend Alien the modns operand by which
they were accomplished. and learned from him
that he had painted changeable sign, composed
OF a straight board with strips of tin arranged
upon it as to read three different ways. The sign
is painted in an artistic manner, and is well worth
observing.

BRITAIN's OLD ALLY.-It is exceedingly
rich to hear British journals gravely speak
ing of "Her Majesty's ancient ally, the King
of the Mosquitoes" We should like to see
the drunken negro thus spoken of figuring at
the British Court, at the right hand of Yicto-
ria A beautiful figure he would cut An
.--sovfIo UIaoh saSaDOna, whom some Brit
ish sailors caught in state of nature, dress
ed up in an old marine uniform, probably
the first time he had ever worn clothing of
any kind,-and converted him into the "King
of the Mosquitoes" This is her Majesty
most ancient ally
There are great many persons who regard
the King of the Mosquitoes as fabulous
parsonage altogether. We understand it,
however, to be the private opinion of Mrs.
Darlington that this ally of Great Britain is a
monstrous mosquito, such an one as was de
scribed in the Dispatch some time ago, and
who was guilty of an assault and battery up.
on one of the editors of this paper with in
tent to kill. If this theory be correct, and
the identical mosquito, who carries sting as
long as a darning needle, be the ancient ally
of Great Britain, we anticipate bloody time
of it. We advise General Pierce to make
peace with that fellow as soon as possible
We have had to bar the rascal out of orr
own premises, but the way he raves and
roars and curses outside, is enough to make

LIES VIcIssITUDEs.-A contemporary
publishes the following extract from letter
written in the year 1880 by Col. Zachary
Taylor to Gen McNiel, who hid then been
appointed Surveyor of the port of Boston:
al am fully aware that it is almost impossible for
us TO pursue any profession-particularly that OF
arms-for fifteen or twenty years without forming
strong attachments to it in various ways, and OF
course, must abandon them with considerable re
luctance, but there are circumstances which should
reconcile to doing and to justify US, not only
in our own eyes, but that of the community. Could
get civil appointment as respectable, with halt
the emolument attached to as there is to the one
you have received, and where could be located so
as to superintend the education OF my children,
would resign forthwith for after serving twenty
two years and upwards in the army, all OF which
time on duty with the exception of q few months,
without being stationed two years together at any
one post during that time | begin to think that
need reposs, but as do not possess Influence to
procure a civil appointment OF any grade, consl
der my doom fixed
Most soldiers are fatalists, but if Old Zach s
"doom was fixed" it was very different
doom from that which he anticipated. In
ls49, the man who in 1920 said he did mot
possess influence to procure civil appoint
ment of any grade" was himself the great
fountain of the patronage of the American
Government, the President of the United
States, the central orb of the military glory
and political power of the nation.
A few short months, and other vicissitudes
came, and over the newly risen glories of the
final eclipse of Death.
