HINTS FOR OMNIBUS RIDERs.-On getting
in, care neither for toes or knees of the pas
sengers, but dive your way headlong in, keep
ing decent equilibrium by the arms, chests,
OF even faces of those seated.
Seat yourself with a jerk, pushing against
one neighbor, and thrusting yourself into the
side of another. You will thus get plenty of
room.
Ifpossible, enter with a stick or umbrella.
pointed at full length so that, by any sudden
move of the vehicle, you may thrust it into
some ones stomach.
When seated, occupy, if possible, the room
of two your ride will thereby be rendered
more comfortable.
Open or shut the windows it suits you !;
men with colds, or women with toothache,
nave nv business in omnibuses-- IF they don't
like it, they can get out no one compels them
10 ride.
Young bucks may stare any decent woman
out of countenance, put their legs up along
the seats, and if necessary, wipe their boots
on tbs seats. They are only covered with
Brussels or Wilton carpeting.

WHAr CONSTITUTES A GENrLEMAs.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Sun says:
The Colonization meeting at the Copitol
last evening was very interesting. One of
the speakers, with view of showing the STAN
dard of morality among the African Princes
their idea of what constitutes a gentleman re-
lated the following anecdote:
A Missionary, at IN interview with one of
the Princes, incidently spoke of certain gen.
tlemen In the United States.
The Prince said, sAh. l wish were gen.
tleman'
The Missionary was surprised, and asked
him if he had not great wealth and plenty of
servents.
Yes said the Prince, sbut that does not
make me gentleman,
What does, them replied the Missiona ry,
make agentleman7' ~
"a proper number of wives, said the Prince.
why, how many wives have you?'
sOnly two'' said the Prince, sbut must have
sir before can be gentleman
The idea of it, requiring six wives to make
q gentleman, created no little mirth among
the female portion of the audience. There
were some hard looks at the bachelors, as
much as to say. sWhat miserable creatures
must you be then?'
