A GRAVE JoKE.--It is said by the jokers about
town--we give the story we hear it that few
days since colored gentleman, who had become
pretty much of nuisance, was found dead-drunk.
The wags of the vicinity ordered the sexton TO have
coffin for cholera subject, and call in half an hour
Wien The hearse arrived, the coffin was duly lifted
to its place, and a small procession moved towards
the receptacle of dead humanity. When the party
were about lifting the coffin from the hearse, the sub
cct revived, and perceving his critical position he
burst the lid and landed at one bound among the
mourners, sober His first impulse and his first
threats to fog the crowd, but perceiving that
that wonld be undertaking rather large contract, he
compromised the matter for ride home the hearse.
As the cortege returned, all the women and gossps
ran to the doors 10 ascertain why the coffin was brot
back. They were all duly assured that the victim
had come to life, and he was pointed out sitting on
his own coffin wh,stling. Oh, carry me back to Old
Virginia The best OF the joke is, the negro bas
glveo up drinking, and worked indnstriousIy ever
since. The story has gone 20 Cleveland, and by this
time probably reported that twenty live men are

the most friendly relations with We have in cur

thOdiCa, system of eliminating and sIanderng our
institutions, manners, and people.
She has ranking in her bosom none Of that ma
.gnity which ever dwels in the bosom Of a whipped
bully.
There exists no reccollection Of wrong by either
side 10 interfere with wholesome cordial. and in
innate commercial relation.
Russia has population OF one hundred and fifty
millions Of people. Great Britain has some twenty
eight to thirty millions Russia has employment for
much shipping, and We have the shipping Russia
wants manufactures, and we can furnish them.
We have too long neglected so friendly and so i'm
p0TtanI a nanOn-a nation which seeks not ncess-
anlly to dissension among our State, inpatient
y and hypOcriticay interfering in our municipal in
Stitutions.
Russia will readily comprehend the advantages of
transferring the manufacture Of cotton to herself,
ond she Is the poorer and kas the eC'H to do it.
We look forward 10 an early arrangement with
that great and populous power. by which we may be
relieved from the communicating influence of thai
queen Of ny p0crsy, and Ceaseles8 undermner of our
instilutions-E England.
The advantages of an unrestricted commerce with
Russia, were her population less than it is, are of a
character to prove more profitable than that of Eng
land.
Great TeioCings are made at the prospects of some
kind of limited and restricted intercourse with Japan,
which, at best can prove but small in the beginning
while the now existing abrogates all existing
treaties, except those Of partition between belige-
rents and leaves Russia at liberty to give treaty
