Ex-PREsIDENT VAN 5BURKN AT AN
EARTHauAKE.-AnA American gentleman
writes from Nice, Italy; that during the
last season, while Mr.. Van Buren was in
that city, hearing at earthquakes were
formerly prevalent in that part Of the
country, but no shock had been felt for a
number of years, told his Italian host that,
for the rarity and novelty of it. he would
like to have s.small shake" happen while
he was there. Sure enough, in a few
weeks thereafter, in the dead of the night,
the whole city and mountains commenced
rocking, and the inhabitants, in the great
est sonsternation, fled to the streets. A
mong others in the park, which is neal
the hotel, was Mr.. Van Buren. in primi-
tive costume, and in high state of excite
ment. The ex-President and citizens
passed the balance of the night in the
streets, and he was perfectly satisfied with
the ''srnall shake"

"When you have got man to the sticking
point-that is, when he proposes-don't
turn away your head, or affect to blush, or
refer to pa, or ask him for more tilne-all
these tricks are understood now-but Just

While President of the United States, one
of his agents brought an action for the

Providence smiled upon the labors of

Rouzey enjoyed the exquisite pleasure of
being able to lay the money with interest

discharged Rouze replied that the debt
of his family to the Father of their Coun-

The late Chancellor Kent was one of those
men whose innate dignity enabled him to
take in good part familiarity the result of ig-
norance and accident He was exceeding
ly fond of martial music, and hearing the
drums of a recruiting party who had taken
a station at the corner of the street heat a
point of war, he walked out to listen to it
nearer. Ensensibly he was whistling the
burden of the tune, when a man accosted
him thus:
You are fond of such music, then, my
fine fellowg'
yes was the eply.
We'll. them said Sergeant Kite, swhy
