A CAPITAL JoKE.-In the Boston
(Mass.) Times of the | 9th ult., q para
graph appeared containing the account OF
the rendition OF colored servant Jack
belonging to DR.. Tucker, of Alabama, on
board the brig Selma. A terrific excite
ment prevailed in Boston, and loud cries
of, &" where is Tucker" and ssend steam
boat after the Selma" were heard in all
quarters 1t turned out that the "color-
ed servant jack" was black wooNy jack
ass, and the paragraph had been furnished
by some waggish reporter, causing an
awful waste of sympathy by the citizens
of the "Modcrn Athens"

TIE Colossal WASHINGTON MONUMENT
FOR VIRGINIA The London Builders
gives the following account of an import
ant step in the progress of this work:
The cast Of the horse for this monument,
at Munich, is one Of the great feats of
ofmeiern foundry, as fifteen tons of bronze
had 10 be melted and kept in state of
auidity. For several days and nights
previously a large fire was at these huge
masses, which required to be stirred at
times. When the bronze was liquified, an
ultimate assay was made in a small trial
cast, and to heigten the color some more
copper was added. Successfully all the
Fchambers through which the metal had
to flow III the form was cleared Of the coal
with which they had to be kept warm, and
the master examined all the air spiracles
and the issues OF the mUtai; the props OF
the tubes were placed and every man had
his daty and place assigned to him FL
tnally, the master, amid the Intense eXpec-
tation of the many art amateurs present
pronounced the words, In the name Of
God and then three mighty strokes open
ed tie fiery gulf, out Of which the glowing
metal flowed in a circuit to the large form.
The sight was magnificent, and il the lit
tie sea OF fire stood the masters aud gave
his commands about the successive open
ing of the props. Hot vapor poured from
the air s,1iracles in the conduits, the met
al boiled in waves: still no decision vel. az
the influx of the bronze in the very veins
of the figure could he but slow At once
flaming showers jumped out OF the air
conduits, and the master proclaimed the
cast TO have succeeded. A loud cheer
followed, when the master approached
Mr.. Crawford, the artist of the Wash
ington Monument, to congratulate him
on his success Another cheer was
given to NJ de Millar the chief of the roy
al foundry of Munich, who had personally
the work.

I1ackeray or George the Fourth.

sketch Of the lecture in the New York

"With a slate and piece Of chalk Mr.

spectacle likeness of George ", so far
as the external form Of his fat friend

puent simuacrum. All was grins, pad
dln9s parasites, and putrefaction. He
signed his name sometimes with d steady,
sometimes an unsteady hand, as George
Z. or George r., to State Papers. With
in five days after his iiIuatrious birth he
was dubbed Prince OF Wales. Marquis of
t!,is III England, Lord OF the other in
Scotland, and Lord knows what in many
