April LIST. Saucy, wize -nfaced boy with bad
cold and a scab on his nose, accosts us with the
intelligence that there arc ducks up therc point

an indetermnate and general manner to the sky.
Whcreat looking unsuccessfuly in the direction
indicated. same hoy sarcastically informs us that
we are an April Fool" This disparagng i'm
putatiOn, be it observed, rests on no other ground
than that the boy lied, and that We, not being pre-
pared for such exhibition of Juvenile dein-
quency, believed him.-Littc girl sprung a like
trap on our credulity. There seems to be a gen.

the little scamps out of school.

myth, the oldest inhabtant, and a no less anthem
tic oracle than he, !. w. Bond; in his recent work
on Minnesota, afirms this ,month of April to be
the most disagreeahlc month in the year. The
meteorological calendar of the last few days has
been decidedly corroborative of that proposition.
Election day for city officers. Alex. Ramsey,
Mayor; ID. Rohrer, Treasurer; W. Miller, Mar

result in whole numbers and vulgar fractions, of
this beautiful arthmctical process, for analysis
of which see another column. The returns show
the whole number of votes for mayor to foot up
nearly S00-neary 800 more than last year.
There were probably some so or GO votes not cast

DIsrREssING.-We heard Yesterday of most
distressing case of suffering for want of food, in
which relief should at once be afforded. A poor
woman, with four small children, living in one
of the suburbs of the city, having withstood the
cravings of hunger as long aversion to asking
assistance would permit, sent one of her children
little boy, to the house of citizen to ask food
The lady of the house. thinking it was for him
self the child wanted food, sat victuals before
him and asked him to eat. The little fellow,
though hungry, looked first at the food and then
in the face of the good lady giver, but, so great
was his distress at the thought of his suffering
mother, who was pining with want at home, that
he could not eat. Then with tears in his ewes he
remarked that it was not for himself he wanted
food but for his mother at home. The kind lady
supplied him with victuals enough to answer the
necessities of the family for the time being, and
we hope those who have the means to be generous
to the needy will afford still further relief to this
family and others that may be in extreme want.
The lady, spoken of above, has husband, as
we learn, but he is so habtually addicted to the
revels of the dram-shop as to be a burden
rather than support to his family. But this un-
fortunate fact is no fault OF the mother and her
furnishing children, nor does it afford the shadow
of an excuse why the innocent should suffer-

The WAR NEWS. We announced Yesterday
that the death of the Emperor had been confirmed
and that his son Alexander had been proclaimed
his successor, which proclamation had been ac
guessed in by his brothers and the principal men
of the Empire. 1t seems that contrary to expect
ations, Alexander will prosecute the war with
vigor.
More fighting had taken place in the Crimea, and
the death of the Grand Duke Michael is reported.
The French had taken redoubt which resulted
in the loss of the Russians of several hundred
men.
Now that the fact is known that Russia will
continue the war, the spring campaigns must re.
suit in some terrible battles. This war is sad
to contemplate but there is no backing out.

NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.
FROM TIE DIARY OF AN IDLER.

Streliing about Paris one day last summer, with
my friend DIR. NJ sudden, dark tempest
cloud drove US into a passage" near the Boule-
yards-a sort of a glass-roofed bazaar. This soon
became densely crowded with all sorts of folks,
seeking shelter there, like ourselves, from a severe
peltlng shower OF rain, accompanied by sharp
flashes OF lightning and heavy thunder. The
crowd accumulated at both ends of this passage
women and priests and soldiers and blouses, all
crowded together. Thunder and tightening in
such severity are unusual in Paris, and noticed
much alarm existed in the crowd. The priest lost
no time in restoring to their little black-covered
books, and commenced a rapid reading, in a sort
OF hurried, low matter, and alternately crossing
themselves. The women wrung their hands, and
many of them fell on their knees, exclaiming at eve
ry flash of lightning mon Dieu!" Presently there
came a very severe flash, giving everything around
a sort of ~yellOwish and lucid coloring, and follow:
ed almost instantaneously by a loud metallic ring
ing, French-sounding thunder, such as L never
heard at home; it alarmed me, fused as | had
been to thunder.) l thought the arched glass roof
was coming down upon us, for with this thunder
came a smashing fall of rain and hail. Everybody
seemed instinctiyely TO shrink down but the thun-
der-clap had scarcely ceased to reyerbrate, when,
from a group of soldiers near the entrance, came
an almost simultaneous shout of, "Viee . Epape-
reurl"
That was the last Of that thunderstorm. The
alarm ceased with it, and in less than ten minutes
the sun was shining, and the crowd dispersed and
we, in our turn, continued our rambling about the
gay streets, hearing occasionally some hurried re-
marks and m on the extraordinary severity
of "Lf Eca9" Ell "LG IoaRerys," and the cheering
and timely cry o. "Vire PEmpereuri" There was
nothing in that cry at the time which gave me an
idea of imPious temerity; it was q sort OF nation
al impuise-it was the uppermost thought. as in
battle, when danger seemed most imminent, to
cheer up and make the best of it-gO ahead, "Vice
= EnpereDr" ! don't know why the memoran-
dunn was made which ] find / did make in my
diary, when noting this little national peculiarly,
that was reminded Of something like it once
witnessed at home. Upon rejecting, l don't think
il aeeords exactly aeeords but as il struck nae at
the time, and, like Captain Cutie, ~ made a note
ont" 1 will just mention it. 1t occurred during
the Hottest point of the contest between General
JackFon and Mr.. Biddle in the Bank war. I was

being landed in front of as on the wharf, and the
