COMMON SENSE.

CHIP OF THE OLD BLocK.-Among the Kinney
expeditionary party is youth only fifteen years of
age, grandson, we believe, of Daniel Webster,
and named after him. How he behaved during
the shipwrcck is thus told in letter from one of
the party:
The only one who seemed to have no care at all
on his mind was little DanelWebster, who whistled
and sang if he was in his element, to the great
horror of one of the more sobermindcd, who recon-
mended him to define himself to saying his pray
ers and other exercises appropriate to so solemn
an OCCASION. This conduct however, was entirely
consistent with his behavior throughout the voy-
age, for Dan had acquired from his boating excur-
sions in Marshfeld harbor the experiences and
freedom from fear, of an old salt. Even in the
afternoon previous, as We were running direct up
on st. Philips Keys, he was sitting high up on the
cross-trces, coolly surveying the dangers, when,
had we struck the rocks he might have been pitch
ed fifty feet into the water.

WAssNc TO GAHBLERs.-The Paris correspond
cnt OF the New York Evening Post writes as fol-
lows in relation to the late Mr.. Hope, about whom
so much bias been said since his descease:
I" The estate of Mr.. Hope, one of the sons Of the
wealthy Amsterdam banker, is fast liquidating,
and to the horror of the Parisians who worshipped
this Midas, it appears to be rather a small one
such an humble fortune as Q de Rothschild or an
Aston would regard nothing, for If the heir re-
cieves several hundred thousand dollars it is all
he will get. LIE P0urre h0mnse! What lesson to
the card player! Herei is q man who had $500 900
. year, and who felt passion for gambling late
in the life-its qualification cost him nearly twelve
millions Of dollars, and it left him, after brief
qualification, (for he died at the age Of SIS yesrsl
with shattered fortune. If these financial lords
cannot safely play with such an edged tool, in
Heavens name what can the lower Glasses Of mon

ABSENCE OF MIND.-The Niagara Falls Gazette
says that one day last week as the night express
train from Rochester arrived at that place, the
brcakman discovered a child about two wears cd.
lying asleep on one of the seats. The child was
taken care Of by the conductor, Captain Broom
ley, until the father arrived from Suspension
Bridge: 1t appeared that the father of thu child
when the train arrived at the bridge, forgot his
child, and also his hat, great was his hurry to
get off When he discovered his loss, his grief
knew no bounds. But whether his grief was for
the loss of his hat or child is not related
