THE BELLE AND THE ,STUDENT.-At certain
splendid evening party a naughty young beauty
turned to student who stood near her, and said !:
"Cousin John, I understand your eccentric friend
1t is here; / have great curiosity to see
him. Do bring him here, and introduce him to
me-
The student went in search Of his friend and at
length found him loungng on sofa. Come
L." said he, my beautiful cousin Cathe-
rine wishes to be introduced to you"
.Wel, trot her out, John, drawled r.,
with an affected yawn. Z
John returned to his cousin, and advised her to
defer the Introduction TO more favorable time,
repeating the answer he had received. The beau
ty bit her lip; but the next moment said: : Well,
never fear. shall insist on being introduced
After some delay, L. was led up, and the
ceremony Of mtsoduction was performed. Agreea-
bly, surprised by the beauty and commanding ap-
pearance Of Catherine i, made a profound bow
but instead of returning it, she stepped backward,
and, raising her eye-gass, surveyed him deliberate
" from head to foot; then waving the back Of her
hand toward him, drawled out: 6 Trot him of,

PERrlNENr!-It strikes us, says the Washington
Evening Star, Of the LIST inst, that the next grand
council of the Know Nothings will do a substantial
service to their country if they will satisfactorily
solve the question, whether LIE Cronica, the Span
ish newspaper, and the Courier des Etats unis,
both published in New York, are not actually sup
ported in this country by their respective Govern
ments Among public men of all countries here this
impression certainly prevails Inasmuch as it would
be considered almost cause Of war-certainsly an
oaense not to be submitted to patently-f the
United States Government should undertake to
support in Paris an American paper to abuse and
calumniate the Emperor as those papers abuse and
calumniate the President, their course is begin
ming to require the attention of the Know Nothings
or Of somebody possessing the means OF putting
down the evil Of which they present SO glazing
examples. If the Know Nothings will but put a
stop to the intermedling of alien foreigners, one
and ALL in our political affairs, they will, SO far,
have achieved good end, indeed. It they can
prove the fact that those journals are supported
as is believed by many here, by their govern
ments, they will strike whitening blow at all
future Illegal interfercnces in American public af-
fairs.

~ The Evening Post in commenting on the
proposed proffcred mediation of the United States
to settle the difficulties in the East, says:
The names of Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr. Everett and
Mr.. Buchanan have been mentioned as proper to
be placed on such commission. No man has
earned by the acts Of his public Life, better title
than Mr. Van Buren, to sit on a tribunal before
which the rights Of nations are pleaded Mr.. Ev-
erctt has wide reputation both as statesman
and scholar and temperament from which we
might expect an unprejudiced judgment on any
question of this kind. The name OF Mr.. Buchan-
an, in our opinion, would Illustrate the plan alto
gether His intimate association with some of the
worst men we have sent abroad naturally affects
his credit there; besides, which he would lie under
the suspicion Of entertaining the same preudces in
regard to the Eastern question as are ascnbed to
the administration, and as are expressed in the
Washington Union, conducted by one OF Mr..
Buchanan's creatures. A better name than his
will be the name of Mr.. Benton, the vigorous sur
vivor of an ilustrtous generation of great states
men, or of Mr,Dix, one Of the most fair-mnded OF
men If this method Of presenting the offer OF
mediation were adopted, it should be done by act OF
Congress, Withdrawing the different steps of the
proceeding as much as might be from the uncer-
tain discussion Of the Executive.
