A SfrntngeIrl.

When the Hebrew iinancier kothscniid llveu !
on Stanford HILL there resided opposite 10 MN
another very wealthy dealer in stock exchange,
Iucas bv name. The latter returned one night
very late. from asconvivial party he observed
a carriage and four standing before kothschild B
cate. upon which he ordered his own carriage
to 90 out of the way, and commanded his coach
man to await his return. Lucas went steaithiiy
and watched unobserved, the movements at
Rotbschild's gate He did not lie long in am
bush before he heard party leaving the He
brew millionaires mansion and going towards
tbe carriage. He saw Rothschild accompanied
by two mufiled figures, step into the carriage:
and heard the word of command, "to the CITY,"
He followed Rothschild's carriege very closely.
But when he reached the top OF the street IN
which Rothschilds office was situated, Lucas or
dered his carriage to stop, from which he got
out and stepped through the street, felgnlng 10
he mortaly drunk. He made his way III the
same mood, as far as Rothschild's office, ana
without ceremony opened the door, to the great
CONSERVATION and terror OF the housekeeper,
uttering sundry CALCULATIONS, IN the broken @-
cents Of Bacchus' votaries. Needless of the af-
friehted housekeeper's remonstrances, he opened
Rothschild's private Office in the same stagger-
inc attitude. and fell down fiat on the floor.
Rothschild and his friends became alarmed.
Efforts we're made to restore and remove the
would be drunkard, but Lucas was too good an
actor. and was therefore in such fit as to be
unfit to be removed hither or thither.
"Should a physician be sent for| asked
Rothschild. But the housekeeper threw some
cold water into Lucas face, and the patient
began to breathe more naturally, and fell into
a sound snoring sleep He was covered over
and Rothschild and the strangers proceeded un
suspectingly to business. The strangers brought
the good intelligence that the affairs in Spair
were all right, respecting which the members
of the Exchange were for few days previous
very apprehensive and the funds therefore were
in a rapidly sinking condition. The good news
however, could not, in the common course o
dispatch, be publicly known for another day
Rothschld therefore planned to order his bro
kers to buy up cautiously all the stock tha
should be in the market, by twelve o'clock the
following day. He sent for his principal broker
thus early. in order to entrust him with the i'm
portant instruction. The broker was rather
tardier than Rothschilds patience could brook;
he therefore determined to go himself As soon
as Rothschild was gone, Lucas began to recover
and by degrees was able to get up, being dis
tracted as he said "with violent headache, y
and insisted, in spite of the housekeeper's ex
postulations, upon going home. But Lucas
went to his broker, and instructed him to buy
up all the stock he could get by ten O'Clock the
following morning. About eleven o'clock Lucas
met Rothschild, and inquired satiricaly how
he, Rothschld, was off for stock. Lucas won
the day, and Rothschld is said to have never
forgiven the base, dishonest, and ncfarioui
stratagem."

THE DEVILS CHAIR-A letter from Manches-
ter, N. H., in the Boston Post, says that at the
Amoskeag Falls the DEVILS Chair is visible, in
consequence of the low water in the Merrimac,
which has not been the case for many years.
The chair is specimen of river bottom archi-
lecture, wrought into the solid rock which forms
the bed of this river. No mathematical meas
urement could calculate this furniture more ac-
curately, nor could any chisel cut it more
smoothly than the water has.
The tradition connected with this chair is, that
the devil used to frequent these parts, and made
that particular place bis seat, from whence he
used to amuse himselfby tormenting the Indians
with such diablerie as stopping the salmon, shad
and eels that used to frequent these waters
driving them back down the river, drinking up
all the water of the river, or dashing it all into
spray at the falls, and casting it into the air,
and thus occasioning the long rainy days.
They were rid of him at length, on this wise .
Passaconaway was giant among the Pencooks
He was more to them than Hiawatha was to the
Dacotahs. He was a sort of Jupiter Moter among
his tribe, and was prevailed upon, by the prayers
of all the good Indians, and driven by repeated
injuries, to remove this evispirit from his throne
He did it to the satisfaction of ali time, and is
entitled to the thanks of the Amoskeag Water
Power Company; for Gg1sfe were drying up the
water, il would cause infinite mischief to all the
machinery running here.

NEwPoRT.-The following is the latest intel
ligence from the fashionable world at Newport
viG the Providence Journal:
" The increase in the fortune of the young
girls here is rapid beyond any thing ever heard
of in California or elsewhere. Yesterday morn
ing young lady arrived in town, and at hall
past nine, just after breakfast, it was currently
reported that she was worth seven hundred
thousand dollars; at one o'clock this sum had
increased to twelve hundred thousand, and last
night at eleven o'clock it was ascertained that
the figures were no less than two millions This
morning have not heard of any further rise.
but may add, the lady is not neglected.
Here is the last conundrum: Why should the
ladies of the Ocean House always be spoken of
as economical? Because there is no ,caste to their
dress materialsr

A FUNNY AFFATR.-Thomas A. Linton was
indicted by the grand jury of Richmond, Va,
for (beng q woman) dressing in mems apparel.
Martin NJ. Lipscomb swore Thomas was wo-
man, and Martin ought certainly to have known,
for he once engaged to marry the naughty
Thomas. But strange to say, Thomas, when
the trial came on, put himself in the hands of
six medical gentlemen, who testified he was no
woman but perfect man, and the real facts
were that Thomas had played very scurvy
trick on Martin. Eighteen months ago joking
friend of both parties in this suit, who, at that
time were strangers to each other, told Lips
comb that Linton was beautiful woman in
disguise, and as the gentleman was rather good
looking, Lipscomb requested an introduction,
the result of which was warm friendship which
soon ripened into declaration from Lpscomb,
and an engagement to marry. The joke was
kept up for long time, the appointed day for
the marriage ceremony was again and again
set, and again and again broken by the fclle
Linton. Lipscomb got jealous; Thomas smiled
on other men, and at last poor Lpscomb got
outrageous at the conduct of his " fair one,"
and made charge to the above effect before
the grand jury. 1t is needless to say the joke
exploded, and the accused was acquitted.
