George Miller, haiing professedly from Virginia,
but whether of the !" first families" is not !" set
down in the play" appeared few days ago in the
presence OF the auxiliary court in state Of intoxi-
cation. The dignity of manhood" was asserted
with 80 much punctilio that his age was not even
to be questioned, or, if So that he ought to know
best aboutit he fattering himself that he was there
when ne was born. That point was waived, how
ever, on the well-known maxim of the law, de min
'nis non eurat ler, and he was lodged at the city
expense.
Another night brought tho same individual to
quarters in quite happy frame Of mind. This be-
ing considered cutting it rather too fat he was
earnestly recommended to the region of his pater-
nal domicil and he promised most religiously 10
leave by the first boat. But alas for " the best laid
scheme fmice and men, he was brought in last
night lordly corned." As matter of course he
went down to the place where honors are easy"
Gas" Still harping on my daughter" will ex-
claim the man who administers light to this be-
nighted city. But it is not the light this time, but
the heat. Gas has been recently applied to heat
ing and cooking purposes, and many have made
arrangements for its use. Some one in Baltimore
has invented machine for roasting oysters with
gas. Nearly all of the eating houses have fixtures
for keeping refreshments warm, and they complain
that they cannot get gas in the day time. Now do,
Messrs. Gas-ers have some consideration for those
whose time demands, or inclination inclines to
snack If the stock on hand is elm, pray rob
Peter to pay Paul." Trench heavily on the nights,
particularly the moon-shiny ones, and thus allow
the purveyors OF ready-made food "some show
for their white alley" 81.
