Oriental Justice.

A certain Captain Baculard left Marseilles for
China, but being bufeted by the winds, he hauled
up in the harbor of Tunis to await the weather
The collector of the port came on board. Capt
Baculard represented that he was freighted for
Canton, that he had nothing to do with Tunis, and
that he only put III from stress of the weather.
But the collector exhibited determination that
he should fork over. Capt. Baculard did fork over
in rage but instantly repaired to the palace OF the
Bey, demanding justice.
Good Frank, said the Bey, 81 am your friend
God is great. What do you want of me :"
"Your Highness," answered Captain Baculard,
"your customhouse has robbed me. have fork
cd over-fork back"
Excellent individual" |" answered the Bey, "in
this country when we have the dust we keep it.
The original acquisition is difficulty. To fork
back is thing unknown to Africa"
''But shall not have justices"
Certainly Every one has justice in Tunis viii
you have it in French or Tunisian fashion"
"Your Highness, have had lawsuit or two in
France. Justice in French fashion! God forbid ?
"But / don't press it on you," observed the
Bey; IF you choose the French after all, will
speak to your Consul He loves justicel good
mani Three of my subjects applied to him two
years ago, for immunity, and they will get it next
year, for he loves justice!"
"French justice never! Give me Tunsian.
I'm in a great hurry"

The Bey summoned the Vizier.
"Viziern said he, g there is no God but God,
and Mahomet is his prophet We love Justice.
We love the Franks Proclaim that every jew
who appears tomorrow out of doors, without a
cotton cap, will have little transaction to settle
with me-"
There were twenty thousand jews in Tunis, and
not one single cap in the place. They all made
their wills, when they learned, through the officers
of the customs of Capt. Baculard, who sold the
invoice at two dollars cap. He rushed to the
palace and poured out his thanks.
mot so fast )" said the Bey, " am not done
yet. Call my yizier. Proclaim" said the Bey,
that every Jew who keeps cotton cap another
hour will have trouble with me. God is great and
am the lineal descendant of Mahomet"
The Vizer made grand salute, placing his leg
on the back of his neck, according to the custom
of his Court, and retired. Il When Capt. Baculard
returned to the dock, he found the twenty thou
sand Jews already awaiting him, caps in hand
He might have had the caps for nothing, but de-
sirous to leave name behind him for generosity
and greatness of SOUL he bought them at two cents
apiece.

Matrimonial Advertisement.

The February number Of the Knckerbocker has
pleasant article on this topic. The writer makes
the following estimate of the proportion of these
silly affairs which arc genuine Out of one humid
red there are:
observation-disclosures by the editor himself
Twenty--Inserted as "d draws" or "sells" by
Jolly young gentlemen.
Twenty-Are bats set for non-legitimate purpo-
ses ...#4. 4...... ..9.atgr..
Ten---Are the thing itself.
tsThe unsoundness OF matrimonial advertise
ments, he goes on to say, "appears clear as mud
10 the fact that they are most always in for only
single insertion. Should think myself that if a
man really wanted a wife, he'd be willing to 60
more than four shillings to start her up. Still the
rule isn't grit for chap in Cincinnati who tried it
on a single time, found that it worked to charm.
In answer to bis proclamation he received seven
hundred and ninetyfour letters thirteen daguerreo-
type likenesses of ladies, two gold finger rings
seventeen locks of hair, one copy of Ike Marvefs
tReveries of Bachelor one thimble, two dozen
shirt buttons and cook book.
He copies number of specimens from the New
York Herald and other papers. There is an anu
sing bull in the following:
"WASTEp.--A wife, by young man, twenty
FIVE years Of age, prepossessing in appearance, of
excellent family and good moral character He
oistcs her to be sin gle about his own age, rather
good family, and good looking. Please address
with real name, X. Y. e. Baltimore, Maryland"
The replies to such advertisements are some
times literary curiosities., We copy one or two
specimens The first indicates the kind Of culture
one would naturally expect in the writer of such a
missive:
