How TO MAKE JIBING HORSE DRAw.--An
omnibus full OF passengers was detained long
time this afternoon in Oxford street, by one of
the horses turning obstinate and refusing to
proceed and Notwithstanding numerous and
persuasive arguments inflicted upon him by a
large crowd of persons collected, such as dig
ging spurs into him from the hand, sundry
kicks and licks, cursng and swearing, &c, the
horse would not advance; and when, by manual
force, some ten or fifteen managed on several
occasions to move the omnibus few PAGES, it
resulted in nothing but graceful pirouette of
the whole concern back to the same spot, much
to the amusement of the crowd, but not SO
much of the passengers, who, l must admit,
maintained the greatest patience and forbear-
ance. Observing all the endeavors of the crowd
to fail to make the horse move, suggested to
the persons interested simple remedy used in
India, on similar occasons--that is to get a
slight rope and attach it to one of the forefeet
of the stubborn animal, and the person holding
the other end of tho rope to advance a few
PAGES, taking with him the horses foot, when,
as matter Of course, the omnibus must follow.
My advice was at first ridiculed and laughed at,
but after some more Intellectual attempts after
their own barbarous and savage manner, a rope
was produced and applied as described, when
tho horse Immediately advanced, and the omni-
bus, in the course of q few minutes, was out of
sight, much to the amazement of the rude and
bigoted crowd | heard them expressing their
wonder and astonishment at this very simple
remedy, which should be more generally known
in the country.-L0ndOn Times

A CULMINATIoN OF MEANNEss.--Not many
years ago, young man who occupies the posi-
tlon OF cashier in a mercantile house, made a
HRrchase of half dollars worth of cigars of
sthy and intelligent blind man who keeps
pprtablc variety store on the ommoCn, near
Park street church. He not only did not
pay for them, but actually stole dollar
Of that helpless blind mans money, by
giving him counterfeit dollar bill, and taking
in return fifty cents worth of cigars and fifty
cents in hard silver. About week after he vis-
itcd the Common again, and shaped his course
for the variety store" "Do you ever have
counterfeit money passed upon you!" said he
to the blind man. "Oh, no !" he replied, "no-
body would be mean enough to think of such a
tltEg."
Those cigars that got ofyou the other day
were first rate. think I'll try another lot ="
Aha then you are the man that gave me that
counterfeit bill. Caught in the trap, the young
msn was obliged to confess, and make restitu-
tion. He took back the bill, and gave the blind
man two dollar notc receiving a dollar in
change. But the two dollar bill was counterfeit,
and instead of paying up the dollar which he
stole at first he had now stolen two dollars.
Ee was, however, found out by policeman,
and obliged to pay, in good money, not only the
two dollars, but handsome surplus. That
young man may congratulate himself at having
so easily escaped the public disgrace which his
conduct mcrited.-Boston Adoertiscr..

Man Worship.

Siam gives an account of the abject obsequious'
mes of the Siamese mobiles and subjects, to thei
monarch, which, to an American or Eaglish rea
der, world be ludicrous enough, but for the utteI
personal degradation which it implies. In the
presence of the monarch, the mobiles crouch upon
their elbows and knees and when they approach
him crawl on their bellies. When the King passes
up and down the river in his barge the banks are
crowded with squalid and bresdless barbarians,
both men and women, In all forms, while many Of
them run back into the narrow lanes to close up
their houses shutting their doors and windows,
and then prossratng themselves on the ground
although out of sight.
The tendency of human nature to cast Itself q.

was something disnfed even in feudal vassalage

Louis Napoleon scarcely exceeded that of the Free
Sellers to Fremont and "Jessie," and of the rank

potsof the Free Soisquads. An American who can
thus surrender his personal independence and the
freeman's prerogative of free thought and action
who can find his glory and happiness in following
