ARRIVAL oF GEN. HESsJNGsES IN
MEW foRK.-The arrival Of the steam.
ship Illinois at New York on tie 28tE
ult., with Gen. HenEiugsen on board
caused multitude to assemble on the
steamship phr. The General respond
ed to the enthusiastic cheering and the
repeated tigers" by uacovering his head
and bowing. The Express says:
Among those on tie steamers pier
were Colonel Fabens, Colonel Frank
Anderson, The Walker Nicaraguan Con-
sal, General Cszeneau, Thomas Francis
Meagher, Captain Bolton and many 9TH
er distinguished flibus,ers and sympa-
thizers in the cause, who had prepared
an open barouche, drswa by four iron
gray borses, for the Generals USE
these parties crowded about the Gener-
al the moment they could get on board
the ship, and. for time, he was 10 great
danger Of suffering tne fate Of martyr
from the squeezes ard carresses bestow-
ed upon him by his friends.
As soon IS be was able to get ashore
which he accomplished before the vessel
was fairly into her dock, the General
was escorted to the barouchs by some Of
his friends, surrounded by an immense
crowd of people. The baroucbe was
then driven of up Chambers street to
Broadway, and thence to the st. Nichol
as, followed by another carriage filled
with his personal friends.
Arriving at the St. Nicholas, the party
all went in and took look at the mag
nitcent bar-room, after which three car
r'ages were brought into re9niSision again
and drove to The residence Of the Gener-
al, No. 14o West 18th street. Arriving
here, the reception scene between the
hero and his. wife and family was affecting
10 the extreme. Mrs. Hsnningsen, who
is very gne looking woman, and has
maintained her fortitude during the long
absence Of her husband, gave way to her
Joy at bis safe return.
The first excitement being over, Mrs.
Henningsen, with Mrs, Thos. Francis
Mehgber, who was also present, received
and entertained the Generals f,iends
wiM much dignity. The parties who
had accompanied the General home,
after short pause at the house withdrew.

few moments conversation with Mrs. f.,
our reporter learned that she takes the
deepest interest in Nicaraguan affairs, and
sincerely hopes that the campaign will

ORIGIN OF PuFFiso.-Few persons
have an idea Of the origin the Of word
puff, as applied to = newspaper article.
In France, at one time, the coiffuss mos:
10 vogue was called pouE. 1t consisted
Of the hair raised as high as possible
over horse-hair cushions, and then orna-
mented with objects indicative Of the
tastes and history Of the wearer. For
instance, the Duchess Of Orleans, on her
firt appearance at Court after the birth
Of son and heir, had on her pouf
representation in gold and enamel, mos,
beautifully executed uuysury. There
was the cradle and the baby, the nurse,
and whole host of playthings. Madame
de Egnont, the Duke do Richelieu's
daughter, after her father had taken
Port Mahon, wore on her pout little
diamond fortress, with sentinels keeping
guard; the sentinels, by means Of me-
chsnism, being made to walk up and
down. This advertisement, the pouff
for such it really was, is the origin Of the
presen. word puff-applied to the Intla-
tIons Of the newspapers.-Notes and
Queries.
