LACK OF BRAINS IN New YoRK.-The
New York Sunday Times says:
Boston has its gigantic intcllects ever ready
to lmmortalze the three hilled city with
their impassioned rhetoric. Philadelphia
can parade its galaxy Of gifted DISCLAIMERS
whenever The occasion may demand the dis
play. Baltimore is equally fortunate. So
is New Orleans SO is nearly every city in
the Union, except our own. Now York
seems to stand almost solitary and alone,
almost pauper in this respect-teeming
with men OF talent, Of tact. stirring mental
power and verbal fuency, vet minus single
name supposed to be capable of rejecting.
IN an emergency, appropriate honor upon
the character Of the Empire State. Verify,

A VALUABLE HINr.-The natives of the
Pacific Ocean, when upset in their canoes at
