The New York Commercial contends that
there 10 no evidence whatever to show that
France and England are engaged 10 plans
hostile to our interests 10 Central American
affairs-and that neither Of those powers b ave
excepted or wish to exercise any "prosecto-
rate" over Nicaragua and Costa RIGA. The
Paris correspondent Of the Commercial has
it "from the best authority" that the French
government feels no interest in the affairs Of
the Central American States. further than
securing for the isthmus passage whenever
it shall be constructed, complete neutrality,
and of this result it has had assn rances
from the two most interested powers, the
United States and England" There seems,
however, to be great oontrariety in the
British and French papers. as to what are the
real intentions Of those governments.

You can't buy nothing in New Orleans,
or most Southern and Western cities, for
less than "picayune,' or six-and-a-
quarter cents. l was amused at a little
incident which l was on board one of the
Western boats. A man from the North
tried to pass ten coppers upon al ''sucker,"
a native of Illinois, for dime,
''What be they?" inquired the sucker,
in unfeigned ignorance.
~ calculate they are cents" replied the
Northerner; ''can't you read?"
81 reckon not" said the other; "and
what's more, old boss, l allow l don't
want to. What is cents, mister?'
~ vow to the judges" said the North
erner, "you are worse than the heather !!
Cents is money, 'sartin! Ten Of them are
worth one dime Can't you see? it says
e Pluribus Unum'-that's the Latin for
Hail Columbia here, it's inscribed
'one cent ;"
'sLook here,' responded the sucker,
putting the thumb of his hand into his
ear, and inclining his fingers forward,
"you may run saw on Hoosier or a
Wolverine, but I'm blamed if you Yam
kee me with that contusive stuff"

Then lifting up glass Of cold, water,

A general laugh sustained the Doctor,
and the dinner went on. New wines

the feast, when they had all well drunk,
the same man with red nose, now some
what redder, Selling bottle of very
peculiarly red wine, exclaimed.

MATRIMONY Y.

Matrimony is nut
For every mans digestion
When the shell, if fairly cracked,
Pop goes the question
Pretty girls will sigh and blush
Shipper all they can, sir
Till, from out their pouting lips,
Pop! goes the answer.
Cupid fans the holy flame
Rankest kind of arson
When it gains certain height,
Pop! goes the parsenl
Quite throughout the honey moon
Made OF rosy colors-
Into sundry dry good tills,
Pop! goes the dollars !
When the year has shown its tail,
Round the corner (may be-
Out upon the happy world,
Pop! goes the baby
Mother gives it catnip tea,
Father gives it brandy
And adown its gastric tube,
Pop (! goes the candy.
Madame lets her husband scold,
She must be the whipper
, And above the youngsters heels,
Pop! goes the slipper
Bachelor who lives next door,
Stands it for season;
But before the year is out,
Pop goes his reason!
Maiden lady up the stairs,
Stamps each moment faster,
Till, from the ceiling underneath,
Pop! goes the plaster
Dirty, ragged little boy
Meath the window fingers:
Thumb applied unto his nose;
Pop! goes his fingers!
All around the neighborhood,
Such antics are enacted;
And while mamma is scolding him,
"Pop!" goes distracted.
