A Prussan Journal Of the Lower Rhine,
tells very good joke of religious com
munity thereon, who appreciating the long
and able services of their faithful minister,
unanimously resolved, as slight testimony
of the same, to present him, the year Of a
bountifu vintage, each with bottle of white
wine. The minister, of course duly sensi-
tive to this delicate tribute Of love and aflec-
ton, as well as pretty proud Of it, as an evil
dence that his ministry had not been alto
gether in vain, and at considerable expense
prepared in his cellar huge ornamental
casl1, into which on the appointed day ap-
peared every member of his flock and emp
tied his bottle. But what was the surprise
of the minister, as well as of the generous
donors, OH tasting from the new overflowng
cask. to find that it was not wine but water!
A strange thing, certainly, and Of which we
have no other explanation than this, that
every member of the society was of the same
idea that one bottle of water would not be
noticed in whole cask of wine.

A correspondent of the New York Herald

LEoN.-An atrocious attempt to take the
life of Louis Napoleon was made by several
Italian conspirators, as he was entering the
opera house in Paris, by the explosion of

The explosion was so terrific that five per-

Emperor and Empress drove out in an open

The Acapulco correspondent of the s. f.

There is one thing that the student will
be struck with-the universal want of gal
antry manifested in the proverbs of all Ian
guages towards the female sex. "Woman's
eauty, the forest echo, and the rainbow,
soon pass away" say the ungallant Germans;
who further uncivally attest that, "Woman
and maidens must be praised whether truly
or falsely" "Woman are watches that keen
bad time," and that "a woman knows no
bounds" The Italians are not so downright
damnatory as this, but their hints are almost
as strong as the Teutonic assertions. "Wo-
mans tears are a fountain Of craft" and "Wo-
man always speak the tru:h-but not the
whole TRUTH" says the southern lnoralists.
"Women know point more than the DEVIL"
and that "Women rouge that they may not
blush" Then come the slandering Portu-
guese grinders of maxims, which they de
liver according to this bad measure: "Your
wife and sheep early at home," and "Women
and glass are always in danger" The haugh-
ty Spaniard states that "Women, wind and
fortune soon change Jerrold, on the other
hand, rather compliments the sex when he
lays down the maxim in St. Cupid, that to
fan treason into full blaze, always fan

A Grateful Client.

When Judge Henderson, of Texas was
first candidate for Office, he visited from
tier county, in which he was, except by repu-
tation, stranger. Hearing that trial for
felony would take place in few days, he de-
termined to volunteer for the defense. The
prisoner was charged with having stolen a
pistol; the defense was mot guilty" The
volunteer council conducted the case with
great ability. He confused the Witness pla-
vered the Court, and made an able, eloquent
and successful argument. The prisoner was
acquitted had not stolen the pistol
The council received the enthusiastic ap-
plause of the audience. His innocent client
avaed himself Of the earliest interval of the
hurricane of congratulations to take his
counsel aside. "My dear sir" said he, ''you

have no money, do not expect to have any,
and do not expect ever to see you again; but
to show you that appreciate your services

drew from his pocket, and presented to the
astonlshed attorney, the very pistol the at
torney had just shown he had never stolen
or had in his possession.

A Mule Killed ON the Railroad.

The train due at Smyrna, 7 o'clock IS M, on

tongue of the wagon remaining on the same.
AS soon as the engineer saw the team standing
he whstled for breaks and reversed the engine,
but not in time to prevent a collision. One
mule was killed, and the wagon slig htly broken.
The train was detained only few minutes as
none of the cars were thrown off the track.
