Translated from The German Of Csa1sssso' 0s

There lived q sage In days OF yore,
And he 8 handsome pIgtsil wore;
but wOndsT'd mHoh and sorrov,d more
Because Il hung behind ham.
He uused uron this curious case,
And swore he d change the plgtaIl's place.
Ard have II hanging at hrs race,
Not dangling there behind him.
Says he. "the my stery Pye found
III turn me round he turn'd aim round;
But stIii II hung behind him.
Then round and -ound, and out and in,
All day the puzzled sage did spin;
In vaIn-lt matteT'd not q pin
The pigtail hung behind him.
And rlgh hit, and eft, and round about,
And up, and down, and IN, and out,
He turn !; but still the pig AL scout
Hung steadily bshInd him.
And though his efforts never slack,
And though ne twist, and twIrl, and tacA'
Alas still fa lthful to his bIck.
Tie prgtail hangs behind him.

the courts, aNording fne sport for the
curious public and fat fees for the law
yers. Meantime an opposition theatre in
Broadway (Laura Kcene's) has bronght ont a
piece which is full Of ratriotic speeches about
the Union, the constitution, the rights Of the
South, and so on. This is vociferously ap-
plauded, as is the opposite idea developed in
the "Octoroon." In the Bowery, "John Browns
Insurrection," "Kansas," and "Earper's Ferry"
appear before the footlights in highly color
ed drama; and at another theatre in the same
quarter of the city, it is announced that o play
is In preparation to counteract the pernicious
effects of the "Octoroon" and "Uncie Toms
Cabin" So the niger has absolutely snug-
gled himself, in one way or the other, into four
out of eight principal theatres in the city. As
all this has been done in fortnight's time, we
may expect that he will turn up in one or two
of the others before the holidays are over.
We have to tell the managers, as we have
told them before, that the exploitation of poll
tics on the stage will be quite as disastrous as
it has been in the pulpit. New York is espe-
cially cosmopolitan. Its public entertainments
are supported by people from every part of the
Christian world. The sentiments of this mixed
audience are so diversified, and upon any vital
political question SO firmly fixed, that it is i'm
possible not to give offence to one side or the
other. Thus certain section of the audience
is detached from the theatre, the performances
are given to "beggarly account of empty
boxes" and the manager finds himself bank
rupt. Let them take heed in time. People
have enough of politics in the churches and the
newspapers without being bored or annoyed
with them in the theatres

The News.

An interesting RESUME of the latest news from
Europe and Asia is published this morning. From
Compiegne France, we have minute and exciting
reports of the imperial sports pursued there
during the Emperors late VISIT with full account
of the royal MENACE The description of the
chateau, its guests, the arrangements and business
pursuits is full Of interest. Engand's sudden
change of opinion as to the mode Of her repre-
sentaton in the European Congress had disap-
pointed Napoleon. From Berlin we learn that
Prussia will propose to the Congress an important
alteration Of maritime law in case of war, so as to
secure all property-except contrabands of war
from seizure by hostile ships; in fact, elabora
ton OF the proposition made by Mr.. Marcy in 1856
70 the Conference Of Paris. It was thought that
england suggested the idea, fearing her inability to
protect her merchant traffic in case of war with
France, now 30 powerful in her steam navy. The
United States frigate Mississippi was at Singapore
and Penang, on her way to Boston, which port
Captain Nicholson hoped to make in fine time. Our
correspondent on board gives letter from each
place. The crew Of the surveying schooner Feni.
moro Cooper, wrecked at Yokiama, japan. vould
be sent home by way of California. We rive fnll
particulars of the murder Of Russian officers and
eeamen by the Japanese.
We have dates from Bpenos Ayres to the 18th Of
October, and from Rio Janeiro TO the 9th Of No
yfpReL The intelligence published yesterday 81
