setting forth thai IN consequence Of the failure
Of Mr. John A. Washn gtou, the proprietor Of
Mount Vernon, the purchase money already
paid for the esae was likely to he lost, as Mr.
w., being invoked, could not give title. Such
Is by no mesnsthe case. The contract, and all
the arrangem hts between the ladies Of the
Mount Vernon Association aud Mr.. Washing
ton, are huch that neither his failure or any
judgments tha! may result therefrom can in any
way affect the lille to the Mount Vernon estate.
We are glad tdlearn, moreover, that very nearly
a sufficient AMOUNT to complete the purchase
has been realiAd; but 1t is intended to mako
the fund sufficient to put the whole estate in
repair, aud for lis purpose the ladies of the AS
s"ciation are row actively prosecuting their
collections, presrring to perfect the whole plan
by their own eforls, rather than to ask as they
we'll might do,the aid of Congress-.

THE AMATEuRs.-The performance
at the Theater, on Saturday evening last
was most assuredly, the best and most
interesting that they ever gave since
their organization, and reflects credit on
all concerned for their industry and at
tentien in making themselves so perfect
in their several parts. The house was
we'll filed, and the performance much
applauded. At the conclusion of the
first piece, the Drama Of the "Golden
Farmer, Miss Sweet and Mr.. c. 8.
Rouse, were called in front of tho cur
tain as compliment from the audience,
for the meritorous manner in which they
had played their parts which they well
deserved, their performance would have
done credit to actors Of much greater
fame. Our friend Spiers is also entitled
to considerable credit for his excellent
personation of the character of Jenny
Twitcher, he kept the audience in q
perfect roar of laughter by his drollery
In thus mentioning those actors in partic.
ular, we do not infer that the other char
acters were not we'll played, each did
we'll, bat those parties excelled. There
was the usual singing and dancing the
Duet by Miss Sweet and Master Levy,
took everyone by surprise as no one ex-
pected to hear it so well executed. The

Saturday afternoon, as the Fakir Of

be met oad-brimmed countryman
from the Bunker settlement, with .
basket of Eggs under bis arm. he
Fakir stopped him aud looked into his
basket. 'rhose are remarkable look
ing eggs You have, sir; what do you
ask for them 2" "Bit q Dozen" replied
broad-brim. "Let me try . single
one here's . dime for it." said the
Fakir. Taking out his knife, be coolly
proceeded to crack it, when, to the
establishment of the Bunker, out rolled
dozen shining half eagles. Placing
them in his pocket, and handing out
another, the Fakir remarked: "l'll try
another, if you please, sir" This, too,
he cracked open with the same phe-
nomenon of hslf-esgles. "I'll take all
your eggs" said the Fakir, apparently
much excited. mo, you don't" said

his speech; and spreading the folds

ers share in the kindly nature OF such
a sister, our society will bless the day
which gave it Lyons in exchange for
a Napier. We believe Lord Lyons
WA born while his father served his
country as an envoy; he may, there
fore. b said to have been born as well
ss bred diplomat. His official career
has been chiefly hitherto confined to
Italy, and he is just now fresh from
Florence, where be lad won golden
opinions and from which station his
present appointment is a promotion.
Lord Lyons As a peer Of Parliament
takes social precedence If Lord Napier,
who has never had the honor thrust
upon him OF Peers substantive rank,
(he is Scotch courtesy Baron,) but
we believe the lat, has a super; r
diplomatic grade, although it may not
be more than degree.
1t is anticipated in political circles
that his stay in this country will be
short in case the British government
shall, as is now in prospect, determine
again to send a Representative to
Rome. In that case the position will
be rendered to him with the expressed
that he will accept it.

NATHAN. He had been absent for some
months, and stopping at the Spencer House,
on his return. as the story goes, kissed the
Italian, installing her for his sister. lie
wrote an apology; and when this note was
translated to the bewitching Marie, and she
was assured of its sincerity, she laughed i'm
moderately. and said she had supposed per-
haps kissing pretty girl Chere she looked
very archly,) on meeting her was an Amer
