MADEMoIsELLE SARAH FELIX, sister of
Rachel, and herself an actress of merit, has
left the stage to 60 into the somewhat pro-
sale business of cultivating an oyster bed
on the west coast of France. And "speak-
ing of oysters" calls to mind an anecdote
related of the great Rachel herself. Dur
ing her theatrical career, she had offended a
hair Drained, reckless actor, who resolved
to have revenge upon the proud Queen of
Tragedy. One night, he played the part of
Rachel's lover, and 10 one scene it was his
duty to rush on to the stage, after q sup.
posed long absence, and to throw himself at
her feet and clasp her hand, The apoint"
was one of Rachel's best in the whole piece.
The scamp had provided himself with an
oyster, which be took cold and wet from the
shell just as he rushed on the stage, and
throwing himself at the feet of the great
actress, he clasped her hand, and left the
unpleasant elammy feeling bivalve in its
palm. Rachel was horror stricken. She
knew not what che grasped, and stood in
despair, hesitating whether to throw it down
on the stage, or carry it off with her. We
know not what determination she reached,
but her "point" was effectually marred for
that evening, and the graceless actor was
avenged.

Our Representative Men.

1t is natural that so brainy and sagacious
q statesman as the Duke of Newcastle should
look about him for the clever people, the
clear, bold, prompt, executive men, with
whom it would be safe to entrust the gov
ernment of State or nation. Wherever
the Prince and his suite paused to receive
the courtesies Of the people, some person
whom the natives thought clever, was of
course put forward, or put himself forward,
to do the honors be ought, therefore, to
have seen and heard some "smart chaps"
At Portland, on the day of embarkation for
England, the Duke, while conversing with
an intelligent gentleman about the men
whom he had seen during the tour, was
asked this question: Among the various
prominent persons with whom you have be-
come acquainted, what ones have particu.
larly struck you as representative men p
The Duke replied that he had seen many, of
whose abilities &c., he had formed a high
opinion; but there where two who had inn
pressed him strongly as men of marked char
acter and decided power" On being request
ed to name them he replied: "Gov. Banks of
Massachusetts, and Mayor Wood of Ne0
York." Coming from Cabinet minister
Of England, whose life has been passed
among clever people, the incident is, per-
haps, as worthy Of print as thousand 9TH

Hungary Next.
The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Tribune writes

The Paris correspondent Of the New Y York
Tribune writes:
Garibaldi, after having, on the 18th, re-
viewed the English volunteers, who on their
arrival at Naples, were at once sent to the
Volturno, made on that occasion some i'm
portant remarks and, seeing there the
Hungarian Legion, he turned to them, and,
in few words expressed his thanks to the
Hungarians "It is our duty now to take
up their cause" be said, cas- our own cause;
and when the hour of liberation strikes for
this our sister country, we must be ready to
assist her, and by the almighty we shall do
it. Hurrah for Hungary!
This sentence was spoken with a prophe-
tic feeling, for it seems that Austria in me-
ditating an attack upon the Legations with
in the next four weeks, which must lead to
an outbreak in Hungary. She knows her
danger, and, therefore, as we are informed
by teregraph on the 2lst ult., granted con-
cessions and constitution to Hungary.
We do not, as yet, know the details of this
new comedy; but Hungary wants not a
constitution, and, we'll aware that Austria
never can grant it, she wants a complete
separation from that ill-assorted empire.
This speech of Garibaldi and the enroll
ment off Hungarian legion in the Italian
army is significant of coming events.

A RUSTIC MAIDEN ON MATRIMONIAL
country girl whose sisters had married badly
was about to take the moose herself:
allow dare you get married? :" asked a
cousin of hers, "after having before you
the unfortunate example of your sisters :"
The young girl replied with spirit:
II choose to make trial myself. Did
you ever see parcel Of pigs running to a
trough of hot swill? The first sticks in his
nose, gets it scalded, and then draws it
back and squeals. The second burns bis
nose and stands squealing in the same
manner. The third follows suit, and he
squeals too. But still it makes no difference
with those behind. They never take warn
ing of those before but all in turn thrust
in their noses, just as if they had not got
burnt or squealed at all. So it is with girls
in regard to matrimony-and now, cousin,
I hope you are satisfied"

History OF Telegraphs,

A writer in the New York Evsry Satur-
day, gives the following interesting facts:
The first telegraphic line of any impor-
tance was established between the cities of
Washington and Baltimore, in l84l, having
two insulated copper wires, covered with
thread soaked in resin, &C., which an
swered simply the purpose that one wire
does now. The fact that one wire, with
each end conducted to the earth, was all
that was necessary to complete what was
termed an electric circuit, was not at that
time established, it being considered that a
continuous metallic conductor was required
for practical purposes.
It was soon discovered that iron wire
from its strength, though not so good an
electrical conductor as copper, would be
more serviceable; consequently the contin-
uation of the line from Baltimore to Phila-
delphia, in 1846-7, was constructed by run
Ing three-ply iron wire, and from that line
every subsequent line has been built Of the
same material, mostly galvanized to prevent
oxidation. In the year l849, Alexander
Balm brought out to this country from Eng
land a. chemical Telegraph, an ordinary
needle resting on chemically prepared
piece of paper, which, when the electric
current passed through, decomposed and left
a dark blue stain, which, by q similar me-
chanical arrangement TO the Morse manip-
ulater, could be devided into dots and
dashes, combination of which formed the
characters representing the Roman alpha
bet. Some enterprising gentlemen (among
whom was Henry j. Rogers, Esq, of Bal
timore, and with whom the writer was) at
once took hold of this new system, secured
a patent, and constructed line from Wash
ington to New York !; from the latter place
other parties continued east and west. 1t
was on the line from Washington to New
York that the first under water wires of any
Importance were successfully worked they
were covered with gutta percha, and laid at
the bottom of the Hudson river from
Bulls ferry to the opposite shore, thence
overland into Wall street, the only obstacle
at that place being the anchorage of vessels,
in connection with which a very amusing
incident occurred, which ended in law

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving proclamatious, though al
ways pleasant to contemplate, are usually
formal in text. The following, from that of
Gov. BANKS, of Massachusetts,, is really
fresh and original of its kind
For the favored position which separates our

tions that torture other nations and secures

The Disgraoeful Side of Politics.

Among the statements afloat in regard
to the sums spent by various candidates for
Office, is one that Benjamin Woods election
cost him 4O,OOO, most of which, however,
it is alleged, will be made up by bets won,
and the new impulse given to the lottery
policy business. A common report is that
Mr.. DelaplaiBes nomination was effected
through political broker, for the sum of
$4,000, and that $4,000 to $4,000 more
was spent in securing his election. His
opponents expenses are stated at $4,000,
$4,000 being distributed the night before
the election, principally to petty Democra-
tic ward politicians, including custom house
officers, who promised to bring him hun
dreds of Democratic votes. Two-tbirds of
them, of course, betrayed him.
This case illustrates the folly of trusting
to men who offer their votes and influence
for so much money. In some of the other
districts, where fusion candidates ran and
were too poor to pay out freely. the fusion
committee, it is understood, contributed ma.
terial aid,

Loka TALKs.-The New York World
says that in the great Quicksilver Mine
case, now on trial at San Francisco, Mr..
Randolph, on behalf Of the Government,
had already spoken continuously for six
days, and evinced no symptoms of any in
tention to stop for the present. This report
speaks of the probability of bis being sue
ceeded, on behalf of the Company, by Hon.
Reverdy johnson; after which the final
argument would be delivered by the counsel
for the Government. This looks very much
as if both gentlemen had taken up perma.
nent residence in California. At the
present rate of progression there seems to
be not the least hope that the final argument
will be completed before the lapse Of two
generations. By that time, probably, the
mine will have been exhausted.

CONSEQUENCE OF " BAD SPELL" The
New York Tribune tells the following
story:
The Importance Of spelling correctly is
seen by the following, especially the neces.
sity of spelling lager beer a. it should be.
Mr.. Todd, wishing a supply of Fourth Of
July beverage, wrote as follows:
BUNGvILLE, July l, 1860.
Messrs. Blotcher & Drinker sen me up as
soon as posibal q cask of Brandy and one Large
Bear for forth of juli. sen the Bear by express.
in Haist. REUBEN TODD.
The answer comes as follows:
Mr.. ToDD-Dear Sir: We send you to-day
one cask of brandy and the bear, by express,
as requested. You must feed him on raw
meat, and be very careful that he does not
escape, as he is very savage. He cost $40O,
and we let you have him for the same. Please
forward payment.
Yours, respectfully,
BL0TCH 4 DRINKER.
The CONSERVATION of Reuben Todd was
complete when the furious animal was land
ed at his shop door, with half.scared curl
ous crowd around it, and it was only by q
sacrifice of the cask of brandy for keeper
and a couple of trips to New York, that he
got rid Of his ugly property and learned
how to spell lager beer. -4I4s or

THE UNION.

Thou too sail on, o Ship of State,
Sail on, o Union, strong and great
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail and rope,
What anvil's ring, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat.
Were shaped the anchor of thy Hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock,
lis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail ON, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes. our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee

Mr.. P. STRONG, clerk in the COmmis-

instantly killed at Kearney City, about two
miles west Of Fort Kearney, on Sunday
evening of the 4th. From the testimony
of some of the parties, who were present at

have been accidental. The shot was fired
by Mr.. Mount, a discharged Sergeant of
the United States Army, who was on his
way east from Camp Floyd; he was former
