STRANGE ADVENTURES OF A BUST OF
LORD NELsoN.-Among the late items o.
news from Hayti. we find the following
Among the Acul mountains there has
been found, in an old house>a bust oi
Lord Nelson. 1t is of white marble, some.
what stained by time and neglect. Mel
son is represented in his costume of admi,
raj, and bears on his breast five decora.
tions. One, in the commemoration of the
battle of Aboukir, has the inscription
"Rear-Admiral Lord Nelson Of the Nile. y
Another medal has the words: GAL,
mighty God has blessed bis Majesty's
glory!" l.
This bust, interesting in its artistic and
historical associations, was found on the al
tar devoted to the fetish worship, where
for half century it has been reyerenced
as the Deity of the Mountain Streams.
The names of the sculptors were "Coale
and Leady, of Lambeth"
Thus for fifty years bust of an Eng
lish admiral has been worshiped as a
heather idol.
The finder of the statue has refused an
offer of five hundred dollars for it.

NO. 13,
Are Women Naturally Polite.

Mrs. Wyllys asks that question, and
then elaborately answers it herself, thus:
Are women naturally polite, did you
ask, dear, good-natured Public9
Did you ever know woman to make
room in an omnibus, five on side, when
Number Six was entering, founced and vel
veted, until orded by the driver9
Did you ever know little pair of gait.
er boots to turn one inch either to the
right or left when they could have saved
you from streaming gutter by the opera
tion2 Patent feathers don't behave So
not they!
Did you ever hear a woman say, 81 am
sorry to have given so much trouble" when
the dry goods clerks had turned things top
sy turvy, without finding the shade or col
or that never existed?
Did you ever know a woman who did
not know it was courageous" for another
woman to travel with baby, or who
didn't regard it as ..'cruel and barbarous,"
if any one objected to the crying of her
baby9
Did you ever know two women to talk
of third without ridiculing her, even if
she was her "dear particular friend?"
Did you ever praise one young lady in
the presence of another, without being
confidentialy told of some enormous faults
or deformity in the former which you had
not dreamed of?
Did you ever know pretty woman to
make an expression without half dozen
other pretty women running the effects of
it the instant she left the room9
Did you ever know n woman to apollo
gize for having knocked another woman's
bonnet into "pi," CHATS printerism, but
expressive, Notwithstanding with the cor
ner of her parasol?
Did you ever hear of woman who had
an idea that she was making trouble by
her little airs and grace2
We don't believe you ever did, reader.
They are race of unaccountables, these
women, just as sweet and piquant as June
roses, sometimes, and then again, bristling
like so many venomous thorn bushes.
There's one thing we never ceased to be
inwarly thankful for-tbat we're not man
and consequently not obliged 10 marry one
of 'em. Why she would drive us crazy
in week, with her whims and fancies, and
her petty ways. We would make the
most henpecked husband in the world, un-
less, indeed, we. had the nerve to run
away from her or shut her up in a closet
for week, until she promised to be-
have better. When a woman chooses she
can be the nearest thing to an angel of
any thing in the world, and what pity it
is she doesn't always choose.-LJs Illus

HOMES HARMONY.

The lark may sing her sweetest song,
As rising from the waving corn.
On soaring wings, she skins along
To welcome in the rising morn;
Her sweetest song is nought to me,
Compared to homes sweet harmony.
Deep in the woods. the nightingale,
At midnight's hour. may tune her lay,
May pour upon the listening vale
Her loveliest streams of melody:
Lovely her midnight lay may be,
But lorelier homes sweet harmony.
Sweet are the songsters of the spring,
And of the summers sunny days,
And autumn's feaihered warblers sing
In rapturous strains their sweetest lays;
Lovely the song Of bower and tree,
But lorelier homes sweet harmony.
But, oh, what cheers the winter night.
When all around is dark and gloom,
When feathered songsters take their flight,
Or fill gloomy little tomb?
'Tis nj such hours as these that We
Prize most our homes sweet harmony
Oh when dark clouds above Us lower,
And life's drear winter Ger US comes,
'Tis then we feel yonr magic power,
Ye songsters of our hearts and homes;
For soon the lowering clouds do flee
From our dear homes sweet harmony

Correspondence Of the London Times
The French Troops About Rome

According TO the last two numbers OF
the Giornale di Roma, the arrival of
French troops and the re-establishment of
Pontifcal authority at various places at the
Patrmonio have been productive of many
demonstrations of joy and attachment to
the Papal rule. At Castlenuovo and Civil
ia Castellana the Pope's arms were resto-
red to their places amid the exultation of
the people and unanimous cries of "Viva
Pic Nono!' uttered by "a population
overjoyed at the opportunity of manifest
ing its true sentiments" At Nepi, Cam
pagnapo, Roneigliode, DC, there were en-
lhusiastic acclamations, discharge of NOR
tars, illuminations at night, and so forth.
In short, to read the official journal, one
would suppose that the proclamation of
Victor Emanuel and the display of the
tri-color had been brought about only by
force or by threats of sack and massacre.
1t is painful TO destroy so pleasing a pic
ture of devotion to the Prince of Rome,
but unfortunately the facts of the case are,
with one exception, dimetrically opposed
to the statements of the Giornale. Every
wherelse the utmost Resistance was op-
posed-short Of recourse to arms, which
would have been unavailing, and indeed
sheer madness. At Viterbo, on the ap-
proch of the French the gates were closed,
and a deputation was sent out to know
what they wanted. On their stating their
mission, they were informed that the gates
would not be opened for them. The
French commander insisted very strongly
that they should be, in order to save the
unpleasant necessity of making use Of two
guns which be had with him. There was
nothing for it but submission, and the
town was entered. The next thing to be
done was to substitute the Papal, insignia
for those of SARDINIA, to take down the tri-
colored flag which waved from the public
buildings and from a great number of pri-
vate houses. The Gontaliers or Mayor
refusing to do this, he was set aside, and
bis predecessor, who had served under the
Papal rule, and was appointed in his
stead.

BEAUTY, LOVE AND DUTY.-"Burleigh u
the New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal, gets off the following charm
ing little romance:
ga short time since one Of the many
agents that are abroad selecting musical
talent for America, sent on to the care of
this house French girl, who was engaged
10 teach for one year in a southern institu-
tion on a salary of 5000 per year. On
her way to New York she saw German
merchant of this city, who was smitten
with her, for she was young lady of daz-
zling beauty. He followed her to New
York, and make a formal proposal for her
hand. The gentleman was well known to
the head of the house of Adams & Co.,
as gentleman of wealth and standing
But the young teacher declined the propo-
sal, at least till her contract for teaching
should expire, and the consent of her pa
rents obtained. But the gentleman was
not to be put off. The lady had great con-
idenee in the integrity of the company,
and relied on what the house of Adams &
Co. said of the honor and position of the
supplicant. She relented and yielded, and
cards are now out for the wedding at one
of our most fashionable hotels, and this
young adventurer, with nothing but her
talents and beauty, will soon be at the head
of an establishment, with husband worth

FritS In q Stew-.LaSer TO the
Rescue.

The peaceful ocean of mud that washes
the southern boundary OF our city, was
violently agitated, on yesterday, by the de-
nouement of All affair of the heart, of a
most intense and chivalrous character
Fritz Klamerbach, an honest young Ger
man, having recently welded fairy crea-
ture "to the manor born," thus forming an
Individual alliance between America and
the Fatherland, invested the hoard of sew
en- years experience in making apparel for
the human form, in pleasant cottage, in
which be placed his happy bride. The
joys of welded life rolled on uninterrupted
ly for several months, when one day an
old acquaintance oflhe blissful couple drop
ped in, and made himselfagreea5le enough
TO the lady to excite the ire of the faithful
Fritz. Fritz pondered, when the old ac.
quaintance left, what to do, and voted with.
in himself as to the feasibility of row,
coming to the ferocious conclusion that
Johannes Rhimbummer was one very big
rascal and should be magnifcently whipped
if ever he spoke to the virtuous Mrs. Ag-
nes Klammerback again. Mr.. Rhimbum-
mer did not appear again until yesterday
morning, when, with delightful smile and
voluptuous swagger, he sailed into the
suburban cottage, and rushes into the arms
of Agnes. He did not dream that Fritz
was on hand, having encountered the wor-
thy husband some distance down town on
ly few moments before, and when he
sank into the bosom of his adored, the
Jealous Fritz waded into him from behind,
dragged him into the street, and wallop-
ed him in the! mud. Strange to say, the
detected Rhimbummer, stung to the giz-
zard with his guilt, took it all patiently
and wiped his head:
"Achl dunderwetterl'
That was all he sad.
His eyes were knocked into imitation
Of peeled onions. and his nose split like
squashed crab apple, and mixed up so mis-
cellaneously with his mammoth moustache,
that it was difficult to tell which side of
his head his mouth was on. As soon as
he found himself at liberty, the unhappy
beau mizzled, and the mud flew off his
coat-t tail and the heels of his boots with
the sunbeam splatter of a undiscovered sui.
XIV wheel in state of frantic circulation.
The irascible Fritz watched him till he
was out of sight, and then nervously
his head, shook his fist at his
wife, and in laundering tones exclaimed:
Il gets trunk for you, mssam; ! thinks all
1e lager in town; thinks kirsbenwssser,
[ thinks Johanuisberge; l thinks every
lings, matam, and gets so trunk as never
was. Tuyvel! dunder va! va" and be
plunged rapidly through the mud, and
when last seen by our informant, was in
of that speechless good feeling
20 peculiarly illustrative Of the healthy ef-
ects of lager, and the sedalive results that
rise from its from its frequent inhibition.
