Novel Divorce.

In Cincinnati some six years ago, Billy
Pealc, darkcy, black as a June thanGer
cloud, and about as handsome, captivated the
heart of all irish maiden, somewhat winter,
but fully as ugly, and in due course of the
law made her Mistress Peale. Since the honey
moon wancd, thcy,have been as prone to fight
as are the sparks to fly upward. A day OF
two since, as we learn from the press of that
city, they appeared before the 'Onc-hoss
Court; with sort of criminal hotch-potch ;
the thing being generally mixed.
After hearing the case patiently, the Court
proceeded to give them much good advice,
when both parties put in plea for divorce.
"Nlsther Squire" said the Wife, divorce mez
from the ma =cr' 20! massa,' petitioncd the
darkcy, do for dc Lords sake, left me of
from dat Irishman.' Stand up commands
the Court, raise your right hands if you want
10 bc divorced, I'll give it to you quick as
thunder The parties were then Bworr never
to speak or look at each other. After which
tie Court decreed, Now you Bill, and you
Mrs. Pealc, you are divorced forever and ev-
or, Amen, and if you ever speak to each 9TH
er, blamed if the Court don't send you Oh tha
chain gang for seven years. You arc divorced
forever. "a pinculo DlatrinlOiaii'

Wife vs.. Lady.

It is certainly not III good taste for gem
tlcman to speak of his wife as his lady, or to
register their names upon the book of ho-
tel as John Jones and Lady;' Or to ask a
friend, How is your lady" This is all FASH
ionablc vulgarity; and invariably betrays d
lack of cultivation. Tho term ,cfe is far
moro beautiful and appropriate and rGfned,
whatever may be said to the contrary. Sup
pose a lady were to say, instead of my hus-
band my genaeman;' or suppose we were
to speak Of Mrs. Fitz Maurice and her gen.
acmam' The thing would be positively lu-
dicrous, and its reverse is none the less so, il
tightly considered. A mans wife is his pife,
and not his lady, and VIC marvel that this
latter term is not utterly tabooed, in such a
connection, at least by educated, and intclli-
gent people. 1t ought to be left for the ez-
elusive use of the Goldfish aristocracy cy.-Proc-

Slack Rope Performance by u Rat

Rats are somewhat proverbial for their nat
ural instinct, which often manifests itself in
expcdents resorted to by them for self-pres-
crvation. We were witncss of an instance OF
this a day or two since. Dick our family cat
had caught rat and in its struggles for lib
erty and dear life the latter animal escaped
up post on which was stretched clothes
line. Out of this the fugitive walked, a Ia
Blondin and De Lave, till he had reached
what he doubtless considered safe distance
from his pursuer, where he paused to await
the issue. watching, with distended orbs, his
enemy the cat. The latter, meanwhile, had
lost no time in pursuing his prey, and hav-
ing reached the top of the post, attempted to
initiate his ratship in hissack-ropc perform
ances. But finding this impossible, he de-
scended to the ground, and after pausing for
a moment watching his prey lie apparently
became bewildered at the strange turn mat
ters had taken, and returned TO watch the
hole from whence the rat had emerged. This
was tho rats opportunity, and seizng upon
it he decended to the ground and made good
his escape -.-Nepport lR. ~ Ne,cS, June 20.

NUMBER 20.
Comparative Produce of Tin
and Silver.


In looking short time since in DR.. Ures
valuable Dictionary of Arts and Manufac-
lures, we noticed very singular error. He
states that tin, though much rarer than silver,
is yet very inferior in price to it. What was
probably meant is that tin is cheaper than
might be expected from its rarity, taking sill
yer as the standard of comparison. On ex-
amining the comparative productions of tho
two metals for the past few years, it would
appear that the annual produce of tin in the
world is about eighteen thousand tons, while
that of silver is twelve hundred tons. Thus
the annual product is as fifteen to one. The
value of ton Of silver is IN round numbers
thirty thousand dollars, of ton of tin five
hundred dollars ton of tin is, therefore,
sixty times cheaper than one of silver. If the
prices of tin and silver were regulated by
their comparative abundance, that of silver
remaining stationary, the price of tin should
be four times as great as ct present. The
chief cause of this difference is the compare
lively greater demand for silver in the arts.
More than half the tin annually produced in
the world comes from Cornwall and Devon
shire, England, the mines Of which have been
worked nearly three thousand years, without
exhibiting any signs of exhaustion or dimi-
mutton. The tin mines of Banca, east Of
Sumatra, furnish two-thirds Of the remain
der, nearly the entire balance being found in
Malacca, Bohemia, and Saxony. 1t has not
yet been found in this country, at least in
sufficient quantities to render it of any inn
