JoHN BULL AND BROTHER JoSA-
THAN. An interesting article in
Blackacood, on the fight at Peiho, has
the following passage:
An American boat visited one OF
our vessels, and on wishing to leave
her, the officer found all his men had
got out Of the boat. After some de-
lay they were found, looking very hot,
smoke begrinnned, and fghttsh. Hal
loa, sirs, said the officer, with ASSUME
ed severity, don't you know we are
neutrals; what haveyou been doing ~
Begs pardon, said the gallant fell
lows, looking very bashful; they
were very hort-handed at the bow
gun, sir, and SO we giv'd them help
for fellowship's sake They had been
hard at it for an hour. Gallant Amer
leans! you and your admiral did
more that day to bind England and
the United States together than all
your lawyers and pettifogging politi-
clans have ever done to part MS. y

BENEDIcTs ON A LARK How THEY
FOOLED THE WOMEN. One day
last week a party of married gentle
men numbering some sixteen persons,
arranged to have sleigh ride, sup
per and /" good time generally.
The supper was to be at Waldron's,
about FIVE miles from Mount Pleasant.
Ohio, the parties being all residents of
the latter place. They managed, as
they supposed, to keep their wives
ignorant of their plans, but the women
were not as ignorant of their move
ments as they supposed. According
ly when the stag party " were nearly
ready, with keen appetites sharpened
by the ride, to sit down to the sump-
tuous supper provided, the ladies who
had managed to be in time, walked in
and seated themselves at the table, ut
terly refusing tereeognize sheir smart
husbands" and treating Them as en-
tire strangers. In this way they APP
propriated tothenlselves all OH the table
After supper the ladies, who had
brought music with them, danced for
awhile, and then returned rome with
out once speaking to their husbands,
and treating all advances or their part
with GOODNESS.

TIE Seeding STUDENTS. The
Nashville Neacs thus speaks of the
seeding students:
Some folks are making wonder
full fuss about the exodus of several
scores of students from the medical
schools of Philadelphia. We heard a
Southern gentleman say, if his son had
thus left a Northern college in puck
er, on account Of old Browns Iunacy,
he would paddle him well and send
him back That we should give the
preference to our institutions in the
South is natural and right but we
think, with due Difference to the lead
ers of hubbub, that the giving of a
sectional political cast to education is
greatly to be deplored,"
The Neaos alludes to a similar move
ment on the part Of the New York
medical students, in the following
wholesome strain:
"The thought is refreshing to pat
riotism that out Of three or four hum
cred medical students who assembled
in the recent fiddle diddle meeting in
New York, only fourteen were will
ling to cut off their own noses for the
pleasure and profit of disunion poll
ticians. Even young men are not all
simple enough to be gulTed by those
who wish another confederacy, that
themselves may ell alt the ofices-''
