NATIONAL HUMLIATION.-The events Of the
last month, says the Journal Of Commerce, have
humiliated the American Republic before the
whole world. For the honor Of the nation we
might better have experienced a severe naval de-
feat, a sad reverse on q battlefield. The voice
of ths Executive at Washington has already lost
half of its power We can almost hear the sup
pressed taunt and jeers OF European despots, in
response to our demsnds for the redress Of indig-
mites suffered abroad, or depredations upon the
rights Of our citizens. The ''stars and stripes''
rent asunder, we immediately 81 nix 10 the 20
sition Of second, third, or fourth-rate power and
from the Canadas to the lower extremity of the
SOath American continent, there will be presented
a sorry spectacle Of the working of our much
boasted Republican system In the dreary pros
pect there IS not a citizen who does not feel per-
sOnaliy humiliated. The tyrants Of the old world
Will take courage.

A LAKE MICHIGAN SENSATION The rivalry
between two steamers on Lake Michigan, the
Dart and Forester, is great that on the ID inst,
the Forester endeavored TO run down and destroy
the Dart The Forester first ran into the Dart,
and stove In her bulwarks; shortly after she re-
reated the experiment, tearing away the Darts
stern. The Dart managed TO get into port at
Vicksburg, where, as she lay at the dock, the
Forester came down and, aiming directly for her
stern ran into her with Tremendous force, cutting
sheer through the stern, and penetrating about
sixteen feet Into the bull. The rudder was car
ried away, the cabins were wrecked, and the
hull was cut down to within twelve inches Of the
water line. Three persons on board the Dart
narro ly escaped death by the collision.

A HAsrY BRIDEGRooM.-On no occasion, says
the Springfield Republican, do people seem more
prone TO commit blunders than at wedding The
fOllOSing actually occurred at neigh0oring
town:
In the midst Of a crowd Of witnesses the clergy
man bad Just completed hatinteresting ceremony
which binds In the silver bonds Of wedlock two
willing hearts, and stretched forth his hand TO i'm
plore the blessing Of Heaven on the union. At
this point the grOomsnan, seeing the open hands
reached oct, supposed II was the signal for him to
surrender the wedding fee, which was burning In
his pocket. Accordingly, just as the clergyman
closed his eyes in prayer, he felt the pressure OF
two swetty half-dollars upon his open palm. The
good man hesitated a moment, appalled, at the
righteousness Of his situation but cooly deposited
the money In his pocket and proceeded with his
devotion.

REVOLUTIONARY UNIFORMS The December
numbrr of the Historical Magazine contains
a valuable paper by Mr. Thompson w estcott, of
Philade phia, correcting erroneous notions which
are prevalent relative TO the colors and materials
of the uniforms Of the continental troops during
the revolutionary war. The popular notion Is
that tue regular colOrs were blue and bun such
undoubtedly were the eolors Of the Commander
inc hief and his staff but tine rank and nile rarely
wore these colors. The prevailing colors, says
Mr. Westcor, were brown, mixed up with red or
