GETTING RID OF BoRE.-The bore who

young poet who was given to this trick,
shut his mouth forever in the following
manner The bore had poem an hour

there is some remnant of lip-politeness yet
extant in Paris. But people look into each

The GREATEST PERIL TO LBERTY.-One
of the greatest perils that bescts the free
States, says Guizot, is found in the aversion
of the ablest and best citizeus to bear office.
The dictator's purple was thrown over Gin
cinnatus while he was following the plough.
Washington, whose history suggested the
remark of Guizot, did not leave private
life until he was summoned by the voice Of
his country, and withdrew again TO the
shades Of retirement as soon as the sense of
duty to his country left him at liberty to
consult his inclnations as Cincinnatus
went back to till his little farm Of four
acres when he saw his country rescued from
the perilous crisis which required his SER
vices.
The remarks of Guizot will be found sun
ported by the history of all republics, and
even monarchies which are administered
with any regard 10 law and popular
rights. The very men in whose hands pow
er is most safely trusted, are least disposed
to seek it aud hold it, most averse to the
humiliatiOns and vexations which are gene
rally necessary to get Office and keep it.
aud most in love with the Independence
the tranquility, the free and full scope and
sway of individuality, which can only be
had in private life. No man can govern
others without parting with something of
his own freedom. And this is the verv last
thing that man Of high moral and intel
lectnal order is willing to part with. The
power, the gains, or the notoriety of Office
are to them a small compensation for the
surrender of liberty.

LET LOUISIANA Look Orr FOR HER ST.
CARA compiled statement e Mr.. Cham
poDier, Of the sugar cro' & Louisiana,
shows "that the total produ~, Of that State
from 1884 to 1868, inclusive, period Of
twenty-five years, was 4,0l4709 hogsheads,
valued at $248.139, ,2GO; aud that of this
quantity the Atlantic ports took l,485. .G53
hogsbeads, and the Western States 2.3I4.-
454 hogsheads." 1t should be remembered
that the sugar crop of Louisiana is fully
protected by duty on foreign sugars Of
twenty-four per cent. and that should she
secede, her crop would be brought into di-
rect competition with the sugar crop of the
West India Islands, with which she has new
er yet been able to compete without such
protection. Under such circumstances can
she afford to sacrifice by secession such
great and important interests, and lay her
plantations waste at the "beck and bid" Of
South Carolina?

GREAT DISTRIBUTION,
AS you Will expend Dollars for Picture

The Bulletin correspondent Of the 9th Of October
in criticisng the different Photographic Pictures at

.sOn the opposite wall hang the contributions OF
J Shew Of san Francisco. These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art Among
them ia Hfe-size head and bust Of Senator Broder-
ick-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator. side by side with these, hang
series Of most wretched bels on the art contributed
bv some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to
set off TO better advantage the productions OF more
skillful competitors.
As that paper don't give the name Of the artist who

SNGULAR.-A singular funeral, and still
more singular burial, took place up in the
town Of Washington, Pennsylvania, recent
ly Patrick Bryson aud his wife were in-
tered in the same grave. They were an
old coupe-he ninety-four, and she but a
few years his junior. He died on Sunday
night, aud she on Tuesday, and the corpses
of both were lifted and carried in the same
funeral train, to the same grave, and then
committed to "the dust from whence they
sprang," side by side. They had lived to-
gether as man and wife for sixty-sx years,
coming from Ireland soon after their mar
riage. They had resided in the town Of
Washington for sixty-hve years, and had
raised large family, aud seen Washington
rise from a wilderness TO what it is now.
They were plain, good, quiet old-fashioned
people, who had commenced the morning
Of life together, and continued through the
noontide to its close.

How They DRILL AT THE SoUTH.-A
young lady from Vermont, teaching in a
town in Georgia, writes to her parents,
thus:
"The people here are very much excited
over the election of Mr.. Lincoln. Yester-
day they formed military company among
the young men, with view to the exigen-
cies Of the hour, and to-day they came out
to drill. The most remarkable part of that
performance to a Yankee girl was to see
each soldier have negro along to carry
his gun"

DEtERTIoNs FROM THE BRITISH NAVY
About year ago, the British Government
offered bounty of ten pounds each for sail
ors. BY this means 1000 men were OBJ
tanned. one-half of whom, according to a
writer in the London Times, have already
deserted the deserters generally taking
service in foreign ships. The ships of war
which brought the Prince to America, suf-
fered a serious depletion in the same way ;
the Hero losing nearly one hundred men,
and the Ariadne forty.

How THE TURKEY WAS NAMED.-An En-
glish writer says that in the time of Henry
the Eighth everything foreign which was
new aud fashionable was called turkey :"
as the richest goods we're imported by mer-
chants whose vessels sailed up the Mediter-
ranean, and who were called Turkey mer-
chants. When the noble American bird
was first served up on English tables, its
excellence gave it the fashionable name
turkey" which has remained unchanged
to the present.
