THE SQUIRTING RING.

an. de Gulnes, ambassador Of France at
Berlin, had greatly mortified the Prussian ne
bles, and especially the other foreign minis
tsrs, by-the ostentstlous pomp which be dis
PLAYED. Those whose limited means be thus
&c ipsed longed for some opportunity to wound
the vanity Of the proud man who daily hum
bled theirs, and excited their envy. At this
crisis, a Russian ambassador, who was return
ing home to present 20 bis own court bis new
" married bride, stopped on bis way at Berlin
Prince Dolgorouki, the Russian ambassador
there, did the honors OF the Russian court to
bis countryman, and gave him and his wife q
dinner, 10 which were invited all the corps di-
ploms,ic. NJ. de Guines was seated next to the
bride. The lady, who had been initiated into
all the court gossips, bad enlisted under the
banner Of the indictments, and taken upon her
self the task Of vexing the magnificent French
man. She had placed upon her finger a ring
Of very exquisite and very curious workman
ship, to which she called the attention OF her
neighbor, during the course Of the dinner. As
be stopped to examine Che Jewel, the wearer
pressed a spring concealed on the side Of the
ring within Der hand, and ierkei a small guam
titY Of water into the eyes Of the ambassador
The ring contained a syringe. The minister
wiped bis face, jested good humoredly on the
diminutive little instrument, and thought no
more Of It. But his fair enemy had not vet

ambassador. Having reflled the squirt unper-
ceived hv him, she called his attention to her
self and again discharged the water In bis face.
NJ. de Guines looked neither angry nor sbasi-

OF Jest exeites laughter the first time: when re-
peated it may be excused, especially il pro-
cseding from a lady as q act of youthful lev
ity; but the third time il would be looked upon
as an iosult, and you would instantly receive
in exchange the glass Of water you see before
ne; Of this, Madame, have the honor to give
you notice. Thinking he would not dare 70
execute bis threat, the lady once more filed
and emptied the little water-spout at the ex-
pense OF NJ. de Guines, who instantly acknowl-
edged It, and repaid it with the contents Of his
glass, calmly adding: q warned you, Madame.
The husband took the wisest course. declaring
the ambassador was perfectly justified in thus
Furnishing bis wife's unjustifsble rudeness.
The lady changed her dress, and the guests
were requested to keep silence on the affair;
an injunction obeyed as is usual in such cases."

Anybody who has travelled in the fever
and ague portion Of the west has noticed
that while the disease was every
where around him-a few miles before and
few miles behind, it was never known, if
the tavern keepers aud real estate specula-
tors might be credited, in the precise spot
where be was standing. sThey'ye got it
aWfully over yonder, but we never have
none oft here" isthe general answer to a
question touching the salubrity of the re-
gion. Some OF the New York papers are
discussing their situation and prospects in
much the same cordial spirit. They all
agree that all the other papers are having
hard time of it, but each holds itself up
as the single exception. Each boasts of
their increased circulation, which is doubt
less correct, for the circulation of papers
generally has increased, and each dwells on
the losses which the falling on in the adj
yeFtising must have inflicted on its neigh
bors. But better times are in prospect
Business has begun TO adapt itself 10 the
state Of war. Now channels of commerce
have opened. Oar enormous expenditure
is almost wholly at home. Our importa-
lions have fallen off immensely, while our
Preparations of breadstufs are bringing
foreign nations in debt to US. The articles
that We have ceased to import are mainly
articles Of luxury, or at least not Of prime
necessity, and we can get along very well
without them. Thearticles that other ma
lions take of us they must have, and no
thanks 10 them for buying of us.
Moreover, good many men in New
York and elsewhere lin Wheeling, we
trust, among the rest.) have made the dis
coyery that however little trade may be
moving, they who advertise in the ncwspa-
pers that are read will get it. The papers
were never before read as much as they are
now, and the advertisements never had SO
good chance of reaching theeyes of those
who buy as now.

this policy may develope their powers Of

break. Certain it is, that since the seizure
of the forts at Ha.tetas, the diseoutentthat

TnE New York Express notices an ex-
.pressiOn of feeling that we have long ex-
pected and that is alike useful to tIiecoun-
try and creditable to its patriotism the
clisinclinatiou to purchase anything of
British production. When the expressions
of the mother country were driving the
colonies to revolt, leagues were formed to
discourage ths use ofBritish manufactures.
These leagues were an important auxiliary
10 the patriotic cause. They should be re-
vived. The attitude of England, SO false
to all her professions, SO utterlyin repudi-
alton of her principles, has been taken in
tue interests of her trade. Some natural
hatred of us, some memory Of the old hos
tility doubtless entered into her motives,
but the real incentive is commercial She
has turned her back upon her principles,
because they were in the way of her man
uh,ctures. She has already began to see
that the market of the loyal States is of
some value to her. If in addition to the
natural causes which have interfered with
our trade with England, patriotic feeling
should be generally excited against rem
tlering the profits of trade to men who are
aiding our enemies, we could touch the
Lords of Manchester and Leeds in their
most sensitive point, their pockets. The
Elpress says:
"Roreign Exchange is so run down be-
low the real par, that everybody is glad to
see that the Banks of England must soon
be sending more millions to replenish the
vaults OF the Banks of New York. The
cause of this is not alone or lnrge grain
exports, which turn the tide of trade iu our
favor, not along the Morrill, quasi prohib-
itory tarifE-but logged determination
on the part of the people of the North to
touch not, taste not, handle not British
goods or British manufactures,-ns long

they do. There is growing indignation
and contempt arising against the British
people and the British government,-be-

Yesterday morning NE found our weak
horse no stronger, and had to abandon the
idea of proceeding farther in ambulance
We held council of war before breakfast,
and finally decided to take passage in one
to Phillippi. 1t was rough riding, but we
had become somewhat used to rough US
age. To reach the wagon we had to walk
half mile in the mud and rain, carrying
our own baggage. 1t afforded me IN OPP
portunity to take an inventory of my stock
in hand, and here it is.
One carpet sack, partially filed with
very dirty shirts.
One Secesh cannon ballFrom Greenbrier.
Two secesh pipes, captured at Green
brier.
one Laurel root pipe, present from a SOL
der. -
One old squirrel rife, captured at Cheat
Mountain.
One box of mountain plants, an offering
to better half.
One straw. basket for Lizzie. to be han

All these had to "pack" that's the
word here) to the wagon, and was glad
when rid of the load.
My teamster was very communicative.
He had been teaming it since July, and
knows theroad we'll. From his story the
women along the line, mostly wives and
daugtcrs of Seccssionists with the rebel
army. are glad of the war, rs it has rid
them of bad husbands, and given worse
beaux. In fact. he presented very sad
picture as to female morality along the
road from Webster to Elkwntcr.
