Don't Want to Stand on Her Head.

Jane EliSa--a very pretty and inter.
esting young lady Of eighteen summers
and seventeen winters--from the ooun
try--stepped into Brady's gallery a
few weeks since to get dozen album
cards. She was accompanied by male
cousin who "knows the ropes" After
being gracefully posed, the operator
took look at her through the instru-
ment, when Jane Eliza blushed, patted
her dress down so as to make il touch
the floor all around, and hurriOdly
beckoned her escort to approach.
"Don't let that horrid-looking man
look at me through that thing; please
make him stop"
"Why not9" whispered he.
IL don't like to tell you," she blush
ingly answered.
ooh, l must insist on knowing" said
he.
"Well, " answered she, "if must tel
you lowering her voice awfully,) it will
turn me upside down."
Our city friend, the cousin, smiled
he couldn't help it-and told her he
thought she was mistaken.
"0h, no." said she; "Mr. E. is ar
engineer, and when he surveyed The
railroad last summer, he stopped at pal
ever so long, and he told US that if yor
looked through one Of those glasses
the object, Chats what he said) wa
turned upside down. He is a very sci
entifc man, and ought to know, yor
know"
Our friend assured her he woult
not have her upset, if he could help it
and told Mr.. Brady's representative
who had been watching the mystcri
Gus conference with some interest, tha
the young lady thought he might nov
proceed to "tako her." without any fur
ther preparation, and she was accor
dingly "toOk" The joke leaked ou
somehow, and Jane Eliza's lady friend
quiz her often about her fear Of ere

THE CoTToN QUESTION IN ENGLAND.
"A private letter from Manchester,
England, dated November 22d, and re-
ceived by the Africa, says:
1--WE have no sensible distress in
Lancashire just yet. S, me of the mills
are working full time, bat the most are
working three days in week, We
have had long season of prosperity,
and masters and men have been able TO
save money, so that the pinch will not
be very serious for the winter. There
has been:much money made by cotton
spectators, and should there come a
prospect of a free supply or panic,
more cotton wonld come to light than
is supposed. IN. Y. Commercial Ad'

Mrs. John G. BE kinridge is said to
be holding receptions at BALTIMORE
A party was lately given in her honor,
at which all the ladies wore badges of
red and white ribbon, and the cake was
frosted with the same colors. She is
represented as the center of the female
Secession element of Baltimore. This
is the nearest approach to Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis promised reception at the
White House.

CoTToN SPECULATION IN EUROPE
The English papers state that the cot
ton speculation is going on at tremen-
dOus rate; it is at present carried on by
ladies, clergymen, lawyers aud others
not regularly engaged in business, who
have fallen into the mania as others did
into the railway mania Of 1845. The
professional cotton spectators have
retired from action. They know that
the bubble must burst.

Seward very felicitously expressed it
the other day, when some Over-zealous
friends of his were trying to warn him
against the intentions of a supposed ri
val: ut would be as absurd for one OF

plans for future political advancement,
as it would have been for Noah to have
used up his forty days in the ark, lay
ing out town lots on Mount Ararat."

PoToMAC AND BUTTERMILK.-An
amusing story is told by some Dubuque
BOYS of the "Iowa First" about the
changes which certain password un-
derwent about the time of the battle OF
Springfield. One of our Dubuque Off
GERS, whose duty it was to furnish the
guard with password for the night,
gave the word "Potomac." A German
on guard, not understanding distinctly
the difference between the Bs and Ps,
understood it to be "Bottomic," and
this, in being transferred to another,
was corrupted to "Buttermilk." Soon
afterward, the officer who had given the
word wished to return through the lines
and, approaching sentinel, was order
ed to halt, and the word demanded
HI gave "Potomac."
"Nicht right you don't pass init dis
way"
"But this is the word, and will
pass"
"No, you stan;" at the same time
placing a bayonet at his breast in a man
ner that told Mr. officer that "Potomac"
didn't pass in Missouri.
"W hat is the word then2"
"Buttermilk, d-n you"
"Well, then, Buttermilk, d--n you
"Dat is right; now you pass NIT your
self all about your pizness."
There was then general overhaul.
ing of the password, and the difference
between Potomac and Buttermilk being
understood, the joke became one Of the
! laughable incidents of the campaign.
