\ PECULIAR RELATToNsmIP.-Mr. How
ard was one day at great dinner party
which the late Duke of Norfolk gave to
several of his neighbors. He sat at the
bottom of the table, the Duke being at
the head, and one of the gentlemen who
sat near the Duke called out to him and
said, "Mr. Howard, will you drink a
glass of wine with me? There was con-
nexion between our families" With a
great deal of pleasure, sir" replied Mr..
Howard, " though don't know exactly
what the connexion is; but in this county
there have been several marriages between
neighbors. Why, sir" resumed the
gentleman, "your ancestor, Lord William
Howard, hung up twenty-three out of
twenty y-seven of my family, and you must
own that was tie"

WHAT Has Been DoxE.-J. ". Sulian,
of Indiana, Republican, in recent speech
in Congress, said that leases may arise
in which patriotism itself may demand
that we trample under our feet some Of
the most vital principles Of the Constitu.
tion;" and he adds melancholy and
alarming fact to sustain his treason, that
this has been done already by the pres.
ent Administration" Administration
that Democrats are called upon to sustain,
and for refusing to do so are denounced
by its mnions as traitors. Isn't this a
startling confession--one calculated tC
arouse the fears of the patriotic every
where? A Republican member of Con
gress states in his place on the floor o.
Congress, that the }" Administration has
trampled under foot the most vital prin
ciples of the Constitution" Think o
this, Democrats, and remember the party
that is seeking to rob you Of your liber
ties.

A BIRD collector died in Paris lately. A
trait Of sagacity on his part was to insure
the attendance of the jackdaws Of the
Louvre to his funeral, which he effected
in the following manner His residence
was on the Quais Voltaire, and for the last
seven years of his life he always placed on
his balcony, exactly at three o'clock in the
afternoon, several plates of meat cut in
small pieces. The jackdaws were most
punctual in their attendance. lie had,
therefore, only TO give directions in bis
will that his funeral should take place at
three precisely. The jackdawS came that
day as usual-and if he had wished to
have real mourners. he certainly succeed
cd for AS their usual meal had not been
prepared, they were loud in their lamen.
tations, to the amazemcnt Of all the friends
who attended his obsequies.

ABOLITION LoGIc-CAUsE OF TEE WA1.
TO the Editors Of the N. Y. Espress:
The disciple of Aristotle who writes the
nti.slavery articles in the Tribune should
have pedestal in the temple Of some Of
the great logicians. His particular style
of argument and logic is this: Had slave.
~ never existed, Abolitionism would
never have been known, consequently
slavery is wrong and must be extermiOa-
ted. maugre all laws, human and divine.
Q. f. d. Shade Of Sir WIN. Hamilton, is
this argument. Follow it ont little:
Suppose a war between England and
france. Had France never existed there
could have been no consequently
France is the cause OF the war, and the
French should be exterminated. A man
burns his neighbor's house; had his
neighbor never had house, he could MT
have burned it, consequently -the existence
of the house was the cause Of the arson,
and the man did right in burning Il; but
the owner must be punished, and this is
the food, "the nursing mothers" /" Of the
Tribune give their children. and the whole
Abolition party shout HOsannds to 10
logical acumen. Bahl

A STRONG PUFF.-A Lancaster PENN
critic in describing the singing Of lady,
says:
"When she sings one of those exquisite
ballads, the entire atmosphere changes,
the ceilings, walls and air rain richest
melodies, harmony springs from the floor
and benches. and the audience is held
speIl-bound in harmonious enchAntmeat,
while music with its voluptious swells,
rolls from the artists lips, naturally and
seemingly with as little effort as liupid
waters bubble from the bosom Of the
EARTH"

WHY CATS EAT FIRST AND WASH THEIR
FACES AFTERwARDS-Ac cat caught a
sparrow and was about to devour it, when
the sparrow said-"No gentleman eats
until he has washed his face"
The cat, struck with this remark, set
the sparrow down, and began to wash his
face with his paw, but the sparrow few
away.
This vexed puss extremely, and he said
-" AS long as live, I will eat first and
wash my face afterwards"-which cats do
to this day.
