MISCELLANEOUS.


Three jolly husbands, out in the country,
by the names of Tom Watson Joe Brown and
Bill Walker, sat late one evening bringing at
village tavern, until being pretty well corned,
they agreed that each one, on returning home,
should do the first thing his wife told him. in
default of which he should the next morning
pay the bill They then separated for the
night, engaging to meet the next morning,
and give an honest account of their proceed
ings at home, SO far as related to the payment
of the bill.
The next morning, Walker and Brown were
at their posts, but it was some time before
Watson made his appearance.
Walker began first:
You see when entered my house the can
die was out, and the fire gave but glimmering
light, came near walking into pot of batter,
that the pancakes were to be made of this
morning. My wife was so dreadfully out of
humor at setting up SO long, she said to me
sarcastically,
"Do put your foot in the batterr'
Just as you say Maggy, said /, and without
the least hesitation sat my foot in the pot OF
batter and then went to bed
Next Joe Brown told his story:
My wife had already retired to rest in our
sleeping room which adjoins the kitchen. and
the door of which was ajar. Not being able
to navigate perfectly well, you know made a
dreadful Gathering among the household furni-
ture, and IN no very pleasant tone she bawled
out, aM N-
do break the poridge pot, Joe. ~
No sooner said than done. seized hold of
the bail of the pot, and striking it against the
chimney jam, broke il into an hundred pieces
After the exploit retired to rest and got a
curtain lecture all night for my palms.
1t was now Tim Watson's turn to give an
account Of himself, which he did with very
long face, as follows:
My wife gave me the most unlucky COM
mand in.the world, for, as l was laundering
about up stairs in the dark she cried out,
"Do break your neck-do Timw'

Thought She was sina CHURCH,

During a hard shower the other day, an
elderly lady sought shelterin the Yestibule
of Ford's Theater, on Tenth street. The
theater was formerly a church, and she
was under the impression that it was so
still. Looking around, the old lady OBJ
served the ever attentive and polite Fitz,
who offered chair, and, as usual, made
himself quite agreeable. The old lady re-
marked that it was singular day and
hour for service, and asked what congre-
cation worshipped there Fitz replied
that it was no longer used for that pur-
pose, and had been converted into place
for dramatic representations-rem
by way of parenthesis-that it was the
best in the metropolis. "a thester,n said
she, in tones of unutterable horror, .."l

gets melp and away she went at two-forty
speed, regardless of the elements of digni-
fed propriety.- Warrington Chronicle.

A dispatch of yesterday from Louisville
says:
AN order Just issued by General Boyle
gives much satisfaction TO conservative
men in this section. The press compli-
ments him. The substance is as follows
HEADouARrERs DISTRICT WESTERN KESTUcKT,
LOUISVILLE, November q.
All Commanding Officers serving in this
District are ordered not to permit negro
slaves to enter the camps, and all officers
and privates are forbidden to interfere or
intermeddle with slaves in any way"
General Boyle may consider the COM
pIiments of the Louisville Press enough to
repay him for violating war orders, butwe
can tell him that compliment from the
Press Of that city, for his disposal of ne
gro question, is very doubtful one. Itwas
the Press of Louisville that denounced the
Presidents first call for $1,000 men and
that have ever manifested an extra and al
together superfuous sensitiveness for
slavery, when the war touched that domes-
tic institution. The Journal of that city
has bitterly and persistently opposed the
emancipation proclamation and devoted
itself to the advocacy Of loyalty # it didn't
interfere with slavery. or course it com
plimented General Boyle and we can give
him an infallible recipe for gaining com
pliments from it; l. e. return every fugi-
tive, in spite of official orders, and desire
the upholding of slavery more than the
downfall Of tho rebellion. It was the
Louisville Journal which lately related,
with much apparent gustO, the fact that its
old friend Jack Prewitt had taken away
from regimenta fugitive whom he "re-
eOgnized" as belonging to an acquaintance
of his, in spite of the efforts of the rsgi-
Iasnt to prevent it. General Boyle has as
much cause to feel honOred by this " com
pliment as if he was called approvingly
aBuay boy by professional thief for
having stolen sheep, and no more. tits

The Question Of 1Iedin,ion.

We publish elsewhere a complete COPY
Of the offer by the French Government to
- England and Russia, of which the tele-
graph gave US only partial and'mutilated
rePOTt-in fact, nothing but the prelimi-
nary remarks of the French Minister,
onitting entirely the terms of the offer
made. It will be seen that the Emperor
81 proposes an armistiee of six months, for
friendly mediation, trusting to the infu-
ence Of the three Powers TO induce a peace.
70 this, Bari Russell replies that the time
has not yet come; that the United States
would not be likely TO accept the offer, and
s. that such refusal would prevent any near
repetition of the offer, and that the best
course 10 adopt is to await for time
- longer, the course of events. Neither of
these dispatches are menacing in tone, and
they need excite no particular fears of for
eign interference. England, who has been
y looked upon as the most likely nation to
interfere, and which has shown that moth
ing would please her as well as The dis
ruptiOn Of the United States and the con-
seQuent limitation Of cur military, naval
and civi power, declines to interfere at
ef present, which is equivalent to saying that
she does not propose interfering at any
5 time; for there has been no time when there
vas a better opportunity for negotiation,
apparently, than al the date of the dis
patch. The long inactiOn after the battles
Of the Potomac was disgusting the North,
feeling which was fOrcibly and unmis-
s. sskably shown in the results of the cleo
tions. There was no possible doubt of the
eagerness of the South to accept foreign
aid, and thus, if mediation was intended
at all, the time was favorable.
Russia also declines to interfere, upon
the ground that any proposal on the part
Of European powers would be productive
of q result opposed to pacifcation. France,
therefore, is left to take all the RESPONSE
bility and risk That she will do this is
not probable Even the dispatch of L'Huys
does not propose interference, but only
friendly mediation, and France is too jeal-
Gus Of England to engage in q war with
the United States while England has her
hands unencumbered.
But while this official record does not in
dicate danger, it yet admonishes the Gov
ernment of the United States to push on
the war with the utmost vigor and by its
speedy and honorable termination, remove
all pretezt or reason for any foreign in
tervention

How the English People are Represented.
The Durham (Eng.) Chronicle says that
there are in Great Britain and ireland
seven million four hundred thousand males
above twenty years Of age. Deducting six
hundred thousand for paupers and sixty
thousand for criminals, there remains six
million seven hundred and forty thousand
men who are assumed to be represented in
the national councils by the six hundred
and ffty-six gentlemen who compose the
House Of Commons. OF this whole num-
ber eighty per cent, or five millions four

Interview Between General Scott and

Journal processes to give a conversation
between General Scott and General Banks,
a few days since. The veteran told Gene
raj Banks that he had watched his military
career with,great interest, and compliment
ed him in earnest terms on what he had
accomplished. "You will not" General
Scott said, "expect me to ask your desti-
nation, nor is it necessary, for see that
you have already informed your friends
that you are going South. That was
clever answer, General" General Scott
further said: "My infrmities cause me
to long for a southern climate, but can
not find it nearer than Cuba, and will
not live under foreign flag" General
Banks replied; ave hope in short time,
General, that yeu may have tranquil
residence in any part of the South that you
may desire to visit"

LADIES OF AID SOCIETY We have re-

barrels, comprising your last shipment,
and you may be sure I was glad to see
them arrive, and so were many others.
We had feared that they were lost, as
we supposed they had been shipped on the
mail boat Eugenie, which struck a snag
on the Mississippi and went down with all
her cargo.
Thanks to our good fortune, however,
they are all safe, and we are again in full
blast. The more the fact is known that
our depot exists, tho more it is appreci-
ated Among the troops lately arrived
here was the 10th Ohio regiment, and l
had the pleasure of handing over to DR.
Pierce the two boxes sent from Canton,
0hiO-so you can inform the ladies that
their wishes are complied with.
All the new regiments are applying to
nae for stores, and 1 must beg you to send
all you possibly can spare. What I want
in addition to such things as you have
sent US before are, crackers, tea, sugar,
farina, oat meal, potatoes, apples, dried
beef, butter and cheese, woolen stockings,
and thick shirts and drawers. As much
of these as you can send, land as early as
as possible will be faithfully bestowed.
am urgent in asking you to do all you
can for us, because other societies seem to
have their attention called where there is
more smoke of battle; but 1 tell you there
is need enough here. The OYerton hospital
is again nearly full, and the regimental
hospitals are in need too.
Thankful, for past favors, and sure
that I can always rely upon you and
your co-laborers when hard pressed.
