A sneezInr Han.l

The manager of a Berlin theatre got I'D
a drama in which human head was to Be
offered to tyrsnt. In order to produce
as much effect as possible, he resolved to
use human head. On the stage was
placed table covered with cloth, on the
table was basin, and an actor, concealed
under the cloth, poked up his head through
q hole IN the table, 80 as to seem to Be
placed in the basin. The effect was pro-
digious the audience applauded and
trembled. Unluckily wag, who was be-
hind the scenes, sprinkled some snuff on
che basin, and just as the tyrant finished
his address to the severed head Of his enc
my, the head replied by a hearty ft of
sneeziDg, changing the audience Hfrom
grave to gay" with remarkable expedition.

sGold is weaker and inactive. The sat-

drag on the market, against which the
bulls do not care to contend. There is on

again to 222.
Gold closed at 221s.

An exchange wittily says that the great
danger to Thomas Is that Hood s0iH be cap
tNred. In his present position he il in7aI-
liable to the Union cause. We trust that
no Union officer will be so ineonsiderste as
to remove him from it, by capturing or
killing him.
