kOssuth's New Proclamation.

The proclamation to the Hungarians, pur-
porting to have been issued by KOssUTn, al
though its authenticity is not fully establish
ed, may reasonably be regarded as genuine.
1t is dated at Buda-Besth, December n, and
is stirring appeal to the patriotism of the
Hungarian people. The following passage
defines the purpose of the new movement:
"Refusing to accept any kind of compro-
mise, the great majority of the nationis firmly
resolved to shake off the detested yoke OF
German domination. But as the external
signs of our national life have in recent times
not been in harmony with that resolution, our
natural allies abroad have conceived doubts
as to the firmness of our designs These
doubts have been the greatest obstacle to the
efforts of our government tending to the de
iverance of the country. The removal OF
that obstacle becomes an imperious necessity
before the new turn of European events
turn offering prospect full of promise to all
the people who grOan under foreign yoke
We must give sign of life in order that our
natural allies may be convinced that against
the common enemy they may surely count
upon the arms of the Magyars We must
hold ourselves in readiness, in order that the
ties of the terrified Austrian may not entan-
gle our nation in the snare. We must pre-
pare to be in a state to seize energetically the
favorable opportunity"

major, and lit upon me at last with really quite
pitiful expression.
"Oh, Mrs. Mivins," said he, "Inevermeant
you any harm. Do pray, protect me-"
Oh, no harm at ALE exclaimed my hus-
band, presenting our little account, carefully
made up to the latest dates" no harm at all,
if you win settle that"
"And this added Mrs. Brown, dropping an
other courtesy, and drawing forth document
of similar nature.
AZ have not got one single farthing," OBJ
served Mr.. Adolphus Conroy, with desperation:
draw vail over what followed; indeed,
was so upset that became entirely uncon-
scious. when recovered, the sentinels were
still at their post; Mrs. Browns color was
rather heightened-her hearth brush was
broken in two-my unfortunate ledger was
sitting on the carpet of our Spare Room in a
supplicatory attitude.
eff you will only spare me, my dear Mrs.
Brown" cried he; 81 have an uncle in town,
who will repay you all, and more"
81 dare say you have" replied she, con-
temptuously. 'You have an uncle in every
street."
"Yes but this is regular one, this is"
urged he; "and he's very fond of his nephew,
do assure YOU"
"Then he must have very peculiar taste"
quoth the sergeant-major, sententiously.
" He will pay you all ten times over," cried
the poor wretch, rubbing his back. :" don't
ask you to lose sight of me. Come with me
to his house, Mrs. Brown, if you will not trust
me-"
Trust you." exclaimed that lady, with the
Hottest scOrn.
Nevertheless, since there was offered this
scintilla of hope, she put on her bonnet, and
accompanied her victim into the street, not
withstanding the sergeant-major's remon-
strances. In about five minutes, she returned
alone; Mr.. Somers, alias Conroy, had called a
cab in tie next street, and escaped from the
ayenger.
(" He got o.. tie boz," said she, cor | would
-r-- o. "ith Ina. s-L~-osar no went How
ever, he's had something to remember me by,
| at least"
When we came to examine the bulky and
ponderous baggage, it turned out to be brick
bats. All that he had left of personal prop
erty in our Spare Room-he having taken
away all his fine clothes by degrees and un-
observed-was a false cravat, called, / be-
lieve, ''Dundreary," and little box full of
ingenious instruments for forcing locks.
The misfortune has put us rather out of
heart in respect to single-gentlemen dodgers
Can any one tell US what is to be done with
our Spare Room?

USEFUL BALLAsT.-Passing along Delaware
avenue yesterday, where vessel was unload
ing, we found that her ballast was being con-
veyed into storehouse. The ballast in ques-
ton proved to be an article mined in Russia
literal rock salt. The vessel was ballasted
IN Russia, made voyage to England and
thence to Philadelphia, the ballast remaining
unshifted. The salt sells here for twenty
dollars per ton. 1t is mined in blocks that to
the eye appear to be quartz. 1t is sufficient
ly hard for building purposes, but it is, of
course, soluble, and would yield to the action
of the elements. Farmers buy it for their
cattle. thirty pound block of it placed in
box in field, viii supply herd of cows
for some weeks. 1t is as hard as stone. Or
binary salt would dissolve in one-fourth the
time. No other country yet known yields
this peculiar product. 1t is quarried precise
ly as we quarry marble. Philadelphia North

THE MADNESS OF GEORGE III.-"All light,
all reason, all sound of human voices, all the
pleasures of this world of God, were taken
from him. Some slight lucid moments he had;
in one of which the Queen, desiring to see
him, entered the room, and found him sing
ing hymn, and accompanying himself at the
harps;chord. When he had finished, he knelt
down and prayed aloud for her, and then for
his family, and then for the nation, conclu-
ding with prayer for himself, that it might
please God to avert his heavy calamity from
him, but if not, to give him resignation TO
submit. He then bnrst into tears and rea-
son again fed. What preacher need moral
ize on this story what words save the SIM
plest are requisite to tell it? 1t is too ter
rible for tears. The thought of such misery
smites me down in submission before the Ru-
Ter OF kings and men, the monarch supreme
over empires and republics, the inscrutable
dispenser of life, death, happiness, victory
Oh, brothers, said to those who heard me
first in America; oh, brothersl speaking
the same dear mother tongue; Oh, comrades
enemies no more, let US take mournful hand
together as we stand by this royal corpse and
call a truce to battle Low he lies to whom
the proudest used to kneel once, and who
was cast lower than the poorest; dead whom
millions prayed for in vain. Hush, strife ana
quarrel, over the solemn grave Sound
trumpets, a mournful march. Fall, dark cur
tain, upon this pageant, his pride, his grief,
his awful tragedy ln-Ihdekerdy.

MAJOR GENERAL GRANT NOT U. S. GRANT
In recent trip over the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad, in company with Major General w.
I. Sherman, that gentleman, who is warm
admirer of General Grant, related circum-
stance as to how he obtained the initials of
"U. 81" which we do not recollect having
seen in print. He stated that General Grants
baptismal name was Hiram Ulysses, and he
bore that name till he was appointed cadet
at West Point. The member of Congress
who nominated him somehow got his name
mixed up with that of his brother, and he
was appointed as Ulysses Sidney, and that
name once on the records at the Military
Academy could not be changed. He was
baptised into the Military School as q. s.
Grant, and he has ever since borne that
name.

"A blind beggar was one day aecOsted by
clergyman, at whose request he detailed the
circumstances under which he had lost his
sight-aceidental exposure to the blasting OF
rock by gunpowder. The reverend querist'
after listening, said very feelingly, "Weh'
my poor man, pity you, and ecald drop q
tear over your misfortune" at the same time
offering him nothing, "Thank you,sir," re-
piled the beggar; but I'd rather you'd drop
shilling into my hat"

A Visit TO n. LabOuIaye.


On my return home, through Paris, called
upon that great admirer of America, Edward
Rene Lefebre Laboulaye. found him at
home and alone, and enjoyed nearly an hours
conversation with him on a subject which We
both have nearest our hearts. In personal
appearance he is thick-set, well-built man,
of apparently forty-6ve years of age, dark
complexiOned, determined expression Of coun-
tenance, and eyes piercing enough to look
through and through any subject. He speaks
English very well, and much of his reading is
done in our language. You are doubtless
aware that he is, at the present time, the
candidate of the Opposition, or " Liberal" or
Republican party, for the vacant seat in the
lower House of the French Parliament; and
what is more, he is certain of his election
In the late general elections another Repub-
ican was elected in two districts-the one in
question and another in Normandy. TIE
member thus elected has the right to choose
for which he will sit; and, in the interests OF
his party, he resigned that one, Paris, where
none but Republican can possibly be elect
ed. Monsieur Laboulaye assured me that his
nomination was solely due to his work, " Paris
in America" book which has run through
an extraordinary number of editions.
