AT a celebrated Partisan restaurant, in 1861,
an extempore bet was decided. interesting in
its way. A Mississippi gentleman won . big
pile. He bet that he would bring five bun>
dred drops out of an empty bottle from which
the last supernaculum had been drained
1t was done in the fairest vay, without any
dodge, on the purest natural philosophical
principles. The secret is this: There is a
great deal Of moisture still remaining in the
bottle, only it is dispersed all over the inside
surface in homeopathic particles, too minute
to be poured ont in any way. You take ths
bottle, hold it nearly horizontally, shake j,
mp we'll, and strike the lower part Of the mech
repeatedly on your hand. After You have
manipulated it in this way for minute OF
two THE length of time depends on the per
formers skill, the moisture becomes collect
ed and condensed in the neck. and then you
can jerk out upon plate or sheet of paper
more drops in . quarter of minute than yor
can count in. a quarter of an hour. II made
quite sensation at the time, but soon spread
about. 4 Frenchman who was present ex
hibited the trick the next night at the Mai
son dor.

A London letter in the Chicago Tribune
maintains that this is the golden age of liter
AIRY men as regards the prosperity Of their
private circumstances, and goes into details
as fellows:
''As Charles Dickens himself has made
known the dispute with his wife, there is no
harm in aluding to it, or in concluding from
the fact that he allows her E5O0 . year, and
that he keeps up both town and country
house on a scale of considerable expense,
that his income is not less than E3,0OO to
$4,000 year, probably yet'mare. His peri
pdical all the year round produces him nearly
half that sum, and his Reading in public
are worth $500 year Mr.. Dickens is gem
erous and sympathetic-alwsysr ready with his
huence. Mr.. Trollop has good income 10 a
Government Office, to begin with. He keeps
his hunters, and is splendidly mounted at the
sport. He usually has a house full ofcompa>
nv, though he works as hard IS any man
know. He is in no danger of want, even
though the American Congress adheres TO
Its unfair and suicidal course.
Kingsley's professorship at Cambridge,
though it appears to have taken every drop
of manliness out Of him, has at least supplied
him with competent income and added con-
siderably to the means which his church liy-
ing supplied. OF friend Topper, what shall
be said He is immensely proud of tho pop.
ularity Of bis works in America, and inyari,
ably recurs to it in speaking of the contempt,
nous treatment he meeta With from critics al
home, and on beautiful estate in Surry,
thanks his stars that If the censors are against
him, he can thrust hundred thousand sdi
tons in their faces. Alfred Tennysoh, had

WEARING OF THE GRAY. It's rank
injustice to accuse the Post of being I'M
friendly to the gray. Mrs. Post adores
the color, and thinks it decidedly more
handsome than either blue, black,
brown, or red. Most of her staff wear ii
on their heads, in preference to any
other color, and the Local is only pre-
vented donning his gray coat, brass but
tons and all, by the fact that the vandalic
Sheridan carried 1t off in one of his
atrocious and diabolical raids. IfSheri-
dan didn't do 1t, some of his bummers
did, and it's all the same. If the dashing

Of the approaching crisis in Ireland
