ANEcporE OF HUME.-An amusing an
ecdote is told of DR.. Robertson; Of Scot
land, who, with ready wit, drew an il
lustration from misfortune of David
Hume, to point an argument: 1t was as
fellows:
The celebrated MI. Hume wrote an es-
say on the sufficiency of human nature;-
and the no less celebrated DR.. Robeitson,.
on the necessity of Revelation, and the in.
sufficiency OF the light of nature Hume
came one evening to visit Robertson, and
the evening was spent on the subject. Ihe
friends of both were present, and it is said
Robertson reasoned with accustomed clear
ness and power. Whether Hume was
convinced by his reasoning or not, we caa5p i1ps
not tell, but at any rate lie did not ass
knowledge his conviction. Hume was%
very much of Il gentleman, and, as herose
to depart, bowed politely to those in the
room, willie, as he retired through tie
door, Robertson took the light to show
him the way:
ooh, sir,'' he continued: aI find the
light of nature always sufficient as he
bowed on.
The street door was open, end presently
he stumblea over sometkfng concealed,
and was pitched down stairs into the street.
Robertson ran after him with candle,
and, as he held it over him, whispered,
softly and cunningly-
you had better have light froms above,
friend Hdi1e," and raising hiFn up, he
bade him good night and rcturned.to hiA
friends.

az the school is transferred thither her
labors will cease and she will return nome.
II was from no interested motive that she
engaged in the work, but in the spirit OF q
missionary and though it may not meet
with the sympathy of all classes, but few
can withhold their respect.
The number Of pupils attending this In
st;tntion is 800, and, including the prinei-
pal, there are six teachers. Inc schooi u
daily opened with religious services accord
ing to the Episcopal form Of worship; and
once a week the children are examined IN
the catechism. The object is to lay the
foundation of religious education at an
early age, in the belief that it may be more
enduring.
The other school was established by the
American Freedmen's Union Commission,
and has seven teachers and two hundred
pupils. Under the belief that it would be
largely attended, corps of ten teachers
was put in service; but several have left,
some for one place and some for another,
until the number is now as above given. a
very moderate charge for tuition has been
made at this school-say twenty-five cents
a month-but the effect has been, it is I'M
derstood, to drive away number of pupils.
At first the school numbered three hun
drcd or more, but it is continually falling
off, and will be smaller in January than
December. The result shows that at the
present time, and among class so desti-
tute, even the smallest fee cannot be col
lcctcd. If it does not prove that, then IT
indicates that a very cheap estimate Is
placed by these people on literary odu-
cation. SNOwDEN.

ssOv q John BuI! Ordered Eggs III
Germany.

Upon certain occasion, in German
hotel on the Rhine, John Bull came down
TO his breakfast one morning with 4 good
appetite and very little knowledge OF the
German tongue at his command, when the
following dialogue ensued between him
and the German waiter in attendance
"Kellner
"YaL, mein Herr" said the waiter
briskly, in response to the summons.
"Kcllner, vertstehcn So mich" said
John, or, as he rendered it, " Vus-tayen
Sc me ?"
"Yah, mein Herr"
He did understand him; those German
walters understand English versions Oh
their own tongue very easily.
"Kellner Zwei-zwei. NuS-taycn sc
me ?'' do you understand me')
"Yah, mcin Herr"
"Zwei, zwei eggs, kellner," said John,
decidedly, as he leaned back in his chair
after this lucid order.
The kellner stood with blank amaze
ment depicted on his countcnance. John
whose wrath was gradually rising, again
delivered his command somewhat after
the style Of a Bengal tiger who can't gel
beyond his cage-bars at boy who has
been teasing him:
"Zwei (Iolding up two fingers,
Zwei! Vus. tayen Sc me ?"
"Yah, yah, mein Herr"
"Wel, then, wnat the devil are you
waiting for? Zwei eggs! Fus-tayen 81
me ?"
"Nein, mein Herr"
"Nine! No, you stupid blockhead
Can't you understand your own language
Zwei-two," holding up his fingers again
"Yah, mein Herr" And the waiter
repeated the pantomime.
"Well, them" said the Englishman
raising his voice, under the impression
held by. nany tIet man understands
foreign language better the louder 1t Is
shouted at him. We'll, then, zwei eggs
E double g-s! Eggs! Two eggs
But the waiter stood helpless, and JONI
began to grow crimson and to rise iron
his seat. when an American near by
who had been witness to the whole scene
put an end to the difficulty.
"Zwei eier, kellner."
"Yah. mein Herr" said the waiter, and
hurried off to get the Englishman's boiled
eggs with alacrity. The latter looked a.
the American for moment, as though
doubling whether to find fault with OF
thank him for the interruption. He came
to the latter conclusion, however, as be
took up paper, and growled out "ThanE
you"; and finally, in rather an un-Englisf
style, commenced a conversation with the
| American.
"Been in this country long, sir ?"
"About a month, sir. Delightful see
merry"
Scenery's well enough. Stupid people
though-thick- SET"
"Indeed. Have you found them SO p
Certainly. Haven't you? If yol
haven't, you will. Three-fourths of ZEN
don't know anything beyond ameerschaun
pipe and sour krout.'
$50 you think so, sir ?"
"Think so! Why, isn't here an in
stance of stupidity under our very nose
at this hotel? Didn't tell that BOBBY o
a waiter halfa-dozen times over to bring
me two eggs, and spell it out for him, ant
yet the ignoramus couldn't comprehend
the order. There's c vast deal of stu
pidity in the German nation, sir" said tn,
Englishman, as he resumed his Gatignan'
ga vast deal of stupidity
The American thought there might be
perhaps, just at that time, but he said no
thing.

PETERSBURG, December 80, 1867.
In q letter written several weeks ago |
mentioned incidentally that the colored
schools Of this city did not appear to be SO
we'll attended as they were last winter.
Having since then made special inquiry, l
learn that the number OF pupils has fallen
off to less than one-half; for whereas there
were then about 300 III regular attend
ance, there are now but 500. know not
how this is to be accounted for except by
supposing that the novelty of the thing is
wearing out. Another cause also may
have its influence; and that is the neces-
sity parents are under to hire out their
children in order to obtain the means of
living. The reduction, at any rate, is not
to be ascribed to the want Of effort on the
part of the associations which have hitherto
sustained these schools. Ample provision
has been made for their support, which is
likely TO be continued as long as the ne
Cessity for it exists.
There are, IN fact, now but two colored
schools in the city, though one Of them
mas TWO or three branches. The first and
most Important is conducted under the
auspices OF the Pennsylvania Branch of
Tue Protestant Episcopal Freedmen'S Com
mission; for besides enjoying the active
support Of the Rev. Mr.. Gibson and other

A "LlTTLE JOKER" IN CoURT.-In the
good old times in Kentucky, when "sub-
stantial Justice" was. administered in a
log cabin after verysslow and easy man

moneys which it was alleged plaintiff had
been defrauded out Of by the ingenious
operation known as "thimble rigging"
In the course of the trial plaintiffs coun-
sci, who happened to be an expert, under
took to enlighten the court as to the moduS
oper1ndi of the performance. Putting
himself into position, he produced the
three cups and the "little JOKER" and
proceeded, suiting the action to the word.
"Ihen, may it please the court, the de-
PENDANT, placing the cups on his knee, be-
gan shifting them so, offering to bet that
my client could not tell under. which cup
was the little JOKER meaning thereby,
may it please the court, this ball, with the
intention Of defrauding my client of the
sum thus wagered. For instance, when I
raise the cup so, your honor supposes that
you see the ball."
Suppose I see!" interrupted the
Judge, who had closely watched the per-
formance, and was sure that he had de-
tected the ball as OF the cups was &C.
cidentally raised. Why, any fool can
see where it is, and bet on it, and be sure
to win. There amt no defraudin, thar"
"Perhaps your honor would like to go q

"Go az? Yes, and double it, too and
