Herein the editor discerns famous opening
for escape, of which he is not slow to avail
himself. He goes through the whole collec-
ton, thoughttully, passing lavish encomlums
upon the wit, the fancy, the eccentriclty, the
ingenuity, and the many other subtle ele-
ments discerned by him in each concelt.
''But they can be of no use to us, you know.
We don't print our paper in colors, and
mores the pity, since it debars us from
making use of such charming original ideas
as these. Chromo-ithography, my dear
young lady-if you will allow me to say
so much - is yet in its infancy; but
there's a good time coming, and we
may be happy yet" And, having thus dis
posed of the matter, the editor recommends
his fair vistant to try her luck with an emf
| nent manufacturer of toy-books, to whom he
gives her line of introduction written upon
| the perfumed official nOte-paper.
The fact is, that at no one time, nor IN any
| country, do there ever exist more than very
few writers and artists capable of stamping a
comic paper with wit and humor OF .he
sharpest and yet most refined quality.
| Thackeray, Gilbert Beckett, Douglas Jer-
| rold. and others whom it would be needless
TO name here, have not been equalled by later
members of the Punch staff-neither has John
Leech's place been yet acceptably filled.
! Of artists, more especially, the remark
made is true. l have at hand letter
received years ago from humorous HH<rateur
then of much mark in the London circles, and
of yet more promise, but who has since passed
away. Speaking of the difficulty OF establish
. ing a good comic paper, even in London, he
said, "Comic power is the thing wanted. o
artists-consdered as artists-we have ter
rible surplus; but humOr is much rarer com
modify" What was true in this respect {
dozen years ago is no less SO now, There
are not, at the present time, in England, Sly
7 artists gifted with humor in the hlghes

READY-MADE CLOTHING

R1HE ladies, gentlemen and young peo-
i pie OF Columbia, who may be in want
OF nSOMETH1NG TO WEAR" are respect
1nlly and earnestly invited by the ladies of
the Industrial Association to call at their
Work.room, in the Female Academy, and
examine the articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
round ready to exhibit the ready-madc gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of tho Association is to fur
nlsh constant employment to those who,
having, been impoverished by the war, now
Iepcnd on the needle for daily bread.
Docs not such an object commend itself to
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
o'o,Peopte prefer Northern made garments,
ana that there is, therefore, no more work
Tor mem? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in

NNHE various diseases to which that no
Il Bile and useful animal, tho horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known of them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to
be offered to the public under different
forms, with high encomiums, and sane
toned by dignified names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little use.
fnd many' entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. X good medicine, free
from objections Of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
!uable horses. We therefore offer the only
good mcdicine-the true GERM A n
HORSE POWDER" which has proved so
efficaSious in all tho diseases. 1T is pre-
pared from the original recipe of DR.. Hei-
nitsh, OF Germany. It's extraordinary vir-
tues are attested to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still stands, first
in the estimation OF all experienced farm
crs and aGricuturists as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundcred by eating to excess or
drinking cold water whom heated, to such
as have symptoms of Slanders or arc ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for Indigestion, distcmper, hide
bound, drowsincss, loss of appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting OF flesh, sore
eyes, swellcd legs, grease, mango, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries off all foul humors, purifies and
cools the blood, and prevents horses be-
coming stiff and foundcrcd. 1t is stimu-
i,s for weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and Gnc, giving n

Mons. Dennery, the well-known
dramatist, was recently expressing
to Mons. Auber his astonishment at
the composers wonderfully fertility.
"When I think you wrote Fra Dia-
vola, Massaniello, Haydee, LIE Do
miho, Noir"-Mons. Auber smiled
and interrupted him, saying, "You
forgot the best thing I have done"
"Eh, what is that?'' ''I have kept
clear of wives"
A gentleman, speaking of the mar
ried state before his daughters,
whom he wished to dissuade from
mntrimony, said: "She who mar
ries, does we'll; but she who does not
marry, does better"
"Well, then," said the young lady,
II will do well; let those who choose
do better"
"Nothing can be done we'll that
is done in hurry" oracularly de-
clareda certain pompous politician
of New York, one day lately, on
the steps of the City Hall.

We are told of man of family, who
took the base ball fever and Joined a
club. Every time his club played with
any other, it was sure to be beaten.
The players finally became desperate:
they accepted challenge to play a
match game with a club somewhat
younger in years, but older in practice.
They then began the practice game,
playing early and often, determined to
win-if they could. The appointed
day arrived, the game was played and
the gentleman got beat His wife hadn't
heard her husband talk much of any
thing except base ball, for weeks, and
thought the time had come when he
might be easily cured.l A messenger
was promptly on the ground at the
close of the game and presented the
defeated man with boquet objects.
On nearing his home, he met his little
boy who came to meet him with
drum, on which he was beating a
mournful march. On going to the
supper table he was given cup Of beet
tea Every covered, dish contained
nothing but beets. The gentleman
gave up beat, and don't even mention
the name of base ball anymore.

A RACE AROUND THE WoRLD.-Last

with cargoes of tea, simultaneously lost
sight OF each other after three days,
and, after the lapse of three or four
months, found themselves again side by
side in the British channel, and actual
ly arrived at their anchorage in the
Thames within about half an hour of
each other. The same thing has oc-
Cured again this year, and, curiously
enough, the race was between the same
two vessels, all the others of the fleet
that sailed from China in company,
having been left far behind. The DIFF
