BAD1Es. time ago there was a
dancing party given up northwest; most
of the ladies present had little babies,
whose noisy pervcrsity required too much
attention to permit the mothers to enjoy
the dance. A number of gallan. young
men volunteered to watch the young ones
while the parents indulged in a "break
down. No sooner had the mothers left
the babies in charge of the mischievous
devils, than they stripped the infants,
changed their clothes, giving the apparel
of one to another. The dance over, it was
time TO go home, and the mothers hurried
ly took each baby in the dress of her
own, and started, some to their homes ten
or fifteen miles of, and were far on their
way before daylight. But the day follow
ing there was tremendous row in the set
Element; mothers discovered that a single
night had changed the sex of babies--ob-
servation disclosed the physical phenom-
cnon, and then commenced some of the
tallest pcdestrianism; living miles apart,
it required two days to unmix the babies,
and as many months to restore the women
to their natural sweet dispositions. To
this cay it is unsafe for the baby mixers to
venture into the territory.

FROM NEW YORK.
Greeley Internationally Declines
Bismemberment Of itaIy-The Ches
Rpeake Pirate.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The Tri-
bune says: Candidates for the Austrian
Mission may be interested i'll knowing
that Mr.. Greeley has received official
notice of his appointment thereto and
has given due notice that he uncondi-
tiomally decline the post.
The Herald's correspondence from
Rome, under date OF the 10th ult., says ::
What the victorious ecclesiastical and
legitimate party aim at just now is
nothing more nor less than Il dismem-
berment OF the Italian scheme, openly
advocated by the journals of both France
and Rome. Upper Italy, from the Alps
TO the Adriatic, would be assigned to
Prince Herbert, after the abdication OF
Victor Emanuel. Central Italy would
revert to the Pope, and Naples, with
Sicily, resume their allegiance to
France. 1t remains to be seen whether
the Menabra ministry will be able to de-
fond Italy from the impending stroke.
In the case of John e. Braine, the
alleged Chesapeake pirate, who is now
confined in Kings county penitentiary,
Attorney General Stansbery refused to
interfere, he having some time ago been
appealed to for his opinion as to wheth-
or the prisoner could be included in the
terms granted to the rebels at the sur
render. The Attorney General suggest
ed that he be tried, when the jury may
determine with reference to his connec-
ton with the Confederate service.
Braine's trial will, consequently, be
proceeded with.

Boston Wool Market.
BosToN, December 9.

BOSTON, december :.
The wool market has ruled quiet dur
ing the past week, and transactions foot
up much smaller aggregate than last
reported. The movement among the
trade, noted last week, during which
considerable lots of low fleece wool
changed hands OH speculation, has not
been followed by any corresponding de-
mand on the part Of consumers, and it
is now very doubtful whether we shall
see any material improvement in trade
till after the first of January.
But choice fine woods are firmly held,
and the few safes, lately made, have
been at full and comparatively high
prices. The coHsumptive demand is
not yet active enough, however, for sell
lers to look for any material advance.
The stocks available here, and in 9TH
er Eastern markets, have been much re-
duced during the last month or six
weeks, notwithstanding the apparent
slackness of demand and dullness of the
goods market.
Sales Of domestic for tho week have
been moderate. and foot up 725, 900 lbs,
at u range of 26a55c for fleece, and Pa

BY THE CABLE.
Telegraph to the Register,l

LONDON, December 5.-Copious e1-
tracts of the Message of President john
SON is published. In commenting, the
Times has the following: The Message
shows that Mr.. johnson has learned
nothing. He transcends himself in i'm
prudence. He regards his office as abso-
Lutte severeigns do their prerogatives.
He forfeits all respect. 1t is hard to say,
where the hope of the people of the
United States lies between Mr.. johnson
on one side and Mr.. Stevens on the 9th
er.. The other journals use similar Ian
guage. The reference in the Presidents
message to the Alabama claims, coupled
with Lord Stanley's dispatch to MI
Ford on the same subject, has created
considerable distrust in financial circles.
PARIS, December 5.-The discussion
ofthe question of the French occupancy
of Rome was continued in the Corps
Legislatif yesterday. NJ. Theirs, in a
long speech, defended the policy of the
government in preserving the temporal
power of the Pope. He characterized
General Garibaldi as the falcon with
which Italy hunts. All the French
Ntroops have left Rome.
