COOP FOR FoRrY TUNEs.-The Shelby
Clnd) COnripr says:
Organs in the churches have become very
fashionable of late In almost every church
you go into, you will find one of these instru-
ments. a friend of ours who lives IN II
ncighboring village, rclatcd to us on ycstcr-
day an amusing incident which occurred in
their church
lie said, to be in fashion, they must have an
organ. The congregation could not afford to
pay an organlst, so they got sclfncting organ,
compact instrument, we'll suited to the pur-
pose, and constructed to play forty tunes
The sexton had instructions how to set it
going, and how to stop it; but unfortunately,
he forgot the latter part of his business and,
after singing the first four verses of a hymn
before the sermon, tho organ could not be
stopped, and continued playing two verses
more; then, just as tho clcrgymcn completed
tho words, let us pay" tho organ again
clicked and started another tune.

FAREWELL TO LORD BRoUGHAM- late
Paris letter says; The venerable Lord Broug-
ham, now verging on his ninetieth year, passed
through Paris several weeks ago on his way to
his pleasant villa in the vicinity Of Cannes, IN
the south of France He is still sprightly,
vigorous, clear headed old man, still retaining
much of that fire which used to wake his an
taponlsts in the House Of Commons more than
6tte years ago Bur, admonshed that his
time OF public service is past, be has Just taken
his leave Of the literary and forensic world in a
letter addressed to q member Of the French
Institute, conveying to him copy OF his ad-
dress at the last English Social Congress-
The parting advice to he world from the vet
eran statesman and scholar is, to live in peace
10 beware of royal murderers-'like Napo-
leon the First. Meanwhile he accords high
praise to the present ruler Of France for his
pa;ifc and enlightened policy. He Insists that
wars are wicked and fruitless, and always retard
civilization And 80 the great Henry Broug'
ham, who has been almost constantly In men
mouths for considerably more than halt a
century, passes from the stage. Few men have
lett more numerous or more substantial mem
oials OF fame. When We look back upon that
long career, so full a1d so varied, We cannot
bDt marvel at the extraordinary genius of the
man-excelliug as he did 10 legal lore, in ora,
tory, inscience, in political philosophy, in moral
theses, and in various departments OF political
knowledge He has DOW gone OF his own ac-
cord into history.

A COLORADO LOCAL DESCRIBES BALL.
The scene was last night brilliant with the
light of beauty's eyes and booming With the
sound of Babcock' brazen instruments. One
gentleman wore broadc!oath from top to toe,
barring the boots. Another was the cynosure
of all eyes, wearing cameo ring on his lett
little finger, and having the cuffs of his shirt
held in the loving embrace of mother OF pearl;
Another wore shirt of Irish linen that had
just been ironed, and impaired very unique
appearance his pumps-what a name-were
genuine rights and efts. Miss Blank was
there, with an aggravating eye, which was as
cute as it was soft and as soft as twas cute
She wore No. high beelers. Another belle,
who walked in beauty like the night, was deck
ed in pair of pink streamers and polnt-lace
handkerchief which was hemmed Oh a sewing
machine, and had her name on the corner In
indellible ink.
Persons who read the accounts Of the re
ceptions" and entertainments, in Washing
ton, will appreciate "the point of the joke. y

ENCOUNTER BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND
A RAT.-A very extraordinary encounter be-
tween a rat and an elephant has recently taken
place 10 the Garden of Plants, London, which
WAS witnessed with interest by hundred of
persons The keepers were engaged In destroy
iog great number of rats, when one OF them
escaped and ran to the spot allotted to the
elephant. Seeing no other refuge, III the
rwinkling Of an eye the rat snugly ensconced
himself in the trunk Of the elephant, very
much to the elephants dissatisfaction. He
stamped MS foot and twisted his trunk around
like the sail of Windmill After these evO-
lutions he stood suddenly still, evidently re-
hecting on what was best to do. He then ran
10 The trough where be is accustomed to drink,
and plunged his trunk into the water, then
returned to his den, and raising his trunk,
with the water he absorbed, he dashed out the
unfortunate rat, which was in sheet OF water
like that issuing from fire engine. W hen
the rat fell to the ground the elephant. seized
him and made him undergo the immersion and
projection four times. At the fourth throw II
fell dead. The. elephant, with majestic air,
hut cool and placid, crushed his annoying little
enemy with his foot, apd then went round to
the spectators to make his usual collection OF
cakes, sugar and other dainties. The teat was
received with vociterous applause, which the
elephant seemed fully to understand and ap

Proposed UNION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCHES. The Union of the two great
bodies toto which the Presbyterian Church in
this country has been divided for some years
past has long been the subject of general
desire not only among the clergy and in deliber-
aive assemblies, but with the mass of the larty
of the two communious As their difference
isnot on points of doctrine so much as oo
modes OF discipline, it is natural that this ten
dancy to coaesce should exist Last May u
committee was appointed by the General AS
SembIies Of each church-the old and new
%hools-to consider and copter upon the feast
hlilty of effecting union. These committees
are composed of some of the first clerical and
lay members of their respective denominations,
and are now deliberating in New York. Ths
result Of their labors is to De reported to the
Heneral Assemblies next May.
