A RATHER NEAT CoApIMENr.-One
of the younger members of the French
Legation at Washington has become noted
for his gallant speeches and his exquisite
compliments. a few evenings since, at
a 'german" at Governor Morgan's, he
was introduced TO witty New York
lady, who has an Enthusiastically fiat
nose. The polite Frenchman discreetly
complimented her on her dancing, 10
which she archly replied-"Ah! l have
heard you are fatterer; but you cannot
find it in your heart 70 compliment me on
my personal beauty, SO you praise my
dancing" MADAME" was the replY,
with a Partisan bow, ''you are an angel
from heaven, but you fell on your nose -
The lady narrated this compliment with
great eomplacency, until it was insinuated
that she was ''fallen angel, since which
she has been silent on the subject -Ne,0

DR.. CAPILLARY's hair dressing is Just
as popular as DR.. Larynx's cough prepara-
ton, yet those who take them could not
be made to believe that these two eminent
physicians are the same person, and that
as both articles came from the same fac
tory, there is more than a suspicion that
both are the self same article. 1t is not
our wish or intention TO do mischief, but
a friend of ours meets sometimes a leaky
clerk of the doctor, who informs him that
''at one time there were ten thousand
bottles of each of these invaluable reme>

Mrs. MYERS Nrw PgrncoAr-A
meek and quiet looking person, calling
himself Bill Myers, was detected recently
in the very act of stealing a large roll Of
flannel from the door of dry goods store
on Baltimore street. He did not deny
the fact, but attempted to palliate tho
offence by the following address TO the
Judge Of the Criminal Court
''Sir, / confess did take the fannin
but when you hear why | took it, you
Will say / am an unfortunate man, and
ought to be pitied. My wife says to ms

weakness; and don't you get into con-
versation with any other lUafcrs as you
are going along on this errand.'

"Says I, To get eight yards Of quarter

"Says he, Dock the old woman yard,
and let's have a couple of glasses of tod

little shorter says he, 'and as she's got n
handsome pair OF ankles she won't mind

we went to the saloon. changed the note,

ANOTHER ENoCH ARDEN.-The New
Albany Ind,) Commercial, of juno 23d,
says:
''Some years ago Paris Shirley married
a Miss Tate (step daughter of Richard
Houston) near Bloomington, in this State.
Some time after the marriage Shirley re-
moved to Illinois, where, in the course of
time, he bought drove of cattle, and af-
ter sending his wife and two or three
children back to Bloomington to remain
with their friends until his return, be
started with his cattle to California A
short distance beyond Salt Lake CITY he
was captured by the Flathead Indians,
and his cattle confscated. He remained
in captivity some eight or ten years.
During all this time his friends heard not
word from him, and he was supposed
to be dead. In the meantime his wife
sought and obtained divorce, and was
mar, led about a year ago, and removed
with her husband TO Illinois; and now
comes the sorrowful part Of the story. On
Thursday of last week, says the Mitchell
Commercial, Shirley returned TO his fathers
(John Shirley'se near Bloomington, in
bright anticipation of a happy meeting
with his beloved wife and children and.
when told that bis wife was married, he
wept like child.
1--WE learn that he has written his late
wife q letter, alleging that he has the
Oldest claim but the courts can afford no
relief So closely did the redskins keep
MIR Shirley confined, that he never heard
a word of the rebellion until he made his
escape short time ago. He bears upon
his person unmistakable evidence of hard
treatment, but he considers this small
matter when compared to the loss of the
mother of his children.

CURIoUs SrATIsrICs,-A statistical
genius declares that ''more is expelled in
the United States for cigars than for all
the common schools in the country
a wag, undoubtedly lover of the
weed, seeing the statement going through
the papers, gets off the following
'sit has been estimated that the cost of
washing linen that might just as well be
worn two days longer amounts to enough
in this country to more than defray the
expenses of the American Board Of For
eign Missions"
F'The expenses of buttons on the back
of our coats, where they are of no earthly
use, is equal to the support of all our or
phan asylums"
''It is estimated that the value of old
boots thrown aside, which might have
been worn at least day longer, is more
than enough to buy flannel night-growns
for every baby in the land. Also, that
the cost of every inch on the full shirt
collars Of our young men is equal to the
sum necessary TO put Bible in the hands
of every Patagonian giant"

To TAME WILD HoRsEs-The follow
ing are said to be the horse charmer's
recipes, so that the widest can be made
in a few minutes as docils as a kitten. We
give them for what they are worth, and
would like to know if any of our readers
have ever tried them:
/. Take finely grated horse castor, oils
rhodium and cumin keep those in sepa~
rate bottles, well corked put sene Of the
oil of cumin on your hand, and approach
the horse on the windy side. He will
then move toward you, then rub some of
the cumin on his nose, give him little
on anythingShe likes, and get eight or ten
drops of the oil of rhodium on his tongue,
you can then get him TO do anything yea
like. Be kind and attentive TO the animal
and your control is certain.
2. Give the horse a little castor on a
piece Of apple or potato. Put eight drops
of oil Of rhodium into lady's thimble.
Take the thimble between the thumb and
middle finger of the right hand, with the
fore finger stopping the month of the
thimhle to prevent the oil from running
out while you are opening his mouth.
AS soon as you have opened the horses
mouth, tip the thimble over upon his
tongue, aud he is your servant. He will
follow you hike pet dog.

curiosity, and when we passed beyond the
cluster Uf houses. more than thousand peo-
pie must have been following US. A short
distance farther and we reached flight of
long steps, cracked aud broken, up which
we passed. and there stopped to survey all
that was left Of the once famous Porcelain
Tower Of Marking.
IN the midst of II scene peculiarly desolate,
was this huge mound of fallen and crushed
porcelain. A great mass of fragments, par
tally revealing unique and fantastic designs,
portions of which were bright colored, green
and crimson, and yellow and blue, with
CLASSY surface as clear and bright as though
their gay colors and ename!ed coats were
new and fresh. Down beyond us was a big
metallic ornament like a huge umbrella, COW
cred with Chinese characters ard designs,
which had tumblCd down two hundred and
sixty feet to tie earth. and remained uubrO-
ken. The cOlOred fragments were porcelain,
but their base Is OF a rough coarse texture,
while the fragments Of white were as fine
as the choice Il ware, and their enameled and
clear sides flashed and glittered in tie sun
like S'ms. After Spending half an hour in
this interesting spot, We selected some Of the
white and coloTed fragments as mementoes
Of their creation four ald half centuries
ago-and Of our own visit now-aud came
away, occasionally looking back, hoping we
might sce-if only in fancy-the strange
tower that remained centuries after the hands
that had fashioned 1t had BECOME dust again
We glanced moment through the south
ern gate, then hastily sough; our boats, glad
t. be rid of the crowd which had annoyed
us, and when again we passed the arch stone
bridge, and the crowded boats, they were
illuminated with colored lanterns, and smo-
king With fire works with which the people
und all their national kindred in this great
empire, welcomed the incoming of another

full blossom on an apple tree On the
same limb, and close to the rose, are sew

they were found to be alike.

The Ohio State Journal and
Grants Order Against the Jews.

The State Journal, week or two ago
denied that GRANTS order expelling The
Jews from certain districts in the South
was directed against them as a race
The Journal knew better at the time.
We here reproduce the exact language
Read it:
"The jews, as class, violating every
regulation of trade established by the
Treasury Department, also department
orders, are hereby expelled from the de-
partment within twenty-four hours aftel
the receipt of this order by post com
manders. .n-General Order No. II issued
BY Gen. U. s. Grant, Dec. II, 1862.
Who will rely upon the Ohio State
Journal ?
The Isrealites afterwards waited upon
the President and sought his interference
to suspend or annul this order of GRANTS
Here also is Gen. GRANTS reply:
"Mr President, as you have directed
me- will rescind the order; but / wish
you to distinctly understand that these
people are the descendants of those who
crucified the Saviour; and, from the
specimens have here, the race has not
improved"
GRANTS intolerance has not even the
poor apology of religious fanaticism tc
plead for him-his unbelief in all relig
ions being well known.

ATexas Duel ON Horsehaok. e

The Corpus Christi Advertiser has from
a correspondent these particulars of
bloody and fatal affray which took place
on the west side of the river, Above Oak
vile, on the 22d ult, between Mr. Hen
derson Williams and Sic Brown, Jabbut
some beeves that were turned into "a herd
against the wish of Mr.. Williams ,SThe
latter claimed authority over said beeres
as partly his own and partly those3 for
which he held agencies. ~. Htef
Some angry words occurred at first
which eliminated in the drawing of
weapons, which were heavy dragoon six
shooters. Both parties being mounted,
at each successive shot they charged up
closer to their dreadful work. The fir
ingrwas rapid, and the combatants abe-
come enFeloped in the smoke of their
weapons, which Tapped together on the
last round. Mr.. Browns frefng was
wild, owing, no doubt, to the fact that
he received mortal center shot from
Williams first fire, although he sat on
his horse firmly, Until shot the third
time through the body, which entered
the heart, he fell a corpse on the instant
Williams was unhurt, but his horse was
shot in the head, and was fractions and
unruly during the fight. Both parties
had numbers Of well armedf riends on the
ground but no assistance or interference
was offered, and the issue was fairly and
squarely tested. Both men We're un-
doubtedly brave to the last inch, such as
would do honor to any cause, right Or
wrong. But it is sad very sad thing
indeed, that men of forty years of age
must draw their weapons to decide qucs
