An AMAZINGLY FIDGfTY BoDY.-The Washing
ton Star, in giving an account of recent lecture
on statistics in that city by Hon. Alexander Del
mar, thus notices one of the members of the
statistical staff who was present:
The well known seat Of Mr. Middleton, clerk Of
the court. was occupied by Prof. Wilcox, of Mr..
Delmar's statistical stan specialized gentleman,
quite statistical in style and manner. The statisti-
cal business must be bad for the nerves. Prof.
Wilcox is an amazingly fcgety sort of body.
He came in with lady, this lady he introduced to
another lady, then he took of his 0verc0at, held
his overcoat up by the collar, put his overcoat
down, took up his hat, looked at his hat IN sta
tistcal sort of way then placed bis hat and over
coat on the iron register. contemplated them on
the iron register, shook his he Rd removed them to
a chair contemplated them in the chair, shook his
head, then removed them to a corner behind the
clerks desk, where he allowed them to remain.
Then he proceeded 10 the lecturers desk, ar
ranged ii, contemplated the arrangements with a
dissatisfied air, rearranged it, then came down to
Mr.. Middleton's seat, squared himself towards
the audience, then towards the Hon. A. D., then
espying our reporter he apl reached him, and taxi
ing the adjacent chair seated himself on our re-
porters new silk hat, which our reporter had paid
six dollars for, and which he fastened to rescue
and only succeeded after a strenuous pull and
then In a mashed and ruined condition. Prof. w.,
without making any apology for MASKING our re
porter's new hat, proceeded TO inquire, "What
paper do you representa-" The reply was, The
Star"

The Mrs. Rice, whose death on board the
steamer concordia, from Boston, we have already
mentioned, was the wife Of Hon. A. Fl. Rice,
distinguished merchant, and for several years
very accomplished mayor Of Boston, and also a
representative in Congress from one Of the Boston
districts. Mrs. Rice was accompanied by her
husband and a daughter, who are now stopping
at the St. Charles Hotel, but who take their de-
parture this evening for the North. The symps-
fhies Of our citizens have been keenly touched BY
the mournful circumstance which has thus GU
short their stay in New Orleans, and thrown pal
upon the anticipated benefits and pleasures o.
their tourney.

THE CUsARD STEAMERS Save In size, one sees
little change. When England gets in the rut Of
custom tits difficult to get out. Twenty seven
years ago they started with csndlesticks and wax
candles, and wax candles and csndlesticks they
have got now. Twenty seven years ago they gave
MS stewed prunes, and stewed prunes we had to
day. Twenty-seven years ago they started with
ont napkins, and we have no napkins to this hour.
Twenty-seven years ago the Sons of Temperance
went up TO the arbosrd side to get their grog and
their ercg was given them this morning out Of the
