Some months ago an officer of the United

an Individual on the levee, with

"Sir, ~ said the accosted, gravely, "you

not much-you were down nearly as soon as
was
"Sir, you probably mistake me for some one
else" returned the other, more mysti6ed than
ever.
"Not a bit of it," said the man with the pho
tographic memory. :" You were on board the
steamer-when she blew up near Memphis,
on the 22d of April, at thirteen minutes past
eleven o'clOck, nine years ago. were you nOt?'

"No butts. SO was l. Not that | saw you
before the explosion. My first and only inter
view with you, sir, was in the air. You were
going up and was coming down. The glimpse
had of you was necessarily short. Your fea-
tures were distorted by fright, our PAGES were

quently my opportunities for observation were

PIGEON ENGLIsH.-A writerin com menting
upon the manner III which the Chinese speak,
says:
"Pigeon English is most amusing dialect
a sort of Celestial baby-talk-and one would
think that, in the time Chinaman must take
to learn it, he might as well be learning good
English; but all foreigners in Hong Kong
must acquire it if they wish to be understood.
Ifa lady would ask the price of any article in
a shop, she must inquire "how muchee dol
lar?" If you would inquire for gentleman
at his house, it is necessary to say to the SER
want, "Yo massy him ben?' At dinner
party given by an English merchantin Canton
the host sending an invitation to one OF his
guests to take glass of sherry with him, the
message, as delivered by the Chinese waiter,
became: HHi yah-number one massy top
side (at the head of the table, wantee catchee
wine long he." Number one" with them
as with us, expresses the superlatve degree OF
comparison. When taught by the mlssionar-
les of the one God, it is very difficult for them
to seize the idea that they are required to ex-
clude entirely from their faith the multitude
of deities whom they worship, but, supposing
that Jehovah claims precedence over the rest,
they call him " Number one JOSH" A mis-.
sionary mother was one day somewhat shocked
to hear her little girl exclaim to her Pagan
nurse, during heavy thunder storm, Mum
ber one Josh man up topside he talkee much

SrRYcHNINE-The tree from which strych.

STRYCHNINE.-Th tree from which strych-
nine comes is called the StrychnOS nurronlica
1t grows in Ceylon, and in several districts of
India is of moderate size, with thick and shin
ing leaves, and a short, crooked stem. In the
fruit season it is readily recognized by its rich
orange -colored berries, about as large as golden
pippens-thc favorite food Of many kinds of
birds-within which are the fiat, round seeds,
not an uch in diameter, ash gray in color, and
covered with very minute silky hairs. The
Germans fancy they can discovera resemblance
in them to crows eyes; but the likeness is
purely imaginary. The seed is the deadly
poison nut. Itwas early used as a medicine
by the Hindoos, and it's nature and poperties
were understood by Oriental doctors long before
it was known to foreign nations. Dog killer
and :" fish scale are two of its Arabic names.
1t is stated that at present the natives Of Hin
doostan often take it for many months, contin-
uously, in much the same way as the opium
eater eats opium. They commence with tax
ing the eighth. part of nut day, and gradu-
ally increase their allowance to an entire nut,
which would be about twenty grains. If they
eat it directly before or after food, no unpleas-
ant effects are produced; but if they nege
these precautions, spasms result. According
to popular rumor, it is chiefly used i'll Christi
an lands by the manufacturers Of pure impor
! ted liquors.

COVER every hotel door" remarks dis
gusted soiourner at Niagara, should be writ
ten: No feeling of servants allowed. The
truth was, that after having the greenbacks
freely extOrted from him by experts, located at
points less than ten feet apart, on the route
to the Falls, he returned crest-fallen to the no.
tel, and attempted to get some dinner, without
having beforehand quietly put some into
walters hand. The result was he could not
get any thing to eat for a dstressingly long
while and when he did have little something
| brought to him, it was cold-all except the
ice cream, which was hot and being unable to
obtain a spoon with which to eat it, or even a
knife or fork for that purpose, there was moth
ing to be done but to drink it if he wanted it
at all. He found he had made a mistake at
the beginning of the dinner.
Another, in commenting upon the vampire
like SaratOgians, says that a genuine native
will take dollar for a glass of Congress water,
and thank you withou. hinching; that if you
rub against a hack its proprietor will demand
three dollars, and should you smell Of a bana-
ma or an orange you are gone unless you have
a supply of small change; and advises all be-
fore going to Saratoga to go to a broker and
secure 1000 ten-cent stamps for the Congress-
water boys, 500 quarter stamps for New \ Ork
papers, boot-blacks, and cigars; $50 fity-cent
stamps for walters, bows and arrows, ten-pins,
billiards; loo dollar bills for chamber maids,
neck ties, and BARRIERS and 20 five dollar bills
for wine, hack hire, etc.
Nevertheless, there is no lack faccOmmOda
tiOns at Saratoga, with its three dozen hotels
and numerous cottages; only the sharpers
must be made to understand that one has
travelled before, and knows his rights.

Sam Johnson a cullud man,
Who lived down by the sea;
He owned a rat tan tarrier
That stood bout foot three;
And the way that creature chawed up rats
Was gOrjuss for to
One day the durg WAS sumberin'
Behind the kitchen stove
When suddenly wicked flea
A ugly little cove
Commenced upon his faithful back
With many jumps TO rove.
Then up arose this terrier,
With frenzy in his eye,
And waitim only long enough
To make a touchn' crv,
Commenced to twist hisself around
Most wonderfully Spry.
But all in yan his shape SIGH
So awful short and fat
That though he doubled up hisself,
And strained hisscf at that,
| His mouth half an inch away
| From where the vermint sat.
The dorg set up an awful yowl
| And twisted like eel,
| Emitting cries of misery
At every nip he'd feel,
And tumblin down AMI jumpn' up.
And turnn like Wheel
But still that most owlaciOus flea
Kept up constant chaw,
| Just where he couldn't be- scratched out
| BY any reach of paw,
And always half an inch beyond
His victims snappin' jaw.
Sam Johnson heard the noise, and came
To his anime
Rut when he see the critter spin
A barkin all the while
He dreaded hidcrOla,
And then began to rle.
"'The pup is mad enough" says he,
And lugSn' in his axe,
| He gave the rechl tarrier
A pair of awful cracks,

As dead rs carpet-tacks.

F." I am rich enough says Pope to Swift,
"and can afford to give away hundred
pounds year. 1 would not crawl upon the
earth without doing good. l will enjoy the
pleasure of what give by giving it alive, and
seeing another enjoy it. When die | should
be ashs med to leave enough for a monument
if wanting friend is above ground" Ehat
speech of Pope is enough to immortalize him,
independently OF his philosophical verses.
