HARD OR" OLD Buck" - The York
World, after a severe but humorous cri'i-
eism Of = new drama lately brought out By
:. tho celebrated artist, Mexican Buchanan,
assisted by his talented daughter, Miss Nr-
ginia Buchanan" gives the following sca,h-
ing notice of the noted old veteran:
Without wishing to do injustice to the

cipai characters in New York, it rs SIMPLY
truth To say that Mexican EH.hansn Is the
worst Of them all. II is hard to decide whether
his pa,hos OF his passion is the more lndicro''s.
or whether his hnn"y is not more lu2uhriots
than either is l"ueha',le. Il is really pity
that ANYBODY should be encouraged to engage
in aspursuf FIR Whit h he Is So palpabiy un-
fit as is Mexican Buchanan for the stage. Ii

RorGH Jox.-The Alta gives the parti-
ticulars of = rough practical Joke on man
in San Francisco. II appears that On the
Doth ulr there appeared in a morning paper
an advertisement purporling to come from
the chief clerk of well known Arm, in which
he expressed his anxiety to obtain "a good
cat, that would catch mice. for which good
price will be paid" The innocent victim on
proceeding to his place of business, on Mon,
day last, was considerably surprised to mud
several persons an1iously awsi,ing his com
ing, each fully prepared TO satisfy the re-
quirement Of the advertisement, which he
had never seen. During the entire week he
was prosecuted hy men, women and boys who
successfully made their appearance, each
bringing q cat or cats. which they recon-,
mended in the highest manner. Cats OF all
colors. sizes, ages. and sexes were duly pre-
scented for inspection, and the unlucky gen
teman states that he has been called upon to
examine not less than fifty cats during the
week. Thoroughly disguised and weary Of
answering questions, he at last stated that he
had bought all the eats be required.

JoHSsoN's FAREWELL ADDREss.-A dis
patch to the San Francisco Herald, dated
March Sd at Washington, says
The President has issus6a lengthy fare
well sddress TO the people. He earnestly
invokes the forbearance and cooperation OF
the people in ,verv effort Of his successor to
administer the Government within the pale
Of the Constitution. Without any further
political ambition to CRAFTY, with no per-
sonal ends to subserve, with n" personal
q"arrels to asenge. he says that his earnest
desire is to see the Constitution again rec
ognized and obeyed as the supreme law Of
the land. He vndica,cs the policy of tolcr-
alton aud magnanimity. Had ne become an
Instrument to carry out the schemes of con-
fscstion aud oppressive qualifications, be
would have been hailed as trGe, loyal, dis
cerninQ. reliable head Of \ party, whatever
he might have been as a chief executive.
By his first act in disbandin9 a million Of
men, who possessed or constituted unrar-
a!led power, he prevented rulnous condl-
ton Of public affairs. 1t would have been
casv FIR him to have inaugurated war
with France on account Of the action of
that narion in Mexico, and with a large
army at his command, and augmented au-
thority consequent upon such war, II would
have been no difficult task to have directed
continuance of political power. How dit
ferent would have been the condition Of the
people, had he yielded To the dazzling tempta-
iinn Of foreign conquest, personal asgran-
dizsment and desire 10 wfeif additional
power. His sole ambition had been TO re-
store the Union aud restore and defend tine
