Ed-The Boston Bulletin tells this:
"Old Judge B, of New Hamp-
SHIRE, was what Artemus Ward
would have called "sociable cuss''
off the bench, and was noted for
claiming acquaintance with any
one whose appearance happened to
please him: Entering a crowded
car on the Boston and Maine raiI-
raod one day, his Honor found the
only unoccupied seat TO be by the
side OF q smartly-dressed and rather
good-looking young woman. As
c%ertaining that the seat q not en-.
gagged, the Judge settled himself
comfortably in it, and turning with
his accustomed bland and fatherly
smile to his fair companion, said:
"Your face seems familiar TO me,
my dear ; L think 1 must know
81 should think you might" said
the unknown, In 4 hoarse, whisky,
c~ontralto voice, turning a vindlca-
tive pair of eyes on the astonished
Judge ; II should think you might;
you sent me to the Honse Of Cor
rection for three months last whit
or. you Internal old %scoundrel."
Tho Judge did not press his
claims for acquaintance any further
IN that quarter.

M. A Louisville grocer recently
gave a customer what he thought
was u quart of vinegar, which, upon
investigator by the purchaser.
proved to be whisky. This was
too good to keep to himself, SO he
informed q few of his friends, who
suddenly discovered that they all
needed vinegar for their familiea.-
The grocer was considerably aston~
isheG at the great demand for VINE
gar which had suddenly sprung up
IN tho neighborhood, but making
the discovery tina. he had been
drawing from the wrong barrel, the
mystery was explained. The sale
OF vinegar" was suspended, and
quiet once more reigned In the vi
cinIty.

Il am glad to inform you, who
are fretting over this lack of enter
prise in Cincinnati, that there is a
decided improvement in this city
of hacks and boarding-hOuses.-
John Randolph, who originated that
descriptive phrase, used a different
adjective in connection with the
noun that, though the ALTERATION,
made it musical a. we'll as true.--
But since then We have grown more
nice in 4 language, while we
have deteriorated in morals. We

stealings would make Burr's or
Arnold's hair stand on end"

Ior a chance to get at the Prussians. Thus a
Metz correspondent of the London Standard.
writing July 20, noting the arrival from Africa
OF Napoleon's Zouaves of the line and Chasseurs

braWny fellows and adds that they will be at
tached TO the Corps d'Armee Of Marshal Nc
