GAIL HAMILTON concludes in an ar
ticle The Independent on a woman's
meeting, with a reference to the fact
that, although the tyrant man has been
vigorously excluded, he was called in
again to put out little dog which dis
turbed the proceedings, and adds:
"That is always the way. Women will
not be true to themselves, They will
keep up mighty fusilade on parade
days; but they will not stand by their
guns at pinch. They turn man out
of their halls with beat of drums; but
at the first bark they rush to bring
him back again. We leave our woman
candidate all nominated for the Presi-
dency; but just as we are on the eve of
going to Eton to vote for Mistress
Anne Page, it turns out suddenly that
she is great lubberly boy. When
Greek meets Greek, I prefer Ulysses
the silent, fighting it out on his own
line, to Demosthenes the eloquent, hid
ing under woman's gown"

"John Jacob Astor's will was consi-

small an amount tofbenevolence is idec-

Vanderbilt, which is about half a mile
farther up town. No such pair OF
capitalists can be found in America, and
on either of them an applicant for chari-
ty might .spend his breath in vain.-
There Is this difference, however; AstoI

the Commodore might volunteer few
profane adjectives to assist the latter to

At ball given in Louisville a few
nights since by canal employees, quite
an amusing incident occurred. Ham
sandwiches were upon the table when
the company were invited into supper.
Some mischievous fellow, however,
had a few minutes before stolen the
ham and replaced it with thin slices Of
soap. The men, being very hungry
seized the bogus sandwiches and imme'
diately bit out huge mouthfuls. The
mistake was discovered by each indi
viduaI, but no one said anything
about. it, thinking, perhaps, that ths
others would laugh at him. The author
of the Joke watched with subdued mer
riment the numerous wry faces an6
changed countenances that, one By
one, indicated the extensive circulation
of the soap. The best feature Of th'
affair was that no one got angry, bu
all laughed heartily at It when 1t wa
discovered that all had bit and beel
'bitten."
