A shrewd Cincinnati advertiser, approaching
the value of mystery as means of awakening
curiosity and interest, caused the advertising
columns of the papers of that city to be liberal
ly besprinkled with the word "Mazzini' in large
letters, intending az the end of the week, when
he hoped the public would be quite impatient to
learn the motive of this laconc style of adver-
Using, to make formal announcement of life
of that eminent patriot But before that APP
peared another tradesman, as shrewd as he, and
more prompt, caught up the word, giving his
own explanation Oft, and adding some interest
ing particulars about hats, in which he dealt. So
the bookseller got no advantage from his pre-
liminary advertising, while the halter greatly
pro6ted by it. This is but new illustration OF
the familiar truth that men do not always reap
the benefit of their best ideas and efforts. A
similar joke is related by New York paper OF
two rival soap men, one of whom daubed the
| rocks all the way up the Hudson with the ap-
peal, "Use Smiths soap, to which his sagacious
rival caused to be appended, "It you cant, get

young man, who was riding along the road, no

only put the distance of few hundred yards
between him and the seat of danger when the
explosion came with deafening report and al
most overwhelming shock,

BIsMARCK's TURNOUT.-Prince Bismarck
has supplemented his unique triumphs
with the acquisition of new carriage, of which
he is as proud as any yOungSter is of his new go
cart. Aud not without reason, indeed; for by
the accounts of this vehicle, SAYS the Boston
Post, it would appear to be something actually
wondTous and unprecedented. OF course its
Workmanship is of the very best, and of course
it is ornamental and useful. Many others, as
well as Bismarck, have carriages possessing these
eXcellences; but the Bismarckian barouche is
more than this The axletree boxes are
bronzed; the windows are of plate
glass; the lamps of cut glass; with
rcdcctors; the steps velvet lined; and
the body painted dark blue, with an appro-
pirate motto. Between the axletrees is large tin
luggage chest, capable of carrying two or three
trunks. In the floor are valves for ventilation.
Inside are four compartments; one is the saloon
OF the princess, one the saloon of the prince
one small dressing room, ard one lat the rear)
q reception room. Soft and luxurious carpets
cover all the floors, and the walls are clothed
with mahogany wainscoting and silk upholstery
work. The ceilings are adorned with festOons
of laurel and oak leaves in a gold and blue
sround, and the windows are curtaned in
the richest style. A heating apparatus and fire.
places are at hand; the furniture is of magni-
ficent description, and comprises everything i'm
aginable, from couches down TO card-tabeS and
writng-desks. In one corner of the reception
room is a trap-door, which reveals wine cellar;
and there are also receptacles for provisions and
ice. No mention is made of skating pond or
croquet ground in connection with this estab-
lishment, neither is there anything said about
an attendant circus or Italian opera house; but
1t is probable that all these conveniences cou lid
be added, If desired.

Old Grimes Is dead,
That good old man;
We ne'er shall see him more.

On opening his book one day before sermon
bis eyes fell on this hymn. He read the FIRST
yerse aud stopped with surprise. He wiped his
specs aud read il again, and said, Brethren,
have been singing out of this book for forty
years; have never recognized this as a hymn
before; but it's here, and amt agwine 10 90
back on my book now, SO please raise the tune
and well sing it through if it kills u.s.
tNOw," said the governor, Eve have been
singing democratic hymns for forty years
down here, and we have never recognized Gree
ley as democrat before; but il the Baltimore
convention puts him in our hymn book, we'll
s:Hg him through if it kills u.s." This was re-
ceiyed with prolonged applause. The governor
spoke over two hours, to the great delight of the
audience, and was followed by Senator Ransom
for an hour in the same style. They both claim
North Carolina for the democracy by 81 900
majority.
The World improves this anec1ote in the fol-
lowing fashion;
"We suppose the good parsons hymn book is
meant to typily our national conventions whose
nominations the democratic party has been ac-
cusiOmed TO accept for the last forty years. 81
amt agwine 70 90 back on my book now" is
meant 10 signify Gov. Vances opinion that the
democracy Of the country will not 20 back on
Greeleys nomination, although il is as prepos-
ferrous as the singing OF "Old Grimes" as a de-
vouonal hymn. But what confession is i'm.
piled m this ludicrous cOInparisoni The Gin
cnnaii convention have acted the part of the
mlschiey0us boys who pasted a ridiculous ballad
~ the parsons hymn book; and Governor
Vance assures us that the Baltimore conyen,
ton will give il out and insist on IFS being sung
even though II conyulse toe irreverent part OF
the congregation with laughter, and shock the
religious as PROCLAMATION. We rather admire
this apt and truly descriptive simie, which nuts
the good sense OF the democratic party on the
same level with that OF the graceless old parsoD.
When Mr.. Gteeey's advocates thus cover him
with hooking derision, they leave little for his
opponents ~ say.
How much better, how much more self-re
speeding, II would have been If the odd old par
son had eyaded the trick OF the waggish boy,
who made him their victim, and il the Bali
more convention, his antitype, should reject the
"Old Grimes" nomination, aud present sount
aud able democratic tcket which its supporter
would not be compelled to laugh at"

after, the mayor happened TO be in the control
ler's office and this bill was brought to his no
tice, whereupon the following conversation is
said to have occurred:
''You had better sign it," said Mr.. Green to
the mayor, eff you think the claim is legal and
proper"

sonable TO ask me to aff1x my signature to a bill
for prosecuting myself. Would not that be
confession Of judgment? | did not anticipate
any such bills"
"You are the best judge of that" rejoined the
controller"
well" continued the mayor, Suppose the
claim stands over till my term of office expires 2?
"Mr. Peckham, in that event. would have TO
wait many months" was the answer.
The mayor seized pen and quickly wrote his
name upon the warrant
"rhere is nothing" said the mayor like mag
nanimity and forgiveness. / am innocent of all
the charges preferred against me; but a charge
involves labor, and the laborer is worthy of his

The warrant was subsequently presented to

MILLIONAIRE IN SACKCLoTH AND ASHES
Saratoga correspondent OF the Albany Times
says:
Among the recent arrivals at Saratoga is a
young gentleman of great fortune, who is a reg
ular summer visitor here, and who has invaria-
bly, made great display. This season he pro-
poses to do the place on a quieter scale, on ac-
count of his mothers recent death. This is how
he goes about it: He has a suite of rooms at the
Congress that, under his supervision, have been
so arranged as 10 present rather Sombre APP
pearance, for, ont of respect for his mothers
memory, they have been put in mourning A
deep black border runs around the ceilings,
while the wall paper is of very
gloomy color; the furniture, which ar
rived to-day, is from Egypt, and is ex-
ceedinSly grotesque in appearance and mys-
FERROUS in style; nothing like it has ever before
appeared in Saratoga. This gentleman an
nounces that he will not enter the ballroom
this summer, but will entertain his friends in
his roOms-in an elegant and costly manner, of
cOurSe-no leyity. He is to drive a four-n-
hand, his groom and coaehman are to he attired
in mourning; and mourning Ian OBJ ), like
funeral pals, are to be s""aad over the seltS of
his carriage, which will be painted in keeping
with the habiliments Of woe rvr these en-
blems of sackcloth al d ashes he pays $500 per
week. SnOddy society calls this iial devo-
ton" and speaks of him as such good son"
but so odd and eccentric;" while common
sense people are unkind enough to call him a
snob, and one Of the most olttre kind.
