The editor of the viyacious Atlantic
Weekly has come to grief as follows;
We have dismissed our funny man.
Would that we could recall him-but
entreaties, tears and forty-horse power
steam elevator wouldn't bring him back
again He has gone over to the oppesi-
ton paper, and jeers at US with the tri-
umphant malevolence of a fend incar-
nate. This is the way it all happened:
One day we made mild joke, and we're
much elated in consequence. It's
perfectly easy to be funny" we thought,
land as the running expenses of the
Weekly are rather large, we'll dismiss
our professional humorist and be our
own funny man. So we tried it. We
printed the witticism already alluded to,
and imagined, in our pride, that there
were plenty more of the same sort where
that came from, We sat with pen sus-
pended over sheet of paper, and look
as much like Tennyson waiting for in
spiration as we could get up We took
down the dictionary, the " Concordance
to Shakespeare" " Tuppers Proverbial
Philosophy" aud Mrs Hemans poems.
We stared at them-and the longer we
gazed the sadder we felt. Any man
that can write up any subject less severe
than the Baltimore Convention will
please apply at our office. Salary no

A CnrIirt EnpIoit.

Francis, the chief Of Carlist baud,
recently executed brilliant maneuyer.
He was being hotly pursued by the
troops, when Francis stopped the train
which was on its way to Reus, made all
the passengers get out, and installed his
own men very comfortably in their
place. The conductors could make no
resistance, aud the six hundred Carlists
quietly arrived at Reus, TO the utter as
Constituent Of the inhabitants, who were
expecting very different sort of pas
sengers. When it was known that the
railway carriages contained body OF
rebels, armed to the teeth, the panic was
intense. The streets, which were
thronged to see the train arrive, were
soon empty The inhabitants ran to
their homes in all haste, bolted their
doors, and from their balconies saw the
invaders march past The cavalry reg
iment shared the general astonishment,
and their first impulse was to barricade
themselves in their barracks, which they
did very promptly Francis and his
men then incontinently departed.

her genius, she approached and con-
quered the most difficult impersonations;
and it is enough to say in her praise
that she who is the first of Zerlinas, has
more than once out-rivalled Titiens in
Norma and Lucrezia, and that there is
no role whatever in the range Of ope-
ratio productions that she cannot take
with ease, and perform with the most
complete success. PATHS benefit per-
formanee, wherein she took the beautiful
role of Valentino, was perfectly superb.
1t was an event 10 operate circles;
everybody was there; and probably no
one heard her who did not wonder at
the unfagging briliancy Of her voice
and genius. istdJ lA

A London letter to the Boston Post
says ~ 1a ai p
II is eleven years since this diva burst
upon the London world with the flash of
an artistic comet, and during that period
she has steadily maintained her place as
fixed star in the lyric armament. She
has never abdieated the highest place
among prima donnas, and holds it to-
day, appareutlyas securely as ever. She
is the legitimate successor of Malibran
and Grisi. The other night occurred
her annual benefit, and | could not
but mark the contrast between the re-
ception she had when, in 1868, she made
her first appearance on the boards of
CoYent Garden, and the splendid oya-
ton she received in the Hugenots FIVE
nights ago Patti seems as young as
she did then, q 1.-THE, graceful figure,
with rounded shoulders and inimitable
grace in every motion; black, gentle
eyes, and 9 splendid wealth Of dark,
flowing hair; inspiration in her acting,
and purest, richest melody in her
voice. She looks older aud sadder
when seen in her carriage, and her
features betray too plainly the approach
of years and the added cares OF mar
red life. Her history during these years
of perpetual triumph has been re-
markable one, in an artistic point Of
view. At FIRST she was only equal 10 the
IiehseF roles in the operate repositories;

II history be philosopy teaching by

hundred years show beyond question
that she epidemics which desolate the
earth are more or less within man s con-

plague and sweating sickness, and of
their nine visits--each after an interval

A GWr OF FHR BIBLE AFTER THIRTEEN
YEARS WArMa. tho items of
news received by the last China and
Japan mail is the announcement that
DR.. Hepburn, we'll known American
Japanese scholar, recently received per-
mission to present the Mikadn copy of
the Bible in English, with the last
edition Of the Doctors Japanese and
English dictionary. This Bible DR..
Hepburn took to Japan with him thir-
teen years ago, and it is one of the costly
editione specially prepared by the Ameri-
can Bible, Society for presentation to ex-
altad rersoassss. For these thirteen
years has DR.. Hepburn been waiting to
press his gift upon the ruler of Japan,
patiently Watching for an auspicious sea-
son. That arrived in the early part of
November, the presentation taking place
through the Intervention OF Minister
De Long. The Mikado testified his ap-
probation OF the gift by acknowledging It
in suitable terms in an autograph letter.
This satisfactory reception OF the book,
coupled with another item of news re-
ceived BY this mail, that thirty. five
native Japanese, who had been impri-
soned for embracing Christianity, have
been pardoned aud set free. is good
omen that. in the projected revision OF
treaties with Western powers, there will
be introduced large concessions in favor
of religious liberation.
