DIDN'T KNOW ADAM.-As Artemus

dreading to be bored, and feeling miser-
able, man approached him, sat down
and said

The man was quiet about FIVE minutes
Pretty soon he said:
George Francis Train is kicking up
a good deal of a row over in England, do
you think they will put him in bas-

said Artemus, solemnly. y never heard

This Ignorance kept the man quiet for
fifteen minutes then he said
"What do you think about General
Grants chances for the Presidency? Do
you think they will run him ?'
esGrant, Grant hang it, man." said
Artemus, "you appear to know more

The following advertisement lately
appeared in the columns of an English
contemporary: "Matrimony.-Dwelling

clergyman feels the solitude of WIFE

aid of a lady who is willing to take

is in stature and comliness a proper
man to make an offer of marriage.
He is not young, but he is certainly
not old, and the elacticity of his spir

The DADnos DAUGHTERS.-TWe
ty-one young ladies from Japan are
on their way to this country to be ed
ucated. They are all said to be daugh-
tels of ''Daimios," class of rulers in
that country, who may, for aught we
know to the contrary, be equal in rank
and dignity to Justice of the Peace in
New York, or State Constables in
Massachusetts, but who may be moth
ing more than Congressman. That
they are wealthy may be taken for
granted, as if they were not they
could not afford this dangerous exper-
iment of making fashionable women,
ON the American plan, out of their
daughters. As soon as this fact has
dawned upon the fortune-hunters of
our land, there will of course be rush
for these pecunious damsels. What
mattep-their small almond eyes, their
copper compilations, their protrusive
lower jaws and other personal pecul-
iarities-they will still, in a golden
light, be beautiful, and ere long we
may expect to find our young men
studying up the lingo of the gentle
Jap, to be enabled to lay siege to them
in customary style. II, however, the
Daimios daughters escape safa,y back
to Japan after due course of, Amer
lean finishing, the CONSERVATION and
revolution they will effect there may
beimagined. Fancy each ofthem land
ing at Jeddo or Nagasaki a score of
Saratoga trunks packed with chignons,
bustles, double skirts, palpitators, cor
sets, switches, rats, crinoline, "bloom
of youth" "vinaigre de roAge," "pearl
powder" and the thousand and one
other mysterious adjmcts of the
makeup of an American woman. Such
an invoic, without it should all be
scooped in under the head of "miscel-
laneous," might well drive the Japan
Custom House authorities crazy. Poor
heather devils, they don't enjoy the
blessing of a beautifully particular and
proscriptively high tariff as we do.
But if the things do get through the
Custom House, how the paternal
Daimois will stare, aud in despair tug
their hair, when they come to foot the
bills. Finally, how will the poor girls
be looked upon, in their barbarian
costumes and customs, by their sister
Japs? Really this whole thing strikes
us as being a very melancholy and
hazardous experiment.

THE WORLDS JUBILEE.-The recent
purchase of large tract of made land
on the Back Bay, by certain parties pre-
sumed to have bought it for purposes of
speculation has for several weeks rem
dered it uncertain as to whether any por-
ton of it could be obtained on which to
erect the proposed huge coliseum for the
contemplated worlds jubilee in June
and July next There has been some
objection to the use of this land for such
purpose, but as it seemed to be the on
ly feasible location for so huge struc-
ture, the efforts ofinterested parties have
been vigorously directed of late to the
end of overcoming those objections, and
at length an arrangement on satisfactory
terms has been entered into and land
has been secured between the Providence
and Albany Railroads on the Back Bay,
about two minutes walk west of the site
of the original coliseum, on which to
erect the new building. AS to the per-
manency of the structure there is more
doubt, but it may be allowed to stand
until the site it is to occupy becomes
more valuable for other purposes.

SENSATION AT A VILLAGE PARTY
Spotswood, an obscure village of New
Jersey, some distance from New Bruins
wick, was a scene of tragic and highly
dramatic sensation one night recently.
At the hotel were gathered party of
rustics bent on celebrating what is known
as a variety wedding" About IL
o'clock, as the story goes, some of the
party observed a stranger prowling about
the building and the proprietor went
out and observing that the stranger was
well dressed, invited him in. He declin-
ed, however, but continued promenading
the piazza. The proprietor then became
suspicious and returning to the piazza,
accompanied by one of the guests, a Dan
lei Snowell, of the village, warned him
to come either in or out. As they ap-
preached the promenader, the latter has
tily drew a revolver and fired twice at
Mr.. Snowell. One of the shots missed,
and the other took effect in his left lung.
The assassin then fed and was followed
quickly by few of the wedding party.
In his flight the assassin threw off silk
hat, whiskers and coat, discovering the
fact that he was female She proved
to be Mrs. Commodore Chauncey, a
charming young widow of the place and
well known. She was engaged to be
married to Snowell and was melted tc
this mad act by jealousy. At last &C
counts Snowell's condition was consider
ed extremely precarious.

Tuesday last the Clover Hill coal mines,

continue to burn. There were no per-

occurred. Seven mules were in the pit
and burned. The Midlothian coal pit,
in the same vicinity, is also on fire, and,
in consequence, a coal famine prevails
there. The mouths of the shafts on fire

We regret to learn that Mr.. Elijah
Lamberton, we'll TODD farmer of Marsh
field, committed suicide by hanging him
self in his barn on the 10Th inst. Mr..
Lamberton had been in poor health for
a few days previously, but was able to
be about the house and barn. He is the
third brother that has thus committed
suicied, and depression of spirits combin-
ed with suicidal tint doubtless led to
this sad result. A son of Mr. LANDER
ton was last spring elected collector of
taxes in MarShfield, and the father be-
came one of his bondsmen The young
man collected portion of the taxes, and
with the money bought butter. Some
three weeks since he went with the but
ter to Worcester, and it soon became ru-
mored that all was not right. Finally
he sent home his tax book and papers
and also word that he should not himself
return. His father doubtless fearing
the town would levy upon his property
for his sons defalcation became depress-
ed, and the result seems to have been the
suicide. He was man of some sixty
years of age and generally respected by
his townsmen.-Gr Green Mountain Free
