MOLL CLATTERCLACK.

Moll Clatterclack was smart in words
AS any woman's Fighter,
And with the weapon of the tongue
She was an awful fighter;
She blazed at this, she snarled at that,
And kept up such clatter,
The very chimbly on the roof
Was frightened at the matter.
With fret and scold, and snarl and jaw,
She made the dishes rattle,
And clean destroyed the human folks,
And almost killed the cattle;
The dog and cat, and rats and mice,
Became as deaf as adders,
The chickens staid upon the roost,
And got as thin as shadders.
But not content with things at home,
The misunderstanding critter
Stirred up the people here and there,
And kept them in a twitter.
Her mean and ever-iastin' tongue
Was always kept a waggin',
And yet you'd think she was a saint,
If saints were made by braggin.'
She kept the neighbors by the ears
With gossippin' and lyin',
And kept the men a maxim oaths,
And the women all a cryin'.
You'd thought the end o. time had come,
With all the fuss and racket,
For when she found an honest name,
She tried her best to black it.
If ever mortal was possessed,
She sartin had her legions,
And took her orders from the king
Of all the lower regions.
She pizened every home and heart,
And split all joy and gladness,
And made hOwlin' wilderness
Chock full o. grief and sadness.

Important TO Railroad TRAY
RiRra.

In Indiana it has been judicially de-
cided that the purchase of railway
ticket is also the purchase of a seat in
the car. Otherwise, we suppose, no
tice should be given the purchaser
that no seat could be furnished. In
this case the purchaser refused to
give up his ticket until furnished with
a seat. His request was not needed,
and it was in evidence that it could
not be complied with in consequence
OF the crowded condition of the car.
The passenger was therefore elected,
his baggage being thrown after him,
for which injury he has now recovered
$4,000.

Hym9nisl Problem

When first the marriage knot was tied,
Between my wife and me,
My age was, to that ofmy bride,
As three times three to three,
But now, when ten and half ten years,
We man and wife have been,
Her age to mine exactly bears,
As eight is to sixteen.
Now tell, pray, from what I've said,
What were our ages when we wed?

The ''Grasshopper Bend" is the prevail

Ell Perkins writes to the Graphic: ''All
the young ladies have it here. 1t is con-

stick her arms back like a grasshopper's
legs and then walk with a sailors swagger.
They call it the Newport roll. When a

Hon. William NJ. Meredith died at
Philadelphia on the 18th inst, at the
age of seventy-four. He was Secre-
tary of the treasury under President
Taylor in 1S49-5O, Attorney Gen
eral of Pennsylvania for six years,
including the whole time of the re-
bellion, and at the time of his death
was President of the Constitutional
Convention of his State. He was a
philadelphia lawyer" for about fifty
three years, and by his legal acquire
ments and business ability justified
the traditional estimate of that char
aeter, standing for a long series OF
years at the head of that celebrated
bar. He was one of the finest ex-
temporaneous speakers in the coun-
try, singularly clear and simple in
language, and, when truth was on his
side, almost irresistible conclusive in
argument. Both his private and pub
lie life were upright ane unblemished.

The Athens journal relates the following
remarkable death: Mrs. Thos. Brewer,
who lived about two miles east of Zaleski,
on the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad,
was walking along the track last Monday
evening, when the fast line passenger came
along, and stepped aside to avoid the train.
The current of air which was set in motion
by the rapid moving train caught her
clothing, drawing her toward the cars, and
stepping upon a pebble she stumbled, fall
ing so that her head struck the iron railing
of the rear car, fracturing her skull near
the temple, and causing her death in about
an hour after. She was about thirty five
years of age.

FOREIGN SUM MARY.

By the arrival of the ship Sumdtrd yesterday, IA
days from San Francisco, files of papers from that
port were received up to January 23, but no mails.
These were to be dispatched by the steamer Noses
Taylor, to leave on the 29th, or as soon as the Eng
lish mails came to hand.
The news by this arrival, which is fourteen days
later than by the last mail, though interesting, il
not generally important. The Ex-Emperor Napo-
leon died at Chiselhurst, England, on the 9th Of
January, aged sixty-hve, after a double surgical
operation, which was the last resort for his relief.
More than co, 1000 persons, including the Prince Of
Wales and the Queen's Chamberlain, visited the re-
mains lying in state. 1t is generally conceded that
the hopes OF the imperialist party in France, die with
Napoleon.
Lord LyttOn, the well-known English author,
died Jan. Is, aged 67.
Baptist Noel, the well-known English theologian,
is dead.
The Right Hon. Stephen Lushington. Q. G. died
Jan. 20, aged 80. A connecting link between tho
present age and the past. and a distinguished jurist.

American c~apitalits have got a lease Of SANTANA
Bay. on the Island of Hayti, and will declare it a
free port.
There has been another decline in sugars at San
Francisco. The Bulletin of the 18th says:
Attention is called to a reduction in refined
Sugar. The schedule is that of the California Re-
fnery. to which the other reGneries must conform,
at least in a measure. The reduction is ac on white
and bc on yellow Sugars. The proprietors Of this
refinery have adopted a new rule in reference to
payments. Heretofore it has been customary TO sell
on IS days by note. with "a per cent. off for cash.
The prices now adopted are net cash rates, with
three days allowed for examination Of bills. A
year ago. white refined Sugars in this market were
SIC higher than they are to-day. Itlooks as though
the Sight among the refneTs YVES TO be carried TO

grades were reported as dull at 7109 cents.

We have as yet had nothing like our ordinary win

of drought. and from Hilo we hear that the streams
are again running low for the lack OF rain in the
mountain. The winds too, have been unusually
capricious-no real kOna storms and no trade
winds. Except a short visi. of the last at long in
tervals) but constantly recurring airs are from the
South and West. that disagree with erarrhoa~
