REVIVAL OF THE ROMAN SPoRTs.-A
spectacle was witnessed on Brannan
Street Tuesday forenoon calculated to
convey a lofty impression ofthe civiliza-
ton of the land, and excite the mad en-
thusiasm and admiration Of human cour-
age supposed to have attended the noble
sports Of the Coliseum in the good old
days of Nero. A Chinese fish peddler
was travelling his round on the thorough
fare mentioned, anticipating nothing
more than the customary pelting with
stones from the sportive gamin of that
vicinity, when some jocular person, brim-
full Of glee, just emerged from corner
grocery, thought to vary the monotony
of the everyday diversions by setting a
vicious bulldog upon the Mengol.- The
brute readily took its prey, and the first
intimation the Chinaman had Of an at
tack was the closing of pair of savage
jaws upon one Of his wrists. A rafting
combat ensued, and for moment it was
doubtful which would gain the mastery,
until presently the blade of an eighteen
inch knife CLEANED for an instant, and
then was buried in the body of the dog,
producing breach that permitted the
canine vitality to subside as with breath.
AT the very moment of this sanguinary
work, another huge dog Of the New
foundland breed came dashing up, and
made spring at the Chinaman's throat.
The gladiator stood ready for the attack,
and caught the second foe by the throat.
In moment more the Newfoundland
dog had received his death wound, and
fell off in a partly disemboweled condi
ton. The victorious Chinaman, reeking
with gore and painting with the exertion
of mortal combat, then shouldered his
basket and shambled away without solic-
iting any more patronage in that neigh
borhood. To the credit of the spectat-
ors be it said that, after vanquishing the
dogs, he was nobly granted the boon of
life, and departed without molestation.-

THE MUSIGETER.

The best musketers now in market are
raised near Bergen Point, in the domin-
ion of NJ Jersey.
They gro there very spontaneous, and
the market for them is very unstiddy-
the CRATE supply Injuries the demand.
Two hundred and fifty to the square
inch is considered a paying crop, altho
they often beat that.
They don't require any nussin, and the
poorer the land the bigger the yietd.
If it want for musketers don't kno
what sum people would do to get thare
living, for thare is CRATE deal of cuti-
waited land there that won't raze emmy
thing else at a profit.
The musketer is q short-lived bug, but
don't waste emmy time; they are alwuz
az reddy for bizzness az pepper sass il,
and can bite 10 minutes after they are
born just az fuently az ever.
The musketer is social insex. They
live very thick amongst each other, and
luv the society of man, but don't kontract
emmy of his vices.
Yu never see a musketer that waz
defaulter, they never fail to come to time
altho thousands looze their lives in the
effort.
The philosophers tell us that musketers
who cant sing won't blight. This inform
alton may be of CRATE use to science, but
amt worth much to a phelow in a hot
mite, when musketers is plenty.
If thare aint but one musketer out of
10 that can blight good, that is enuff to
sustain their reputation.
The musketer is the child of circum-
stansis in one respekt-he can be born, or
not, and liv, and die a square deth in a
lonesum marsh 900 miles from the near
est nabor, without ever tasting blood and
be happy all the time. Or he kan get in
to sumboddy's bedroom thru the key
hole, and take his rashuns regular, and
sing sans ov praze and glorifcashun.
1t don't kost a musketer much for his
board in this world. If he kant find en-
nybody to eat he kan set on a blade of
swamp meadow grass and liy himself to
deth on the damp fog.
The musketer is a gray bug, haz six
legs, bright eye, a fine bust, a sharp
tooth and reddy wit.
He don't waste emmy time hunting up
hiz customers, and alwuz lights on a ba-
by fust if there is one on the premises.
1 positively fear musketer.
In the still dark mite, when every
thing IL az noiseless az pair of empty
slippers, to hear one at the further end OF
the room slowly but surely working hiz
way up to you, singing that same hot old
Kissing tune of theirs, and barking to feel
the exact spot on yure face where he in
tends to lokate, IL simply premeditated
sorrow to me. | had rather look for
ward to the time when an elephant was
going to step onto me.
The muslleter haz no friends and but
phew associates. Even a mule despises
them Josh BtIIiags.

READY WIT.-An officer on the battle
field, happening to bow his head just as
cannon ball passed over it, taking off the
head of man behind him, coolly said {:
You see one never loses anything by
being polite"
In the same manner, two judges pass
ing through an excited crowd during a
riot, stone was thrown, which passed
over the head Of one who was bumped
backed, and struck the Others head vio-
lenty. On regaining his scattered senses
he exclaimed
"That is the disadvantage of being an
ul'right Judge.
George Washington displayed his ready
wit and good sense in his reply to a South
erner, walking arm in arm with him
down Pennsylvania Avenue one day,
when colored man took off his hat in
passing, and bowed politely which "the
Father of his Country" like true born
gentleman that he was, returned, when
his companion remarked to him, rather
angrily:
What, General, do you condescend
to bow to niggers ?"
Why, you would not have me display
less manners than negro, would you 2"
Lord Howe, the celebrated English
Admiral, awakened early one morning
by Lieutenant coming to his door in
great haste, and bidding him rise quickly,
as the ship was on fire. Shortly after
wards he returned, saying:
Oh, don't be afraid, my lord. the fire
is put out"
afraid, sir I" sternly answered the old
sea dog; how does man feel when he is
afraid 4? / don't need to ask you how he
looks"
the Irish people have obtained great
celebrity for their ready wit, this was
particularly true before the Fenian era.
1t is recorded ofa eulprit condemned to
death that as he had given the Court very
little trouble in legal quibbling, ETC., he
should have the privilege of choosing the
mode Of his death.
Then If your honor plaises, " said Pat,
"I'll die a natural death" Fortunately
for him, before the time came for his ex-
ecution it was found that they had been
trying the aoron9 man and he did have
his wish granted, for he died Of otd aqe.
A physician connected with a lunatic
asylum, was taking a view from the OBJ
seryatory of the building one day, when
madman crept stealthily behind him,
and grasped him tightly by the shoulders,
cried, as he was lifting him in his frenzy:
Doctor, I'm going to see if you can
jump down there and live."
Pooh," said the Doctor, calmly !;
that's nothing let me show you that
can do more than that by jumping up."
The ruse succeeded and the Doctor hast
lily descended, but concluded it was not q
good dag for jumping, though it was an
excellent one for putting crazy people be-
yond the power to do others injury.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have
centers of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-
fection ever attained. The common prejudice
in favor of steel plates is rapidly yielding to
more educated and discriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of production
The wOodcuts Of THE ALDINE possess all
the delicacy and elaborate finish Of the most
costly steelplate, while they afford better
rendering of the artists original

trated Christmas number of THE ALDINE

PREMIUM FOR 1874.

Every subscriber to THE ALDINE who
pays in advance for the year 1874, will receive
painted in oil for the publishers of TIL AL
DINE, by Thomas Moran, whose great Colo
RADIO picture was purchased by Congress for
ten thousand dollars The subjects were chos-
en- to represent :" The East" and " The West"
One is a view in the White Mountains, New
Hampshire the other gives The Cliffs of Greon
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in
the nature Of the scenes themselves is a pleas
ing contrast, and affords good display of the
artists scope and coloring. The chremos are
each worked from thirty distinct plates, and
are in size (l2XlG) and appearance exact fac
SMILES of the originals. The presentation of
a worthy example of Americas greatest land
scape painter to the subscribers of THE ALI
DINE was a bold but peculiarly happy idea,
and its successful realization is attested by
testimonial over the signature Of Mr.. Moran
himself

LITERARY.
The Aldine,
Not for sale In Book or .Ss,Us Stores.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and a collection of pic
lures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each succeeding
number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends,
the real value and beauty of The Aldine will
be most appreciated after it has been bound
up at the close of the year. While other pub
pared with rivals of similar class, The Aldine
is unique and original conception-alone and
unapproached - absolutely without competi-
tion in price or character. The possessor of
the volume just completed cannot duplicate
the quantity of fine paper and engravings in
any other shape or number of volumes for ten
times its cost and then, there are the chro-
mos besides !
