A Doughty Ambassador.

In consequence of the visit. of the
Gar, the antiquaries are hunting up
all sorts of odd stories relating TO the
former sporadic intercourse between
the two countries. At dinner party
in 1862, Pepys heard the following
anecdote of a sturdy old ambassador
of Queen Elizabeth at the Russian
Court: "Among other discourse, some
was of Sir Jerom Bowes, ambassador
from Queen Elizabeth to the Emperor
of Russia, who, because some of the
noblemen there would 90 upstairs to
the Emperor before him, he would not
go up till the Emperor had ordered
these two men to be dragged down
stairs, with their heads knocking upon
every stair till they were killed. And
when he was come up they demanded
his sword of him before he entered the
room. He told them if they would
have his sword, they should have his
boots too. And so he caused mis- boots
to be pulled off, and his night-gown.
night-cap and slippers to be sent for,
and made the Emperor stay till he
could go in his night-dress, since he
might not go as a soldier. And lastly,
when the Emperor in contempt, to
show his command of his subjects, did
command one to leap from the window
down, and broke his neck in the sight
of our ambassador, he replied that his
mistress did set more by and did make
better use of the necks of her subjects
but said that, to show what her sub
jects would do for her, he would, and
did, fling his gauntlet down before the
Emperor, and challenged all the no
bility there to take it up in defense OF
the Emperor against his Queen; for
which at this very day the name of
Sir Jerom Bowes is famous and non
Ored there"

Shakspeare.s Ghost.

Not long since an English gentle
man residing at Hong Kong dreamed
two or three nights in succession that
he met the ghost of Shakespeare near
Standardization, of whom he asked
whether any of the manuscripts of the
great dramatist's plays were still in
existence; whereupon the ghost led
the way into forest, and then point
ing to spot near the roots of large
tree said Dig and vanished. The
Hong-Kongressman FASTENED at once
to England and to Stratford, where he
found and identified the ghosts tree,
and at once began to dig, which he
continued to do day and night, until,
at the depth of seven feet nine inches
and half, he found, wonderful as il
may seem, that he had made a fool Of
himself.

The Cincinnati Gazette, Of strong
Republican proclivities, takes ground
against the so-called Civil Rights Bill,
saying that the proposed measure
makes so great stretch of govern
mental interference into social customs
and business affairs which have hither-
to been outside the province of legis-
lation; it sets up a surveillance and
espionage hitherto so foreign to the
spirit of our free Government; il
makes so large a transfer of affairs
from the State to the National tribu-
mails; the offences it creates are so
vague, and subject to arbitrary meth
DDS; its penalties so severe and dis
proportionate to the otfenses; its COM
mand that every officer of the various
courts of the United States shall be a
prosecutor under it so extraordinary,
and all the features of the bill are so
different from anything that has hith-
erto been thought the manner of law,
that rejecting people may well inquire
whether this is not the sacrifice in
stead of the protection of civil rights;
whether such extraordinary measures
will not injure the race they are de-
signed to benefit, and whether In
ciutching at the shadows of liberties
for Others we are not letting 60 our
own."

The Gar and Eugenie's Boy

You already know that on Saturday
the Gar went to Chiselhurst and Wis
tied the Empress Eugene. This was
rather significant event. 1t might
mean no more than that the Gar, be-
ing a gentleman, wished to be polite
to lady who some years ago had ex-
tended to him magnificent hospitality;
but, on the other hand, it might be an
intentional manifestation of the belief
of the Gar that ere long the Empress
would be living in Paris again. 1t hap
pened that the Prince Imperial was
not at Camden House when the Gar
arrived there. His Majesty expressed
regret at this misfortune. The fact is
that Napoleon " was at his military
school at Woolwich, and not asked for
leave of absence. The Gar said that
he wished to see him, and the Empress
promised that his wish should be graf.
flied. So yesterday, Sunday, the Prince
came up to town, and the Gar receiv-
ed him at Buckingham Palace. They
had long private conversation. Who
shall say what passed between them!
When the Gar last saw the Prince
the latter was boy of eleven wears,
and his father was believed to be the
most powerful of European sovereigns.
The boy is now man, and his father
sleeps in the little chapel at Chisel.
hurst. There Is a rumOr that the
Gar was greatly affected at this inter,
view, and the Prince went away with
a strangely excited air. With Russia
as an ally, France could easily gain
her revenge upon Germany. But
what Is the use of specializing upon
such things?

A Model Jury.

In Truckee, last Wednesday, upon
a Jury trial, the sheriff was sent by
the court to interview the jury, which
had been out some time. The Re-
publican describes the sight that met
the officers eyes when he entered the
room: One of the jurymen had an
immense bass drum strapped on his
back, and as he marched around the
hall another juryman followed behind
with drumsticks, playing upon the
drum at a lively rate. Still a third
Juror was beating a snare drum vigor-
ously, his design being to produce as
much noise as possible without regard
to time or music. A quart bottle was
an object to several other of the ju-
rors, while a game of euchre occupied
the attention of the remainder. The
sheriff was so awe-struck with the i'm
posing scene that he retreated and
called his homer, the Judge, to witness
the solemn deliberations of Truckee
jury. The Judge called the jurors to
order and inquired if they had agreed
upon a verdict. They replied through
their foreman that they had agreed
to disagree and that verdict was cut
of the question.
