King Richard said, in his agony ::
"My Kingdom f. r horse ~ but, had
he been in this city during yesterdays
choking sand-clouds, he would have
changed his tune to "My kingdom for
a water-cart " Come, gentlemen,
bring out the cart We can stand the
smell of sulphur, smile after CHASTITY
fashion at the odor of rotten fish, or
even drive a steert-car; but to have
the whole street blown into our eyes

durance.
If any one has found two light grey
saddle horses within q day or two
past, they will confer great favor
and will be well rewarded if they will
return them to the owner, Mr.. Mes

ed out ten miles from town, on the
road to Santa Barbara; but they were
tracked as far this way as the suburbs

Mr.. Griffin, well known lawyer of
this city, was up for examination last
night at Prof. Fowler's lecture. The
following is brief synopsis of the
main traits of the gentleman's char
acter, as deduced by the examination:
"He>is very persevering and is apt to
stick very closely to whatever he goes
into; but he will attend to his own
business and not NEEDLE with that Of
others. He is very dignified and high
toned, and will not allow too great ia
miliarity. Is very good hand to
make money, especially in specula-
tions, but still is apt to go too far on
the strength of hope. Is very bold
and courageous, but don't show it
much. Never will be an old bachelor,
and has been in love all his life, but
likes slim lady with small waist"
The only objection to the result of the
examination is that the gentleman is
an old bachelor; but he admitted that
he had always been in love. The ex-
animation caused considerable fun
among the audience, but the Professor
