DaaIeI in the Hands OF a friend.

Nantucket people eujoy a replta-
ticn for smartness, and even Daniel
Webster found his match there. The
story, as told by Mr.. Webster himself,
Is as follows The court held a term
on the island periodically. There was
not much litigation but the suits
were heavy, relating to ships, whale
fishing and oil. The judges and law
yers usually went over from the con-
tinent and spent a week or ten days,
and finished the business of the ses-
sion. One day, one of the Friends of
the island called at my office in BOs-
ton, and said "Friend Daniel, what
wilt thee ask to come down to Nam
tucket and plead ease for me before
the judges ?p .
"I will go for a thousand dollars" !"
''That is too much, Friend Daniel" !"
"But l will have to go down Satur-
day, and perhaps remain the whole
week following. would as soon ar
que the whole docket"
"Well, Friend Daniel, II thee will
argue such cases as | will present to
thee before my case is called, 1 will
give thee q thousand dollars" and so
the bargain was struck.
My client went to Nantucket, and
found his case at the foot Of the dock
ct, and said, "What will thee give if
I'll get the great Daniel Webster to
plead thy case ?' he took retainers
from dozen men. Some gave him a
hundred dollars, and some five hun
dred dollars He had grace enoushr a.
give me the thousand dollars as agreed
and paid my expenses into the bar
gain I argued the docket right
through, for plaintiff or defendant until
Preached my clients case. He struck
the balance, and admitted, as the
steamer left the wharf, that he bad
got his.case argued and pocketed fif-
teen hundred dollars besides.

Girls and perfumes.


Dr. Smithers, writes MatadOr In
the New York Graphic, is q weak
minded young man he writes poetry
and reads EmersOn) and / admit that
he is peculiarly susceptible to impress
siOns of all sorts. The way in which
he regards perfumes, for example,
shows this singular susceptibility. He
has distinct association with nearly
every perfume that has been popular
since he became an ornament of our
best society. / took him into q drug
store one day and tried a series Of
Lubin's extracts on him. he entered
heartily into the experiment, aud for
the time being, conducted himself as
though he were a clairvOyant living
over q bakers and capable OF disclOs-
ing fall events of life, ladies fifty
cents, gents one dollar" As he
breathed the perfume of the violet he
murmured "This is Nellie am
walking with her down to the bridge
10 see the sunset. Presently her faith
er will meet US with q club" He had
gone back fifteen years and was q
country boy kissing his first sweet
heart. / tried him with rose. That's

if she meant what she said last night.

mind, and Tomorrow" snatehed
the rose away and substituted frangi-
panDi. "Ah," he sighed, "Sbe was
the girl whom I took to zee Jefferson.
Why did 1 iusist on kneeling on her
fathers dOOr-mat and attracting the
attention of the police 2n The fellow
had actually made an elaborate sys-
tenn of sentimental memories out of
the different perfumes popular with
young ladies. A given perfume
brought its particular girl instantly
and infallibly to what be called his
mind. DE soon made sn attempt to
classify girls scientifically, according
to their fsvofite perfumes. 'ViOlet
girls" he would say, "are the only
ones whose love is worth winning.
Your rose and your heliOtrOpe women
furnish Us with = grand passion, but
they are unsatisfying."

The DOg-Headea Monkey.

A full grown specimen OF the dog
headed monkey from Abyssinia hiss
has been presented to the University
Of Geneva. The following deseTip-
tlon is from the pen of the Academic
clans: This Abyssinisn monkey Is
characterized by the long hair up
on its cheeks and the greater part
of its body. 1t was held in venera-
ton by the ancient EgyptiSns, and
enjoyed q certain celebrity from the
RANK it occupied in their cosmogODy.
Its figure is engraved upon the monu-
ments OF ancient Egypt, and there
have been found mummies OF the an
imal well preserved. According to
Ehrenberg, this monkey served as the
o1zsfss4 49, sa--- fs..sa fpiaath,- tina -EaYp-
tian Hermes, or Mercury, the mythi-
cal inventor Of the arts and sciences,
music and astronomy, and especially
of speech and hierOglyphies, or letters
over which h6 was supposed to pre-
side. 1t is for this that the Abyssin-
ians now call it T0tG. Hoeapollon re-
ports that this monkey was consulted
in the temples q tablet, reed and ink
presented by = priest, were used IS
tests to ascertain II the particular an.
imal belonged to the race that know
how to write. This representative OF
ThOth also symbOlized the Judgment
of souls and upon one OF the temples
st Phile there Is one represented
with balance in hand Weighing the
actions of men. In other places 1t Is
represented as writing with q reed.
Ehrenberg also suppOses that it is the
locks of this monkey that have serv-
ed as the model for the perruques ig-
ured upon the heads OF different d.
vlnities in the Egyptian mythology.

Some lively citizens OF Prince
Ge. rge's County have been amusing
themselves with cunning at negroes.
The Prince Georgian, OF Saturday,
thus relates the most fragrant case:
son Thursday McLane Acton shot
and badly wounded q negro man
named William Moore. The follow
ing particulars we learn from the
States Attorney: Moore was ap-
preached by Acton, who lad gun
with him, and asked II he had stolen
his [Aeton'sl hare-gum. Moore an
swered no, but said some one had
stolen one Of his. Acton inquired II
be IMoorel accused him Of stesling it.
Moore said no (; but other people said
Acton had taken it. ThereupOn Ao-
ton told Moore, whether he A had
taken it or not, he was going to shoot
him for what he 81. had just said.
Acton did shoot, but missed Moore
Acton then retreatsd q few steps, and,
taking aim, fired again THIS time
his aim was better, and Moore fell
with his arm badly shattered and
otherwise injured And now comes
the sequel, which is still more ex-
traordinAry, if true. The negro,
Moore, came down here and went be-
fore the grand jury, and this body
brought down an indictment for only
a simple assault. We suppose that
after the verdict in the case Of Rich
ard Thomas they thought it useless 10
indict a man who shoots another, but
does not kill him, for more than an
assault and battery. But this Is not
alIo The next day Acton himself
came down TO town, and in some way
succeeded in getting before the grand
Jury, when that body, after hesriDg
has defense, ignored the indictment" ;"

Don't wake Ny Mother.

Among the passengers by the west
ward bound emigrant train, which ar
rived yesterday, was a Mrs. w. s.
CredifOrd, an aged lady from Albert,
Maine. Poor, feeble aud alone, she
left her home to cross the continent
on an emigrant train to see her chill
dren, residing in this State. Two
grown daughters awaited her at San
Jose, and her son had gone up the
road to meet her. He found her
worn out with the fatigues of the
protracted journey in a eOmfOrtless
emigrant car and very weak. About
six O'clock in the evening she reciin-
ed her head on her sons shoulder and
fell asleep there. Just after the train
left San Leandre a gentleman who
had got en- the train at that place, no.
ticing something peculiar in the at
titude and appearance of the old lady,
approached her son and inquired,
"What is the matter with that lady?"
"Hushw said the yonng man "don't
wake my mother" mo fear" said the
gentleman ''she will never wake up
again in this world" He was right
Quietly leaning on the breast of her
son, the poor old lady had yielded TO
fatigue and peacefully fallen into q
slumber, from which she passed into
that deeper sleep that knows neither
waking not WEAKNESS. The emf
grants composed her limbs to rest and
brought the body to this city for the
breaved children.

wnArrHE CHrnxEY SANG.


Over the chimney the night-wInd sang
And chaDtedia melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped as the babe she
tos ed,
And thought of the one she had long
since lost,
And said as The tear-drop back she forced,

Over the chimney the nighs-wind sang
And ehanted melody no one knew;
And the children said, as they closer drew,
Its some witch that Is cleavIng the mid
night through
lis fairy trumpet that Just then blew,
And we fear the wind in the chimney.
Over the chimney The nlght-wind sang
And chanted melody no one knew;
Aad the man, as he sat on his hearth below,
Said to himself, i'It will surely sndsv,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night-wiDd sang,
And ehanted melody no one knew;
But tina poet listened and smiled, for he
Was Man and Woman and Child all three,
And he said, "It is Gods own harmony.

The beauties o. being a Russian sub

The beauties Of being Russian sub
ject are illustrated by the situation of
Count PerwinOff, who is now in Cali.
fornia. He was recently at Antioch,
Cal, whence he wrote manly letter
in reference to the suicide Of fellow
countryman and noble, A. L. Butte
mop, in which he handles the Russian
Consul at San Francisco without
gloves for refusing to relieve Butte
nop's hunger, by which he was driven
to suicide. Not long ago the Count
received letters FROM the Russian
Minister at Washington, which COM
municated to him the information
that his case had been brought before
Parliament, and the following cOnclu-
sions arrived at: That il he desires
to return to Russia and divulge the
names OF his associates who assisted
in publishing the letter referred to, he
Will not be imprisoned, but kindly
permitted TO rusticate in Siberia, and
after having been on his good behav-
ior for twenty yesrs, he shall be al
lowed the privilege of controlling his
estate, valued at 100000. This offer
the Count spurns, and has sent the
following dispatch to the Russian Min
lister at Washington from the Antioch
office "I prefer the climate Of Anti
och to that of Siberia, even though ]
toll for bread"

A simple Plan Of Ventilation.

The following simple method for
ventilating ordinary sleeping and
dwelling rooms is recommended by
Mr.. Hinton in his Physiology for Prac-
tical Use: A piece Of wood, three
inches high and exactly as long as
the breadth of the window, is to be pre-
pared. Let the sash be now raised,
the slip of,wOOd placed on the sill,
and the sash drawn closely upon il.
II the slip has been well fitted, there
will be no draft as cOnsequuce OF
displacement of the sash at its lower
part; but the top of the lower sash will
overlap the bottom Of the upper one,
and between the two bars peFpendicu-
lar currents Of air, not felt as draft,
will enter and leave the room
