say that Nellie is determined that her
boy shall be AL American and nothing
else.
MARYLAND has John Jacob AStor,
as we'll as New York. The circum-
stances of the two are rather different,
however The Arst has just been con-
signed to the almshouse as II lunatic and
pauper.
As announced already, the Cunard
steamer Scythia ran into a whale short
time ago. The evil effect was mutual.
The steamer had to put back to Liver
pool for repairs, and the whale was
! towed into port dead.
! THE Macon Telegraph says there are
thousand of miles of expensive railways
in the South, which it would be ruinouS
to accept Us free gift under the obliga-

/ fact that most, even of II better class are
/ sadly down at the heel
A NEW Know-NOthing party Is re-
ported to be on foot in New York. 1t
numbers 10000 members, and its prnci-
pies are that none but Americans born
in the country of American parents shall

upon religious sccts however.

CHARLES O'CoNoR, ESQ, has written
letter IN which he reviews thoroughly and
sarc ctstically the action of the supreme
/ Court of New York towards William VI.
| Tweed, whereby that worthy secured his
release from the penitentiary. The
learned counselor is very severe on the
/ Court, and hints broadly at impeachment
of the Judges as thing richly deserved
by them.

Fitz Percy SatoriS, il gradually recover
ing from the effects OF his encounter
with Don Goicouria in Tom Murphys
barn nj Long Branch. Great efforts
have been made to get his nose around
into its natural position, as the frequen,
overtures from Dons right duke had
the effect of scattering it considerably
ErchaAgs.
WHATS in name? And how slight
thing is fame? Thesetw conundrums
are suggested by poor Forney's late.
Here is the high and mighty editor and

DISTRICT Attorney, Fisher is doing
his Utmost to retain MS place. Harrington'
he OF ,a:e burglary notoriety is working
earnestly in his behalf, and it is actually
stated that under such influence an order
has been issued from government head
quarters Mt Long Branch to withdraw
the application Tor his resignation. But
it j. also stated that the commission of
his successor Wells has been for wurdcd

BALrlMoRE has been greatly excited
over remarkable marriage which has
recently taken place within her limits.
The bridegroom is pronounced u lincal
descendant Of the British royal house Of
pLutananet. and the bride -, for aught

noblc,t princes, who had many'a time
and oft freely partaken alta royal banquet
of tcnderluin steaks, cut from some "i MS
numerous captives. Atany rate she Is

The following recipe for getting r'd OF
cartain very coMmon pests may be found
useful: The best mode Of getting rid of
bedbugs is to iumigatc them with brlm-
stone. Houses standing long aud empty,
which have >warmed with them, have by
this means been ettectually freed from
them. Place in the centre of the room
dish containing about four ounces ct
birthstone; remove from the room such
metallic surfaces as might be effected by
the fumes; close every aperture, even 10
the kevhole, and light the brimstone.
After four or five hours enter the room
and open the windows for thorough
airing.
