a CLOSE SnAvE.-An exhibition was
given in bingham, Mass, some two
months since, by Tom Thumb, at which
the prices were twenty-five cents for
those over ten years OF age, and twelve
and half cents for those under. 1t
was Johnny's tenth birthday, and his
cousin May, aged thirteen, thoug hit it
to be her duty to celebrate it by taking
him, in the afternoon, 10 see the dwarf
Arriving at the door, she put down
thirty-eight cents and asked for two

well, replied Miss May, this is his
tenth birthday; bit he was not bonn un-

The vender OF tickets accepted the
accuracy of the ayerment, and handed
her the proper certificate Of admission.
But it was close fit.

THE ExrRAvAGANcE of the TINES
Thurlow Weed says: "There are 10000
New York ladies whose costumes,
when in full dress, cost at least GOO
each. Fifteen years ago the same num-
Der of fashionable ladies would have
appeared adorned quite as attractively
at an average expense of $3.50. Ten
thousand children, under ten years Of
age, are elaboratcly and fantastically
arrayed at an expense of from $l00 10
$3.50 each, while the children of veal
thy citizens fifteen years ago were sim
ply but appropriately attired at an ex-
pense of twenty or twenty-five dollars.

CHARGE OF THE CoURT.-"1f the
jury believe from the evidence that the
plaintiff and defendant were partners
in the grocery, and that the plaintiff
bought cut the defendant, and that the
defendan; paid the note by delivering
to the plaintiff COW; which he warran-
ted not breachy; and the warrantee was
broken by the reason of the breachiness
of the COW, and he drove the COW back
and rendered her to the defendant, but
he refused to receive her, and the plain
tiff took her home again, and put a
heavy yoke on her to prevent her jnmp-
ing fences, and by reason of the yoke
she broke her neck and died; and if the
jury believe that the defendants inter-
est in the grocery was worth anything
the plaintiffs note was worthless, and
the COW was good for nothing, either
for beef or milk, then the jury must
find out for themselves how to decide
the case; for the court, if she under
stood herself, and she thinks she does,
don't know how such a-case should
be decided"

WHEN YOU'RE DOWN.

What legions Of friends always bless us,
When golden success lights our way!
How they smile as they softly address us,
SO cordial, good naturcd and gay,
But, oh, when the sun of prosperity
Has set, then how quickly they frown,
And cry out in tones of severity,
Kick the man-don't you see ne is down.
What though, when you knew not 4 sor-
row,
Your heart was as open as day,
And your friends, when they wanted to
borrow,
You'd oblige, and ne 'er ask them to pay
What though not soul you e'er Sighted,
AS you wandered about through the
town,
Your friends become very near sighted,
And don't seem to see you when down.
When you're up, you're loudly exalted,
And traders all sing out your praise;
When you're down you have greatly de-
faulted
And they really don't fancy your
ways"
Your style was tip-top when you'd
money,
SO sings every sucker and clown;
But now it's exceedingly funny
Things are altered "because you are
down."
Oh, give me the heart that forever
Is free from the worlds selfish rust.
And the soul whose high, noble endeavor
Is to raise fallen men from the dust;
And when in adversity's ocean,
A victim is likely to drown,
All hail to the friend whose devotion
Will lift up the man when he's "down."

The SOCIAL SIDE or TIE QUESTION.
Speaking of the probility Of Pinch
back and his wife entering the sacred
arena of Washington society, CORES
pondent of the Radical Troy Times
says: care we so mean and pusillani
nous and unchristian that we can't bear
to see colored Senator and his wife at
a reception Yet there are Republi-
cans who are affected by this kind of
rumor and talk. They think it would
be unpleasant to have issued the forced
upon them in the society OF Washing
ton! Yet they, one and all, voted for
a ciyil-rights bill that gives colored peo-
pie equal rights in hotels and places OF
amusement. The fact is that some Of
our Republican friends are still in bon
dage 10 the cruel prejudice against the
negro, and this is true of some of the
Southeran members most Jealous in IA
vor Of the passage Of extreme measures
like the force bill As far as heard
from, Washington is not the only place
where Radicals entertain that 'cruel
prejudice. New York, Chicago and
other Northern cities are giving evi-
dence that people prefer to select their
associates at table and otherwise.
Northern Republicans are exactly the
people who will be hit severely by the
ciyilrights freak.

SO general has the public confidence
become in Dr. Ayers medicines, and

principled villains are attempting to de-

them their worthless nostrums under

Pastilcs for Coughs, Cherry Pectoral
Cough Drops. Ayers Fever and Ague
Cure, DR.. Ayers Indian Pills, sc, &c,

facture or composition) are specimens
of this villainy and deceit. They not
only delraud the sick Of their money
but Of their health, or the recovery of
their health which is far more impor-
tant than money. From actual counter
feits the people are protected by law
which the Doctor promptly enforces,
but these evasions sometimes elude the
law, and purchasers must protect them
selves by refusing to be deceived by
them.-Dover On. H. Bee.

What with ''brandy" made from saw
dust of the fir tree, butter innocent of
cream, sugar extracted from rags,
and fruit favors derived from the waste
products of the cow-yard, science will in
time be able to SO far utilize the waste
of the world that its natural productions
will find no favor. Only the other day
an intinerant follower of science was
heard to declare that the possessed the
secret of manufacturing honey far SUI
perior to that made by bees, point of
great merit being that it cost only about
five cents pound to manufacture, while
the natural substance ''cost the bees
over twenty five cents. The discovery
of chemists is the existence of the &C
tive principle of vanilla in the bark Of
the pine tree. 1t is recovered by distilla-
ton, and an ordinary tree will yield
about twenty dollars worth annually
without destroying it. 1t is now being
manufactured in Germany, but will not
for some time displace the genuine ar
ticle, its chief value probably being as
an adulterant for vanilla itself.

Four MoNrus SUBMERGEp.-When
the splendid steamer Louisiana collided
and sunk in Chesapeake Bay last No
vember, off Smiths Point, there went
down In her main saloon, one of Stieffs
grand square pianos. Last week while
the wreckers were at work upon the
hull of the Louisiana, they succeeded
in raising the piano, and TO the aston
ishment of everybody who has seen it,
the instrument is in a remarkable state
of preservation. The frame is as per-
feet as when first placed in position,
not string broke, and all in good tune.
The sounding board is also in an excel
lent state of preservation. When it is
considered that the piano was subjected
to the action of the salt water for over
four months, its preservation testities
strongly in behalf Of the superb work
manship of the Messrs. Stief: Although
glue is mainly used in joining and in
nearly every other portion of the piano,
there does not appear even a crack or
opening in any part of the instrument.
This piano was purchased of the Messrs.
Stieff by the Bay Lire Company some
four years since, when the Louisiana
was reftted at all expense Of $4,000.
After undergoing the manipulations Of
all the pretty lady passengers, who
have travelled this popular route for
four years past, and after resting at the
bottom of the Chesapeake for over four
months, where perhaps it afforded
amusement for the mermaids and sport
for old Neptune, it now turns up almost
as good as new. The Messrs. Stietf'
have placed it on exhibition at their
warerooms, North Liberty street, and
it is quite an object of curiosity with a
large number who call daily to gaze
upon it.-BaLimoreon.
