JEFFERsoN's "RIp VAN WINKLE, "-Bouci-
cault says he wrote rip Van Wrinkle" as at
present played by Joseph Jefferson, after
the return of the latter to London from an
Australian tour. jefferson was desirous of
playingi it, but feared to make the attempt on
account of the disastrous failure of John
Ovens, few weeks previously, in "Solon
Shingle." Jefferson said the character was
a success, but the piece a failure Bouci-
cault replied that it was because in the old
play rip" was represented from the COM
mencement as an aged drunkard, which was
the fundamental b!under of the piece;
that Rip should first appear as a young
man, good looking and graceful,
in whom the audience could
take genial interest, and that his change
to old age at the end of the play would thus
be made effective. Jefferson, who had
asked Boucicault to rewrite the play, was
afraid he could not make the change, but
finally consented, as Boucicault declared

The following Is the memorial OF James
Gordon Bennett presented to Congress
and introduced into the Senate on Tues
day:
The memorial of James Gordon Ben
nett, of the City and State af New York,
respectfully showeth: That the memo
rialist has purchased the Arctic vessel
Pandora and will tit her out and man
her, at his own cost and expense, with a
view to prosecute and, if possible, bring
to II successful issue the Polar eXplora-
tons which have SO long occupied the
attention of the scientific world; that to
nationalize this enterprise and impart to
it the necessary weight and authority
your memorialist respectfully requests
that bill may be passed through Con-
gress authorizing the transfer of the
Pandora to the United States flag; the
change of her name should the memo
rialist deem it desirable, and that she
may be commanded and Differed by
United States naval officers and be sub
jectcd to United States naval rule and
discipline. Your memoralist further
respectfully suggests that the President
be empowered by Congress to confer such
additional authority upon the command
ing officer that he may be enabled in his
isolated position to enforce discipline in
cases of extreme emergency.
Your memorialist further requests that
the United States Government may lie
authorized by your honorable bodies to
give its aid aud countenance to the en-
tcrprise and to afford such assistance as
may appear advisable.
And your mcmorialist will ever pray,
&C., JAS GORDON BENNETT.

esquire BOastful."

A king had squire called esquire
Boasttul," because he promised Il great
deal and performed little. This kings
Jester thought he would teach esquire
Boastiul" a lesson and he did so.
One day the king had had some very
nice roast birds for dinner. lie called bis
squire and said:
"Hans, so to the woods and shoot ten
birds for my supper
"Not ten only" answered the squire,
but a hundred will l shoot for your
"GoodH replied the king, "if you can
shoot as well rs that, you may bring me
a hundred; you shall have dollar for
each"
The jester heard this and went to the
woods before the squire, to where the
birds where most plentiful, and said:
Little birds, fly! fly apace!
Hans the Boaster comes to this place,
Now for your lives pray run Il race!"
SO when Hans reached the woods there
wasn't Il bird to be seen; all had hidden
in their nests. When he went back to the
king empty handed, he was sent to prison
for hundred days because he had not
kept his word.
When he was free again the king said
to him one day, II must have five fishes
for my dinner
Hans remembered the hundred birds,
and tried to rein in his boastful tongue.
Il will bring you fifty fishes instead of
five"
"If you are such a good fisherman you
may bring me fifty" said the king, "and
you shall have five dollars for each one
50 the Jester ran to the sea and cried:
Little fishes, swim apace!
Hans the Boaster comes to this place,
Now for your lives pray run race"
And when Hans reached the sea shore
not a fish could he catch. They had all
gone to the other shore. When he re-
turned to the king again empty handed,
he was put in prison for fifty days be-
cause he had not kept his word.
When he was once more at liberty the
king said to him; 81 must have rab
bit"
Hans remembered his imprisonment
and replied:
"Sir, will bring you at least ten"
"If you are such "a good hunter bring
me ten you shall have ten dollars for
each ONE answered the king.
And the jester FASTENED to the forest
and cried:
Little rabbits, run apace!
Hans the Booster comes to this place,
Now for your lives pray run u race"
And Hans hunted all day and never
shot single rabbit, 50 he had ten days
more in prison because he had not kept
his word.
When he was at liberty the king said,
II must have Il stag for my dinner
Hans remembered the sutlerings his
previous Boosting had brought upon him,
and replied, modestly;
Il will 60 to the woods and try and
tiud one fer you, SIR
Scarcely had he got to the woods when
he shot very fine stag. He took it joy
fully to the king, who exclaimed "Sec
when you do not promise impossibiitics
you are able to keep your word.'
And the jester laughed in his sleeve,
for Squire Boastful" never boosted after

A Horse THAT WASN'T DEAD.-A Gu
rious case of suspended animation oc-
CURED in Dewittvlle the other day. A
number of teams were drawing bark to
the tannery, when suddenly one of the
horses in the leading team fell appar-
emily stone dead. The road was narrow,
and in order to let the other teams pass,
a rope was fastened to the neck of the
dead horse, and he was dragged nearly a
quarter of mile, and left by the road
side. That evening collection was
taken up by the men engaged about the
tannery, for the purpose OF buying an
other horse for the unfortunate teamster,
and hearty sympathy and generosity were
shown toward the owner of the dead
horse. The next morning when the men
went tn the stables to feed their teams,
the dead horse was found standing quietly
in the barn yard. He was apparently
quite well, with the exception that large
patches of skin were worn of his side in
dragging him along the road. Ellen
